Objective To investigate the risk factors of gallbladder carcinoma,so as to provide theoretical base for the prevention of gallbladder carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 153 patients with gallbladder carcinoma (gallbladder carcinoma group) who were admitted to the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 300 patients with cholecystolithiasis (cholecystolithiasis group) and 300 patients without gallbladder carcinoma or cholecystolithiasis (control group)were collected and matched at the ratio of 1∶2 to conduct the controlled study.Data were statistically analyzed by the Chi-square test and conditional Logistric regression.Results Univariate analysis showed significant difference in age,history of cholecystolithiasis,postmenopausal age,accumulated menstrual period,giving birth or not and number of birth between gallbladder carcinoma group and control group ( x2 =58.22,180.14,9.59,24.30,18.66,15.17,P ＜0.05).Age,history of cholecystolithiasis,accumulated menstrual period and number of birth were the independent risk factors of gallbladder carcinoma (x2 =55.76,180.95,24.30,8.54,P ＜ 0.05).The risk of having gallbladder carcinoma in patients who had a history of cholecystolithiasis was 34 times higher than those who did not have the history of cholecystolithiasis (OR =34.22).Late postmenopausal age (51 -55 years old),longer accumulated menstrual period ( ≥30 years),and the number of birth ( 3 times) were associated with higher risk of gallbladder carcinoma (OR =3.96,9.68,3.51 ). Age,course of cholecystolithiasis and accumulated menstrual period and number of birth were the risk factors of gallbladder carcinoma when comparing patients who have history of cholecystolithiasis in the gallbladder carcinoma group with those in the cholecystolithiasis group (x2 =70.66,16.66,11.59,4.69,P ＜ 0.05 ).Age,course of cholecystolithiasis and accumulated menstrual period were the independent risk factors of gallbladder carcinoma ( x2 =64.29,8.82,5.58,P ＜ 0.05).The risk of gallbladder carcinoma increased as the increase of age and course of cholecystolithiasis. The accumulated menstrual period ≥ 30 years was also a risk factor of gallbladder carcinoma. Conclusions Age,history of cholecystolithiasis,course of cholecystolithiasis,accumulated menstrual period and number of birth may be the risk factors of gallbladder carcinoma.For patients with age above 60 years and course of cholecystolithiasis above 3 years,cholecystectomy should be conducted to reduce the incidence of gallbladder carcinoma,and great importance should be attached to female patients with indications mentioned above.

Objective To explore risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with gallstone disease. Methods The clinical data of 429 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients complicated with gallstone disease (case group) and 2145 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without gallstone disease (control group) were collected from the Health Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2007 to May 2010. According to sure (SBP), diastolic blood pressnre (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-CH), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-CH) and body mass index (BMI) were statistically analyzed by fourfold table chi-square test or conditional Logistic regression.Results Univariate analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the levels of SBP, FBG, TC, HDL-CH and BMI between the case group and the control group (x2 =20.323, 4.365, 4.028, 7.049, 7.319, P＜0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that SBP, TC, HDL-CH and BMI were risk factors for gallstone disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (x2 = 18. 047, 6. 905, 12. 884, 7. 557, P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Increased SBP, TC and BMI and decreased HDL-CH may be the risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with gallstone disease.

Objective To analyze the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) in hippocampal of rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) after injection of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) supernatant into the lateral ventricle of the neonate rats,assess the ability of learning and memory,and explore the mechanism.Methods 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,cells and supernatant group,with 20 rats in each group.The HIBD model was established via the ligation of left carotid arteries followed by 2-hour hypoxia.One week later,rats in control group were injected with 0.01 mol/L PBS 2 μl via the left ventricle.Meanwhile,the cell and the supernatant groups were injected with BMSCs and supernatant harvested from BMSC culture,respectively,via the same route.In the sham operation group,the left carotid arteries were separated but not ligated,and no hypoxia treatment was imposed on this group.They also received 0.01 mol/L PBS injection 2 μl per weak post surgery.8 weeks later,Morris water maze test was performed to assess the learning and memory,and the expression of GFAP in the dentate gyrus of rats was measured by immunohistochemistry.Results Morris water maze showed that the searching time of the probe trail(T1:(15.40±2.80) s) and reversal probe trail (T2:(16.45± 1.16) s) of the model group was shorter than that of the sham operation group (T1:(19.96±2.57) s,T2:(2:25.32±2.54)s,P＜0.05),while the searching time of the cell group(T1:(17.54± 1.80)s,T2:(18.99± 1.47) s) and supernatant group (T1:(17.40±2.37) s,T2:(17.96± 1.09) s) was prolonged compared with that of the model group (P＜0.05).No significant difference between the cell group and the supernatant group (P＞0.05).The integral optical density (IOD) value of GFAP positive cells was higher in the model group than that in the sham operation group(15.26±1.49 vs 12.82±2.56,P＜0.05),while the IOD of cell group(18.13±1.97) and that of the supernatant group(17.38± 1.64) were higher than that of the model group (P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the cell group and the supernatant group (9＞0.05).Conclusion BMSC supernatant injected through lateral ventricle can improve the HIBD rats' abilities of learning and memory.The mechanism might be that MSCs secrete some cytokines to promote central nervous system repair.

objective:To study the etiopathogenisis、clinical features、diagnosis and treatments of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus. Method:Two cases of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus without any symptoms was reported with relevant literature review.Result: No aggravation was found after 6 months-follow-up.Conclusion:The cranial fibrous displasia has low incidence rate with non-specific symptoms and high rate of misdiagnosis. The monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus without any symptom is rarely seen clinically. Imageological examination,for example,CT and MRI,is valuable for the diagnosis of this disease. The histopathological evidence is absolutely necessary to make definite diagnosis. The conservative treatment may be chosen for the asymptomatic cases. Nasal Endoscopic surgery can not only remove the diseased region but also make diagnosis.The long-term follow-up should be carried out in all of these patients.
