Advances on the mechanisms regulating the formation of the biofilm of Listeria monocytogenes / 生物工程学报

Listeria monocytogenes is an important food-borne pathogen. The distribution and survival of L. monocytogenes are related to its ability to form biofilms. Biofilms are resistant to adverse environments, and bacteria separated from the biofilms may lead to persistent food contaminations. The formation, maturation and structure of biofilms depend on a variety of external and internal factors, among which a variety of regulatory mechanisms play important roles. This review summarizes the regulatory mechanisms (including intracellular, intercellular and interspecific interactions) involved in the biofilm formation of L. monocytogenes in order to control the biofilm formation in food processing environments, thus providing new intervention strategy for food safety.

Progress of prognosis-related immune factors in esophageal neoplasms / 肿瘤研究与临床

Immunotherapy has recently become a new therapeutic method. Related cells and cytokines mediating tumor immunity play different roles in the process of tumor immunity, and they are correlated with tumor prognosis, which has a reference significance in the evaluation of tumor prognosis. In China, esophageal carcinoma is one of the common tumors of digestive system, and its 5-year overall survival rate is low. With the wide use of immunotherapy and introduction of precision medicine, the study on the relationship between tumor immune-related cells, cytokines and the prognosis of esophageal carcinoma can provide the guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal carcinoma.

Prognostic factors of small non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors / 中华消化杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of small (maximum diameter≤ 2.0 cm) non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNET).Methods From January 2002 to April 2017,the clinical data of 18 patients with small NF-PNET were retrospectively analyzed.The prognosis and clinical pathological features were investigated.According to the prognosis,the patients were divided into death group (four cases) and disease-free survival group (14 cases).Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney rank inspection were performed for statistical analysis.Results All 18 patients (nine males,nine females) aged 23 to 80 years old,median age 52.5 years old received radical resection.The median follow-up time was 54 months.Four patients died during the follow-up.There was no statistically significant difference in median age (61.0 years,32.0 to 80.0 years vs 49.0 years,23.0 to 72.0 years) and median tumor maximum diameters (1.9 cm,0.8 to 2.0 cm vs 1.5 cm,0.8 to 2.0 cm) between the death group and disease-free survival group (Z=-1.223 and-0.752,P=0.233 and 0.505).Compared with that of disease-free survival group,tumor differentiation degree of the death group was lower (poor/high differentiation,2/2 vs 0/14),and the difference was statistically significant (Fisher's exact test,P=0.039).However,there was no significant difference in histological grades (G1/G2/G3,1/1/2 vs 9/5/0;Fisher's exact test,P=0.057).The distribution of tumor in death group and disease-free survival group was similar.The proportion of patients with tumor at pancreatic head was 2/4 and 6/14 of the death group and disease free survival group,respectively.The surgical methods of the death group included pancreaticoduodenectomy (two cases),distal pancreatectomy (one case),and total pancreatectomy (one case),and there was no statistically significant difference in rates of surgical methods between the two groups (Fisher's exact test,P=0.260).Conclusion Age,tumor maximum diameter,degree of differentiation,histological grade and surgical methods may be correlated with poor prognosis of small NF PNET.

The diagnostic role of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide in identifying acute pulmonary thromboembolism versus congestive heart failure in dyspnea patients / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To explore the role of NT-proBNP in the differentiation of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) from congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients with acute dyspnea.Methods Consecutive 260 patients aged ≥ 60 years complaining of acute dyspnea were collected between June 2010 and October 2015.The patients were divided into two groups of APE and CHF according to their diagnosis standards.The levels of NT-proBNP between the two groups were compared using t test,and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was made to show the value of NT-proBNP in differentiation of APE from CHF.Results Patients in APE group had significantly lower median levels of NT-proBNP as compared with patients in CHF group [(2 478.8±1 473.9)ng/L vs.(5 955.4±3 180.1)ng/L,t =-12.020,P ＜ 0.01].The ROC curve of APE existence against serum levels of NT-proBNP showed an optimal cut-point of NT-proBNP of 1 518 ng/L,with specificity up to 98.8％,and the area under the ROC curve for NT-proBNP was 0.877.Conclusions NT-proBNP as a simple and bedside approach to identify APE versus CHF patients with acute dyspnea can help clinicians identify APE early and reduce the rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of APE.But the confirmative diagnosis of APE is still based on spiral CT angiography.

