ObjectiveTo investigate the features and methods of clinical diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with acute calculous cholecystitis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of elderly patients who were diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis in 451 Hospital of PLA from June 2012 to June 2015. After admission, all patients received fasting treatment, electrocardiographic monitoring, anti-infective therapy, and maintenance of body fluid balance and stable blood pressure and glucose. According to patients condition choose laparoscopic cholecystectomy open cholecystectomy, open cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. ResultsA total of 129 patients were enrolled; among these patients, 119 had acute calculous cholecystitis, 2 had gallstones with adenomatous hyperplasia of the gallbladder mucosa, 6 had pyogenic cholecystitis, and 2 had gallbladder gangrene. Among the patients enrolled, 52 were complicated by at least one internal disease. Among them, 67 underwent emergency surgery since there were no significant improvements in symptoms, and 62 showed relief of symptoms and underwent surgical treatment at other times. Of all patients, 108 underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 9 underwent laparoscopy and were converted to open cholecystectomy, and 9 underwent open cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. All the surgeries were successful and all the patients were cured and discharged. There were no deaths. ConclusionElderly patients with acute calculous cholecystitis are in a critical condition and often complicated by various internal diseases. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly used therapeutic method. Clinicians should be fully prepared before surgery, take the perioperative management seriously, and accurately judge the surgical indications and timing.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of Mirizzi syndrome in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 32 patients who underwent LC in the 451 Hospital of PLA from December 2006 to December 2014 and experienced Mirizzi syndrome during the perioperative period. Intraoperative diagnosis, selection of surgical procedures, and evaluation of treatment outcome were summarized. ResultsAmong these patients with Mirizzi syndrome, 8 were diagnosed before surgery and 24 were diagnosed during LC. According to the Csendes classification, 23 patients had type Ⅰ, 7 had type Ⅱ, 1 had type Ⅲ, and 1 had type Ⅳ Mirizzi syndrome. A total of 30 patients completed LC, and they all had type I or Ⅱ Mirizzi syndrome. One patient with type Ⅱ disease underwent LC and common bile duct exploration. Two patients with type Ⅲ or Ⅳ disease were converted to open surgery; the type Ⅲ patient underwent bile duct end-to-end anastomosis, and the type Ⅳ patient underwent choledochoenterostomy. ConclusionMirizzi syndrome is difficult to diagnose, and ultrasonography is the preferred method of examination. A combination of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can improve preoperative diagnostic rate. Most cases of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ Mirizzi syndrome can be treated by LC. Open surgery should be considered for type Ⅲ and Ⅳ cases to avoid biliary tract injury.

Objective To observe the effects of different levels of sodium arsenite ( NaAsO2) on mRNA expression of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and apoptosis-related factors in PC12 cells ( rat neuron properties pheochromocytoma). Methods PC12 cells were treated with different levels of NaAsO2 [0 (control group), 2, 5, 10 μmol/L] for 24 hours. The mRNA expression of PEDF and apoptosis-related factors (Bax, Bcl-2) were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results There were significant differences in the mRNA expressions of PEDF between the 4 groups (F=102.28, P<0.05), the mRNA expressions of PEDF in the group of 2, 5, 10μmol/L (0.70 ± 0.07, 0.33 ± 0.04, 0.23 ± 0.10) was lower than that of control group (1.15 ± 0.11, P< 0.05); there were no significant differences in the mRNA expressions of Bax between the 4 groups (0, 2, 5, 10 μmol/L groups: 0.95 ± 0.12, 0.80 ± 0.11, 0.88 ± 0.11, 1.01 ± 0.11, F= 2.01, P> 0.05); there were significant differences in the mRNA expressions of Bcl-2 between the 4 groups (F=19.87, P<0.05), the mRNA expressions of Bcl-2 in the group of 2, 5, 10 μmol/L (0.65 ± 0.03, 0.49 ± 0.04, 0.57 ± 0.09) were lower than that of control group (0.95 ± 0.11, all P<0.05);there were significant differences in the mRNA expressions of Bax/Bcl-2 between the 4 groups (F=8.352, P<0.05), the mRNA expressions of in the group of 5, 10μmol/L (1.80 ± 0.72, 1.82 ± 0.36) were higher than that of control group (1.02 ± 0.24, all P<0.05). Conclusion NaAsO2 may increase the expression of apoptosis-related factorsBax/Bcl-2 mRNA by decreasing the expression of PEDF mRNA in PC12 cells, leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells.

