Periostin promotes migration and invasion of renal cell carcinoma through the integrin/focal adhesion kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway.

Periostin (POSTN) is an extracellular matrix protein which is overexpressed in a variety of cancers and has been related to tumorigenesis of renal cell carcinoma. However, the involvement of POSTN in renal cell carcinoma migration, invasion, and their underlying mechanisms has not been established. In this study, renal cell carcinoma cell lines stably overexpressing POSTN were established using a lentiviral vector, and the effects of POSTN on renal cell carcinoma cell migration and invasion were investigated. POSTN overexpression increased the migration and invasion capabilities of renal cell carcinoma cell lines as well as activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9. Integrin αvß3 and αvß5 antibodies inhibited POSTN overexpression or recombinant POSTN-induced focal adhesion kinase activation, cell migration, and invasion. Furthermore, lentivirus-mediated focal adhesion kinase knockdown and c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor reduced POSTN-enhanced phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 expressions, cell migration, and invasion. Our research thus indicates that POSTN promotes renal cell carcinoma cell migration and invasion through interaction with integrins αvß3 and αvß5 and subsequent activation of the focal adhesion kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway. These results suggest that POSTN plays a critical role in renal cell carcinoma metastasis and may represent a potential target for novel therapeutic approaches against renal cell carcinoma.

Effects of proprioceptive training on gait and plantar pressure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: People who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have an increased risk of osteoarthritis. Abnormality of lower limb kinematics will occur after the operation. This may be related to lower limb muscle strength, the co-excitation of hamstrings and quadriceps femoris, and the weakness of proprioception. Proprioceptive training can improve the proprioception of lower limbs and promote the recovery of lower limb kinematics. Our research objective is to observe whether proprioceptive training can improve the proprioception of lower limbs within 3 months after surgery and whether the recovery of proprioception can correct the abnormal lower limb kinematics. The secondary objective is to explore the underlying mechanism of postoperative lower limb gait abnormalities. METHODS/DESIGN: This study is a prospective single-center randomized clinical trial to be conducted in the Sports Medicine and Orthopedics of Zhongda Hospital Southeast University. Forty participants aged 18-50, preparing to undergo anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and initial anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring tendons as grafts will be randomly assigned to the intervention or comparator group. People in the intervention group will add proprioceptive training three times a week, 20 min each time. The intervention will be conducted on the first day after surgery. The researcher mainly collects the data of joint of sense, gait, and plantar pressure. The assessment will be divided into three stages: after signing the informed consent form (within 2 weeks before surgery), 6 weeks after surgery, and 12 weeks after surgery. DISCUSSION: The main purpose of our study is to explore whether the proprioception of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is weakened, whether the lower limb kinematics is abnormal and whether the lower limb kinematics can be corrected through proprioceptive training.

The influence of learning mode and learning sharing behavior on the synchronicity of attention of sharers and learners.

Attention is the concentration of mental activities to a certain object, and students' inattentiveness in class directly affects their learning efficiency. As an emerging technology of educational application, augmented reality (AR) technology combines virtual reality and three-dimensional reconstruction to bring multisensory stimulation to students, enhancing immersion and attention in learning. A quantitative study was conducted on third-grade pupils. Study 1 examined whether learning mode and learning sharing behavior affect the synchronization of sharers' and learners' attention. Study 2 examined the impact of learning mode and sharing role on sharer and shared. The results showed that compared with learning alone, when sharing, the attention score of AR group is higher than that of text group. Whether it is the sharer or the shared, the attention score of AR group is higher than that of text group. AR has more advantages than text in terms of learning attention. In future research, it is optional to diversify AR learning materials and further use near-infrared spectroscopy technology to study interactive learning in AR mode.

