Objective To study the prognosis of patients with asymptomatic gallstones and explore prognostic factors.Methods The clinical data of 227 patients with asymptomatic gallstones in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from December 2013 to March 2016 were collected.All patients were followed with questionnaire,finally 192 cases were had been enrolled,of which 57 cases with clinical symptoms were symptom group and 135 cases with no clinical symptons were asymptomatic group.The prognostic factors were analyzed by un-ivariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant difference in the num-ber of stones,stone size,diabetes,high fat diet and body mass index between the two groups(P <0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple stones,stone diameter ≥1 cm,diabetes were the major risk factors for prognosis in asymptomatic gallstones.Conclusion Multiple gallbladder stones,stone diameter ≥1 cm,diabetes,high fat diet and obesity may be the major prognostic factors for patients with a-symptomatic gallstones.

Objective To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD,CD34) in inoculated hepatic alveolar echinococcsis gerbil model and explore the clinical significance.Methods Sixty healthy gerbils were randomly divided into model group,control group and sham operation group.Each gerbil in both model and control groups had liver vaccination with 0.1 ml immature alveolar echinococcus protoscolex suspension or 0.1 ml phosphate buffered saline by open abdominal surgery,respectively,and the sham operation group only had abdominal surgical procedures.Gerbils were put to death on the 120th day post operation,extracted the eyeball and drawn the blood.The alveolar hydatid tissue,surrounding and distal liver tissue were removed from the model group,and normal liver tissue was collected from the other two groups.The VEGF and MVD-CD34 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining,Western Blot,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa).Results Liver alveolar echinococcsis tissue was only observed in model group.The VEGF expression was observed as yellow or brown yellow granules located in the cytoplasma.The VEGF score and VEGF/β-actin ratio in the different parts were 5.13 ± 1.81 and 1.12 ± 0.05,4.20 ± 1.52 and 0.91 ± 0.02,2.46 ± 1.06 and 0.28 ±0.02,2.20 ±0.77 and 0.30 ±0.02,2.13 ± 1.72 and 0.25 ±0.01,respectively.The VEGF expression in different histological sites showed a gradient change,and bubble hydatid tissues had the highest VEGF expression (P ＜ 0.05).CD34 was expressed in alveolar hydatid tissue and surrounding liver tissue in model group and the CD34 positive cells was stained brown,while CD34 was mainly located in the cell membrane of endothelial cells.The CD34 scores and the CD34/β-actin ratio in the different parts were 5.06 ± 2.46 and 0.66 ±0.01,2.43 ± 1.26 and 0.58 ±0.02,and the other tissues did not have CD34 expression.The alveolar hydatid tissue had higher CD34 expression than any other tissues (P ＜ 0.05).The respective serum VEGF and CD34 level in each group was (106.17 ± 14.17)pg/ml,(38.13 ± 21.36)pg/ml,(42.88 ±17.25) pg/ml,and (1.47 ± 0.28) ng/ml;(0.82 ± 0.12) ng/ml,(0.72 ± 0.16) ng/ml,both are higher in model group than those in the other groups with statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Angiogenesis is detected in gerbil alveolar hydatid tissues,which might be involved in the infiltrating growth of alveococcus.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of protocatechuic acid(PCA)on the PC12 cell model of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and to explore its mechanism . Methods Amyloid beta peptide 1-42(Aβ1-42)fiber polymers were identified by immunofluorescence. After PC12 cells were stimulated with the Aβ1-42 fiber polymers, the cellular morphology was observed at different time points of hour 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 , and the cellular viability was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay to monitor the modeling condition. The effect of PCA on PC12 cells was detected after PC12 cells were pretreated with the different contentions of PCA. Autophagy-related marker Beclin1 protein level was detected by Western blotting method to investigate the protective mechanism of PCA. Results Aggregated white Aβ1-42 mass was stable at hour 12 and 24, and showed no significant difference between the two time points, the cell damage rate being 40%. Therefore, we defined culturing time being 12 and 24 hours as the modeling condition of AD model. The cell viability was increased with 200-800 μmol/L of PCA after culturing for 24 hours(P<0.01) , and the Western blotting results showed that the Beclin1 protein expression was up-regulated by PCA. Conclusion PCA prevents PC12 cells from Aβ1-42-induced toxicity, the mechanism being related with the increase of cellular autophagy.

