Objective To study the prevalence and subtype of hemorrhagic transformation (HT ) among patients with different subtypes of acute cerebral infarction ,and investigate its clinical significance .Methods 977 patients with acute cerebral infarction from January 2008 to December 2011 were divided into groups according to the stroke subtypes :large-artery atherosclerosis(LAA) , cardioembolism(CE) ,small-artery occlusion(SAO) ,undetermined cause(UND) ,and other determined cause(OC) .HT included hemorrhagic infarction (HI) and parenchymal hematoma (PH) .The baseline data were registered and the prevalence and subtype of HT between different groups were compared .Results The rates of hypertension were the highest in LAA ,The rate of diabetes was the highest in SAO ,The rate of atrial fibrillation was the highest in CE .The rates of hyperlipidemia had no significant difference a-mong different subtypes of CI .The HT incidence of LAA ,CE ,SAO ,OC ,UND were 12 .8% ,31 .1% ,6 .6% ,4 .5% ,5 .5% respec-tively ,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =61 ,P<0 .01) .As to the subtype of HT ,PH was more common in CE group (χ2 =31 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion Distribution of risk factors ,HT prevalence and classification are different in different subtypes of acute cerebral infarction ,the differences might be related to the distribution of different risk factors .

Objective To research the pattern distribution of TCM syndromes in upper airway cough syndrome(UACS)(source of the nose).Methods Two hundred cases of UACS(source of the nose) were observed to analyze the pattern distribution of TCM syndromes.Result The pattern distribution of TCM syndromes was as follows:wind-phlegm obstruction lung syndrome 76 cases(38%),wind-phlegm and stagnant heat syndrome 58 cases(29%),wind-cold and dampness syndrome 34 cases(17%),lung dry and Yin deficiency syndorme 32 cases(16%).Analysis of nose diseases history and TCM syndrome type showed that allergic rhinitis,chronic nasosinusitis and non-allergic rhinitis were main causes of UACS(source of the nose),account for 46.0%,25.5% and 14.5% respectively.Conclusion Wind-phlegm obstruction lung syndrome and wind-phlegm and stagnant heat syndrome were the most common syndromes of UACS.

Background:Zinc finger protein of cerebellum 2(ZIC2)is a transcriptional activator or repressor that is important for the organogenesis of the central nervous system.Previous studies have reported that ZIC2 is widely upregulated in a variety of tumors. Methods:Oncomine database was used to evaluate the expression levels of ZIC2 in hepatocellular car-cinoma(HCC)and normal liver tissues.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immu-nohistochemistry were conducted to validate the results from the database.Cox regression analysis and survival curves were performed to assess the survival effect of ZIC2 in HCC. Results:Increased expression of ZIC2 was detected in HCC tissues compared with normal liver tissues.In addition,patients with high ZIC2 levels had a poor prognosis.Multivariate analysis showed that clinical stage(T or M classification)and ZIC2 levels were independent prognostic factors for overall survival.Moreover,a subgroup analysis revealed that patients with moderate or poor grade tumors,T1-2 tumors,N0 tumors,early American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)stage,and old age were more likely to present with overexpression of ZIC2.To conclude,ZIC2 is upregulated in HCC and associated with the histology and survival of HCC patients. Conclusions:The expression status of ZIC2 may serve as an independent prognostic marker of HCC.

Objective To investigate the changes in ATPase activity of diaphragm in rats with acute organophosphorus poisoning (AOPP) and to explore the effect of Xuebijing injection on the ATPase activity. Methods 24 clean healthy Spraue-Dawley(SD)rats were divided into control group,model group and Xuebijing treatment group by means of random number table,with 8 rats in each group. AOPP model was established by intra-gastrical administration of 50 mg/kg oxide dimethoate. In Xuebijing treatment group,after oxide dimethoate administration,intraperitoneal injection of Xuebijing(10 mL/kg)was given at the same time,while in control group and model group,equal amount of normal saline(NS)was injected via the same route. The rats were sacrificed at 6 hours after model formation,and their diaphragms were taken sterilely. The activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPsae of diaphragms were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The histopathological changes in diaphragms of rats were observed with light microscopy. Results 6 hours after intoxication,the diaphragm Na+-K+-ATPase activity of rats in model group was markedly lower than that in control group(mmol?h-1?g-1:5.22±0.74 vs. 9.98±0.37,P<0.01),while the Na+-K+-ATPase activity in Xuebijing treatment group(6.93±1.14) was markedly higher than that in model group(P<0.05). The diaphragm Ca2+-ATPase activity of rats in model group was markedly lower than that in control group(mmol?h-1?g-1:7.45±0.74 vs. 12.08±0.74,P<0.01),while the Ca2+-ATPase activity in Xuebijing treatment group(9.35±1.67)was obviously higher than that in model group(P<0.05)after intoxication for 6 hours. Light microscope observation indicated that there were swelling and necrosis in diaphragm in model group,while in Xuebijing treatment group no necrosis was found. Conclusion The diaphragm was degenerated and necrotic in AOPP rats,Xuebijing injection can lessen the injury in such rats,and the curative effect may be related to the improvement of the Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPsae activities of diaphragm.

