Objective To investigate the expression and significance of cellular inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A), bcl-2 and p63 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods Using immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 in 30 cases of nodular goiter (NG), 30 cases of thyroid adenoma (TA) and 57 cases of PTC [including classical PTC (cPTC) 20 cases, papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) 20 cases, follicular thyroid papillary carcinoma (FPTC) 7 cases]. Results In NG group, TA group and PTC group, positive rates of CIP2A were 0, 0 and 94.74 % (54/57), respectively. The differences were statistically significant. In NG group, TA group and PTC group, positive rates of bcl-2 were 16.67 % (5/30), 13.33 % (4/30) and 85.96 % (49/57), respectively. The differences were statistically significant. In each group, positive rates of p63 were 6.67% (2/30), 3.33% (1/30) and 5.26% (3/57), respectively, no significant difference among them. In PTC, expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 were significantly higher than in NG and TA (χ2 = 105.56, P= 0.00; χ2 = 58.95, P= 0.00). Furthermore, the expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 had correlation in PTC (r=0.94, P=0.00). The expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 had no significantly difference among all the PTC subtype (χ2 values were 2.02, 2.64, 1.85; all P> 0.05). The expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 was not associated with patients'age, sex, site, lymph node metastasis (all P>0.05). Conclusions High expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 is associated with PTC, and the expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 has correlation in PTC. The expression of p63 has no correlation with PTC.

Objective:To explore the MRI features of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 12 patients with CAA-ri diagnosed in Affiliated Guizhou Aviation Industry Cor Ltd No 300 Hospital of Zunyi Medical University (9 cases), Xingyi People′s Hospital (2 cases) and Anshun people′s Hospital (1 case) from June 2013 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 3 females and 9 males, aged from 57 to 89 years old, with an average age of 71±10 years. The twelve patients included 5 cases with probable CAA-ri and 7 cases with possible CAA-ri. The duration of the disease ranged from 30 minutes to 2 years. One patient has ApoE ε4/ε4 gene overexpressed. All the 12 patients underwent MRI, including susceptibility weighted imaging in 12 cases, DWI in 10 cases, contrast enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) in 9 cases, MRS in 3 cases, MRA in 7 cases, and perfusion-weighted imaging in 1 case.Results:Imaging features of CAA-ri included encephalopathic, tumoral, classical cerebral amyloid angiopathy(CAA) manifestations. Twelve cases of encephalopathic manifestations showed patchy white matter hyperintensity (WMH) involving U-shaped fibers on T 2 weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence (FLAIR), usually asymmetric,with various degree of mass effect, no diffusion restriction on DWI and no enhancement on CE-MRI. One case showed a single tumoral lesion with irregular enhancement on CE-MRI. The classic CAA findings included hemorrhagic lesions (microhemorrhage in 8 cases, lobar hemorrhage in 6 cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage in 3 cases, iron deposition on the brain surface in 7 cases) and ischemic lesions (microinfarction in 1 case, enlarged perivascular space and interlobar space in 4 cases). Follow-up showed lesions absorption and/or new lesion formation in 5 cases. Conclusions:The MRI features of CAA-ri are mainly patchy WMH involving U-shaped fibers on T 2 FLAIR, usually asymmetric, with wandering and alternating features, and inconsistency with clinical manifestations.

AIM:To investigate the application of virtual reality(VR)technology in ocular trauma teaching for medical students.METHODS: A total of 90 medical students who participated in the Ophthalmology teaching program between November 2022 and April 2024 were recruited as subjects. Using a case-control method, 45 students in the case group attended traditional ocular trauma teaching program combined with VR virtual simulation experiments, and 45 students in the control group solely attended traditional ocular trauma teaching program. After the teaching practice, the two groups were compared in terms of their examination performance of theoretical knowledge and case analysis, learning ability(evaluated by the Self-Directed Learning Rating Scale), and the satisfaction survey on the quality of teaching; the statistical analyses were performed using t-test or Chi-square test.RESULTS: The scores of theoretical knowledge and case analysis examinations of the case group were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(scores of theoretical knowledge examination: 57.27±2.78 vs 53.91±3.20; scores of case analysis examination: 35.71±3.73 vs 32.67±5.52, both P<0.05). The scores of the Self-Directed Learning Rating Scale of the case group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05), and the satisfaction with teaching quality of the case group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: VR-enabled teaching of ocular trauma can effectively improve medical students' mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, enhance students' self-directed learning ability and improve teaching satisfaction.

ObjectiveThis article aims to investigate the association between hypertension and the risk of GSD by conducting a national multicenter study， a systematic review， and a meta-analysis. MethodsThe study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage， subjects were recruited for health examination in four hospitals in Chengdu， Tianjin， Beijing， and Chongqing， China， from 2015 to 2020， and the multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between hypertension and the risk of GSD in each center. In the second stage， Embase， PubMed， Wanfang Data， VIP， and CNKI databases were searched for related studies published up to May 2021， and a meta-analysis was conducted to further verify such association. In the third stage， the random effects model was used for pooled analysis of the results of the multicenter cross-sectional study and the findings of previous literature. ResultsA total of 633 948 participants were enrolled in the cross-sectional study， and the prevalence rate of GSD was 7.844%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension was positively associated with the risk of GSD（P<0.05）. Subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the association between hypertension and GSD between individuals with different sexes， ages， and subtypes of GSD. A total of 80 articles were included in the systematic review and the meta-analysis， and the results showed that the risk of GSD was increased by 1.022 times for every 10 mmHg increase in diastolic pressure and 1.014 times for every 10 mmHg increase in systolic pressure. ConclusionHypertension significantly increases the risk of GSD， and the findings of this study will provide a basis for the etiology of GSD and the identification of high-risk groups.
