Objective To develop a classification of gallbladder stones,to analyze the clinical characteristics of each type of stone and to provide a theoretical basis for the formation of different types of gallbladder stones.Method 925 consecutive patients with gallbladder stones were enrolled and their gallstones were studied.The material composition of the gallbladder stones was analyzed using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the distribution and microstructure of the material components were observed using scanning electron microscopy.The composition and distribution of the elements were analyzed by an X-ray energy spectrometer.Gallbladder stones were classified accordingly.Results The gallbladder stones were classified into 8 types and more than ten subtypes,including cholesterol stones (n =334),pigment stones (n =246),calcium carbonate stones (n =167),phosphate stones (n =14),calcium stearate stones (n =11),protein stones (n =3),cystine stones (n =1) and mixed stones (n =149).Mixed stones were those stones with two or more than two kinds of material components and the content of each component was similar.A total of 11 subtypes of mixed stones were found in this study.Conclusion The systematic classification of gallbladder stones indicated that different types of stones had different characteristics in terms of infrared spectrogram,microstructure,elemental composition and distribution,thus providing an important basis for the mechanistic study of gallbladder stones.

Objective To study the relationship between Clonorchis sinensis infestation and different types of gallbladder stones.Methods From May 2011 to September 2014, 1 052 cases of gallbladder stones were collected from the Department of General Surgery at The Sixth People's Hospital of Nansha, Guangzhou.These stones were first grinded for microscopic examination and divided into two groups based on the results of detection of Clonorchis sinensis eggs.They were then analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy to identify the type of gallbladder stones.Some stones were also chosen randomly for observation under scanning electron microscope (SEM).Results Clonorchis sinensis eggs were found in 300 stones and among these, the number and proportion of cholesterol, bile pigment, calcium carbonate, mixed and other types of stones were 28 (9.3％), 102 (34.0％), 102 (34.0％), 50 (16.7％), and 18 (6.0％), respectively.In the 752 egg-negative stones, the number and proportion of the above five types of stones were 414 (55.1％), 132 (17.6％), 66 (8.8％), 94 (12.5％), and 46 (6.1％), respectively.Observation under SEM showed a lot of tiny particles were absorbed on the mesh of the superficial texture of the Clonorchis sinensis eggs, which were also adherent to the bilirubin particles, calcium stearate crystals, phosphate, calcium stearate and protein particles.Conclusions The main types of egg-positive stones were bile pigment and calcium carbonate stones, while cholesterol stone was the main type of egg-negative stones.Clonorchis sinensis infestation was associated mainly with bile pigment and calcium carbonate stones.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the application effect of phased intensive medication education (PIME) on patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). MethodsBy convenience sampling method, 60 patients who underwent PCI for the first time in Department of Cardiology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from October 2017 to February 2018 were selected and randomly divided into experimental group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The experimental group was educated by PIME, while the control group received conventional medication education. The patients were followed up after discharge. Seven indicators, including medication literacy, medication compliance and exercise tolerance and so on were collected and compared. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the scores of medication literacy between the two groups before intervention (P＞ 0.05). On the day of discharge, 1 month and 3 months after discharge, the scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.01). There was no significant difference in the scores of compliance between the two groups before intervention (P＞0.05). At 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after discharge, the scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group with statistical differences (P＜0.01). There was no significant difference in exercise tolerance between the two groups before intervention, at discharge and 1 month after discharge (P＞0.05). The experimental group was higher than the control group at 3 months after discharge with a statistical difference (P＜0.01). The decrease of heart rate and systolic blood pressure in the experimental group was greater than that in the control group (P＜ 0.05). One month after discharge, the incidence of adverse medication reactions in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions PIME can effectively improve patients' medication literacy, medication adherence, safety and effectiveness, which is worthy of promotion.