Objective:To analyze and compare the clinical indicators and the liver failure-related prognostic score of patients with amanita phalloides poisoning with different prognoses, and to explore potential prognostic indicators.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 52 patients with amanita phalloides poisoning admitted to the department of emergency of Xijing Hospital Affiliated to Air Force Medical University from September 2016 to September 2021 were collected, including general information (gender, age), clinical indicators at admission [mean arterial pressure (MAP), total bilirubin (TBil), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), albumin (ALB), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine kinase (CK), D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin activity (PTA), international normalized ratio (INR), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT)], liver failure-related prognostic score [sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), chronic liver failure (CLIF)-SOFA score, European Foundation for the Study of Chronic Liver Failure-organ failure (CLIF-C OF)], and 28-day outcome. The clinical indicators and liver failure-related prognostic scores of the patients with different prognoses were compared. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to determine the prognostic value of statistically significant indicators between different prognosis of patients with amanita poisoning.Results:A total of 45 patients were enrolled, of which 38 survived and 7 died within 28 days. The coagulation indicators including PT, APTT, INR, and liver failure-related prognostic scores including SOFA score, CLIF-SOFA score, and CLIF-C OF score in the patients of death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [PT (s): 69.59±15.94 vs. 25.99±4.64, APTT (s): 83.44±17.82 vs. 42.64±3.79, INR: 6.13±1.47 vs. 2.07±0.33, SOFA score: 11.57±1.38 vs. 6.03±0.77, CLIF-SOFA score: 9.86±2.17 vs. 5.55±0.67, CLIF-C OF score: 11.71±0.97 vs. 8.37±0.35], and PLT was significantly lowered (×10 9/L: 80.57±29.65 vs. 169.60±11.80, all P < 0.05). ROC curves showed that coagulation indicators including PT, APTT, INR, PLT, and liver failure-related prognostic scores including SOFA score and CLIF-C OF score were associated with the prognosis of patients with amanita phalloides poisoning, with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of > 0.75. The sensitivity of the clinical indicators was above 85%, and the AUC and specificity of INR were the highest, which were 0.88 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.74-1.00] and 83.0%, respectively; meanwhile, the sensitivity of the liver failure-related prognostic scores was 100%, and the AUC and specificity of the CLIF-C OF score were the highest, which were 0.86 (95% CI was 0.74-0.99) and 66.0%, respectively. Conclusion:INR and CLIF-C OF score can be used to evaluate the poor prognosis of patients with amanita phalloides poisoning.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), urine NGAL, serum cystatin C (Cys-C) and serum creatinine (Scr) for early delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant recipients. Methods Clinical data, blood and urine samples of 159 kidney transplant recipients were collected. All recipients were divided into the DGF group (n=42) and immediate graft function (IGF) group (n=117) according to the incidence of DGF. Clinical data of all recipients were analyzed. The changes of serum NGAL, urine NGAL, Cys-C and Scr levels were statistically compared between two groups. The predictive values of different markers for early DGF were assessed. Results Among 159 kidney transplant recipients, DGF occurred in 42 cases with an incidence rate of 26.4%. There were statistically significant differences in donor age, cold ischemia time of donor kidney and complement-dependent cytoxicity (CDC) between the two groups(all P < 0.05). Within postoperative 2 weeks, the serum NGAL levels in the DGF group were higher than those in the IGF group (all P < 0.05). The Cys-C, Scr and urine NGAL levels in the DGF group were higher compared with those in the IGF group within 3 weeks after kidney transplantation(all P < 0.001). Serum NGAL, urine NGAL, Cys-C and Scr levels had certain predictive values for early DGF in kidney transplant recipients. Cys-C yielded the highest predictive value with a cut-off value of 4.73 mg/L, sensitivity of 0.833, specificity of 0.812 and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.895. Conclusions Cys-C has higher predictive value for early DGF in kidney transplant recipients compared with serum NGAL, urine NGAL and Scr.

