RESUMO
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common pregnancy metabolic disorder in which a person with no history of hyperglycemia exhibits any degree of impaired glucose tolerance during gestation. GDM can be resolved on its own after birth, but mothers with GDM are more at risk for future problems, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. In addition, GDM can cause macrosomia in infants and obesity or even the risk of diabetes in childhood. Standard diagnostic tests for GDM are the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and glucose challenge test (GCT), which is a mandatory test at 28-28 weeks of pregnancy in most countries. Disorders in various molecular mechanisms, such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathways are involved in GDM. Therefore, a better understanding of these mechanisms can help find new therapeutic and diagnostic strategies accordingly. In this review, we first deal with molecular mechanisms involved in GDM occurrence and then summarized the studies that hired this knowledge for early diagnosis and prognosis of GDM. Finally, we present the latest achievements in the diagnosis of GDM based on exosomes, microRNAs, glycosylated hemoglobin, and inflammatory factors detection in maternal circulation.

Objective: To analyze the changes in glucose after using a decision support system (DSS) of a smartphone mobile application (APP) in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: In the intervention study, the data (including general information at the time of registration) of adult T1DM patients enrolled in the Chinese T1DM Registration Management Project and registered with TangTangQuan® APP were collected. Within 1 year after registration, fasting blood glucose, pre-prandial and postprandial blood glucose at the three meals, blood glucose before bedtime and in nocturnal time were collected every 3 months. Frequencies of total recorded glucose values and proportion of different ranges of glycemia were also collected and analyzed, including the range between 3.9-7.8 mmol/L (Euglycemia), ranged below 3.9 mmol/L (Hypoglycemia) and range above 13.9 mmol/L (hyperglycemia). The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the daily use frequency of DSS (Low/Moderate/High frequency groups). The changes in point blood glucose, the proportion of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia over time were compared among different groups, as well as the baseline characteristics and glucose characteristics of patients. Results: A total of 629 eligible T1DM patients were included, including 216 (34.3%) males and 413 (65.7%) females, aged (31.5±10.8) years, and disease duration [M(Q1, Q3)] of 1.2 (0.1, 7.4) years. There were 239, 189 and 201 patients in the low, moderate and high frequency groups, respectively. Significant differences were observed among the three groups in all timepoints of self-monitoring blood glucose except for the glucose before bedtime from 10 to 12 months after registration (all P values<0.05), and the glucose level at each point in the high frequency group was lower than that in the other two groups. In the first three months after registration, there was no difference in the proportion of hypoglycemia among the three groups (P>0.05). However, from 10 to 12 months after registration, the proportion [M(Q1, Q3)] of hypoglycemia [3.34% (0.85%, 7.40%), 3.00% (0.78%, 6.17%), 1.81% (0.37%, 4.69%)] (P=0.022) between groups (from low to high frequency groups) and hyperglycemia [4.04% (0, 12.16%), 1.88% (0, 7.80%), 0.81% (0, 3.87%)] (P=0.001) were significantly different. Conclusions: The DSS function of mobile APP is helpful to the glucose management of adult patients with T1DM within 1 year after registration. The average blood glucose in adults with T1DM decreased, and the proportions of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia were also reduced.

Small nucleolar RNA host genes (SNHGs) as a subset of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act critical roles in tumor progression. The present study aimed to elucidate the role and mechanisms of SNHG3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The correlation of SNHG3/miR-340-5p/HOXA10 with the clinicopathological features and outcomes in NSCLC was analyzed by TCGA cohort. In vitro and in vivo functional experiments were conducted to assess the role of SNHG3 in NSCLC cells. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase gene reporter were used to estimate the interaction between miR-340-5p and SNHG3/HOXA10 3'UTR. The effects of SNHG3 and (or) miR-340-5p on HOXA10 expression were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. As a consequence, the elevated expression of SNHG3 and HOXA10 or lowered expression of miR-340-5p was related to the lymph node infiltration, distant metastases and unfavorable prognosis in NSCLC. Ectopic expression of SNHG3 boosted the proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo, whereas downregulation of SNHG3 reversed these effects. Moreover, SNHG3 could bind with miR-340-5p and reduce its expression levels, and miR-340-5p attenuated SNHG3-induced tumor proliferation and HOXA10 expression in NSCLC cells. Our findings unveiled that SNHG3 might be an oncogenic factor in NSCLC by downregulating miR-340-5p.

