Objective To investigate the expressions of IL-8,MCP-1 and MIP-1? and their biological significance in pancreatic carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis, and investigate the relationships of their expressions in pancreatic cancer tissues.Methods Immunohistochemical method of avidin-biotin complex was used to examine surgically removed specimens from 51 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and 10 cases of chronic pancreatitis. Results The positive rates of expression and the scorings of IL-8,MCP-1,MIP-1? were significantly higher in pancreatic carcinoma than that in chronic pancreatitis(P

Objective To apply 3C3R model in problem design of PBL for pediatrics teaching.Methods The 3C3R model comprises two classes of components:core components and processing components.Core components of the model are 3C,which are content,context and connection while processing components are 3R,which are researching,reasoning and reflecting.3C3R model was used in the problem design for the PBL case of ‘ Why the mouth of Baobao became purple when he was crying?' Totally 76 eight-year program medical students and 7 tutors were enrolled as teaching object.The anonymous questionnaires from the students were collected for assessment of PBL teaching.Results The percentage of students with scores ≥4 for content in PLB problem design was 90.8％,for context was 80.3％,for connection was 64.5％,for researching was 81.6％,for reasoning was 69.7％ and for reflecting was 40.8％.The percentage of tutors with scores ≥4 for content in PLB problem design was 100％,for context was 71.4％,for connection was 28.6％,for researching was 71.4％,for reasoning was100％,for reflecting was57.1％.Both students and tutors held a positive attitude towards the component of content,context,researching and reasoning in problem design model.But the components of connection and reflection needed to be improved.Conclusion The 3C3R model is helpful for problem design of PBL in pediatric teaching.

Objective To investigate the value of MRI in thmmbolytic thempy of hyperacute cerebral arterial thrombosis.Methods One hundred and sixteen patients with acute cerebral arterial thrombosis were recruited.plain CT and multi.modal MRI were performed in all patients.Thirty-three patients with hyperacute cerebral infarction were treated bv recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA) and followed-up periodically using MRI.Results The 33 patients with thrombolysis selected by MRI demonstrated clinical improvement.90 d moclified Rankin scale scores(mRs)were less than 2 and life quality Barthal indexes(BI)were from 80 to 100.The complication included one asymptomatic parenchymal hematoma(PH1)one weeks after thrombolytic therapy and 4(12.2%)hemorrhagic infarction(HI)6 to 24 hours after thrombolytic therapy.Condusions MRI has significant clinical value for the screening and follow-up of intravenous thrombolytic therapy of hyperacute ischemic stroke.MRI-based thrombolysis is a safe and effective method for hyperacute ischemic stroke.

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the chronological changes in postoperative complications in surgical ulcerative colitis patients over the past decade in China and to investigate the potential parameters that contributed to the changes. Methods: Ulcerative colitis patients who underwent surgery during 2008–2017 were retrospectively enrolled from 13 hospitals in China. Postoperative complications were compared among different operation years. Risk factors for complications were identified by logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 446 surgical ulcerative colitis patients were analyzed. Fewer short-term complications (24.8% vs. 41.0%, P=0.001) and more laparoscopic surgeries (66.4% vs. 25.0%, P<0.001) were found among patients who received surgery during 2014–2017 than 2008–2013. Logistic regression suggested that independent protective factors against short-term complications were a higher preoperative body mass index (odds ratio [OR], 0.870; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.785–0.964; P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR, 0.391; 95% CI, 0.217–0.705; P=0.002) and elective surgery (OR, 0.213; 95% CI, 0.067–0.675; P=0.009). The chronological decrease in short-term complications was associated with an increase in laparoscopic surgery. Conclusions Our data revealed a downward trend of short-term postoperative complications among surgical ulcerative colitis patients in China during the past decade, which may be due to the promotion of minimally invasive techniques among Chinese surgeons.
