ObjectiveTo investigate the necessity and indication of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in patients with gallstones diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound. MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 1431 patients who were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2013 to December 2017 with the initial diagnosis of gallstones were collected. On admission, abdominal ultrasound found gallstones alone, without other lesions. The patients who were diagnosed with gallstones alone after surgical treatment were enrolled as control group, and those who were diagnosed with gallstones and common bile duct stones were enrolled as experimental group. A logistic regression analysis was performed to establish a predictive model for gallstones with common bile duct stones. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for the predictive model and each index, and the area under the ROC curve was calculated. ResultsFour indices were finally screened out by the logistic regression analysis, i.e., bile duct dilation (χ1), gallbladder enlargement (χ2), direct bilirubin (DBIL) (χ3), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (χ4), and the logistic regression model was Logi(P) = -4.153 + 3.592χ1 + 1.720χ2 + 1.798χ3 + 1.519χ4. In the diagnosis of common bile duct stones missed by color Doppler ultrasound, this model had a sensitivity of 53.4%, a specificity of 99.6%, an accuracy of 925%, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.904, which was significantly better than each index alone. ConclusionMRCP is not necessary for patients diagnosed with simple gallstones by color Doppler ultrasound. However, enlarged gallbladder, a diameter of common bile duct of >0.8 cm, DBil>7 μmol/L, and GGT>40 U/L are independent risk factors for gallstones with common bile duct stones. The logistic regression model established in this study has high sensitivity and specificity and can provide a reference for to decision-making among clinicians.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of paeoniflorin in protection of retinal ischemia injury. Methods Fifty.four male specefic pathogen free ( SPF) degree Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group and paeoniflorin group. Retinal ischemia injury was induced by raising the intraocular pressure of right eyes of rats to 110 mmHg for 30 minutes. The rats of paeoniflorin group were administrated through intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg paeoniflorin each day for 14 days. OCT and electroretinogram ( ERG ) were performed to detect the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer+retinal ganglion cell layer+inner plexiform layer ( NGI) and electrophysiological changes of retina, respectively. Retrograde labelling of retinal ganglion cells ( RGCs ) was used to evaluate the survival number of RGCs. Western blot analysis was used to detect NLRP3,apoptosis.associated speck.like protein containing a caspase activation and recruitment domain (ASC),cleaved caspase 1 (c.caspase 1), IL.18,and IL.1β expression. The use and care of animals complied with the statement of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology ( ARVO ) and Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results The thickness of retinal NGI in model control group was ( 58. 2 ± 1. 7)μm, which was significantly lower than ( 84. 8 ± 1. 9)μm in normal control group and(71. 1±2. 4)μm in paeoniflorin group (both at P<0. 05). The amplitudes of A and B waves in paeoniflorin group and normal control group were significantly higher than those in model control group ( both at P<0. 05 ) . The number of RGC in model control group was significantly lower than that in paeoniflorin group and normal control group ( both at P<0. 05). The relative expressions of NLRP3,ASC,c.caspase 1,IL.18 and IL.1β in model control group were significantly higher than those in normal control group and paeoniflorin group (all at P<0. 05). Conclusions The paeoniflorin can prevent retinal ischemia induced injury of the retina through NLRP3 inflammasomes pathway,which provides a new treatment strategy for clinical therapy.

Objective:
To study the role of alternative complement pathway overactivation in malignant nephrosclerosis.
Methods:
(1) Fifty patients with confirmed malignant nephrosclerosis by renal needle biopsy were enrolled. Meanwhile, twenty-five cases of time-zero renal needle biopsy were enrolled as control subjects. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect alternative complement pathway of the complement initiation factor B, positive regulation factor P, negative regulation factor H, and the complement end products C3a and C5a in the plasma and urine. (2) Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the deposition of the complement end product C5b-9, C4d and mannan binding lectin (MBL) of lectin pathway in the renal biopsies. Double immunofluorescence labeling method was used to assay the deposition of C5b-9 and CD34 (endothelial cell marker) in the arteriolar endothelium and glomerular capillary endothelium.
Results:
(1) The plasma and urine levels of complement factor B, factor P, C3a and C5a in malignant nephrosclerosis patients were significantly higher than those in control subjects (all
