Methanogens were in the isolated sigmoid colon but not in the colostomy bag of a woman with a left hemicolectomy with end colostomy and mucous fistula. The predominant methanogen was Methanobrevibacter smithii. An anaerobic bacterial community supported by nondietary substrates was present in the isolated sigmoid colon.  相似文献

Introduction

Iliocaval fistulas can complicate an iliac artery aneurysm. The clinical presentation is classically a triad of hypotension, a pulsatile mass and heart failure. In this instance, following presentation with multiorgan failure, management included the immediate use of an endovascular stent graft on discovery of the fistula.

Case presentation

A 62-year-old Caucasian man presented to our tertiary hospital for management of iatrogenic trauma due to the insertion of a central venous line into his right common carotid artery, causing transient ischemic attack. Our patient presented to a peripheral hospital with fever, nausea, vomiting, acute renal failure, acute hepatic dysfunction and congestive heart failure. A provisional diagnosis of sepsis of unknown origin was made. There was a 6.5 cm×6.5 cm right iliac artery aneurysm present on a non-contrast computed tomography scan. An unexpected intra-operative diagnosis of an iliocaval fistula was made following the successful angiographic removal of the central line to his right common carotid artery. Closure of the iliocaval fistula and repair of the iliac aneurysm using a three-piece endovascular aortic stent graft was then undertaken as part of the same procedure. This was an unexpected presentation of an iliocaval fistula.

Conclusion

Our case demonstrates that endovascular repair of a large iliac artery aneurysm associated with a caval fistula is safe and effective and can be performed at the time of the diagnostic angiography. The presentation of an iliocaval fistula in this case was unusual which made the diagnosis difficult and unexpected at the time of surgery. The benefit of immediate repair, despite hemodynamic instability during anesthesia, is clear. Our patient had two coronary angiograms through his right femoral artery decades ago. Unusual iatrogenic causes of iliocaval fistulas secondary to previous coronary angiograms with wire and/or catheter manipulation should be considered in patients such as ours.  相似文献

By means of horseradish peroxidase administration into the wall of the sigmoid colon central part, localization, relative amount, body forms and size of the neurons, dealing with innervation of the given part of the colon have been determined. Labelled neurons are present in the colon wall, in ganglia of the caudal mesenteric artery nervous plexus, in the caudal and cranial mesenteric ganglia in the celiac plexus ganglia, in nodes and internodal branches of the lumbar part of the sympathetic trunk (the left one predominantly) and in the spinal ganglia from TXIII up to LVII. In the grey substance of the spinal cord labelled neurons are not revealed. The main part of the postganglionar sympathetic neurons, projecting their axons to the sigmoid colon, are situated in the caudal mesenteric ganglion. In the spinal ganglia the most part of the labelled neurons are to the left at the level of LII-LVI, to the right--at the level of LII-LV. The optimal time for revealing the greatest number of the labelled neurons are the 1st-3d days after administration of the enzyme. Capture of the lable takes place later in the neurons of those ganglia, which are situated more further from the place of peroxidase administration.  相似文献

VIP was given intravenously over 1 min at the doses 0.1 and 0.2 micrograms X kg X min-1 to twenty-one anesthetized patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Intra-arterial blood pressure was monitored and various blood flows were measured simultaneously by electromagnetic technique. Following VIP, intra-arterial blood pressure was decreased. The blood flows were increased in the gastroduodenal-, and the left gastric arteries. The flow in the hepatic artery proper was increased only following the 0.2 micrograms dose. The flow in the superior mesenteric artery varied considerably inter-individually. In branches supplying only the small intestine, it seemed to be unaffected. The flow in the splenic artery was decreased in normal-sized spleens, but unaffected in enlarged spleens. The flow in the external iliac artery initially decreased and thereafter increased. Changes in vascular resistances showed that VIP acted as a vasodilator in the splanchnic region except in the superior mesenteric vasculature, where it was ineffective. In normal spleens it was a vasoconstrictor. In the external iliac artery, an initial insignificant vasoconstriction was followed by vasodilation. It seemed that VIP acts directly on the vessels and has a specific pattern of vasoactivity of probable physiological significance.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Gastrocolic fistula is a rare presentation of both benign and malignant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Malignant gastrocolic fistula is most commonly associated with adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon in the Western World. Despite radical approaches to treatment, long-term survival is rarely documented. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with the classic triad of symptoms associated with gastrocolic fistula. Radical en-bloc surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy were performed. She is still alive ten years after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Gastrocolic fistula is an uncommon presentation of adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon. Radical en-bloc surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy may occasionally produce long-term survival.  相似文献

