Conclusions MLI may have different risk factors and pathogeneses w ith SLI. Atherosclerotic lesions and embolism are the important pathogeneses of MLI, w hile SLI is not.

Cystic lesions of the liver are classified into parasitic and non-parasitic lesions. Parasitic lesions mainly refer to hepatic cystic echinococcosis, and non-parasitic lesions can be further classified into benign, borderline, and malignant lesions. At present, there are still no comprehensive standard treatment of cystic space-occupying lesions in the liver. With reference to related literature in China and foreign countries, this article reviews the etiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis and treatment of hepatic cystic diseases, so as to improve the understanding of this disease.

Objective To evaluate the opening level and optimal time window of the blood-brain barrier induced by adenosine A2 receptor agonist ( Lexiscan) via dynamic enhanced MRI. Methods Twen-ty New Zealand white rabbits were divided into experiment group ( group A, n=10) and control group ( group B, n=10) . Rabbits in group A were injected with Lexiscan and rabbits in group B were injected with physiological salt via ear vein, then the coronary scanning was performed. Contrast enhanced MRI was performed at different time points ( 5, 10, 15, 20 min, and then every 10 min, until 2 h) following the in-fusion of Gd-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA). The signal intensity (SI) of region of interest ( ROI) was measured and the percent enhancement of SI was calculated. Evens blue staining results in brain tissues were observed. Pair t test was used to analyze the data. Results The percent enhancement of SI in group A significantly increased to (40. 93±3.70)％ at 5 min, reached the maximum of (43.03±3.62)％ at 30 min, slowly decreased until 50 min, and got to a stable level at almost 80 min. At each time point, the per-cent enhancement of SI in group A was significantly higher than that in group B ( t values:6.88-20.28, all P<0. 05) . The staining was evident in group A. Conclusions Lexiscan can open blood-brain barrier tem-porarily and reversibly, and the optimal opening time window is 10-50 min post-injection.

Objective To observe the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation on intestinal microbiota and brain function in sepsis rats. Methods Sixty male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham operation group, model group and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) group by random number table, each group 20 rats. The rat model of sepsis was established by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 10 mg/kg in tail vein. FMT group received nasogastric infusion of feces from healthy donor. Fecal samples were collected on the 6th day after the modeling to detect the levels of intestinal microbiota composition; the brain function was also evaluated by electroencephalogram (EEG), and the proportion of each waveform in EEG was calculated. After sacrifice of rats in different groups, the brain tissues were taken, the levels of protein expression and positive cells of Iba-1 in brain tissue were detected by Western Blot and immunohistochemistry method. Results ① Intestinal flora analysis showed that: the diversity index and Chaol index of the intestinal microbiota in model group were significantly lower than that in sham operation group (observed species:282±40 vs. 473±37, Chao1 index: 730±21 vs. 837±27, both P < 0.05); compared with the model group, the diversity index and Chaol index in FMT group were obviously higher (observed species: 461±20 vs. 282±40, Chao1 index:840±16 vs. 730±21, both P < 0.05). At phylum, family, genus level analysis showed that the proportion of Firmicutes phylum and Fusobacterium were obviously lower than those of sham operation group [Firmicutes phylum (22.12±1.34)% vs. (78.01±1.23)%, Fusobacterium: (2.03±0.17)% vs. (5.03±0.19)%, both P < 0.05], and the proportions of Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes phyla and Acidaminococcaceae, Fusobacteriaceae, Enterbacteriacecae, Alistipes were markedly higher in model group [Proteobacteria: (70.21±2.35)% vs. (19.45±2.17)%, Bacteroidetes phyla: (4.12±0.19)% vs. (2.50±0.64)%, Acidaminococcaceae: (12.51±0.87)% vs. (1.01±0.12)%, Fusobacteriaceae: (13.62±1.27)% vs. (2.31±0.19)%, Enterbacteriacecae: (18.24±2.13)% vs. (4.15±1.51)%, Alistipes: (4.53±0.27)% vs. (1.47±0.33)%, all P < 0.05]; compared with the model group, the proportion of Firmicutes phylum and Faecalibacterium in FMT group were significantly higher [Firmicutes phylum: (72.14±2.31)% vs. (22.12±1.34)%, Faecalibacterium: (5.01±0.27)% vs. (2.03±0.17)%, both P < 0.05], and Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes phyla and Acidaminococcaceae, Fusobacteriaceae, Enterbacteriacecae in FMT group were obviously lower [Proteobacteria: (14.23±1.98)% vs. (70.21±2.35)%, Bacteroidetes phyla: (3.15±0.18)% vs. (4.12±0.19)%, Acidaminococcaceae: (0.91±0.11)% vs. (12.51±0.87)%, Fusobacteriaceae: (1.25±0.15)% vs. (13.62±1.27)%, Enterbacteriacecae: (3.50±0.21)% vs. (18.24±2.13)%, all P < 0.05]. ② EEG analysis showed that the percentages of δ wave in EEG in model group was significantly higher after modeling than that in sham operation group [(16.86±0.50)% vs. (10.67±0.65)%, P < 0.05]; the ratios of δ wave in EEG was significantly lower in FMT group than that in the model group [(12.87±0.60)% vs. (17.35±0.41)%, P <0.05]. The incidence of abnormal EEG in sham operation group was 0, the incidence of abnormal EEG in model group was significantly increased [the ratios of δpredominant wave, θpredominant wave, low-voltage were 66.7% (6/9), 66.7% (6/9), 77.8% (7/9) respectively], the ratios of above abnormal waves in EEG in FMT group were obviously lower than those in model group [the ratios of above abnormal waves in FMT group were respectively 9.1% (1/11), 9.1% (1/11), 18.2%(2/11)]. ③ Western Blot analysis showed that the protein expression of Iba-1 in cortex in model group obviously was higher than that in sham operation group (Iba-1/β-actin: 1.39±0.16 vs. 0.67±0.18, P < 0.05); the expression of Iba-1 in cortex tissue of FMT group was markedly lower than that in model group (Iba-1/β-actin: 0.51±0.14 vs. 1.39±0.16, P < 0.05). ④ Immunohistochemistry of Iba-1 in cortex analysis showed that there were no Iba-1 positive cells in the cortex in sham operation group; Iba-1 positive cells were found in the cortex in model group; the number of Iba-1 positive cells in FMT group was less than that in model group. Conclusion FMT can improve the construction of intestinal microbiota, and ameliorate the brain dysfunction in SAE.

