Purpose Based on the WHO(5th edition)classification of cervical adenocarcinoma and Silva infiltra-tion pattern classification,this study explores the value of etiological classification and Silva classification in the clinical treatment and prognosis prediction of cervical adenocarcinoma.Methods The clinical and pathological features of 112 cases of cervical invasive adenocarcinoma were reviewed.Through HE morphological classification,immunohistochemi-cal detection,and Silva classification of infiltration pattern,the related factors and prognosis of patients were statistical-ly analyzed.Results The median age of 112 patients was 46.5 years(30-80 years),with a maximum tumor diame-ter of 0.35-9.0 cm and an average diameter of 3.2 cm.Most patients showed vaginal bleeding after sexual inter-course.89 cases were HPV-associated adenocarcinoma(HPVAs),18 cases were non HPV-associated adenocarcinoma(NHPVAs).There were 5 cases of other types of adenocarcinomas of the uterine cervix,including 4 cases of endome-trial adenocarcinoma and 1 case of serous adenocarcinoma.There were 5 cases(4.5％)of Silva A pattern,30 cases(26.8％)of Silva B pattern,and 77 cases(68.7％)of Silva C pattern.112 cases were followed up for a median time of 34 months(15-78 months),with 16 deaths and 20 metastases.The progression-free survival(PFS)(P＜0.001)and overall survival(OS)(P=0.001)in the NHPVA group were significantly lower than those in the HPVA group.All cases with Silva A and Silva B pattern had a favorable prognosis and survived without tumor.Of the cases with Silva C pattern,16 died after recurrence.The PFS and OS of patients with Silva C type were lower than those of Silva A type and B type(P＜0.05).Conclusion The fifth edition of WHO classification of cervical adenocarcinoma revealed the correlation between etiology and morphology.Silva classification is of great significance for accurately predicting progno-sis and guiding treatment.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of bendamustine combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody in the first-line treatment of older patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-iNHL) .Methods:The clinical data of 159 patients with B-iNHL enrolled in 16 hospitals from Jiangsu Cooperative Lymphoma Group from December 1, 2019, to April 20, 2024, were analyzed for regimen efficacy and safety. Bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) and bendamustine plus obinutuzumab (BG) were administered to 139 (87.4% ) and 20 (12.6% ) patients, respectively.Results:Among the 159 patients, 101 (63.5% ) were male and 58 (36.5% ) were female, with a median age of 69 years (range: 60–84). Efficacy could be assessed in 138 (86.8% ) patients. The efficacy assessment demonstrated that the overall response rate was 92.0% with complete and partial remissions in 75 (54.3% ) and 52 (37.7% ) cases, respectively. With a median follow-up of 24 months (range: 4–64), the progression-free survival rate was (87.5 ± 3.0) % and the overall survival rate was (83.2 ± 3.3) %. Of the 27 patients who died, 6 (22.2% ) died due to disease progression. The mean applied dose of bendamustine per cycle was 73.0 (50.8–89.7) mg/m 2 per day, administered on days 1 and 2. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported in 53 (33.3% ) patients, with infection (30 cases,18.9% ) and neutropenia (24 cases, 15.1% ) demonstrating the highest incidence. Conclusion:Bendamustine combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody demonstrated good efficacy and is well-tolerated in the first-line treatment of elderly patients with B-iNHL.

