Pancreatoblastoma is a rare primary pancreatic neoplasm of children that may arise in any portion of the pancreas. We report a case of a 3-yr-old boy who presented to with abdominal pain our hospital and a progressive bulge in his right abdomen. Biochemical evaluation and serum levels of tumoral markers were within reference limits. On the computed tomography, two tumors were found. One located in the head of the pancreas; however, a laparotomy revealed that the head of pancreas was compressed but normal. The other was in the left abdomen near the spleen and the tail of the pancreas. The diagnosis of two synchronous pancreatoblastoma originating from the omentum was confirmed by pathology. Therefore, a pancreatoblastoma should be considered when a large well-defined, lobulated, and heterogeneous mass is identified in the pancreas of children. In addition, an ectopic pancreatoblastoma should be considered when identified within or near the ectopic pancreatic tissue.

OBJECTIVETo study the changes of nutrient contents in Chinese goldthread soil before and after planting Coptis chinensis.
METHODThe soil in Shizhu, Chongqing, was analyzed for nutrient contents.
RESULT AND CONCLUSIONThe results indicated that the preplanted soil was strongly acidic and the levels of organic matter, total nitrogen and potassium were high. However, the content of total phosphorus was very low; so were the contents of other eleven nutrients. Variations of nutrients except zinc and molybdenum were large. After four years of planting C. chinensis, the soil pH was increased. Contents of organic matters, manganese, zinc and boron were increased, while the contents of iron and copper were decreased. In general, the variance coefficient of all nutrient elements and the difference of soil fertility were decreased.

Waste hops are good sources of flavonoids. Extraction of flavonoids from waste hops (SC-CO(2) extracted hops) using supercritical fluids technology was investigated. Various temperatures, pressures and concentrations of ethanol (modifier) and the ratio (w/w) of solvent to material were tested in this study. The results of single factor and orthogonal experiments showed that at 50 degrees C, 25 MPa, the ratio of solvent to material (50%), ethanol concentration (80%) resulted in maximum extraction yield flavonoids (7.8 mg/g). HPLC-MS analysis of the extracts indicated that flavonoids obtained were xanthohumol, the principal prenylflavonoid in hops.

Objective To review the existing literature and quantitatively evaluate the association of circulating vaspin levels and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus ( GDM) . Methods We systematically searched the PubMed,EMBASE,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,and WanfangData databases up to June 2019. Pooled standardized mean differences ( SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals ( CIs) were calculated using random- or fixed-effects models based on the heterogeneity of studies. Subgroup analyses,Meta-regression,sensitivity and publication bias were assessed to analyze the heterogeneity and the robustness of the results. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA 12.0. Results Nine articles ( 11 comparisons) published from 2013 to 2019 were included in our final Meta-analysis,covering a total of 738 patients with GDM and 661 normal pregnant women. There was significant difference in the overall maternal circulating vaspin levels between GDM patients and healthy pregnant women ( SMD= 0.613,95% CI: 0.044-1.182,P= 0.035) . Subgroup analyses stratified by trimester in which vaspin was measured and whether BMI was matched suggested the similar trend to the overall result. Subgroup analysis according to ethnicity found that circulating vaspin level might not be related to GDM in " European" subgroup; sensitivity analysis by excluding moderate-quality studies and BMI-unmatched studies found that circulating vaspin levels were still related to GDM risk. Conclusions Our Meta-analysis indicated that maternal circulating vaspin levels might be positively correlated with the risk of GDM in Asians.
