Objective To study the therapeutic methods of cholecystic duct stones. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 158 cases of cholecystic duct stones treated in the recent 6 years was made. Results 97 of the 158 cases of cholecystic duct stones were removed by open surgical operation and 61 cases by laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).In 49 of the 61 cases treated with LC,the cholecystic duct stones were removed together with removal of the gallbladder, and 12 by duodenoscopy after LC. Conclusions One should strive to extract the cholecystic duct stones while removing the gallbladder. If the stones or stone fragments escape into the common bile duct, they could be removed through a choledochotomy at the time of the open operation ,or by postoparative duodenoscopy in cases undergoing LC. The latter method of treatment is associated with minor trauma, quick recovery and definite therapeutic results.

Objective To assess the status of mental health of nursing students of secondary technical school and provide targeted guidance for mental health education. Methods 642 nursing students of secondary technical school were assessed using Mental Health Diagnostic Test Scale (MHT Scale). Results There were 0.78% of nursing students with serious psychological problems (scores≥65), 4.52% of nursing students with less serious psychological problems (scores < 65 and≥ 56). Students in different grades had significant difference in learning anxiety, allergic tendency, physical symptoms anxiety. Conclusions Nursing students of secondary technical school were in good mental health in general, but there were many students had learning anxiety, allergic tendencies and physical symptoms anxiety, which were different among various grades. Secondary nursing schools should further strengthen the mental health education, and seek close collaboration with parents,provide appropriate intervention measures to the nursing students with psychological barriers, in order to enhance the overall mental health of nursing students.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the level of serum C-peptide(C-P)with albumin-to-creatinine ratio(ACR)and nerve conduction velocity(NCV)in patients with T2DM.Methods The study included 132 patients with T2DM and 30 healthy controls.The NCV,ACR,fasting C-P and C-P at 2hOGTT(FC-P and 2hC-P)and plasma glucose(PG)were measured.The patients were separated into three groups of Ⅰ(45 cases),Ⅱ(52 cases)and Ⅲ(35 cases).The patients were further classified into two groups of normal NCV(70 cases)and abnormal NCV(62 cases).Results ①The differences of FC-P and 2hC-P among the ACR groups were significant(all P<0.05).②The ACR was correlated with course,2hC-P,2hPG significantly(all P<0.01).The sequence of the impact degree on ACR was from course(Beta:0.592)to 2hC-P(Beta:-0.297)and to 2hPG(Beta:0.201).③The levels of serum 2hC-P were significantly and gradually decreased in the groups of NCV(P<0.01).④The serum 2hC-P concentration was associated with ACR and NCV in different stages(P<0.01).Conclusions ①The level of serum C-P is tightly correlated with the vascular and neural dysfunction in T2DM.②Course,2hPG and 2hC-P may be the risk factors for ACR

Objective To cleave double-stranded RNA(dsRNA) into small interference RNAs(siRNAs) that can target multiple sites within an mRNA.Methods A549 cells were isolated to incubate with 5 g/L IL-1? for different times to detect the time-dependent expression of COX-2.To generate the long dsRNA,the COX-2 gene(728 bp) was amplified by PCR with a specific forward primer that contained a T7 promoter and a specific reverse primer that contained an SP6 promoter.Then,sense strand RNAs were generated by T7 RNA polymerase and antisense strands RNAs were generated by SP6 RNA polymerase.These single strands RNAs were annealed by the standard method.We mixed dsRNA with Dicer in reaction buffer.We recovered siRNAs using RNA Purification Column.Transfections with diced siRNAs were performed using the TransMessenger Transfection Reagent in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.COX-2 mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.PGE2 was measured by ELISA.Results IL-1? induced COX-2 protein expression in A549 cells.We recovered siRNAS that have been generated in vitro by Dicer.D-siRNAs significantly suppress the expression of COX-2 in human pulmonary epithelial.Conclusion D-siRNAs significantly suppress the expression of COX-2 in human pulmonary epithelial.

Objective BOLD-fMRI was used to observe the activated auditory cortex evoked by pure tone stimuli in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and this paper is to discuss the objective measure for patient with sensorineural hearing toss. Methods BOLD-fMRI examinations were taken in 22 patients with unilateral moderate to severe sensorneural hearing loss and 15 control subjects. The volumes and intensities of the two hemispheres of the activated auditory cortex were analyzed quantitatively. Results Significant activation was found in the temporal lobe in control subjects, and significant differences in the volume and intensity were noted between the contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes in them (P<0.01), exhibiting clearly eontralateral predominance. When the normal ear of patients with sensorineural hearing loss received signals, there was no significant difference be-tween contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes (P>0.05). Conclusion When the normal ear of pa-tients with sensorneural hearing loss was stimulated by pure tone, the contralateral hemisphere predominance disap-peared. This result seems to show the plasticity of auditory cortex of patients with unilateral hearing loss.

