Acute pancreatitis is a severe disease with considerable morbidity and mortality. The incidence of acute pancreatitis is rising in Western countries.1 Gallstones and alcohol consumption are the most important risk factors. Other risk factors include hyperlipidemia, hypercalcemia and trauma. In 10-25% of the patients with acute pancreatitis, no obvious risk factors are present.2 Drugs are also associated with the event and pathogenesis of drug-induced acute pancreatitis has not been yet completely clarified.

Figure 7. Secretion of MMP-9 by human monocytes is increased when cells are cultured on a collagen type I substrate. Culture media harvested from monocytes cultured for 24 hours on uncoated plastic ; or collagen type I coated dishes were analyzed simultaneously on two 10% polyacrylamide minigels. One gel contained gelatin and was processed for SDS-PAGE zymography A the other was processed for immunoblotting B ; by transferring to nitrocellulose and probing with an antiMMP-9 antibody, followed by chemiluminescent detection. Cultures of monocytes on collagen type I demonstrate increased release of gelatinolytic activity associated with pro-MMP-9 compared with cells cultured on uncoated dishes. Culture media of monocytes cultured on collagen type I substrate produced a faint, lowermolecular-weight lytic band that was visible on the gel but did not reproduce well, suggesting processing of pro-MMP-9 into active form. Treatment with either genistein or colchicine, both of which reduce monocyte spreading, also reduces gelatinolytic activity in media compared with that of untreated monocytes. Immunoblotting also indicated increased pro-MMP-9 protein release from monocytes cultured on collagen type I and inhibitory effect of genistein and colchicine. Immunopositive band running at lower apparent molecular weight probably represents a processed form of MMP-9. Conditioned culture media were collected from wells in which equal numbers of cells 106 ; were seeded under all conditions. Equal amounts of protein from culture media were loaded on gel. Position of same set of molecular weight markers in each gel kD ; showed that electrophoretic migration was slightly retarded in polyacrylamide gel containing gelatin A ; compared with regular gel with same polyacrylamide percentage B and exelon. Table 1 shows that using colchicinesaturated cotton balls and agar-containing colchicine and applying both to the seedlings could successfully induce polyploidy in C. asiatica. However, the application method using cotton balls saturated with 2% colchicine solution was the most effective means for the induction.