A single-center prospective study of a screening strategy for early gastric cancer under high-definition gastroscopy / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective:To study the effectiveness of a strategy for detecting early gastric cancer using high-definition gastroscopy.Methods:A total of 849 patients over 35 years old who underwent gastroscopy in the Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from December 2018 to January 2019 were enrolled to a prospective study. During gastroscopy, biopsies were taken at any suspicious lesions in patients who had never been infected with Helicobacter pylori. In ulcer-type lesions, biopsies were taken at the edge of the ulcer. Outside the atrophic area, biopsies were taken at lesions in the cardia which were reddish under white light, or lesions in the non-cardiac area which were white or showed clear borders under white light. Inside the atrophic area, biopsies were taken at elevated lesions with clear borders or irregular depressions on the top, or flat/depressed lesions with irregular borders or being ocherous under narrow band imaging. In addition, biopsies were performed on any lesion that did not meet the above standard but was considered necessary. The high-risk patients were followed up by gastroscopy to observe the detection and missed diagnosis of neoplasm that meet the above standard, and to determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value of the strategy. Results:A total of 548 patients were biopsied (781 lesions). Among the 327 lesions that met the above standard, 16 lesions (4.9%) were diagnosed as epithelial neoplasm, of which 10 (3.1%) were high-grade neoplasm. Among the 454 lesions that did not meet the standard, only 1 (0.2%) epithelial neoplasm was diagnosed, and there was no high-grade neoplasm. The positive predictive value of this screening strategy for gastric epithelial neoplasm and high-grade neoplasm was higher than those who did not meet the standard (4.9% VS 0.2%, χ2=19.49, P<0.01; 3.1% VS 0, P<0.001). There were 146 patients (17.2%, 146/849) followed up by gastroscopy. During the follow-up, 2 high-grade intramucosal neoplasms were found. 84.2% (16/19) of epithelial tumors and 83.3% (10/12) of high-grade neoplasm were detected during the initial gastroscopy. Conclusion:This screening strategy can efficiently detect early gastric cancer under high-definition gastroscopy.

Objective:To understand the application effect of traditional position and oblique supine lithotomy in percutaneous nephroscopy combined with ureteroscopy combined with double lithography, and explore the clinical nursing methods of oblique supine lithotomy.Methods:From January 2018 to January 2019 in our hospital, 82 patients with complicated calculi who underwent percutaneous nephroscopy combined with ureteroscopy and double lithoscopy were selected, and were divided into the control group ( n=40) and the observation group according to the random number table ( n=42). The control group took the lithotomy position after anesthesia, placed the ureteral stent tube and changed it to the prone position to complete the operation; the observation group placed the oblique supine lithotomy position to complete the operation after anesthesia, and there was no need to change the position during the operation. The posture time, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oxygen, blood transfusion, bleeding, postoperative postural comfort and complications of the two groups were compared. Results:When placed in the position and at the end of the operation, the blood pressure of the control group was (109±31), (106±23) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and the heart rate was (93 ±10), (95±15)times per minute; the blood pressure of the observation group was (130±19), (125±17)mmHg, the heart rate was (86±12), (85±9) times per minute, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was 2.86-4.26, P<0.01). The posture time of the observation group was (12.4±3.0) min and the control group was (21.2±6.9) min with statistically significant difference between two groups( t value was 7.550, P<0.01). The number of uncomfortable patients in the observation group after operation was 3 cases and 7 cases occurred in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 2.450, P<0.05). Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to use the oblique supine lithotomy position in double -lens combined stone removal, which can reduce the patient's discomfort and complications, and effectively improve the surgical efficiency and quality.

Endoscopic and histological characteristics of Helicobacter pylori-negative early gastric cancer / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective:To analyze the endoscopic and histological characteristics of Helicobacter pylori ( HP)-negative early gastric cancer (EGC) and high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN). Methods:Data of patients diagnosed as having EGC or HGIN confirmed by pathology at the Seventh Medical Center of Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were collected. Patients were included according to the diagnostic criteria of HP-negative gastric cancer, and their endoscopic features and histopathological characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Among 469 lesions of EGC/HGIN, HP-negative lesions accounted for 2.1% (10/469), which included 3 signet ring cell carcinomas, 3 fundic gland type carcinomas, 1 foveolar adenocarcinoma, 1 HGIN of the cardia, 1 familial adenomatous polyposis with gastric HGIN, and 1 Lynch syndrome with gastric HGIN. The 3 cases of signet ring cell carcinoma were all whitish flat/depressed lesions and commonly seen in the lower part of the stomach (2/3). Most of the 7 cases of differentiated EGC/HGIN were elevated type (5/7) and commonly seen in the upper and middle stomach (6/7). Conclusion:HP-negative EGCs are usually solitary lesions under gastroscopy. Undifferentiated type mostly appears whitish flat/depressed in the lower part of the stomach, while differentiated type appears elevated in the upper and middle part.

