Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of the inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion(SIADH) syndrome after cerebral injury. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12 patients suffered from SIADH after cerebral injury. The clinical features were similar to common hyponatremia, no specific manifestation. Most of the hyponatremia were detected by routine examination. The first of all,sodium losing in these patients with hyponatremia was routine supplied according the amont of true salt losing.If natremia was not raised or still more descended 2～3 days after treatment, and amount of supplying salt was correspond to that of natriuresis, SIADH should be considered,using restricting water therapy,substituted for salt supplement.furosemide plus albumin were the first choice for dehydration therapy. Results 24～48h after restricting water and natrium, 12 patient's natremia level was back up in different degree. Except for 2 death whose natremia was not corrected completely, 8 patient's natremia was corrected completely in 1 week, 1 patient's in 14 days, and 1 in 3 months after injury. Conclusions Diagnosis of SIADH is very difficult before treatment, but effective treatment can be obtained if we adopt correcting strategy. In these patients, the diagnosis of SIADH was confirmed with the course of treatment,we call it as therapeutic diagnosis.

In this paper, microcrystalline cellulose WJ101 was used as a model material to investigate the effect of various process parameters on granule yield and friability after dry granulation with a single factor and the effect of comprehensive inspection process parameters on the effect of granule yield and friability, then the correlation between process parameters and granule quality was established. The regress equation was established between process parameters and granule yield and friability by multiple regression analysis, the affecting the order of the size of the order of the process parameters on granule yield and friability was: rollers speed > rollers pressure > speed of horizontal feed. Granule yield was positively correlated with pressure and speed of horizontal feed and negatively correlated rollers speed, while friability was on the contrary. By comparison, fitted value and real value, fitted and real value are basically the same of no significant differences (P > 0.05) and with high precision and reliability.

Objective To investigate the dynamic characteristic changes of gastrointestinal mucosa and its relationship with disease progression in rats with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Fifty-six male Wistar rats were selected as the study subjects, and they were divided into three groups: normal control, sham operation and cerebral infarction model groups by random number table method. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was prepared by the modified Longa thread embolic method. The levels of gastrin (GAS) were monitored in each group after modeling for 24 hours, 4 days and 7 days; after the rats were killed, the sections of gastric antrum and small intestine were taken and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining method, the histopathological changes of gastric and small intestinal mucosa were observed under light microscope, in the mean time the gastric and small intestinal mucosal pathological scores were also performed, and the differences of pathological scores among the three groups were compared. Results There were no statistical significant differences in GAS, gastrointestinal mucosa and small intestinal mucosal pathological scores between the normal control group and sham operation group at each time point (all P > 0.05); the GAS level in cerebral infarction model group was decreased gradually with time prolongation, reaching the lowest level 7 days after modeling, but the GAS level in cerebral infarction model group was significantly higher than that in normal group and shamoperation group (ng/L: 205.02±7.68 vs. 130.51±8.03, 145.29±7.68, both P < 0.05). The pathological scores of gastrointestinal mucosa and small intestinal mucosa in the cerebral infarction model group were increased first and then decreased with time prolongation, peaked on 4th day and decreased significantly on 7th day, the pathological scores of gastrointestinal mucosa and small intestinal mucosa in the cerebral infarction model group at each time point were significantly higher than those in the normal control group and sham-operated group (gastric mucosal pathological score: 82.50±2.95 vs. 21.38±1.57, 36.10±3.41; small intestinal mucosal pathological score: 62.00±2.78 vs. 18.25±1.39, 25.55±1.75, all P < 0.05). Under light microscopy, the normal control group showed complete normal morphological appearance, normal structure, orderly arrangement of villi and no infiltration of inflammatory cells; in shamoperation group, inflammatory cells infiltrated the lamina propria at each time point, and there were villi slightly uneven, enlarged stroma, congestion, edema occasionally seen and no obvious ulcer; in cerebral infarction model group, the various layers of gastrointestinal mucosal were not very clear, the glands were arranged irregularly and the capillaries dilated, and in part of tissues, congestion, hemorrhage, edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were seen obviously. Conclusion The injury of gastrointestinal mucosa in acute stage of cerebral infarction should be related to the stress stimulation and disease progress of cerebral infarction itself, not due to the abnormal secretion of GAS.