Objective: To study the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of vagal paraganglioma in parapharyngeal space. Methods: Nine cases with vagal paraganglioma in parapharyngeal space were retrospectively analyzed who were diagnosed and treated between January 2006 and December 2018 in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital and the First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital. There were 6 males and 3 females, aged from 24 to 50 years old. The main symptoms in the 9 patients were hoarseness and neck mass, and the secondary symptoms were irritating cough, cough on drinking and dysphagia. The main sign was a well-circumscribed round mass, tough in texture, with or without ipsilateral lateral oropharyngeal wall uplift and vocal cord paralysis. The tumors were located between the bifurcation of the carotid artery and the jugular foramen in 7 cases and intruded into jugular fossa in 2 cases. All the 9 patients underwent head and neck enhancement CT and MRI and 7 cases received digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination and balloon occlusion test. The imaging features were tumors with rich blood supply in the parapharyngeal space of the upper neck, and the tumors were heterogeneous enhanced with contrast CT scan and enhanced MRI, which were closely related to the internal carotid artery, external carotid artery and jugular vein. Results: Among these 9 patients, 8 underwent surgical resection of tumors, including complete tumor resection in 7 cases and partial tumor resection in 2 case. One patient underwent partial tumor resection after being transferred to vascular surgery. There was no recurrence in 7 patients with complete tumor resection and slow growth was shown in 2 patients with partial tumor resection. Posterior cranial nerve injury occurred in 2 patients and stroke in 1 patient due to intraoperative ligation of internal carotid artery. Conclusions: Vagal paraganglioma in the parapharyngeal space is rich in blood supply and closely related to the internal and external carotid arteries, internal jugular vein and posterior cranial nerves. Surgical resection is the first choice for treatments. Choosing a reasonable operative approach for fully exposing the operative field and completely removing the tumor while protecting the internal carotid artery are the keys to successful surgery.

Objective: Using propensity score matching method (PSM) to investigate the clinical effect of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: From July 2007 to July 2018,174 postoperative patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled in pre-PSM cohort, including 168 males and 6 females, the median age was 60 years old (ranged from 37 to 79 years old).Loco-regional control (LRC),progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared and analyzed between the patients treated with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cisplatin was given in a dose of 80 mg/m(2) on days 1, 22, and 43). After the propensity score matching (PSM), 61 sub-pairs of 122 patients were generated in post-PSM cohort. Survival rate were assessed with Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test. Results: After the propensity score matching(PSM), 61 sub-pairs of 122 patients were generated in post-PSM cohort.The patients were followed up for 3-135 months, the median follow-up was 42 months. No significant differences in 3-year and 5-year LRC, PFS, OS were observed between the two groups (P>0.05) . For postoperative patients who had high-risk factors (extracapsular extension of nodal disease, and/or vascular embolism, and/or lymph node metastasis≥2, and/or positive surgical margin, and/or perineural infiltration),there were significant differences between the two groups in 3-year PFS (60.99% vs 84.49%,P<0.05), 5-year PFS (35.47% vs 56.97%,P<0.05) and 5-year LRC (41.02% vs 68.50%, P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in OS between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy was more efficacious than postoperative radiotherapy alone in terms of loco-regional control and PFS for high-risk postoperative patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Pancreatic cancer has poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis is a poor prognostic factor in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. The metastatic prevalence of para-aortic lymph node (PALN) ranges from 9.1% to 26.5% and it is listed as the distant metastatic group in pancreatic cancer. Nevertheless, it is controversial whether PALN metastasis is the contraindication of surgery in resectable pancreatic cancer for the shortage of level â evidence.This study concluded that PALN metastasis indicated poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer, but some patients with PALN metastases could benefit from surgery and their survival could be much improved after the combination of surgery and adjuvant therapy. Therefore, it is not wise to refuse surgery for all pancreatic cancer patients with PALN metastasis and the clinicians can cautiously choose the patients to do surgery. Besides, there are mainly retrospective studies rather than prospective and multicenter studies to explore the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients with PALN metastasis. Thus, more prospective and multicenter studies are needed to decide whether PALN metastasis is an independent prognostic factor in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