Objective:To investigate the accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis of non-primary solid malignant tumors in breast needle core biopsy.Methods:Twenty-three cases of breast, axilla or neck lymph nodes pathologically diagnosed as non-primary solid malignant tumors were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China from January 2013 to March 2023. The differential diagnoses and diagnostic features were analyzed, based on combining clinical data, histology, and expression characteristics of biomarkers.Results:All patients were female, with age ranging from 29 to 75 years (average 56 years). The average time from the diagnosis of primary tumor to the current diagnosis was 21 months (0 to 204 months).The primary sites included the ovary (9 cases), the lung (5 cases), the gastrointestinal tract (4 cases), the pancreas, intrahepatic bile duct, thyroid gland, nasal cavity and forearm skin (1 case each). No carcinoma in situ was found in any of the cases. The morphological differences were significant among the tumors, but similar to the primary tumors. The tumors of neuroendocrine and female reproductive tract had great morphological and immunophenotypic overlaps with breast cancer. Metastatic lung cancer cells showed obvious atypia and tumor giant cells. The morphology and immunophenotype of metastatic serous carcinoma of female reproductive system might resemble invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast. Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract often had features of mucous secretion. Metastatic neuroendocrine tumors were bland in appearance and morphologically similar to solid papillary carcinoma of breast, but negative for ER. TRPS1 was mostly negative (18/23) and variably positive in ovarian (4/9) and intrahepatic bile duct (1/1) tumors.Conclusions:The diagnosis of breast needle core biopsy specimen should be combined with clinical history, imaging study, and careful examination of histological features, such as presence of in situ component, morphological similarity between the primary and metastatic tumors, and using appropriate markers to differentiate the primary from metastatic tumors.

Objective:To investigate the expression of RASAL3 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and the mechanism of promoting iCCA development.Methods:Tumor and paracancerous tissues were collected from 185 iCCA patients, the expression of RASAL3 was detected by immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR and Western blot. The expression of RASAL3 and FXYD6 mRNA and protein in human cholangiocarcinoma cell line and human bile duct epithelial cells were detected with RT-qPCR and Western blot, the cell proliferation was detected with CCK-8 assay, and the activity of Na +-K +-ATPase was also detected. Results:RASAL3 was highly expressed in cholangiocarcinoma tissues and cell lines; Survival analysis showed that RASAL3 overexpression was associated with poor prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma( P<0.05) and knockdown of RASAL3 inhibits the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells; Silencing RASAL3 decreases the expression of FXYD6 inhibiting the activity of Na +-K +-ATPase. Conclusion:RASAL3 is up-regulated in human cholangiocarcinoma, which can promote the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinoma by activating FXYD6 and affecting Na +-K +-ATPase activity.

OBJECTIVE：To compare the che mical composition differences of raw and fried processed Glycyrrhiza uralensis ， and provide reference for clarifying the regularity of chemical composition change before and after processing and material basis of differential use of raw and fried G. uralensis . METHODS ：UPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology was used to detect the composition of raw and fried G. uralensis . By comparing the retention time ，relative molecular weight and other information of the compounds with the databases such as METLIN ，Agilent MassHunter PCDL Manager off-line component identification workstation and references ，the chemical compositions of the compounds were preliminarily identified. Principal component analysis （PCA）method was used to observe the overall distribution trend of samples. Orthogonal partial least square （OPLS-DA）method was used to screen differential compounds [VIP ＞1.0 and | P（corr）|≥0.5 as criteria] and analyze the content changes of differential compounds. RESULTS ：A total of 31 common compounds were preliminarily identified from the raw and fried G. uralensis . PCA analysis showed that raw and fried G. uralensis could be separated well. OPLS-DA analysis result showed that 15 characteristic differential compounds were screened out from raw and fried G. uralensis ，including 13 flavonoids and 2 coumarins；the contents of 8 flavonoids compounds such as licoflavone A ，glycyrrhizin and glabridin and so on in G. uralensis were significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， while the contents of 5 flavonoids components such as glycyrrhizinol ，glycyrin A and 2 coumarins components such as 2′-4′-trihydroxy-5-methoxy-3-coumarim and hedysarimcoumestan B were significantly decreased （P＜0.05） after honey-fried processing. CONCLUSIONS ：Before and after processing ，there are obvious differences between some flavonoids and coumarins ， which may be the main material basis for differential use of raw and honey-fried G. uralensis .

