Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant liver tumor with strong invasion and poor prognosis. ICC originates from the bile duct and locates in the liver, so it is classified as either primary liver cancer or cholangiocarcinoma, which the classification is indeterminate and the pathological typing is still debatable. The mechanism of ICC induced by many high-risk factors is still unclear. There are no characteristic manifestations in early symptom and no specific tumor markers, and the diagnosis of ICC mainly depends on imaging examination, which enhanced CT and MRI are the most important evaluation method. TNM staging of ICC is of great significance to guide the treatment, nevertheless, the division of T stage updated by AJCC 8th Edition is still controversial. Radical surgery is the only way to cure ICC currently, but there are still many controversies on definition of R0 resection and the scope of lymph node dissection. The application of local therapy and the rapid development of immunity and targeted therapy bring new hope for the transformation therapy of locally advanced patients, however, the efficacy needs to be verified by multi center large sample clinical studies. To grasp the current focus issues in diagnosis and treatment of ICC timely will be an important direction of basic and clinical research of ICC in the future.

Objective To investigate the serum leptin levels of chronic hemodialysis patients and its relation to their nutritional status.Methods Twenty-nine maintenance hemodialysis patients were included in the study.TSF(triceps skin fold),BMI(body mass index) and FAT%(content of fat),lymphocyte count,serum albumin,globulin,total iron binding capacity,BUN,creatinine,cholesterol,triglyceride and leptin were measured.Malnutrition-inflammation score(MIS) was used to assess the patients nutritinal status.Results Levels of leptin were positively correlated with BMI,FAT%,TSF and MIS(P

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of acupuncture combined with massage on shoulder subluxation and motor function recovery of the upper extremities in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.Methods60 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into two groups for treatment with acupuncture cooperates with massage or usual rehabilition, respectively. The recovery of the patient's shoulder subluxation and movement function of upper extremities were evaluated 2 months after treatment. ResultsThe shoulder subluxation and movement function of the upper extremities were improved after treatment with both therapies (P<0.01), and acupuncture cooperates with massage showed better effect (P<0.01). ConclusionAcupuncture cooperates with massage can facilitate the recovery of shoulder subluxation and motor function of the upper extremities after hemiplegia.

Objective: To explore the effect of resveratrol (Res) on angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) with the possible mechanisms in vitro.
Methods: The HUVECs were cultured in 6 groups.①Control group, HUVEC were cultured with high glucose in DMEM,②Res group, the cell were cultured with Res at different concentrations,③Res with PI3K blocker LY294002 (Res+Blocker 1) group, ④Blocker 1 group, HUVEC were cultured with LY294002 alone, ⑤Res with eNOS blocker L-NAME (Res +Blocker 2) group and ⑥Blocker 2 group. The effect of Res on HUVEC proliferation was detected by CCK-8 kit, the protein expressions of p-Akt, p-eNOS were examined by Westin blot analysis, nitric oxide (NO) level was measured by nitrate reduction method and the endothelial cell migration was assayed by transwell chamber method.
Results: ① Compared with Control group, HUVEC proliferation increased in Res (1, 5μmol/L ) group, P<0.01, the proliferation in Res (5μmol/L) group was higher than those in Res (0.2, 10, 20μmol/L) group, P<0.01, while Res (20 μmol/L) group could inhibit the proliferation P<0.01. ②Compared with Control group, Res (5μmol/L) group had the higher protein expressions of p-Akt, p-eNOS, P<0.05-0.01, higher NO level, P<0.05.③Compared with Res group, Res+Blocker 1 group had lower expressions of p-Akt, p-eNOS, P<0.01, lower NO, P<0.05; the expressions of p-Akt, p-eNOS and NO level were similar between Res+Blocker 1 group and Blocker 1 group, all P>0.05.④Compared with Control group, the cell migration and tubing formation were higher in Res (5μmol/L) group, P<0.01;compared with Res group, the cell migration and tubing formation were lower in Res+Block2 group, P<0.01.
Conclusion: Res could up-regulate NO level via activating PI3-K/Akt/eNOS signaling and therefore, improving the proliferation, migration and tubing formation of HUVEC in vitro.

