ObjectiveTo explore the value of CT virtual endoscopy in the treatment strategies in low rectal cancer surgery.MethodsFifty- seven cases of rectal cancer in Jining First Hospital were collected,preoperative rectum CT virtual endoscopy,detailed records of patients with rectal invasion and the circumstances surrounding lymph nodes were investigated.Differences were compared in patients after routine pathological examination.And the distance of the tumor from the anal margin was compared with the preoperative rectum on rectal examination and rectal CT virtual endoscopy.ResultsPreoperative rectum CT virtual endoscopy had no significant difference in evaluation of metastases of the surrounding lymph nodes.Compared with postoperative pathological examination( x2 =2.5,P > 0.05 ),while had significant difference in evaluation in perirectal infiltration( x2 =4.44,P < 0.05 ).Rectal examination and rectum CT virtual endoscopy had no significant difference judgement of the tumor from the anal margin ( P > 0.05 ).ConclusionsCT virtual endoscopy has a great significance in the preoperative evaluation of rectal cancer surgical treatment strategies,which should be further studied.

Objective To synthesize poly asparagine derivatives and to evaluate its safety at the cellular level, which provide research platform for its potential application as drug carrier. Methods Polysuccinimide was synthesized by ther?mal polymerization of L-polyaspartic acid, and the target product of PSI-Phe-EA was obtained by the ring-opening reaction of polysuccinimide using L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride and ethanol amine. The structure of PSI-Phe-EA were characterized by 1H NMR. The rate of ring-opening of PSI was calculated by internal standard method of 1H NMR. The change of hydrophilicity was studied by the comparison of solubility. The cytotoxicity and morphology modification by PSI-Phe-EA at designate concentrations was investigated by MTT method and inverted microscopy respectively. The effects on cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry after propidium iodide (PI) staining. Results 1H NMR results confirmed the structure of PSI-Phe-EA and the ring-openning rate of PSI was 40%. The hydrophilicity of PSI-Phe-EA was greatly in?creased upon ring opening using ethanol amine. MTT test showed that the cell survival rates of NIH 3T3 and HepG2 cells were higher than 80%under the examined concentration (<100 mg/L). Inverted microscopy showed that 50 mg/L of PSI-Phe-EA treatment had no adverse effects on cell morphology. Cell cycle analysis indicated that PSI-Phe-EA treatment had no in?fluence on cell cycles of NIH 3T3 and HepG2 cell lines. Conclusion PSI-Phe-EA showed high hydrophilicity without sig?nificant effects on the cells survival, cells morphology and cell cycles. It is a kind of safe polymer material.

Objective:To analyze the clinico pathological features, differential diagnosis and prognosis of metastatic renal cell carcinomas.Methods:The clinical data, histology, immunophenotype and follow-up data of 196 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma diagnosed from 1994 to 2017 at the Department of Pathology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Military Medical University, Shanghai, China were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 142 males and 54 females, with a median age of 61 years. The top three metastatic sites for the 196 cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma were lung (31.1%, 61/196), bone (29.1%, 57/196) and digestive system (19.4%, 38/196). Among the pathological subtypes of metastasis, the proportion of clear cell renal cell carcinoma was 94.4% (185/196) and that of type II papillary renal cell carcinoma was 3.6% (7/196). The TFE3 translocated renal cell carcinoma and congestive tubular carcinoma were rare, with 3 cases and 1 case, respectively. CK, vimentin, CAⅨ and CD10 were expressed in all metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinomas. CK7, CD10 and P504s were expressed in papillary renal cell carcinomas. TFE3 was expressed in TFE3 translocated renal cell carcinoma. The collecting duct carcinoma was positive for HCK.Conclusions:Lung metastasis and bone metastasis are still the most frequent metastatic sites of renal cell carcinoma. Five years after primary lesion resection may be the high risk time for metastasis. Most of the metastases are solitary when they are first identified. To better diagnose and identify the renal origin of a metastatic renal cell carcinoma, one should consider morphological characteristics, clinical history information of the metastasis and the combined immunohistochemistry of CK, vimentin, CD10, CK7, TFE3, PAX2 and PAX8.

Objective:To clarify the effects of bortezomib combined with or without siramesine on the proliferation of multiple myeloma cell lines, the expression changes of transcription factor EBC (TFEB) nuclear translocation and the level of autophagy, and to provide basis for further exploring the regulation mechanism of transcription factor TFEB on autophagy.Methods:The multiple myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 were cultured in vitro, and the multiple myeloma cells were treated with a certain concentration of bortezomib and siramesine. The changes of cell proliferation inhibition were detected by CCK-8 method. Real time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the relative expression of TFEB, autophagy-related factor LC3B, Beclin1, p62, LAMP1 mRNA and protein.Results:As the concentration of bortezomib increased and the duration of action increased, the proliferation inhibition rates of the two cell lines gradually increased ( P<0.05) . The combination of the two drugs has a synergistic inhibitory effect on the proliferation of the above-mentioned multiple myeloma cell lines ( P<0.05) . In the blank control group, single drug group, and combination drug group, the relative expression of TFEB mRNA and protein in the cytoplasm decreased sequentially ( P<0.05) , and the relative expression of TFEB mRNA and protein in the nucleus increased sequentially ( P<0.05) . The relative expression of autophagy-related factors LC3B, Beclin1, LAMP1 mRNA and protein increased sequentially, and the relative expression of p62 mRNA and protein decreased sequentially ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Bortezomib and siramesine can synergistically inhibit the growth of multiple myeloma cells, which is related to the increased autophagy expression in multiple myeloma cell lines and the expression of TFEB with nuclear translocation is also enhanced.

BackgroundThe major depressive disorder has high prevalence among adolescents, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors frequently occur among patients, therefore, major depressive disorder in adolescents has become the researching focus. ObjectiveTo explore the effect of mentalization-based family therapy (MBFT) on depressive symptoms and NSSI behavior in adolescents with major depressive disorder, and to provide references for the rehabilitation of major depressive disorder in adolescents. MethodsA total of 90 adolescent patients with major depression disorder who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) for depressive disorders and attended Wuhan Mental Health Center from January to December 2022 were selected, and were assigned into study group (n=44) and control group (n=46) using random number table method. All participants received routine intervention, based on this, study group added a 60-minute MBFT intervention once a week for 8 weeks. Before the intervention and at the end of 1st, 2nd,4th and 8th week,the two groups were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Ottawa Self-injury Inventory (OSI). ResultsThe repeated measures analysis of variance reported a statistical main effect of time, main effect of group, and interaction effect between time and group at the baseline and the end of 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th week of treatment in HAMD-24 score (F=69.621, 15.428, 29.623, P˂0.05), OSI score (F=176.642, 37.682, 21.873, P˂0.05), GSES score (F=215.236, 57.421, 27.857, P˂0.05) and PSQI score (F=268.541, 61.863, 33.867, P˂0.05). Individual effect analysis discovered a statistical difference between study group and control group at the end of 2nd, 4th and 8th week of treatment in HAMD-24 score (t=5.567, 8.645, 6.233, P˂0.01), OSI score (t=3.675, 11.817, 9.632, P˂0.01), GSES score (t=23.462, 31.709, 12.750, P˂0.01) and PSQI score (t=9.664, 22.457, 9.333, P˂0.01). ConclusionMBFT may improve depressive symptoms, NSSI behavior, sleep quality and self-efficacy in adolescents with major depressive disorder.
