Objective To explore histopathological features of the atypical hyperplastie thyroid epithelial cells (TEC) in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), and to investigate its association with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods Thirty cases of HT with atypical hyperplastie TEC and 50 cases of PTC were selected from archives, the comparatively normal follicles around thyroid adenoma and in HT served as eontroi group. The morphological changes in HT were observed and the expressions of CK19. PCNA, Bcl-2 were detected by Max-Vision immunohistochemistry techniques. The results were analyzed by Chi-square test. Results The atypical hyperplastic TEC in HT showed some PTC-like features such as crowded cells, nucleus enlargement and ground glass appearance in the nucleus. As compared to the control, CKI9, PCNA and Bcl-2 were positively expressed in both atypical hyperplastic TEC in HT and PTC cells (P<0.05). Conclusion The atypical hyperplastic TEC in HT showed some morphological and immunological features of PTC, with the PTC specific marker CK19 expression,suggesting that the atypical hyperplastic TEC in HT may link HT with PTC, leading to malignant transformation,which should be closely watched.

Objective: To build up rabbit models of hepatic cirrhosis in through common bile duct partial ligation (CBDPL). Methods: Male New Zealand rabbits were subjected to CBDPL to induce hepatic cirrhosis. The liver biopsies were performed during the surgery and after sacrifice to evaluate hepatic fibrosis. The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) were determined at week 0, 1, 2, 4 and 11 following the occlusion. Results: There were two kinds of morphological and histological manifestations after CBDPL, the one was inconspicuous hepatic fibrosis coexisted with sacculation-like bile ductal dilation and muddy stone; the other is remarkable hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis along with uneven bile ductal dilation. The serum levels of ALT, AST, TBIL and DBIL were significantly higher after one week of operation. The levels of ALT, AST, TP and ALB decreased after two-week of operation, and the levels of TBIL and DBIL were returned to the normal level after two-week of operation. Conclusion: The animal models of hepatic cirrhosis can be built up through CBDPL in rabbits.

Objective:To analyze the changes of cerebral perfusion level and its relationship with cognitive impairment in patients with first anterior circulation acute ischemic post-stroke cognitive impairment.Methods:From March 2018 to March 2020, 70 patients with acute ischemic stroke in the first anterior circulation who were treated in the Department of Neurology of Kailuan General Hospital affiliated to North China University of Technology and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed.The mini-mental state examination was used to divide 36 cases of post-stroke cognitive impairment group and 34 cases of post-stroke cognitive impairment group.All the selected patients were examined by computed tomography(CT) and diffusion-weighted MR imaging(MRI-DWI) to determine the diagnosis and distribution of lesions; detection of cerebral artery stenosis by MRA; apply 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling(3D-pCASL) perfusion imaging, set the post label delay 1.5 s and 2.5 s to detect cerebral perfusion level.Results:(1)There was no statistical significance between the two groups in the comparison of basic clinical data.(all P>0.05). (2) The proportion of patients with middle cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery and internal carotid artery ≥1 or ≥2 moderate and severe stenosis / occlusion on the focal side in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (91.67%(33/36), 33.33%(12/36)) was higher than that in the post-stroke non-cognitive impairment group (23.53%(8/34), 8.82%(3/34)); the proportion of patients with moderate and severe stenosis / occlusion of MCA and ICA on the focal side in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (69.44%(25/36), 44.44%(16/36)) was higher than that in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (14.71%(5/34), 11.76%(4/34)), and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2 values were 33.455, 6.239, 21.394, 9.150, all P<0.05). (3) The proportion of patients with ≥ 2 cerebral infarction lesions in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (61.1%(22/36))was higher than that in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (38.03%(27/71))than that in the non-stroke group (20.6%(7/34), 19.05%(8/42)), and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=11.833, 4.447, all P<0.05). PLD 2.5 s, the CBF value of frontal lobe infarction in post-stroke cognitive impairment group((31.516±8.333) mL/(100 g·min)) was lower than that in post-stroke non-cognitive impairment group((45.442±8.281) mL/(100 g·min)), the difference was statistically significant( t=3.835, P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the CBF value of PLD 2.5 s frontal infarction lesion was positively correlated with MMSE score( r=0.738, P<0.05). (4) The proportion of patients with ≥ 1 or ≥ 2 hypoperfusion areas (frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe) on the focal side of PLD 1.5 s and 2.5 s after stroke (88.89%(32/36), 88.89%(32/36), 77.78%(28/36), 66.67%(24/36)) were higher than those without cognitive impairment after stroke (67.65%(23/34), 8.82%(3/34), 29.41%(10/34), 0), the difference was statistically significant(χ 2 values were 4.686, 44.837, 16.483, 34.493, all P<0.05). At PLD 1.5 s, CBF values of frontal lobe and parietal lobe in cerebral hypoperfusion area ((20.260±5.266) mL/(100 g·min), (17.664±3.947) mL/(100 g·min)) in patients with cognitive impairment after stroke were lower than those in patients without cognitive impairment ((33.442±10.563) mL/(100 g·min), (28.071±6.913) mL/(100 g·min)), the difference was statistically significant( t values were 3.392, 6.225, all P<0.05), at PLD 2.5 s, the CBF value after compensatory perfusion of frontal lobe, parietal lobe and temporal lobe in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group ((37.732±8.355) mL/(100 g·min), (32.942±6.459) mL/(100 g·min), (39.282±7.443) mL/(100 g·min)) was lower than that in the non cognitive impairment Group ((57.189±9.965) mL/(100 g·min), (52.415±7.017) mL/(100 g·min), (49.258±8.912) mL/(100 g·min)), the difference was statistically significant( t values were 5.443, 10.227, 2.950, all P<0.05). Correlation analysis found that the CBF value of the frontal lobe and parietal lobe of the PLD 1.5 s lesion area and the CBF value of the PLD 2.5 s hypoperfusion brain area after the perfusion of the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe were positively correlated with the MMSE score( r values were 0.693, 0.675, 0.823, 0.799, 0.545, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with first anterior circulation acute ischemic post-stroke cognitive impairment often have extensive hypoperfusion in the peripheral cerebral region, the occurrence of cognitive impairment after the first anterior circulation acute ischemic post-stroke cognitive impairment is related to the decrease of the perfusion level of the infarct lesion and the brain area around the lesion.
