Objective To explore the role of geniposide (Gen) in the proliferation of pancreatic βcells and the cell signaling transduction pathway .Methods After INS-1 pancreatic βcell line was treated with indicated concentrations of Gen for 24 hours, the number of viable cells was measured with MTT assay , and the cell proliferation was evaluated with BrdU labeled method .Additionally , Western blotting was used to probe the phosphorylation of Akt 308 and FoxO1 induced by Gen.Results The number of INS-1 cells and BrdU labeled positive cells was increased by Gen .Moreover, the phospho-rylation of Akt308 and FoxO1 was induced , and the phosphorylation of FoxO 1 induced by Gen could be prevented in the presence of LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K kinase.Conclusion Gen induces the proliferation of INS-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and PI3K signal pathway plays an essential role in the phosphorylation of FoxO 1 induced by Gen.

Objective To explore the short-term and long-term effects ofapplication of Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopic Lithotripsy on the treatment of hepatolithiasis. Methods Eighty-threecases of hepatolithiasis were treated with the PTCSL and the other 87cases were treated with the Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy.The general clinical parameters , curative effect in the near future and long-term curative effect were anlyzed. Results No significant differences were found between the two groups in the general clinical parameters (P>0.05). The operation time,intraoperative blood transfusion volume and intraoperatve blood soss in group A were significantly shorter than those in group B(P<0.05, respectively). The original calculi residual rate was 2.4%, the eventually calculi residual rate was 4.8%and the recurrent cholangitis was4.8%in the model of PTCSL (Group A). The original calculi residual rate was 18.4%, the eventually calculi residual rate was 23.0% and the recurrent cholangitis was 23.0%in the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy (Group B), with significant difference between these two groups (P<0.05). The calculi recurrence rate of group A was 12.0%,the calculi recurrence rate of group B was 22.9%,withno significant difference between these two group (P>0.05). No patients died in each group. The results of complications showed thatthe incidence of residual calculi of group A was significantly lower than that of group B (P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy, the PTCSL was more safe, minimally invasive and effective. The short-term efficacy of the model of PTCSL was better than that of the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy.

Objective To investigate the changes of saliva biochemical parameters in the dynamic evolution of “normal constitution - kidney deficiency constitution - kidney deficiency syndrome”.Methods Totally 24 male and female SD rats of 3 months old (12 male rats and 12 female rats) were put in packet pair cage. Pregnant rats were randomly divided intoⅠ andⅡ groups, 6 rats in each group.Ⅰ group was without intimidation during pregnancy, with normal feeding, and then after the birth, 20 rats were randomly selected as normal control group and kidney deficiency syndrome model group, 10 rats in each group, half male and half female.Ⅱ group, from gestation day 2, was given intimidation until postnatal. 10 half male and half female rats were randomly selected as model group of kidney deficiency constitution. Rats in each group received normal feeding conditions for 6 weeks. The kidney deficiency syndrome model group was given intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone 25 mg/kg body weight every day, while normal control group and kidney deficiency constitution model group were injected with the same amount of normal saline for 10 consecutive days. The changes of salivary biochemical parameters were observed in each group of rats.Results Compared with the normal control group, salivary pH in the kidney deficiency constitution group and kidney deficiency syndrome group significantly increased (P<0.01). CK, ALT, AST, ALP levels in the kidney deficiency constitution group were reduced, but the contents of K, P, TP, AMY increased. The levels of CK, ALT, AST, ALP and LDH in the kidney deficiency syndrome decreased, while the contents of K, P, TP, and AMY increased (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the kidney deficiency constitution group, the content of LDH in the kidney deficiency syndrome group decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion Rat saliva composition changes did occur in the kidney deficiency constitution group and kidney deficiency syndrome group.

