Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection(L-ILND)and open inguinal lymph node dissection(O-lLND)in the treatment of penile cancer after radical penile cancer surgery. Methods:The clinical outcomes of 63 patients who were diagnosed with penile cancer(TNM staging:T1_3,N0-3,M0)and received L-ILND(41 cases)or O-ILND(22 cases)after radical penile cancer surgery in Department of Urology,Hubei Cancer Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from 2008 to 2020 were retrospectively studied.The primary endpoint of this study was overall survival,and the secondary endpoints were 5-year overall survival and 5-year cancer-specific survival.The different clinical characteristics were compared between the L-ILND group and O-ILND group.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to study the risk facotrs for postoperative wound complications.Kaplan-Meier method was used for prognosis analysis.COX regression analysis was used to investigate the factors for overall survival prediction. Results:Among the 63 penile cancer patients studied,41 patients received L-ILND and the remaining 22 received O-ILND.There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups of patients.The median overall survival(78 months vs 72 months,P=0.844),5-year overall survival rate(74.5%vs 78.3%,P=0.144),5-year cancer-specific survival rate(77.2%vs 71.4%,P=0.228)showed no obvious difference between L-ILND and O-ILND group.The rate of postoperative wound complications in the O-ILND group was significantly higher than that in the L-ILND group(74%vs 15%,P=0.01 2).The result of multivariate COX regression analysis showed that tumor grade[hazard ratio(H-R)=2.774,P=0.021]and lymph node pathological stage(HR=1.482,P=0.024)were significantly correlated with patients'prognosis. Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of L-ILND and O-ILND is similar,but L-ILND has a higher safety profile and lower incidence of postoperative wound complications.Therefore,L-ILND is a more ideal surgical approach for inguinal lymph node dissection after radical penile cancer surgery.

Objective To explore the correlation of the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and the prognosis of patients with resectable colorectal cancer (CRC) and establish a predictive model. Methods A total of 753 patients who underwent primary lesion resection and were pathologically diagnosed with CRC were enrolled. They were randomly divided into training (n=527) and test (n=226) cohorts. The best cutoff value of PIV was determined by the time-dependent receiver operator characteristics curve, and patients were divided into high- and low-level groups to analyze the relationship between the high- and low-level groups of PIV and the clinicopathological characteristics and survival of patients. Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the prognosis. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by C index and Brier score. Results In the univariate model of overall survival (OS), high (> 231) baseline PIV (HR=1.627; 95%CI: 1.155-2.292, P=0.005) suggested that PIV level might be an independent prognostic factor for OS. The nomogram plotted according to PIV had a C index of 0.823. Its calibration curve showed good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes for one- and three-year OS probabilities, with Brier score of 0.035 and 0.068 for OS, respectively. Conclusion PIV can be used as a prognostic marker in patients with resectable CRC, and a novel prognostic model to guide clinical decision-making in CRC is successfully established.

Objective:To investigate the 2 years’ efficacy of intravesical instillation of domestic BCG versus epirubicin in the prevention of recurrence of intermediate-risk or high-risk non-muscular invasive bladder cancer and predictive factors of BCG instillation.Methods:From July 2015 to June 2020, 18-75 years old patients with moderate to high-risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) confirmed by pathological examination were involved. The ECOG score was 0-2. Exclusion criteria included ①immune deficiency or impairment (such as AIDS), using immunosuppressive drugs or radiotherapy, suspected allergic to BCG or epirubicin or excipients of the two drugs, fever or acute infectious diseases including active tuberculosis or receiving anti tuberculosis treatment, with severe chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or chronic kidney disease; ②combined with other urogenital system tumors or other organ tumors; ③combined with muscle invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (≥T 2); ④undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within 4 weeks (immediate instillation after surgery not included); ⑤ pregnant or lactating women; ⑥ comfirmed or suspected bladder perforation; ⑦gross hematuria; ⑧cystitis with severe bladder irritation that may affect the evaluation; ⑨participat in other clinical trials within 3 months; ⑩alcohol or drug addiction; ?any risk factors that may increasing the risk of patients. Epirubicin 50 mg was irrigated immediately after the operation(TURBT or laser resection). The patients were randomly divided into BCG15 group, BCG19 group and epirubicin group by the ratio of 2∶2∶1, and the patients were maintained intravescical instillation for 1 year. The recurrence and adverse events of the three groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to predict the risk factors of BCG irrigated therapy failure. Result:By June 15, 2020, the median follow-up duration was 22.1 months(12.1, 32.3), and there was no statistical difference between the groups ( P=0.9024). There were 274 patients enrolled in BCG19 group, 277 patients enrolled in BCG15 group and 130 patients enrolled in the epirubicin group. The drop-off rate was 16.6%(113 cases)and made no difference between groups( P=0.6222). There were no significant difference in age, gender, BMI, or ECOG score( P>0.05). During the follow-up, 116 cases was detected recurrence or progression. The recurrence rate of the three groups was 14.2% and 14.8% in BCG19 group and BCG15 group, and 27.7% in the epirubicin group. There was no difference in recurrence rate between BCG19 and BCG15 group( P=0.9464). The recurrence rate of BCG19 group was lower than that of the epirubicin group ( P=0.0017). The recurrence rate of BCG15 group was lower than that of the epirubicin group ( P=0.0020). There was no difference in the cumulative recurrence free survival rate between BCG19 and BCG15 group (95% CI0.57-1.46, P=0.7173). The cumulative recurrence free survival rate of BCG 19 group was better than that of the epirubicin group( HR=0.439, 95% CI0.26-0.74, P=0.0006), and the cumulative recurrence free survival rate of BCG15 group was better than that of the epirubicin group ( HR=0.448, 95% CI0.29-0.80, P=0.0021). The total incidence of adverse events in 19 BCG19, BCG15 and epirubicin group were 74.5%, 72.6% and 69.8% respectively. There was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between BCG19 and BCG15 group( P=0.6153). The incidence of adverse events in epirubicin group was lower than that of BCG19( P=0.0051) and BCG15( P=0.0167) groups.There was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse events (SAE) among the three groups ( P=0.5064). Log rank test univariate analysis and Cox risk regression model multivariate analysis showed that the history of bladder cancer recurrence( HR=6.397, 95% CI1.95-20.94, P=0.0001)was independent risk factor for BCG irrigation failure. Conclusions:The 2 years’ efficacy of intravesical instillation of domestic BCG is better than than of epirubicin with good tolerance and safety. There is no difference between BCG19 and BCG15 group. BCG doesn’t increase SAE compared with epirubicin. Recurrence status was an independent prognostic factor regarding recurrence-free survival.

