ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic features of oncocytic carcinoma of the thy-roid(OCA).Methods The clinicopathological and immuno-histochemical data of 25 patients with oncocytic carcinoma of the thyroid were retrospectively reviewed.Genetic features were determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results The male to female ratio of the 25 patients was 1 ∶ 1.8,and the aver-age age was 49 years.The tumor was confined to the thyroid gland.Of the 22 cases with a single nodule,5 cases were ill-de-marcated and 3 cases were multiple nodular lesions.The average size was 2.7 centimeter in diameter.Cytologically,the tumor cells were arranged in detached clusters with abundant eosino-philic and granular cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli.Histologically,the oncocytic tumor cells mainly arranged in trabecular and solid architecture.Capsular,blood and lymphoid vascular invasion could be observed in a cer-tain extent.Among 25 cases of OCA,8 cases were minimally in-vasive,14 cases were encapsulated angio-invasive and 3 cases were widely invasive.Positive immunoreaction with TTF-1,thy-roglobulin and CD56 supported the thyroid epithelial origination of the tumour.One recurrent case was found to have cervical lymph node metastasis,and another case was presented with bone metastasis,which was determined to harbor TERT promoter mu-tation(C228T)in each case.Different point mutation of RAS gene was determined in 2 cases(8%),respectively.Conclu-sion Oncocytic carcinoma of the thyroid shows typical eosino-philic and granular cytoplasm,immunohistochemical staining is helpful in differential diagnosis with other oncocytic lesions.It lacks BRAF-like mutation.Low frequency of RAS mutations could be found.Rare TERT promoter mutation has significant mutation with clinical behavior of OCA.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic histoacryl injection in cirrhotic patients with newly-developed esophagogastric varices (EGV) who have previously undergone splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization.Methods:From January 2015 to January 2020, 125 cirrhotic patients with EGV treated with endoscopic histoacryl injection at the Department of Gastroenterology, Jinling Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University, were included in the retrospective analysis. There were 45 patients in the group of splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization (splenectomy group for short) and 80 patients in the non-splenectomy group. The efficacy of endoscopic treatment, postoperative variceal improvement, rebleeding rate, and complications were analyzed between the two groups.Results:Endoscopic histoacryl injection was successfully completed in all 125 patients, and the median volume of histoacryl was 4.5 mL. The overall effective rate in splenectomy and non-splenectomy group was 80.0% (36/45) and 57.5% (46/80), respectively. The difference in the number of significantly effective, effective, and ineffective cases between the two groups was statistically significant (16, 20, 9 cases, and 20, 26, 34 cases, respectively, χ 2=6.469, P=0.039). Two and 14 patients developed rebleeding in the splenectomy group and non-splenectomy group, respectively; and the difference in the rebleeding rate between the two groups was statistically significant (4.4% VS 17.5%, Log-rank P=0.039). No patient died within 1 year in either group, and no serious complications such as ectopic embolism occurred. Conclusion:After splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization in cirrhotic patients with EGV and hypersplenism, the application of histoacryl has better short-term efficacy and can significantly reduce the rebleeding rate compared with the non-splenectomy group.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical features and clinical significance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complicated by thrombosis.Methods From March 14th,2001 to February sixth 2017,at Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command,27 IBD patients with thrombosis diagnosed by clinical symptoms,endoscopy,imaging and pathology were enrolled.During the same period,81 gender and age matched IBD patients without thrombosis were included in the control group.The basic data,information of IBD diagnosis and treatment and thrombotic events of patients were collected and analyzed.T-test and Chi-square test were performed for statistical analysis.Binary logistics regression was used for risk factors analysis.Results The mean age of diagnosis of IBD patients with thrombosis was (44.8 ± 15.8) years,which was higher than that of the IBD patients of control group ((36.0 ± 14.4) years),and the difference was statistically significant (t =2.69,P =0.008).Among 27 IBD patients with thrombosis,arterial thrombosis was 51.9% (14/27),deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity veins was 