Objective To explore the relationship between the stimulated thyroglobulin ( sTg) and site, number and diameter of metastatic lesions in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) before the first 131 I treatment, and to evaluate the predictive value of sTg for different metastatic sites. Methods A total of 567 DTC patients (179 males, 388 females; age: (45.3±12.3) years) who received the first 131Ⅰ treatment between January 2012 and June 2017 were included. Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), sTg and thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH) were determined within 1 week before 131 I treatment. Metastases were detected by ultrasonography, CT or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG ) PET/CT, 131 I whole-body scan, SPECT/CT imaging and pathology. sTg levels of patients with different metastatic sites and different metasta-sis numbers or lesion diameters were compared ( Kruskal-Wallis H test) . Spearman correlation analysis was performed on the number, diameter and sTg level of metastases. The receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve was used to explore the predictive value of sTg before the first 131 I treatment for DTC metasta-sis. Results The median values of sTg in the bone, lung, lymph node metastases groups and non-metasta-sis group were 500.00, 104.40, 27.45, 2.39μg/L, respectively, and there were significant differences, ex-cept for bone and lung metastases groups ( H range: -294.605 to 175.162, all P<0.05) . The sTg levels of lung metastasis group and lymph node metastasis group were both decreased by the order of metastasis num- bers (≥3, =2, =1;H range:-57.887 to 48.763, all P<0.05) . As to the diameter of metastases, the sTg levels of >2.0 cm, 1.1-2.0 cm, and≤1.0 cm subgroups in the lung metastasis group and lymph node me-tastasis group were also decreased in order ( H range: -69.935 to 61.043, all P<0.05) . Spearman correla-tion analysis showed that the number ( rs=0.568, 0.606) and diameter ( rs=0.806, 0.664) of the metasta-ses in the lung and lymph node metastases group were positively correlated with sTg (all P<0.05). Areas under ROC curves for sTg to predict bone, lung and lymph node metastasis were 0.935, 0.843 and 0.791 re-spectively. The threshold values were 197. 65, 23. 21 and 10. 96 μg/L respectively. The sensitivities and the specificities were 91.70％, 79.60％, 67.20％ and 97.20％, 80.80％, 82.70％ respectively. Conclusions Tg level before the first 131 I treatment has a certain predictive value for the metastasis, metastatic site and num-ber or diameter in DTC patients.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of perioperative complications of laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy and influence of body shape on the short-term therapeutic effects.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 506 patients (328 males and 178 females,average age 60 years with the range of 24-85 years) who underwent laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy+D2 lymph nodes dissection in the 8 clinical centers between March 2016 and November 2018 were collected,including 143 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University,66 in the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University,66 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University,64 in the Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University,54 in the Affiliated Hangzhou First people's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine,48 in the Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University,35 in the Affiliated Quanzhou First Hospital of Fujian Medical University,30 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College.The maximum thickness of subcutaneous fat at the level of umbilicus (USCF),the maximum vertical distance between the anterior abdominal skin and the back skin at the level of the umbilicus (UAPD),the maximum horizontal distance between the anterior abdominal skin and the back skin at the level of the umbilicus (UTD),the maximum verticaldistance between the anterior abdominal skin and the back skin at the level of the xiphoid bone (XAPD),the maximum horizontal distance between the.anterior abdominal skin and the back skin at the level of the xiphoid bone (XTD),the distance between the anterior abdominal skin and the root of celiac artery (CAD) and the maximum horizontal distance at a right angle to CAD (CATD) were measured using preoperative imaging examinations.Observation indicators:(1) intraoperative and postoperative situations;(2) follow-up situations;(3) risk factors analysis of perioperative complications;(4) influence of body shape related indexes on intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery:① Pearson univariate correlation analysis,② liner regression model analysis.Followup using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the postoperative survival and tumor recurrence or metastasis up to December 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Comparisons of ordinal data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test.Risk factors of perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy were analyzed by Logistic