Objective To review the clinical,histological and diagnostic aspects of 12 documented cases of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver(NRHL),to make this condition be understood and dealt with better. Method Twelve NRHL cases were diagnosed based on liver biopsy from 300 portal hypertension patients who had been underwent splenectomy.Imaging studies were performed as part of the diagnostic evaluation.Clinical manifestation and biochemical tests were recorded at the time of diagnosis.Management and prognosis were also reviewed.Results Most patients were complicated with autoimmune disease,6 cases were diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus and 1 was Crohn's disease and 1 suspected ulcerative colitis.Six cases were treated by prednisone and 3 cases by immunosuppressant.Eleven cases had suffered from portal hypertension.All cases had no history of viral hepatitis.Biochemical tests showed mild increase of liver enzyme and relative normal synthetic liver function.The histological finding was nodular in the hepatic parenehyma,with mild periportal fibrosis,intraportal lymphocytic infiltration,narrow and obstruction of branch of portal vein,and lack of hepatocyte necrosis.All cases were diagnosed liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension before operation.Management was directed to portal hypertension and varices bleeding with satisfactory results.Most of them keep a stable condition during the follow-up. Conclusion The NRHL was uncommon and its cause and pathogenesis was unclear,may be related with immune and hepatic blood circulation disorder.It should be considered in patients with unexplained portal hypertension and distinguished it from liver cirrhosis.Liver biopsy confirms the diagnosis.Management directed to portal hypertension may improve clinical condition.

0.05). Conclusion When TOFR recovers to 0.55,antagonism of residual neuromuscular blockade is still necessary.Different doses of neostigmine may antagonize vecuronium-induced residual neuromuscular blockade,and lower dose of neostigmine(10-20 ?g/kg) is recommended.

A set of primers amplified the VP1 gene of foot-and-mouth disease vims (FMDV) was designed and synthesized. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique detected the RNA of FMDV was established after selecting the best purification method, reagents and reaction conditions. Samples of fresh milk, lymph node, spinal cord, vesicular skin, milk powder, cotton swab, mouse and meat in daughter-house were detected by RT-PCR, positive rates were41.4% (24/58), 13.33% (2/15), 20% (1/5), 100% (1/1), 100% (1/1), 37.5% (12/32), 100% (2/2) and 10% - 70%, respectively. However, positive rate of cockroach detected by RT-PCR was 0. The results showed that the established FMDV RT-PCR technique provided a more sensitive, specific and reliable method for diagnosis and epizootic study of the foot-and-mouth disease.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of phosphotyrosine interaction domain containing 1 (PID1, NYGGF4) on promotion of IR and HCC, and explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Lentivirus were used to mediate the knockdown of PID1 in HFD induced IR mouse model as well as ob/ob mice. Intraperitoneal glucose and insulin tolerance were performed 4 weeks after lentivirus injection. Hydrodynamics-based transfection was applied to inducethe liver specific overexpression of PID1. Flow cytometry was exerted to detect the proportion and function of immune cells. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of downstream pathways of PID1.Immunoprecipitation was used to determine the receptor of PID1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was operated to measure the modification of H3K4me3 of PID1 promoter. RESULTS PID1 restriction improved insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and fatty liver. Conversely, hepatic knockdown of PID1 attenuated liver xenografted tumor growth. Moreover, PID1 liver- specific protooncogenes via hydrodynamics- based transfection established a primary hepatocellular carcinoma mouse model, induced an immunosuppressive environment, with the reduction of CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +T cells, retarded maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), pronounced differentiation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and recruitment of MDSC. In addition, PID1 overexpression activated proliferation related genes, promoted anti- inflammatory genes, suppressed pro-inflammatory genes, induced glycolysis and lipid metabolism genes to facilitate tumorigenesis in liver. Importantly, PID1 exerted its tumor-promoting function through binding to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and activation of downstream MAPK pathway. As such, PID1 exist trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) modification and IR up-regulated the expression of PID1 by activation the H3K4me3 modification. CONCLUSION PID1 is a new gene that exerts both liver cancer-promoting and insulin resistance inducing function. IR accelerates liver cancer development and progression partially dependent on the activation of PID1.

