AIM:To compare rifaximin and insulin-like growth factor(IGF)-1 treatment of hyperammonemia and brain edema in cirrhotic rats with portal occlusion.METHODS:Rats with CCl4-induced cirrhosis with ascites plus portal vein occlusion and controls were randomized into six groups:Cirrhosis;Cirrhosis + IGF-1;Cirrhosis + rifaximin;Controls;Controls + IGF-1;and Controls + rifaximin.An oral glutamine-challenge test was performed,and plasma and cerebral ammonia,glucose,bilirubin,transaminases,endotoxemia,brain water content and ileocecal cultures were measured and liver histology was assessed.RESULTS:Rifaximin treatment significantly reduced bacterial overgrowth and endotoxemia compared with cirrhosis groups,and improved some liver function parameters(bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase).These effects were associated with a significant reduction in cerebral water content.Blood and cerebral ammonia levels,and area-underthe-curve values for oral glutamine-challenge tests were similar in rifaximin-treated cirrhotic rats and control group animals.By contrast,IGF-1 administration failed to improve most alterations observed in cirrhosis.CONCLUSION:By reducing gut bacterial overgrowth,only rifaximin was capable of normalizing plasma and brain ammonia and thereby abolishing low-grade brain edema,alterations associated with hepatic encephalopathy.

阅读古代诗歌最核心的能力就是读懂诗歌,读完一首诗要围绕着“写了什么”“为什么写”“写得怎样”这三个问题进行思考,如果能够顺利的回答出这三个问题,则标志着你读懂了这首诗。近几年的高考试题也都是围绕着这三个方面来命制的。   要读懂古代诗歌,可以从以下几个方面入手:   1、从题目入手   古人云:诗言志。今人还说:标题是文章的眼睛,眼睛是心灵的窗户。题目是解读诗歌的钥匙,诗歌的题目往往隐含着作者写作

洛阳是中国文化的发源地之一,地上、地下的文物资源非常丰富,为研究性学习提供了丰富的资源。自古就有“文史不分家”之说,语文与历史筋脉相连。我校学生开展以洛阳文化为内容的研究性学习是非常有优势的,他们熟悉的历史人物与故事、方言与传统、景物与古迹等,都是洛阳文化的载体。因此,基于洛阳文化的研究性学习对于洛阳的高中学生更有着独特的意义。   一、高中生开展洛阳文化研究性学习的必要性与可行性   研究性学习
