Intracardiac thrombus is a rare complication of Antiphospholipid syndrome secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its treatment is extremely tough and requires a multidisciplinary approach. We reported a case of SLE with intracardiac thrombus and pulmonary embolism. The patient was complicated with hemoptysis and kidney injury,and had a high risk of sudden death from incidental thrombus shedding off. In the state of thrombosis and hemorrhage,the management of anticoagulation and the evaluation and treatment of the primary disease complicated with infection are challenging. The multidisciplinary collaboration helped us to create a more favorable surgical condition while controlling SLE aggressively. After surgical treatment at the proper time,the outcome of the patient was satisfying.

[摘 要] 目的:筛选影响胃癌患者预后及治疗的关键基因,分析关键基因微纤维相关蛋白2(MFAP2)在提示胃癌患者预后及免疫治疗敏感性中的价值。方法:从TCGA数据库下载胃癌患者的癌和癌旁组织的表达谱数据及临床资料。综合加权基因共表达网络分析(WGCNA)和单因素Cox回归分析筛选与胃癌预后显著相关的基因。使用多个患者队列评估关键基因MFAP2的预后价值,分析其效能和临床病理指标的相关性。使用多个在线数据库数据及算法分析MFAP2与肿瘤免疫微环境的关联,免疫表型评分(IPS)联合免疫治疗患者队列分析MFAP2在预测免疫治疗响应性中的价值。采用多数据集验证MFAP2在胃癌及癌旁组织中的表达差异。结果:蓝色模块与胃癌患者的生存结局相关性最高(R=0.17,P<0.001);进一步与预后相关基因取交集,共筛选到20个关键基因。关键基因MFAP2的高表达提示胃癌的不良预后和病理进展(HR>1,P<0.05)。MFAP2与肿瘤相关成纤维细胞密切相关,高表达MFAP2的胃癌患者对免疫治疗更不敏感。多数据集验证结果显示,MFAP2 mRNA在胃癌组织中高表达(P<0.05或P<0.01)。结论:MFAP2的高表达是胃癌预后不良和免疫治疗响应不佳的提示因子,有望作为胃癌的新型治疗靶点和预后标志物。
