Predictive factors of upstaging to stage T3a in patients with clinical stage T1 renal cancer / 现代泌尿外科杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the predictive factors of clinical T1 (cT1) stage renal cell carcinoma (RCC) escalation to T3a (pT3a), hoping to identify high-risk patients with occult pT3a features. 【Methods】 A total of 666 patients with cT1 RCC who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy were involved and divided into upstaging group and non-upstaging group. The independent predictive factors of cT1 to pT3a stage were determined with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A model was established. The area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and calibration plot were used to assess the predictive model’s discrimination and calibration. 【Results】 The upgrading rate was 11.4% (n=76). The RENAL score, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), prognosis nutrition index (PNI) and Cystatin C (Cys C) were correlated to pT3a upgrading. Our model exhibited good discrimination (AUC=0.726, 95%CI:0.662-0.791) and decent calibration. In the internal validation, the high C-index value of 0.717 was still attainable. 【Conclusions】 RENAL score, NLR, PNI, and Cys C can be used to predict the risk of postoperative pT3a stage escalation in patients with cT1 stage renal cancer. Urologists can complete risk stratification and treatment based on these indicators.

A multi-parameter resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study of brain intrinsic activity in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder children / 生物医学工程学杂志

A great number of studies have demonstrated functional abnormalities in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although conflicting results have also been reported. And few studies analyzed homotopic functional connectivity between hemispheres. In this study, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were recorded from 45 medication-naïve ADHD children and 26 healthy controls. The regional homogeneity (ReHo), degree centrality (DC) and voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) values were compared between the two groups to depict the intrinsic brain activities. We found that ADHD children exhibited significantly lower ReHo and DC values in the right middle frontal gyrus and the two values correlated with each other; moreover, lower VMHC values were found in the bilateral occipital lobes of ADHD children, which was negatively related with anxiety scores of Conners' Parent Rating Scale (CPRS-R) and positively related with completed categories of Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).

Western blot results showed that compared with the blank control group, protein expressions of p27 and p57 of MGC-803 cells in medicinal serum all dose group increased significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion Medicinal serum of Shenqi Yiliu Formula can inhibit MGC-803 cells proliferation and the mechanism may be through adjusting CDKN1B, CDKN1C mRNA and proteins expression to intervene in the cell cycle.

Mechanism of signal transduction in distant organ injuries induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion / 中华临床营养杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of different antibodies on Toll-like Receptor 4-High Mobility Group Box 1 and its downstream signal transductions in distant organ injuries caused by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in mice.Methods A total of 40 mice (C57BL/6,SPF level) were by random number table method assigned into five groups:sham,control,anti-HMGB1,anti-Myeloid differentitation gene,and antiTIR domain containing adaptor inducing IFN-β (n=8).In the control,anti-HMGB1,anti-MyD88,and antiTRIF groups,the IgG,HMGB1,MyD88,and TRIF antibodies were injected,respectively,via the tail vein 30 minutes before ischemia (1 mg/kg body weight,0.025％).After anesthesia and abdomen incision,all mice,except the sham group,underwent intestinal ischemia by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 60 minutes followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion.Sham group underwent the same surgical procedures except for clamping the artery.Serum nuclear factor-κB p65,Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α were measured.Morphological changes in the lung and intestine were evaluated.mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB1 and NF-κB in lung and intestinal tissues were assayed.Results Compared with the control group [(228.53± 24.85),(104.91±31.18),and (70.81±46.97) ng/L],HMGB1 [(145.00±33.63),(62.28±6.73),and (52.76± 5.71) ng/L],MyD88 [(191.12± 13.22),(85.90± 17.37),and (63.19 ± 5.47) ng/L],and TRIF [(183.73±10.81),(78.14±7.38),and (59.70±4.63) ng/L] significantly decreased the serum level of NF-κB (P=0.000,0.005,0.001),IL-6 (P=0.000,0.004,0.000) and TNF-α (P=0.000,0.024,0.002) after ischemia reperfusion.Tissue injuries in the lung and intestine were also alleviated by HMGB1,MyD88,and TRIF.The anti-HMGB1,anti-MyD88,and anti-TRIF groups displayed significant elevations of HMGB1 mRNA [lung (1.89±0.18),(2.35±0.31),and (2.29±0.28),ileum (4.93±0.55),(5.96± 0.73),and (5.76±0.51)],NF-κB mRNA [lung (1.42±0.23),(1.77±0.18) and (1.70±0.13),ileum (2.23±0.55),(3.11±0.38) and (2.99±0.24)] and NF-κB protein expressions in lung and ileum tissues compared to the sham group [lung HMGB1 mRNA (1.04±0.19) (P=0.000,0.000,0.000),NF-κBmRNA (1.03±0.21) (P=0.004,0.000,0.000),ileum HMGB1 mRNA (1.14±0.54) (P=0.000,0.000,0.000),NF-κB mRNA (1.03±0.23) (P=0.000,0.000,0.000)].However,incornparison with the control group [lung HMGB1 mRNA (2.67±0.23) (P=0.000,0.035,0.016),NF-κB mRNA (2.04±0.29) (P=0.000,0.039,0.012),ileum HMGB1 mRNA (6.70±0.66) (P=0.001,0.038,0.015),NF-κBmRNA (3.71±0.53) (P=0.000,0.018,0.006)],the other three groups showed a significant down-regulation,with the most remarkable decrement in the anti-HMGB1 group.Application of anti-HMGB1,anti-MyD88,and anti-TRIF could drastically attenuate the tissue injuries in ischemia reperfusion.anti-HMGB1 exhibited the most significant effect.Conclusions HMGB1 and its downstream signals play an important role in intestinal ischemia reperfusion injuries in mice.Of two downstream signals,the TRIF-dependent pathway exerts a more important effect than that of the MyD88-dependent pathway.

Expression and clinical significance of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3) in low-grade glioma / 中国肿瘤临床

Objective:To explore the relationship of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3, CD58) expression in glioma with clinical features and its role in clinical prognosis. Methods:Clinical data and mRNA microarray data of 514 patients with glioma were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas and were used to study the expression of LFA-3 (CD58). Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between CD58 expression and survival of patients with glioma. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to further analyze the relationship of CD58 with age, sex, and pathological grade of glioma. Results:The results of the stratified χ2 test of CD58 expression and tumor grading were shown, considering tumor type, gender and age of diagnosis (all P<0.05). CD58 expression was sig-nificantly correlated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with glioma. Patients with high CD58 expres-sion presented short OS and DFS (P<0.0001). Conclusion:CD58 possibly promotes tumorigenesis in gliomas and thus can serve as a potential tumor diagnostic marker and individual therapeutic target.
