Objective To investigate the antitumor and immunologic activities of Laurencia extract(LET) in Sarcoma 180(S 180).Methods The content of total terpenoids in LET was detected by RP-HPLC and its toxicity(LD 50) was estimated by Horn assay. Tumor inhibition rates, index of thymus and spleen, proliferation of spleen lymph cells, IgA,IgG,IgM were detected. The data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results The content of total terpenoids in LET was proved to be 63.29%. LET showed low toxicity with its LD 50 more than 3160mg?kg -1. Tumor inhibition rates of test groups were significantly higher than those of the control group. LET could obviously increase the levels of index of thymus and spleen. LET increase the multiplication of spleen lymph cell.Concentrations of IgA、IgG and IgM in plasma of the test groups were higher than those of the control group. Conclusion LET rich in terpenoids is safety to be taken orally. The alga extract showed obvious antitumor activities and immunologic functions.

Objective:To explore the mRNA differential expression and clinical effect of leptin in different kinds of ovarian cancer.Methods: 129 patients with ovarian cancer and 42 controls were collected from Jun.2015 to Jun.2016 in our hospital.We got a small tissue by ovarian biopsy guided under the ultrasonic processing,detected the total RNA,purified mRNA and analyzed the correlation of the expression of leptin in different kinds and clinical stages of ovarian cancer.Results: Compared with the control groups,the mRNA expression of leptin in each group was increased(P<0.05),and the serous adenocarcinoma group increased obviously(P<0.05).Patients with clinical stage FIGO Ⅲ was significantly higher than other stages in serous adenocarcinoma group(P<0.05).Conclusion: Leptin could express in different kinds and clinical stages of ovarian cancer,and may be a new detection index for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Laurencia terpenoid extract (LET) on tumor inhibition,immune modulation and apoptosis of Sarcoma 180 cell. Method:The LD50 of LET was estimated by Horn assay. The models of S180-bearing mice were established and divided into 4 groups which were given LET 0 (control group), 25 (low-dose group), 50 (mid-dose group), 100 (high-dose group) mg/kg bw respectively for 10 d. Tumor inhibition rates were detected in treatment groups and control group respectively. To weigh exactly the thymus and spleen to calculate their indices. The proliferation effect of LET on spleen lymphocyte was evaluated by MTT assay. The apoptosis of tumor cell was assayed by flow cytometry. Results:The LD50 was more than 3 160 mg/kg bw. LET had low toxicity. The average tumor weights of the supplemented groups were all less than the control group(P

