Objective:To investigate the effect of Hong's One Stitch Method in pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Methods:A total of 40 patients who underwent PD in our hospital from Jan 2021 to Dec 2022 were divided into two groups according to random number table method,with 20 patients in each group.The control group was treated with end to end pancreatojejunal anastomosis,and the observation group was treated with"Hong's One Stitch Method".The perioperative indicators,complications,secondary surgery,mortality and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:The pancreatoenteroanastomosis time,operation time and hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the incidence of pancreatic fistula was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss,pancreatic biochemical leakage,bile fistula,hemorrhage,localized abdominal infection,gastric emptying obstruction,pulmonary infection,secondary surgery and mortality between the two groups(P＞0.05).The mental health score,emotional function score,social function score,energy score,general health status score,body pain score,and physiological function score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:In PD surgery,the application of"Hong's One Stitch Method"to perform pancreatoenterostomy is beneficial to shorten the pancreatoenterostomy time,operation time and hospitalization time,accelerate the postoperative recovery,reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula,and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Echinococcus infections in small rodents around human residential areas in Yushu City, Qinghai Province in 2023, so as to provide insights into precision echinococcosis control. Methods One or two quadrats, each measuring 50 m × 50 m, were randomly assigned in Shanglaxiu Township and Longbao Township, Yushu City, Qinghai Province on June 2023, respectively, and 300 plate-type mouse traps, each measuring 12.0 cm × 6.5 cm, were assigned in each quadrat. Small rodents were captured during the period between 10 : 00 and 18 : 00 each day for 4 days. Then, all captured small rodents were identified and dissected, and liver specimens with suspected Echinococcus infections were subjected to pathological examinations. The Echinococcus cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) gene was amplified using PCR assay, and the sequence of the amplified product was aligned to that was recorded in the GenBank to characterize the parasite species. In addition, a phylogenetic tree of Echinococcus was generated based on the cox1 gene sequence using the neighbor-joining method. Results A total of 236 small rodents were captured in Shanglaxiu and Longbao townships, Yushu City, including 65 Qinghai voles and 51 plateau pikas in Shanglaxiu Township, and 62 Qinghai voles and 58 plateau pikas in Longbao Township, and there was no significant difference in the constituent ratio of small rodents between the two townships (χ² = 0.294, P > 0.05). Seven plateau pikas and 12 Qinghai voles were suspected to be infected with Echinococcus by dissection, and pathological examinations showed unclear structure of hepatic lobules and disordered hepatocyte arrangement in livers of small rodents suspected of Echinococcus infections. PCR assay identified E. shiquicus DNA in 7 Qinghai voles, which were all captured from Shanglaxiu Township. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the cox1 gene sequence of Echinococcus in small rodents was highly homologous to the E. shiquicus cox1 gene sequence reported previously. Conclusion Plateau pika and Qinghai vole were predominant small rodents around human residential areas in Yushu City, Qinghai Province in 2023, and E. shiquicus infection was detected in Qinghai voles.

Pathological scars are the result of excessive wound healing, which can severely impact patients’ quality of life and physical and mental health, which is one of the common intractable diseases in dermatology and orthopedics. Currently there is no specific therapy method avaiable. However, in recent years, the promising efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating pathological scars has garnered attention. Through reviewing and analyzing relevant literatures over the past decade, this article reviewed the roles and possible mechanisms of various active components of TCM for pathological scar, in order to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of related diseases.

Objective To explore the correlation between polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and periodontitis in light of cytokines levels,sex hormone levels and metabolism-related indicators and their changes during progression of the two diseases.Methods Twenty healthy subjects and 40 patients diagnosed with PCOS underwent full-mouth periodontal examinations to obtain full-mouth plaque score(FMPS),gingival bleeding index of probing(BOP),probing depth(PD),and clinical attachment level(CAL).The participants were divided into Group A without periodontitis or PCOS(n=15),Group B with PCOS but without periodontitis(n=28),Group C with periodontitis but without PCOS(n=5),and Group D with both diseases(n=12).Serum levels of luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone(LH/FSH),testosterone,prolactin,progesterone and estradiol,and the levels of interleukin 6(IL-6),IL-17A,tumor necrosis factor α and matrix metalloproteinase 8(MMP-8)in both serum and saliva samples were measured at the time of enrolment and at 3 and 6 months after enrolment and compared among the 4 groups.Results Serum MMP-8 level was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A(P<0.05).Salivary MMP-8 level was significantly higher in Group D than in Group B(P<0.05).Salivary MMP-8,LH,and LH/FSH levels and serum and salivary IL-6 and progesterone levels all tended to increase in the 6 months after enrollment(OR>1,P<0.05).During the follow-up period,serum IL-6 levels differed significantly between the non-PCOS groups(A and C)and PCOS groups(B and D)(P<0.05);serum IL-6 and salivary MMP-8 levels differed significantly between the non-periodontitis groups(A and B)and periodontitis groups(C and D)(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis indicated positive correlations of LH and LH/FSH with PD(P<0.05);testosterone and LH/FSH were positively correlated with serum MMP-8 levels(P<0.05),and PD,BOP and FMPS were positively correlated with salivary MMP-8 levels(P<0.01).Conclusion There is a correlation between PCOS and periodontitis,and their progression is accompanied by changes in serum and salivary levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and serum sex hormones.