Objective To study the efficacy and complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with rivet system for reconstruction of joint capsule and external rotator muscles.Methods Data of 170 patients managed with THA of femoral neck fracture between January 2009 and January 2012 were reviewed retrospectively.Hip fracture was the result of a fall and all were subcapital fractures.The fracture patterns were classified as Garden Ⅳ in 139 patients and Garden Ⅱ in 31 patients according to the degree of displacement.In all,85 patients (37 males and 48 females;age between 61 and 84 years,mean 73 years) underwent joint capsule as well as external rotator muscle reconstruction by rivet system (study group).The remaining 85 patients (36 males and 49 females;age between 64-87 years,mean 74 years) were served as control group.The MOS 36-item short form health survey (SF-36),dislocation rate and complications were evaluated at postoperative follow-up.Results Duration of follow-up was 36 to 60 months (mean,46 months).SF-36 questionnaire scale was (45.95 ±4.27)points in study group and (45.38 ± 4.67) points in control group before operation (P ＞ 0.05),while (83.67 ± 3.93) points in study group and (82.16 ± 3.21) points in control group at postoperative follow-up (P ＜ 0.05).Six patients in control group suffered from early prosthetic dislocation,but none in study control.Perioperative incidence of complications was comparable between the two groups (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Application of rivet system for reconstruction of joint capsule and external rotator muscles in THA of patients with femoral neck fracture can reduce incidence of prosthetic dislocation after operation.The operation is simple and will not increase the rate of perioperative complications.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between violence exposure and depression in adolescents, and to explore possible moderating effects of emotional balance, so as to provide the evidence reference for understanding the status and characteristics of adolescents violence exposure. Methods: A total of 2 506 middle school students from three middle schools in Ganzhou selected by convenient cluster random sampling. Violence Exposure Scale(VES), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) and Emotional Balance Scale were used for questionnaire survey. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the scores of violence exposure among middle school students of different genders, grades, whether the only child or not, father educational level,mother s educational level and family types ( t/F =3.85, 21.14, 2.90, 7.62, 8.13 ,8.12, P < 0.01 ). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of depression among middle school students of different genders, grades and family types ( t/F =-7.05, 18.61,7.42, P <0.01 ). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of emotional balance among middle school students of different genders, grades, father s educational level and mother s educational level ( t/F =7.93, 9.22, 7.71 ,6.86, P <0.01 ) . Emotional balance was positively related to the depressive mood of middle school students ( r =0.34, P < 0.01 )，and emotional balance was negatively related to depression( r =-0.20, P <0.01). Emotional balance had the moderating effect on violence exposure and depression among middle school students ( t =-3.35, β =-0.02, P <0.01). Conclusion Violence exposure is related to depression of middle school students. Improving the emotional balance ability of adolescents can effectively reduce the negative effects of violent exposure on early adolescent depression, and reduce the incidence of adolescent depression.

