ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of modified Buyang Huanwu Tang on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury （CI/RI） in mice via the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1/E3 ubiquitin ligase （PINK1/Parkin） signaling pathway-mediated mitophagy， and to explore the underlying mechanism by which modified Buyang Huanwu Tang improves CI/RI. MethodsSeventy-two male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups （n = 12 per group）： Sham-operated group， middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion （MCAO/R） model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose modified Buyang Huanwu Tang groups （8.84， 17.68， 35.36 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and an aspirin group （13.00 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）. Neurological deficit scores were assessed using the Zea-Longa method. Cerebral infarct volume ratio was measured by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Histopathological changes and neuronal injury in brain tissues were observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Nissl staining. Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL） assay. Mitochondrial ultrastructure in brain tissue was observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. Serum levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and malondialdehyde （MDA） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The mRNA and protein expression levels of PINK1， Parkin， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B， LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ）， and p62 in brain tissues were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR （Real-time PCR） and Western blot， respectively. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the MCAO/R model group showed significantly increased neurological deficit scores and cerebral infarct volume ratios （P<0.01）. Severe cortical injury on the infarct side was observed， characterized by decreased neuronal density， cytoplasmic vacuolation， nuclear pyknosis， a marked reduction in Nissl bodies， dissolution of Nissl bodies in the cytoplasm of some pyramidal neurons， and blurred cellular boundaries. The number of TUNEL-positive cells increased significantly （P<0.01）. Mitochondria exhibited cristae membrane rupture and matrix vacuolation， with rupture of the outer mitochondrial membrane and formation of autophagosomes， the number of which increased significantly. Serum SOD activity decreased significantly （P<0.01）， while MDA content increased significantly （P<0.01）. In infarcted brain tissues of model mice， the relative mRNA expression and protein levels of PINK1， Parkin and LC3B were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， whereas p62 mRNA and protein expression were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， showing statistical significance. Compared with the model group， all treatment groups showed significantly decreased neurological deficit scores and cerebral infarct volume ratios （P<0.01）. Neuronal density increased significantly， cytoplasmic vacuolation was alleviated， nuclear morphology tended to be more regular and clearer， Nissl body density increased significantly with reduced dissolution and improved contour clarity. The mitochondrial cristae structure was partially restored， with some mitochondria showing autophagosome encapsulation， and the degree of mitochondrial damage was alleviated. Serum SOD activity increased significantly （P<0.01）， while MDA content decreased significantly. The mRNA and protein expression levels of PINK1， Parkin， and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while p62 mRNA and protein expression in the low- and medium-dose modified Buyang Huanwu Tang groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， showing statistical significance. ConclusionModified Buyang Huanwu Tang can upregulate the protein expression levels of PINK1， Parkin， and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ and downregulate p62 protein expression， suggesting that it may improve CI/RI by regulating the expression of proteins related to the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway. Regulation of the mitophagy pathway may be one of the mechanisms by which modified Buyang Huanwu Tang alleviates CI/RI in mice.

IL-32 is a multifunctional cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties.It has been proved that expression of IL-32 increases with progression of gastric mucosal diseases and severity of gastric cancer(GC),thus participating in process of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation.However,how IL-32 affects malignant transformation of gastric"inflamma-tion-cancer"and finally leads to adverse outcome of GC invasion and migration is still controversial.In order to better clarify regulatory effect and possible mechanism of abnormal expression of IL-32 on different histopathological stages of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation,and to explore new directions and breakthroughs in molecular mechanism of early truncation and treatment of gastric precancerous lesion(GPL),we searched literatures related to IL-32 in six authoritative databases at home and abroad,such as Pubmed,Web of Science and CNKI,in past 30 years.It was found that pathogenicity or protective function of IL-32 in different histo-pathological stages of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation depended on its different subtypes,secretory forms,surrounding cytokine environment,disease status and genetic factors.IL-32 may regulate polarization of macrophages through NF-κB,MAPK,COX2,PR3,IDO,NOD,PKCδ,FAK and STAT3,amplify or inhibit chronic inflammatory stimulation of gastric mucosa,and thus participate in process of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation.Our new understanding of role of IL-32 in different stages of Cor-rea cascade may contribute to development of cytokine-directed therapy,and therapy aimed at regulating different alternative splicing subtypes of IL-32 and targeting IL-32 signals can be used as a new strategy for medical treatment of GPL and GC in future.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) in the treatment of refractory common bile duct stones after retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods Data of 13 patients who underwent peroral direct cholangioscopy for refractory common bile duct stones after retrograde cholangiopancreatography at our institution from April 2012 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Completion rate,side-effects and complications were summarized.Results Peroral direct cholangioscopy was successfully performed with electrohydraulic lithotripsy and stones were removed in 12 of the 13 patients.Lithotripsy and stone removal failed in one patient,though the ultraslim endoscope accessed distal common bile duct near the stone.Stones were removed directly with extraction basket under PDCS in 7 patients,and duodenoscopy was performed in 5 patients due to too many stone fragments.Stone removal was successfully completed at one time in 9 cases.Stones removal failed in 3 cases at one time because of too many stone fragments,but was successful with duodenoscopy a week later after a temporary biliary tract stenting.Andoxygen saturation decreased in one patient due to vomit during the operation.Sputum in oropharyngeal area was immediately sucked out and the gastric juice at the bottom of the stomach was also sucked by endoscopy.Oxygen saturation returned to normal levels and the subsequent operation was not affected.No aspiration pneumonia occurred after the operation.Hyperamylasemia occurred in two patients,and postoperative biliary tract infection occurred in one,but the situation was controlled after appropriate treatment.Conclusion PDOS using an ultraslim endoscopy is an effective and feasible endoscopic procedure for the refractory common bile duct stones.This study provides a new method for the treatment of refractory common bile duct stones.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of peroral cholangioscopy for residual stones after retrograde chalangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods The soft-tipped guidewire (0.021in) was linked to 3-0 silk thread on the front of extraction balloon catheter outside as a guide device.After retrograde chalangiopancreato-graphy (ERCP) for common bile duct stones,extraction balloon with the guide device was sent to intrahepatic bile duct by duodenoscopy,and residual stones were observed and removed with a stone basket directly under ultrathin upper endoscope if the residual stones were small ; if the stones were large,they were crushed with electrohydraulic lithotripsy before being removed.Results The ultrathin upper endoscope were successfully inserted into hilar bile duct in 42 cases of 46 patients,and failed in 4 cases,and the success rate of insertion was 91.3％.The mean time was 11.3 min from the mouth into hilar bile duct.Stones were found larger than 4 mm in diameter in 6 of 42 patients,and stone residual rate was 14.3％.The biggest stone was 10 mm× 12 mm in diameter.Stones were found in in 2 of 27 patients after ERCP,and the stone residual rate was 7.4％.Stones were found in 4 of 15 patients after ERCP basket lithotripsy,and the stone residual rate was 26.7％.Stones were removed directly in 5 in 6 cases with extraction basket,they were crushed in 1 case by electrohydraulic lithotripsy and then removed with basket.No serious complications were observed.Conclusion The application of peroral cholangioscopy using an ultrathin upper endoscope is feasible.The method is a useful endoscopic procedure for extraction of residual stones,which helps to avoid repeated treatment.