Objective To investigate the risk factors of pancreatic cancer in Wenzhou area.Methods A case control study was conducted on 220 cases with pancreatic cancer and 220 matched controls using conditional logistic regression analysis.Results Univariate analysis showed BMI ＞ 30 kg/m2,smoking,reproductive history,diabetes,cholecystitis,chronic pancreatitis,history of appendectomy,history of partial gastrectomy,history of cancer and familial history of cancer were associated with pancreatic cancer,while multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of pancreatic cancer included smoking (OR =3.624,95％ CI i.474 ～ 8.907),BMI ＞ 30 kg/m2 (OR =1.789,95％ CI 1.030 ～ 3.108),diabetes (OR =3.191,95％ CI 1.094 ～ 9.309),chronic pancreatitis (OR =4.972,95％ CI 1.593 ～ 14.898),and cholecystitis (OR =2.289,95 ％ CI 1.024 ～5.116).Conclusions BMI ＞ 30 kg/m2,smoking and diabetes are risk factors for pancreatic cancer in Wenzhou area.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) in children with thalassemia major (TM) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study.A total of 482 children with TM who underwent allo-HSCT at Shenzhen Children′s Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were selected and classified into the PTLD and non-PTLD groups according to the occurrence of PTLD.The risk factors for PTLD after allo-HSCT in children with TM were analyzed, and the diagnostic efficiency of relevant risk factors for PTLD was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 25 out of 482 patients (5.2%, 25/482) developed PTLD about 114 (54-271) days after allo-HSCT.Among them, 12 cases (12/25, 48.0%) occurred within 100 days, and 22 cases (22/25, 88.0%) occurred within 1 year after allo-HSCT.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in gender composition, type of transplant donor, number of natural killer cells and B lymphocytes in peripheral blood at 30 days after allo-HSCT, positive rate of plasma Epstein-Barr virus deoxyribonucleic acid (EBV-DNA) and incidence rate of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) between the 2 groups (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female ( OR=3.196, 95% CI: 1.144-8.929), positive plasma EBV-DNA ( OR=17.523, 95% CI: 5.449-56.344) and aGVHD ( OR=3.156, 95% CI: 1.161-8.575) were independent risk factors for PTLD after allo-HSCT in TM children (all P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis showed that positive plasma EBV-DNA had an excellent accuracy in predicting the occurrence of PTLD after allo-HSCT (sensitivity was 0.796, specificity was 0.800, area under the curve was 0.803).If combined with aGVHD and gender, the area under the curve for the prediction of PTLD increased to 0.831. Conclusions:Female, positive plasma EBV-DNA and aGVHD are independent risk factors for PTLD after allo-HSCT in children with TM.It provides useful early warnings for the prediction and prevention of PTLD.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of 18F-Alfatide II PET/CT imaging in normal breasts and breast cancer lesions.Methods From March 2016 to August 2017,22 female patients(age:(52±10)years)with suspected breast malignant nodules or masses were prospectively enrolled.All patients underwent 18F-Alfatide II PET/CT imaging prior to biopsy or surgery.The imaging characteristics of normal breasts were assessed visually and the difference of maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax)in normal breasts and uterus between patients with and without menopause was compared,SUVmax of cancer lesions and normal breasts was also compared.Breast cancer lesions were classified according to the distribution characteristics of radioactive uptake,and molecular subtypes ware determined by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization.The SUVmax of different morphological and molecular subtypes were analyzed.Two-sample t test and Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.Results There were 23 breast cancer lesions(one patient had bilateral breast cancer lesions and one had a history of one-side breast resection),20 normal breasts and 21 normal uteruses.Those normal breasts and uteruses didn't show any malignant change after being followed up for more than 1 year(one patient had uterine fibroids resection).There was a slight increase of radioactivity uptake in the cord-like connective tissue region at the margin of the gland in 11 mammary glands,and the SUVmax was higher than that of glandular tissue in the central region(1_81±0.67 vs 0.79±0.37;t = 6.771,P<0.00l).Of the 11 cases,except for one patient whose uterus was removed,the other 10 patients were accompanied by increased diffuse radioactivity of the uterus.SUVmax of 19 normal breast connective tissues(1.31±0.80)and uterus(3.80+1.79)were positively correlated(r = 0.785,P<0.05).For patients with/without menopause(n= 11 each group),the SUVmax of normal breast connective tissues(0.72±0.39 vs 1.81±0.67)and uterus(2.04±0.39 vs 5.11 + 1.06)were significantly different(t values:4.42 and 8.66,both P<0.01).Different levels of radioactive uptake were observed in all 23 breast cancer lesions,with SUVmax of 6.93±3.97,which was significantly higher than the nipple,connective tissue and glandular tissue of normal breasts(t values:6.784-7.559,all P<0.05).According to the characteristics of the radioactivity uptake distribution of the lesion,among the 23 breast cancer lesions,5 were mass type,3 were nodular type,4 were diffuse type,and 11 were multi-focal/multi-center type,and the SUVmax of multi-focal/multi-center type was the highest(F=3.55,P<0.05).The SUVmax of basal-like breast cancer lesions(2.49±1.67)was lower than the other three molecular subtypes.Lesions with high level human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)positive expression had higher SUVmax.Conclusions 18F-Alfatide II PET/CT imaging shows that normal breasts have a slight radioactive distribution,mainly concentrate in the nipple and connective tissues around the glandular,and the uptake have a positive correlation with the radioactive uptake of the uterus.The degree of radioactive uptake of breast cancer lesions is significantly higher than that of normal breasts.Breast cancer lesions with different moqjhological features all have obvious radioactive uptake,especially the multi-focal/multi-center type.Different molecular subtypes have different radioactive uptake levels.SUVmax is lower in basal-like breast cancer lesions,and higher in HER2 positive expression lesions.

Objective:To investigate the safety and the efficacy of percutaneous and surgical approach in femoro-femoral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) cannulation.Methods:All consecutive patients implanted with femoro-femoral VA-ECMO between January 2018 and December 2020 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University. Propensity score matching was used to compare outcomes of percutaneous and surgical groups while controlling for confounders.Results:Among the 276 patients who received femoro-femoral VA-ECMO (62 surgical and 214 percutaneous), propensity-score matching selected 52 pairs of patients with similar characteristics with mean age of(59.6±13.0)years old, in which 26 patients were female. There were a lower ECMO cannulation-associated complication (28.8% vs. 48.1%, P=0.044) and a lower hospital mortality (42.3% vs. 67.3%, P=0.010) in the percutaneous group. The circuit blood flow after ECMO initiation was similar in both groups[(3.3±0.8)L·min -1·kg -1 in percutaneous group vs. (3.2±0.7)L·min -1·kg -1 in surgical group, P=0.738]. The serum lactate was declined in both group after ECMO initiation[(5.4±5.8)mmol/L vs. (9.2±6.9)mmol/L, P<0.001 in percutaneous group; (6.3±6.2)mmol/L vs. (10.5±7.0)mmol/L, P=0.003 in surgical group]. Conclusion:Percutaneous approach is a safe and efficient technique in emoro-femoral VA-ECMO cannulation. Compared with surgical cannulation, percutaneous approach is associated with lower ECMO cannulation-associated complication and lower hospital mortality.