29.6% (8/27),portal venous system involved was 11.1% (3/27),pulmonary embolism was 3.7% (1/27) and disseminated intravascular coagulation accounted for 7.4% (2/27).Nine patients (33.3%,9/27) underwent surgery six months before the diagnosis of thrombosis.The results of binary logistic regression indicated that the age of diagnosis and vascular catheterization were independent risk factors for thrombosis in IBD patients (odds ratio (OR) =1.04,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01 to 1.07,P=0.01;0R=5.64,95% CI 1.39 to 22.96,P=0.02).After medicine treatment or surgery,81.5% (22/27) of the patients improved,9.1% (2/22) were worse and 13.6% (3/22) died.Conclusion Screening and prevention of thrombosis should be paid attention in IBD patients with a history of vascular catheterization,at active phase and older age when diagnosed.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate whether the suppressive effects of lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on endometriosis are mediated by the regulation of autophagic activity, and to further explore the actual molecular mechanism.@*Methods@#(1) Eutopic and ectopic endometria were obtained from 13 patients with endometriosis, and 10 eutopic endometria collected from non-endometriosis patients were used as control. The expression of the autophagy-related biochemical markers [microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and p62] were detected by western blot. Levels of LXA4 in the biopsies were measured by ELISA. (2) Primary human endometrial stromal cells (ESC) were isolated and cultured in vitro from eutopic endometria of infertility patients with endometriosis. After treatment with exogenous LXA4 or autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or autophagy inducer rapamycin, cell migration and invasion were evaluated by transwell assay, and autophagy was detected by western blot. (3) ESC were treated with LXA4, the gene expressions of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) etc. were examined by quantitative real-time PCR, and the activation of NF-κB signaling was detected by western blot. (4) ESC were incubated with 10 μmol/L NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7080, the autophagic activation was detected by western blot.@*Results@#(1) Autophagy-related marker, LC3-Ⅱ and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ ratio, showed a significant up-regulation in ectopic lesions of endometriosis compared with eutopic endometria of affected or healthy women (all P<0.05) . However, the LXA4 level significantly decreased in ectopic tissue (P<0.05) . There was a significant negative correlation between LXA4 concentration and relative expression of LC3-Ⅱ in ectopic lesions (r= -0.780, P=0.002) . (2) 10 and 100 nmol/L exogenous LXA4 could significantly down-regulate the LC3-Ⅱ protein expression and up-regulate the p62 protein expression (all P<0.05) . LXA4 markedly inhibited the invasion and migration of ESC (P<0.05) ;while the reactivation of autophagy by rapamycin almost reversed the anti-invasion and anti-migration effects of LXA4. (3) After LXA4 treatment, the expression level of NF-κB gene significantly decreased (P<0.05) . Furthermore, the results of western blot analysis showed that the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 was markedly down-regulated under LXA4 treatment (P<0.05) . (4) The NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7080 markedly suppressed the autophagic activation of LXA4 (P<0.05) .@*Conclusion@#LXA4 could inhibit the invasion and migration of ESC by down-regulating the NF-κB signaling-mediated autophagy.

ABSTRACT
AIM:To study whether inhibition of forkhead box protein M1(FoxM1) sensitizes leukemia K562 cells to homoharringtonine ( HHT ) .METHODS: K562 cells were incubated with HHT at different concentrations ( 0μmol/L, 0.015 μmol/L, 0.030μmol/L and 0.045μmol/L) for different time (0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h).The mRNA and protein levels of FoxM1 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.FoxM1 siRNA was transfected into K562 cells with 0.015μmol/L HHT after 6 h.After 72 h incubation, the cell proliferation was detected by cell counting and soft agar assay, and the proportion of apoptotic K562 cells was determined by flow cytometry.The expression of c-Myc and Sp1 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.RESULTS:FoxM1 expression was reduced time-dependently and dose-dependently, suggesting that HHT mediated the downregulation of FoxM1 in K562 cells.In K562 cells, treatment with FoxM1 siRNA and HHT inhibited the cell proliferation and promoted the apoptosis significantly.Therefore, inhibition of FoxM1 sensitized leukemia K562 cells to HHT.The expression of c-Myc and Sp1 was positively regulated by FoxM1. CONCLUSION:HHT inhibits Forkhead box protein M1 expression in K562 cells.Inhibition of FoxM1 sensitizes K562 cells to HHT.
