A new variant of Choledochal cyst-type VI: a rare case presentation and review of the literature.

A 53-year-old male patient with a previous diagnosis of dilatation of the common bile duct was admitted to the hospital due to recurrent episodes of vague epigastric pain over a 4-month period. After undergoing abdominal CT, MRI, MRCP, ERCP examinations, together with joint diagnosis by the radiology department and the gastroscopy unit, the diagnosis of a cystic dilatation of the common bile duct was excluded, and to preliminarily diagnose as cystic lesion at the hepatoduodenum ligament. A nasobiliary tube was preset before the surgery, and it was found that the gallbladder, the cyst, and the common bile duct were connected in sequence during the surgery, leading to the definitive diagnosis of biliary cyst of the cystic duct.

Rocket-Shaped Telluroniobate with Efficient Catalytic Activity in the Transesterification Reaction.

A novel telluroniobate, KNaH{[Co(en)(SO)][TeNbO]}·42HO (en = ethylenediamine), has been synthesized through a diffusion strategy. It consists of a heteropolyoxoniobate [B-β-TeNbO] cluster and isopolyoxoniobate {NbO} building blocks. In addition, its structure was fully characterized by a series of spectroscopic methods.

The combination of living Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus improves social ranking and relieves anxiety-like behaviors in competitive mice in a social dominance tube test.

Introduction: Social rank has a profound influence on the behavior and health of humans and animals.

Methods: To explore the effect of a combination of living Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Streptococcus (CLB) on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors and social rank, mice were subjected to a social dominance tube test (SDTT). The behaviors, rank, gut microbiota, and expression of inflammatory cytokines and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus were measured.

Depressive Symptoms, Sleep Quality and Diet During the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Epidemic in China: A Survey of Medical Students.

The psychological condition of medical students may be influenced by the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This study investigated the prevalence and influencing factors of depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality and poor diet in students at Kunming Medical University during the early part of the COVID-19 outbreak. A cross-sectional study was used from a questionnaire survey in February 2020.

Ginsenoside Rb1 exerts antidepressant-like effects via suppression inflammation and activation of AKT pathway.

Depression-like behaviors caused by chronic stress are related to inflammation and microglia activation. Antidepressant therapy may contribute to inhibiting inflammation responses and microglia activation. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) is known to display antidepressant-like effect on chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depressive rats.