To study the clinical and pathological characteristics and prognostic factors of primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PBDLBCL). Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 62 patients with PBDLBCL from January 2006 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for univariate analysis and the Cox regression model for multivari-ate analysis. Results: The 62 patients analyzed included women aged 26-71 years, with a median age of 47 years. Patients were fol-lowed up from 6 to 105 months; the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 71.0%, and 5-year OS rate was 51.0%. The univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in the clinical stage, lactic acid dehydrogenase level, International Prognostic Index score, Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression, and chemotherapy regimen at 3 and 5 years associated with OS rates. The multivariate analysis showed that Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression was an independent prognostic factor of OS. Conclusions: Comprehensive treatment with chemo-therapy and radiotherapy is appropriate for PBDLBCL. Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression is an independent adverse prognostic factor for PB-DLBCL.

Objective: To provide the normal value of atlas (C₁) inner sagittal diameter in adults thus defining the diagnostic value of developmental canal stenosis at C₁ and to establish the Jishuitan (JST) morphological classification for C₁ developmental canal stenosis in craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies. Methods: From December 2010 to November 2018, 101 patients with various CVJ anomalies (50 males, 51 females; mean age 48.8±12.9 years, range 15-78 years; the anomaly group) and 857 patients with normal CVJ (461 males, 396 females; mean age 50.2±8.3 years, range 21-79 years; the normal group) were enrolled in a retrospective study. In the anomaly group, 92 cases of atlantoaxial dislocation were furtherly divided into three subgroups according to Wadia classification: atlantoaxial dislocation with os odontoideum (OO subgroup, n=33), atlantoaxial dislocation with occipitalization of the atlas (OA subgroup, n=24), atlantoaxial dislocation without both OO and OA (AAD subgroup, n=35); the rest of the anomaly group was combined with Chiari malformation (CM subgroup, n=9). The range of C₁ inner sagittal diameter in each group was measured via CT scan images. The normality of C₁ inner sagittal diameter of each group was tested via Shapiro-Wilk method. T test was performed on C₁ inner sagittal diameter of each group. The diagnostic value of C₁ developmental canal stenosis was defined as the lower bound of 95% confidence interval (CI) for the mean of the normal group. The C₁ morphology of developmental canal stenosis cases in anomaly group were analyzed via CT scan images thus establishing the JST morphological classification for C₁ developmental canal stenosis in CVJ anomalies. Results: The mean C₁ inner sagittal diameter was 29.05±1.60 mm (range, 24.05-33.50, 95%CI: 25.91-32.19). C₁ developmental canal stenosis was defined as C₁ inner diameter ≤ 25.91 mm. The mean C₁ inner sagittal diameter of the whole anomaly group was 26.84±2.04 mm (95%CI: 22.84-30.84), which differed significantly from that in the the normal group (t=10.504, P< 0.01). A total of 33 cases meeting the criteria of C₁ inner diameter ≤ 25.91 mm were diagnosed as C₁ developmental canal stenosis, including 14 cases of the OO subgroup, 4 cases of the OA subgroup, 15 cases of the AAD subgroup and none of the CM subgroup. Based on the C₁ morphological characteristics of 33 cases, the JST classification of C₁ developmental canal stenosis in CVJ anomalies was established, which could be divided into type I-III. Type I: little atlas type, 84.9% (28/33), normal C₁ posterior arch morphology without C₁ occipitalization; Type II: atlas posterior arch incurving type, 3.0%(1/33), C₁ posterior arch incurves towards spinal canal, without C₁ occipitalization; Type III atlas occipitalization type, 12.1% (4/33), furtherly divided into: type IIIa with normal C₁ posterior arch morphology; type IIIb with incurving C₁ posterior arch. Conclusion The normal value of C₁ inner sagittal diameter in adults was from 24.05 to 33.50 mm. The criteria of C₁ inner sagittal diameter ≤ 25.91 mm can be used as the radiographic diagnostic value of C₁ developmental canal stenosis. C₁ developmental canal stenosis in CVJ anomalies can be classified according to the JST classification system.