Objective To compare the biomechanical performance of three different fixation instruments for tibial fractures.Methods Fourteen fresh tibial specimens were made into models of oblique fracture.Seven models were fixed with unilateral axial dynamic fixation(UADF),and seven with limited contact dynamic compression plate(LC-DCP).After biomechanical tests had been done for the UADF group,an extra screw was used at the oblique fracture site to reinforce the fixation with extra limited internal fixation.Each model was tested for its hiomechanical performance in resisting compression,bending and rotation.Results The performance of UADF was significantly poorer than that of LC-DCP and UADF with limited internal fixation in anti-compression,an- ti-bending and anti-rotation(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the rigidity between LC-DCP and UADF with limited internal fixation(P＞0.05).Conclusion UADF with extra limited internal fixation is a recommendable method for tihial fractures because it cart provide the same effective fixation as LC-DCP does.

AIM To study the influence of chronic stress on the level of CNTF and CNTF mRNA in hippocampal neurons of rats. METHODS The chronic stress model was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress, openfield test was performed to detect the behavior of rats. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to observe the level of CNTF and CNTF mRNA. RESULTS Compared to control group, the CNTF like immunoreactivity and signals of CNTF mRNA in situ hybridization in the hippocampal neurons of chronic stress group were significantly decreased. CONCLUSION These results show that chronic stress can significantly decrease the level of CNTF and CNTF mRNA in the hippocampal neurons of rats.

Objective To observe the possible mechanism and inhibitory effects of curcumin on pulmonary fibrosis induced bleomycin in rats at the fibrosing stage. Methods 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were random divided into 4 groups (20 rats in each group). Rats in the fibrosis model group, the prednisone group and the curcumin group were induced by instilled bleomycin through tracheal, rats in the control group with same volume normal saline. Since the 15th day after bleomycin administration, the curcumin group and prednisone group were given curcumin (300 mg/kg) or prednisone (5mg/kg) per day by intragastric administration, respectively. The normal control group and the model group were given 1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ( 10ml/kg). Six rats of each group were random sacrificed on the 21st, 28th, 42nd and 56th days after bleomycin administration. The histological changes of the pulmonary were evaluated by H. E and Masson dyeing. The expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and hydroxyproline in the tissue of pulmonary were assessed by immunohistochemistry and digestion method. Results Pulmonary fibrosis and hydroxyproline level in the curcumin group were obviously reduced as compared with the model group on the 42nd and 56th day[42 d:1. 28 ±0. 61 vs 2. 28 ±0. 39,P <0. 01 ;(1.73 ±0. 22)mg/g vs (2.50 ±0. 37) mg/g, P <0.01;56 d:1.00 ±0.59 vs 1.73 ±0.36, P< 0. 05; ( 1.57 ± 0. 36) mg/g vs (2. 20 ± 0. 42) mg/g, P < 0. 01 ], and it was also lower than that in prednisone group on the 42nd day( P < 0. 05 ). The expression of TGF-β1 and PDGF in the curcumin group were obviously lower than that in the model group on the 28th, 42nd and 56th day[28 d:TGF-β1 :3642. 05 ±839. 31 vs 5067. 35 ±738. 39, P <0. 05 ;PDGF:2957. 55 ±739. 16 vs 4457. 75 ±568. 39, P <0. 05;42 d: TGF-β1: 2689. 73 ± 529.22 vs 4089. 50 ± 619. 37, P < 0. 01; PDGF: 2834. 46 ± 567. 16 vs 3239. 52 ±628. 26, P <0. 01 ;56 d:TGF-β1: 1968.57 ±408. 36 vs 2968.20 ±498.42, P <0. 01 ;PDGF: 1083.36 ±381.35 vs 2019. 40 ±412. 36, P <0. 01 ], which was lower than that in prednisone group on the 42nd and 56th day (42 d,TGF-β1 :3529. 07 ±981.35,PDGF:2618. 34 ±813. 34;56 d,TGF-β1 :2530. 83 ±439. 37,PDGF: 1738. 35 ±536. 62, Pall <0. 05 ) , and it had no obvious difference compared with control group on the 56th day ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion Curcumin could alleviate bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats at the fibrosing stage by inhibiting the expressions of TGF-β1 and PDGF.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of Argatroban on the instant bloodmediated inflammatory reaction(IBMIR)after islet transplantation.Methods Rat islets were isolated and purified rat islets,and were divided into blank control group,control group and experimental group.In the control group,the blood and the islets were directly mixed,and in the experimental group the Argatroban was added to the mixture based on the control group.while the blank control group was added with blood alone without the islets.Each group was reacted at 37℃for 60min,and then the content was filtered through trap valve of 70 μm.The residual thrombus and tissues were filtered by the trap valve in both the experimental and control groups,detected by the thinprep cytologic test(TCT),and the filtrate received blood routine test,and the function of islet was determined using insulin releasing test.Results The number of blood platelets,white blood cells,mononuclear cells,and lymphocytes percentage in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group after 60 min(P＜0.05).Under the environment of the high and low concentrations of glucose,the insulin release in experimental group was significantly increased as compared with the control group,and the insulin release index of former was 2.25±0.18,significantly higher than that of the latter 3.36±0.18(P＜0.05).The residual thrombus and tissues had few islet cells in the control group,the structure was damaged seriously,the capsule was not intact,and there were a large mumber of micro-thrombosis around the islets formed by red blood cells.But there were a large number of islet cells in the experimental group.the structure was intact in a mass,and no obvious micro-thrombosis around the islets was found.Conclusion Argatroban can effectively inhibit IBMIR in vitro,and alleviate the damage to the islet cells.