During insect larval-pupal metamorphosis, the obsolete larval organs and tissues undergo histolysis and programmed cell death to recycle cellular materials. It has been demonstrated that some cathepsins are essential for histolysis in larval tissues, but the process of tissue destruction is not well documented. Fat body, the homologous organ to mammalian liver and adipose tissue, goes through a distinct destruction process during larval-pupal transition. Herein, we found that most of the Bombyx proteases - including Bombyx cathepsin B (BmCatB) (BmCatLL-2), Bombyx cathepsin D (BmCatD), Bombyx cathepsin L like-1 (BmCatLL-1) and -2(BmCatLL-2), Bombyx fibroinase (BmBcp), Bombyx matrix metalloprotease (BmMmp), Bombyx A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 1 (BmAdamTS-1), Bombyx A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs like (BmAdamTS L) and Bombyx cysteine protease inhibitor (Bmbcpi)- were expressed highly in fat body during feeding and metamorphosis, with a peak occurring during the nonfeeding moulting or prepupal stage, as well as being responsive to 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). The aforementioned protease genes expression was upregulated by injection of 20E into the feeding larvae, while blocking 20E signalling transduction led to downregulation. Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining of BmCatB and BmBcp confirmed the coincident variation of their messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein level during the development and after the treatments. Moreover, BmCatB, BmBcp, BmMmp and BmAdamTS-1 RNA interference all led to blockage of larval fat body destruction. Taken together, we conclude that 20E regulates larval fat body destruction by upregulating related protease gene expression and protein levels during larval-pupal transition.

Objective: To compare the treatment outcomes for locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma between surgery plus radio(chemo) therapy(SRT) and non-surgery chemoradiotherapy(CRT). Methods: A total of 119 patients diagnosed with advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma without distant metastases between 2010 and 2014 were identified in the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, and they were divided into 2 groups: 42 cases in SRT group and 77 cases in CRT group. Patients' clinical information was collected. Survival rates and prognostic factors were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method with SPSS 23.0 software. The survival rates, laryngeal preservation rates and complication rates were compared between the two groups using the chi-square test.Among the 119 patients, 112 were males and 7 were females. Age ranged from 27 to 78 years, with an average age of 57 years. Results: There were no significant difference between the SRT and CRT group for five-year disease-free survival (DFS, 53.9% vs. 45.1%, χ(2)=1.251, P=0.263) and overall survival (OS, 54.9% vs. 45.6%, χ(2)=1.749, P=0.186). Compared to SRT group, CRT group did not showed the significant increase of treatment complications (χ(2)=0.858, P=0.354), with a higher laryngeal preservation rate (50.0% vs. 71.4%, χ(2)=6.493, P=0.011). Conclusions: Advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma is of high malignancy and poor prognosis. Combined modality treatment is a main approach for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. SRT offers disease-free survival and overall survival rates equivalent to CRT, but with a higher laryngeal preservation rate.

Objective: To discuss the impact of updated definition and classification system of pancreatic fistula published in 2016 on the postoperative classification of pancreatic fistula. Methods: Retrospective analysis was made on patients who underwent pancreatic surgery at ward 1 in Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2015 to December 2016.A total of 408 patients were included in this retrospective study, male/female was 184/224, aged from 9 to 81 years with mean age of 51.6 years.One hundred and fifty-two cases were performed pancreaticoduodenectomy, 125 cases for distal pancreatectomy, 43 cases for spleen preservation distal pancreatectomy, 61 cases for partital pancreatectomy or enucleation, 8 cases for middle pancreatectomy, 6 cases for pancreaticojejunostomy and 13 cases for other procedures.Clinical data including postoperative drainage fluid volume, amylase concentration, duration of hospitalization and drainage were obtained, revaluated and re-analyzed, classified grounded on 2005 edition and 2016 edition, respectively.t-test was adopted for data analysis. Results: According to the previous standards, the incident rate of pancreatic fistula was 57.4%, and the incident rate of B-level plus C-level pancreatic fistula was 35.8%, which decreased to 13.7% based on 2016 edition.Nine patients who received percutaneous puncture or endoscopic drainage was regraded from C-level to B-level. The average duration of postoperative hospitalization of patients without pancreatic fistula was (12.5±6.0)days, demonstrating no significant difference compared to (14.1±7.7)days, duration of postoperative hospitalization of A-level(under 2005 edition of criteria) pancreatic fistula group(t=1.66, P=0.09) and (12.4±6.1)days, duration of postoperative hospitalization of biochemical leakage group(t=0.14, P=0.89). Nevertheless, there was statistical significant difference between the average postoperative duration of hospitalization(30.7±16.9) days of B-level(under 2016 criteria) pancreatic fistula patients and pancreatic fistula-free patients as well as the biochemical leakage group patients (t=7.10, 7.13; both P<0.01). Conclusions: Based on the new diagnostic criteria, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula decreased dramatically.New classification system downgraded part of cases graded C-level pancreatic fistula to B-level and some B-level to biochemical fistula.The new diagnostic classification and criteria facilitated clinical practice, accomplished better conformity to clinical reality and potentially enacted clinical outcome.

