ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the feasibility of a modified pancreatogastric anastomosis in laparoscopic duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR).Methods:The clinical data of 25 patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors of pancreatic head undergoing LDPPHR at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males and 18 females, aged (44.9±6.2) years old. According to the methods of pancreatic digestive reconstruction, patients were divided into the observation group ( n=10), who underwent the modified pancreatogastric anastomosis, and the control group ( n=15) who underwent conventional pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. The general data, intraoperative pancreatic digestive reconstruction time, maximum levels of amylase in abdominal drainage within three days postoperatively, postoperative complications, and hospital stay were compared between the groups. Results:All procedures were performed successfully. The intraoperative pancreatic digestive reconstruction time was shorter in the observation group [(27.8±2.4) min vs. (45.8±3.6) min, P=0.010]. The intraoperative blood loss were comparable between the groups [(140.5±14.8) ml vs. (145.2±9.7) ml, P=0.843]. The maximum level of amylase in abdominal drainage within three days postoperatively was lower in the observation group [(809.1±185.5) U/L vs. (1 385.4±481.1) U/L, P=0.031]. No grade C pancreatic fistula or postoperative hemorrhage occurred in either group, and the incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula was lower in the observation group [20.0% (2/10) vs. 60.0% (9/15), P=0.048], with a shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.9±1.3) d vs. (10.3±2.7) d, P=0.017]. No decrease of life quality or reoperation due to pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage or digestive tract malfunction occurred in either group within a median follow-up of 15.6 months. Conclusion:In LDPPHR, the modified pancreatogastric anastomosis could help shorten the pancreatic digestive reconstruction and lower the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

ABSTRACT

The bile acid-responsive G-protein-coupled receptor TGR5 is expressed in monocytes and macrophages, and plays a critical role in regulating inflammatory response. Our previous work has shown its role in promoting the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet the mechanism remains unclear. Here, using Tgr5-knockout mice, we show that TGR5 is required for M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and suppresses antitumor immunity in NSCLC via involving TAMs-mediated CD8+ T cell suppression. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that TGR5 promotes TAMs into protumorigenic M2-like phenotypes via activating cAMP-STAT3/STAT6 signaling. Induction of cAMP production restores M2-like phenotypes in TGR5-deficient macrophages. In NSCLC tissues from human patients, the expression of TGR5 is associated with the infiltration of TAMs. The co-expression of TGR5 and high TAMs infiltration are associated with the prognosis and overall survival of NSCLC patients. Together, this study provides molecular mechanisms for the protumor function of TGR5 in NSCLC, highlighting its potential as a target for TAMs-centric immunotherapy in NSCLC.

Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative histopathological examination; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect the recovery of patients up to March 2021. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range) and count data were descripted as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: all the 25 patients underwent LDPPHR successfully, including 23 cases undergoing total pancreatic head resection and 2 cases undergoing subtotal pancreatic head resection. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 25 patients were 310 minutes (range, 207 to 540 minutes) and 200 mL (range, 50 to 800 mL), respectively. Of the 25 patients, 1 case was infused with 4 U of red blood cells and 400 mL of plasma, 1 case was infused with 500 mL of plasma, 1 case was infused with 600 mL of plasma and the remaining 22 cases were not infused with red blood cells or plasma. Of the 25 patients, 3 cases with pancreatic fistula of class B were discharged after drainage, 4 cases had biliary fistula including 2 cases undergoing symptoms disappeared after implantation of common bile duct stent by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, 1 case recovering well with drainage, 1 case with postoperative perihepatic effusion undergoing symptoms disappeared after the treatment of drainage and common bile duct stent implantation, and the remaining 18 cases had no complications. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was 17 days (range, 9 to 27 days) of the 25 patients. (2) Postoperative histopathological examination: the tumor volume of the 25 patients was 6.0 cm×5.0 cm×2.0 cm (range, 1.0 cm×2.0 cm×1.5 cm to 10.0 cm×9.0 cm×8.0 cm). Results of the postoperative histopathological examination showed that there were 12 cases with pancreatic solid pseudopaillary neoplasm, 4 cases with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, 3 cases with serous cystadenoma, 2 cases with mucinous cystadenoma, 1 case with neuroendocrine neoplasm, 1 case with pancreatic true cyst, 1 case with cholesterol crystals combined with calcification in the center of pancreatic nodules and 1 case with cavernous hemangioma of pancreas. (3) Follow-up: all the 25 patients were followed up for 4 months to 48 months, with a median follow-up time of 27 months. During the follow-up, 1 case of the 25 patients with postoperative diabetes controlled blood glucose in the normal range after regular injection of insulin, 1 case with fatty diarrhea had symptoms improved after oral supplement of pancreatic enzyme preparation, 1 case with preoperative intermittent dizziness, weakness of both lower limbs and hypoglycemia had the level of blood glucose returned to normal without any special treatment after operation, and the remaining 23 cases had no metabolic complications. None of the 25 patients had tumor malignant transformation, recurrence or death.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the feasibility of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy ( LPD) in the treatment of pancreatic head cancer, and to analyze the short-term postoperative outcomes. Methods The clinical data of 57 patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduode-nectomy from April 2015 to November 2017 in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retro-spectively analyzed. Results Of the 57 patients, conversion to open surgery was required in 2 patients, and major venous resection and reconstruction were performed in 9 patients, including 8 end-to-end anastomosis, and 1 synthetic graft interposition. Total pancreatectomy was carried out in 4 patients. For the remaining 53 patients, pancreaticojejunal mucosal anastomoses were carried out in 50 patients, and sleeve pancreaticojeju-nostomy in 3 patients. The mean operative time and operative blood loss were 497 (240~720) min and 435 (50~3 000 ) ml, respectively. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 17. 7 ( 6. 0 ~59. 0 ) days. Postoperative complications were detected in 26. 3% (15/57) of patients, which included delayed gastric emptying (DGE) in 4 patients, Grade B pancreatic fistula (PF) in 4 patients, biliary fistula ( BF) in 2 patients, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage ( PPH) in 2 patients, intraabdominal infection in 1 patient and pulmonary infection in 2 patients. All the patients with DGE recovered with conservative treatment and they were discharged home. Reoperation was only required in the two patients with PPH. One patient died after the operation. The postoperative pathological results revealed pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma in 53 patients, adenosscale carcinoma in 1 patient and neuroendocrine carcinoma in 3 patients. The maximum and minimum tumor sizes were 7. 0 cm×5. 0 cm×3. 5 cm and 2. 5 cm×1. 5 ×1. 0 cm, respectively. The mean lymph nodes harvest and positive lymph node retrieval were 14(1~60) and 0. 7(0~3), respectively. Negative resection margins were obtained in 84. 2% (48/57) of patients. This study was censored on December 31, 2017. The follow-up for these patients ranged between 1 to 32 months. Mortality occurred in 21 patients, including 1 patient with a ruptured aneurysm 2 months after operation, 2 patients with GI bleeding 2 and 9 months respectively after operation, 1 patient with severe pulmonary infection and 17 patients with cancer recurrence with survival varying from 2 to 21 months. 35 patients were still alive. Conclusion Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a safe and feasible procedure for pancreatic head cancer.