Objective:To investigate the effects and its mechanism of chronic unpredictable stress on intestine and liver injuries in rats, and explore the possibility of the existence of brain-gut-liver axis.Methods:Twenty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and stress group (with 10 in each group). The rats in the stress group were stimulated by chronic unpredictable stress for 4 weeks to prepare the chronic stress model. The rats in the control group were fed normally without stress stimulation. After modeling, ten rats in the control group and seven rats in the stress group were included. The depressive behavior of the two groups was evaluated by sugar water preference experiment. Then the rats were sacrificed. The diversity of gut flora in intestinal feces was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. The pathological injuries of ileum and liver were detected by HE staining. The expressions of occludin in ileum and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in liver were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of TLR4 protein in liver tissue was detected by Western blot. The level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rat portal vein serum was detected by AZO chromogenic limulus test and blood biochemical method was used to detect liver function.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software, and t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between the two groups. Using STAMP software, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to analyze the difference in bacterial abundance between the two groups. Results:The consumption of sugar water ((7.86±0.90)ml) and the preference rate of sugar water ((43.06±5.65)%) in the stress group were lower than those in the control group ((15.10±1.51)ml, (76.81±6.44)%), and the difference were statistically significant ( t=11.33, 11.16, both P<0.01). Chronic stress caused pathological damage to rat ileum tissue. Compared with the control group, the ileum villi of rats in the chronic stress group were longer ((448.93±12.71)μm, (497.12±16.72)μm, t=-5.88, P<0.01) and thicker ((81.99±16.54)μm, (133.93±6.78)μm, t=-7.12, P<0.01), and the expression of occludin was significantly down-regulated ((0.236±0.011), (0.130±0.026), t=9.12 , P<0.01), the LPS level increased significantly ((18.83±2.62)EU/L, (38.64±2.51)EU/L, t=-5.79, P<0.01). The Beta diversity of rat intestinal flora changed under chronic stress, and the abundance of WPS-2 phylum in intestinal tract of rats in stress group was higher than that in control group ( t=2.76, P<0.05). Chronic stress caused pathological damage to the liver tissue of rats. Compared with the control group, the expression of TLR4 protein in the liver tissue of the chronic stress group increased ((0.169±0.014), (0.475±0.034), Z=-2.37, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the ALT ((39.7±6.2)U/L, (82.9±43.1)U/L, Z=-2.35, P<0.05) and AST((130.9±28.9)U/L, (472.7±263.3)U/L, Z=-2.64, P<0.05) levels of the chronic stress group increased, especially in AST. Conclusion:Chronic stress cause synchronous damage to the intestine and liver in rats. The mechanism may be related to the results caused by chronic stress such as the changes of the diversity of intestinal flora, the increasing of intestinal permeability, the action of LPS translocated through portal vein blood on TLR4 in liver.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of bone tumors in children, so as to improve the understanding and diagnosis of bone tumors in children.Methods:The clinical data of bone tumors in children hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2009 to December 2018 were collected, with the age ≤ 14 years old.All children′s gender, age, tumor type, location, number of lesions and first symptoms were counted, and the clinical characteristics of bone tumors in children in this area were analyzed.Results:Totally 548 children with bone tumor were collected, with 344 males and 204 females, and the ratio of males to females was 1.69∶1.00, with 462 single cases and 86 multiple cases.Among the multiple cases (86 cases), 82 cases (95.35%) were benign bone tumors.The total number of cases increased with age.The age of different tumors has its own characteristics.Tibia was the most common tumor location (223 in total), followed by femur (177 in total) and humerus (82 in total). According to the classification of tumor nature, there were 478 cases (87.22%) of benign bone tumors, 43 cases (7.85%) of intermediate bone tumors and 27 cases (4.93%) of malignant bone tumors.The incidence of benign bone tumors was significantly higher than that of intermediate and malignant bone tumors, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=72.604, P<0.05). Among the benign bone tumors (478 cases), osteochondroma was the most common (265 cases), accounting for 55.44%; among the intermediate bone tumors (43 cases), aneurysmal bone cyst was the most common (20 cases), occupying 46.51%; among the malignant bone tumors(27 cases), osteosarcoma was the most common (16 cases), accounting for 59.26%.Among the initial symptoms, 268 cases were local masses, and 166 cases were pain, which were significantly higher than that of 79 without symptoms, with 28 lameness, 4 deformity and 3 dysfunction, and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=71.422, P<0.05). Conclusions:The majority of bone tumors patients in children were male, and the incidence increased with age.Benign and solitary are common, and the multiple cases were mainly benign.The most common locations are tibia and femur.The initial symptoms were mainly local mass and pain.Most importantly, the clinical characteristics of different tumors are slightly different.

