In order to explore the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to find the best evidence for clinical practice, recent literature about the pathogenesis and treatment of NAFLD was analyzed, and it was found that the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the most important factor in development of NAFLD. Based on insulin resistance (IR), generation of ROS is a central link in the course of "two hits". Other factors, such as leptin resistance, caspase-3, Fas and its ligand, peripheral natural killer T cells, cyclooxygenase-2, metabolic nuclear receptors, hepatic deposition of iron, ferritin, haptoglobin, retinol binding protein 4, imbalance of intestinal flora, mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress, also contribute to the progress of NAFLD. In the treatment of NAFLD, beside the conventionally used methods such as IR improvement, antioxidation and lipid metabolism improvement, other medicines such as nuclear metabolism ligands or activators, iron-chelating agents and syndrome differentiation treatment in traditional Chinese medicine also have good efficacy.

Objective:
To investigate the proportion of achieving the blood lipid control target and its influencing factors among residents at a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), so as to provide insights into management of blood lipid among residents at a high risk of ASCVD.
Methods:
Residents at a high risk of ASCVD and at ages of 35 to 70 years were sampled using a multi-stage cluster sampling method from 6 counties (districts) in Shaoxing City from May to July 2021. The residents' demographics, smoking, alcohol consumption and medical history of chronic diseases were collected using questionnaires, the height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure were measured, and the total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting blood glucose were detected. The proportion of blood lipids achieving the control target was analyzed, and factors affecting the proportion of blood lipids achieving the control target were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 1 695 individuals at a high risk of ASCVD were enrolled, including 940 men (55.46%) and 755 women (44.54%), with a mean age of (62.56±6.08) years. There were 285 participants that achieved the target of blood lipid control (16.81%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (male, OR=1.962, 95%CI: 1.396-2.758), age (OR=1.037, 95%CI: 1.013-1.061), WC (OR=0.979, 95%CI: 0.964-0.995), diastolic blood pressure (OR=0.981, 95%CI: 0.967-0.994), smoking (OR=1.485, 95%CI: 1.034-2.133), alcohol consumption (OR=0.684, 95%CI: 0.498-0.941), hypertension (OR=1.428, 95%CI: 1.006-2.207), administration of hypoglycemic drugs (OR=2.326, 95%CI: 1.720-3.144) as factors affecting the achievement of the target for blood lipid control among residents at a high risk of ASCVD.
Conclusions
Individuals at a high risk of ASCVD with higher WC, higher diastolic blood pressure and alcohol consumption are less likely to achieve the target for blood lipid control, while male individuals with older age, hypertension and administration of hypogcemic drugs are more likely to achieve the target for blood lipid control.

BACKGROUND:Large randomized trials have demonstrated carotid endarterectomy or stenting for symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis is effective.
OBJECTIVE:Using the meta analysis method, to evaluate efficacy and safety of carotid stenting and carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis.
METHODS:Computer-based retrieval of databases both at home and abroad was performed for randomized control ed trials related to carotid stenting and carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis. According to exclusion criteria, literature screening was done fol owed by quality evaluation. Then, the enrol ed literatures were analyzed by Cochrane col aboration with RevMan5.0 Meta analysis software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were 14 enrol ed studies, including 7 693 patients among whom, 3 835 cases were in stenting group and 3 858 in carotid endarterectomy group. Compared with the carotid endarterectomy group, the stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively, death and stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively, myocardial infarction event rate within 1 year postoperatively and non-disabling stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively were higher in the stenting group (P ≤0.000 1);the myocardial infarction event rate within 30 days postoperatively was lower in the stenting group (P=0.001 0). There were no significant differences in the death event rate and disabled stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively between the two groups. These two treatments are complementary rather than antagonistic. We should optimize the treatment choice based on the comprehensive analysis of each patient's condition.