Objective To evaluate the mental status of malignant hematologic patients, explore the morbidity of depression in malignant hematologic patients, and investigate valid interventional treatment on them. Methods 134 malignant hematologic patients were evaluated by SDS and HAMD, and 49 patientswere selected who was diagnosed depressive disorder then randomly divided into 2 groups. One was experimental group and the other control group. The patients of experimental group were treated with antidepressant drug and mental intervention during common therapy, while the patients of control group only took common therapy. The change of immunological function after treatment was detected. Results The morbidity of depression in malignant hematologic patients was 37 %. The scores of SDS and HAMD were significandy decreased and the depressive symptoms were notablely improved in experimental group and there were significant differences after treatment and before treatment (P <0.01), but there was no significant difference in control group (P >0.1). The NPY plasma levels significantly increased after treatment in experimental group(P <0.01), but there was no significant difference in control group(P >0.05); the CD+4/CD+4 values of patients in the experimental group were significantly increased after treatments. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in the experimental group patients between pre-treat and after-treat (P <0,05),but no obvious difference in the patients of control group (P>0.5). Conclusion Mental intervention and antidepressive treatment can improve all of the depression, immunological function and quality of life of malignant hematologic patients.

OBJECTIVE To present the modified intranasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (MIEDCR) and the clinical results. To discuss the modified operative technique and its purpose. METHODS A total of 31 cases (35 eyes) with chronic dacryocystitis who underwent MIEDCR were included in this study. There were 27 female and 4 male. The age was ranged from 9 to 70 years (mean 31 years). The preoperative dacryocystography was taken in all cases. The follow up time was 6 to 20 months. RESULTS Among the 31 cases with chronic dacyocystitis, 4 patients suffered bilateral chronic dacyocystitis. Dacryocystitis related to nasal endoscopic surgery was found in 2 cases (2 eyes). Four cases (5 eyes) had prior laser lacrimal duct surgery. Two patients had external dacrypcystorhinotomy experience. 34 MIEDCR procedures (97.1 %) were successful. Twenty eight patients (32 eyes) were free of their symptoms and kept stoma patency. The shift of mucosal flap was found in one case when Merocel was removed. The rhinostomy of another 2 cases were closed due to mucosal scar and one of them received revision surgery. There were no operative complications. CONCLUSION The preserved nasal mucosal flap which was replaced over the denuded bone would avoid scar formation and hyperostosis and is benefit to gain a satisfied and good clinical effects of dacryocystorhinostomy.

Objective Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is easy to prone to recur and hard to cure and little research has been done on combined treatment on PV.The article was to study the clinical effects of total glucosides of paeony capsules (TGP) combined with acitretin and compound flumethasone on PV as well as the peripheral blood cytokine levels.Methods 126 patients with PV who visited our hospital from October 2015 to January 2017 were randomly divided into combined treatment group (63 cases) and control group (63 cases).Both groups were treated with oral acitretin and topical compound flumethasone, what's more, the compound flumethasone group received oral TGP treatment, 8 weeks for a course.The clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated by the levels of peripheral blood IL-17, IL-18, IL-23, TNF-α level, PASI score and percentage of total skin lesions before and after the treatment.Results After the treatment, the concentration of IL-17, IL-18, IL-23 significantly decreased(P<0.05), which was significantly less in combined treatment group compared with control group (IL-17 [61.18±8.91] vs [78.64±7.85], IL-18 [68.56±17.95] vs [79.49±18.64], IL-23 [70.13±12.16] vs [91.18±16.89] pg/ML)(P<0.05).Moreover, the TNF-α level, the PASI score and the percentage of total skin lesions significantly decreased in both groups after treatment(P<0.05), which was significantly less in combined treatment group compared with control group (TNF-α level [14.47±7.53] vs [23.49±8.12]ng/L, PASI score [4.09±1.29] vs [7.29±5.13], the percentage of total skin lesions [6.17±4.59]% vs [8.09±5.18]%) (P<0.05).Conclusion TGP combined with acitretin and compound flumethasone can significantly enhance the clinical therapeutic effects and effectively regulate the levels of the IL-17, IL-18, IL-23 and TNF-α level, which results in treating psoriasis vulgaris.
