Objective To study the effect of sand therapy on the hemodynamics of flexural femoral artery, and further reveal the therapeutic mechanism of sand therapy from the perspective of hemodynamics. Methods The three-dimensional finite element model of the curved femoral artery was established based on CT images of human aorta, and the data of heart rate, peak blood flow velocity and inner diameter of femoral artery measured by the experiment were used as initial conditions and boundary conditions to carry out finite element numerical simulation. The blood flow velocity, pressure and wall shear stress before and after sand therapy were analyzed and compared under fluid-solid coupling condition. Results Compared with treatment before sand therapy, the longitudinal velocity of the flexural segment of blood vessel increased significantly, with an increase of 22.76%. The secondary reflux velocity decreased significantly, with a relative decrease of 18.26%. The wall shear stress decreased by 2.01% after sand therapy. Conclusions Sand therapy had a significant effect on blood fluidity, by improving blood flow of femoral arteries, and preventing deposition of arterial platelets. The transverse flow phenomenon was obviously weakened after sand therapy, which could avoid the deposition of substances in blood and had a positive effect on the prevention of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and other vascular diseases.

Objective: To investigate the development of hepatocyte senescence during liver fibrogenesis and to explore the effect and possible mechanism of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on hepatocyte senescence and liver fibrosis. Methods: A total of 42 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were selected. Eighteen rats were induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) to establish the rat model of liver fibrosis. On the day 0, six and 28 after the establishment of the model, six rats were executed respectively to analyze the liver fibrosis and hepatocyte senescence in CCl₄-induced liver fibrosis rat models. Twenty-four rats were divided into control group, CCl₄ group, CCl₄+ lentivirus vector (LV-CTR) group and CCl₄+ LV-IGF-1 group, with six rats in each group.The rats were sacrificed on the 28th day after the establishment of the model. The liver tissues were obtained and the inferior vena cava blood was collected to analyze the effect of IGF-1 overexpression on liver fibrosis and hepatocyte senescence. Analysis variance (ANOVA), least significant difference (LSD) and Dunnett T3 test were performed for statistical analysis. Results: Steatohepatitis on the 6th day and early stage of hepatic fibrosis on the 28th day, which indicated the model was successfully established. The results of the effects of IGF-1 overexpression on hepatic fibrosis and hepatocyte senescence showed that on the 28th day, compared with those of control group, both the score of Ishak liver inflammation and necrosis and the score of Ishak liver fibrosis were increased in the CCl₄ group, CCl₄+ LV-CTR group and CCl₄+ LV-IGF-1 group (0, 14.55±1.94, 15.43±2.19 and 10.29±1.47, respectively; 0, 3.51±0.51, 3.21±0.79 and 1.32±0.40, respectively). The area of liver tissues by Masson staining (0.45±0.40, 5.62±1.08, 6.03±0.65 and 2.88±1.54), SA-β-Gal staining (1.75±0.80, 4.28±1.19, 4.92±1.14, 3.11±0.79), p53 (2.02±0.81, 4.36±1.02, 4.72±0.72 and 3.58±0.70) and progerin (0.72±0.40, 4.52±1.01, 4.01±1.25 and 2.66±0.80) all were increased. The levels of serum IGF-1 all were decreased ((632.00±6.04), (503.00±40.42), (508.00±21.94) and (572.40±5.94) ng/L). However the levels of ALT all were increased ((11.20±5.97), (214.00±73.90), (245.00±76.06) and (30.00±5.00) U/L). The relative expression levels of p53 (0.58±0.06, 1.78±0.18, 1.72±0.10 and 1.23±0.22) and progerin (0.12±0.02, 0.78±0.15, 1.32±0.20 and 0.81±0.16) in the primary hepatocytes were increased. The differences were all statistically significant (F=91.674, 90.778, 32.982, 9.726, 10.640, 17.029, 103.910, 30.059, 64.707 and 97.457, all P<0.05). Compared with those of CCl₄+ LV-CTR group, the score of Ishak liver inflammation and necrosis and the score of Ishak liver fibrosis were decreased in the rats′ liver tissues of CCl₄+ LV-IGF-1 group, the areas of Masson staining, SA-β-Gal staining, p53 and progerin in the liver tissues were decreased, the level of serum IGF-1 was increased, the level of ALT was decreased, and the relative expression levels of p53 and progerin in primary hepatocytes both were decreased. The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05, respectively). Conclusions Hepatocyte senescence increases in the process of liver fibrosis induced by CCl₄. Overexpression of IGF-1 may alleviate liver injury, improve hepatocyte senescence and liver fibrogenesis by regulating the nuclear p53/progerin pathway.

