Objective:To analyze the factors influencing prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after surgical resection.Methods:The clinical data of patients diagnosed with ICC and who underwent surgical resection from December 2015 to December 2019 at the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Of 39 patients who were included in this study, there were 23 males and 16 females, with age of (54.1±7.2) years old. The body mass index, hepatitis B virus infection status, tumor diameter, degree of differentiation, microvascular tumor thrombus, lymph node metastasis, and serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were analyzed as risk factors affecting postoperative recurrence and survival.Results:The median times to recurrence were significantly better in patients with a tumour length <5 cm (11 vs. 5 months), patients without microvascular tumor thrombus (54 vs. 6 months) and patients without lymph node metastasis (8 vs. 5 months) (all P<0.05). The median survival of patients with CA19-9≥100 U/ml was significantly shorter than that of patients with CA19-9<100 U/ml, (9 vs. 27 months, P<0.05). Tumor diameter>5 cm, microvascular tumor thrombus, lymph node metastasis, and CA19-9 ≥100 U/ml are risk factors affecting the recurrence time after ICC resection, CA19-9 ≥100 U/ml is a risk factor affecting survival time after ICC resection. Conclusion:Tumor diameter, microvascular tumor thrombus, lymph node metastasis and CA19-9 can be used to estimate the risk of ICC recurrence, and CA19-9 level can be used to estimate postoperative survival of ICC patients after resection.
2.Prevalence and risk factors of thyroid nodules in the physical examination population in Shenyang
Journal of Public Health and Preventive Medicine 2020;31(6):125-128
Objective To understand the prevalence of thyroid nodules in the physical examination population in Shenyang, and analyze its related risk factors. Methods Between January 2015 and May 2019, 920 people who underwent thyroid ultrasound examination in the medical examination center of our hospital were enrolled, and their clinical data were collected. The prevalence of thyroid nodules and the related risk factors influencing the disease were statistically analyzed. Results The prevalence of thyroid nodules in the 920 people who underwent physical examination was 44.02% (405/920), including 38.13% (212/556) in males and 53.02% (193/364) in females, with the prevalence rate gradually increasing with age (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female, old age, obesity, permanent residence in rural areas, high TG, high FPG, and combined metabolic syndrome were high risk factors for thyroid nodules (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of thyroid nodules in the physical examination population in Shenyang was relatively high, which was related to age, gender, BMI, residence, and glucose and lipid metabolism. It is necessary to strengthen prevention and publicity and disease screening for high-risk groups to improve the prevention and treatment of thyroid nodules.

Objective:To observe the impact of herb-partitioned moxibustion and electroacupuncture on hyaluronic acid(HA),procollagen Ⅲ(PC Ⅲ)and collagen Ⅳ(CⅣ)of intestinal fibrosis in rats with Crohn's disease(CD),and discuss the effect and the mechanism of acupuncture on treating intestinal fibrosis of rats.Methods:SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,herb-partitioned moxibustion group,electroacupuncture group and medicine group.The model of CD was developed by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid.Masson stain was used to observe the collagen fibers hyperplasia in colon and radioimmunoassay was adopted to detect the content of HA,PC Ⅲ and C Ⅳ in serum.Results:Compared with the control group,the proliferation of colonic collagen fibers,as well as the HA,PC Ⅲ and CⅣ in serum increased in the model group.Compared with the model group,the expression of collagen fibers,serum HA,PC Ⅲ and C Ⅳ decreased in the herb-partitioned moxibustion group,electroacupuncture group and medicine group.The expression of collagen fibers serum HA,PC Ⅲ and C Ⅳ in the herb-partitioned moxibustion group were lower than in the electroacupuncture group and medicine group.Conclusion:Herb-partitioned moxibustion and electroacupuncture effectively improved the pathological state of intestinal fibrosis in rats with CD and reduced the content of HA,PC Ⅲ and C Ⅳ in serum.