regression model.Influence of body shape related indexes on intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery was analyzed by Pearson univariate correlation analysis and liner regression model.Results (1) Intraoperative and postoperative situations:all the 506 patients underwent successful laparoscopic distal gastrectomy,including 103 with Billroth Ⅰ anastomosis,140 with Billroth Ⅱ anastomosis,201 with Billroth Ⅱ + Braun anastomosis,62 with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph nodes dissected,time to postoperative anal exsufflation,time for initial fluid diet intake,time for initial semi-fluid diet intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (233±44)minutes,(102±86)mL,34±13,(3.6±1.5)days,(5.8±3.3)days,(8.3±3.8)days,(12.2±5.7)days respectively in the 506 patients.Of 506 patients,196 were defined as pathological stage Ⅰ,122 were defined as pathological stage Ⅱ and 188 were defined as pathological stage Ⅲ postoperatively.Of 506 patients,93 had 106 times of perioperative complications,including 33 times of pulmonary and upper respiratory infection,12 times of incisional infection,11 times of anastomotic leakage,11 times of abdominal infection,8 times of intestinal obstruction,8 times of gastroplegia,6 times of abdominal hemorrhage,5 times of bacteremia,3 times of anastomotic hemorrhage,3 times of lymph fluid leakage,2 times of pancreatic leakage,1 time of urinary infection,1 time of anatomotic stenosis,1 time of deep venous thrombosis and 1 time of pulmonary embolism;the same patient can merge multiple complications.Eleven patients were in the Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ Ⅲ.(2) Follow-up situations:465 of 506 patients were followed up for 1-32 months with a median time of 12 months.During the follow-up,451 had postoperative survival and 38 had tumor recurrence or metastasis.(3) Risk factors analysis of perioperative complications.① Results of univariate analysis showed that age,body mass index (BMI),preoperative hemoglobin,preoperative serum albumin and XAPD were related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (x2 =10.289,7.427,5.269,5.481,4.285,P＜ 0.05).② Results of multivariate analysis showed that age,BMI,preoperative serum albumin were independent related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (odds ratio =1.033,1.118,0.937,95％ interval confidence:1.011-1.057,1.025-1.219,0.887-0.990,P＜0.05).(4) Influence of body shape related indexes on intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery.① Results of Pearson univariate correlation analysis showed correlations between UAPD,XAPD,CAD,CATD and volume of intraoperative blood loss (r=0.107,0.169,0.179,0.106,P＜0.05),between UAPD,XAPD,CAD and the number of lymph nodes dissected (r=-0.137,-0.143,-0.173,P＜0.05),between USCF,XAPD and time to postoperative anal exsufflation (r =0.122,0.109,P＜0.05),between USCF,XAPD,CAD and time for initial fluid diet intake (r=0.132,0.108,0.132,P＜0.05),between USCF,XAPD and duration of postoperative hospital stay (r=0.116,0.100,P＜0.05).② Results of liner regression model analysis showed a positive correlation between CAD and volume of intraoperative blood loss (r =6.776),a negative correlation between CAD and the number of lymph nodes dissected (r =-0.841),with statistically significant differences (t =2.410,-1.992,P＜ 0.05);a positive correlation between USCF and time to postoperative anal exsufflation (r=0.170),between USCF and time for initial fluid diet intake (r=0.365),between USCF and duration of postoperative hospital stay (r=0.636) respectively,with statisticallysignificant differences (t =2.188,1.981,2.107,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal shape can influence intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy,but cannot increase risks ofperioperative complications.Age,BMI and preoperative serum albumin are independent related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

The clinical data of 288 patients with gastrointestinal perforation undergoing surgical treatment from Jul 2014 to Jul 2017 were retrospectively analyzed,among whom the surgical incision infection occurred in 112 patients(38.9％).The risk factors of the incision infections were examined with logistic regression analysis.The univariate analysis showed that preoperative albumin level (≤30 g/L),body mass index (＞24.0 kg/m2),duration of abdominal pain(＞24 h),extension of incision,preoperative shock,colostomy,preoperative antibiotic use and the operation time were associated with incision infections(P＜0.05),while the gender,age,preoperative hemoglobin level,diabetes,incision length were not associated with the incision infections(P＞0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the body mass index(OR=1.61,P＜0.01),gastrointestinal perforation site(colon and rectum,OR=5.60,P＜0.01),extension of incision (OR=3.94,P＜0.01) and operation time(OR=1.04,P=0.02)were independent risk factors of theincision infection.The results suggest that the full preoperative preparation,intensive treatment of underlying diseases,avoiding incision extension and shortening operation time may be able to reduce the surgical incision infections for patients with the gastrointestinal perforation.
