The main treatment disciplines were vascular surgery (14 times), plastic surgery (3 times), and cardiology (2 times).Conclusion:For the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot, it is necessary to set up a multidisciplinary team as early as possible to control the causes of diabetic foot ulcer, prevent the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer, reduce the mortality and amputation rate, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Concurrent silencing of TBCE and drug delivery to overcome platinum-based resistance in liver cancer

Platinum-based chemotherapy resistance is a key factor of poor prognosis and recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, RNAseq analysis revealed that elevated tubulin folding cofactor E (TBCE) expression is associated with platinum-based chemotherapy resistance. High expression of TBCE contributes to worse prognoses and earlier recurrence among liver cancer patients. Mechanistically, TBCE silencing significantly affects cytoskeleton rearrangement, which in turn increases cisplatin-induced cycle arrest and apoptosis. To develop these findings into potential therapeutic drugs, endosomal pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) were developed to simultaneously encapsulate TBCE siRNA and cisplatin (DDP) to reverse this phenomena. NPs (siTBCE + DDP) concurrently silenced TBCE expression, increased cell sensitivity to platinum treatment, and subsequently resulted in superior anti-tumor effects both in vitro and in vivo in orthotopic and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Taken together, NP-mediated delivery and the co-treatment of siTBCE + DDP proved to be effective in reversing chemotherapy resistance of DDP in multiple tumor models.

Nanoparticles (NPs)-mediated systemic mRNA delivery to reverse trastuzumab resistance for effective breast cancer therapy

Monoclonal antibody-based therapy has achieved great success and is now one of the most crucial therapeutic modalities for cancer therapy. The first monoclonal antibody authorized for treating human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is trastuzumab. However, resistance to trastuzumab therapy is frequently encountered and thus significantly restricts the therapeutic outcomes. To address this issue, tumor microenvironment (TME) pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) were herein developed for systemic mRNA delivery to reverse the trastuzumab resistance of breast cancer (BCa). This nanoplatform is comprised of a methoxyl-poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) copolymer with a TME pH-liable linker (Meo-PEG-Dlink m -PLGA) and an amphiphilic cationic lipid that can complex PTEN mRNA via electrostatic interaction. When the long-circulating mRNA-loaded NPs build up in the tumor after being delivered intravenously, they could be efficiently internalized by tumor cells due to the TME pH-triggered PEG detachment from the NP surface. With the intracellular mRNA release to up-regulate PTEN expression, the constantly activated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway could be blocked in the trastuzumab-resistant BCa cells, thereby resulting in the reversal of trastuzumab resistance and effectively suppress the development of BCa.

Distal embolic filter protection during debulking treatment of peripheral artery disease / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To discuss the strategies of distal embolic filter protection(DEFP) during excimer laser ablation (ELA) or percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) in treatment of peripheral artery disease.Methods:Clinical data of 29 patients undergoing ELA or PMT under the DEFP from Oct 2019 to Aug 2021 were retrospectively collected to analyze the strategies of DEFP and high-risk factors of capturing clinically significant macrodebris.Results:There were 21 males and 8 females, aged (70.3±11.0) years with 32 lesions (29 limbs) including 5 in-stent restenosis (ISR), 10 thrombosis and 17 chronic total occlusion (CTO). The technical success rate of DEFP device release and recovery was 100%. The overall debris capture rate was 77.3% and the macrodebris capture rate was 36.4%. Even with DEFP the distal embolization (DE) incidence was 3.4%. When ELA for CTO with severe calcification or long-segment ISR lesions, the capture rate of macrodebris was as high as 60.0%, and the former was significantly higher than ELA for CTO without high calcification lesions ( P<0.05). Conclusion:ELA or PMT under the DEFP in treatment of peripheral artery disease appears to be of great significance in preventing DE.

Finite element simulation of stent implantation and its applications in the interventional planning for hemorrhagic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases / 生物医学工程学杂志

Numerical simulation of stent deployment is very important to the surgical planning and risk assess of the interventional treatment for the cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Our group developed a framework to deploy the braided stent and the stent graft virtually by finite element simulation. By using the framework, the whole process of the deployment of the flow diverter to treat a cerebral aneurysm was simulated, and the deformation of the parent artery and the distributions of the stress in the parent artery wall were investigated. The results provided some information to improve the intervention of cerebral aneurysm and optimize the design of the flow diverter. Furthermore, the whole process of the deployment of the stent graft to treat an aortic dissection was simulated, and the distributions of the stress in the aortic wall were investigated when the different oversize ratio of the stent graft was selected. The simulation results proved that the maximum stress located at the position where the bare metal ring touched the artery wall. The results also can be applied to improve the intervention of the aortic dissection and the design of the stent graft.