Objective To observe the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer cells and the expression of PTEN and to explore its mechanism Methods Different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR (1, 2, 5,10 μmol/L) were used in vitro on HT-29 cells and the proliferation was detected by MTT assay and the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. PTEN mRNA and protein expression changes were observed by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results Different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR (2, 5,10 μmol/L) could inhibit the proliferation of HT-29 cells with dose and time dependent manner. With the increase of time and dose, the inhibition rate of HT-29 cells increased gradually and the difference was significant. (P < 0.05). After 5-Aza-CdR treated for 48h , the apoptosis rates of HT-29 cells in control and 1 , 2 , 5 , 10 μmol/L group were 2.443 ± 0.210 1, 3.900 ± 0.665 1, 14.07 ± 1.206, 24.70 ± 2.506, and 30.60 ± 2.390 respectively, which were significantly increased and the apoptosis rate increased with the increase of dose , which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The PTEN mRNA and protein expression of HT-29 cells were gradually increased when treated by different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR. Conclusion 5-Aza-CdR might induce the expression of PTEN by demethylation and then inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of HT-29 cells.

Objective:To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support one week before surgery and postoperative periods on the postoperative immune function and nutritional status in old patients with gastric cancer. Methods:A retrospective analysis was con-ducted on 77 stomach cancer patients who were admitted and received surgical treatment in our hospital. Among the patients, 38 re-ceived enteral nutrition support one week before surgery and early period of postoperation, and were labeled as the experimental group. The remaining 39 patients did not receive enteral nutrition support one week before surgery and early period of postoperation, and were named as the control group. The levels of prealbumin, albumin, transferrin, CD4+T (%), CD8+T (%), and CD4+/CD8+cells were also an-alyzed before surgery and 1 d and 8 d after surgery. Results:No statistical differences in the gender, age, site of tumor, TNM staging, and differentiated degree were found between the two groups. All operations were successful and the patients recovered well after sur-gery. In the nutritional status, the levels of prealbumin, albumin, and transferrin in the patients of the two groups had no significant dif-ference (P>0.05). On the first day after the surgery, the levels of prealbumin, albumin, and transferrin were significantly low in both groups;the control group had lower levels than the experimental group (P0.05). On the first day after surgery, the levels of CD4+T (%), CD8+T (%), and CD4+T/CD8+T cells were significantly low in both groups;the control group had lower levels than the experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Elderly patients with gastric cancer who receive appropriate enteral nutrition support one week before sur-gery would have better immune function and nutritional status after surgery than those who did not, and the recovery of old patients im-proved.

AIM:To investigate the activation and inactivation of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)when tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL)is applied to induce the apoptosis of androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line PC-3M.METHODS:After the treatment of TRAIL or LPS at different doses,we tested the nuclear translocation of NF-κB by cell immunohistochemical staining and electrophoretie mobility shift assay(EMSA),and evaluated the level of IκB by RT-PCR under pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC)treatment.RESULTS:EMSA and cell immunohistochemical analysis showed that the translocation of NF-κB was significantly activated when PC-3M cells were treated with TRAIL or LPS(P<0.05).The pretreatment of PDTC upregulated the expression of IκB and blocked the nuclear translocation of NF-κB.CONCLUSION:TRAIL remarkably stimulates the activation of nuclear NF-κB in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.On the other hand,the translocation of NF-κB can be significantly and efficiently inhibited in PC-3M cells by pretreatment with PDTC.The increased expression of IκB might be a clue for this inhibition,which means the possible way to enhance the effect of TRAIL in the apoptosis of prostate cancer cells.
