1.Preoperative and postoperative prognostic indicators of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(8):557-561
Liver transplantation is a valid treatment option for select patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma HCC and end-stage liver disease. However, in approximately 20% of patients, recurrent HCC is the rate-limiting factor for longterm survival. Despite identification of clinical parameters that may stratify patients at high risk and exhaustive preoperative staging, cancer recurrence is likely the result of microscopic extrahepatic disease. With a desperate donor organ shortage, locoregional ablation techniques and resection are being employed in patients on the waiting list to serve as a bridge to OLT. Further more, some have advocated aggressive surgical resection of isolated metastasis in both the liver and extrahepatic viscera. Whether these creative strategies confer a survival advantage is unknown, requiring longterm follow-up to determine their efficacy.

OBJECTIVETo research the mechanism of dopamine (DA) controlled memory in mice.
METHODSMice received i.p. injection of scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg, SCOP 0.3, and 3.0mg/kg, SCOP 3.0, respectively, n = 10) and saline (NS, n = 10) for 60 days in experiment 1. Memory of mice was detected by dark avoidance behavior in the 53" d and the 60"' d. Animals were sacrificed after the memory test; brain tissues were processed for Fos-ir and TH-ir by immunohistochemistry. Mice were divided into four groups according results of expri-ment 1, they received i.p. injection of apomorphine (0.1 mg/kg, APO 0.1, 0.5 mg/kg, APO 0.5, and 2.0 mg/kg, APO2.0 respectively, n = 10).
RESULTSMemory was inhibited in mice injected scopolamine 3.0 mg/kg. Latency was significantly less than in NS group, only 1/ 4 that of NS group (P > 0.05). The number of mistake of SCOP 3.0 group increased about four times than that of NS group (P > 0.05). But there was no difference of latency and number of mistake between SCOP 0.3 and NS group in expriment 1. Scopolamine-induced memory deficit was associated with decreased cellular activation, indicated by Fos immunoreactive (ir) staining, in NAcc CA1 and CA3 (P < 0.05), and also associated with decreases in the number of cells labeled for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH-ir), the rate limiting enzyme for dopamine conversion (P < 0.01) and the number of cells co-labeled for TH-ir/Fos-ir (P <0.01) in the ventral tegmental area(VTA), apomorphine lessened scopolamine-induced memory deficit in experiment 2. The number of cells co-labeled for TH-ir/Fos-ir (P <, 0.05) was increased in VTA after apomorphine treatment.
CONCLUSIONApomorphine lessened scopolamine-induced memory deficit in mice by increasing DA activities in VTA.

Objective To explore the influence of self-management education on quality of life of patients with deep vein thrombosis. Methods 60 cases of deep vein thrombosis patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 30 cases in each group, two groups basically received the same medication treatment, the control group held conventional health education, The experimental group implemented self-management education.Life quality was compared before education and 3 months after education was compared between the two groups. Results Before self-management education, the scores of quality of life of the two groups showed no difference; after three months of selfmanagement education, the score of body's function, psychological function, social function and total score of quality of life were obviouly different.However, there were no significant differences in material life. Conclusions Self-management education can improve the quality of life of patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia among physical examination populations at ages of 35 to 75 years in Karamay City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into the management of chronic disease control.
Methods:
Residents receiving physical examinations at ages of 35 to 75 years were sampled from 9 communities in Karamay City using the cluster random sampling method. Demographic features and health-related behaviors were collected using questionnaires, and the height, weight, blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose and blood lipid levels were measured. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia was descriptively analyzed, and their risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results:
A total of 32 556 subjects were sampled, including 12 354 males ( 37.95% ) and 20 202 females ( 62.05% ), with a mean age of ( 56.63±12.78 ) years. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia was 31.72%, 12.18% and 28.69%, and the common comorbidity was dyslipidemia with hypertension ( 2 483 cases, 7.63% ). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified men ( OR=1.362, 1.823 and 1.130 ), ages of ≥40 years ( OR=3.327-14.019, 2.870-15.337 and 1.530-2.092 ), a family history of chronic diseases ( OR=1.147, 1.249 and 1.200 ), smoking ( OR=1.111, 1.464 and 1.248 ), meat-based diet ( OR=2.081, 2.266 and 1.110 ), vegetable-based diet ( OR=0.479, 0.353 and 0.634 ), underweight ( OR=0.504, 0.298 and 0.546 ), overweight ( OR=1.872, 1.565 and 1.289 ) and obesity ( OR=2.840, 2.177 and 1.230 ) as common influencing factors for hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia.
Conclusions
The prevalence of hypertension is high among physical examination populations at ages of 35 to 75 years in Karamay City. Gender, age, a family history of chronic diseases, smoking, diet habits and body mass index are common factors affecting hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Objective:
To construct a prediction model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide basis for early screening and prevention of T2DM complicated with NAFLD.
Methods:
Patients aged 45 years and above and diagnosed with T2DM in Karamay Hospital of People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2021 were collected as the study subjects. The data of general demographic characteristics and biochemical test results were collected. The patients were randomly divided into training group (n=3 241) and validation group (n=1 389) according to the ratio of 7∶3. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression model were used to select predictive factors. The nomograph model for prediction of NAFLD risk in T2DM patients was established. The predictive value of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC), adjusted curve and decision clinical analysis.
Results:
Totally 4 630 T2DM cases were included, including 1 279 cases (27.62%) complicated with NAFLD. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender, age, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, alanine transaminase, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and platelet count as risk prediction factors for NAFLD in T2DM patients. The area under the ROC curve was 0.823 (95%CI: 0.814-0.832) for the training group and 0.809 (95%CI: 0.799-0.818) for the validation group, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good fitting effect (P>0.05). Decision curve analysis showed higher net clinical benefit of using the predictive model to predict NAFLD risk when the risk threshold probability was 0.27 to 0.85.
Conclusion
The nomogram model established has a good predictive value for the risk of NAFLD in T2DM patients aged 45 years and above.