Objective:To explore the relative concentration changes of oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy Hb) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and brain region activation during emotional face recognition tasks in women with perimenopausal depression.Methods:From February to April 2023, forty perimenopausal women were recruited, including 20 women with perimenopausal depression (experimental group) and 20 women with non-perimenopausal depression (control group). All participants were evaluated by the modified Kupperman score, 24-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-24), and patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9). Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) equipment was used to measure the relative concentration of Oxy-Hb in the PFC in two groups under the emotional face recognition task. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 26.0 software. Data were analyzed by a t-test, rank sum test, and Pearson correlation. Results:There were statistically significant differences in the results of the modified Kupperman score((23.20±3.66), (18.10±1.28)), HAMD-24((15.95±5.47), (3.35±1.84)), and PHQ-9(7.00(5.00, 10.75), 1.50(1.00, 3.00)) scales between the the experimental group and control group ( P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the modified Kupperman score and the HAMD-24 score in the experimental group ( r=0.685, P=0.01). The reaction time of the experimental group in identifying negative and neutral emotional faces was statistically significant compared to the control group( t=4.01, 4.80, both P<0.05). Compared with identifying neutral emotions, PFC activation was stronger in the experimental group and control group when identifying negative emotions ( P<0.05). The PFC activation in the experimental group was stronger than that in the control group when identifying negative emotions ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the activation level between the two groups when identifying neutral emotions ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Women with perimenopausal depression exhibit specificity in emotional processing, with increased PFC activation when identifying negative emotions, impaired emotional processing function of PFC, and dysfunction of aerobic metabolism.