Objective To trace changes in the transcript level of the Treponema pallidum(Tp)protein Tp0751 in skin lesions of a rabbit model of early syphilis. Methods Three New Zealand white rabbits were intracutaneously injected with 0.1 ml of Tp (Nichols Seattle strains)suspensions (107 treponemes/ml)at 10 sites on the shaved back to establish a model of early syphilis. All the rabbits received a single injection with the total amount of treponemes being 107. Then, skin changes at injection sites were observed, and the size of skin rashes was recorded on a daily basis. Skin specimens sized 0.4 cm × 0.4 cm were excised from an injection site and a non-injection site(negative control)separately every 3 days for the detection of Tp0751 and Tp0574 mRNAs. The whole experiment lasted 30 days, and a total of 11 skin biopsies were carried out. Fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of Tp0751 and Tp0574 continuously and dynamically during the development of chancre. Results After intracutaneous injection of Tp suspensions, red papules occurred on the back of rabbits on day 6, and reached maximum size on day 19 with the formation of ulcer and chancre. On day 25, disseminated secondary syphilides gradually appeared all over the body surface of the rabbits. The mRNA expression levels of Tp0574 and Tp0751 increased at the early stage, peaked onday 15 (compared with the other time points, all P < 0.05), thereafter rapidly declined, but rose slightly on day 27. The standardized expression level of Tp0751 mRNA increased gradually after day 15, and peaked on day 24 (compared with the other time points, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The transcript level of Tp0751 was high in rabbits at the late stage of Tp clearance when generalized disseminated secondary syphilides had not appeared, suggesting that Tp0751 may be involved in the systemic spread of Tp.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of a novel mobile health patient management system involving doctors, nurses, and patients ( TRIO mode) on glycemic control and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) compliance among the type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) patients using basal insulin standardization treatment in China. Methods From April 2014 to April 2015, 416 hospitals in 110 cities of 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across China were selected to participate in the program. A Online-to-Offline ( O2O) integrated mobile health patients management system with mobile terminals for the doctors, nurses, and patients was applied in the program for patient education, follow-up, and data collection. For all the newly recruited patients, the baseline information was collected and a first-day patient education program were provided by a designated nurse. In the 12-week follow-up period, data of basal insulin doses and fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) values were collected from the patients by text messages or tracking phone call by the nurse. The patients also received timely standardized patients health education and glycemic control guidance by participating in thepatient education forum anddoctors' hotline in order to help them achieve the glycemic control goals. Results A total of 102 524 patients using basal insulin treatment were eligible and enrolled in the program. 64 420 patients completed the 12 weeks follow-up and provided at least one FPG value at all five follow-ups. In total, 62. 6% (40 334 / 64 420) of the patients reached the FPG control target(FPG≤7. 0 mmol/ L) at the end of follow-up period. The weekly average FPG for patients with complete SMBG data decreased from 10. 58 mmol/ L to 6. 91 mmol/ L while the FPG control rates increased from 13. 4% to 69. 2% . The weekly average FPG for the patients provided incomplete SMBG data decreased from 10. 54 mmol/ L to 7. 13 mmol/ L while the FPG control rates increased from 13. 6% to 62. 2% . The FPG control rates for the patients provided complete SMBG were 1. 74 times higher than those patients provided incomplete SMBG. Based on a GEE model, the average decline of the FPG and the increase of the FPG control rates were significantly better for patients who provided complete SMBG as compared to the patients with incomplete SMBG data. The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that factors such as receiving the first-day education, participating in the follow-up patient education forum, and the doctors' hotline were significantly associated with the improvement of the SMBG compliance, the treatment adherence, and the FPG control rates. The SMBG compliance and the treatment adherence for patients who completed first-day education were 1. 68 times and 1. 22 times higher, respectively. For the patients who participated in follow-up education activities, their SMBG compliance and treatment adherence were 3. 17 times and 3. 36 times higher, respectively. Conclusion The innovativeTRIOmobile health patient management mode was feasible and effective for better managing the type 2 diabetes patients initiated on basal insulin treatment in China. Active participation in the first-day education program and the follow-up patient education activities can effectively improve the SMBG compliance and the treatment adherence, and therefore play an important role in helping patient achieving FPG control in a faster manner.
