Objective To study the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) in rat model. Methods Male SD rats were fed with a high fat diet for 12 weeks. Non alcoholic ateatohepatitis serum lipid, aminotransferase values and free fatty acid (FFA) levels were tested, the malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of hepatic tissue were also detected. Hepatic cytochrome P450ⅡE 1 (CYPⅡE 1) were detected in liver section by immunohistochemistry using CYPⅡE 1 specific antibodies and also with an immunohistochemical procedure for detecting the number of Kupffer cells. Results FFA concentrations of the serum and hepatic tissue were markedly increased, which was accompanied by an increase of MDA in hepatic tissue, whereas SOD activity of hepatic tissue was decreased. CYPⅡE 1 immunostaining was markedly increased, especially in the perivenous region. The number of Kupffer cells in NASH was significantly increased compared with control livers. Correlation analysis revealed that the increases in the levels of FFA correlated positively with the hepatic CYPⅡE 1 expression, the lipid peroxidation, and the pathological scores in the liver of NASH rats. Conclusion The increased FFA, highly expressed CYPⅡE 1, activated kupffer cells and increased lipid oxidate were all contributed to NASH.

In order to approach the mechanisms of Chinese drug Bu Sui Sheng Xue Instant Granules for tonifying kidney inhibiting apoptosis in the patient of chronic aplastic anemia (CAA), levels of soluble Fas (sFas), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a), interleukin - 2 (IL - 2) before and after treatment were determined in 30 cases of CAA and Zai Zang Sheng Xue Tablet was used as control. Results indicated that expression of serum sFas, TNF - a and IL - 2 before treatment was significantly higher than those of the control group (P0. 05), and the IL-2 level still was higher than the normal (P

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) usually becomes complicated and unmanageable when combing with metabolic syndromes of obesity,hypertension and hyperlipidemia.Medical treatment generally adopts non-surgical management,such as diet control,exercise and oral medications; surgical treatment can improve the condition of patients with T2DM and the metabolic syndromes.In this article,the multi-disciplinary treatment of a patient with T2DM and obesity in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University was analyzed,so as to provide a new way for the treatment of this disease.

Objective To summarize the clinicopathological characteristics and effects of surgical treatment on gastric stump cancer.Methods With meta- analysis, clinical data of 902 gastric stump cancer patients who were treated in our hospital or were reported in literatures were included for analysis.Age, gender, pathological types, TNM stages, surgical treatment, prognosis were evaluated.Results Gastric stump cancer developed mostly in male patients (4.1∶1) , and the median age was 61 years.Incidence of gastric stump cancer after digestive tract reconstruction with Billroth- Ⅱ operative modality was higher than that with Billroth- Ⅰ (81.6% vs.17.1%).50.5% of the cancers were present at the anastomotic site, 21.7% at the gastric lesser curvature, 18.5% at the gastric cardia, and less than 10% at other places.Resection and radical resection rates were 81.3% and 62.7% , while operation combined organ resection was carried out (36.5% ).The 1-, 3-, 5- year survival rate of the patients with radical resection were significantly better than those with palliative resection, which was 77.8% vs.36.4% , 58.2% vs.9.8% and 28.9% vs.3.9% (P＜0.01) respectively.Conclusions Distal gastrectomy and Billroth Ⅱ GI tract reconstruction was the most common type of previous operation.Gastric stump cancer occurs more frequently at anastomotic site and the majority of histological types was well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.Most cases were at the advanced TNM-stage when diagnosed.Radical resection is an effective way to prolong the postoperative survival time in gastric stump cancer patients, especially in early stage.

Objective To study lymph node metastasis in early gastric carcinoma. Methods From July 2001 to July 2007, 177 patients with early gastric carcinoma underwent radical gastrectomy and the clinicopathologic data were analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results The overall rate of lymph node metastasis in early gastric carcinoma was 13%, involving 13% and 3% in level I (NI) and level Ⅱlymph nodes (N2), respectively. The rate of lymph node metastasis was 22%(20/89) in cases of submucosal lesion (SM), which was significantly higher than 3%(3/88) in cases of mucosal lesion (M) (X2=14. 222, P<0.01). The rate of lymph node metastasis was 3%(4/117) when the primary tumor was ≤2cmin diameter compared with 32%(19/60) when the tumor was >2cm (X2=27.992, P<0.01). The lymph node metastasis rate was 4%(3/81) and 21%(20/96) in differentiated and undifferentiated lesion (X2=11.402, P=0.001), and it was 33%(2/6)、8%(7/99) and 19% (14/92) in macroscopic type I, Ⅱ and Ⅲ (X2=8.172, P=0.014). Binarylogistic analysis found that the tumour diameter greater than 2.0cm (OR=8.408, P<0.01), infiltration of the submucosal layer (OR=5.926, P=0.009) and undifferentiated lesion (OR=4.880, P=0.020) were the independent risk factors. Conclusion Lymph node metastasis in early gastric carcinoma is significantly cantingent on the depth of infiltration, tumor size and histological type.

Objective To study the clinicopathological features and prognosis of Gastric hepatoid adenocarcinoma (GHA) and aims to guide future clinical practice.Method We retrospectively studied the clinical data of 25 patients with pathologically confirmed GHA who were admitted to our hospital from January 2003 to December 2015.Results There were 19 males and 6 females.The average age was 61.2 years.The clinical manifestations were non-specific.Pathologically,majority of GHA presented with ulcerative type,poor differentiation and extensive vascular cancerous embolus.Preoperative liver metastases were found in 12 patients,and postoperative liver metastases in 15 patients.Conclusions GHA is a special primary gastric adenocarcinoma which possesses both hepatocellular carcinoma-like and adenocarcinoma-like histology.GHA is characterized by a significantly elevated serum AFP and early hepatic metastasis.GHA is therefore often misdiagnosed as primary hepatocellular carcinoma.The main treatment option remains to be surgical resection,and the prognosis is poor.

Objective To study sex differences,in common risk factors,subtypes and outcomes in stroke.Methods 2912 patients hospitalized for stroke were evaluated for common risk factors,subtypes and outcomes data.Results Mean age was higher in women than in men(P

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) against implanted gastric cancer cells. Methods:Gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were subcutaneously injected into the inguina of nude mice to establish gastric cancer model. The tumor bearing mice were randomly divided into CIK group and fibroblasts group,in which mice were subcutaneously injected with fluorescence dye SP-DiI labeled CIK and fibroblasts HFL-I cells,respectively. Distribution of CIK and HFL-I cells in different tissues of gastric cancer bearing mice were observed. Meanwhile,tumor volume was measured after different treatments and tumor inhibitory rate was calculated. Tumor necrosis areas in different groups were observed. Results:SP-DiI labeled CIK was mainly located in the gastric cancer tissues 10 d after injection,and was hardly detected at the injection sites,liver,spleen and lung tissues (P
