OBJECTIVE: To study the prognostic values of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyteratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) andlymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) for patients withmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) undergoingradical cystectomy.METHODS: The clinical data of 186 MIBC patientsreceiving radical cystectomy from January 2013 toOctober 2015 were collected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted based on preoperative NLR, PLR and LMR as well as survival of patientswithin 5 years after surgery. The NLR, PLR and LMRvalues of patients with different clinicopathological characteristics were described by frequencies.Recurrence-free survival curve was plotted using theKaplan-Meier method, and survival curves were compared by the log-rank test. Independent risk factorsfor recurrence were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis. NLR, PLR and LMR were utilizedto establish the recurrence risk scoring model, and theaccuracy for predicting recurrence was assessed byROC curves.RESULTS: NLR groups had significantly differentpathological grade, T stage, lymph node metastasis and tumor number. The differences in age,pathological grade, T stage, lymph node metastasisand tumor number were significant between PLRgroups. Gender, pathological grade, T stage, lymphnode metastasis, tumor number and tumor sizehad significant differences between LMR groups(P<0.05). There were significant differences in recurrence-free survival rate between NLR≥2.45 andNLR<2.45 groups (30.21% vs. 71.11%), PLR≥157.3and PLR<157.3 groups (26.73% vs. 77.65%), andLMR≥3.72 and LMR<3.72 groups (79.10% vs.33.61%) (P<0.001). Pathological grade, T stage,tumor number, lymph node metastasis, NLR, PLRand LMR were independent risk factors for MIBCpatients. After these factors were included into therecurrence risk scoring model, the area under ROCcurve was 0.821.CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative NLR, PLR and LMR are potential biomarkers

SARS-CoV-2 entry related genes are comparably expressed in children's lung as adults

To explore whether the expression levels of viral-entry associated genes might contribute to the milder symptoms in children, we analyzed the expression of these genes in both children and adults lung tissues by single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Both scRNA-seq and IHC analyses showed comparable levels of the key genes for SARS-CoV-2 entry in children and adults, including ACE2, TMPRSS2 and FURIN, suggesting that instead of lower virus intrusion rate, other factors are more likely to be the key reasons for the milder symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infected children.

Objective To explore the clinical value of the level of granzyme B and perforin mRNA in urine for the diagnosis of renal transplantation patients with delayed graft function (DGF). Methods Twenty-four cases of renal transplantation patients with DGF were included in this study. Seventy-three u-rine specimens were obtained from these patients who received graft biopsies. Among the 24 cases, ureteral obstruction occurred in 2 cases, vascular thrombosis in 1 case, acute CsA intoxication in 3 cases, acute tubu-lar necrosis (ATN) in 7 cases, ATN complicating borderline change in 2 cases, ATN complicating acute re-jection (AR) in 3 cases, AR in 6 cases. Total RNA was isolated from the urinary cells. Messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the cytotoxic proteins perforin and granzyme B gene were measured with the quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction assay-(RT-PCR). SPSS13.0 software was used for data analysis. Levels of mRNA were log-transformed before analysis. Results The levels of perforin and granzyme B mRNA in u-rine among the ureteral obstruction group, vascular thrombosis group, acute CsA intoxication group and ATN group were very low. There was no significant difference among these groups (P>0.05). However,among the ATN complicating borderline change group 1.22, 0. 97 fg/μg, ATN complicating AR group (1.20±0.39), (1.07±0.30)fg/μg, and AR group(11.13±0. 33), (1.01±0.19)fg/μg, the levels were increased significantly(P<0.001). Conclusion Measurement of mRNA encoding the cytotoxic proteins perforin and granzyme B gene in urinary cells in renal transplantation patients with DGF could be helpful to etiological diagnosis of DGF, and might be used as an index for the appropriate management of the borderline change.

Expression and significance of high molecular weight cytokeratin in breast cancer / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective To study the expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin (CK34βE12) in breast carcinoma and the relationship between the high molecular weight cytokeratin expression and patient's prognosis. Methods We detected the high molecular weight cytokeratin expression in 100 patient's of breast cancer tissues and paracancerous breast tissue in 30 cases immunohistochemically. The relationship between the expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin in breast cancer tissues and age, menstrual status, estrogen receptor expression, progesterone receptor expression, histology grading, TNM staging, pathology type, and patient survival was analyzed. Results (1) There was no significant correlation between high molecular weight cytokeratin expression of breast -cancer tissues and age, menstrual status, estrogen receptor expression, progesterone receptor expression (all P>0.05). But the correlation was statistically significant between that expression and histology grading, TNM staging, pathology category (all P<0.05). (2) By univariate analysis, the 5-year disease-free survival rate in patients with negative expression was lower than those with positive expression(P<0.05). By multivariate analysis, the expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin was unfavorably related with tumor free survival. Conclusion The expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin in breast carcinoma tissues was correlated with biologic malignancies of breast cancer, the negative high molecular weight cytokeratin expression of breast cancer tissues predicts poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF and VEGF in gastric carcinoma tissue,and analyze and identify the relationship between the expression and tumor angiogenesis together with biological behaviour in gastric carcinoma.Methods ElivisionTM immunohistochemical method was performed to detect the expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF,VEGF and CD34,and evaluate the value of MVD in surgically resected gastric carcinoma specimens and biopsy tissues under gastroscope,including normal gastric mucosa tissues, metaplasia tissues and gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia tissues. Clinicopathologic data of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results The positive expression of COX-2, PD-ECGF,VEGF and MVD in gastric carcinoma were significantly higher than those in normal gastric mucosa, metaplasia or gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia,and also their expression and MVD were closely related to lymph node metastasis and depth of invasion. The MVD in the groups of COX-2,PD-ECGF,VEGF positive-expression were significantly higher than those in negative-expression groups respectively. There were positive correlations among the expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF and VEGF in gastric carcinoma. MVD increased significantly when COX-2, PD-ECGF and VEGF coexpressed. Conclusion The expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF,VEGF and tumor angiogenesis participated in the genesis,invasion and metastasis of human gastric carcinoma.COX-2,PD-ECGF and VEGF participated in the tumor angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma. In the process of tumor angiogenesis and expression in gastric carcinoma, COX-2, PD-ECGF and VEGF could strengthen the effectiveness each other.They could strengthen the effective ness of tumor angiogenesis when they coexpressed. They could be selected as targets for tumor anti-angiogenesis treatment.
