Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology assisted laparoscopic anatomic liver resection of segment 8 (Lap-S8).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 8 liver cancer patients including 7 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma and 1 case with intrahepatic cholangio-carcinoma who underwent 3D printing technology assisted Lap-S8 in the Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were collected. There were 7 males and 1 female, aged from 49.0 to 80.0 years, with a median age of 56.5 years. Of the 8 patients, 6 cases underwent laparoscopic anatomic liver resection of the entire segment 8, 1 case underwent laparoscopic anatomic liver resection of ventral subsegmental of the segment 8 and 1 case underwent laparoscopic anatomic liver resection of dorsal subsegmental of the segment 8. 3D printing technology was used to assist preoperative evaluation and intraoperative navigation for all 8 patients. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination, internet or telephone interview to detect survival and tumor recurrence of patients after operation up to March 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: all the 8 patients underwent 3D printing technology assisted Lap-S8 successfully, without conversion to open surgery. The operation time, hepatic portal occlusion time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of the 8 patients were (216±41)minutes, (56±11)minutes and 75 mL(range, 50 to 300 mL), respectively. There was no intraoperative blood transfusion in 8 patients, and the surgical margin of the 8 patients was negative. (2) Postoperative situations: the duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 8 patients were (9±3)days. There was no complication such as postoperative hemorrhage, biliary fistula, liver abscess or abdominal infection occurred. (3) Follow-up: all the 8 patients were followed up for 3.0?24.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 12.5 months. During the follow-up, 1 of 8 patients with preoperative diagnosis of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma developed tumor recurrence at 5 months after operation. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery followed with the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and target therapy, and survived with tumor. There was no tumor recurrence in the other 7 patients.Conclusion:3D printing technology assisted Lap-S8 is safe and feasible.

A nomogram for predicting the risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis / 中华传染病杂志

Objective:To construct a simple, precise and personalized comprehensive nomogram for prediction the risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and to evaluate its prediction value among individuals with previous tuberculosis history (PTBH).Methods:A matched case-control study (1∶2 ratios) was performed in 1 881 patients with PTBH treated in 12 designated tuberculosis hospitals in Hangzhou City between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2019, and there were 1 719 patients in training set, and 162 in validation set. A multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate independent predictors for the incident of MDR-TB in individuals with PTBH. A comprehensive nomogram was developed based on the multivariable Cox model. The accuracy of the prediction was assessed using concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The nomogram constructed based on the multivariable Cox regression model incorporated 10 independent predictors of the risk of MDR-TB. A history of direct contact (grade 1, 0-100.0 points) ranked on the top of all risk factors, followed by duration of positive sputum culture (grade 2, 0-84.5 points), unfavorable treatment outcome (grade 3, 0-52.0 points), human immunodeficiency virus infection (grade 4, 0-48.5 points), retreated tuberculosis history (grade 5, 0-40.0 points), non-standardized treatment regimens of retreated tuberculosis (grade 6, 0-32.5 points), duration of pulmonary cavities (grade 7, 0-31.0 points), passive mode of tuberculosis case finding (grade 8, 0-25.0 points), age<60 years (grade 9, 0-17.5 points), and standard frequencies of chest X-ray examination (grade 10, 0-14.0 points). The C-indexes of this nomogram for the training and validation sets were 0.833 (95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.807-0.859) and 0.871 (95% CI 0.773-0.969), respectively, indicating that the nomogram had good fitting effect. The calibration curves for the risk of incident MDR-TB showed an optimal agreement between nomogram prediction and actual observation in the training and validation sets, respectively.The areas under ROC curve of the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year MDR-TB risk probability of the training set were 0.904, 0.921, and 0.908, respectively, and those of the validation set were 0.954, 0.970, and 0.919, respectively. Conclusion:Through this nomogram model, clinicians could precisely predict the risk of incident MDR-TB among individuals with PTBH in the clinical practice.

