Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of cAMP response element-binding protein 3-like 1 (CREB3L1) in gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 97 patients who received surgical resection of gastric cancer in Lanzhou University Second Hospital from Jan. 2019 to Dec. 2020 were selected as the study subjects. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression level of CREB3L1 in gastric cancer tissues and matched paracancer tissues. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of CREB3L1 in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues. Statistical methods were used to analyze the relationship between the expression level of CREB3L1 in gastric cancer tissues and the degree of differentiation of tumor cells, tumor size, depth of invasion, TNM staging and other clinicopathological data, and Logistic regression analysis was used to study the risk factors of gastric cancer. To explore the clinical significance of CREB3L1 expression level in gastric cancer.Results:Immunohistochemical results showed that CREB3L1 protein was mainly expressed in the nucleus. The positive rate in gastric cancer tissues was 17.5% (17 cases), which was lower than that in normal adjacent tissues 84.5% (82 cases), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=87.15, P<0.001). qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of CREB3L1 in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues. The results showed that the expression level of CREB3L1 was significantly higher in adjacent tissues than in cancer cells. The results were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The positive expression rate of CREB3L1 was decreased in the cancer tissues of gastric cancer patients, and its expression level was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, tumor size, invasion depth and TNM stage ( P<0.05), but not with Lauren classification and tumor location ( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the positive expression level of CREB3L1 was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation in gastric cancer patients ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of CREB3L1 is decreased in gastric cancer, which is related to the degree of tumor differentiation, tumor size, invasion depth and TNM stage, which is of great value in early and accurate diagnosis of benign and malignant gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of postoperative C-reactive protein for serious complications after Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 298 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy in the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army from January 2017 to June 2019 were collected. There were 253 males and 45 females, aged from 24 to 86 years, with a median age of 60 years. Of the 298 patients, 275 cases underwent no serious postoperative complications and 23 cases underwent serious postoperative complications. Observation indicators: (1) serious postoperative complications; (2) analysis of risk factors for serious postoperative complications after Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer; (3) performance evaluation of the predictive indicators. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using Logistic regression model. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn and the area under curve (AUC) was used to compare and estimate the efficiency of diagnostic criteria. The value of Youden index was used to determine the optimal cut-off point. Results:(1) Serious postoperative complications: of the 298 patients, 23 cases underwent complications classified ≥grade Ⅲa of Clavien-Dindo classifica-tion, including 10 cases with grade Ⅲa complications, 7 cases with grade Ⅲb complications, 4 cases with grade Ⅳa complications, 1 case with grade Ⅳb complications and 1 case with grade Ⅴ complications. (2) Analysis of risk factors for serious postoperative complications after Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer. Results of univariate analysis showed that operation time, indicators of C-reactive protein concentration and neutrophil count at post-operative day 1, and indicators of C-reactive protein concentration, white blood cells count, neutrophil count and platelet count at postoperative day 3 and pathological stage were related factors affecting serious complications for advanced gastric cancer after Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy ( χ2=7.671, 4.504, 5.045, 48.293, 9.575, 15.436, 13.731, 9.537, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that the operation time ≥250 minutes, the concentration of C-reactive protein at postoperative day 3 ≥16.65 mg/dL, the neutrophil count at postoperative day 3 ≥8.167×10 9/L, the platelet count at postoperative day 3 ≥218×10 9/L and the pathological stage of tumor as stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ were independent risk factors affecting serious complications for advanced gastric cancer after Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy ( odds ratio=3.721, 16.084, 6.056, 6.893, 12.455, 95% confidence interval: 1.032-13.421, 4.657-55.547, 1.073-34.163, 1.798-26.423, 1.338-115.930, P<0.05). (3) Performance evaluation of the predictive indicators: the C-reactive protein concentration at postoperative day 3 was a high-performance predictor with the AUC as 0.851 (95% c onfidence interval: 0.780-0.921, P<0.05) and neutrophil count and platelet count at postoperative day 3 were low-performance predictors with the AUC as 0.659 and 0.666 (95% confidence interval: 0.570-0.748 and 0.581-0.750, P<0.05). Conclusion:The C-reactive protein concentration ≥16.65 mg/dL at postoperative day 3 is a high performance predictive indicator for serious complications after Da Vinci robotic surgical system radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the femoral head perfusion and to predict the traumatic avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head by single photon emission computerized tomography and computerized tomography (SPECT/CT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 18 adult beagle dogs were divided randomly into three equal-sized (n equal to 6) groups. Subsequently different degrees of ischemia model were developed by destroying blood vessels of the femoral head. The left hip received sham operation as normal control and the right hip underwent blood interruption. In Group A, the ligamentum teres was cut off. In Group B, the marrow cavity of the right femoral neck was destroyed while in Group C, the soft tissues at the base of the femoral neck were stripped in addition to the resection of the ligamentum teres and destruction of the marrow cavity. Three hours after surgery, SPECT/CT was performed. Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) measurements were also obtained at three different time points (before operation, immediately and three hours after operation) in order to assess the change process of blood supply to the femoral head.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>SPECT/CT showed no significant difference in the radionuclide uptake between the right and left femoral heads in Group A (t equal to -0.09, P equal to 0.94) and Group B (t equal to 0.52, P equal to 0.62). However, in Group C, it was 261+/-62 for the right femoral head, only 12% of that in the left femoral head. LDF measurements indicated that the femoral head perfusion was decreased from (45.0+/-3.3) PU to (39.1+/-3.7) PU in Group A,from (44.0+/-2.7) PU to (34.3+/-2.6) PU in Group B, and from (47.3+/-2.1) PU to (4.96+/-0.6) PU in Group C immediately after operation. However, the perfusion was restored and returned to normal values three hours after operation except in Group C.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SPECT/CT could assess the perfusion of the femoral head semiquantitatively, which might be useful in predicting the development of traumatic AVN.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) on the cell surface of highly invasive human prostate cancer cells PC3 and its possible molecular mechanisms of its effect on cell invasion through analyzing FAK/Src signaling pathway.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of cell surface HSP90 on PC3 cells was studied by immunofluorescence staining and surface biotinylation assay respectively. A specific HSP90 antibody was used to inhibit the cell surface HSP90. In vitro cell invasion was assessed by modified Boyden chambers. Phosphorylated FAK on tyr 397, 576, 577 and 925, and phosphorylated c-Src on tyr 416 were examined by Western blot assay. The association between FAK and c-Src was analyzed by immunoprecipitation. The effects of FAK knockdown by siRNA or Src kinases inhibitor PP2, with or without anti-HSP90 antibody, on PC3 cell invasion were also evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A pool of HSP90 was detected on the cell surface of PC3 cells. A specific HSP90 antibody significantly retarded tumor cell invasion. Concomitant with this finding, targeting cell surface HSP90 significantly inhibited the phosphorylations of FAK and c-Src, and also the interactions between FAK and c-Src. FAK knockdown or PP2 dramatically suppressed cell invasion, however, anti-HSP90 antibody didn't further inhibit cell invasion.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Cell surface HSP90 promotes human prostate cancer cell invasion through a FAK/c-Src signaling, with may be a novel therapeutic target against metastatic tumors.</p>
