Objective To observe the effects of laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy in the treatment of polypoid lesions of gallbladder and the effects on postoperative rehabilitation of patients. Methods 78 cases of patients with polypoid lesions of gallbladder treated in our hospital from August 2011 to November 2014 were selected as the study object. According to the order of medical treatment and hospital admission , the patients were numbered and randomly divided into laparoscopy group and combined group , with 39 cases in each group. The laparoscopy group were treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy while the combined group were treated by laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy gallbladder-protection surgery. The operation indicators , recovery of gastrointestinal function and incidence of postoperative complications in the two groups were observed. After discharge , the 2 groups of patients were followed up for 1 year. The improvement of postoperative digestive tract symptoms and rehabilitation of patients was observed. Results The intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative fasting time, defecation time and hospitalization time of the combined group [(20.13 ± 7.48) mL, (0.51 ± 0.98) d, (1.20 ± 0.84) d, (1.98 ± 1.54)d] were less than those of the laparoscopy group (P <0.05); The incidence rate of complications in the combined group (10.26%) was lower than that in the laparoscopy group (33.33%) (P < 0.05); Immediately at the end of operation and 1 week after operation, VAS scores of the combined group [(4.23 ± 0.41), (2.46 ± 0.17) ] were lower than those in the laparoscopy group (P < 0.05); At the last follow-up, KPS score of the combined group increased to (89.98 ± 1.24), which was higher than that in the laparoscopy group (P < 0.05); GradeⅠpostoperative recovery in the combined group accounted for 87.18% which was higher than that in the laparoscopy group (64.10%). There was no case of grade III and the proportion was lower than that in the laparoscopy group (15.38%). The differences in proportions of grade I and III between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion To adopt laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy in the treatment of polypoid lesions of gallbladder , the curative effect is certain and the minimally invasive advantage is obvious. The long-term recovery effect is good and the safety is high.

During the central nervous system (CNS) development, the interactions between intrinsic genes and extrinsic environment ensure that each neuronal developmental stage (eg. neuronal proliferation, differentiation, migration, axon extension, dendritogenesis and formation of functional synapses) occurs in the proper timing and sequence. The successful coordination requires that numerous groups of genes are exquisitely regulated in a spatiotemporal manner by various regulatory mechanisms, including sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins, histone modifications, DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, and microRNAs (miRNAs). By targeting chromatin structure, transcription and translation processes, these mechanisms form a regulatory network to accomplish the fine regulation of gene expression in response to environmental stimuli at different developmental stages. Dysregulation of the gene expression during neuronal development has been shown to be implicated in a number of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Rett syndrome (RTT), Fragile-X syndrome (FXS) and other genetic diseases. The further understanding of the regulation of gene expression during neuronal development may provide new approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

Ectopic ACTH syndrome caused by adrenal pheochromocytoma is very rare.A case was herewith reported and the domestic and foreign literatures were reviewed.The correct diagnosis of the syndrome depends on clinical,biochemical,hormonal,radiographic,pathological investigations,as well as tumor immunohistochemistry for final comprehensive judgments.

Objective Observing the effect of Shuganyishen formula on hormone-dependant metastatic breast cancer and the mechanisms of anti-resistance and endocrine therapy. Methods 226 ITT cases were divided into two cohorts by treatment. 126 cases were treated with the combination of Shuganyishen formula and standard western medicine including endocrine therapy, and 100 cases were treated with western medicine alone. The end points were time to progress (TTP) and overall survival and quality of life (QOF). The effect of Shuganyishen formula on growth of TAM-resistance cell line in vitro was observed. Results There were statistical significances of median TTP between combination and western medicine in Luminal A (ER+ /PR+, HER2-) as well as Luminal B (ER+/PR+, HER2+), but no significances of OS; The extent and incidence of hot flush, sweat and syndromes related to bone were decreased significantly in combination treated group. Shuganyishen formula could reverse resistance to TAM. Conclusion Patients with LuminalA and LuminalB metastatic breast cancer benefit from Shuganyishen formula, which maybe related with its reverse resistance to endocrine therapy.

Objective To observe the effect of combined treatment with rhTRAIL(recombinant human TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand) and selective Cox-2 inhibitor Celecoxib on gallbladder carcinoma in vitro and to explore the possible mechanism of the effect. Methods Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of c-FLIP and death receptors after treatment by Celecoxib. Apoptosis of gallbladder cell line SGC-996 after the combined treatment with Celecoxib and rhTRAIL was detected in three ways: (1) phase microscopy of the cells, (2) detection of effector caspase-3 and caspase-7 activity, and (3) determination of the proportion of apoptotic cells labeled by Annexin V-PI flow cytometric analysis using CELLQUEST software. Results Celecoxib down-regulated the expression of c-FLIPs and up-regulated the expression of DR5 in a dose- and time-dependent mode on cell line SGC-996. Apoptotic levels in the combined treatment group in cell line SGC-996 were significantly higher than those in the single drug treatment group and control group. Conclusion Celecoxib markedly sensitized rhTRAIL-induced apoptosis through the down-regulation of c-FLIPs and up-regulation of DR5 in gallbladder carcinoma cell line SGC-996.

Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid nodules with calcification and thyroid carcinoma and its significance in the screening of thyroid carcinoma in high risk group.Methods The clinical data of 1771 patient undergoing surgery for thyroid nodules from March, 2006 to March, 2009 in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 1771 patients, 500 were finally identified as having malignant tumors. Incidence of calcification in thyroid carcinoma was 68. 4%, and that in benign thyroid nodules was 27.0% ( χ2 = 259. 5, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The specificity of microcalcification for the diagnosis of carcinoma was 89. 4%, and its positive predictive value was 66. 3% ( χ2 = 368.6, P ＜ 0. 01 ). The incidence of thyroid carcinoma in patients ＜ 45 years was 39.2%, while that in patients ≥ 45 years was 22.9% ( χ2 = 51.12, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The incidence of carcinoma in patients of single thyroid nodule was 31.7% and that in those with multiple nodules was 26. 4% (χ2 =4. 766,P ＜ 0. 05). Metastasis was pathologically diagnosed in 26. 8% of lymph nodes found by preoperative ultrasonography. Conclusions The specificity of thyroid nodule calcification, especially microcalcification is high for the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma. High-risk index for carcinoma includes thyroid nodules with microcalcification, ＜ 45 years old and single thyroid nodule.

MicroRNA(miRNA) is a kind of small non-coding RNA which contents 18-25 nucleotide (nt). MiRNA plays an important role in human tumor of digestive system. Recently lots of research demonstrates that miRNA can act either as oncogenes or as tumor suppressor genes or sometimes as both. And many families of miRNAs'targets have been found. So the study of miRNA will supply a new way to the diagnosis and therapy of digestive diseases.

Teaching in out-patient clinic is a new and unique teaching mode,which is characteristic of one-to-one tutoring experiences.Students are put in the key positions while mentors serve as assistants in the whole process.By means of repeated practicing,summing-ups and perceiving,students improve their ability to combine theory with practice,enhance capabilities of communication,enrich their social experience and increase their talent of independent working.Meanwhile,further trainings may endow our medical students with better abilities of summarization.Through practice,teaching clinic has been proved to be a reasonable teaching mode which deserves promotion.
