The study presented in detail the localization and density of mast cells (MCs) in the intramural part of the common bile duct (CBD) and in the major duodenal papilla (MDP) of domestic swine. MCs' density (number/mm(2) ) in different layers of both of the duct and papilla was evaluated after toluidine blue staining. Their number was higher in the lamina propria mucosae than in the tunica muscularis of the studied structures. The localization of berberine-positive, (heparin containing) MCs and the ratio between them and toluidine blue-positive MCs with γ-ma metachromasia was also established. Ratios of heparin-containing MCs in comparison with all toluidine blue-positive MCs were found as follows: ductus choledochus - 32% in the subglandular connective tissue of lamina propria mucosae in the intramural part of the duct; m. sphincter ductus choledochus - 31% in the circular and 0.06% in the longitudinal muscle layer; subserosa - 59%; papilla duodeni major - 0.03% in the subepithelial connective tissue and 34% in the subglandular connective tissue of lamina propria mucosae, respectively. The established large difference in heparin-positive MCs in both the subepithelial and subglandular connective tissues of CBD and MDP, respectively, is an evidence for the existence of mucosal and connective tissue MCs.

Cellular senescence is understood to be a biological process that is defined as irreversible growth arrest and was originally recognized as a tumor-suppressive mechanism that prevents further propagation of damaged cells. More recently, cellular senescence has been shown to have a dual role in prevention and tumor promotion. Senescent cells carry a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which is altered by secretory factors including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other proteases, leading to the alteration of the tissue microenvironment.

Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD), a rare craniotubular disorder, occurs in an autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR) form. CMD is characterized by hyperostosis of craniofacial bones and metaphyseal flaring of long bones. Many patients with CMD suffer from neurological symptoms.

Objective: To investigate the effectivess of arthroscopic Wafer surgery combined with triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) insertion point reconstruction in the treatment of Palmer type ⅡC combined with typeⅠB ulnar impingement syndrome.
Methods: The clinical data of 14 patients with Parlmer type ⅡC combined with type ⅠB ulnar impingement syndrome who met the selection criteria between July 2021 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 7 females with an average age of 43 years ranging from 16 to 59 years.

Objective: To measure and analyze the relationships among the posterior tibial slope (PTS), meniscal slope (MS), and meniscus posterior horn thickness (MPHT) of the medial and lateral tibial plateau in healthy people and patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) in Heilongjiang province, so as to provide reference basis for appropriate tibial osteotomy and prosthesis placement angles in knee joint surgeries.
Methods: A retrospective collection of imaging data from knee joint MRI examinations conducted prior to AMOA for various reasons was performed. A total of 103 healthy individuals (healthy group) and 30 AMOA patients (AMOA group) were included.