Objective : To investigate the effect of Rotundic acid (RA) on proliferation，migration and invasion a- bility of human lung adenocarcinoma cells as well as its possible mechanisms． Methods : Human lung adenocarci- noma A549 and PC9 cells were divided into control group，blank control group，solvent group and 20，40，60，80 μmol / L RA groups．CCK-8 assay and scratch assay were used to detect the proliferation and horizontal migration of human lung adenocarcinoma cells．Transwell migration assay and Transwell invasion assay were used to detect the longitudinal migration and invasion ability of A549 and PC9 cells in each group．The protein expression levels of ja- nus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 ( STAT3) in the supernatants of A549 and PC9 cells were detected by ELISA．The mRNA expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 were detected by RT- PCR. Statistical analysis was made on the differences among groups in each index. Results : After RA treatment on human lung adenocarcinoma cells ，compared with the control group ，the proliferation activity of A549 and PC9 cells in the experimental groups decreased (P＜0. 05) ，the number of cells crossing polycarbonate membrane and matrix glue decreased (P＜0. 05) ，the expression of JAK2 and STAT3 proteins in cell supernatant decreased (P < 0. 05) ，and the mRNA expression of JAK2 and STAT3 decreased (P＜0. 05) ．The decrease of the above indices was concentration-dependent and had statistical significance (P＜0. 05) ．Compared with the control group，the pro- liferation activity of A549 and PC9 cells in the solvent group showed no significant difference． Conclusion RA may inhibit the proliferation，migration and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 and PC9 cells in vitro， possibly through the inhibition of JAK2 / STAT3 pathway.

Objective: To explore the high expression level of serum heat shock protein 90α(HSP90α) and gene HSP90 AA1 in cancer tissue, and to discover the prognosis of lung cancer. Methods: A total of 109 cases of lung cancer were collected as the experimental group; 38 lung inflammation groups as the reference group; and 30 healthy controls. The serum HSP90α levels between the three groups were compared; the correlation between HSP90α and clinical parameters were analyzed. The TCGA data were used to analyze the correlation between the expression level of HSP90 AA1 and various pathological features, as well as its influence on the prognosis of lung cancers. Results: The serum HSP90α concentrations in the experimental group were higher than those of the reference group and the control group(P<0.05). The ROC curve area of HSP90α in the diagnosis of lung cancer was 0.898(P<0.05); the expression of HSP90α in the lung squamous cell carcinoma group(LUSC) and the small cell lung cancer group(SCLC) were higher than those in lung adenocarcinoma group(LUAD)(P<0.05); the level of HSP90α decreased when condition alleviated, while increased significantly when disease progressed(P<0.05); Further TCGA database showed that the expression of HSP90 AA1 in cancer tissues was higher than that of adjacent cancer tissues(P<0.05),meanwhile, remarkably increased in LUSC compared with in LUAD(P<0.05). The expression of HSP90 AA1 has no significant correlation with the age, gender, clinical stage, and tumor residue of lung cancer patients. Survival analysis and Cox regression analysis showed that high expression of HSP90 AA1 reduced the overall survival(OS) of lung cancer patients; HSP90 AA1 was an independent prognostic factor for lung cancer patients. Conclusion Serum HSP90α and HSPAA1 in cancer tissues are elevated in patients with lung cancer, which should be used as an auxiliary diagnosis method for lung cancer. Meanwhile they should be used for therapeutic effect observation and survival status prediction.