Nowadays,surgery is a comprehensive approach for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma as the first choice,but there are still many limitations in surgical therapy,such as the location,boundary and metastasis of hepatic carcinoma.Currently,the indocyanine green fluorescence imaging-guided hepatectomy is widely used at home and abroad as a new progress and hotspot in hepatobiliary surgery,which makes hepatobiliary surgery more convenient and makes up for some deficiencies in hepatectomy.Thus,we summarized the experience of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging-guided hepatectomy in the People's Hospital of Hunan Province and discussed its value of application.

Application value of two-step separation approach in laparoscopic hemihepatectomy / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective To investigate the application value of two-step separation approach in laparoscopic hemihepatectomy.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 81 patients who underwent laparoscopic hemihepatectomy in the People's Hospital of Hunan Provincial between January 2015 and December 2017 were collected.Patients underwent laparoscopic hemihepatectomy using two-step separation approach after preoperative assessment.Hepatic pedicle,hepatic vein and branches were processed in the liver parenchyma,without intrathecal anatomy.Observation indicators:(1) preoperative assessment,intraand post-operative recovery;(2) follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed up to February 2018.Patients with hepatolithiasis received abdominal CT reexaminations at 5-7 days postoperatively for observing postoperative residual stones,and patients with malignant tumor were regularly followed up for 1-3 years.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Count data were described as frequency and percentage.Results (1) Preoperative assessment,intra-and post-operative recovery:81 patients underwent preoperative blood biochemistry,tumor biomarker and imaging examinations,and remaining functional liver volume and a liver model in 9 patients were respectively calculated and built using the 3D reconstruction software and 3D printing technology.Of 81 patients,68 underwent left hemihepatectomy and 13 underwent fight hemihepatectomy;77 underwent successful laparoscopic hemihepatectomy using two-step separation approach,4 were converted to open operation,with a rate of 4.9％ (4/81).Of 4 patients with conversion to open operation,1 had difficult tumor separation due to tumor invading port vein induced to close adhesion,1 had stone removal difficulties under laparoscopy due to hepatolithiasis,and 2 were converted to open operation due to severe liver cirrhosis induced to massive intraoperative bleeding.Of 81 patients,70 gained dividing line of hemiliver by intraoperatively hemihepatic blood flow occlusion,and then got effectively control of bleeding combined with Pringle blood flow occlusion,and 11 received Pringle blood flow occlusion in whole liver.Laparoscopic fluorescence imaging technology was intraoperatively used for 2 patients.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,rate of intraoperative blood transfusion and duration of hospital stay in 81 patients were respectively (206±42)minutes,(195±134)mL,11.1％(9/81) and (11.5+2.7)days.Eighty-one patients were complicated with bile leakage and were cured by conservative treatment,with a bile leakage incidence of 2.5％ (2/81),and without severe complications,such as postoperative bleeding,hepatic dysfunction and subphrenic abscess.There was no perioperative death and reoperation within 30 days postoperatively.(2) Follow-up and survival situations:55 patients with hepatolithiasis were followed up and underwent CT examinations of upper abdomen at 5-7 days postoperatively,including 52 with depletion of stones;3 with residual stones received removal of stones by choledochoscope at 3 months postoperatively,without residual stones.Seventeen patients with malignant tumor were followed up for 12-36 months,with a median time of 15 months,16 had tumor-free survival,and 1 was complicated with intrahepatic metastasis at 1 year after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma,and then underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and survived with tumor.Nine patients with benign liver diseases had good recovery during follow-up.Conclusion Two-step separation approach that is rationally used in laparoscopic hemihepatectomy is safe,effective and convenient.

Research progress of thioredoxin reductase 2 in malignant tumor / 实用肿瘤学杂志

Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR),a family of antioxidant family member,is widely distributed in the body.Its main function is to regulate the redox status of enzymes and transcription factors at the cellular level,and to participate in cell growth,pro-liferation and apoptosis.Meanwhile,it also provides favorable conditions for the occurrence and deterioration of malignant tumors.TrxR has three kinds of isoenzymes.TrxR2 distributed in mitochondria is also up-regulated in most malignant tumors and its expression is much higher than that in paracancerous tissues and normal tissues in recent studies.In addition,there is a lot of correlation between the up-regulated expression of TrxR2 and clinicopathological features as well as prognosis of many malignant tumors.It is speculated that TrxR2 may be involved in the occurrence, deterioration and metastasis in malignant tumors.This article reviews the progress of TrxR2 in several malignancies to explore whether or not TrxR2 can be a biomarker of malignancy and serve as a novel target for oncol-ogy treatment.

