Objective To observe the effects of fenofibrate and pioglitazone on the expressions of PPAR- α, PPAR-γ, and intracellular signaling molecules in pancreatic islets of obese rats induced by high-fat diets. Methods SD obese rat models were established with high-fat diet, and 40 male rats were assigned to 4 groups including high-fat diet (HF group), high-fat diet with fenofibrate (FF group), pioglitazone (FP group) treatment, and control rats with normal diet (NC group). After 8 weeks intervention, immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expressions of various proteins in islets; At the same time, islets mass were scored in tissue slides. Results Islets mass enlarged in HF group. The compositions of islet cells were the same as the control. The expression of insulin was lower in HF group than the control, but after using pioglitazone, less islets mass and more insulin expression were found in FP group. Compared with the control group, expressions of PPAR-α, PPAR-γ protein were reduced in HF group, and the expression of PPAR-α protein increased in FF group, and the expression of PPAR-γ protein was increased in FP group. The levels of NF-кB, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), ERK1 proteins increased significantly in HF group, the expressions of NF-кB, p38 MAPK decreased in FF and FP groups, and the level of ERK1 decreased only in FP group, the protein level of I-кB showed no difference among control, HF group, and FF groups. Conclusion Fenofibrate and pioglitazone may partially protect islet cells function and improve survival by correcting the disturbance of intracellular signaling molecules.

This investigation was made to assess the effect of iron overload on function of pancreatic islet cells in Wistar rats. Sixty-five male rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group A received repeated intraperitoneal (i. p.) injections of ferric nitrilotriacetate (FeNTA); Group B received the equivalent dose of Na2 NTA; Group C received i. p. injection of Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid in addition to FeNTA; and Group D rats were untreated controls. Glucose tolerance tests were performed at the beginning, 5th week, and 10th week. Serum iron(SI) and serum ferritin (SF) were measured. The pancreatic tissues were taken for immunohistochemical exam; the levels of Insulin, Glucagon, ss in islets were also evaluated. At the 10th week, the levels of plasma glucose at 2 hours after glucose load in groups A and C were higher than those in groups B and D (P = 0.043); the granules of insulin in beta cells of group A were decreased obviously, the area of islets of group A was smaller than those of other groups (P = 0. 000). Iron overload might influence glycometabolism. And the beta cells' capability to secrete insulin was decreased obviously. Therefore, by way of removing iron, it is possible to protect the rat's glycometabolism to some extent.

Objective:
To investigate the role of short-term starvation (STS) in alleviating hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice and possible mechanism of action.
Methods:
Wild-type male C57BL/6 mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into 75% hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group (IR group), STS+75% hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group (STS group), and sirtinol+STS+75% hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group (SIR group), using a random number table, and sham-operation groups (IR-Sham group, STS-Sham group, and SIR-Sham group) were also established. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured, and the histomorphological changes of the liver were observed, as well as the expression of Sirt1, LC3B, and P62 proteins in liver tissue and the results of LC3B fluorescence staining. An analysis of variance was used for comparison of data between multiple groups, and the t-test was used for comparison of data between two groups.
Results:
Compared with the IR group, the STS group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT (3 152.7 ± 735.6 U/L vs 8 414.2 ± 1 052.2 U/L,

Objective:To compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) versus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The medical literatures on LH and RFA for HCC were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, VIP, Wanfang, CNKI and other electronic databases. The retrieval date was from database construction to June 7, 2021. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, studies were extracted by two authors, and Revman 5.3 software was used to conduct a meta-analysis to compare differences in operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, total complications, overall survival and disease-free survival outcomes between the LH group and the RFA group.Results:Of 3 690 patients who were included in 32 studies, there were 1 708 patients in the LH group and 1982 patients in the RFA group. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the LH group, the RFA group had significantly shorter surgical duration ( MD=-86.41, 95% CI: -116.21--56.60), less blood loss ( MD=-213.22, 95% CI: -273.43--153.00), shorter hospital stay ( MD=-3.23, 95% CI: -4.13--2.32), and lower incidence of complications ( OR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.26-0.43). However, local recurrence rate was significantly higher ( OR=1.83, 95% CI: 1.38-2.41). (All P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate of the LH group was significantly better than the RFA group ( OR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.51-0.90, P=0.008). Conclusion:LH provided better overall survival outcomes and lower local recurrence rates than RFA in HCC patients.

Objective:To analyze the results of plague surveillance in Qinghai Province from 2011 to 2020, master the epidemic situation in recent years, and provide scientific basis for prevention and control of the plague in the future.Methods:The human plague epidemic data (from the human case database of Qinghai Institute for Endemic Disease Prevention and Control) and animal plague epidemic data (from plague monitoring data and plague focus survey data of Qinghai Province) from 2011 to 2020 were collected and analyzed with descriptive epidemiological methods, including human plague epidemic, animal plague epidemic regional distribution, host animal monitoring results, pathogenic monitoring results and serological monitoring results.Results:From 2011 to 2020, there was a human plague epidemic in Qinghai Province, which was infected due to the infection of a middle finger of the right hand that was accidentally scratched when peeling marmots, and Yersinia pestis was isolated from heart, liver, lung, lymph node puncture fluid, tracheal secretion and throat swab samples of the deceased. There were 16 animal plague epidemics and endemic areas were distributed in Haixi Prefecture, Yushu Prefecture and Haibei Prefecture, among which the animal plague epidemic was the most prevalent in Haixi Prefecture, with 13 outbreaks in recent 10 years. According to the monitoring of host animals, the main host animal was the Himalayan marmot, with an average density of 0.07/hm 2. Pathgenic monitoring showed that 31 strains of Yersinia pestis were isolated, of which 27 strains were isolated from Haixi Prefecture. The host animals of Yersinia pestis were mainly Himalayan marmot, accounting for 77.42% (24/31) of the total. Serological monitoring showed that 66 plague F1 antibody positive sera were detected, of which 43 were dog positive sera; the Himalayan marmot took the second place, 20. Conclusion:From 2011 to 2020, the animal plague in Qinghai Province has continued for many years, with some areas showing an active trend, and the overall situation of plague prevention and control is severe.