A screening strategy for early gastric cancer under high-definition gastroscopy / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective:To propose a strategy for detecting early gastric cancer (EGC) under high-definition gastroscopy.Methods:Data of 469 lesions of EGC or high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) confirmed by pathology detected at The Seventh Medical Center of Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were collected and gastroscopic images were re-interpreted. The Helicobacter pylori ( HP) infection status, lesion location in the area of atrophy or at the cardia, morphological type of lesions, lesions with/without clear or regular boundary, and lesion color were analyzed for morphological characteristics of EGC and HGIN under high-definition gastroscopy. Results:Among the 469 lesions of EGC or HGIN, HP-negative lesions accounted for 2.1% (10/469) and ulcerative lesions for 7.7% (36/469). Among non-ulcerative lesions of suspected HP infection ( n=423), there were 28 lesions in the cardia outside the atrophic area and 82.1% (23/28) were reddish under white light imaging. There were 29 non-cardiac lesions outside the atrophic area and 82.8% (24/29) were white or showed clear border under white light imaging. Inside the atrophic area, there were 73 elevated lesions, 95.9% (70/73) of which had clear border or irregular depression on the top. There were 293 flat/depressed lesions in the atrophic area, and 90.8% (266/293) had irregular border or were brown under narrow band imaging. Conclusion:According to the status of HP infection, the location and morphological category of lesions, above endoscopic features can be used as clues to detect EGC and HGIN.

Reference valence effects of affective s-R compatibility: are visual and auditory results consistent?

Humans may be faster to avoid negative words than to approach negative words, and faster to approach positive words than to avoid positive words. That is an example of affective stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility. The present study identified the reference valence effects of affective stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility when auditory stimulus materials are used. The researchers explored the reference valence effects of affective S-R compatibility using a mixed-design experiment based on visual words, visual pictures and audition. The study computed the average compatibility effect size. A t-test based on visual pictures showed that the compatibility effect size was significantly different from zero, t (22) = 2.43, p<.05 (M = 485 ms). Smaller compatibility effects existed when switching the presentation mode from visual stimuli to auditory stimuli. This study serves as an important reference for the auditory reference valence effects of affective S-R compatibility.

Analysis of consistency among the results of preoperative midstream urine culture, renal pelvis urine culture and renal stone culture in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy and their relationship with postoperative infection / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To evaluate the consistency among the results of preoperative midstream urine culture (PMUC), renal pelvis urine culture (RPUC) and renal stone (RSC) culture in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and their relationship with postoperative infection. Methods This was a multicenter prospective study. From September 2014 to November 2017, 115 patients undergoing standard channel PNL or microchannel PNL in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Yancheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected. The PMUC, RPUC and RSC were detected. Samples for RPUC and RSC were obtained during PNL. The clinical data, stone configuration, stone burden and results of cultures were recorded. Results In the 115 patients, PMUC positive was in 4 cases (3.5%), RPUC positive was in 17 cases (14.8%), and RSC positive was in 16 cases (13.9% ); both RPUC and RSC positive were in 7 cases (6.1% ), among whom consistent pathogenic bacterium was in 6 cases, and inconsistent pathogenic bacterium was in 1 case; all the 3 cultures were positive in 1 case, but the types of pathogenic bacterium of PMUC were totally different with RPUC and RSC. At least one positive of the 3 cultures was in 29 cases (25.2% ). The types of pathogenic bacterium of PMUC were multidrug susceptible Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , and the types of pathogenic bacterium of RPUC and RSC were multidrug resistant pathogens and/or fungus. The consistency of pathogenic bacterium between PMUC and RPUC, RSC was very low; while the consistency of pathogenic bacterium between RPUC and RSC was very high (6/7). Postoperative infection occurred in 8 of 115 patients (7.0% , 5 cases of infective fever and 3 cases of urinary sepsis). In the 8 patients, PMUC was negative, PRUC positive in 4 cases, RSC positive in 7 cases, and both PRUC and RSC positive were in 3 cases. Conclusions PMUC can not accurately reflect the true situation of upper urinary tract renal calculi and pyelo-urine pathogenic bacterium. In patients with PNL postoperative infectious complications, the result of PMUC is often negative, but the results of RPUC and RSC are mostly positive. RPUC and RSC are helpful to detecting pathogenic bacterium in time, guiding the application of sensitive antibiotics, preventing and treating PNL postoperative infection.