Purpose:It is the authors' intention to improve the diagnostic and differential diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound for acute tes-tis diseases by analyzing the sonographic features.Materials and Methods:The sonographic features of 78 acute testis diseasess were analyzed.The results were compared with the clinical,surgical and pathological results.Results:78 patients had obviously different sonographic features between different types of acute testis diseases.12 testicular tumors were big mass with uneven internal echoes and often with calcification.The distributions of the vessels in the lesions were irregular or branch-like.26 cases of testicular contusion had scrotal wall edema and thickening,with low echo and liquid collection in the lesions.21 cases of acute orchitis usually intumesced with color ball-shaped rich blood flow signals.18 cases with testicular torsion had blood flow on the affected side decreased or disappeared,lcase of tuberculocele showed extremely uneven and various echoes mixed in testis.Conclusion: A fast and exact diagnosis or differential diagnosis of acute testis diseases can be obtained with ultrasound.

OBJECTIVE: To study the polymorphism of human platelet antigen (HPA) system 10 among ethnic Han Chinese from Shandong, China so as to supplement the data of platelet donor bank in the region. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of platelet donors from the region were genotyped for HPA-10 alleles by PCR-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) and direct sequencing. RESULTS: Among 1401 donors, a rare heterozygote carrier of HPA-10w (a+b+) was identified, which gave an allelic frequency of approximately 0.035%. CONCLUSION The detection of rare HPA-10bw antigen allele among ethnic Han Chinese from Shandong is useful for the diagnosis and prevention of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and post-transfusion purpura in the region.

Depression,a common mood disorder,has a complex pathogenesis.In recent years,the accelerated pace of life has been accompanied by an increase in the prevalence rate of depression,leading to extensive attention being given to this condition.External stress and inflammation synergize to damage blood vessel and brain functions,induce immune disorders,cause microglia activation,and increase the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and their receptors.Inflammatory reactions continue to escalate,which affects the normal metabolism and metabolism of the neurotransmitter system.The abnormal functioning of molecular pathways leads to mutations in brain cell and nerve genes,and further formation of the immune-inflammation-neuron cycle pathway becomes an important mechanism in the occurrence and development of depression.A large number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicines can improve depression symptoms by restoring neuroimmune inflammation homeostasis.This article explains neuroimmune inflammation's close connection with depression and its pathogenesis and reviews the role of various traditional Chinese medical therapies in improving and treating depression by participating in the regulation of neuroimmune inflammation.This review provides new perspectives on the precise treatment of depression and the development of immune-targeted drugs.

Objective To perform an anatomical observation on the extension of the mesocolon to the mesorectum and the continuity of the fasciae lining the abdomen and pelvis, in order to clarify the appropriate surgical plane of total mesorectal excision. Methods This is an descriptive study. The operation videos of 61 cases (28 males, 33 females, median age of 61) were collected. All the patients underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery from January 2018 to December 2018 in Yangpu Hospital, including low anterior resection for rectal cancer in 25 cases, left hemicolectomy for descending colon cancer in 15 cases, and subtotal resection of the colon for intractable constipation in 21 cases. Among these 21 constipation patients, 8 received additional modified Duhamel surgeries. Gross anatomy was performed on 24 adult cadavers provided by Department of Anatomy, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, including 23 formalin?fixed and 1 fresh cadaver (12 males, 12 females). Sixty?one patients and 24 cadavers had no previous abdominal or pelvic surgical history. The anatomy and extension of fasciae related to descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum, especially the morphology of Toldt fascia, and the continuities of mesocolon and mesorectum were observed carefully. The distribution characteristics of the fasciae and anatomical landmarks during laparoscopic surgery were recorded and described. Results The anatomical study on 24 cadavers showed that visceral fascia was the densest connective tissue in the pelvic, posterolateral to the rectum, and stretched as a hammock to lift all pelvic organs. Among 61 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, 36 (59.0%) needed to free the left colon during operation, and Toldt fascia in the descending colon segment presented as potential, avascular and extensible loose connective tissue plane between the mesocolon and posterior Gerota fascia; 33 (54.1%) needed to free the rectum during operation, and Toldt fascia extended downward to pelvis as loose connective tissue between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia; the fascia propria of the rectum exposed completely in 32 (32/33, 97.0%) cases, which ran downward and fused with visceral fascia at the level of the fourth sacral vertebra. The anatomy of 24 cadavers also showed that fascia propria of the rectum fused with visceral fascia at the level of Waldeyer fascia. The fusion line of these two fasciae was supposed to be the extension of Waldeyer fascia. There were two avascular planes behind the rectum: one between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia, and the other between the visceral fascia and parietal fascia. In 8 constipation cases undergoing laparoscopic subtotal colon resection plus modified Duhamel operation, both mesocolon and mesorectum needed to be mobilized. It was obvious that the mesocolon of descending colon extended and became the mesocolon of sigmoid colon, and ran further into the pelvic and became the mesorectum. The colon fascia of descending colon served as the natural boundary of mesocolon extended downward as the fascia of sigmoid colon and the fascia propria of the rectum, respectively. Toldt fascia locating between mesocolon of descending colon and Gerota fascia extended to pelvis as the‘presacral space’between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia. Gerota fascia in descending colon segment extended as urogenital fascia in sigmoid colon segment and visceral fascia in the pelvis, respectively. In the cadaver anatomy study, the visceral fascia served as a corridor carrying the hypogastric nerve, and ureter was observed in 23 (23/24, 95.8%) cases. The visceral fascia passed from posterior to anterior lateral of rectum, fusing with Denonvilliers fascia in a fan shape. The pelvic plexus located exactly external to the junction of visceral fascia and Denonvilliers fascia. Pelvic splanchnic nerves went through the parietal fascia toward to the inferolateral of the pelvic plexus. Conclusion Fascia propria of the rectum and the visceral pelvic fascia are two independent layers of fascia, and the TME surgical plane is between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral pelvic fascia instead of between the visceral and the parietal pelvic fascia.
