Case ReportsVolvulus of the gall bladder diagnosed by ultrasonography, computed tomography, coronal magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography.
A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of right upper quadrant pain. Upon physical examination the vital signs of the patient were within normal ranges. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) examination of the abdomen was obtained, which demonstrated a large dilatated cystic structure, measuring approximately 68.6 mm multiply 48.6 mm, with marked distension and inflammation. ⋯ Simple cholecystectomy was performed. Macroscopic findings included a distended and gangrenous gallbladder, and closer examination revealed a counterclockwise torsion of 360 degrees on the gallbladder mesentery. Coronal MRI and MRCP showing characteristic radiography may be useful in making a definitive diagnosis.

To study the effects of chitosan gel and blending chiston/gelatin film on preventing peritoneal adhesion in rats. ⋯ (1) Chitosan gel has preventive effect on traumatic or ischemic peritoneal adhesion, but no obvious effect on foreign body-induced peritoneal adhesion. (2) Chitosan film may exacerbate the peritoneal adhesion. Blending with gelatin to chitosan film can accelerate the degradation of the film, but can simultaneously facilitate the formation of peritoneal adhesion.

Influences of enteral nutrition combined with probiotics on gut microflora and barrier function of rats with abdominal infection.
To investigate the influences of enteral, parenteral nutrition and probiotics delivered by gut on intestinal microecology, epithelial tight junctions, immune and barrier function of rats with abdominal infection. ⋯ Application of EN combined with probiotics could improve the expression of transmembrane binding proteins (occludin) and IgA, correct the intestinal flora disturbance, maintain gut barrier functions and tight junctions, and reduce the occurrence of gut bacterial translocation.