Hydroxychloroquine-induced depressive disorder in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus:case report and literature review / 中华全科医师杂志

Three patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) were admitted in Lanzhou University Second Hospitalbetween May 2013 and October 2017, the patients were treated with hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) for SLE. Patients had no neuropsychiatric symptoms before HCQ treatment, depressive symptoms occurred in 2 cases when the SLE was stable, and 1 case had renal function damage and depressive symptoms. The diagnosis of depression was confirmed in all 3 cases. The treatment for neuropsychiatric lupus was given but of no effect, while the symptoms disappeared after withdraw of HCQ. There is no difference in clinical manifestations between HCQ-caused depressive disorder and depression in neuropsychiatric lupus, but the treatment is different.The literature was searched from 1992 to 2018, and 4 cases of neuropsychiatric disorders caused by HCQ were reported, of which 3 were diagnosed as SLE, and 1 case was chronic Q fever. When depression appears in SLE patients receiving HCQ, HCQ would be the cause and the medication of HCQ should be withdrawn if necessary.

Objective To evaluate and compare the effectivity and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) and flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) for diameter 10 to 20 mm renal stone in obese patients. Methods This was a multicenter prospective study. One hundred and ten obese patients (body mass index≥28.0 kg/m2) with diameter 10 to 20 mm kidney stone from January 2015 to May 2017 were selected. The patients were divided into mPNL group (58 cases) and FURL group (52 cases) according to the patients′ will. The operation time, hospitalization time, complication, one-stage stone removal rate and ultimate stone removal rate were compared between 2 groups. Results The operation time, hospitalization time and incidence of complication in FURL group were significantly lower than those in mPNL group: (66.7 ± 21.9) min vs. (85.7 ± 33.4) min, (72.5 ± 23.7) h vs. (120.8 ± 33.5) h and 9.6% (5/52) vs. 31.0% (18/58), and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05). There were no statistical differences in the one-stage stone removal rate and ultimate stone removal rate between 2 groups (P＞0.05). In aspect of postoperative bleeding, hemoglobin decreased after operation (15.8 ± 9.7) g/L in mPNL group; no hemorrhage occurred in FURL group, and no significant changes in hemoglobin were observed before and after operation. Conclusions Both mPNL and FURL achieve satisfactory stone-free rates in obese patients with diameter 10 to 20 mm renal stone. Compared with mPNL, FURL has shorter operation time and lower incidence of complication.

Objective To study the effect of puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate biopsy on the detection rate of prostate cancer. Methods The clinical data of 254 prostate cancer patients who had underwent the first prostate biopsy by transrectal ultrasound guidance from September 2013 to November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into prostate cancer group and non prostate cancer group according to biopsy pathologic results. The total prostate specific antigen (TPSA), prostate volume, puncture length per needle, puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate, volume of per needle and percentage of the sampled prostate volume were compared between 2 groups, and the relationship between puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate and prostate cancer detection rate were analyzed. Results Among the 254 patients, the prostate cancer was in 67 cases (prostate cancer group), and the benign lesion was in 187 cases (non prostate cancer group). The prostate cancer detection rate was 26.4% (67/254). There were no statistical differences in age, puncture length per needle and volume of per needle between 2 groups (P＞0.05). The TPSA, puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate and percentage of the sampled prostate volume in prostate cancer group were significantly higher than those in non prostate cancer group: (13.8 ± 6.8)×103 ng/L vs. (8.5 ± 3.9)×103 ng/L, (3.42 ± 0.12) mm/cm3 vs. (2.83 ± 0.18) mm/cm3 and (2.75 ± 0.31)% vs. (2.24 ± 0.25)%, the prostate volume was significantly lower than that in non prostate cancer group: (45.8 ± 15.5) cm3vs. (56.3 ± 13.8) cm3, and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that area under the curve was 0.628, 95% CI 0.561 to 0.695. The cutoff value of puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate was 3.40 mm/cm3, with the sensitivity of 59.8% and the specificity of 64.8% . Conclusions The puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate and percentage of the sampled prostate volume are important morphometric parameters in the determination of prostate cancer. The detection rate of prostate cancer is the highest , when puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate is≥3.40 mm/cm3.