Objective: To observe the effect of mild moxibustion on cancer-related fatigue, serum ghrelin and adiponectin in patients undergoing chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: Seventy patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were treated with conventional FOLFOX4 chemotherapy regimen. Patients in the control group also received routine treatments such as symptomatic treatment of complications, health education, nutritional support, and exercise intervention. Patients in the observation group received mild moxibustion on the basis of interventions used in the control group. The Piper fatigue scale-revision (PFS-R), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) and spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome were scored, and serum ghrelin and adiponectin levels were measured before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, total score of PFS-R in the control group did not change significantly (P>0.05), while in the observation group it was significantly reduced (P<0.05) and lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); KPS scores in both groups were increased (both P<0.05), and it was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); total score of spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome in the control group did not change significantly (P>0.05), while it was significantly reduced in the observation group (P<0.05) and lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); serum ghrelin and adiponectin levels in the control group had no significant changes (both P>0.05), but the levels were significantly increased in the observation group (both P<0.05) and higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the routine treatments, mild moxibustion can relieve fatigue, improve quality of life, and improve the symptoms of spleen and kidney yang deficiency in patients undergoing chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery, which may be related to the regulation of serum ghrelin and adiponectin levels.

Antimicrobial peptides are a class of small peptides with anti-extrogenous pathogen activities.They are derived from organism and possess antibacterial,antifungus,antiviruses and anticancer cell actions.In recent years,it’s found that some microbial pathogens are able to resist antimicrobial peptides.The constitutive and inducible mechanism of a pathogen resists a given peptide were reviewed in this paper.

BACKGROUND:intervertebral disc degeneration can reduce nucleus pulposus cells,and peroxiredoxin II involved in the regulation of resist oxidation damage,cell division,differentiation,signal transduction and apoptosis.Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ has promotive effect on intervertebral disc degeneration,whereas the mechanism remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of perexiredoxin Ⅱ on human intevertebral disc cells activity and type Ⅱ collagen synthesis in vitro.METHODS:Human degenerated human lumbar disc cells were cultured in vitro,and assigned into the control and peroxidase Ⅱ groups.Peroxidase Ⅱ with doses of 10,100 and 1 000 ng/L were added into the peroxidase Ⅱ groups.The cells were identified by immunohistochemical staining,and the cell proliferation was detected using cck-8 kit.Cell supematant was collected at days 3 and 7 after operation,and the expression of type Ⅱ collagen was measured by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro cultured human degenerative lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells by adding peroxidase increased with the dose-Ⅱ,the disc nucleus pulposus cells of the volume and type Ⅱ collagen synthesis gradually reduced(P ＜ 0.01).Tips peroxidase Ⅱ on the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells,the number and type Ⅱ collagen synthesis significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner.Thus speculated that peroxidase Ⅱ on the nucleus pulposus cells in vitro may lead to disc degeneration as a precipitating factor.

Objective:To investigate the number and distribution of macrophages (Mφ) and natural killer(NK) cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), paraneoplastic,cirrhosis and normal liver tissues and their relationship with the prognosis of HCC patients.　Methods:Surgical specimens from 60 cases of HCC, 62 cases of cirrhosis and 23 cases of normal liver tissues were investigated by immunohistochemical staining of CD68 and CD57 with a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase detective system.The correlation of the number of Mφ and NK cells in different tissues with the clinical tumor parameters was also studied.　Results:①The order of the number of Mφ from the highest to the lowest was:paraneoplastic,cirrhosis, normal, HCC(P<0.05)；and the number of NK cells from the highest to the lowest was:HCC, paraneoplastic, normal, cirrhosis(P<0.05).②The number of Mφ decreased successively with the decrease of the HCC differentiation(P<0.05)；There was no relationship between the number of NK cells in HCC and histological grade. ③There was no relationship between the number of Mφ in HCC and clinical TNM stage ；The number of NK cells in HCC had degressive tendency with the clinical TNM stage(P<0.05). ④The number of Mφ and NK cells in HCC in the cases with metastasis in 15 months was significantly lower than that without metastasis(P<0.05, 0.01）.⑤There was a linear positive correlation between the number of Mφ and NK cells in HCC (r＝0.344, P<0.05).　Conclusion:The number of Mφ and NK cells in HCC in the cases with metastasis is significantly lower than that without metastasis；The number of Mφ has a close correlation with the HCC differentiation, and positive correlation with the number of NK cells；The number of Mφ and NK cells might be important markers to estimate the immune status and useful factors to predict the prognosis of HCC patients.