Objective To investigate dexamethasone on airway inflammation and CD4+ CD25 + regulatory T cells (CD4+ CD25 +Tr) of asthmatic rats,and elucidate the possible mechanism of dexamethasone in treatment of asthma.Methods 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,asthma group and dexamethasone-treated group.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected,and cytology study was conducted.The lung tissue was obtained and pathologic analysis was done through HE stain.Flow eytometry was used to detect the CD4+ CD25 +Tr ratio in PBMCs.Results Total cells number,the percentage of lymphocytes,neutrophils and eosinophils (Eos)in BALF of dexamethasone-treated group were lower than that of asthma group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the asthma group,less infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissues was observed in the dexamethasone-treated group.CD4+ CD25 + Tr of asthma group was lower than that of control and dexamethasone-treated group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexamethasone could suppress airway inflammation of asthmatic rats,which probably be due to increasing the number of CD4+ CD25 + Tr.

Objective To investigate the immunological mechanism of inhibitory effect of Danshen injection combined with dexamethasone(DXM) on asthmatic airway inflammation.Methods 50 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control(NC),asthma,Danshen,DXM and Danshen+DXM group.Cytology study of Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was conducted.Pathology of lung tissue was done through HE.Flow eytometry was used to detect CD4+CD25+ regulatory T Cells(CD4+CD25+ Treg) ratio in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs).IL-4 and IL-5 levels in BALF were detected by ELISA.Results Total cells number,percentage of lymphocytes,neutrophils and eosinophils(Eos) in BALF of the three treated groups were lower than that in asthma group(P<0.05,P<0.01),particularly in Danshen+DXM group,which showed significant difference as compared with the other two treated groups(P<0.05).There was severe inflammation in lung tissue of asthma group,moderate inflammation in Danshen group and DXM group,and no inflammation of Danshen+DXM group.CD4+CD25+ Treg/CD4+ T ratio in the three treated groups were higher than that in asthma group,and the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 were lower than those in asthma group(P<0.05).In Dansben+DXM group,it showed significant difference on the change of CD4+CD25+ Treg,IL-4 and IL-5 as compared with other treated groups(P<0.05).Conclision Danshen injection combined with DXM could suppress airway inflammation in asthmatic rats,which may be through increasing the expression of CD4+CD25+ Treg,decreasing the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 and resuming the balance of Th1/Th2.