Objective:To assess the relationship between serum total bilirubin and fundus arteriosclerosis in different genders.Methods:The physical examination data of Huadong Sanatorium in 2018 were analyzed, and a total of 26 275 people were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The age of this study was 18-86 (47.7±11.1) years old. Among them, there were 15 244 males (58.02%) and 11 031 females (41.98%). Participants were divided into 4 groups according to total bilirubin quartile values: Q1<11.50 μmol/L, Q2∶11.50-13.93 μmol/L, Q3∶13.94-17.14 μmol/L and Q4>17.14 μmol/L. The relationship between total serum bilirubin and fundus arteriosclerosis is determined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis methods. The restricted cubic spline method was used to detect the dose-response relationship between total bilirubin and fundus arteriosclerosis. Results:In males, univariate analysis showed that high level of total bilirubin was a protective factor for fundus arteriosclerosis ( OR=0.87, 95% CI 0.78-0.97, P=0.012). After adjusting for other confounding factors, multivariate analysis showed that high level of total bilirubin remained as an independent protective factor for fundus arteriosclerosis ( OR=0.86, 95% CI 0.74-0.99, P=0.047). There was a linear dose-response relationship between total bilirubin level and fundus arteriosclerosis ( P=0.012). In females, univariate analysis showed that there were no statistically significant association between high level of total bilirubin and fundus arteriosclerosis ( OR=0.96, 95% CI 0.80-1.17, P=0.709). After adjusting for other confounding factors, multivariate analysis showed no statistically significant association between high level of total bilirubin and fundus arteriosclerosis ( OR=0.98, 95% CI 0.76-1.27, P=0.888). No linear dose-response relationship between total bilirubin level and fundus arteriosclerosis was found in females ( P=0.253). Conclusion:There are gender differences in the relationship between total bilirubin and fundus arteriosclerosis in this cohort. Elevated levels of total bilirubin are associated with fundus arteriosclerosis in males but not in females.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with or without C3 deposition.Methods:Clinical and pathological data of 576 patients with IMN diagnosed in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2017 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into C3 deposition group and non-C3 deposition group according to the immunofluorescence staining of C3. The clinical and pathological characteristics were compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to compare the prognosis of the two groups.Results:A total of 576 IMN patients (male 364 (63.20%)) were enrolled, including 400 patients (69.44%) with C3 deposition and 176 patients (30.56%) without C3 deposition. Compared with the non-C3 deposition group, the levels of total blood cholesterol ( t=0.94, P=0.002) and the proportion of phospholipase A2 receptor ( χ2=9.99, P=0.002), IgG ( χ2=10.67, P=0.001), IgM ( χ2=7.00, P=0.008), IgA ( χ2=7.87, P=0.005) and C1q ( χ2=8.28, P=0.004) depositions in renal tissues was higher in C3 deposition group, while the levels of serum C3 ( t=2.87, P=0.004), albumin ( t=3.57, P<0.001) and IgG ( Z=3.55, P<0.001) were lower in C3 deposition group. There were no significant differences in other clinicopathological indicators between the two groups. The survival analysis was performed in 460 patients who were followed for>6 months, including 319 cases (69.35%) of C3 deposition and 141 cases (30.65%) of non-C3 deposition. The end point event was defined as an eGFR decline>30% or entry into end stage renal disease (ESRD). There was no statistically significant difference in treatment method between the two groups ( P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 22 (13,32) months, 327 (71.09%) patients achieved remission, and 22 patients had renal end-point events. Compared with the non-C3 deposition group, the proportion of urinary protein remission was lower ( χ2=10.85, P<0.05), the incidence of renal end-point events was higher ( χ2=5.05, P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with C3 deposition had a lower cumulative remission rate (Log-rank χ2=6.68, P=0.010), and a lower cumulative renal survival than those without C3 deposition had ( χ2=5.42, P=0.020). Conclusions:Compared with patients without C3 deposition, IMN patients with C3 deposition have more severe clinical and pathological changes, lower renal cumulative remission rate, and are more likely to have poor prognosis.

Purpose Lymph-vascular invasion (LVI) is a risk factor for the prognosis of colorectal cancer, and it is of great value to evaluate the status of lymphatic vessels before treatment. This study aims to predict colorectal cancer LVI preoperatively based on radiomics. Materials and Methods Radiomics features were extracted from preoperative CT images of colorectal cancer retrospectively collected and radiomics labels were constructed. The predictive efficacy of radiomics labels were assessed and internally verified. Joint predictive factors were established by combining clinical factors with independent predictive efficacy and radiomics labels, and their predictive efficacy was evaluated. Results Radiomics labels consisted of 58 radiomics features were correlated with LVI status (P<0.0001)with the former showing good discrimination ability[C-index 0.719,95% CI:0.715-0.723]and classification ability(sensitivity 0.726, specificity 0.628) with internal validation (C-index 0.720). Joint predictive factors containing radiomics labels and carcino-embryonic antigen further enhanced the predictability of radiomics labels (C-index 0.751, sensitivity 0.788, specificity 0.667). Conclusion The radiomics labels built in this study can provide individualized prediction of LVI status of patients with colorectal cancer before surgery. Joint predictive factors in combination with clinical risk factors further improved predictive efficacy.
