Objective: To analyze the recurrence factors and reoperation effect of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Methods: A total of 41 patients with recurrence after laparoscopic repair of the inguinal hernia admitted to the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were males, aging (62±7) years (range: 51 to 75 years). The recurrence intervals were 3 days to 7 years postoperatively. The surgical methods, causes of recurrence, and treatment outcomes of the patients were analyzed. Fisher exact probability method is used to compare the rates. Results: Among all cases, the primary surgical procedures included transabdominal preperitoneal herniorrhaphy (TAPP) in 31 cases and total extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy in 10 cases. The reoperative procedures included the TAPP of 11 cases and the Lichtenstein procedure of 30 cases. The factors of recurrent cases in all patients could be divided into 4 categories, including insufficient mesh coverage in 23 cases, mesh curling in 9 cases, mesh contractuture in 7 cases, and improper mesh fixation in 2 cases. Recurrence, infection, chronic pain, foreign body sensation didn't occur in the followed period of(M(IQR)) 18(24) months(range: 12 to 50 months). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative seroma between the TAPP and Lichtenstein procedure (3/11 vs. 20.0% (6/30), P=0.68). Conclusions: Postoperative recurrence of laparoscopic inguinal hernia is mostly caused by the lack of mesh coverage. Due to the emphasis on standardized surgical operation, a good outcome could be achieved through reoperation by the TAPP or Lichtenstein procedure.

Ubiquitination is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates protein stability and plays a function in numerous signaling pathways. Deubiquitinases play important roles in the regulation of the occurrence and development of different cancers. In this study, we analyzed the survival and prognosis of liver cancer patients according to the expression levels of 63 deubiquitinases. Results discovered that JOSD2 expression in tumor was significantly higher than that in the adjacent tissue (P<0. 0001) and was negatively associated with overall survival of patients (P < 0. 05). JOSD2 is a deubiquitinase from MJD sub-family. Other members of this sub-family were not correlated with liver cancer. The pathways related to cell proliferation were significantly enriched (FDR < 0. 05) in a differential gene function enrichment analysis of JOSD2 high-expressing samples in TCGA data. In hepatoma cell lines, we demonstrated that the overexpression of JOSD2 significantly enhances cell survival, migration and invasion. In conclusion, this study found that JOSD2 is highly expressed in liver cancer (P = 0. 041), and that patients with high-expressed JOSD2 have significantly shorter overall survival. Furthermore, overexpression of JOSD2 can promote the survival and metastasis of hepatoma cells (P < 0. 01), which suggests that JOSD2 might promote the survival and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To study the correlation of eight chemical components in Miao medicine <italic>Periploca forrestii</italic> from different producing areas with the ecological and soil factors. Method:The contents of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, procyanidin A<sub>2</sub>, and periplocin were simultaneously determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The root soil samples from various producing areas were collected for testing various soil factors, followed by climate data extraction with ArcGIS and topographic data recording using GPS. SPSS 24.0 was employed to conduct the bivariate analysis and stepwise regression analysis of the eight chemical components in <italic>P. forrestii</italic> from different producing areas with the ecological and soil factors. Result:Stepwise regression equations of the content of eight chemical components against ecological and soil factors were established. The findings demonstrated that neochlorogenic acid was negatively correlated with precipitation in the coldest season and chlorogenic acid negatively correlated with precipitation in the driest month. Cryptochlorogenic acid was negatively correlated with precipitation in the coldest season and average temperature in the warmest season, but positively with selenium. Isochlorogenic acid B was mainly affected by soil factors. Specifically, it was positively correlated with available iron and molybdenum but negatively with total phosphorus and available phosphorus. Isochlorogenic acid A was positively correlated with molybdenum but negatively with the coefficient of variation of precipitation. Isochlorogenic acid C showed a positive correlation with exchangeable magnesium. Procyanidin A<sub>2</sub> exhibited a positive correlation with molybdenum and a negative correlation with available potassium. Periplocin was negatively correlated with the coefficient of variation of precipitation. Conclusion:The correlation between the eight chemical components of <italic>P. forrestii</italic> and the ecological and soil factors has been clarified, which will provide reference for the introduction, cultivation, and standardized planting of <italic>P. forrestii </italic>and also a theoretical basis for further research on its ecological and soil factors and quality formation mechanism.

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the relationship between the expression level of SQLE and the prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through large sample data.@*METHODS@#The data of genome, transcriptome, gene chip expression, and clinical information were statistically analyzed in multiple cohorts of AML patients with large samples.@*RESULTS@#It was found that the expression level of SQLE gene in tumor cells of AML patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P=0.001). In the three AML corhort, the SQLE high expression group showed a worse therapeutic outcome (OS, P=0.009, P=0.0001, P=0.006; EFS, P=0.005, P=0.001). The unvariate and multivariate survival prognosis analysis indicated that the high expression of SQLE suggests lower event-free survival rate (EFS, HR=1.551, P<0.05) and overall survival rate (OS, HR=1.484, P<0.05). At the same time, it was also found that among different risk subgroups, the expression of SQLE in high risk group was higher (P<0.001, P=0.01), while the patients with high SQLE expression, who received allogeneic HSCT, had longer overall survival time (P=0.006).@*CONCLUSION@#The up-regulation SQLE expression suggests a poor prognosis for the patients with AML.

The persistence infection of low-risk type (type 6 or type 11) of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of genital warts. Given the high rate of recurrence after treatment, the use of a new molecular agent is certain to be of value. The aim of this study was to achieve targeted inactivation of viral E 7 gene in keratinocytes using the reprogrammed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) 9 system. To accomplish this, a universal CRISPR-Cas9 system for targeting both HPV6/11 E 7 genes was constructed by using a dual guide RNA vector. After transfection of the vector into E 7-transfromed keratinocytes, the expression level of E 7 protein was measured using western-blot analysis and the sequence of the E 7 gene was determined using Sanger sequencing. Cell proliferation was analyzed by CCK-8 assay, and cell apoptosis was evaluated by Hoechst 33258 staining, flow cytometry analysis and ELISA assay. The results indicated that both HPV6/11 E 7 genes can be inactivated by the single CRISPR-Cas9 system. Furthermore, silencing of E 7 led to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in E 7-transfromed keratinocytes but not in normal keratinocytes. Our data suggested that the reprogrammed CRISPR-Cas9 system has the potential for the development of an adjuvant therapy for genital warts.