Objective To observe and analyze the application of Pareto law and PDCA principle in ICU nursing teaching. Methods Totally 133 nursing interns in ICU from October 2015 to October 2016 were chosen as the control group adopting the routine nursing teaching method; 137 nursing interns from November 2016 to November 2017 were selected as the experimental group for whom Pareto law and PDCA principle were applied in ICU nursing teaching. The post-teaching theory, skill test scores, quality of nursing documents and satisfaction with teaching were compared between the two groups. Results As for the doctor's order list, body temperature list, nursing record sheet, repairable rate of nursing document defect, the test group accounted for 0.73％ (1/137), 0, 0.73％ (1/137) and 1.46％ (2/137) respectively, while those of the control group were respectively, 5.26％ (7/133), 4.51％ (6/13), 8.27％ (11/13), and 18.05％(24/133). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.8235-39.3526, P<0.05 or <0.01)). In the experimental group, the scores of theoretical knowledge, professional operation, patient management and work attitude were as follows:(93.5±1.4), (94.9±1.1), (89.2±3.3) and (91.5±2.6);those of the control group were respectively (93.5 ± 1.4), (94.9 ± 1.1), (89.2 ± 3.3) and (91.5 ± 2.6). The difference was statistically significant (t=21.3228-26.9353, P<0.01). The satisfaction rate of the test group was 100.00％ (137/137), and that of the control group was 69.17％ (92/133). The difference was statistically significant (χ2=41.3671, P<0.01). Conclusion In ICU nursing teaching, the application of Pareto law and PDCA principle can effectively improve the test scores of theory and skill operation after nursing teaching, enhance the quality of nursing documents, improve the interest of nursing interns in learning, and raise the teaching satisfaction rate. Thus, the effect is ideal.

Diagnostic accuracy of targeted magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound fusion biopsy and systematic biopsy in the patients with prostate specific antigen in grey area / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound (MRI/US) fusion targeted biopsy (TB) and systematic biopsy (SB) in the patients with prostate specific antigen (PSA) in grey area.Methods The patients who received MRI/US fusion TB and SB in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between October 2015 and March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.Eligibility criteria included:tPSA ranged 4 to 10 ng/ml;prebiopsy MRI found at least 1 suspected lesion;no prostate-related treatment history;no prostate biopsy history.A total of 93 patients were invloved.The median age,tPSA and prostate volume were 66 (30-85) years,7.18 (4.11-9.95) ng/ml and 42.01 (14.93-119.15) ml,respectively.Prebiopsy MRI found 136 suspected lesions,with the median PI-RADS of 3 (3-5) and lesion size of 7 (3-20) mm.All patients underwent MRI/US fusion TB followed by SB.The comparison of two protocols in detecting any prostate cancer (PCa) as well as clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa) were analyzed.Results Cancer detection rates for PCa in TB [34.40％ (32/93)] was not different with SB [36.55％ (34/93),P =0.759].There was no significant difference in the detection rate of CsPCa between TB and SB [20.43％ (19/93) vs.24.73％ (23/93),P=0.483].A total of 1 374 biopsy cores were sampled,among which 266 were TB cores and additional 1108 were SB cores.The positive rate of TB cores [24.81％ (66/266)] was significantly higher than SB cores [9.84％ (109/1 108),P ＜0.001].Conclusions In the patients with PSA in grey area,MRI/US fusion TB achieved similar cancer detection rate compared with SB using only few biopsy cores.Therefore,TB was appropriate for patients with MRI suspicions.Moreover,combination of TB with SB can achieve the highest cancer detection rate.

