Objective: This multi-group case control study was performed to determine whether Helicobacter pylori infection was associated with gastric cancer and stomach diseases. Methods: Gastric cancer and stomach disease patients that were diagnosed pathologically between 1994 and 1996 years were divided into several case groups and control group, all histological specimens collected in gastric cancer high risk region of Shandong Province were used to measure exposure history. Results: After variables concerning age, sex and education were adjusted, odds ratios of chronic superficial gastritis in antrum, peptic ulcer disease and active degree of inflammation associated with H. pylori infection remained significant (OR was 2.072, 2.980, 2.086 respectively). Correlation analyses showed negative relationship between degree of stomach diseases and H. pylori infection(r=-0.217). Conclusion: The results support the hypothesis of a relationship between H. pylori infection and the development of chronic superficial gastritis in antrum, peptic ulcer disease and active degree of inflammation.

Objective To observe the effects of Huoxue Chubi Decoction on contents of PDGF-A and TGF-βin skin lesion of scleroderma mimicking mice models;To discuss its possible mechanism. Methods Thirty mice were randomly assigned into blank group, model group, TCM high-, medium-, low-dose group, with six mice in each group. Other than blank group, the rest of the 4 groups were given bleomycin-hydrocholoride 0.1 mL intradermal injection daily for 3 weeks to establish scleroderma mice models. From week 4 to 7, blank group and model group received gavage with equal amount of distilled water daily;TCM high-, medium-, low dosage group received gavage with Huoxue Chubi Decoction with different concentrations of 44.8, 22.4, 11.2 g/kg daily. The pathological changes in the skin tissue samples taken from each group were observed under microscope;the thickness of skin from each group was measured and the expression of PDGF-A, TGF-β, type-Ⅰ collagen (COL-Ⅰ) and type-Ⅲ collagen (COL-Ⅲ) were tested through immunohistochemical staining. Results Compare with blank group, the dermis tissue of model group was thicker, with the presence of thicker and greater number of collagen fibers, as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells. Compare with model group, thickness of skin and dermis collagen growth of TCM high-, medium-, low-dose group were milder varied by the concentration of the decoction. The result of immunohistochemical staining showed that the expressions of PDGF-A, TGF-β, COL-Ⅰ and COL-Ⅲ of modelgroup significantly increased than blank group (P<0.01); the expression of the mentioned indicators were statistically significant lower in the TCM high-, medium-, low-dose group than model group; The expressions of PDGF-A and TGF-β showed a positive correlation with the amount of COL-Ⅰ and COL-Ⅲpresented in each group. Conclusion Huoxue Chubi Decoction can suppress collagen expression and fibroblast formation in skin lesion of scleroderma mice models by down regulating the expressions of TGF-β and PDGF-A, thus demonstrate its potential in scleroderma treatment.

Objective To investigate the possible role of X-box binding protein (XBP1) expression at mRNA level in the hepatocarcinogenesis. Methods The expression of XBP1 at mRNA level was determined with RT-PCR method in liver carcinoma (42 cases), liver tissue adjacent to carcinoma (15 cases) and normal liver tissue (15 cases). XBP1 mRNA relative expression level was obtained by comparing with GAPDH mRNA level. The correlation between XBP1 expression and clinicopathological features of liver carcinoma were respectively analyzed. Results RT-PCR results showed that the expression of XBP1 mRNA in liver carcinoma cases (0.4396 ±0.0241) was significantly higher that that of liver tissues adjacent to carcinoma (0.4152±0.0252) and normal liver tissue (0.4095 ±0.0149), (F =12.79,P =0.001). No significant differences in the expression of XBP1 were found among different age and sex of the patients, different location, histological types, grade and metastatic status in liver carcinoma (P >0.05). Conclusion Increased expression of XBP1 mRNA is found in liver carcinoma but no correlation could be seen between XBP1 expression and clinicopathological features, which XBP1 is involved in the hepatocarcinogenesis.