Objective:To evaluate the mechanism of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) agonist-induced protection of the intestine in rats undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the relationship with the activity of enteric glial cells (EGCs).Methods:Seventy-two clean-grade adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 400-500 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group S), CPB group (group C) and α7nAChR agonist PHA568487 plus CPB group (group P). In group P, PHA568487 0.8 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected, and 30 min later CPB model was established.At the beginning of CPB (T 0), at 1 h of CPB (T 1), and at 2 and 6 h after termination of CPB (T 2, 3), the rats were sacrificed, and intestinal tissues were obtained for examination of the pathological changes and for determination of the expression of ZO-1, occludin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and calcium-binding protein (S-100β protein) by Western blot.The immunohistochemical method was used to observe the positive expression of GFAP at T 2. Results:Compared with group S, the expression of GFAP and S-100β protein was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of ZO-1 and occludin was down-regulated at T 1-3( P<0.05), the positive expression of GFAP was increased, and the intestinal tissue injury was accentuated in C and P groups.Compared with group C, the expression of GFAP, ZO-1 and occludin was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of S-100β protein was down-regulated at T 1-3( P<0.05), the positive expression of GFAP was increased, and the intestinal tissue injury was reduced in group P. Conclusion:The mechanism by which α7nAChR agonist attenuates intestinal injury may be related to activating EGCs and improving intestinal barrier function in rats undergoing CPB.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) in the treatment of non-circumferential severe calcification using the distal embolic protection device.Methods:Clinical data of patients with severe calcification lesions in cervical carotid artery treated by CAS from Jan 2018 to Dec 2020 at our center was analyzed retrospectively.Results:226 consecutively admitted patients of cervical carotid artery stenosis and non-circumferential severe calcification (CR>270°) underwent CAS using the distal embolic protection device. The technical success rate was 90.26%. No death or myocardial infarction occurred during the perioperative period. Two patients had ipsilateral hemiparesis ischemic stroke during post-dilatation. The incidence of perioperative bradycardia/hypotension was 25.34%. Patients were followed up for 6-36 months, with median follow-up period of 17.3 months. The incidence of mild or moderate in-stent restenosis (<70%) was 16.59%, and the incidence of severe in-stent restenosis or occlusion (>70%) was 3.22%.Conclusions:For carotid artery stenosis with non-circumferential severe calcification in high risk for CEA patients, carotid artery stenting is safe and effective with the aggressive pre-dilation strategies, strict stent selections and implantation standards. The incidence of perioperative death, myocardial infarction or ipsilateral hemiparesis ischemic stroke was low. The patency rate of the carotid stent in the calcification lesion is satisfactory during the mid-term follow-up.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is one of the most common retinal complications of diabetes could cause irreversible loss of central vision in the working-age population. Current studies showed that systemic risk factors, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress played a central role in the development of DR. Although traditional sequencing methods have provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis of DR, offering crucial guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment, they still possess certain limitations. In recent years, the emerging single-cell RNA sequencing technology(scRNA-seq)has enabled precise analysis of mRNA transcriptomes at the single-cell level. This technique accurately identifies novel cell subtypes in retinal diseases, detects rare cells, and reveals intercellular heterogeneity. It contributes to elucidating the pathogenesis and development of retinal diseases, and facilitates exploration of gene regulatory relationships associated with these disorders to provide valuable insights for future precision medicine. This article reviews the technology of single-cell sequencing and its application in DR research. It also explores the mechanisms of different types of cells associated with DR, aiming to enhance the utilization of scRNA-seq in DR research and identify potential therapeutic targets to improve clinical diagnosis and treatment of DR.
