Objective To study the prognosis of patients with asymptomatic gallstones and explore prognostic factors.Methods The clinical data of 227 patients with asymptomatic gallstones in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from December 2013 to March 2016 were collected.All patients were followed with questionnaire,finally 192 cases were had been enrolled,of which 57 cases with clinical symptoms were symptom group and 135 cases with no clinical symptons were asymptomatic group.The prognostic factors were analyzed by un-ivariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant difference in the num-ber of stones,stone size,diabetes,high fat diet and body mass index between the two groups(P <0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple stones,stone diameter ≥1 cm,diabetes were the major risk factors for prognosis in asymptomatic gallstones.Conclusion Multiple gallbladder stones,stone diameter ≥1 cm,diabetes,high fat diet and obesity may be the major prognostic factors for patients with a-symptomatic gallstones.

Purpose To explore the clinical pathological features and differential diagnoses and therapeutics of hyalinizing trabecular tumours ( HTT) of thyroid. Methods The clinical manifestations, high-frequency color doppler ultrasonography, histopathological and immunohistochemical features were analysed in six cases of HTT of thyroid. Related literatures were reviewed. Results On his-topathological examination, polygonal and elongated cells arranged in pattern of trabecular and organoid, with a clear perinucleolus ha-lo. Basement membrane-like material deposited intertrabeculae widespreadly. The tumour cells are completely filled with eosinophilic and granular material in their cytoplasm, nuclei with prominent grooves and pseudoinclusions. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells were positive for TG, TTF-1 and CD56, CK19 and Galectin-3 interspersed expression. And all of them were negative for Calcito-nin, MC, CEA, Syn, CgA, Ki-67, p53 were lower expression. The differential diagnosis included solid variant of papillary carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and paraganglioma and so on. Conclusion HTT is an uncommon thyroid tumor, the majority of them be-have as benign neiplasms and that, correct pathologic diagnosis may play an important role in standard treatment and prognostic evalua-tion of HTT.