Objective To explore the correlation between hypoglycemia and the increased mortality of patients with acute decompensated liver cirrhosis.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients with acute decompensated liver cirrhosis admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2011 to December 2014. The patients were divided into three groups: hypoglycemia group (glucose < 5.0 mmol/L, 21 cases), normoglycemia group (glucose 5.1 - 10.0 mmol/L, 84 cases), and hyperglycemia group (glucose > 10.0 mmol/L, 15 cases). The differences in hepatic carcinoma, decompensation symptoms, the incidence of known glycometabolic disorder, hospitalization situation, indicators of liver function and indexes of blood gas analysis were compared among three groups. The patients' age, hepatic carcinoma, ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, encephalopathy, bleeding, jaundice and glycometabolic disorder, etc were analyzed by the univariate analysis. The resulting risk factors with statistically significant differences were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression method in order to screen out the risk factors of increased mortality.Results The incidences of hepatorenal syndrome [42.9% (9/21) vs. 22.6% (19/84), 33.3% (5/15)] and jaundice [38.1% (7/21) vs. 20.2% (17/84), 13.3% (2/15)], rate of admission into intensive care unit (ICU) [14.3% (3/21) vs. 10.7% (9/84), 13.3% (2/15)] and in-hospital mortality [23.8% (5/21) vs. 10.7% (9/84), 20.0% (3/15)] in the hypoglycemia group were significantly higher than those in the normoglycemia group and hyperglycemia group (P < 0.05 orP < 0.01). The levels of aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), serum creatinine (SCr) and international normalized ratio (INR) in hypoglycemia group were obviously higher than those in normoglycemia group and hyperglycemia group [AST (U/L): 628.412±78.625 vs. 170.167±87.035, 156.716±98.047; TBil (μmol/L): 154.122±34.201 vs. 86.712±48.905, 74.313±39.883; SCr (μmol/L): 160.243±56.341 vs. 107.211±59.692, 121.342±84.059; INR: 1.951±0.987 vs. 1.439±0.919, 1.423±0.653,P < 0.05 orP < 0.01]. The levels of HCO3- and base excess (BE) in hypoglycemia group were signicantly lower than those of normoglycemia group and hyperglycemia group [HCO3- (mmol/L): 18.154±10.937 vs. 23.135±11.119, 19.081±12.022; BE (mmol/L): -7.578±2.042 vs. -1.648±0.887, -5.402±2.005, allP < 0.01]. The pH value among three groups showed significant difference (7.352±2.878, 7.461±2.036, 7.219±2.017,P < 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in alanine transaminase (ALT), blood ammonium, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and lactate among the three groups (all P > 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that advanced age, hepatic carcinoma, hepatorenal syndrome, bleeding, jaundice and glycometabolic disorder hypoglycemia were the risk factors of the death in patients with acute decompensated liver cirrhosis (P < 0.05 orP < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age [odds ratio (OR) = 2.101, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.297 - 3.403,P = 0.000], hepatorenal syndrome (OR = 3.032, 95%CI = 1.462 - 6.286,P = 0.000) and hypoglycemia (OR = 3.267, 95%CI = 2.135 - 4.999,P = 0.031) were the independent risk factors of the patients' death.Conclusion Hypoglycemia has certain correlation to the increase of mortality in patients with acute decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Objective:
To analyze the mid-term clinical efficacy of extended to C1, 2 posterior single-door laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament combined the upper cervical spine.
Methods:
From February 2013 to December 2015, 32 patients with cervical OPLL who were extended to C1, 2 posterior open-door laminoplasty were enrolled in our hospital (complete follow-up of 25 patients). There were 19 males and 6 females, aged 48-76 years (mean 60.1±7.0 years). Cervical spinal cord function was assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) spinal cord function score, and the rate of improvement in neurological function was calculated. The quality of life of patients was assessed using the neck disability index (NDI). Axial symptoms were assessed and indexed using the visual analog scale (VAS). The C0-2 angle of the cervical spine was measured by X-ray preoperative and at the last follow-up. The cervical curvature was evaluated by the C2-7 angle, and the cervical vertebra activity was observed by the dynamic X-ray of the cervical spine.
Results:
25 patients were followed up for a period of 26-64 months (mean 35.9±8.1 months). At the last follow-up, the JOA score was 14.32±3.24, the NDI score was 7.61±1.23, and the VAS score was 1.42±0.78. The differences between the three scores were statistically significant compared with the preoperative scores. The neurological improvement rate at the last follow-up was 79.61%±13.23%. The preoperative C0-2 angle was 26.04°±6.28°, and the last follow-up was 24.92°±5.51°; the C2-7 angle was 19.55°±9.42° before surgery, and the C2-7 angle at last follow-up was 17.97°±8.80°. The C2-7 angle at last follow-up was slightly reduced compared with that preoperative, but the difference was not statistically significant. The preoperative cervical vertebra ROM was 35.31°±12.24°, and at the last follow-up it was 32.23°±9.65°. The ROM of cervical vertebrae at the last follow-up was slightly lower than that before surgery, but the difference was not statistically significant. Among them, the reduction of the ROM of overflexion was greater than that of the over-extension, which was the main reason for the decrease of ROM. The OPLL bone mass continued to grow at the last follow-up of 11 patients.
