Objective:To evaluate the value of preoperative prediction of vessel invasion (VI) of locally advanced gastric cancer by machine learning model based on the venous phase enhanced CT radiomics features.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 296 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer confirmed by pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2011 to December 2020 was performed. The patients were divided into VI positive group ( n=213) and VI negative group ( n=83) based on pathological results. The data were divided into training set ( n=207) and test set ( n=89) according to the ratio of 7∶3 with stratification sampling. The clinical characteristics of patients were recorded, and the independent risk factors of gastric cancer VI were screened by multivariate logistic regression. Pyradiomics software was used to extract radiomic features from the venous phase enhanced CT images, and the minimum absolute shrinkage and selection algorithm (LASSO) was used to screen the features, obtain the optimal feature subset, and establish the radiomics signature. Four machine learning algorithms, including extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), logistic, naive Bayes (GNB), and support vector machine (SVM) models, were used to build prediction models for the radiomics signature and the screened clinical independent risk factors. The efficacy of the model in predicting gastric cancer VI was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results:The degree of differentiation (OR=13.651, 95%CI 7.265-25.650, P=0.003), Lauren′s classification (OR=1.349, 95%CI 1.011-1.799, P=0.042) and CA199 (OR=1.796, 95%CI 1.406-2.186, P=0.044) were independent risk factors for predicting the VI of locally advanced gastric cancer. Based on the venous phase enhanced CT images, 864 quantitative features were extracted, and 18 best constructed radiomics signature were selected by LASSO. In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) of XGBoost, logistic, GNB and SVM models for predicting gastric cancer VI were 0.914 (95%CI 0.875-0.953), 0.897 (95%CI 0.853-0.940), 0.880 (95%CI 0.832-0.928) and 0.814 (95%CI 0.755-0.873), respectively, and in the test set were 0.870 (95%CI 0.769-0.971), 0.877 (95%CI 0.788-0.964), 0.859 (95%CI 0.755-0.961) and 0.773 (95%CI 0.647-0.898). The logistic model had the largest AUC in the test set. Conclusions:The machine learning model based on the venous phase enhanced CT radiomics features has high efficacy in predicting the VI of locally advanced gastric cancer before the operation, and the logistic model demonstrates the best diagnostic efficacy.

Objective To investigate the effect of RhoC expression in vascular endothelial cells on the proliferation and invasion of myeloma RPMI8226 cells and its possible mechanism. Methods RhoC shRNA lentivirus vector was constructed and transfected into myeloma vascular endothelial cells (MVECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The effects of conditioned medium on the proliferation, cell cycle and invasion of RPMI8226 cells were detected by CCK-8 test, flow cytometry and Transwell test. The expression of CDK, CyclinD1, AKT, PI3K, MMP2 and MMP9 were detected by Western blot. Results The expression of RhoC in MVECs and HUVECs were downregulated. The proliferation and invasion of RPMI8226 cells in RhoC shRNA group were lower than those in negative control group, and the cell cycle was blocked in G0/G1 phase (P < 0.05). The expressions of CDK, CyclinD1, AKT, PI3K, MMP2 and MMP9 in RhoC shRNA group were lower than those in negative control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression of RhoC in MVECs can regulate the proliferation and invasion of myeloma RPMI8226 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the participation of CDK, CyclinD1, AKT, PI3K, MMP2 and MMP9.

Purpose To investigate the expression of c-myc and MDM2 protein in multiple myeloma (MM) and their correlation with clinical stage.Methods Immunohistochemical SP three-step method was used to detect the expression of MDM2 and c-myc protein in 60 cases of MM with different clinical stages and 10 cases of nontumorous bone marrow tissue.Results The positive rate of c-myc protein in MM and nontumorous bone marrow tissue were 71.7% and 10.0%;the positive rate of MDM2 protein in two tissues were 80.0% and 20.0%,respectively.The expression difference of two proteins between MM and nontumorous bone marrow tissue was statistically significant (P < 0.05).The expression of c-myc and MDM2 protein was positively correlated with MM clinical ISS stage (P < 0.05),but irrelevant with the age and gender.The expression of c-myc and MDM2 protein in MM was positively correlated (P < 0.05).Conclusion The c-myc and MDM2 protein have a highly expression in MM,and it may be relative to the occurrence of MM and clinical stage.In the MM,c-myc and MDM2 protein may have synergetic functions and promote the development of tumor.

Résumé
Objectives To explore the pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of medulloblastoma (MB) in children. Methods Pathological characteristics, treatment outcomes and other clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 60 children with MB. Results The MB in all 60 children were high-grade tumor. The pathological type was mainly classic (45 cases, 75.00%) and other subtypes were seen in 15 cases (25.00%). Forty-eight (80.00%) children had total resection by micro-surgery, 9 children (15.00%) subtotal resection, and 3 children (5.00%) partial resection. Twenty-seven children were treated by radiotherapy after surgery, 6 children were treated by chemotherapy after surgery, and 5 children were treated with radiotherapy combined chemotherapy after surgery. Thirty-eight cases were followed up. The 2-year survival and disease-free survival rates were 63.16%and 55.26%. The 5-year survival and disease-free survival rates were 26.32%and 18.42%. The children with des-moplastic/nodular type survived significantly longer than the children with large cell anaplastic. The children with total resection survived significantly longer than the children with partial resection. The children with radiotherapy or chemotherapy survived significantly longer than the children without chemotherapy (P<0.05). Conclusions MB in most of children is high-grade tu-mors and the prognosis is poor. The pathological type is related with prognosis. Microsurgical total resection is the first choice of treatment. Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy can increase the survival rate.

Résumé
Objective To observe the effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor-Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR-Fc, etanercept) on the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in bleomycin induced interstitial lung disease of rats. Methods Forty-five male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups (control group, model group and rhTNFR-Fc treatment group, 15 rats in each), on the 7th, 14th and 28th days, five rats of each group were killed. The lungs were incised to make pathological sections which were stained with HE and Masson, and the expression of TGF-β1 was detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results There was no collagen deposition, alveolitis and fibrosis changes in the control group. The alveolitis and fibrosis of the treatment group was less severe than that in the model group (P<0.01). The expression of TGF-β1 in the model group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). In the 7th and 14th days, the expression of TGF-β1 in the treatment group was signific-antly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). Although that in the 28th day was a slightly higher but no statistical significance (P>0.05) could be detected. In the treatment group, the expression of TGF-β1 was lower in the 7th day (P>0.05) and was significantly lower in the 14th and 28th days than that in the model group (P<0.01). Conclusion Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor-Fc fusion protein can alleviate the severity of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis induced by Bleomycin-A5 in rats, which may be due to the inhibition of TGF-β1 overexpression.

Résumé
The expressions of survivin and bcl-2 protiens were examined in 8 specimens from normal pituitary tissues and 38 pituitary adenomas by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the expression of survivin was strongly associated with bcl-2 expression and abnormal expression of survivin resulted in inhibition of cell apoptosis, which might play a role in the pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas.
