Objective To make a clinical summary of the variation of cystic duct so as to collect 20 years of operative experience and to provide evidence for preventing injury of bile duct in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods A retrospective analysis were made for 20 000 patients experienced laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the second affiliated hospital of Chongqing medical university and Chonggang General Hospital from April,1993 to December,2011. Results There were 3 265 cases of cystic duct variation which occupied 16. 33% of the 20 000 patients. And there were 3 200 cases of variation in the junction of cystic duct, 51 cases of short cystic duct;and 14 cases of gall-bladder surrounded by the liver. Most of the variation were found in the junction of cystic duct, including 371 cases (11. 36%) of cystic duct accompanied the common hepatic duct and then made a lower confluence;995 cases (30. 47%) of cystic duct traversed above the com-mon hepatic duct and then made a confluence, 643 cases (19. 69%) of cystic duct traversed below the common hepatic duct and then made a confluence;963 cases (29. 49%) of gallbladder neck attached to the common bile duct;and 228 cases (6. 98%) of higher confluence of cystic duct and common bile duct. Conclusion The rate of cystic duct variation accounted for a high rate, and most of the patients were found with a variation in the junction of cystic duct. Being familiar with the categories of cystic duct, discriminating the anatomic structure carefully, using choledochoscopic examination when necessary, and masterting reasonable time to make a transfer to laparocholecystotomy were reliable methods for coping with the injury of bile duct caused by variation of cystic duct.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of NanoString fluorescent barcode technology in the molecular subtyping of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to analyze the correlation between the cell-of-origin subtype and prognosis of patients.Methods:The tumor tissue samples of 12 patients with DLBCL at the Third People's Hospital of Datong of Shanxi Province and 8 patients with DLBCL at Peking University, Health Science Center between January 2014 and December 2019 were collected. According to Hans algorithm, all patients were divided into 1 case of germinal center-derived B-cell (GCB) type and 19 cases of non-GCB type. NanoString platform was used to analyze the expression level differences of 15 genes-related to Lymph2Cx molecular subtyping of all samples at mRNA level. Hierarchical clustering was used to subgroup 20 DLBCL cases and to contrast the prognosis in different subgroups according to the subtyping.Results:NanoString fluorescent barcode technology was used to detect samples of 20 DLBCL cases and hierarchical clustering analysis was performed, and then subtyping results showed that 11 cases were GCB-like type and 9 cases were activated B cell (ABC)-like type. Based on Hans algorithm, 10 GCB-like cases were non-GCB type. According to the survival analysis, GCB-like group had a better overall survival compared with that in ABC-like group ( P=0.019). Conclusion:NanoString fluorescent barcode technology can be successfully applied to the cell-of-origin subtyping of DLBCL, and the molecular subtyping strategy can effectively predict the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-92a in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its effect on the regulation mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis. Methods:The miRNA-92a expression in 25 CRC tissues and HT29, SW620, SW480, and HCT116 CRC cells was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The CD31 positive expression of blood microvessels in CRC tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between miR-92a and tu-mor angiogenesis. The miR-92a mimic or inhibitor was transfected into HCT116 and SW620 cells in vitro to upregulate or downregu-late the miR-92a expression. The effect of miR-92a overexpression or suppression on the formation of human umbilical vein endotheli-al cell (HUVEC) tubules was detected by tube formation assay. Changes in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) protein expression were measured by Western blot. Results:The expression level of miR-92a in CRC tissues was significantly higher than that in matched adjacent tissues (P<0.01). The expression levels of miR-92a in HT29, SW480, SW620, and HCT116 colon cancer cell lines were signifi-cantly higher than that of the normal colorectal epithelium control (P<0.05). The number of CD31 positive expression of microvessel density (MVD) in CRC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.01), and the miR-92a expression level was posi-tively correlated with the MVD in CRC tissues (r=0.580, P=0.01). The cell culture supernatant of HCT116 with miR-92a overexpression could significantly promote the formation of HUVEC tubules (P<0.05). The upregulation of miR-92a expression could significantly inhib-it the expression of PTEN protein in CRC cells (P<0.01). Conclusion:The miR-92a was highly expressed in CRC cells and tissues, which was closely related to the formation of tumor angiogenesis in CRC. The miR-92a could promote tumor angiogenesis in CRC by inhibit-ing PTEN expression.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of exercise intervention on sleep quality of female college students with anxiety, and to further explore the mediating effect of negative emotions in this association.
Methods:
Seventy female college students were randomly divided into experimental group (34 patients) and control group(36 patients). The experimental group received eight-week aerobic exercise and yoga training. The control group received no training. Sleep Quality Scale, Negative Emotion Scale and Anxiety Self-rating Scale were used to assess the level of sleep and negative emotion before and after exercise intervention.
Results:
After exercise intervention, sleep quality (4.31±1.26), anxiety (36.41±7.32) and negative emotion (2.37±0.50) in the experimental group significantly improved(P<0.01), no similar changes were found in the control group(P<0.05). By examining the mediating effects, negative emotions played a partial mediating role in the association between exercise and sleep quality(t=6.77, P<0.01).
Conclusion
Exercise intervention significantly improved the quality of sleep and negative emotion among female college students with anxiety. Negative emotions play a partial role in the positive effect of exercise on sleep quality.
