RESUMEN
Objective:To establish a model of improving diagnostic capability in infiltration depth of colorectal cancer (CRC) with combining narrow band imaging system(NBI) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).Methods:CRC patients who were treated in Chongqing Fifth People′s Hospital from April 2015 to March 2021 were selected retrospectively as the research objects. All patients were diagnosed by postoperative pathological diagnosis. In the end, a total of 288 CRC patients were included. Using the random number table method, the study subjects were divided into modeling group ( n=192) and verification group ( n=96) at a ratio of 2∶1. The patients′ general information, NBI and EUS examination results were collected; logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CRC submucosal infiltration, and a model was built to predict the depth of CRC infiltration; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to identify the diagnostic ability of model. The diagnostic efficacy of CRC submucosal infiltration was verified internally by the verification group. Results:In the modeling group, lymph node metastasis ( OR=6.492, 95% CI: 5.128-7.855, P<0.001), low tumor differentiation ( OR=2.736, 95% CI: 1.731-3.741, P<0.001) and tumor length ( OR=2.049, 95% CI: 1.524-2.574, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for submucosal infiltration in CRC patients; The nomograph model constructed according to the above independent risk factors had a strong diagnostic ability for the depth of submucosal infiltration of CRC, and was internally validated in the validation group. AUC values of the modeling group and the validation group were 0.945 (0.935-0.955) and 0.951 (0.942-0.961), respectively. Conclusions:The nomogram model established by the combination of endoscopic narrow band imaging technology and ultrasound endoscopy can diagnose the depth of CRC infiltration better.
RESUMEN
Aim To determine whether AngⅡin para-ventricular nucleus (PVN)was involved in the chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH ) induced-hypertension in rats.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were ran-domly divided into Sham and CIH groups,the Sham rats were exposed to continuous normoxia,while the CIH rats were submitted to CIH (8 h per day for 15 days).The conscious noninvasive method with tail cuff was performed in rats to record the systolic blood pres-sure during establishing the model of CIH induced hy-pertension.Mean arterial pressure (MAP)and heart rate (HR)were recorded in vivo on a PowerLab data acquisition system after CIH.Rats were fixed on the stereotaxic instrument to conduct microinjection in the PVN.We used Western blot to measure Ang Ⅱ level and AngⅡtype 1 receptor (AT1 R)protein expression in PVN.Results The level of PVN Ang Ⅱin CIH rats was significantly higher than that in Sham rats,a-long with increased AT1 R protein expression.Microin-jection of Ang Ⅱ(0.03,0.3,3 nmol)in bilateral PVN dose-dependently increased MAP in both CIH and Sham rats,and this response was significantly augmen-ted in CIH rats.Losartan (50 nmol),AT1 R antago-nist,had no effect on MAP in Sham rats,but caused significant MAP decreases in CIH rats,and prevented Ang Ⅱ-induced increases in MAP in both CIH and Sham rats.Conclusion The results suggest that the increased AngⅡrelease and enhanced AT1 R activation in the PVN contribute to CIH induced-hypertension in rats.
