BACKGROUND: It has vedfied that seaweed polysacchande-agarose modifiers have their medical application value. OBJECTIVE: To perform skin regeneration trials using sprayable activated agarose/gelatin solution, and to explore the possibility of egarose modifier as skin dressing for skin regeneration. METHODS: To prepare 3% sprayable mixture with the dissolved activated agarose and gelatin at a certain ratio, and then filtrated with millopore for sterilization to prepare activated agarose (egarose degradation for 8 hours) and gelatin degradation, and made into different ratios (1: 0, 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3). A total of four rabbits were obtained, and four sites were selected on the back of each rabbit, totally 16 experimental sites. The sprayable activated agarose/gelatin mixture (1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3) was directly sprayed on the four lesion sites. Sprayable activated agarose for two sites and simple gelatin for two sites served as controls. The effects of the wounds sprayed with,dressing were observed at 4 weeks following surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 7 days following surgery, the cover film had broken in mixture of activated agarose and gelatin at 1: 3, and remaining three were intact. No infection or inflammation occurred in wound of four ratios. Following comparison, the wound was rapidly healed in 1: 2 ratio dressing. The additional gelatin showed promoting effects on wound healing significantly. Hematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated that skin with the dressing was similar to autologous skin, which verified that sprayable activated agarose/gelatin have a premise in skin regeneration.

Objective To investigate the causes of repeated operations in patients with biliary diseases.Methods The clinical data of 265 patients who received repeated operations at the Jinshan Branch of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2005 to June 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The causes of repeated operations were analyzed. The first reoperation aimed at removing the calculi completely,repairing the injured biliary ducts and managing malignant tumors. The primary surgical procesures of the first reoperation included choledochotomy + T tube drainage,choledochotomy + Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy,endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography + endoscopic sphincterotomy,choledochotomy + hepatectomy + T tube drainage or Rouxen-Y choledochojejunostomy,choledochotomy + biliary-endo-drainage,end-to-end anastomosis of bile duct + T tube drainage,radical or palliative resection of tumor,endoscopic biliary stent drainage or exploratory laparotomy.The second and multiple reoperations aimed at reconstructing the passage for biliary drainage. All data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results A total of 69.8% (120/172) of patients who had recurrent or retained calculi received first reoperation,which was significantly higher than 31.2% ( 29/93 ) of those who received second or multiple reoperations (x2 =36.51,P < 0.05 ).A total of 58.1% (54/93) of patients who had benign stenosis of bilioenteric anastomosis received multiple reoperations,which was significantly higher than 4.1% (7/172) than those who received first reoperation (x2 = 99.32,P < 0.05 ).Of the 265 patients,46 had complications.The incidence of complications of patients who receive first reoperation was 10.5% ( 18/172),which was significantly lower than 30.1% (28/93) of patients who received second or multiple reoperations ( x2 =13.61,P < 0.05 ).Six patients died of hemorrhagic shock or multiple organ syndrome dysfunction postoperatively.The mortality rates for patients who received first reoperation and second or multiple reoperations were 1.7%(3/172) and 3.2% (3/93),respectively,with no significant difference ( x2 = 0.59,P > 0.05 ).Conclusions The causes for reoperation of biliary disease are muhifactorial.Full assessment of the status of biliary diseases and ample preperation preoperatively,careful operation and precise and rational selection of operative procedures are keys to decrease the reoperative rates and perioperative complications.

AIM: To investigate the changes of ultrastructure in early diabetic rat cornea and the pathogenesis of diabetic keratopathy. METHODS: 20 Sprague-Daxley rats were sacrificed 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks after induction of diabetes mellitus by streptoxotocin. 20 untreated rats at the same age were used as normal controls and were sacrificed at the same intervals. The ultrastructures of cornea were observed with transmission electronic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: During the experimental period, the corneal ultrustructure of diabetic rats showed that epithelial and endothelial cells were swollen, the mitochondrions in the cytoplasm were swollen and increased. The collagen fibers appeared in disarrangement 10 weeks after streptoxotocin treatment. The endothelial of cornea was damaged from the periphery to the center gradually. CONCLUSION: The ultrastructural changes of cornea leads to dysfunction in streptoxotocin-induced diabetic rats, which may be related to the abnormal metabolism in hyperglycemia condition.

Objective:
To investigate the factors affecting depression and anxiety symptoms among the elderly, so as to provide the basis for promoting mental health among the elderly.
Methods:
The elderly aged 60 years and above in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were recruited using the multistage stratified random sampling method from June to August 2022, and demographic information, lifestyle and self-rated health status were collected by questionnaires. The symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), respectively. The presence of depressive and anxiety symptoms was determined when both the PHQ-9 score and the GAD-7 score were 10 points and higher. Factors affecting depressive and anxiety symptoms were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 7 771 individuals were surveyed, including 3 490 males (44.91%) and 4 281 females (55.09%), and had a mean age of (72.11±6.79) years. The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms was 2.05%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified residence (urban area, OR=0.316, 95%CI: 0.201-0.498), sedentary duration (<3 h/d, OR=0.349, 95%CI: 0.232-0.525; 3-5 h/d, OR=0.458, 95%CI: 0.313-0.671), physical activity (≥3 times/week, OR=0.551, 95%CI: 0.373-0.815), sleep quality (poor, OR=2.491, 95%CI: 1.738-3.571), social isolation (OR=1.688, 95%CI: 1.148-2.481) and self-rated health (poor, OR=5.857, 95%CI: 3.547-9.671; normal, OR=1.903, 95%CI: 1.234-2.937) as the influencing factors for depression and anxiety symptoms among the elderly.
Conclusion
The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among the elderly is associated with residence, sedentary duration, sleep quality, physical activity, social interactions and self-rated health status.

In this paper, a kind of skin dressing, agarose- grafting- hyaluronic acid (Ag-g-HA) sponge was applied to test the modified agarose based scaffold for skin regeneration. The bFGF loading agarose-grafting hyaluronan scaffold had homogenous porosities, and the loaded bFGF was bioactive in 2 weeks. The Ag-g-HA sponge was applied into skin of mice, and it was found that the dressing promoted skin regeneration and no infection and leakage in lesion site took place. H&E staining results showed that the repaired skin was similar to autologous skin. These demonstrate that Ag-g-HA sponge has a promise in skin regeneration.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis, classification and treatment of pancreatic duct stones (PDS) .Methods:Clinical data and prognosis of 32 patients with PDS treated in our hospital from Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment methods were summarized.Results:All 32 cases were diagnosed with PDS by imaging examinations such as B ultrasonography, CT, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) . The diagnosis accuracy was 81.3% (26/32) for B-ultrasound, 86.2% (25/29) for CT, 90.4% (19/21) for MRCP, and 100% (8/8) for ERCP. According to the location of stones and intraoperative exploration, the 32 patients were divided into 3 groups: Type I, 17 patients, the stones were located in the main pancreatic duct; TypeⅡ, 11 patients, the stones were located in both main and branch pancreatic duct; Type Ⅲ, 4 patients, the stones were located in the branch pancreatic duct. Different treatment methods were employed according to the different types. No patient died in the perioperative period. 11 (34.3%) patients had postoperative complications. 3 (9.3%) patients had postoperative residual stones. 32 cases were followed up for a period of 6 to 60 months. The abdominal pain and steatorrhea disappeared or significantly improved postoperatively. 2 patients complicated with pancreatic cancer died 12 to 35 months after operation.Conclusions:The treatment and diagnosis of the PDS still remains complicated. Imaging examinations are the main methods for diagnosis of PDS. The accurate classification and individual treatment are important. Surgery is the most commonly used method for PDS.
