Choledochojejunostomy is a common surgical method for the treatment of organ diseases such as hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal and pancreatic diseases, but there are many complications related to the operation. Benign biliary-enteric anastomosis stricture (BBES) is the most common long-term complication after operation, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. At present, bile duct reconstruction and endoscopic treatment are the main methods to deal with BBES, but there are some limitations. The new interventional therapy has the advantages of small trauma, good repeatability, high success rate and few complications. It has been applied in many medical centers. The main treatment methods include percutaneous transhepatic biliary balloon dilatation, percutaneous temporary stent placement, percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopy, magnetic compression anastomosis and intrabiliary ablation. Up to now, there is no uniform standard for the choice of interventional therapy for BBES at home and abroad, so it is of great clinical significance to establish a standardized interventional therapy strategy.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy in different occupational populations in a medical college community. METHODS: A total of 719 pregnant women in a medical college community were selected by convenient sampling method and divided into medical staff group(218 women) and non-medical staff group(501 women, including 138 teaching staff subgroup, 129 administrative service staff subgroup and 234 other occupation subgroup). The detection rate of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy were compared among these groups. RESULTS: Among the study subjects with the top five detection rates, high-risk factors of pregnancy were abnormal body mass index, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, scarred uterus and abnormal thyroid function, with the detection rate of 21.4%, 17.5%, 9.7%, 7.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors≥two, adverse pregnancy outcome, adverse fetal outcome, miscarriage and low birth weight in the medical group were significantly lower than those in the non-medical staff group(all P<0.05). The detection rates of pregnancy risk factors, primary screening risk factors, scarred uterus and pregnancy anemia in the teaching staff subgroup were significantly higher than those in the other occupation subgroups(all P<0.008). The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors ≥two and advanced age in the teaching staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). The detection rates of adverse pregnancy outcome and miscarriage in the administrative service staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that occupation, advanced age, parity and scarred uterus were the main influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: There are differences in pregnancy high-risk factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes among different occupational groups. The teaching staff subgroup has a relatively higher detection rate of pregnancy high-risk factors, and the adverse pregnancy outcomes and miscarriage were relatively higher in the administrative service staff subgroup, compared with the medical staff group.

BACKGROUNDDouble plate osteosynthesis is the standard treatment for intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus. However, there is still controversy concerning dual plate positions in terms of providing optimal stability. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical outcomes in patients with type C intra-articular distal humeral fractures using perpendicular and parallel plating methods.

METHODSBetween March 2008 and June 2011, a total of 45 patients with type C distal humerus fractures were treated using two different dual plating methods. Of them, 24 patients were treated by perpendicular plating (group I) and 21 patients were treated by parallel plating (group II). The surgical time, blood loss, and union time were compared between the two groups. The flexion-extension arc, the total range of flexion and extension at the end of follow-up were compared between the two groups. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) was used to determine the elbow functional results.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up. The mean duration of follow-up was 16 months (range 12 - 25 months) in group I and 15.5 months in group II (range 12 - 25 months). There were no significant differences in the surgical time, blood loss, and the bone union time between the two groups. In group I, the mean elbow flexion-extension arc was 101° and the mean MEPS was 85 points. The rate of excellent and good results was 87.5%. In group II, the mean flexion-extension arc was 100° and the mean MEPS was 86.1 points. The rate of excellent and good results was 90.5%. There were no significant differences in the MEPS, flexion-extension arc, and the total range of flexion and extension between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONSPerpendicular and parallel plate configurations with the appropriate surgical techniques can provide anatomical reconstruction and stable fixation of type C intra-articular distal humeral fractures and allow early mobilization of the elbow after an operation. The occurrence of post-operative elbow stiffness can be reduced and good outcomes can be obtained.

OBJECTIVETo explore the P75NTR expression in the mouse testis and its relationship with nestin.

METHODSWe observed the location of the expressions of P75NTR and nestin in the testis of the nestin-GFP transgenic mouse on postnatal day (PND) 5, 14 and 30 using immunofluorescence, and detected the expression levels of P75NTR in the testicular tissue of mice in different age groups by real-time quantitative PCR (RTqPCR) and flow cytometry. Then we cultured the P75NTR positive cells in neural stem cell culture medium and observed their neuronal differentiation capacity by orientation differentiation.

RESULTSImmunofluorescence showed the expressions of P75NTR and nestin in the Leydig cells of the mouse testis. RTqPCR and flow cytometry exhibited the peak of the P75NTR expression on PND 14. The positive rates of P75NTR were (2.88 +/- 0.52), (9.54 +/- 1.81) and (2.63 +/- 0.43)% on PND 5, 14 and 30, respectively. The P75NTR positive cells obtained also expressed nestin and P75NTR and had the capacity of neuronal differentiation.

