RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 has created a significant risk to worldwide public health. According to recent research, C-type lectins may be SARS-CoV-2 receptors. Layilin (LAYN), a broadly expressed integral membrane hyaluronan receptor with a C-type lectin structural domain, is a gene related to cell senescence. There are a few studies on C-type lectins in pan-cancer, and no pan-cancer analysis has been conducted for LAYN. METHODS: The genotype tissue expression (GTEx) portal and the cancer genome map (TCGA) database were used to collect samples from healthy and cancer patients. Bioinformatics methods are used to construct immune landscape, mutation landscape, and stemness landscape of LAYN. The single-cell sequencing data were used from the CancerSEA website to analyze the functions of LAYN. The prognosis potential of LAYN was discussed based on machine learning. RESULTS: LAYN is differentially expressed among cancers. Survival analysis indicated that LAYN was related to a poor overall survival (OS) rate in cancers, like HNSC, MESO, and OV. Mutational landscapes of LAYN in SKCM and STAD were constructed. LAYN was negatively related to Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) in THCA, PRAD, and UCEC, and with the Microsatellite Instability (MSI) in STAD, LUAD, and UCEC. The immune landscape in pan-cancer suggested that LAYN may be involved in tumor immune escape. LAYN plays a crucial role in the infiltration of immune cells in malignant tumors. LAYN participates in methylation modifications and affects tumor proliferation and metastasis by regulating stemness. Analysis of single-cell sequencing data suggests that LAYN may participate in several biological processes, like stemness, apoptosis, and DNA repair. LAYN transcript was predicted as a liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)-related RNA. The results of KIRC were verified in the GEO and ArrayExpress databases. Furthermore, prognostic models based on machine learning of LAYN-related genes were established. Hsa-miR-153-5p and hsa-miR-505-3p may be the upstream miRNAs of LAYN and have a high value for tumor prognosis. CONCLUSION: This study elucidated the functional mechanisms of LAYN from a pan-cancer perspective and provided novel insights into cancer prognosis, metastasis, and immunotherapy. LAYN has the potential to become a new target of mRNA vaccines and molecular therapies in tumors.

RESUMEN

Objective:To compare the complications associated with various urinary flow diversion methods and identify the factors that contribute to the decline in renal function after radical total cystectomy for myoinfiltrating urothelial carcinoma.Methods:This study conducted a retrospective analysis on the clinical data of 46 patients with pathologically confirmed muscle-invasive bladder cancer.The patients underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy with either ileal conduit diversion(n=21)or ureterocutaneous diversion(n=25)between January 2017 and December 2021.Perioperative data, postoperative pathology, postoperative complications, and follow-up results were compared between the two groups.Results:The study found significant differences between the two groups in terms of age[(67±6)years vs.(73±8)years, t=3.132, P=0.003], Charlson comorbidity index adjusted for age[(3.80±1.15) vs.(4.52±1.03), t=2.223, P=0.031], prognostic nutritional index[(48.81±5.74) vs.(43.64±4.74), t=3.347, P=0.002], operation time[(449±108)minutes vs.(326±130)minutes, P=0.001]], hospital stay[(20.1±11.1)days vs.(13.3±5.2)days, t=2.762, P=0.008], proportion of Clavien grade 3 or higher complications within 3 months after surgery(4/21 vs 0/25, χ2=2.105, P<0.05), and proportion of stoma-free patients(18/21 vs.5/25, χ2=6.373, P<0.01). According to Logistic multivariate analysis, perioperative blood transfusion and urinary tract infection were identified as independent risk factors for renal function decline 12 months after surgery.Escherichia coli was found to be the most common bacteria cultured from urinary tract infections in both groups after surgery. Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical cystectomy with ureterocutaneous diversion offers benefits such as shorter hospital stays and fewer perioperative complications for older and frail patients.However, a higher proportion of patients may require ureteral stenting.It is important to note that perioperative blood transfusion and urinary tract infection are major risk factors for renal function decline following radical cystectomy.