Study on the relationship between anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-35 and delayed renal graft function / 器官移植

Objective To investigate the relationship between the interleukin (IL)-35 and the recovery of renal graft function. Methods Clinical data of 45 recipients receiving renal transplantation from donation after cardiac death (DCD) were retrospectively analyzed. According to the presence of delayed graft function (DGF) after renal transplantation, all recipients were divided into the immediate graft function (IGF) group (n=32) and DGF group (n=13). The serum creatinine (Scr) level and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the recipients were statistically compared between two groups at 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28 d and 3, 6 and 12 months after renal transplantation. The IL-35 levels in the serum and urine samples of the recipients were statistically compared between two groups at 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28 d following renal transplantation. Results In the DGF group, the renal function was restored slowly. Compared with the IGF group, the Scr level was significantly higher, whereas the eGFR was considerably lower in the DGF group at postoperative 7 d (both P<0.05). At 1 year after surgery, there was no significant difference in the Scr level between two groups. Compared with the IGF group, the eGFR in the DGF group was significantly lower at postoperative 1 year (P<0.05). At 1, 2, 3, 7, 14 d after operation, the serum levels of IL-35 in the DGF group were evidently lower than those in the IGF group (all P<0.05). Compared with the IGF group, the serum level of IL-35 in the DGF group was significantly increased at postoperative 28 d (P<0.05). At postoperative 1, 2, 3, 7 d, the IL-35 levels in the urine samples in the DGF group were significantly lower than those in the IGF group (all P<0.05). At postoperative 14 and 28 d, the IL-35 levels in the urine samples did not significantly differ between two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusions The low levels of IL-35 in the serum and urine of recipients after renal transplantation are associated with the incidence of DGF to certain extent, prompting that excessively weak systemic and local anti-inflammatory responses early after renal transplantation and uncontrolled excessive inflammatory response are probably the pivotal causes of DGF.

Application of double-pouch anastomosis in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer assisted by small incision / 中华胃肠外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility, safety and the economical efficiency of double-pouch anastomosis in laparoscopic radical rectal cancer assisted by small incisions.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 224 patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery at Taizhou People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province from January 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Indusion criteria: patients were diagnosed as primary rectal adenocarcinoma by preoperative enteroscopy pathology, the distance of the tumor to anal margin was from 4 to 15 cm, and patients were treated with laparoscopic total mesorectal excision(TME) through small incision. Patients were divided into two groups according to different anastomosis method, double-pouch group(108 cases) and single-pouch group (116 cases). The surgical indexes, tumor safety indexes, short-term efficacy and economic indexes were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#There was no significant difference between two groups in baseline data, operative time, blood loss, number of lymph nodes dissection, average length of proximal and distal bowel, or incidence of urination and sexual dysfunction (all P>0.05). Compared with the single-pouch group, the double-pouch group presented lower anastomotic secondary bleeding rate [0.9%(1/108) vs. 6.0% (7/116), χ²=4.238, P=0.040], lower incidence of anastomotic leakage[1.9%(2/108) vs. 7.8%(9/116), χ²=4.179, P=0.041], lower incidence of anastomotic stricture [1.9% (2/108) vs. 8.6% (10/116), χ²=5.054, P=0.025], shorter hospital stay [(13.4±3.9) days vs. (15.9±9.8) days, t=2.524, P=0.013] and less average hospitalization costs [(34 000±7 000) yuan vs. (46 000±23 000) yuan, t=5.047,P0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Laparoscopic TME assisted by small incision with double-pouch anastomosis is a safe, feasible and economical method.