A significant reduction in immunogenicity has been observed in some frozen-thawed tissues after cryopreservation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of programmed cryopreservation on immunogenicity of rabbit bladder mucosa and on the extent of immunological rejection caused by the allograft. This study would provide theoretical support for the application of allogenic frozen-thawed bladder mucosa in the treatment of urethral stricture. Forty-two adult male New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. The immunogenicity was detected by mixed lymphocyte reaction using the allograft of bladder mucosa (fresh and frozen-thawed) and spleen lymphocytes. Twelve urethral stricture models were established in New Zealand rabbits for substitution urethroplasty using the allograft of bladder mucosa, which were divided into fresh and frozen-thawed group. Two weeks after operation, lymphocyte proliferation was detected in both blood and spleen of recipient rabbits. At the same time, immunohistochemical staining of urethral allograft was performed and the expression of CD3, CD4 and CD8 were observed. The mRNA of bladder mucosa (fresh and frozen-thawed) was extracted and the expressions of RLA-I, RLA-II and RLA-III gene were detected by real-time PCR. By mixed lymphocyte reaction, we found that allogenic lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by frozen-thawed bladder epithelial cells was significantly weaker than that of the fresh cells. The blood and spleen lymphocytes from fresh bladder mucosa group showed significantly higher proliferation rate than frozen-thawed group. Compared with the fresh group, the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells infiltrated in the operation locus of bladder mucosa urethroplasty was significantly decreased in the frozen-thawed group. However, the expressions of RLA genes did not change significantly after the freeze-thaw procedure. This study demonstrates for the first time that a programmed freeze-thaw procedure of rabbit bladder mucosa could reduce its immunogenicity in allogenic bladder mucosa urethroplasty and thus restrict the extent of immunological rejection, therefore, provides theoretical support for the application of frozen-thawed bladder mucosa in the treatment of urethral stricture.  相似文献

We describe a case of a congenital coronary artery fistula of the right coronary artery draining into the left atrium in an eight-year-old boy. The initial diagnosis was made after the detection of a continuous cardiac murmur at the age of six years. Transthoracic echocardiography showed the right coronaric ostium dilatation, the site of drainage in the left atrium and left ventricle volume overload. Catheterization confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent percutaneous closure by PDA occluder device. Immediate post-closure angiograms showed complete occlusion of the fistula. The patient showed transient ischemic changes on ECG associated to an increase of plasmatic levels of the cardiac enzyme. ECG and cardiac enzyme were normal one week after the procedure.  相似文献

Mucin glycans were isolated from different regions of the normal human intestine (ileum, cecum, transverse and sigmoid colon, and rectum) of two individuals with ALeb blood group. A systematic study of the monosaccharides and oligosaccharide alditols released by reductive beta-elimination from mucins was performed using gas chromatography, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques. Important variations were observed in the mucin-associated oligosaccharide content with an increasing gradient of sialic acid from the ileum to the colon associated with a reverse gradient of fucose. Moreover, a comparative study of the Sda/Cad and ABH blood group determinants along the gastrointestinal tract showed the same reverse distribution in the two kinds of antigens. In addition, besides their heterogeneity, sialic acids presented considerable variations in the degree of O-acetylation in relation to glycan sialylation level. These data are discussed in view of recent concepts suggesting that the oligosaccharide composition of the gut constitutes a varied ecosystem for microorganisms that are susceptible to adapt there and possess the specific adhesion system and specific enzymes able to provide a carbohydrate nutrient.  相似文献