RESUMEN

Objective:To assess the efficacy of Tamsulosin monotherapy for overactive bladder(OAB)symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)patients with the prostate volume(PV)<40 ml, and to analyze related factors affecting the efficacy.Methods:300 BPH patients with OAB were enrolled, with an average age of(66.9±7.7)years and the PV<40 ml.Smoking, drinking and other living habits were investigated.Data on the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score(OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)and Quality of Life Scale(QOLS)were collected before and after 4 weeks of treatment with Tamsulosin 0.2 mg QN.The maximum urine flow rate(Qmax)and bladder residual urine volume(PVR)were measured before and after treatment.OBASS was used as the main assessment parameter to analyze the correlation of efficacy with age, lifestyle, pre-treatment symptom scores, PV, Qmax and PVR.Results:257 patients completed the study, and 169 patients were treated effectively, with an overall effectiveness rate of 65.8%.The effectiveness rates of the mild, moderate and severe OAB groups were 83.6%, 62.4% and 38.5%, respectively, with statistical significance( χ2=13.037, P=0.001).3 patients showed adverse drug reactions, including 2 patients with mild dizziness and 1 patient with nausea.The baseline OABSS score, the proportion of smoking patients and the proportion of drinking patients in the effectively treated OAB group were significantly lower than those in the ineffectively treated group.Multivariate analysis showed that baseline OABSS score( OR=0.735, P<0.001)and smoking( OR=2.111, P=0.029)were correlated with tamsulosin's efficacy in treating BPH patients with OAB with PV<40 ml. Conclusions:The effectiveness rate of Tamsulosin for the treatment of BPH patients with mild OAB with PV<40 ml is high.The baseline OABSS score and smoking are factors affecting the efficacy of Tamsulosin on OAB symptoms in these patients.

RESUMEN

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of the laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery combined with radiofrequency ablation to treat the early-stage breast cancer.Methods We collected 55 patients diagnosed early-stage breast cancer in retrospect,which started from January 2014 to December 2016.Twenty-seven of them were performed the laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery combined with radiofrequency ablation while others went through laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery without radiofrequency ablation.Meanwhile,we adopted the student t-test and the chi-square test to compare results of two groups.More specific,the main indexes of this study are including the post-operative local recurrence,the incidence of fat liquefaction or the incision-infection,operation time,post-operative hospital stay and the hospitalization expense.Results The laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery combined with radiofrequency ablation group had low local-recurrence than the laparoscopic breastconserving surgery group (0 and 7.69%).Additionally,there were no statistical differences between two groups in the incidence of fat liquefaction.However,The laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery combined with radiofrequency ablation group had more hospitalization expense than the laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery group [(4.1 ± 0.7) ten thousand yuan and (2.3 ± 0.6) ten thousand yuan,P < 0.05].Conclusions Although the laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery combined with radiofrequency ablation group remarkably increased the hospitalization expense because of the utility of the radiofrequency ablation related apparatus,it may provide the probability of shaving more residual tumor cell and may low down the recurrence,especially not rising up the incidence of the post-operative fat liquefaction.Therefore,this surgery method might be one of the potential developments in the minimal-invasive of early stage breast cancer.

RESUMEN

The cytochrome oxidase II (COII) genes in the mitochondrial DNA of 3 mosquito species (Anopheles sinensis, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus) were amplified and sequenced. Both the gene order and direction of transcription were identical to those of other species of Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex. The polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragments in these mosquitoes were approximately 700 base pairs and the nucleotide sequences exhibited more than 82% similarity, whereas amino acids were more than 85% similar. The frequency of transitions was less than that of transversions. Four highly conserved segments of COII proteins are similar to those in other insects. These segments contain the major amino acid residues of cytochrome c oxidase involved in electron transport and ligand binding.

RESUMEN

Objective To find out about the intention of medical workers with regard to reward for personal services and explore the value of their labor. Methods An intention survey through questionnaires was conducted by means of random sampling among 1 424 medical workers from 6 hospitals in Shanghai with regard to reward for personal services and a model of expected income was obtained via multivariate stepwise regression analysis. Results Only 2.9% of the medical workers felt satisfied with their current total income. Such factors as professional titles, educational backgrounds, working years, and specialties all exerted some impact on the medical workers expected income. The expected income was several times that of the actual income, and there was a large difference between the expected incomes of people at different levels. Conclusion Reward to medical workers for personal services in China needs to be enhanced and reform of the distribution system should keep step with the reform of the personnel system.