Clinical significance of colonoscopy follow-up for colorectal cancer in Chinese Lynch syndrome mismatch repair gene mutation carriers / 中华消化杂志

Objective To explore the clinical significance of colonoscopy follow-up in Chinese Lynch syndrome mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutation carriers.Methods The results of colonoscopy follow-up was analyzed in 194 MMR gene mutation carriers of 50 Lynch syndrome families.The follow-up period was from April 2001 to November 2016.The detection rates of advanced adenomas and colorectal cancers,five-year survival rate and ten year survival rate were compared between 123 patients of regular follow-up group (colonoscopy interval less than two years) and 71 patients of irregular follow-up group (time colonoscopy interval more than two years).T test,chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier method were performed for statistically analysis.Results The incidence of colorectal cancer of irregular follow up group was significantly higher than that of regular follow-up group (57.7％,41/71 vs 22.8％,28/123);and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =24.00,P＜0.01).The average age at diagnosis for colorectal cancer in irregular follow up group was younger than that of regular follow up group ((45.3 ± 1.9) years vs (48.7±1.8) years);and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.10,P＜0.01).In regular follow-up group,28.6％ (8/28) advanced-stage colorectal cancer (TNM Ⅲ or Ⅳ) was found,while in irregular follow up group,73.2 ％ (30/41) advanced-stage colorectal cancer was found,and there was statistically significant difference in pathological stage between two groups (x2 =4.90,P =0.032).The five year and ten-year survival rates of regular follow-up group were 96.2 ％ and 85.1 ％,respectively,which were both higher than those of irregular follow-up group (46.3 ％ and 28.7 ％);and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =13.20 and 14.80,both P＜0.05).The incidence of advanced adenomas of irregular follow up group was significantly higher than that of regular follow-up group (49.3％,35/71 vs 18.7％,23/123);and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =20.10,P＜0.05).The detection rate of advanced adenomas of MMR gene mutation carriers was higher than those without MMR mutation gene (85.4％,35/41 vs 14.6％,6/41);and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.20,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Regular colonoscopy surveillance may decrease the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in MMR mutation carriers of Lynch syndrome families,and increase five-year and tenyear survival rates.

Protective effect of caffeine citrate on neonatal rat brain white matter damage induced by infection / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To investigate the protective effect of caffeine citrate on white matter damage in 2-day-old neonatal rats induced by postnatal infection.Methods Forty-eight 2-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into the control group (group A,n =16),lipopolysaccharide(LPS) infection group (group B,n =16),and caffeine citrate intervention group (group C,n =16) according to the random table method.The newborn rats of group B and C were continuously injected LPS 0.6 mg/kg intraperitoneally for 5 days from 2 days old,and the newborn rats of group A were continuously injected by an equal volume of 9 g/L saline intraperitoneally.Group C was continuously injected by caffeine citrate 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally for 7 days from 4 days old;equal volume of 9 g/L saline was injected into group A and B for 7 days continuously.At 12 days old,8 rats of each group were sacrificed randomly to evaluate the expression of myelin basic protein(MBP) subcortical white matter by immunohistochemical method.Both sides of hippocampus of the rest 8 rats of each group were taken out in ice surface rapidly.The left hippocampus was used to detect the expression of MBP and Caspase-3 by Western blot method,and the right hippocampus was used to evaluate the MBP and Caspase-3 protein level by quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR) method.Results The mean integral optical density (IOD) of subcortical MBP positive expression in group A,group B and group C were 132.64 ± 1.94,102.43 ± 2.12,114.25 ± 2.04,and the difference was statistically significant among 3 groups (F =22.912,P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression levels of MBP mRNA of 3 groups in hippocampus were 0.79 ± 0.01,0.39 ± 0.03,0.55 ± 0.02,and the difference was statistically significant among 3 groups (F =18.584,P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression levels of MBP protein of 3 groups in hippocampus were 0.64 ± 0.03,0.31 ± 0.03,0.51 ± 0.05,and the difference was statistically significant among 3 groups (F =25.780,P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression levels of Caspase-3 mRNA of 3 groups in hippocampus were 0.34 ± 0.02,0.74 ± 0.03,0.57 ± 0.04,and the difference was statistically significant among 3 groups (F =6.105,P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression of Caspase-3 protein of 3 groups in hippocampus were 0.11 ± 0.03,0.36 ± 0.02,0.23 ± 0.03,and the difference was statistically significant among 3 groups (F =40.541,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Caffeine citrate has showed protective effect on white matter damage in neonatal rats of 2 days old induced by postnatal infection.The mechanism may be related to inhibition of inflammatory response and reducing apoptosis.