ABSTRACT: We report two cases of gastrointestinal perforation (GIP) after radiotherapy in patients receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Case 1 was a 61-year-old woman with lung metastases after a radical nephrectomy for a right RCC (cT3aN0M0) treated with interferon-alpha (OIF, 5 MIU, three times per week). She developed lytic metastases of the left femur and the left acetabulum. She was treated with palliative radiotherapy to the metastatic portion (3 Gy [MULTIPLICATION SIGN] 10 fractions), and 400 mg sorafenib twice per day plus continuing interferon alpha. She experienced sudden left lower abdominal pain after four weeks of treatment, and was diagnosed with a perforation of the sigmoid colon with fecal peritonitis. Case 2 was a 48-year-old man with lung, lymph node, and bone metastases after a radical nephrectomy for a right RCC (cT2N0M0), and was treated with 400 mg sorafenib twice per day. He developed lytic bone metastases of the lumbar vertebrae, which was treated with palliative radiotherapy to L2-4 (3 Gy [MULTIPLICATION SIGN] 10 fractions). He experienced sudden abdominal pain after two months of radiation treatment, and was diagnosed with a perforation of the sigmoid colon with fecal peritonitis. These cases underwent radiotherapy, and therefore this may be related to the radiosensitivity of TKI.  相似文献

With the use of anticoagulants to prevent recurrence of thrombosis it is now possible to open a major artery which has been occluded by a thrombus, remove the thickened lining with the clot and restore the continuity of the vessel. Free vein grafts have been used successfully to replace arterial segments in the extremities. Vein inlay grafts are preferred in dealing with aneurysms of the abdominal aorta. The aneurysmal wall can be used to support the venous segments. It has been possible to by-pass aneurysms of the abdominal aorta by anastomosing the splenic artery to the left iliac artery. The use of the left superficial femoral artery as a by-pass to supply blood to the right leg is described.  相似文献

The authors present data on 13 patients operated on for the treatment of locally advanced colorectal cancer infiltrating the adjacent parts of the urinary tract. Based on prior diagnostic evidences, every surgical intervention has been indicated as an expected curative resection. All patients of this study underwent a curative resection. The origin of the advanced cancer was in 9 cases the sigmoid colon, in 3 cases the rectum and in 1 case the ascending colon. Beside the resection of the tumorous colon or rectum, a resection of the urinary bladder has been performed in 9, a nephrectomy in 3 and the resection of the ureter in 2 cases. An additional gynecological resection was made in 4 cases for tumors infiltrating the female internal genitals. No mortality and no serious complication needing reoperation occurred in these series. Based on their experiences of a series of 13 radically operated cases, the authors suggest extended multiple organ resection for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer infiltrating the urinary tract.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Morphologic findings of amyloid in urine cytology material have rarely been reported because amyloidosis of the urinary tract is a relatively uncommon disorder. We present a case of primary amyloidosis of the ureter, including catheterized urine cytologicfindings. CASE: A 78-year-old man had pollakiuria and dysuria for 5 years before admission after transurethral resection of the prostate. Clinical examination revealed left hydronephrosis and stricture of the lower part of the left ureter, and a malignant ureteral tumor was suspected clinically. In catheterized urine cytology, many clusters of epithelial cells, inflammatory cells and abundant, amorphous, waxy material were observed. The amorphous material stained light green by the Papanicolaou method and positive with direct fast scarlet (DFS), showing yellow-green birefringence under polarized light. Positivity with DFS staining was not affected by treatment with potassium permanganate. Immunocytochemically the material was AL-type amyloid protein. Atypia were absent from epithelial cells. The patient had no history of diseases that could cause secondary amyloidosis. The present case was considered to be primary amyloidosis localized to the left ureter because no particular morphologic change in the epithelial cells of the urinary tract was observed. CONCLUSION: Amyloid can be present in urine and should not be overlooked or confused with tumor diathesis when a malignant tumor is suspected clinically.  相似文献

