Objective To evaluate the risk factors for early rebleeding (ERB) after elective endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in cirrhotic patients and the influence of ERB on the long-term survival.Methods A total of 198 cirrhotic patients who received elective EVL were retrospectively evaluated.Twenty-six patients rebleeded within 6 weeks after initial EVL and were assigned to the ERB group.One hundred and seventy-two other cirrhotic patients were assigned to the control group.Multivariate analysis was used to define the high risk factors of ERB.A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative survival rates between two groups.Results The Child-Pugh classification (P =0.016),Child-Pugh scores (P=0.012),and the total bilirubin (P =0.001) were significantly different between ERB and control group.Multivariate analysis showed total bilirubin was the only independent risk factor of ERB (OR =2.02,95%CI:1.04-4.04,P =0.008).The proportional mortality indicator of bleeding-related deaths was 66.7% (10/15) in ERB group and 13.6% (6/44) in control group (P <0.01).The five-year curmulative survival rate of the control-group was significantly higher than that of the rebleeding group (67.8% vs.25.3%,P < 0.01).Conclusion Cirrhotic patients with ERB after elective EVL have a poor prognosis.High level of total bilirubin may predict ERB.

Objective To establish the quality standard of flavone extracts in licorice residue; To provide the methods and basis for the quality control of total flavonoids extracted from licorice residue.Methods TLC was applied to compare the extracts with liquiritin and licorice; UV-spectrophotometry was used to measure the content of total flavones; EDTA-2Na titration was used to determine the content of calciumion.Results In the chromatogram of the test product, the spots of the same color were displayed on the corresponding position of the control medicinal material, and the fluorescent spots of the same color were displayed on the corresponding position of the control product. UV-spectrophotometry showed glycyrrhizin had a good linear relationship in the range of 3.32–9.96 μg/mL (r=0.9997), the absorbance between 0.3 and 0.7. The average recovery rate was 102.41% (RSD=3.22%), and the average content of total flavonoids in three batches of flavonoids extract was 8.82%. The average content of calciumion was 0.107% (RSD=3.61%).Conclusion This method has good repeatability, high sensitivity and accurate results, and can be used for the quality control of flavonoids in licorice residue.

Objective To explore the effect of biliary obstruction caused acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) on ultrastructure of gallbladder interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs),and the possible mechanism of impaired contraction of gallbladder smooth muscle. Methods Total 60 healthy adult guinea pigs were in this study. The guinea pigs AAC model was induced by common bile duct ligation (BDL). The guinea pigs were divided into five groups equally,including sham control group (Sham),BDL for 12 hours (BDL-12),24 hours (BDL-24),48 hours (BDL-48) and 72 hours (BDL-72)groups. The gallbladder specimens were collected by the end of study. Gallbladder pathological changes were observed with HE staining under light microscope. Three muscle strips were collected of each gallbladder,fixed in constant temperature water bath with different concentration of eight peptide cholecystokinin agonist (CCK-8,1010 mmol/L,10-9 mmol/L,10-8 mmol/L,10-7 mmol/L and 10-6mmol/L),acetylcholine (Ach,10-8 mmol/L,107 mmol/L,10-6 mmol/L,10-5 mmol/L,10-4 mmol/L)and potassium chloride (KC1) (60 mmol/L). The contraction activity of gallbladder muscle strips was recorded by tonotransducer. The ultrastracture changes of gallbladder ICC in sham,BDL-12 and BDL-72 groups was examined by transmission electron microscopy. Results There was no obvious inflammation in Sham and BDL-12 groups. Compared with sham group,there were significant differences of biology score of gallbladder in BDL-48 and BDL-72 groups (P<0. 05). After adding CCK-8,Ach and KC1,the contraction amplitude of gallbladder muscle increased in each group,and in dose-dependent manner. Compared with sham group,the effect value of each other groups decreased significantly (P<0. 05). Compared with sham group,the morphology of ICC changed in BDL-12group,and more obvious in BDL-72 group. Conclusion Biliary obstruction can induce AAC. At the earlier stage of ACC,the impaired contraction of gallbladder smooth muscle present even without gallbladder inflammation occurrence. ICC may play an important role in impaired contraction.

Background and purpose: Recent studies have shown that, the new gene PRR11 had abnormal expression in lung cancer, stomach cancer, speculated that it might be correlated with tumor progression. This study aimed to detect the expression of PRR11 protein in human pancreatic carcinoma, and to analyze the relationship between PRR11 protein level and the clinical pathological parameters of pancreatic carcinoma. Methods: Immunohistochemistry (SP) method was used to detect the expression of PRR11 protein in 32 cases of human pancreatic cancer tissues, 20 cases of paracancerous tissues and 6 cases of normal pancreatic tissue. Chi Square test was used to analyze the relationship between the expression levels of PRR11 protein and the clinical pathological parameters (age, gender, the size of tumor, the location of tumor, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage). Results:The positive expression rates of PRR11 protein in pancreatic cancers, paracancerous tissues and normal pancreatic tissues were 78.1%(25/32), 5.0%(1/20) and 0.0%(0/6), respectively. The expression level of PRR11 in pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than those in paracan-cerous tissues or normal tissues. The positive expression rate of PRR11 protein in pancreatic carcinoma was significantly associated with cell differentiation degree and TNM stage (P<0.05), but not associated with patient age, gender, the size of tumor, the location of tumor and lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). Survival analysis demonstrated that the survival rate in the patients with PRR11 protein positive expression was significantly lower than the patients with negative expression (P<0.05). Conclusion:PRR11 protein can be a possible prognostic indicator of pancreatic cancer.

Background The classical theory from Gass holds that idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is due to the dragging of vitreous cortex in the tangent direction on the macular region,while spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT)studies found that the diameters of inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) absence (DIOA) region was closely associated with vision ability of IMH patients.Enhanced depth imaging (EDI) is thought to be a new method to study the relation between DIOA and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) ,but there are few relevant reports.Objective This study aimed to observe the correlation between photoreceptor IS/OS junction and SFCT before and after vitrectomy in IMH by EDI SD-OCT.Methods Forty unilateral IMH patients were enrolled in Affiliated Foshan Hospital of Southern Medical University from June 2011 to June 2013.Vitrectomy (23G) was performed on the patients by the same operator.EDI mode of SD-OCT was used to measure DIOA and SFCT in horizontal direction before and 6 months after surgery.The relationship between DIOA and SFCT was evaluated using Pearson linear correlation analysis.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before medical assessment.Results IMH was anatomically closed after vitrectomy in 34 eyes with the closure rate 85%.The mean DIOA was (1 280±753) μm in preoperation, which was significantly higher than (656 ± 322) μm in postoperation (t =4.989, P =0.000).The mean SFCT was (130±43)μm in preoperation,showing a slight reduce in comparison with (140±38)μrn in postoperation, but there was not statistical significance between them (t =-1.407, P =0.175).Negative correlations were found between DIOA and SFCT in both preoperation and postoperation (preoperation:r=-0.748 ,P=0.000;postoperation: r=-0.686,P =0.001).Conclusions The alteration of DIOA shows a negative correlation with SFCT in IMH eyes,suggesting a contributing role of the choroid in the change of photoreceptors of IMH.
