Objective To explore the value of combined determination of serum hepatic fibrosis index for evaluation on the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B(HBV).Methods 275 patients with HBV were selected as chronic hepatitis group,which were divided into the mild chronic hepatitis group(75 cases),chronic moderate hepatitis group (72 cases),chronic severe hepatitis group (65 cases),liver cirrhosis group (63 cases) according to the severity of disease.In addition,50 healthy population were selected as the healthy control group.The four liver fibrosis indicators included serum hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin (LN),collagen type Ⅲ (PC Ⅲ),type IV collagen(IV-C) were determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay and compared among the groups,and the diagnostic results of combined different indicators were compared.Results The indexes of HA,PC Ⅲ,IV-C,LN were significantly higher than those of the healthy control group (t =2.567,2.687,2.811,2.741,all P ＜ 0.01).The hepatic fibrosis indexes were increased by with the severity and duration increased gradually (t =2.665,2.787,2.755,2.811,all P ＜ 0.01).The concentration-time curves area (AUC) of PC Ⅲ,Ⅳ-C,LN,HA were 0.680,0.825,0.716,0.826,respectively.Diagnosis value of three combination indicators in HA + PC Ⅲl + Ⅳ-C was highest.Conclusion The chemiluminescence dynamic detection of four liver fibrosis indicators is a good non-invasive detection method for guiding clinical diagnosis on the degree of liver fibrosis.

Autophagy, a cellular housekeeping process, is indispensable to controlling the homeostasis of cytoplasm by removing unused proteins and damaged cell organelles. This process involves different types of human diseases, including cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and infectious diseases. Neurodegeneration is a critical pathological process of many eye diseases, such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. The retina and all intraocular cells are constantly exposed to environmental stress and injuries, including oxidative stress and starvation, which lead to autophagy. Autophagy promotes cell survival through the recycling of metabolic precursors, or promotes cell death if autophagy is over-active. Additionally, autophagy and apoptosis have been shown to be harmonious or contrasting, depending on different experimental contexts. All of this contributes to the pathogenesis of many diseases. This paper reviews the mechanisms and regulation involved in autophagy, current understandings of neuronal autophagy in glaucoma and retina and strategies for therapeutic modulation.

Objective To study the clinical application of laparoscopic operation and the morbidity and their prevention. Methods 21069 cases of laparoscopic surgery were reviewed retrospectively. Results Laparoscopic operation was used in 19 conditions including cholecystectomy (21002),hepatic operation (21), common bile duct calculi (3), spleen trauma (1),kidney cyst (3),gynoplasty (16),chest surgery (2), intestinal adhesion (14),assistant Miles (3),appendectomy (2),mesentery teratoma (1).Major complications (60) (0.29%) included injury of choleduct (18), bile leakage (18),hemorrhage (17),the injury of gastrointestinal tract (7). Conclusions Laparoscopic operation may be in a more extensive seope. The major complications can be reduced by strict procedures of laparoscopic operation.

Objective To measure the leakage rate in the process of expansion in vivo and in normal saline and the over-expansion property of the expander.Methods We chose 17 cases that were treated with the skin expansion.We recorded total injected saline volume intentionally in these cases before the second surgery,and recorded the remainder of the volume of saline postoperatively.We injected normal saline into 8 expanders,respectively,exceeding 50％ of the volume-rating;and subsequently put these expanders into plastic bucket filled with saline.30 days after,we measured the remaining volume of the normal saline.We injected 100 ml normal saline into 4 expanders,respectively,of which nominal volume was 100 ml,and then left these expanders in saline and measured the remainder volume of the saline 30 days later.In the second time,we injected 150 ml and repeated the abovementioned process.It was repeated 7 times until the injection volume reached 400 ml.We processed the data and depicted a curve of effective expansion.Results The results showed that the leakage rate reached (29.0+12.5) ％ in vivo.Experiments in vitro confirmed that 85.0％ (8.0/9.4) of the saline leaked through the injection port and 14.8％ (1.4/9.4) leaked through the membrane of the expander.In addition,over-expansion performance index test confirmed that the over-expansion property of an expander was about twice the nominal volume.Conclusions The expander is not completely sealed structure.Normal saline can leak through the injection part and the membrane of the expander.The over-expansion property of an expander is limited.When the volume injected into the expander exceeds a certain value,the effective expansion performance is not increased with it.