Objective:To discuss the clinical treatment for arteriosclerosis obliterans combined with acute thrombosis (ASOCAT) of lower extremities.Methods:The treatment methods and results of 30 patients with ASOCAT admitted to our center from Jan 2009 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The course of acute thrombosis in 30 patients was (9.5±5.2) days, and the average course of ASO was (2.1±1.4) years. Among 30 patients, 13 patients had aortoiliac occlusion (type Ⅰ), and 17 patients had femoropopliteal lesion (type Ⅱ). Twenty-eight patients underwent endovascular treatment, 1 had hybrid operation, and 1 was given aorto-bilateral femoral bypass. One patient died perioperatively. 24 patients were followed up for (16.3±16.1) months. One died during follow-up.Two patients underwent above-knee amputation within 6 months. Two patients had distal superficial femoral artery reocclusion within 12 months. The restenosis/reocclusion rates within 12 months of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients were 12.5% and 21.4%, respectively. The 6/12-month amputation-free survival rates for type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ were 87.5%/87.5% and 92.8%/85.7%, respectively.Conclusion:Reasonable and active use of open surgery, endovascular treatment or hybrid operation could achieve acceptable outcomes in patients with ASOCAT.

Advances in the fenestrated stent-graft and the stent-graft for the in-situ fenestration technique / 中华外科杂志

The endovascular exclusion is an effective treatment of aortic aneurysm diseases in frail and elderly patients who cannot suffer the open surgery. However, as the key treatment device of this technique, traditional stent-grafts are not suitable to treat complex aortic aneurysm diseases in emergency. The emergence of the fenestrated stent-graft and in-situ fenestration has brought new dawn to the treatment of these patients. This study reviews the advances in complex aortic aneurysms treated by the fenestrated stent-graft and the in-situ fenestration. In addition, the novel concept of the fabric structure designed for "in-situ fenestrated stent-graft" is proposed for the in-situ fenestration technique. It is expected to break through the bottleneck of the present fenestrated stent-grafts. It would be beneficial to the bailout of complex aortic aneurysm diseases and thereby benefitting more patients.

Application of cerebrospinal fluid circulating cell-free DNA in the diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the application value of cerebrospinal fluid circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal metastases in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Twenty-five patients with leptomeningeal metastases of NCSLC from Fudan University Huashan Hospital North during the period from September 2017 to November 2018 were enrolled. All 25 patients were confirmed leptomeningeal metastases by cerebrospinal fluid cytology and immunocytochemical staining of cytokeratin(CK7), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), thyroid transcription factor-1(TTF-1) and Ki67. The cerebrospinal fluid cfDNA was extracted and genetic variation of 12 genes including epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), TP53 and anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK) was detected by next-generation sequencing [PlasAim TM gene non-invasive detection of lung cancer (12 gene) kit, Singlera Genomics].The application value of cerebrospinal fluid cfDNA in the diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal metastases of NSCLC was analyzed with the cfDNA mutation data and the clinical follow-ups. Results Morphologically typical lung cancer tumor cells with tumor immunochemistry marker CK, CK7 and CEA were found in the cerebrospinal fluid of all 25 patients. Next generation sequencing of cerebrospinal fluid showed that 96％(24/25) patients had at least one single nucleotide variation (SNV) or copy number variation (CNV). The EGFR and TP53 mutations were identified in 80％(20/25) and 48％(12/25) of the patients, respectively. In addition, patients with bone metastases had a higher rate of EGFR mutations than those without bone metastases (100％ vs 64％, P<0.05). Changes in the mutant allele frequency of EGFR and TP53 in cerebrospinal fluid were consistent with patients' disease progression parameters including neurological symptoms, imaging, and tumor biomarkers. The results indicate that genetic alteration of EGFR in cerebrospinal fluid cfDNA is an actionable biomarker for targeted therapy of leptomeningeal metastases of lung cancer. Conclusion Cerebrospinal fluid cfDNA accurately reveals the unique genetic background of leptomeningeal metastasis in NSCLC, showing great application value in the diagnosis and treatment of the leptomeningeal metastasis of NSCLC.