Objective:To study the strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic tumors in children.Methods:The clinical data of 18 children with pancreatic tumor managed at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from March 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively studied. There were 8 males and 10 females, age ranged from 3 months to 14 years and 11 months, with a median age of 8 years and 2 months. Clinical data including age, gender, pathological data, surgical methods, chemotherapy, tumor location and treatment outcomes were collected. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient visits and by telephone.Results:Abdominal ultrasound, enhanced CT and/or MRI examinations were performed on all these patients, with findings of either a cystic or solid lesion of pancreas. All patients were treated by laparotomy under endotracheal intubation and general anesthesia. The operations were all completed successfully. Among the 18 patients, there were 11 patients with solid pseudopapillary tumors and 7 patients with pancreatoblastoma (PBL). The tumors were located in the head of the pancreas in 13 patients (including 3 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, 1 patient who underwent resection of the head of the pancreas with preservation of the duodenum, and 9 patients who underwent resection of the tumors). The tumors were located in the body and tail of the pancrease in 5 patients (including 3 patients who underwent resection of the body and tail of the pancreas with preservation of spleen, and 2 patients who underwent resection of tumors). Because of huge tumors, 1 patient had bilateral lung, left supraclavicular fossa lymph node and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, 3 patients were confirmed to have PBL by biopsy, and these tumors were resected completely after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Postoperative pathology showed that all the 3 patients had PBL and were given systematic chemotherapy. Postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 1 patient and chylous fistula in another patient, both were discharged home successfully after conservative treatments. All patients were followed-up for 2-7 years, and all children were tumor-free.Conclusion:It is not difficult to diagnose pediatric pancreatic tumors by ultrasound, CT and MRI before operation, and postoperative pathology was needed to confirm the diagnosis. Function-preserving surgical resection was the treatment of choice for pancreatic tumors in children.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerp rint of decoction pi eces and dispensing granules of Gardenia jasminoides ，to determine the contents of 6 components，so as to evaluate its quality combined with chemical pattern recognition. METHODS High performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）was used. Using geniposide as the reference ，Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition）was used to draw the fingerprints of 20 batches of G. jasminoides decoction pieces and 10 batches of G. jasminoides dispensing granules. Similarity evaluation and common peaks identification were conducted. The same HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester ，geniposide， picrocrocin，rutin，crocin-Ⅰ and crocin- Ⅱ. ORIGIN 9.1 software was used for hierarchical clustering analysis ，and SIMCA 16.0 software was used for principal component analysis （PCA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis. The differential components affecting the quality of decoction pieces and dispensing granules were screened by taking the variable importance in projection（VIP）value＞1 as the standard. RESULTS There were 24 common peaks for both 20 batches of G. jasminoides decoction piece and 10 batches of G. jasminoides dispensing granules ；a total of 22 common peaks were found in the fingerprints of 30 batches of samples ，and the similarity was not lower than 0.96；six common peaks were identified ，i.e. deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester （peak 2），geniposide（peak 6），picrocrocin（peak 9），rutin（peak 11），crocin-Ⅰ（peak 15），crocin-Ⅱ（peak 17）. Average contents of above 6 components in G. jasminoides decoction pieces were 1.04，57.00，1.30，1.03，9.63 and 0.99 mg/g， respectively；those of G. jasmin oides dispensing granules were 0.96，17.04，0.37，0.27，0.73 and 0.04 mg/g，respectively. PCA results showed that G. jasminoides decoction pieces and G. jasminoides dispensing granules were clustered into respective one category ，which was consistent with results of cluster analysis. There were 9 common peaks with VIP value ＞1， which were 16，14，3，17（crocin-Ⅱ），15（crocin-Ⅰ），18， 22， 2 （deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester） and 21. CONCLUSIONS The estab lished fingerprint and content determination method are simple and reproducible. Combined with chemical pattern recognition ，it can be used to evaluate the quality of decoction pieces and dispensing granules of G. jasminoides . Nine corresponding components represented by peak 16 and so on are the differential components that affect the quality of them.