CONCLUSIONP75NTR and nestin are co-expressed in the Leydig cells of the mouse testis, and the P75NTR positive cells have the ability of neural differentiation, which is presumably attributed to neural crest cells.

OBJECTIVETo explore the race- and gender-specific distribution characteristics of rs1891385A/C and rs10975519C/T polymorphism of interleukin-33 (IL-33) gene in Zhuang and Han populations.

METHODSThe polymorphisms of rs1891385A/C and rs10975519C/T of IL-33 gene in 283 subjects from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were analyzed with single base extension (PCR-SEB) and DNA sequencing to analyze the differences in their distribution frequencies between genders and between Zhuang and Han populations.

RESULTSThree genotypes (AA, AC and CC) were found in rs1891385A/C with frequencies of 64.3%, 32.5% and 3.2%, respectively. The genotype and allele frequencies of rs1891385A/C in this Guangxi population showed no significant difference between Zhuang and Han subpopulations and between genders (P>0.05), but differed significantly from those in European and African black populations (P<0.01). Three genotypes (CC, CT and TT) were identified in rs10975519C/T with frequencies of 34.3%, 53.0%, and 12.7%, respectively, showing no significant ethnic or gender-specific differences in this population (P>0.05). The genotype frequency of rs10975519C/T in this population differed significantly from those in the European and Japanese populations (P<0.01), but the allele frequencies only showed significant differences from those in the European population (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONrs1891385A/C and rs10975519C/T polymorphisms of IL-33 gene show a race-specific difference.

OBJECTIVETo study the distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) gene rs66818855 and rs1078152 in Chinese Guangxi healthy population in comparison with that in different ethnic populations.

METHDOSPolymerase chain reaction-single base extension (PCR-SBE) and DNA sequencing were used to detect the allele and genotype frequencies of AVP gene among 303 Chinese healthy individuals in Guangxi, China, and the results were compared with the reported frequencies in 4 other populations (HapMap-CEU, HapMap-YRI, HapMap-JPT, and HapMap-HCB) from Human Genome Project group (HapMap) data.

RESULTSWe found significant AVP gene polymorphisms in this Guangxi healthy population. The frequencies of allele and genotype of AVP gene rs66818855 and rs1078152 polymorphisms in this Guangxi population differed significantly from those in HapMap-CEU population (P<0.01), and allele frequencies of AVP gene rs66818855 polymorphism differed significantly from those in HapMap-YRI populations (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe distribution pattern of AVP gene polymorphisms in this Guangxi population is significantly different from that in other ethnic populations, which might account for the difference in the morbidity of AVP-related disease among different ethnic groups and may have important indications in the study of population genetics and anthropology.

Objective To evaluate the role of group Ⅱ metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in cognitive decline caused by multiple administrations of ketamine in mice and the relationship with hippocampal glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) expression.Methods Forty-five SPF healthy female C57BL/6 mice,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 20-30 g,were randomized into 3 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table method:control group (group C),ketamine group (group K) and mGluR agonist LY354740 group (group L+K).In K and L+K groups,ketamine 30 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected three times a day at an 30-min interval for 14 consecutive days.LY354740 was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before the first injection of ketamine in group L+K.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C.Morris water maze test was performed the day after the last administration.The mice were then sacrificed,and hippocampi were harvested to determine the expression of GSK3β,NR2A and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased,the expression of GSK3β3 and NR2A was up-regulated,and the expression of PSD95 was down-regulated in group K (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group L+K (P＞0.05).Compared with group K,the escape latency was significantly shortened,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was prolonged,the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased,the expression of GSK3β and NR2A was down-regulated,and the expression of PSD95 was up-regulated in group L+K (P＜0.05).Conclusion Group Ⅱ mGluRs are involved in the process of cognitive decline caused by multiple administrations of ketamine in mice,which is associated with up-regulated expression of hippocampal GSK-3β.

Systematically evaluate the implementation of Specifications of Air Sampling for Hazardous Substances Monitoring (GBZ 159-2004) , so as to provide technical basis for the future standard revision. The semi-structured interview method was used to interview the industry experts from centers for disease control and prevention, occupational disease prevention and control hospitals/institutes, employers, third-party technical service institutions and universities, and the induction method was used to refine the topics and relevant suggestions. Some technical indicators of GBZ 159 are not suitable for the current actual work of occupational health, and need to be revised and improved urgently. The revised GBZ 159 should comply with the current situation of China's industrial development and the development of occupational health testing equipment in the new era, and improve the relevant technical requirements of sampling quality control.