Research progress of acute aortic syndrome / 中华外科杂志

Acute aortic syndrome(AAS) is a lethal disease with acute onset and a high mortality rate as well as a higher incidence rate especially in an aging population. The diagnostic techniques of AAS have been improving in recent years. Many serum biomarkers have been shown to have the potential of further clinical implication. Advancement of imaging techniques has also improved the accuracy of early diagnosis. Although traditional treatment modality involving open surgery is life-saving, it still has a high mortality rate and a high major morbidity rate. The increasing utilization of endovascular techniques has greatly improved the prognosis of AAS, while it still need further optimization to be applied in different subgroups of patients.

Clinical features and surgical treatment of neurilemmoma versus carotid body tumors at bifurcation of carotid artery / 浙江大学学报·医学版

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze clinical features, surgical treatment and outcomes of neurilemmoma and carotid body tumors in bifurcation of carotid artery.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 17 patients with neurilemmomas and 76 patients with carotid body tumors at the bifurcation of carotid artery, who were surgically treated in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from March 2012 to November 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological characteristics, surgical procedures and outcomes were compared between two groups.@*RESULTS@#No difference of preoperative clinical demographic data was found between two groups. Operation time of the neurilemmoma group was significantly shorter than that of the carotid body tumor group[(93.9±30.8) min vs. (159.3±52.9) min, 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The clinical manifestations of neurilemmoma and carotid body tumors at carotid artery bifurcation are similar. The carotid body tumor group has a longer operating time, larger intra-operative blood loss, higher external carotid resection rate and relative higher incidence of malignancy. More cautions should be given when carotid body tumors at carotid artery bifurcation are treated.

Finite Element Analysis of Aortic Dissection Treated with Stent Graft / 医用生物力学

Objective To study the process of stent graft implantation into the aortic dissection model by finite element simulation, calculate the stress distribution at different locations of the aorta after the implantation, and analyze the biomechanical mechanism of new lesions for implantation of stent grafts. Methods Based on the computed tomography angiography (CTA) image data of the aorta, a three-dimensional geometric model of patient-specific aortic dissection was established with image segmentation and reconstruction. The wall thickness and material properties of the aortic dissection of the computational models were set according to the literature data. Stent grafting rings with different geometric parameters were designed in a computer-aided design (CAD) software, and the procedure of stent graft implantation was simulated by a finite element analysis software. Results When the implanted stent graft reached a steady-state, the maximum Von Mises stress of the aorta was markedly related to the position of the stent graft and located at the bare stent or small nickel-titanium alloy ring. In the long-term, this force might cause a new tear to appear at the treated aorta. Conclusions The position of the stent graft had a weak effect on the distribution of the maximum Von Mises stress of the aorta, but there was an obvious effect on the Von Mises stress of the aorta. These research outcomes may provide significant guidance for selecting the position of the stent graft.

Loss of bifurcation patency after cross-over stenting of ostial lesions in superficial femoral artery: possible causes, prevention and reintervention / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Crossover stenting across the origin of the profunda femoral artery (PFA) and occasionally into the common femoral artery (CFA) is commonly used after suboptimal balloon angioplasty of ostial occlusive lesions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) involving the bifurcation. Late stent occlusion at the bifurcation is not rare and results in severe lower extremity ischemia. Therefore, we tried to assess its possible causes, prevention and reintervention.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using a prospectively maintained single-center database, 12-month femoral bifurcation patency was retrospectively compared and lesion and procedural predictors of stent occlusion were determined among 63 patients (64 lesions) who between July 2011 and February 2013 underwent crossover (36 non-jailed and 15 jailed SFA, and 12 distal and 1 complete CFA) stenting of de novo ostial SFA lesions.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twelve-month overall patency rate at the femoral bifurcation was 88%, with no significant difference between jailed-ostial SFA (80%) and distal CFA (67%) stenting (P = 0.731), and significant differences between either and non-jailed ostial stenting (100%, P = 0.035 and 0.002). When PFA ostium was jailed by the stent, patients with preexisting CFA or PFA lesions had a 12-month bifurcation patency rate of 20%, significantly lower than those with simple ostial SFA lesions (83%, P = 0.015). Stent induced intimal hyperplasia caused bifurcation occlusion in 6 surgical reintervention cases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In crossover stenting of ostial lesions in SFA, bifurcation patency loss was significantly higher in distal CFA and jailed ostial SFA stenting than non-jailed ostial SFA stenting. Preexisting CFA or PFA lesion is a significant risk factor for bifurcation patency loss when PFA ostium is jailed by crossover stenting.</p>
