Gallstone ileus is a rare and potentially serious complication of cholelithiasis.Its clinical symptoms are nonspecific.From March 2005 to September 2012,19 patients with gallstone ileus confirmed by surgery or endoscopy were admitted to the Pudong New Area People's Hospital.The accuracies of X-ray,uhrasonography,CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were 0/10,0/5,19/19 and 9/9,respectively.CT examination might be the first choice for diagnosing gallstone ileus ; the classical computed tomography (CT) presentation of gallstone ileus was the Rigler triad,including pneumobilia,ectopic stone and mechanical ileus; MRI examination was superior to CT examination in exposing the fistula,and can provide abundant information,which is important for designing the surgical procedures and judging the prognosis; X-ray and ultrasonography are beneficial in screening the diseases.

BACKGROUND: Construction of animal models of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis and evaluation have become a new issue of concern.OBJECTIVE: To describe the research progress of animal models of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis at home and abroad, and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each method. METHODS: The keywords were "cervical vertigo, basal-vertebral ischemia, cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type, animal, model" in Chinese and English, respectively. CNKI, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were retrieved for the articles published from 1998 to 2018. Chinese and English articles on animal modeling of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion diagnosis criteria of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Through induction and analysis, modeling methods include hardener injection, bone graft compression, dynamic imbalance, blood stasis blocking collaturation, vertebral artery ligation and mixed modeling method. Of them, hardener injection method is most commonly used. Bone graft compression method is the most similar pathogenesis to the human body. However, the disadvantage is that the modeling is difficult and the size of the bone block is various. So the bone is not in the right position. Dynamic imbalance method can cause cervical spine imbalanced by resecting the unilateral muscle and bone. This method has high operability, but has long modeling period. Although ligating or clipping the unilateral vertebral artery is easy to operate, the pathogenesis of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis is not just vertebral artery stenosis, which ignores the influence of humoral factors, sympathetic nerves and vertebral nerves on the blood flow velocity and lumen size of vertebral artery. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. The evaluation criteria, time and success rate are different.

Objective To investigate the effect of thymosin ?1 (T?1) on cellular immune function in gastric cancer patients through observing its treatment on the differentiation of T-lymphocyte subsets from screened peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Methods PBMCs were obtained by centrifugation of blood samples from 18 healthy subjects and 32 patients with gastric cancer,and then cultured in the presence of culture medium with addition of T?1 at 50,10 and 1 ?g/ml for 2 d. T lymphocyte subsets (such as CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells) and Th1/Th2 multiplex cytokines were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results After PBMCs isolated from healthy people and patients were incubated with or without T?1,there was no significant change in percentage of CD4+,CD8+ peripheral lymphocyte subsets and ratio of CD4+/CD8+. There was no obvious change in the percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ T lymphocyte subsets in the normal control,but a significant increase was observed in the cells from patients with gastric cancer after treatment (P
