ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate and compare the influence of systemic inflammation score(SIS) and modified glasgow prognostic score(mGPS) on patients undergoing radical surgery for gallbladder cancer.Methods:A cohort study was used to collect the clinical data of total 50 patients with gallbladder cancer who underwent radical surgery in Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from March 2010 to March 2020. Survival analysis was utilized to assess the impact of SIS and mGPS for prognosis.The predictive accuracy of each score was compared by means of subgroup analysis and time dependent receiver operating characteristics analysis.Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), and t test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as cases and percentages (%), and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The 1-, 2-and 3-year survival rate of 50 gallbladder cancer patients undergoing radical surgery were 76%, 55%, 37.6%. Cox multivariate analysis showed SIS score ( HR=2.072, P=0.014) was independent prognostic risk factor; Time dependent ROC curve analysis found that the area under the SIS curve was significantly greater than the mGPS at postoperative 1 year (0.748 vs 0.603, P=0.024); Subgroup analysis found in advanced patients, SIS score was statistically significant compared with mGPS ( P=0.03). Conclusions:SIS is superior to mGPS for predicting OS in patients with gallbladder cancer who underwent radical surgery, and SIS is an independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with gallbladder cancer.
ABSTRACT
Wilms＇tumor is a common malignant tumor in children. most patients have a good prognosis,but its pathogenesis is not yet clear. In recent years,some non_coding RNAs have been found to have a close relationship with the development of this tumor. Some non_coding RNAs may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis,predictors indica_tors,or targets for gene therapy. This paper studied the relationship between some non_coding RNAs associated with nephroblastoma is now available.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Repair of extrahepatic biliary tract injury is a difficult problem in the abdominal surgery. Tissue-engineered extrahepatic biliary tract is an ideal selection for this problem. Construction of tissue-engineered extrahepatic biliary tract with excelent performance is a key to related studies. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility of bile duct endothelial cels differentiated by porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels with electrospun nanofibers. METHODS:Porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were induced toward biliary tract endothelial cels, which were then identified by morphology and RT-PCR. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanofiber membranes were prepared by electrospinning. The morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy and the short-term (2-week)in vitro degradation rate was determined. Adhesion and proliferation of biliary tract endothelial cels on the nanofiber surface was analyzed by calculating the cel adhesion rate and MTT assay, respectively. Cel growth, morphology and distribution on the material surface were observed by fluorescence staining and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 4 weeks of directed differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem celsin vitro, cels showed typical morphology of dendritic bile duct endothelial cels and had the expression of CK19. Scanning electron micrographs showed that electrospun materials were continuous nanofibers with diameters between 200 and 500 nm. No significant degradation of the PLGA nanofibers was observed within 2 weeks. Based on the measured cel adhesion rate, MTT assay, fluorescence staining, and scanning electron microscopy, the differentiated cels possessed a good proliferative capacity on PLGA nanofibers. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels differentiated into bile duct endothelial cels in vitro. Materials prepared by the electrospinning method had a nanofiber structure, which did not significantly degrade within 2 weeks. Differentiated cels exhibit good biocompatibility with the nanofibers.
ABSTRACT
The tumor microenvironment is a special environment including tumor cells,stromal cells and extracellular matrix.The notion that the tumor microenvironment is a necessary functional unit to support cancer progression,metastasis and recurrence has been accepted by more and more scholars.Studies have shown that exosomes may play a pivotal role in tumor progression that involved in cell-cell communication in the tumor microenvironment.Here,we summarize the recent publications on the characteristics of exosomes,its biological effects and the potential roles as an important part of the tumor microenvironment during tumor progression.
ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Endoscopic treatment is a promising therapeutic option for superifcial lesions throughout the gastrointestinal tract, this study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic resection (ER) using the new Duette multiband mucosectomy kit (DT-6) on treating esophageal disease. Methods:Since Jun. 2011, ER using DT-6 has been performed on 100 patients in a tertiary medical center. Data from those who have been followed up for over 6 months was analyzed. ER and esophagectomy were compared on treating high grade dysplasia (HGD) lesions and early esophageal cancer. Results:From Jun. 2011 to Jan. 2012, a total of 32 patients with esophageal lesions underwent 34 ER using DT-6 (22 male and 10 female, mean age 59.0 years, range 25 to 83 years). There were (3.4±1.0) specimen resected per operation, and the average greatest diameter was (11.8±2.7)mm. Intraoperative blood loss was (5.45±1.47)mL. The median follow-up period was 8.2 months with a 100%half-year-follow-up rate. Except one pneumothorax occurred during one endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), no other complications happened. When Comparing ER and esophagectomy on treating HGD and early esophageal cancer, ER showed advantages in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and complications. Conclusion:ER using DT-6 is safe, simple, minimally invasive and effective for esophageal disease. Prospective study and long follow-up are needed to compare endoscopic resection and esophagectomy for HGD and early esophagus cancer.
ABSTRACT
Drug delivery system in tumor targeting research has always been a difficult problem.Apoptosis in vitro experiments and body pharmacokinetic experiments can not reflect the targeting of drug delivery system indirectly.Imaging techniques both in vivo and in vitro solve the problem,researchers can not only observe the drug delivery system in the target organ,the target tissue and target cell directly,but also analyze quantitatively and qualitatively.
ABSTRACT
With the progress of minimally invasive surgical techniques,the vast majority of general surgery can be safely carried out laparoscopically.But the development of the pancreas laparoscopic surgery is lagging behind.Initially laparoscopy was used only as a diagnostic and staging tool.Nevertheless with more and more successful launch of laparoscopic surgery.Surgeons devoted a great deal of energy to this field in order to benefit more patients.This review focused on the literature of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery in resent years,although the majority of literature suggests that the minimally invasive pancreatic surgery has advantages of rapid recovery,low complication rate compared to traditional open surgery.However,most studies are limited to a small sample and a single institution results.The promotion of this emerging technology still needs more rigorous evidence based medicine.
ABSTRACT
Tumor cell invasion and metastasis are associated with the proteolytic activity of various types of proteinases.Among them,cathepsin D,which is a lysosomal proteinase,has received more attention recently.Various studies have shown that the lysosomal aspartic protease cathepsin D is over-expressed and hyper-secreted by numerous cancer cell lines.Indeed it plays an essential role in the multiple steps of tumor progression,in stimulating cancer cell proliferation,tumor invasion and metastasis,fibroblast outgrowth and angiogenesis,as well as in inhibiting tumor apoptosis.In addition,CD is also a key mediator of induced- apoptosis.The aim of this article is to review the current knowledge on Cathepsin D action in cancer progression and metastasis,as well as its dual function in apoptosis.
ABSTRACT
Abodominal giant incisional hernia is the common complication of abdominal operations,and surgery is the only efficient treatment for it.It is important to treat the local complications,to use antibiotics and to assess the tolerance of increased intra-abdominal pressure before operation.Component separation technique is feasible to close the abdominal wall defect,which is one of the main difficuhies in giant heruia repair.After that,mesh repair with biological materials is recommended to enhance the abdominal wall.Although mesh repair techniques diversified,sandwich hernionhaphy seems superior.This paper will analyse the present treatment progress of abdominal giant incisional hernia.