Role of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) as a peroxiredoxin in Leptospira interro-gans against oxidative stress / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To analyze the enzymatic properties of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase sub-unit C (AhpC) from Leptospira interrogans (L.interrogans) and to elucidate its physiological roles in host-pathogen interactions in macrophages during Leptospira infection. Methods A prokaryotic expression system for ahpC gene of L.interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai strain Lai was established to ex-press the recombinant AhpC(rAhpC). After purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography,the enzymatic ac-tivity of the rAhpC and its role in protecting DNA from oxidation were analyzed. The importance of each cys-teine in its molecule was evaluated through site-directed mutation. L.interrogans strains were pretreated with or without Conoidin A, a covalent inhibitor of peroxiredoxin, and then were used to infect macrophages. Changes in oxidative status in leptospires and survival rates of L.interrogans strains were analyzed by fluores-cence-activated cell sorting and colony counting method. Results The rAhpC was successfully expressed in the established prokaryotic expression system. It had peroxiredoxin activity that was able to catalyze the re-duction of hydrogen peroxide. Its ability of reducing hydrogen peroxide depended on the thioredoxin/thiore-doxin reductase system. Cys47 (a peroxidatic cysteine) and Cys167 (a resolving cysteine) were critical to maintaining the enzymatic activity of AhpC. AhpC could protect DNA from hydrogen peroxide induced-oxida-tive damage. When L.interrogans strains were pretreated with Conoidin A,the oxidative status in leptospires was elevated and the survival of L.interrogans in macrophages was significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion The AhpC of L.interrogans is a thioredoxin-dependent peroxiredoxin that plays an im-portant role in protecting L.interrogans against oxidative stress in macrophages.

Distribution of drug inactive enzyme genes in bacterial isolates and mechanism of its induction and inhibition / 浙江大学学报·医学版

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the distribution and the predominant gene carrying model of drug inactive enzyme genes in bacterial isolates, and the mechanism of its induction and inhibition.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The β-lactam, aminoglycosides and macrolides inactive enzyme genes were detected by PCR and sequencing in S. aureus, E.coli, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii and E. cloacae isolates. The expression of inactive enzyme genes were examined by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR when the bacterial isolates were treated with antibiotics or a histidine kinase blocker closantel.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 63 isolates of E.coli, 4 kinds of β-lactam, 2 aminoglycosides and 1 macrolides inactive enzyme-encoding genes were detected and the predominant gene-carrying models were [TEM+CTX-M]+aac(3)-II+mphA (25.4 %) and [TEM+CTX-M]+ aac (6')-I b (20.6%). In 24 isolates of S.aureus, 2 kinds of β-lactam and 3 aminoglycosides inactive enzyme-encoding genes were detected and the predominant gene-carrying models were aph (3')(41.7%) or aac (6)-I e-aph (2)-I a (25.0%). In 28 isolates of K.pneumoniae, 4 kinds of β-lactam and 2 aminoglycosides inactive enzyme-encoding genes were detected and the predominant gene-carrying models were [TEM+SHV]+[aac(6')-I b+aac (3)-II](28.6 %) and [TEM+SHV]+[aac(6')-I b+aac (3)-II]+ mphA (17.8 %). The isolates of A.baumannii and E.cloacae also had a predominant model to carry 2 or 3 kinds of inactive enzyme-encoding genes. 1/4 MIC of penicillin, cefotaxime or streptomycin induced the up-regulation of expression of 3 β-lactam or 4 aminoglycosides inactive enzyme-encoding genes (P<0.05), and this effect was inhibited by closantel (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The bacterial isolates frequently carry multiple kinds of inactive enzyme-encoding genes with different predominant gene-carrying models.Low concentration antibiotics can induce the up-regulation of inactive enzyme gene expression, which can be inhibited by histidine kinase blocker.</p>
