Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of P-selectin in colorectal cancer cells. Methods The protein expression of P-selectin was detected by immunohistochemistry in colorectal cancer tissues ( n=116) and corresponding non-tumor normal mucosa(n=57). The differences of P-selectin expression in colorectal cancer tissues, corre?sponding non-tumor normal mucosa and the clinical pathological significance were compared and analysed in two groups. Results The expression of P-selectin protein was found not only in vascular endothelial cells but also in colorectal cancer cells. The positive rate of P-selectin expression was apparently higher in colorectal cancer cells (77.6%, 90/116) than that in normal mucosa (17.5%, 10/57,χ2=56.49, P<0.05). However, there were no significance in positive rates of P-selectin in colorectal cancer cells between tumors with different diameters, different degrees of differentiation, different depths of infiltration and with or without lymph node metastasis (80.6%vs. 74.1%, 79.0%vs. 74.3%, 78.4%vs. 76.9%, 82.7%vs. 73.4%, P>0.05). Conclusion The high expression of P-seletin in colorectal cancer cells is an important characteristic of colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore a new technique to treat the benign stricture at hilar bile duct of plastic anastomosis, so as to obtain the theoretical basis and the feasibilities of practical application in treating the benign stricture at hilar bile duct with plastic anastomosis through the animal experiments. Methods 30 miniature pigs were randomly divided into three groups. Group A (control group):2 centimeters of the bile duct above the duodenum was isolated;Group B:The same separation of bile duct with group A, then making physical injury on it with the clamps and electric heat;Group C:Making bile duct injury model in group C as group B,and then monitoring of the diet, feces, urine, ALT, AST and bilirubin etc. When the bile duct stricture was formed, taking the plastic anastomosis operation in this group. After all the operations, we observed the diet, mental state and the color of the urine of animals in all the three groups, and tested ALT,AST,T-BIL and D-BIL levels on the pre- and post-day and every 7 days after surgery respectively. After three months of the surgery,we executed all the pigs,picked up part of the liver tissue,then preserved them by liquid nitrogen for pathological examination. Results From the day before operative-day to the 30 days after operation, there was no significant change in ALT, AST, T-BIL and D-BIL in group A,while the relative indicators of group B and C had obvious changes ( <0.05) . The indicators of group B were significantly increased 21 days after surgery, compared with pre-operation and 14 days after operation respectively ( <0.05) . In group C, the indicators were significantly declined 14 to 21 days after the plastic anastomosis compared with pre-operation (<0.05) . Conclusions Treating benign stricture at hilar bile duct of miniature pigs by plastic anastomosis is feasible and practicable. This study provides an experimental basis for clinical application of plastic anastomosis in treatment of benign stricture at hilar bile duct.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of SNP of CD40 gene and its serum levels with ischemic stroke (IS).

METHODSA total of 202 IS patients from a hospital of Baise city were enrolled in case group from May 2013 to November 2014. At the same time, 109 healthy people who had physical check-ups in the outpatient department at the same hospital were enrolled in the control group. All participants were from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and unrelated to each other. 3 ml venous blood were collected on the premise of informed consent. The single nucleotide polymorphisms of CD40 gene rs1883832 C/T, rs13040307 C/T, rs752118 C/T and rs3765459 G/A were analyzed using a Snapshot SNP genotyping assays, and the serum levels of CD40 were tested by ELISA. t-test was used to compare the serum levels of CD40 between the case and control group, and the genotypes at different locuses in case group; χ(2) test was used to compare the distribution differences of the CD40 gene locuses in different genotypes and allele between the case group and the control group; alleles was established as independent variables, the occurrence of the IS as dependent variable, and expressed relative risk with OR (95%CI) value.

