The understanding of anatomical structures and their adjacent relationship is the founda-tion and key to the development of surgical skills and clinical thinking. In clinical teaching for residents and graduate students , we took the advantage of donor operations in organ transplantation and showed abdominal anal operations anatomical features and relationships through different view angles and compre-hensive ways. This new teaching approach was designed in accordance with processes of organ donation, procurement and back-table operation. The main contents included anatomy of abdominal wall layers, rela-tionships among abdominal organs, locations and courses of important structure, as well as medical human-istic education. In the context of organ donation becoming more and more popular and standardized after the cardiac death of Chinese citizens, this teaching approach is worth exploring.

Thirty eight adult male rabbits were selected for the experiment. The experimental peptic ulcer was induced by means of injection of 40% acetic acid to the submucosa of the stomach. Animals of the control group were injected with normal saline instead and another control group consisted of normal rabbits without any treatment. The animals were killed by decapitation at different time intervals (3～49 days) after the operation. The adrenal tissues were prepared for histochemical studies from both experimental and control animals. The results were observed as follows:During the early stage of the peptic ulcer, the fascicular and reticular zones were the chief sites in the adrenal cortex where histochemical changes were involved. Three days after the peptic ulcer operation, the cells of the fascicular and reticular zones filled with sudanophilic lipid droplets and cholesterol droplets. Five days after the operation, both of lipid droplets and cholesterol droplets decreased; the content of ascorbic acid increased slightly; and the activity of succinic dehydrogenase also increased. The above changes were most conspicuous in the inner portion of the fascicular zone within ten days. After fourteen days, all the above histochemical changes began to recover and gradually returned to the normal level after eighteen to thirty five days. In the normal saline operation control group, the contents of lipid droplets and cholesterol droplets decreased in the fascicular and reticular zones after three days and returned to normal level during the period of ten to fourteen days after operation for saline injection.The above histochemical changes showed that the adrenal cortex was at an active functional state during the early period of the experimental peptic ulcer.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical value of ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules with different size.METHODSThe clinical data of 122 thyroid nodules of 109 cases referred to FNAC for diagnosis were retrospectively reviewed. The final operating histological results of 122 nodules were considered gold standard. RESULTSNon-diagnostic FNAC results occurred in 17 nodules (13.9%). FNAC achieved a sensitivity of 78.6%, a specificity of 93.9%, a positive predictive value of 93.6%, a negative predictive value of 78.3%, and a total accuracy of 85.7%. There was no significant difference between the diameter of the nodule≤1 cm group and>1 cm group, except negative predictive value. The non-diagnostic results rate was no significant difference between groups of different nodule size, benign or malignant nodules, and different operators. CONCLUSIONFNAC is a sensitive, specific and accurate method for differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.

To explore the correlation between nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count and perinatal asphyxia in neonates.Full-term newborns born from May 2011 to November 2012 were recruited and divided into perinatal asphyxia (n =40) and normal (n =30) groups.Apgar score was recorded immediately at delivery.The umbilical arterial blood was also collected into anticoagulant-treated tube and NRBC was counted by Japan OlympusCX41 biological microscope.NRBC count for perinatal asphyxia group [(10.70 ± 2.61)/100 WBC] was significant higher than that for normal group [(2.67 ± 0.35)/100 WBC].A statistically significant negative correlation existed between NRBC and umbilical arterial blood pH,Apgar score at 1 min,BE value (r =-0.802,P ＜ 0.05 ; r =-0.639,P ＜ 0.05 ; r =-0.566,P ＜ 0.05).Associated with perinatal asphyxia in neonates,NRBC may be used as a simple index for assessing the severity of neonatal perinatal asphyxia.

Objective To study the effect of serf-designed multi-organ preservation solution(SMO)on cold-stored rat liver.Methods The rat livers were preserved with SMO solution(group A,n=15),UW solution(group B,n=15)and HC-A solution(group C,n=15),respectively.The livers were transplanted orthotopically after 6-,12-,24-hour preservation.The changes of liver function at hour 12 after transplantation were detected and conditions of the survived rats at day 14 after transplantation were observed.Results There was no morphological change of the livers in group A within 24 houm.The total bilimbin,alaninetransaminase,and hyaluronic acid increased in group A and B as the preservation time increased,but the levels of the 3 indexes of group A were significant lower than those in group C(F=49.027,70.280,34.349,71.532,446.544,303.408,P＜0.05).No rat djed in group A 14 days after liver transplantation.Conclusions SMO and UW solution have similar effect on protecting the liver.and the protective effect of the 2 solutioas was better than that of HC-A solution.