AIM: To investigate the ratio of apoptotic index and proliferative index (AI/PI) in gastric cancer and their association with survival. METHODS: The apoptotic population and the proliferative population were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry. The proliferative cells were identified by confocal microscope and Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival. RESULTS: AI and PI were strongly correlated with a Pearson coefficient of 0.58 (P

50%) or cultured with low concentration of serum,these cells tended to fuse to form myotubes,and were skeletal myosin~+.CONCLUSION: Preplate technique can effectively isolate MDSCs,this provides tissue engineering with a new type of seed cells.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of rheumatoid factor (RF) in primary SjSgren's syndrome (pSS).Methods The clinical and laboratory data of 141 cases of hospitalized pSS patients from Wannan Medical College Affiliated Yijishan Hospital from 2006 to 2012 were analyzed retrospectively,and the clinical significance of RF was also analyzed.The data were analyzed using t-test and ~ test respectively.Results The positive rate of RF in pSS was 49％ (63/128),the rate of low-titer positive RF was 32％ (20/63),and the high-titer positive RF was 68％ (43/63).Patients with high-titer positive RF were more prone to suffer from parotidomegaly,arthritis and hematological system involvement.In terms of the results of laboratory examination,the following were more frequent,including positive anti-SSA antibody,the elevated IgG level,the decrease of platelet,the increase of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and the increase of total globulin level.For the respect of clinical performance and laboratory examination between patients with low-titer positive RF and negative RF,no difference was found statistically.Conclusion pSS patients with high-titer positive RF are prone to have extraglandular organ involvement,and acute-phase reactants and antibody levels are relatively high.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of naftopidil on patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension. Methods: A prospective, open study was performed in patients with hyp ertension. Forty patients were administered naftopidil for 8 weeks. Results:BP decreased significantly 2 weeks after administration an d reached to its trough at week 4. The magnitudes were 2.28 kPa (17.1 mmHg) and 1.43 kPa (10.7 mmHg) for SBP and DBP, respectively. The effect lasted to the end of experiment. HR had no change.The total effective rate was 82.05%.There was n o significant change in liver and renal function and electrocardiograph. Conclusion: Naftopidil has a stable hypotensive effect and the complia nce is good.

Objective To study the concurrence of congenital ptosis and hypospadias and the relationship between the two. Methods The incidence rate and degree of ptosis were recorded for 254 cases of hypospadias. Results The morbidity of ptosis in hypospadias cases was 4.72％.The posterior hypospadias group had a higher ptosis rate than the anterior and middle hypospadias groups,P ＜ 0.05. While there was no statistical difference of severe ptosis morbidity rates between these two groups. Conclusions Congenital ptosis is a common concurrent anomaly of hypospadias outside the urogenital system.The severity of hypospadias is relevant with the morbidity of ptosis but not with the degree of ptosis.Hypospadias and ptosis may share common pathogenic or susceptive factors.

Objective To investigate the effect of tissue expansion in facial congenital giant nevus.Methods From October 2014 to October 2016,7 cases of facial congenital giant nevus patients were treated with expanded skin flaps,including single expansion and secondary expansion.Partial excision and skin tissue expansion were used to drastically remove giant pigmented nevi on body or extremities of infants.There were some points for attention during the surgery:the size and location of the partial excision and expander should be designed reasonably;no tumor-manipulation and non-tension principle should be taken great notice,and expanders should be linked up with one another when several expanders were used at the same time,so as to reduce the possibility of forming the envelop,which was favorable for the second surgery of transfer of a skin flap.Results All cases of giant pigmented nevi excision were on the face,which were completely removed from the patients.The areas of the nevi were from 7 cm × 5 cm to 15 cm × 13 cm.All patients were followed up for 3-12 months (mean 6 months).All flaps survived well.Expander exposure was happened in 2 cases with no bad results.One case of scar received late repair due to surgical scars and all got satisfactory results.Conclusions Tissue expansion is an ideal method in the treatment of facial congenital giant nevus.