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) prevents left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction, but its effect on atherosclerosis is unknown. We examined two kinds of rabbit atherosclerosis models. Myocardial infarction-prone Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL-MI) rabbits were treated with G-CSF or saline for 7 days from 14 months old. The vascular injury models were created by inflating angioplasty balloon in the iliac artery of rabbits and were divided into G-CSF and saline group. G-CSF significantly reduced the stenosis score of coronary artery and lipid plaque area of thoracic aorta in WHHL-MI rabbits at 4 weeks after the treatment. In the vascular injury model, G-CSF significantly prevented an increase in neointima/media ratio at 4 weeks after the treatment. G-CSF accelerated the reendothelialization of denuded arteries, and the pretreatment with nitric oxide synthase inhibitor significantly inhibited it. These results suggest that G-CSF has a therapeutic potential for the progression of atherosclerosis.  相似文献

HIV infection is associated with depletion of intestinal CD4(+) T cells, resulting in mucosal immune dysfunction, microbial translocation, chronic immune activation, and progressive immunodeficiency. In this study, we examined HIV-infected individuals with active virus replication (n = 15), treated with antiretroviral therapy (n = 13), and healthy controls (n = 11) and conducted a comparative analysis of T cells derived from blood and four gastrointestinal (GI) sites (terminal ileum, right colon, left colon, and sigmoid colon). As expected, we found that HIV infection is associated with depletion of total CD4(+) T cells as well as CD4(+)CCR5(+) T cells in all GI sites, with higher levels of these cells found in ART-treated individuals than in those with active virus replication. While the levels of both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation were higher in the blood of untreated HIV-infected individuals, only CD4(+) T cell proliferation was significantly increased in the gut of the same patients. We also noted that the levels of CD4(+) T cells and the percentages of CD4(+)Ki67(+) proliferating T cells are inversely correlated in both blood and intestinal tissues, thus suggesting that CD4(+) T cell homeostasis is similarly affected by HIV infection in these distinct anatomic compartments. Importantly, the level of intestinal CD4(+) T cells (both total and Th17 cells) was inversely correlated with the percentage of circulating CD4(+)Ki67(+) T cells. Collectively, these data confirm that the GI tract is a key player in the immunopathogenesis of HIV infection, and they reveal a strong association between the destruction of intestinal CD4(+) T cell homeostasis in the gut and the level of systemic CD4(+) T cell activation.  相似文献

With no effective therapy to prevent or treat ureteral stricture (US), a multifactorial fibrotic disease after iatrogenic injury of the ureter, the need for new therapies is urgent. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely studied for treating tissue defects and excessive fibrosis, and recent studies established that one of the main therapeutic vectors of MSCs is comprised in their secretome and represented by extracellular vesicles (EVs). Thus, we have determined to explore the specific role of MSCs‐derived EVs (MSC‐EVs) treatment in a pre‐clinical model of US. The results firstly showed that either a bolus dose of MSCs or a bolus dose of MSC‐EVs (administration via renal‐arterial) significantly ameliorated ureteral fibrosis and recuperated ureter morphological development in a US rat model. We confirmed our observations through MSCs or MSC‐EVs treatment alleviated hydronephrosis, less renal dysfunction and blunted transforming growth factor‐β1 induced fibration. Due to MSC‐EVs are the equivalent dose of MSCs, and similar curative effects of transplantation of MSCs and MSC‐EVs were observed, we speculated the curative effect of MSCs in treating US might on account of the release of EVs through paracrine mechanisms. Our study demonstrated an innovative strategy to counteract ureteral stricture formation in a rat model of US.  相似文献

A complex of special structures having compensatory-adaptive character has been found in the umbilical artery wall of a mature dog. The role of the structures revealed is to participate in an active regulation of the blood stream. In the test animals with a model of the blood stream disorder in the iliac artery reservoir, the importance of the structures of its active regulation increases. The investigations performed have stated the fact, that the canine umbilical artery during the postnatal period of ontogenesis actively participates in regulation of the blood stream in the internal iliac artery reservoir. In some cases the umbilical artery plays the role of a blocking artery, in others--as a powerful arteriovenous formation and it is able to participate in distribution and regulation of the blood stream.  相似文献

This report describes a patient who received a traumatic injury of the neck 28 years prior to admission to this institution. He had required multiple hospitalizations, along with medications for congestive heart failure. After ligation of a large arteriovenous fistula and replacement of a 3 cm segment of the left common carotid artery with an 8 mm double-velour graft, the patient was greatly improved.  相似文献
