Objective To analyze the clinical effect of biliary-enteric anastomosis and biliary stent to palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods A total of 40 patients with inoperable malignant obstructive jaundice were enrolled in this study,and 20 patients were performed biliary stent placement (stent group),simultaneously 20 patients were performed biliary-enteric anastomosis (operation group).The fatality rate after operation,the level of total bilirubin before treatment and after treatment for 4,7,14 d,the rate of hyperpyrexia,nausea and vomiting,postoperative recurrence of jaundice were compared between two groups.Results There were no dead in two groups.The level of total bilirubin was decreased after treatment,and there was no significant in two groups before treatment and after treatment for 4,7,14 d (P ＞ 0.05).The rate of hyperpyrexia in operation group was significantly lower than that in stent group (0 vs.4/20) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice,the biliary-enteric anastomosis should be performed first if there is no significant contraindication.

AIM: We observed the expression of KDR/Flk1 in post-myocardiac ischemia(MI) SD rats in order to explain the effect of captopril and its relationship with myocardium angiogenesis after long-term administration.METHODS: The MI model was made by LAD ligation.Captopril was administered for 6 weeks.Immuohistological method and FQ-PCR were used to test the myocardium KDR/Flk-1 expression.RESULTS: In captopril group,no inhibitory effect was observed in myocardium factor VIII expression,but KDR/Flk-1 decreased.The copies of KDR/Flk-1 mRNA reduced dramatically when compared to control group,false-operation and normal group(P0.05).CONCLUSION: ACEI down-regulates KDR/Flk-1 and its mRNA expression in ischemic rat myocardium after long-term administration of captopril,but does not inhibit angiogenesis.So we suspect that some other pathways exist,which can not affect by ACEI,or that ACEI just reduces abnormal angiogenesis.

Objective To study the clinical significance of the expression of D-amino acid oxidase(DAO) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) tissues.Methods The gene expression profiles and related clinical data of 214 HCC cases were collected.Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to investigate the association between DAO expression levels,clinical traits,the prognosis.Results Univariate analysis indicated that there were a lower level of blood alpha fetoprotein(AFP,P=0.001),a smaller number of nodules(P=0.042),a better TNM stage(P=0.014),a lower metastasis risk(P=0.001) and a better prognosis(P=0.011)in the samples with high DAO expression.Multivariate analysis also indicated a lower AFP level(OR:0.162,95%CI:0.078-0.336) and metastasis risk(OR:0.140,95%CI:0.069-0.284) in the samples with high DAO expression,as well as a better prognosis(OR:0.833,95%CI:0.700-0.992).Conclusion DAO expression was associated with blood AFP levels,metastasis risk and prognosis in HCC,and its high expression was a protective factor for HCC.

Objective To investigate the effect of high mobility group box‐1(HMGB1) on the migration of vascular smooth cells (VSMCs) and the role of TLR4‐dependent PI3K/Akt pathway in the process .Methods Primary VSMCs were isolated from the thoracic aorta of male SD rats and cultured in vitro .Control group ,TLR4 siRNA transfected group ,control siRNA transfected group and PI3k inhibitor (LY294002) intervention group were stimulated by HMGB1 (0 .1-1 000 .0 ng/mL) .Expression of TLR4 mRNA was detected by RT‐PCR ,protein expression of TLR4 ,Akt ,pAkt ,PI3K were detected by Western blot .Activity of the im‐munoprecipitated PI3K enzyme was assessed in a competitive ELISA .The migration and cell viability of every groups were ob‐served .Results HMGB1 (0 .1 -1 000 .0 ng/mL) stimulated VSMCs migration in a dose‐dependent manner and incubation of VSMCs with 100 ng/mL caused a rapid migration (P< 0 .05) .At the concentrations used ,HMGB1 did not cause any cytotoxic effects (P<0 .05) .Migration of VSMCs toward HMGB1 was significantly inhibited by silencing of TLR4 (P<0 .05) .Pretreated cells with TLR4 siRNA or the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 could markedly block PI3K/Akt pathway activation and VSMCs migration mediated by HMGB1 (both P<0 .05) .Conclusion HMGB1 stimulated VSMCs migration in a dose‐dependent manner and TLR4‐dependent PI3K/Akt signaling pathway played an important role in the migration of VSMCs mediated by HMGB1 .This research indicates that TLR4‐dependent TLR4/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway could be the target in the treatment of obstructive cardiovascu‐lar disease .

