Objective To examine the expression of cell cycle regulatory protiens in renal tubulointerstitial cells of human glomerulonephritis. Methods Immunohisochemieal studies were performed on 19 specimen from renal biopsy to detect cyclin Dl, cyclin A, p21 and proliferating nuclear antigen (PCNA) . Results Cyclin Dl, cyclin A and p21 were positive in some of tubulointerstitial cells, and showed significant correlations with positive PCNA cells. The numbers of tubular positive cells in both groupsofⅠand Ⅱ degree of histopathological change were more than those of other groups. The numbers of interstitialpositive cells showed significant correlations with the degree of tubulointerstitial histopathological change and the value of urine NAG. Conclusion Cell cycle regulatory proteins regulate the proliferation of tubular and interstitial cells, and correlate with the interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate inspiratory and expiratory high resolution CT (HRCT) lung findings in normal adults and set up inspiratory and expiratory HRCT criterion for further clinical diagnosis and differentiating diagnosis. Methods Sixty-four healthy adults underwent inspiratory and expiratory lung HRCT scanning. The lung density and slice area in upper, middle and lower fields were measured in inspiratory and expiratory phases respectively. Results The lung density in inspiratory phase was (-795?58)HU, the lung density in expiratory phase was (-706?59)HU, the inspiratory expiratory value difference was (90?43)HU, and the expiratory inspiratory area ratio was 0.72? 0.14. Conclusion HRCT will be a new method for lung function testing in future.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different lymph node dissection methods in radical resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) on the number of harvested lymph nodes and prognosis of patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 57 patients with ICC who underwent radical resection in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2011 to January 2016 were collected. There were 25 males and 32 females, aged from 45 to 72 years, with an average age of 59 years. Of the 57 patients, 36 undergoing en bloc fusion lymph node dissection and 21 undergoing conventional lymph node dissection were allocated into observation group and control group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) results of postoperative pathological examination; (3) postoperative complications; (4) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination or telephone interview was performed once every six months after hospital discharge to detect survival of patients up to January 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was done using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact propability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The survival curve and rate were drawn and calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival of patients was analyzed by the Log-rank test. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations: operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, hepatic portal occlusion time, cases with <3 segments of hepatectomy and ≥3 segments of hepatectomy for the observation group were (218±53)minutes, (266±24)mL, (21±9)minutes, 5, 31, respectively, versus (207±45)minutes, (270±23)mL, (19±8)minutes, 2, 19 for the control group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=-0.530, 0.774, 0.590, χ2=0.004, P>0.05). (2) Results of postoperative pathological examination: the number of harvested lymph nodes and percentage of positive lymph nodes of the observation group were 11±3 and 16.58%(66/398), respectively, versus 5±2 and 6.80%(7/103) of the control group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=-9.454, 2.148, P<0.05). (3) Postoperative complications: cases with Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ complications or Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ complications, cases with bile leakage, cases with postoperative hemorrhage, cases with incision infection, cases with gastroparesis were respectively 35, 1, 6, 1, 8, 0 in the observation group and 19, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2 in the control group. There was no significant difference in the cases with complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, cases with bile leakage, cases with incision infection between the two groups ( χ2=0.236, 0.000, 1.870, P>0.05) and no significant difference in the cases with postoperative hemorrhage, cases with gastroparesis between the two groups ( P>0.05). (4) Follow-up: 57 patients were followed up for 5-42 months, with a median time of 36 months. The survival time and postoperative 3-year survival rate were respectively 36 months (range, 8-42 months) and 66.7% of the observation group, versus 23 months (range, 5-39 months) and 38.1% of the control group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-2.253, χ2=5.317, P<0.05). Conclusion:For radical resection of ICC, the en bloc fusion lymph node dissection is beneficial to increase the number of harvested lymph nodes and improve survival rate of patients.