RESULTSIn the case group, the frequency of CC, CT and TT genotypes in CD40 gene rs1883832 C/T were 21.78% (44/202), 49.51% (100/202) and 28.71% (58/202), respectively, and 33.17% (66/199), 48.74% (97/199), 18.09% (36/199) in the control group, respectively, the differences between the two groups was significant (χ(2)=9.57, P=0.008). The CD40 serum levels were (62.7 ± 24.5) pg/ml in the case group, which was higher than that in the control group (45.3 ± 17.2) pg/ml (t=8.97, P<0.001). The serum levels of TT and CT genotypes in CD40 gene were (65.9 ± 26.3) and (64.3 ± 25.9) pg/ml, respectively, and the differences were significant when comparing with CC genotype (t equaled 5.34 and 5.03, respectively, P<0.001). The risk of developing IS was 1.56 times higher in 1883832 T allele carriers than that in rs1883832 C allele carriers (OR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.18-2.06); Combined genotype analysis displayed that CD40 gene rs1883832 C/T, rs13040307 C/T, rs752118 C/T and rs3765459 G/A polymorphisms showed strong linkage disequilibrium, the case group TCCA haplotype was tested to be associated with a significantly increased risk of IS as compared with that in the control group(OR=2.49; 95%CI: 1.13-5.48).

CONCLUSIONCD40 gene rs1883832 C/T polymorphism and its TCCA haplotype were possibly associated with ischemic stroke, and the susceptibility gene for ischemic stroke may be rs1883832 T allele.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy has been routinely used in all tumor types of the liver, but for tumors in the Ⅵ, Ⅶ and Ⅷ segments of the liver (referred to as tumors in a special position of the liver in this paper), laparoscopic hepatectomy has some difficulties in aspect of vision and operation due to the deep anatomical position. In the process of continuous experience accumulation, hepatobiliary surgeons have explored different surgical positions, surgical methods and surgical paths to solve the encountered difficulties. For tumors located in a special position of the liver, conventional laparoscopy, change of surgical posture, thoracoscopic or combined laparoscopy and retroperitoneal laparoscopy are effective and feasible. All of them have their own advantages.

AIM: To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide on the senescence of human umbilical vein endothe -lial cells (HUVECs) induced by high glucose.METHODS: Senescence model was established by treating HUVECs with33 mmol/L glucose for 48 h.The parameters were detected to demonstrate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on senescence andthe mechanism involved was also investigated .RESULTS: In the cells treated with high glucose, the proliferation was attenuatedwith a higher number of senescence -associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells, and plasminogen activatorinhibitor 1 (PAI-1) protein expression, malondialdehyde (MDA) production and NF-κB p65 activity were increasedsignificantly, but the expression of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was decreased.However, the cell number and SOD1expression were increased, and the number of SA-β-Gal positive cells, PAI-1 protein expression, MDA production and theactivity of NF-κB p65 were decreased after sodium hydrosulfide (100 and 200 μmol/L) treatment.CONCLUSION: Exogenoushydrogen sulfide prevents HUVECs against high glucose -induced senescence by suppressing oxidative stress and NF -κB p65 activity.

Objective:To analyze the distribution characteristics of peripheral retinopathy in Chinese patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods:A cross-sectional study. From January to December 2019, 265 cases of 388 eyes of DR patients diagnosed in the eye examination of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 211 eyes in 148 males and 177 eyes in 117 females; the average age was 58.4±12.3 years. Ultra-wide-angle fundus imaging (UWF) examination was performed by Daytona in Aalborg, UK. Use Photoshop to simulate the standard 7-azimuth (S7F) area, which was used as the central retinal area 1-7. The peripheral retinal areas 3-7 (P3-P7) were the adjacent peripheral retinal areas of the central retinal area 3-7, respectively. Divided DR into peripheral lesion predominant type (PPL) and central lesion predominant type (PCL). PPL was defined as at least one peripheral retinal area with more severe disease than its adjacent central area. χ 2 test was performed on the difference of PPL composition ratio in each retinal area of eyes with different DR stages. Results:Among 388 eyes, 200 eyes were PPL (51.5%, 200/388). Compared of PPL composition ratios of eyes with different stages of DR, mild non-proliferative DR (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and proliferative DR were 32 (36.8%, 32/87), 89 (55.3%, 89/161)), 42 (51.9%, 42/81), 37 (62.6%, 37/59), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=11.440, P=0.010). Comparison of the distribution of PPL in each retinal area in DR eyes: in 200 PPL eyes, areas 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have 87, 101, 78, 67, and 38 eyes, respectively. The distribution of PPL in each retinal area in DR eyes was compared, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=37.640, P<0.001). Conclusions:PPL accounts for 51.5% of the eyes with DR. The DR stage are more severe, the proportion of PPL is higher. The temporal retinal peripheral lesions are the most common.