ABSTRACT

The facile and efficient synthetic route for Ag dendritic nanostructures on Indium tin oxide ( ITO) via electrodeposition was reported. The results showed that the Raman intensities of rhodamine 6G ( R6G) decreased with decreasing the loading concentration, and even at a low concentration of 10-10 mol/L, the signatures of R6G in Raman spectrum were still clearly observed. It indicated that the Ag dendritic nanostructures exhibited high surface-enhanced Raman scattering ( SERS) sensitivity. Moreover, the relative standard deviation ( RSD ) of band at 610 cm-1 was calculated to be 12 . 1%, 12 . 0%, 11 . 7%, 10 . 9%, 13. 2% and 14. 3%, respectively, corresponding with the concentration of R6G from 10-5 mol/L to 10-10 mol/L, which revealed that the Ag dendritic nanostructures could provide abundant hot spots and exhibited excellent reproducibility. In addition, the SERS spectrum of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3MPA) also could be detected when its concentration was 10-5 mol/L. This method offers an easy and low-cost way to prepare Ag dendritic substrates and makes SERS detection more practicable.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the effect of ginkgolide B on junctional proteins in ox-LDL-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) . Methods After incubation with ginkgolide B ( 0 . 2 ,0 . 4 ,0 . 6 g · L-1 ) for 1 h, HUVECs were treated with ox-LDL (0. 1 g·L-1 ) for 4 h. The expressions of JAM-A and Cx43 were analyzed with Western blot and immunofluo-rescence. The effect of ginkgolide B on vascular per-meability was analyzed by Transwell experiments. Re-sults JAM-A and Cx43 expressions increased by 22%and 24% in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs, respectively. Whereas ginkgolide B significantly decreased JAM-A and Cx43 expressions. LY294002, a specific inhibitor of PI3K, suppressed JAM-A and Cx43 expressions in ox-LDL-stimulated cells. Ginkgolide B potently re-duced monocyte migration in ox-LDL-treated cells. Conclusion Ginkgolide B significantly suppresses JAM-A and Cx43 expressions, and reduces monocyte migration in ox-LDL-stimulated cells. This demon-strates that ginkgolide B can improve vascular permea-bility. The mechanism might be associated with the in-hibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms of protective effects of thioredoxin (Trx) on human vascular endothelial cells in atherosclerosis.Methods The cell models of Trx-overexpressing cells (Ad Trx) and the control cells (Ad-con) were established by adenovirus vector gene transfer technology in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).The oxidized low density lipoprotein,a risk factor of atherosclerosis,was used as a stimulator.Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the protein expression levels and the cellular localization of Trx,adhesion molecules (ICAM-1,VCAM-1) and the upstream signal pathways.Trx activity was detected by insulin disulfide reduction assay,and cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)production was detected by fluorescent probe DCFH-DA.Results As compared with control group,Trx protein expression level was enhanced in Ad-trx group and the Trx activity in Ad-Trx group was upregulated by (26.2 ±3.3)%.The result of ROS detection showed that overexpression of Trx significantly inhibited the cellular ROS generation.As compared with control group,overexpression of Trx obviously inhibited the adhesion molecules expression but markedly promoted the phosphorylation of Smad3 in endothelial cells with or without oxLDL stimulation (P<0.05).Pretreatment of cells with SIS3,a specific inhibitor of Smad3 phosphorylation,reversed Trx-induced inhibition of adhesion molecules expression.Further studies showed that pretreatment of cells with SIS3 enhanced oxLDL-induced AP-1 subunit c-fos nuclear expression.Conclusions The enhancement of Smad3 phosphorylation and c-Fos nuclear expression are mainly responsible for the Trx-induced downregulation of adhesion molecules.

ABSTRACT

To understand the function of Mayven and investigate the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, the gene sequences of different truncated Mayven were amplified from the gene library of human brain. These truncated fragments, including fragment P1 (1-902 bp), fragment P2 (1-523 bp), fragment P3 (507-182 bp) and fragment P4 (887-1782 bp), were cloned into pGEX-4T-2 vector to construct recombinant plasmids. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) and induced to express by IPTG. The expressed proteins were detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and were purified by GST purifying system. The results showed that recombinant express vectors of different truncated GST-Mayven were successfully constructed and were expressed in soluble form protein induced by IPTG. The fusion proteins have good reactivity to GST antibody. The construction of recombinant express vectors of different truncated GST-Mayven lays a basis for further function study on Mayven.

Objective:To investigate whether the increased plasma fibrinogen level is an independent predictor of cardiogenic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Methods:Ninety-eight patients with NVAF hospitalized for cardiac causes were evaluated,and 24 of them had a history of ischemic stroke.The relationship between fasting plasma fibrinogen level and ischemic stroke were analyzed.Results:After adjusting traditional cardiovascular risk factors.the patients with NVAF who had the history of ischemic stroke were significantly older than those without(mean [SD] age 73.6 [8.4]vs.69.1[10.3] years,P=0.017).1he prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher(83.3%va.66.2%,P=0.011).The proportion of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction was significantly higher(63.1% vs.45.9%,P=0.006),and plasma fibrinogen level increased significantly (mean [SD] 365 [108]vs.312[82] mg/dL,P=0.008).Conclusions:Plasma fibrinogen level is independently associated with a history of ischemic stroke in older patients with NVAF hospitalized for cardiac causes.