Objective To evaluate surgical therapies in patients with popliteal aneurysms (PA).Method The clinical data of 25 PA patients admitted from January 1988 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 21 men and 4 women,the mean age was (56 ± 16)years.There were 27 PA in these 25 patients,with bilateral PA in 2 cases.The main symptoms were pulsatile mass in the popliteal fossa,limb pain,acute or chronic distal limb ischemia and limb edema.Result In this series 23out of 25 PA cases recieved operations,17 of them were treated with aneurysmectomy and saphenous vein interposition or bypass grafting,4 of them were treated with aneurysmectomy and prosthetic grafts interposition,1 was treated with aneurism ligation and 1 underwent end-to-end anastomosis after aneurysm resection.There was no perioperative mortality.One patient recieved amputation for distal anastomotic thrombosis and severe limb ischemia.The mean follow-up time is (6.5 ± 0.5) years.After 4 years,a right subclavian artery aneurysm was found in a bilateral PA case and treated surgically.Conclusions Early elective surgical treatment is recommended for patients with PA because PA may go rupture or induce dital limb ischemia and these patients may have good outcome after surgical treatment.Long-term follow-up is warranted to detect the new aneurysm formation.

Purpose To explore the clinical pathological features and differential diagnoses and therapeutics of hyalinizing trabecular tumours ( HTT) of thyroid. Methods The clinical manifestations, high-frequency color doppler ultrasonography, histopathological and immunohistochemical features were analysed in six cases of HTT of thyroid. Related literatures were reviewed. Results On his-topathological examination, polygonal and elongated cells arranged in pattern of trabecular and organoid, with a clear perinucleolus ha-lo. Basement membrane-like material deposited intertrabeculae widespreadly. The tumour cells are completely filled with eosinophilic and granular material in their cytoplasm, nuclei with prominent grooves and pseudoinclusions. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells were positive for TG, TTF-1 and CD56, CK19 and Galectin-3 interspersed expression. And all of them were negative for Calcito-nin, MC, CEA, Syn, CgA, Ki-67, p53 were lower expression. The differential diagnosis included solid variant of papillary carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and paraganglioma and so on. Conclusion HTT is an uncommon thyroid tumor, the majority of them be-have as benign neiplasms and that, correct pathologic diagnosis may play an important role in standard treatment and prognostic evalua-tion of HTT.

Objective : To investigate the mechanism by which Erastin affects ferroptosis in lung fibroblasts. Methods: Mouse lung fibroblasts (C57/B6⁃L) were treated with varying concentrations of the iron death inducer Erastin, Cell viability was assessed using the cell counting Kit⁃8 (CCK⁃8) assay. Oxidative stress levels were visualize using a fluorescence microscope , and the expression of proteins related to the mitogen⁃activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was analyzed using Western blot. Additionally , the p38 and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) inhibitors SB203580 and U0126 were employed to further elucidate the mechanism by which Erastin induces iron death in lung fibroblasts. : At a concentration of 100 μmol/L , Erastin effectively in⁃duced ferroptosis in lung fibroblasts , leading to an upregulation of oxidative stress. Furthermore , the phosphoryla⁃tion levels of p38 and ERK proteins in the MAPK pathway were elevated (P < 0. 05) . The addition of SB203580 and U0126 inhibitors resulted in a significant reduction in oxidative stress levels and a notable increased in cell actiivity in lung fibroblasts (P < 0. 05) . It can be concluded that Erastin induces ferroptosis in lung fibroblasts , potentially through the mediation of oxidative stress via the MAPK signaling pathway.

Breathing is of great significance in the monitoring of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, perioperative monitoring and intensive care. In this study, a respiratory monitoring and verification system based on optical capacitance product pulse wave (PPG) is designed, which can synchronously collect human PPG signals. Through algorithm processing, the characteristic parameters of PPG signal are calculated, and the respiratory signal and respiratory frequency can be extracted in real time. In order to verify the accuracy of extracting respiratory signal and respiratory rate by the algorithm, the system adds the nasal airflow respiratory signal acquisition module to synchronously collect the nasal airflow respiratory signal as the standard signal for comparison and verification. Finally, the root mean square error between the respiratory rate extracted by the algorithm from the pulse wave and the standard respiratory rate is only 1.05 times/min.