In order to develop effective medical therapy for patients with NAFLD or NASH, further work is clearly needed to enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis and natural history of this condition. Some lines of evidence, albeit still inconclusive and some derived from studies in animal models of fatty liver suggest that oxidative stress lipid peroxidation, bacterial toxins, overproduction of TNF-, alteration of hepatocyte ATP stores and Cyp2E1 Cyp4A enzyme activity may play a role in the genesis and progression of NAFLD and NASH. Acute or chronic hepatic steatosis regardless of the cause is associated with lipid peroxidation which seemed to increase with the severity of steatosis.49 Malondialdehyde, an end-product of lipid peroxidation, activates hepatic stellate cells, stimulating collagen production and fibrogenesis. Malondialdehyde may also contribute to inflammation by activating NF- which regulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF- and interleukin-8.50 Another end-product of lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxynonenal, is a strong chemoattractant for neutrophils. Furthermore, the risk factors for development of NAFLD, namely obesity with rapid weight loss and type 2 diabetes mellitus, lead to increase circulating levels of free fatty acids with consequent enhanced concentration in the liver. Free fatty acids per se are potentially cytotoxic51 and may also increase cytochrome P450 Cyp2E1 Cyp4A activity as shown in a rat model of NAFLD using a. Cigarette smoking is well established to decrease the risk of uc; however, smoking is strongly associated with cd and fluoxetine. Further cleavage took place, and four and a half hours after fertilization no evidences of cleavage were visible except the presence of light streaks on the animal hemisphere. These streaks, which were due to the absence of superficial pigment, coincided with the position of the cleavage fur rows. They appeared to have been caused by the movement of pigment deeper into the egg in association with the development of the clefts. In the 1: 100, 000 solution of colchicine, the first, second, and third cleavages frequently took place as in the controls. Shortly after the initiation of the third cleavage, many of the eggs showed diminished grooves, the others continued dividing as in the controls. On the follow ing day, some of those in which the grooves were fading showed no trace of cleavage except the light streaks, while others had the animal pole region largely cellular with the vegetative hemisphere uncleaved. The proportion of cellular to non-cellular material varied considerably. These were all dead on the third day. In the 1: 000, 000 solution, the early cleavage was like that in the controls, no fading being evident except possibly on the vegetative halves. The second day embryos varied from completely normal to those with a small cell cap in the region of the animal pole, the rest of the egg being uncleaved. These embryos also, even those that appeared normal, were dead on the third day. It is evident from these preliminary experiments that the eggs varied considerably in their susceptibility to colchicine, and that with a con tinuous exposure it was relatively toxic. A 1: 100, 000 exposure for one hour was found to give a fair number of abnormal forms without too high mortality and even a concentration of 1: 10, 000 for the same length of time was also satisfactory, although the mortality was somewhat greater. Most of the eggs in both these concentrations gave rise to normal embryos. The following studies, then, were made on selected individuals showing the characteristic abnormalities. It is extremely difficult to interpret fully many of the abnormalities obtained by the treatment with colchicine. It was not possible to secure an orderly and progressive series of developmental stages as in normal development. The wide range of susceptibility of the eggs to the drug and the diverse effects obtained make it necessary to consider each egg individually and attempt to relate the conditions in earlier cleavages to the morphological patterns found in the more advanced embryos. In general the segmentation of treated eggs becomes meroblastic, with the.
Risk Factors are Signs of Disease Not Disease Real benefits from the drug approach to disease are limited and or of questionable value, because they fail to treat the underlying problem malnutrition. Instead, they treat the signs risk factors ; that result from years of eating highfat, high-cholesterol, high-sugar, highly-refined foods. You can think of these signs as "warning flags" sent out by your body in an attempt to tell you that there is "trouble down below" within your body. But people do not die from signs of their diseases. I have never seen a patient die of high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, or even high blood pressure. What do people showing these elevated risk factors die of? Sudden closure of an artery supplying the heart or brain in common words, a heart attack or stroke only two of many possible examples of common diseases caused by people following the Western diet ; . Here is an analogy to help you understand the consequences of misdirected treatments. Imagine for a moment that you are a doctor working in an emergency room. Through the doors late one evening a semi-comatose patient is wheeled in. You ask your nurse to collect the vital information. After making her evaluation, she reports to you that the patient is coughing, has a fever of 104 degrees, and has an infected lung pneumonia ; . After some serious contemplation you recommend aspirin, to treat the fever one sign he has pneumonia ; . Within an hour you have a patient with a normal body temperature, and 30 minutes later he is dead. Are you proud of your medical care? If you had directed your attention to the infected lung pneumonia ; and used antibiotics, then your patient would have lived, and by the way, his temperature would have also come down to normal in a short time. I have witnessed doctors bragging about how well they had controlled a patient's blood pressure while the patient was lying in the ICU dying of a heart attack. Was that good service? To allow his patient's arteries to continue to rot with a "well-treated" blood pressure. Instead, the doctor's attention should have been focused on teaching the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle, rather than stuffing the trusting patient with pills. Monitor and Treat Risk Factors Carefully Risk factors are signs giving you important information for example, an elevated cholesterol means the plaques in your arteries are at risk of bursting. This information can serve to motivate, and armed with all the right information, can produce a cure. After I have brought to life every bit of good health my patients have with a proper diet and some lifestyle changes, I will cautiously treat risk factors with medications, because in some cases the benefits from this drug therapy outweigh the risks and costs. Here are some examples of actions I take when risk factors remain elevated: Cholesterol: For high risk patients, I use statins or niacin with cholesterol-binding-agents to lower cholesterol below 150 mg dl. Determining who is at high risk is a judgment call an educated guess ; . A patient with a history of heart disease or stroke will usually get a prescription from me. See my newsletter articles: September 2002: Cholesterol When and How to Treat; June 2003: Cleaning Out Your Arteries. ; Hypertension: After several months of monitoring, I will treat levels of blood pressure of 160 100 mmHg or greater. I usually use diuretics chlorthalidone ; first, and then beta blockers next. I cautious to not lower the pressure below 140 85 mmHg with medications. See my newsletter articles: August 2002: Take Blood Pressure at Home - Get Off Your Medications; July 2004: Over-treat Your Blood Pressure and You Could Die Sooner. ; Type-2 Diabetes: I usually do not give medications unless the patient is losing too much weight or has symptoms of diabetes excessive thirst or urination ; . Very elevated blood sugar levels can be of concern to the patient and his family such as levels above 350mg dl ; . For everyone's peace of mind, I may use medications to bring about betterlooking numbers. Also, if the patient were to become ill or injured, then insulin might be necessary during this period of extreme physical stress. See my newsletter article: February 2004: Type-2 Diabetes the Expected Adaptation to Overnutrition. ; Triglycerides: For high risk patients with levels above 300 mg dl, I may give niacin or statins. See my newsletter article: February 2003: Niacin - A Time Honored Treatment for Cholesterol and Triglycerides. ; Uric acid: I will use colchcine and or allopurinol for patients with a history of uric acid stones or gout. I do not treat solely because of an elevated uric acid level and metformin.

People over 65 years of age make up 12% of this country's population, but are the recipients of approximately one-third of all the physicianordered prescriptions filled.17 Studies report that the average 70-year-old takes four to six different prescription medications daily, often prescribed by more than one provider. Since the incidence of adverse drug reactions increases as the number of medications increases, elderly patients are especially at risk for medication errors. As many as 25% of hospital admissions have been directly attributed to adverse drug events in the elderly population.18 The polypharmacy administration of many drugs ; that is commonly associated with the elderly population is in and of itself contributory to increased risk of drug reaction or interaction and increased patient injury. The more prescriptions and medications an elderly patient has to remember to take-- each with its own specific schedule--the more likely the chance of patient noncompliance or error. Again, the more prescription and over-thecounter medications a patient is taking, the higher the risk for drug interactions, side effects and other complications.19, 20.

Ab-35 Can Urethral Pressure Profile be Used to Diagnose Bladder Outlet Obstruction in those Who Fail to Void at the Time of Urodynamics? Fadi Al Housami and Marcus J. Drake Bristol Urological Institute, Bristol, UK Introduction: Pressure-flow studies PFS ; are the gold standard for diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction BOO ; in men. The bladder outlet obstruction index BOOI ; is calculated form maximum flow rate Qmax ; and detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate pdetQmax ; using the formula: BOOI PdetQmax 2 x Qmax. Some patients fail to void at the time of pressure-flow study or have severe overactivity which limits the voided volume during the test and potentially invalidated the BOOI. This study looks at the validity of using urethral pressure profile UPP ; prostatic measurements to diagnose BOO in these patients. Patients & Methods: The records of males aged 50 -88 who underwent urodynamics at the Bristol Urological Institute between 1985 2006 were retrospectively analysed. Patients with neurological symptoms or previous surgery were excluded. Urethral pressure profile UPP ; and pressure-flow study PFS ; data were obtained and analysed. Results: Of 2, 069 men who had urodynamics, there were 1, 089 who had PFS and UPP. Prostatic length, prostatic plateau height and prostatic area were correlated to the BOOI table 1 ; .
