Objective To study the clinic imaging features and the clinic applications of the contrastenhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in the diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma.Methods The characteristics of CEUS were reviewed in 24 patients with gallbladder carcinoma proven pathologically. Results After injection of SonoVue, all gallbladder carcinoma of 24 cases showed enhancement and these lesions looked clearer than those in conventional ultrasound.The analysis of time-intensity curve indicated the upslope of curve was steep in the lesions,which was flat in normal liver parenchyma around.In 10 cases of thick wall of gallbladder carcinoma, quick and obvious enhancement was seen in 9 cases, 1 case showed poor enhancement during scanning,but thick and tortile blood vessels could be seen in the thickening wall.Quick and uneven enhancement was been seen in both 8 cases of soft-tissue mass and 6 cases of nodules within gallbladder.Five cases of gallbladder carcinoma with liver metastasis revealed more liver metastasis depend on CEUS.Conclusions CEUS plays an important role in diagnosis and improving the diagnostic accuracy for gallbladder carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the potential association between SEPS1 variants and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT)in the Chinese Han population and evaulate the effects of SEPS1 haplotypes on the susceptibility to immunity-mediated diseases.Methods We analyzed 7 SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF)≥0.05 in a cohort of 1013 HT patients and 2998 healthy controls from genetically independent Han Chinese individuals.Single SNP,haplotype and gender-specific associations were performed. Results We found that rs28665122 was significantly associated with HT,and SNP was associated with HT in females.Further haplotypic analysis indicated that a haplotype block (rs2009895-rs28665122)spanning the promoter of SEPS1 gene was highly associated with HT. Additionally,the haplotype CA in the block had an almost 1.5-fold increase in these cases,which remained significantly associated with HT in females.Conclusion SEPS1 plays a role in the pathogenesis and etiology of HT.

Objective To explain the relationship between transformational leadership style of head nurse and subordinate ’ s team performance .Methods A cross-section survey was used to collect data and the structural equation model was used to analyze the data .Results The mean score of the transformational leadership of head nurse was (5.353 ±1.180).The mean score of team performance was (5.619 ±1.178). There was a significant positive correlation between the transformational leadership and team performance (β=0.72,P<0.01).Conclusions Both the level of transformational leadership and team performance were above the average .The transformational leadership of head nurse can help promote subordinate ’ s team performance , so the nursing managers should pay attention to shaping their own leadership style .

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of BD-77 by nebulized inhalation on animal models of various respiratory viral infections and investigate the mechanism of broad-spectrum antiviral action of BD-77 using proteomics. MethodThe influenza virus H1N1/FM1 experiment used ICR mice and divided them into a normal group, model group, Tamiflu group, and BD-77 groups of 75 and 37.5 g·L-1 for inhalation of 20 min and 25 min. Human coronavirus 229E and OC43 experiment divided the BALB/c mice into a normal group, model group, chloroquine phosphate group, and BD-77 groups of 75, 37.5, 18.75, and 9.375 g·L-1, with 10 mice in each group. Influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 infection-induced pneumonia models were used to detect mouse lung index, and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the viral load in lung tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect related inflammatory factors in lung tissue, and proteomics analysis was performed on the lung tissue of OC43-infected mice. ResultCompared with that in the normal group, the lung index of mice in each infection group was significantly increased (P<0.01), and viral nucleic acid could be detected in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronaviruses 229E and OC43. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronavirus 229E were all significantly increased (P<0.01). BD-77 could significantly reduce the lung index of mice infected with influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 (P<0.05, P<0.01), cut down the viral load in the lungs of mice infected with human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 (P<0.01), and lower the contents of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronavirus 229E (P<0.01). Proteomics analysis of the lung tissue of OC43-infected mice showed that BD-77 regulated the AMPK signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, NOD-like signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, Forkhead box protein O (FoxO) signaling pathway, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, and other signaling pathways. ConclusionNebulized inhalation of BD-77 is effective in treating pneumonia caused by influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 infection in mice and may exert its antiviral effects by regulating the balance of cellular metabolism, enhancing the immune function of the host, and attenuating inflammatory responses.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are the most well-known cardiovascular diseases, which share many common pathological basis. Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsule (YDXNT) is a commonly used Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of stroke and CHD. However, its action of mechanism of co-treatment for stroke and CHD is still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the common mechanism of YDXNT in co-treatment of CHD and stroke using network pharmacology, experimental verification and molecular docking. An integrated literature mining and databases of IPA, ETCM, HERB, Swiss Target Prediction, OMIM and GeneCards were used to screen and predict active ingredients and potential targets of YDXNT in co-treatment of CHD and stroke. The protein-protein interaction network, GO analysis and pathway analysis were analyzed by IPA software. The effect of YDXNT on core targets was verified by immunofluorescence. UPLC-QTOF/MS and molecular docking were used to screen and predict the main active constituents of YDXNT and their interactions with core targets. A total of 151 potential targets are predicted for YDXNT in co-treatment of CHD and stroke. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1