ObjectiveTo study prognostic factors and surgical extent of papillary thyroid microcarcinona (PTMC). MethodsLiteratures about PTMC were searched. Relationship between prognostic factors and recurrence after initial operation was analyzed by meta analysis. The surgical extent of PTMC was discussed. Results A total of 12 retrospective studies were included. Meta analysis results showed that factors such as male, tumor size > 5 mm, nonincidental, positive lymphnode, multifocus, and capsular invasion were related to recurrence after initial surgery. Age above 45 years had nothing to do with the recurrence rate of PTMC. There was no signifi.cant difference in recurrence rate between prophylactic neck dissection groups and the groups without prophylactic neck dissection. ConclusionsMany factors are related to the prognosis of PTMC. The surgical extent depends on prognostic factors. Prophylactic neck dissection is not supposed to be conventional surgical procedure for PTMC. Bilateral central lymph node dissection is appropriate to PTMC with positive lymph node.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the relationship between degradation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA in the mouse liver and postmortem interval (PMI).
METHODS:
Sixty NIH mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and suffocation, and then placed into 10 degrees C and 25 degrees C temperature-controlling systems. The changes of GAPDH mRNA in the liver were detected by two-step fluorimetric reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique and nucleic acids protein cryoscope from 0 to 48 h postmortem.
RESULTS:
In the mouse liver, the amplification products of GAPDH mRNA could be examined within 48 h postmortem in 10 degrees C temperature-controlling system and within 36 h postmortem in 25 degrees C temperature-controlling system. The amplification products showed a decreasing tendency.
CONCLUSION
Degradation of GAPDH mRNA in the mouse liver is negative correlation with PMI. GAPDH mRNA could be a new marker for estimation of PMI.

Small cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare and highly malignant tumor of the urinary system. It is less common for prostate small cell carcinoma coexisting with bladder carcinoma. One such case was reported in this paper. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided transrectal prostate biopsy, and transurethral bladder endoscopy + bladder tumor electric resection. Postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry showed prostate small cell carcinoma accompanied by high-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and small cell carcinoma. The patient underwent local bladder perfusion chemotherapy, relying on etoposide plus lobaplatin systemic chemotherapy and toripalimab immunotherapy. Prostate MRI, cystoscopy, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were performed 12 months after operation. The size of the lesions in the prostate and seminal vesicles had decreased, and there was a significant reduction in PSA levels. Additionally, no masses were detected in the bladder.

With the development of population aging, the incidence of lower limb artery ischemic diseases is gradually increasing. Although various treatments such as medication and endovascular surgery are currently available, patients with compromised microcirculation in the distal limbs and poor outflow pathways often do not achieve satisfactory results. Additionally, these treatments can be costly, and long-term patency rates are not ideal. The amendment in situ autologous great saphenous vein arterialization surgery utilizes the patient′s great saphenous vein to provide arterial blood in a retrograde manner and re-establishes blood supply to the tissues through the venous microcirculation system in the distal foot. This approach can achieve good limb salvage results and long-term patency. Therefore, this article aims to elaborate on the methods and value of amendment in situ autologous great saphenous vein arterialization surgery.

BackgroundDepression, anxiety, impulse control disorders, insomnia are prevalent non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, severely impairing the quality of life of patients. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common psychological intervention for various clinical psychological conditions, which can improve anxiety, insomnia and depression in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, the current research evidence on the effects of CBT in improving quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease remains inconsistent. ObjectiveTo assess the effects of CBT on the quality of life among patients with Parkinson's disease, so as to provide references for the clinical application of CBT in this population. MethodsOn May 25, 2023, a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database and VIP Database to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the impact of CBT on the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Literature screening, quality evaluation and data extraction were performed, focusing on variables related to quality of life, anxiety, and depression. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 13.0 and RevMan 5.3. ResultsA total of 11 studies with 456 participants were included, comprising 241 in the CBT group and 215 in the control group. The CBT group exhibited significantly higher quality of life compared with the control group (SMD=0.47, 95% CI: 0.27~0.67, P<0.01). Anxiety and depression scores in CBT group were significantly lower than those in the control group (SMD=-0.63,95% CI:-0.84~-0.43, P<0.01; SMD=-0.83, 95% CI: -1.15~-0.51, P<0.01). Among the 11 studies, 6 studies delivered CBT remotely and 5 studies implemented CBT face-to-face. Meta-analysis results revealed that remote CBT group yielded significantly higher quality of life (SMD=0.43, 95% CI: 0.17~0.70, P<0.01), and lower anxiety and depression scores (SMD=-0.62, 95% CI: -0.91~-0.34, P<0.01; SMD=-0.78, 95% CI: -1.34~-0.21, P<0.01) compared with the control group. Similarly, face-to-face CBT group showed better outcomes than the control group in terms of quality of life, anxiety and depression (SMD=0.51, 95% CI: 0.22~0.81, P<0.01; SMD=-0.64, 95% CI: -0.93~-0.35, P<0.01; SMD=-0.90, 95% CI: -1.20~-0.60, P<0.01). ConclusionCBT may contribute to alleviating anxiety and depression levels of patients with Parkinson's disease, and improving their quality of life.{Funded by Shanghai 13th Five-Year Key Specialty Construction Project (number, shslczdzk04901); Nature Fund Project of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission (number, 22ZR1459300); Shanghai Municipal Health Commission Traditional Chinese Medical Science Non-drug Therapy Demonstration Center Project [number, ZY(2021-2023) -0204-03]}