Objective To observe whether treatment with cannabidiol (CBD) affect nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by methionine choline-deficient diet (MCD) in rats and investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Sixty-three adult male SD rats were randomly divided in to three groups as follows: Control group (rats fed with normal diet), MCD group (rats fed with MCD and MCD+CBD group [rats fed with MCD and treated with cannabidiol, 2mg/(kg.d), i.p.]. Ten weeks later, steatohepatitis and fibrosis were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining, respectively. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were measured by using an automatic biochemical analyzer and hepatic levels of cholesterol and triacylglycerol were determined with kits. Autophagic flux in livers was evaluated by Western blotting. Results Treatment with cannabidiol reduced ratio of liver/body weightratio (4.2%±0.6% versus 3.1%±0.6%, P<0.05), histological scores (4.7±1.1 versus 2.2±0.5, P<0.05) and fibrosis (1.4%±0.4% versus 0.8%±0.3%, P<0.05) in rat livers, lowered levels of ALT (214.5±54.1U/L versus 92.1±36.0U/L, P<0.05) and AST (175.9±55.2U/L versus 70.8±24.9U/L, P<0.05) in serum, attenuated hepatic fat accumulation (cholesterol, 182.4±42.7mmol/mg protein versus 101.0±33.8mmol/mg protein, P<0.05; triglyceride, 71.4±12.5mmol/mg protein versus 38.7±11.1mmol/mg protein, P<0.05), and down-regulated mRNA expression of Col1A1 (2.9±0.4 versus 1.6±0.3, P<0.05) in livers of rats fed with MCD. Furthermore, cannabidiol led to the LC3 turnover (LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I, 37.1±10.8 versus 71.2±17.1, P<0.05) and p62 decrease (202.4±40.9 versus 125.8±32.7, P<0.05) in the livers of MCD-fed rats. Conclusion Treatment with cannabidiol could relieve MCD-induced NASH in rats, at least in part, by autophagic flux promotion.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and characteristics of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of foreign bodies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with tracheobronchial foreign bodies confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy between January 2010 to December 2019.The children with tracheobronchial foreign body who were treated in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Gansu Province.Results:A total of 967 cases were operated by soft electronic bronchoscope, and foreign bodies were removed by means of foreign body forceps or nets.Among them, 19 cases(3 cases with subglottic foreign bodies, one with row of pins, and the rest 15 cases with foreign bodies completely wrapped by granulation)were not removed, two cases were spontaneously coughed, and 946 cases (97.8%)were removed.Bronchial foreign bodies in children were more common in boys, with the ratio of male to female being 2.14∶1.The main age of onset was 1-3 years old(88.8%). The incidence was slightly higher in rural areas than that in urban areas(46.5% in urban areas, 53.5% in rural areas). Foreign bodies were inhaled most in March and least in June.From the perspective of season, winter and spring were more than summer and autumn.The foreign body types inhaled were mainly exogenous plant foreign body, accounting for 93.0%, among which peanut(31.7%)and melon seeds(19.2%)were the most common.The duration of foreign body inhalation was up to 347 cases(35.9%)in 1-3 days.There were 501 cases(51.8%)with endoscopic endobronchial inflammation, and 196 cases of children with varying degrees of granulomatous hyperplasia, accounting for 39.1% and 20.3% of the total.The foreign body in the right bronchus accounted for 50.0% and the left bronchus for 43.7%.There were 793 cases confirmed by imaging, with a positive rate of 81.9%, and 90.9% confirmed by CT.Conclusion:About 88.8% of tracheobronchial foreign bodies occurred in 1 to 3 years of age.The occurrence of foreign bodies had obvious gender, urban-rural and seasonal distribution characteristics, and more cases were male, in rural and winter as well as spring.

BACKGROUND:Previous research indicated that iron-fluorouracil-phenanthroline complex has good antitumor activity in vitro, which can inhibit the proliferation of human cancer cels. OBJECTIVE:To detect the antitumor activity and toxicity of iron-fluouracil-phenanthroline complex, [Fe(5-Fu)2(Phen)SO4],in vivo. METHODS:A total of 40 Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups, which were intraperitoneally injected with 72, 102.9, 147, 210 mg/kg [Fe(5-Fu)2(Phen)SO4] and the half lethal dose of the complex was detected. One day after the establishment of mouse S180 sarcoma models, the model mice were randomly divided into eight groups, and administered with the intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg/kg (low dose group), 30 mg/kg (middle dose group), 60 mg/kg (high dose group) [Fe(5-Fu)2(Phen)SO4], normal saline (negative control group), cisplatin (positive control group), 5-fluorouracil, iron-salt and phenanthroline, respectively. The injection was done once a day, lasting for 7 days. The weight of sarcomas, body weight, the main organ coefficient and histopathological changes of the main organs were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The half lethal dose of [Fe(5-Fu)2(Phen)SO4] was 103.9 mg/kg. Compared with the negative control group, high dose group, positive control group and 5-fluorouracil could significantly inhibit the growth of the tumor (P< 0.05 orP< 0.01), and the effect of high dose group was the most obvious (P < 0.01). Compared with cisplatin, 60mg/kg [Fe(5-Fu)2(Phen)SO4] had a weaker inhibitory effect on the kidney, but higher inhibitory effect on the liver, spleen and thymus, indicating the complex has a lower nephrotoxicity, but stronger immunotoxicity and hepatotoxicity than cisplatin.