Objective: To compare blood levels of NT-proBNP and uric acid (UA) in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A prospective research was conducted in 288 acute dyspnea patients treated in our hospital from 2010-06 to 2015-05. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on clinical diagnosis: PTE group,n=107 and CHF group, n=181. Blood levels of NT-proBNP and UA were examined in all patients, statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 17.0 software, independent samplet test or variance analysis were used to make comparison between 2 groups. Results: There were more male patients as 64/107 (59.8%) in PTE group and 103/181 (56.9%) in CHF group. Compared with CHF group, PTE group had the lower blood levels of NT-proBNP (2421.7±1678.1) pg/ml vs (6964.3±3873.1) pg/ml and UA (340.6±121.3) μmol/L vs (492.1±166.2) μmol/L, allP<0.01. Conclusion: In our research, blood levels of NT-proBNP and UA were lower in PTE patients than CHF patients; with general background, such phenomenon might be helpful to distinguish PTE and CHF in acute dyspnea patients in clinical practice.

Short-term complications in reconstruction of the postoperative defects with free jejunum graft in patients with pharyngeal, laryngeal or cervical esophageal cancers / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinical effects and short-term complications of using free jejunum graft (FJG) to reconstruct the defects by resections of pharyngeal, laryngeal or cervical esophageal cancers.@*METHOD@#Fifty-eight cases of pharyngeal, laryngeal or cervical esophageal cancers were reconstructed with FJG. All cases were analyzed retrospectively.@*RESULT@#The success rate of FJG transplantations was 91.4% (53/58). The incidence of post-operative short-term complication was 43.1% (25/58), which was not related to age or BMI. The most common complication was anastomotic leakage (18.9%), which was not related to per-operative radiation therapy. However, BMI > 25 cases had significantly higher incidence of anastomotic leakage than BMI ≤ 25 cases (P = 0.009). The second and third most common complications were respiratory system complications (10. 3%) and FJG necrosis (8. 6%). Para-operative death rate was 3.4% (2/58). Two-year overall survival rates of hypopharyngeal cancer and cervical esophageal cancer were 49% and 67% respectively. The group with no short-term complications had a slightly better survival rate than the group with short-term complications from the Kaplan-Meier curve, but there was no significant difference (P = 0.103).@*CONCLUSION@#FJG is ideal to reconstruct cervical digestive tract circumferential defects with a high success rate and a low mortality. However, the post-operative complication rate is high. Intensive observation, early detection and timely treatment of complications are crucial.

Treatment and prognosis of the carcinoma arising from nasal and sinonasal inverted papilloma: report of 62 cases and systematic review / 中华肿瘤杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the factors affecting prognosis of the carcinoma arising from nasal and sinonasal inverted papilloma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinicopathological data of sixty-two patients treated in our hospital from January 1974 to February 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 62 cases, 10 were at stage I or II, 24 at stage III, and 28 at stage IV. Twenty-six patients were treated with surgery alone, and 36 with surgery combined with radiation therapy. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for the survival analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall 5-years survival rate was 39.6%. The 5-years survival rate was 67.5% in the stage I or II patients,51.3% in the stage III patients, and 18.3% in the stage IV patients (P<0.05). The 5-years survival rate was 65.7% in patients who had no surgical history, and 29.9% in patients who had surgery (P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate was 17.6% in the group who relapsed after the treatment, and 49.6% in the non-relapsed patients (P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate was 23.4% in the patients who had involvement of cranial base and (or) orbit, and 47.6% in the patients whose cranial base and (or) orbit were clean (P<0.05). Of the patients at the same stage (III-IV), the 5-year survival rate of patients treated with surgery alone was 32.4%, and those treated with combination therapy was 36.2%(P=0.89). The univariate analysis showed that clinical stage, surgical history before malignization, involvement of the cranial base and (or) orbit organs, and post-operative relapse are significantly correlated to prognosis of the patients (P<0.05 for all). Multivariate analysis showed that age, clinical stage, and previous history of surgery were independent factors affecting the prognosis of the patients. Distant metastasis was the major cause of death, mostly lung metastases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Age, clinical stage and surgical history are the main factors affecting the prognosis of the patients. The history of recurrence and involvement of cranial base or orbit also play an important role for the prognosis. Distant metastasis is the main cause of death in the patients with carcinoma arising from nasal and sinonasal inverted papilloma.</p>