Objective To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD,CD34) in inoculated hepatic alveolar echinococcsis gerbil model and explore the clinical significance.Methods Sixty healthy gerbils were randomly divided into model group,control group and sham operation group.Each gerbil in both model and control groups had liver vaccination with 0.1 ml immature alveolar echinococcus protoscolex suspension or 0.1 ml phosphate buffered saline by open abdominal surgery,respectively,and the sham operation group only had abdominal surgical procedures.Gerbils were put to death on the 120th day post operation,extracted the eyeball and drawn the blood.The alveolar hydatid tissue,surrounding and distal liver tissue were removed from the model group,and normal liver tissue was collected from the other two groups.The VEGF and MVD-CD34 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining,Western Blot,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa).Results Liver alveolar echinococcsis tissue was only observed in model group.The VEGF expression was observed as yellow or brown yellow granules located in the cytoplasma.The VEGF score and VEGF/β-actin ratio in the different parts were 5.13 ± 1.81 and 1.12 ± 0.05,4.20 ± 1.52 and 0.91 ± 0.02,2.46 ± 1.06 and 0.28 ±0.02,2.20 ±0.77 and 0.30 ±0.02,2.13 ± 1.72 and 0.25 ±0.01,respectively.The VEGF expression in different histological sites showed a gradient change,and bubble hydatid tissues had the highest VEGF expression (P ＜ 0.05).CD34 was expressed in alveolar hydatid tissue and surrounding liver tissue in model group and the CD34 positive cells was stained brown,while CD34 was mainly located in the cell membrane of endothelial cells.The CD34 scores and the CD34/β-actin ratio in the different parts were 5.06 ± 2.46 and 0.66 ±0.01,2.43 ± 1.26 and 0.58 ±0.02,and the other tissues did not have CD34 expression.The alveolar hydatid tissue had higher CD34 expression than any other tissues (P ＜ 0.05).The respective serum VEGF and CD34 level in each group was (106.17 ± 14.17)pg/ml,(38.13 ± 21.36)pg/ml,(42.88 ±17.25) pg/ml,and (1.47 ± 0.28) ng/ml;(0.82 ± 0.12) ng/ml,(0.72 ± 0.16) ng/ml,both are higher in model group than those in the other groups with statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Angiogenesis is detected in gerbil alveolar hydatid tissues,which might be involved in the infiltrating growth of alveococcus.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of protocatechuic acid(PCA)on the PC12 cell model of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and to explore its mechanism . Methods Amyloid beta peptide 1-42(Aβ1-42)fiber polymers were identified by immunofluorescence. After PC12 cells were stimulated with the Aβ1-42 fiber polymers, the cellular morphology was observed at different time points of hour 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 , and the cellular viability was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay to monitor the modeling condition. The effect of PCA on PC12 cells was detected after PC12 cells were pretreated with the different contentions of PCA. Autophagy-related marker Beclin1 protein level was detected by Western blotting method to investigate the protective mechanism of PCA. Results Aggregated white Aβ1-42 mass was stable at hour 12 and 24, and showed no significant difference between the two time points, the cell damage rate being 40%. Therefore, we defined culturing time being 12 and 24 hours as the modeling condition of AD model. The cell viability was increased with 200-800 μmol/L of PCA after culturing for 24 hours(P<0.01) , and the Western blotting results showed that the Beclin1 protein expression was up-regulated by PCA. Conclusion PCA prevents PC12 cells from Aβ1-42-induced toxicity, the mechanism being related with the increase of cellular autophagy.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which Erastin affects ferroptosis in lung fibroblasts.Meth-ods Mouse lung fibroblasts (C57/B6-L) were treated with varying concentrations of the iron death inducer Eras-tin.Cell viability was assessed using the cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay.Oxidative stress levels were visualized using a fluorescence microscope, and the expression of proteins related to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was analyzed using Western blot.Additionally, the p38 and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) inhibitors SB203580 and U0126 were employed to further elucidate the mechanism by which Erastin induces iron death in lung fibroblasts.Results At a concentration of 100 μmol/L, Erastin effectively in-duced ferroptosis in lung fibroblasts, leading to an upregulation of oxidative stress.Furthermore, the phosphoryla-tion levels of p38 and ERK proteins in the MAPK pathway were elevated (P<0.05) .The addition of SB203580 and U0126 inhibitors resulted in a significant reduction in oxidative stress levels and a notable increased in cell ac-tivity in lung fibroblasts (P<0.05).Conclusion It can be concluded that Erastin induces ferroptosis in lung fi-broblasts, potentially through the mediation of oxidative stress via the MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To construct a combined diet and exercise program for puerperal women with Yin-deficiency constitution based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution identification, and evaluate the effect of this program.Methods:This study was guided by the complex intervention development framework of the UK Research Council, and based on the TCM constitution identification, and determined the combined diet and exercise program for puerperal women with Yin-deficiency constitution based on TCM constitution identification through literature review, case analysis, group discussion, and Delphi method. From October to December 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 76 delivery women with Yin-deficiency constitution who delivered at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University as the research subject. According to the delivery time, the delivery women were divided into a control group ( n=37) and an experimental group ( n=39). The control group adopted routine postpartum nursing. On this basis, the experimental group implemented the combined diet and exercise program for puerperal women with Yin-deficiency constitution based on TCM constitution identification. We compared the Yin-deficiency constitution score, duration of lochia, and incidence of puerperium complications between two groups of delivery women before and after intervention. Results:The final constructed program included 6 primary indicators, 20 secondary indicators, and 50 tertiary indicators. In the two rounds of consultation, the positivity coefficients of experts were all 100%, the authority coefficients of experts were 0.827 and 0.843, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.419 and 0.502, respectively with a statistical difference ( P<0.01). After intervention, the score of Yin-deficiency constitution, duration of lochia, and incidence of puerperium complications in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The combined diet and exercise program for puerperal women with Yin-deficiency constitution based on TCM constitution identification is scientific, comprehensive, and feasible, which can provide reference for future development of TCM constitution management during the puerperium.

In the past 20 years,near infrared spectrum technology has been widely used in human body monitoring due to its non-invasive and real-time characteristics.Oxygen,as the main metabolic substance of the human body,is consumed the most in brain tissue.In order to prevent complications caused by a decrease in brain tissue oxygen during treatment,the patient's brain tissue blood oxygen saturation needs to be monitored in real time.Currently,most of the clinically used non-invasive cerebral blood oxygen detection equipments use dual wavelengths.Other substances on the detection path will cause errors in the measurement results.Therefore,this article proposes a three-wavelength method based on the basic principle of non-invasive monitoring of cerebral blood oxygen using near-infrared spectrum.The brain tissue oxygen saturation monitoring method of detecting light sources was initially verified through the built system,laying the foundation for subsequent system engineering.

Based on the"You Gu Wu Yun"theory in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),this paper believes that"Gu"in"You Gu Wu Yun"is extended to"state"from the perspective of"TCM state".In order to avoid the adverse reactions of TCM,the macro,meso,and micro three views should be used together,and macro,meso,and micro parameters should be integrated.We should also carefully identify the physiological characteristics,pathological characteristics,constitution,syndrome,and disease of human body by combining qualitative and quantitative method,highlighting the relationship between the prescription and the"state".The correspondence between prescription and the"state"will reduce the risk of adverse reactions of TCM.In this paper,we hope to focus on the guiding role of the"You Gu Wu Yun"theory in TCM research,to give full play to the characteristics and advantages of TCM,and to dialectically treat the role of TCM.