Objective: To investigate the methods and short-time clinical results of reconstruction of Paprosky type â ¢ acetabulum bone defects by using tantalum augments. Methods: A total of 17 patients (17 hips) with Paprosky type â ¢ acetabulum bone defects, treated with tantalum augments in revision of total hip arthroplasty at Department of Orthopedics Surgery in General Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army were retrospectively analyzed from March 2014 to May 2016.There were 6 males and 11 females aged from 23 to 74 years with an average of (50.2±16.3) years. Tantalum augments or TM-Cup augment (the cup-on-cup technique) were used to reconstruct the defects.The TM-Cup augment was the tantalum revision cup which was removed titanium ring. The cup-on-cup technique combined TM-Cup augment and biological acetabulum cup. Augments were served as the nonresorptive structural allograft in revision of total hip arthroplasty. Harris hip score was used to evaluate clinical effects. The vertical position of the rotation center was measured and analyzed. Radiographic assessments of the acetabular components were performed by DeLee-Charnley and the Anderson criteria and recorded postoperative complications. Results: All the patients were followed up from 3 to 29 months with an average of (16.2±5.4) months, tantalum augments and biological acetabulum cup were used in 13 patients, the TM-Cup augment and biological acetabulum cup were used in 4 patients. At the time of the latest follow-up, the mean Harris hip score increased compared to preoperatively (86.8±8.3 vs. 30.0±12.0) (t=12.78, P<0.01), the average vertical location of the center of rotation was decreased ((25.3±9.8) mm vs.(47.6±10.5)) mm (t=4.95, P<0.01). All the tantalum augments and biological acetabulum cups were stable, there were no infection, dislocation and other complications. Conclusions: The use of tantalum augments could be considered as an effective management of Paprosky type â ¢ defects providing good clinical and radiographic outcomes in the short term.The cup-on-cup technique which was used in reconstruction of severe superior-invagination acetabular bone defects and restoration relatively normal center of rotation had special application value.

OBJECTIVE: Angioplasty and Stenting of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions have a higher complication rate and a large proportion of this is attributable to side branch arterial occlusion from forceful displacement of the atheroma into the ostia or snowplowing effect. This can result in severe disabilities when it result in small infarcts involving eloquent areas in the posterior circulation or the motor tracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present a series of 6 cases utilizing a new dual catheter technique for maintaining the patency of at-risk vessels during angioplasty and stenting. There are several methods previously described to help reduce the incidence of stroke but because they do not have a physical presence in the ostia to protect it, they are unable to guarantee the patency of the vessel. RESULTS: All 6 patients underwent angioplasty and stenting with the technique. The patients were assessed for complications with post-procedure magnetic resonance imaging and no complications were found. CONCLUSION: In this preliminary series, the dual catheter technique appears to safe and effective in preventing occlusion of the adjacent branch arteries. This technique may facilitate the use of the Wingspan stent in the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenotic segments by reducing the risk of peri-procedural stroke.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the changes in protein expression in patients with 1-bromopropane (1-BP) poisoning using high-throughput proteomic technique and to screen out protein markers. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 3 patients with 1-BP poisoning and 15 controls. The label-free proteomic tech-nique was used for the quantitation and identification of proteins expressed in these samples, and the results were compared between the patients with 1-BP poisoning and the control population. The bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the function of differentially expressed proteins. Results: Compared with the control popula-tion, the patients with 1-BP poisoning had >2-fold upregulation of 38 proteins and >2-fold downregulation of 68 proteins. The differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in immune response, signal transduction, and stress response. Conclusion: The proteins screened out may be potential protein markers for 1-BP poison-ing, which provides reliable and precise methods and thoughts for the diagnosis of 1-BP poisoning.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) is designed principally for the removal of benign and low-grade malignant lesions in the left pancreas. The aims of this study were to compare LSPDP with laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (LDPS), compare two splenic preservation techniques (splenic vessel preservation and Warshaw technique) and investigate factors that influence splenic preservation. METHODS: Information from patients who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy between December 2004 and January 2016 at a single institution was reviewed. Data were extracted from a prospectively developed database. Intention-to-treat and propensity score matching analyses were employed. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to investigate factors affecting splenic preservation. RESULTS: There were 206 patients in total (126 planned LSPDP and 80 planned LDPS procedures), of whom 108 underwent LSPDP and 98 LDPS. In intention-to-treat analysis, the duration of surgery was significantly shorter in the LSPDP group than in the LDPS group (mean 191·0 versus 220·5 min respectively; P < 0·001). Tumour size was an independent risk factor for splenic vessel resection in planned splenic vessel preservation operations, and a cut-off value of 3 cm provided optimal diagnostic accuracy. After a median follow-up of 35·9 months, there were no clinically significant splenic infarctions and no patient developed gastrointestinal bleeding after LSPDP. CONCLUSION: Planned LSPDP had a high splenic preservation rate and was associated with significantly shorter operating time than LDPS. Splenic vessel preservation could be predicted using a tumour cut-off size of 3 cm.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics of multiple primary cancers (MPC) associated with head and neck. METHODS: A total of 71 patients with MPC associated with head and neck treated from January 2008 to November 2015 were included in the retrospective study, of them 20 patients were synchronous MPC and 51 patients were metachronous MPC; 45 (63.4%) patients were field cancerization of head neck (FCHN) and 26 (36.6%) patients were non-field cancerization of head neck (NFCHN). For the synchronous MPC patients with an interval of 0 month, the lesion sites of FCHN were treated with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the site of severe lesion of NFCHN received firstly a standard treatment. Other types of MPC were treated according to international guide lines or experts consensus. RESULTS: With the mean follow-up of 63.4 months, the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) were 84.6% and 75.7% respectively. The 3-year and 5-year OS were 56.4% and 37.6% respectively in patients with synchronous MPC, and were 92.2% and 84.2% respectively in patients with metachronous MPC. There was significant difference in the OS between patients with metachronous MPC and patients with synchronous MPC (P=0.0002). The 3-year and 5-year OS were 85.7% and 77.9% respectively in patients with FCHN, and were 82.9% and 72.8% respectively in patients with NFCHN, with no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.297). CONCLUSION: With correct diagnosis and effective curative treatment, some of patients with MPC can get long-term survival, showing the better prognosis in metachronous MPC compared to synchronous MPC.

