Chest injury complicated by shock induced necrosis of the colon.
نویسنده
چکیده
Many investigators have considered the intestinal vasculature to be a unique and early haemodynamic target in circulatory shock.' Colon necrosis has been reported to be of two types2: type 1 develops spontaneously in older patients as a result of occlusive or non-occlusive vascular disease and occurs mostly in patients with congestive heart failure3; type 2 occurs in patients of various ages and appears to be due to a period of documented post-traumatic hypotension; it has been described after multiple injuries and severe lacerations24 and in two patients with chest injuries.' The purpose of this report is to describe a case of left chest stabbing leading to shock induced necrosis of the colon.

The immunological and genetic pathogeneses of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been well studied but not well elucidated in the recent years. Accordingly, the pharmacological treatment of IBDs is focusing upon the individual pathologic step (targeting therapy). It has been shown recently that new drugs such as biological immunomodulating agents and anti-inflammatory cytokines have better s...

Wedelolactone is known to have biological activities such as anti-inflammation hepatitis, anti-hepatotoxic activity, and trypsin inhibitory effect. However, up to date, there has not been studied deeply in the role of wedelolactone for zymosan-induced signaling pathways in the process of regulating the excessive inflammatory responses in host. Here, we demonstrated that wedelolactone plays an e...

متن کاملHyperglycemia and antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 in traumatic brain injury patients on parenteral nutrition
Objective(s):Hyperglycemia worsens the neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated that diabetic hyperglycemia suppressed the expression of heat shock protein 70 and 60 (HSP70 and 60) in the liver. IgG antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 (anti HSP27) were measured to determine whether hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain damage by suppressing the exp...
متن کاملSpontaneous Perforation of Rectosigmoid Colon
Spontaneous perforation of the sigmoid colon or rectom is defined as a sudden perforation of the colon in the absence of diseases such as tumors, diverticulosis or external injury. It is a very rare finding, and if neglected, results in severe peritonitis and high mortality. The causes of this rare condition are numerous, and in this case it might be due to the chronic constipation induced by a...