Conclusion
The extended to C1, 2 posterior single-door laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament combined the upper cervical spine can achieve adequate spinal cord decompression, satisfactory neurological improvement, and improve the postoperative cervical curvature and activity. There was no obvious change in the curvature and activity of the cervical spine, and the axial symptoms did not increase significantly, and the clinical efficacy was positive.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the dynamic changes in angiogenesis within the tumor tissue of mice bearing S180 tumor at different day-points of oral administration with a Chinese medicine compound "Yiliuyin" (YLY) and to explore the anti-tumor mechanisms of YLY in vivo.
METHODFifty-six BALB/c mice were divided into YLY group and control group (28 mice/group) and each group was divided into four subgroups (7 mice/subgroup), randomly. After 24 hrs of inoculation with S180 tumor cells subcutaneously in the right axilla, YLY in the mice of YLY group and equal volume of cold boiled-water in the mice of control group were administered orally twice every day, 0.5 mL each time. The mice of one subgroup from the two groups apiece were killed at 10, 20, 30 th and 40 th day-point of oral administration, respectively. The tumors were isolated and were made into paraffin embedded sections. The dynamic changes of the angiogenesis (CD34 staining), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) and endostatin (ES) in tumor tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, and the results were shown as PED (positive enzyme dot).
RESULTYLY could remarkably decrease the angiogenesis within tumor tissues. The PED of CD34 in control group at 10, 20, 30 th and 40 th day-point was 392.86+/-42.01, 481.49+/-58.34, 386.31+/-54.91 and 376.69+/-28.71, and that in YLY group was 334.46+/-33.38, 289.34+/-39.63, 257.09+/-40.00 and 246.57+/-36.78, respectively. The PED of CD34 in YLY group at each day-point was lower than that in control group (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.01 and P<0.01, respectively). The PED of VEGF in control group at 10, 20, 30 th and 40 th day-point was 852.63+/-81.65, 1168.40+/-96.69, 1292.60+/-147.54 and 1124.74+/-139.64, and that inYLY group was 718.40+/-94.94, 866.54+/-72.40, 859.31+/-74.02 and 753.34+/-72.95, respectively. The PED of VEGF in YLY group at each day-point was lower than that in control group (P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.01 and P <0.01, respectively). The PED of VEGFR-2 in control group at 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th day-point was 618.63+/-59.08, 750.09+/-56.72, 684.91+/-72.86 and 644.06+/-60.25, and that in YLY group was 523.91+/-64.66, 449.03+/-46.85, 400.06+/-60.12 and 339.89+/-45.39, respectively. The PED of VEGFR-2 in YLY group at each day-point was lower than that in control group (P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.01 and P <0.01, respectively). The PED of ES in control group at 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th day-point was 250.26+/-36.27, 298.60+/-44.41, 450.86+/-38.95 and 398.43+/-34.19, and that in YLY group was 249.57+/-40.23, 350.03+/-40.92, 499.40+/-40.29 and 497.94+/-42.76, respectively. There was no difference between the two groups at 10th day-point.The PED of ES in YLY group was higher than that in control group at 20, 30, 40 th day-point (P <0.05, P <0.01 and P <0.01, respectively) .
CONCLUSIONYLY could exert the anti- tumor role by down-regulating the expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2, up-regulating the expression of ES and inhibiting the angiogenesis within tumor tissue.

Objective:To summarize the technical points of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) carried out in a single center.Methods:The clinical data of 102 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in 2018 at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, and the general conditions, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and surgical operation were analyzed. Post-operative complications, hospital stay and other indicators were studied.Results:Of the 102 patients who were included, there were 57 males and 45 females, aged 15.0 to 79.0 (59.9±11.8) years old, with a body mass index (23.6±3.6) kg/m 2. For the 102 patients who underwent LPD, 6 were total pancreatic resection. Three were combined with vascular resection in the form of portal vein-superior mesentery vein segmental resection. The operation time was (376.6±87.2) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 350 (100, 800) ml, and the postoperative hospital stay was (17.0±5.9) days. Postoperative complications occurred in 26 of the 102 patients (25.5%), and more than two complications occurred in 17 patients. B/C grade pancreatic fistula occurred in 9 patients (9.4%), abdominal bleeding in 8 patients (7.8%), gastrointestinal bleeding in 2 patients (2.0%), biliary fistula in 4 patients (3.9%), and gastric emptying disorder in 5 patients (4.9%), 8 patients had pulmonary infection (7.8%). Five patients (4.9%) died during the perioperative period. Conclusion:The main technical points of LPD included en bloc resection, pancreaticojejunostomy, and vascular reconstruction. The basis of LPD is en bloc resection. Combined resection and reconstruction of vascular segments is a sign of maturity of LPD technology and a prerequisite for further development as a routine procedure.