BACKGROUND: Enucleation of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) via robotic surgery has rarely been described. This study sought to assess the safety and efficiency of robotic surgery for the enucleation of small pNETs. METHODS: A comparison was conducted of enucleation of pNETs smaller than 2 cm by robotic or open surgery between January 2000 and May 2015. Propensity score matching was used to balance sex, age, BMI, tumour location and tumour diameter. Pathological results, safety-related outcomes (postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate, estimated blood loss, and short-term mortality and morbidity) and efficiency-related outcomes (duration of surgery and postoperative length of hospital stay) were compared between the groups. RESULTS: A cohort of 120 patients with pNET were enrolled in the study (1 : 1 matched for open or robotic surgery, 60 per group). Ninety-three patients (77·5 per cent) had a grade 1 tumour and 114 (95·0 per cent) had an insulinoma. Robotic surgery had a conversion rate of 5 per cent (3 of 60), and was not associated with an increased POPF rate (10 per cent versus 17 per cent after open surgery; P = 0·283) or grade III-V surgical complications according to the Dindo-Clavien classification (3 versus 10 per cent respectively; P = 0·272). Estimated blood loss was reduced with the robotic approach (32·5 versus 80·0 ml in the open group; P = 0·008), as was duration of surgery (117 versus 150 min; P < 0·001). Length of hospital stay after surgery was similar in the two groups (12·0 versus 13·5 days respectively; P = 0·071). CONCLUSION: Robotic surgery for enucleation of pNETs smaller than 2 cm did not increase POPF or major complication rates, and reduced the duration of surgery and estimated blood loss, compared with open surgery.

Objective: This study was mainly focused on styudy on he proteome profile change between exposure to 1-Bromopropane (1-BP) and 1-BP poisoning. Methods: The samples of serums from exposure to 1-BP and 1-BP poisoning were collected and analyzed through Label free proteome technology platform. The differently expressed proteins between the two groups were quantified and identified, followed by function analysis by bioinformatics. Results: 127 proteins over 2 fold-change were selected, in which 39 proteins were up-regulated and 88 proteins were down-regulated. These different-ly expressed proteins were mainly involved in the process of enzyme active regulation, inflammatory reaction, protein modification, stress response, coagulation, transport. Conclusion: The differently expressed proteins provided the potential protein biomarkers for the early diagnosis of 1-BP poisoning and was beneficial for clinical diagnosis of 1-BP and understanding of the mechanism of 1-BP poisoning.