Application of scapula osteomyocutaneous flap in the repair of maxillary defect / 中华耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Preliminary study on free scapula osteomyocutaneous flap to repair maxillary defect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Central maxillofacial soft and hard tissue defect after nasal sinus or oral tumor surgery was repaired with free scapual osteomyocutaneous flap in 4 patients to reconstruct their maxillofacial functions. The primary tumors included an ameloblastoma, a recurrent low-grade mucous epidermoid carcinoma a jaw sarcoma and a squamous cell carcinoma.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the 4 cases had good wound healing within 2 weeks after surgery, with no complications, could take in semifluid food after 3 weeks, and had clear language communication after 1 month. Three cases wore denture after 2 months and recovered maxillofacial contour and partial chewing function, and had no tumor recurrences with the follow-up of 37, 25 and 10 months respectively. One case of maxilla sarcomas had recurrence with invasion of parapharyngeal space and skull base and pulmonary metastasis 9 months after surgery, who gave up further treatment and died 1 year later. No obvious dysfunction occurred in shoulder and back donation sites and well blood supply in transplanted bones were showed with CT and bone scan.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Scapula osteomyocutaneous flap has some advantages including reliable blood supply, hidden incision and little affect on the donation site, and it can apply with multiple tissues including bone, muscle, and skin for repair. This flap also has good shape adaptability and availability. So scapula osteomyocutaneous flap is a satisfactory method for the repair of facial maxillary complex defects. But some limitations exist in the flap, by which less amount of bone can be applied and more operation time is required due to the changes of patient's body position during surgery.</p>

Analysis of the effectiveness of radiotherapy in postoperative residual tumors in patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma / 中华肿瘤杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The aim of this study was to assess the impact of radiotherapy on patients with postoperative residual or recurrent papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 34 patients with PTC, who underwent surgery and radiotherapy in other hospitals, and treated at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at Cancer Institute & Hospital CAMS from January 2011 to January 2014. Among the 34 cases, 22 were in stage I, 5 in stage II and 7 in stage IVa. The 34 patients received 1.5 times of surgery before radiotherapy in average. All the cases received radiotherapy (mean, 56 Gy; range, 50-70 Gy). The patients were re-operated in our hospital, and the specimens were examined by pathology. The pre- and post-radiotherapy images (CT and B-ultrasound) were compared, and the changes of tumor volume were examined. The objective effect of treatment on the tumor residual focus was evaluated using RECIST, and analyzed by t-test (SPSS 17.0).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the re-resected lesions after radiotherapy were proved by pathology to be papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) or metastatic PTC in cervical lymph nodes. Among the 34 patients, 22 cases showed mild or moderate cell degeneration and the other 12 cases showed no obvious degeneration. The largest tumor diameter was 27.18 mm before radiotherapy and 27.76 mm after radiotherapy, with a non-significant difference between them (t=-1.618, P>0.05). Among the 34 patients, only 3 patients received reoperation, all other 31 cases had complete resection, and no severe complications were observed except recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in one case.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Radiotherapy has few therapeutic benefit to PTC patients after surgery with residual tumor or local recurrence. It should be used in the PTC patients, in which the tumor invasion involves important organ tissues and is difficult for a single operation to achieve safe resection margin, or in patients who can't bear a surgery because of severe coronary heart disease or others.</p>

Results the cure rate and the effective rate of 32P in the treatment of skin hemangioma were 78.88% and 94.14% respectively.The treatment effect was the best in hemangioma simplex among different kinds of skin hemangioma. The treatment effect had a negative correlation with the age of the patients. Selective nursing reduced incidence of complication. Conclusions There's a satisfactory effect of 32p application and interventional therapy in the treatment of skin hemangioma. Meanwhile, nursing plays an important role in the treatment.

Effect of NF-κB signaling pathway on the formation of multidrug resistance in K562/A02 cells / 白血病·淋巴瘤

Objective To explore the different expression of NF-κB in both K562 and its multidrug resistant cell line K562/A02 and discuss the mechanism of muhidrug resistance(MDR). Methods To detect the growing feature of the cells. Flow cytometry was used to analys the difference between the distribution profile of K562/S and K562/A02 cell. MTT colorimetry was used to determine the cytotoxic effect of adramycin, and expression of mdrl gene was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase poly-merase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in K562 and K562/A02 cells. FACS was used to determine the expression and function of glycoprotein (P-gp) on the cell membrane. Western blotting was used to determine the NF-κB p65protein in nueleus. Results There was a difference between K562 and K562/A02 cells growed in a halfadherent way rather than suspending ones, there were increases in the percentage number of cells at G0/G1 and S phases(P ＜0.05). This was mirrored by a decreasing number of cells within the G2/M phase(P＜0.05). Butthere was no difference in apoptosis rate(P ＞0.05). mdr1 mRNA was detected in K562/A02 cells, in which the expression P-gp was much higher [(94.17±0.89)%:(1.41 ±O.491)%]. NF-κB p65 protein in nucleus was overexpressed in K562/A02 cells. Conclusion The activation of NF-κB signaling pathway may attribute to the formation of MDR in K562/A02 cells.