Objective : To understand the relationship between sleep duration and low vision among primary and middle school students, so as to provide the reference for promoting eye health of primary and middle school students. Methods : Using stratified cluster sampling method, the students were selected from four primary schools, four junior high schools and three senior high schools in Dinghai, Putuo, Daishan and Shengsi of Zhoushan. The questionnaire for the influencing factors of myopia in the national monitoring and intervention project of common diseases and influencing factors among students in 2019 was used to collect their demography, video display terminal use, outdoor activity, parents'myopia and sleep duration. The multivariate logistic regression model was established to analyze the relationship between sleep duration and low vision among the students. Results : A total of 3 016 questionnaires were sent out, and 2 932 valid ones were returned. The effective rate was 97.21%. There were 1 537 ( 52.42% ) males and 1 395 females ( 47.58% ); 947 ( 32.30% ) primary school students and 1 985 ( 67.70% ) middle school students; 2 328 ( 79.40% ) students with low vision. There were 1 022 ( 34.85% ), 903 (30.80%), 697 ( 23.77% ) and 310 ( 10.57% ) students with the daily sleep duration of <8 hours, 8-<9 hours, 9-<10 hours and ≥10 hours, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of low vision was lower when the daily sleep duration of students was 8-<9 hours ( OR=0.735, 95%CI: 0.561-0.963 ) and 9-<10 hours ( OR=0.605, 95%CI: 0.446-0.825 ). Conclusion Adequate sleep duration is conducive to reduce the risk of low vision among primary and middle school students.

Objective:To study the coronal bone structure matching of distal radius in normal population and some patients with postoperative distal radius fracture, and to explore the clinical significance of coronal bone structure reduction of distal radius fracture.Methods:CT scans of 80 asymptomatic wrists were performed. Mimics 20.0 and 3-Matic research software were used to measure the matching data of coronal bone structure of the distal radius. Total of 44 patients with distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and volar plate fixation were collected. According to the data coronal bone structure of the distal radius, the matching group was in the normal range, and the mismatching group was less than the normal range. X-ray films were used to evaluate fracture healing, humeral height, ulnar angle and palm tilt angle at 3 months and 12 months after operation. The clinical indexes of wrist pain, wrist function, grip strength and activity were recorded in 2 groups. The DASH score was used for evaluation, and statistical comparisons was made between the two groups of related indicators.Results:The coronal bone structure matching value of the distal radius in 80 normal adults was 45.0%±16.2%. All the 44 patients with distal radius fracture were followed up for an average of 16 months. The postoperative wound healing was good, and the bone healing standard was reached 3 months after the operation. 3 months after surgery, radius height, ulnar deviation angle and palmar inclination angle of the mismatched group were all smaller than those of the matched group, but the differences had no statistical significance. The pronation angle in the mismatched group (68.82°±11.62°) was lower than that in the matched group (76.91°±9.14°), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.567, P=0.014). The DASH score in the mismatched group (15.53±2.36) was higher than that in the matched group (13.62±2.52), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.591, P=0.013). 12 months after surgery, the VAS score of the matched group (2.08±2.95) was less than that of the mismatched group (2.95±1.24), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.348, P=0.024). There was no significant difference in wrist range of motion, grip strength and DASH score between the two groups. Conclusion:The coronal bone structure matching of distal radius is about 45.0% in normal population. Early wrist dysfunction, limited pronation, and wrist pain may occur when the postoperative matching degree of the distal radius fracture is not within the normal range.
