Objective:To explore the correlation between lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms and diabetic retinopathy and lower extremity artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus.Methods:The clinical data of 128 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus from August 2016 to March 2018 in Central Hospital of Shengli OilField were retrospectively analyzed. The general clinical data and laboratory indexes were recorded. The score was evaluated by lower gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (LGSRS). Patients with the LGSRS score ≥6 scores were as positive group, and those with LGSRS score<6 scores were as negative group. Fundus photography and ultrasonic scanning of lower extremity artery disease were performed for each patient. The correlation between LGSRS score and diabetic retinopathy, lower extremity artery disease was analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:Positive group had 66 cases, and negative group had 62 cases. The age, duration of diabetic, LGSRS score and incidence of diabetic retinopathy in positive group were significantly higher than those in negative group: (64.24 ± 10.43) years vs. (59.57 ± 12.50) years, (14.67 ± 1.28) years vs. (10.98 ± 1.25) years, (8.65 ± 2.38) scores vs. (2.77 ± 1.49) scores and 98.48% (65/66) vs. 69.35% (43/62), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or<0.01). There were no statistical difference in gender, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol and incidence of diabetic retinopathy between 2 groups ( P>0.05). After adjusting for age, duration of diabetic, glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and total cholesterol, the LGSRS score showed positive correlation with diabetic lower extremity artery disease ( OR = 1.174, 95% CI 1.065 to 1.470, P = 0.001), but there was no correlation between LGSRS score and diabetic retinopathy ( P = 0.313). Conclusions:In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms has positive correlation with diabetic lower extremity artery disease, and no correlation with diabetic retinopathy. It suggests that there may be a common pathological mechanism between lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms and diabetic lower extremity artery disease.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a common cancer in hepatobiliary system .Because CCA is in sensitive to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy ,the current treatment is mainly depending on the surgical operation when diagnosed early .Tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand ( TRAIL) plays a key role in the process of controlling cell proliferation by binding with its receptor and therefore mediated cell apoptosis . Although the characteristic of selectively killing tumor cells by TRAIL makes it become the new direction of clini -cal treatment of cancer ,the condition that CCA cells are resistant to TRAIL mediated apoptosis restricts its scope of application.Nowadays many studies demonstrate that multiple signaling pathways can regulate the sensitive of CCA cells to TRAIL mediated apoptosis .In this review,we summarize the expression and effects of TRAIL and its receptor in CCA , and conclude the mechanism of multiple pathways restoring the sensitivity of CCA cells to TRAIL mediated apoptosis .

Objective To compare the expression changes of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor Y1 in different stages of osteoblast differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Methods The rBMSCs were isolated in vitro from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats using whole bone marrow adherence method and cultured. Then, the rBMSCs were divided into osteoblast-induced group and noninduced group. In different periods of culture at 1, 2 and 3 weeks, identification of the osteoblasts was performed by using immunocytochemistry and Western blot. Expressions of mRNA and protein of Y1 receptor were detected by real time reserve transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Results RT-PCR demonstrated that osteoblast-induced group had a lower expression of Y1 receptor than non-induced group at the same time point and the expression of Y1 receptor was increased in a time-dependent manner in both groups. Western blot demonstrated higher expression of Y1 receptor in osteoblast-induced group compared with non-induced group at the same time point and a decreased expression of Y1 receptor in a time-dependent manner in both groups. Conclusions During the process of osteoblastic differentiation of rat BMSCs, the expressions of mRNA and protein of NPY Y1 receptor show different trends, when NPY may mediate the inhibition of osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs through Y1 receptor pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) on proliferation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Methods The rBMSCs were isolated using whole bone marrow adherence method. In the different periods of culturing (1, 2,and 3 weeks), expressions of the neuropeptide receptors were detected by Western Blot and reserve transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The BMSCs were treated with CGRP and SP at concentration 10-8 mol/L at different time (1,3,5,7,9 days), cell proliferation was detected with MTT assay, the protein expressions of cyclin D1 ,cyclin E and p53 were examined using Western Blot. Results The CGRP receptor and SP receptor were expressed in BMSCs. The expression of CGRP receptor was statistically higher than that of SP receptorat the same time point. The growth curves of BMSCs cultured by both neuropeptides had similar appearance. CGRP and SP stimulated the proliferation of BMSCs significantly at 9 days and 7 and 9 days. In this process, the expressions of cyclinDl and cyclinE were up-regulated by CGRP, SP only enhanced the expression of cyclinE; these effects all reached a peak at 5 days. The expression of p53 was down-regulated by both neuropeptides. Conclusion CGRP and SP had direct effects on the proliferation of BMSCs, the regulation of cell cycle proteins is one of the mechanisms.

Objective To analyze the clinical features, laboratory findings, electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroimaging of the neurosyphilis presented with parkinsonism as the principal manifestation to improve the diagnosis of neurosyphilis. Methods Eight eurosyphilis patients were from department of neurology of Hainan provincial people’s hospital from early July 2010 to December 2014. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical manifestation, laboratory exami?nations, neuroimaging examinations, diagnosis and treatment outcomes of 8 cases neurosyphilis who presented with par?kinsonism as principal manifestation. Results Myotonia and bradykinesia were principal symptoms in these 8 cases. Limb tremor, posture disorder, abnormal mental behavior and cognitive impairment occurred in some patients. Serum treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) and toluidine red untreated serum test (TRUST)were positive in 8 cas?es. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein and cell counts were elevated in all the patients. CSF-TPPA and TRUST were posi?tive in all the patients. The MRI showed that cerebral infarction in basal ganglia, cerebral atrophy in temporal lobe and hippocampus and ventricular enlargement in all the patients. EEG showed abnormal activity in all the patients. After treatment with a large dose of penicillin, clinical symptoms were obviously improved;the titer of serum and CSF TRUST decreased;and scores of UPDRS decreased in all the patients. Conclusions There is a wide variation in the clinical man?ifestation of the neurosyphilis. When patients present with Parkinsonism, we should comprehensively analyze the laborato?ry examinations, EEG and neuroimaging to rule out the possibility of neurosyphilis.

SARS coronavims is an emerging virus. A lot of animals could be infected by SARS-CoV and Himalayan palm civets, as one of important hosts, is an ideal animal model. Viral genetic factors have been implicated in the emergence of SARS-CoV, with the suggestion that this virus is a recombinant between mammalian and avian coronaviruses. However, the recombination is unlikely to explain the appearance of SARS in humans.
