Objective To investigate the value of CT in localization diagnosis of the neoplasm of the transverse mesocolon.Methods 26 cases of neoplasm of the transverse mesocolon proved by surgical pathology or pathology from May 1998 to Dec.2007 were retrospectivley studied.All cases underwent CT scan.Image analysis was focused on the relation between neoplasm and SMA,SMV,middle colonic vessels,duodenum,and the small bowel.Readipose sarcoma (n=1),transverse colonic carcinoma invaded the transverse melocolon (n=2),pancreatic carcinoduodenum in 22 cases.Superior mesenteric artery and vein were displaced in 21 cases;middle colonic vessels were showed different CT manifestation.Conclusion The relation between neoplasm and adjacent structure is helpful for the localizing neoplasm of the transverse mesocolon.

Objective:To investigate the effect of functional movement assessment on the recurrence of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) after treat-to-target therapy.Methods:The clinical data of 61 patients with AS in Chengdu were collected including clinical symptoms and AS disease activity (ASDAS). After 24 weeks adalimumab treatment, motor function score of AS patients(ASDAS<1.3) was assessed by functional movement screen (FMS), then adalimumab was discontinued and the rest of the concurrent drugs were continued until the disease relapse or up to 1 year. The data of the two groups were compared using t-test analysis and Cox proportionate hazard model. Results:① The recurrence rate of patients with AS after treat-to-target therapy within 1 year follow-up was 57.4%; ② The recurrence group was younger [(27±7) vs (31±6), t=5.96, P=0.02], the ASADAS value was at the high end when adalimumab was withdrawal [(1.29±0.07) vs (0.87±0.16), t=177.31, P<0.01], and the FMS value was lower after treat-to-target [(12.9±2.7) vs (16.2±1.9), t=29.23, P<0.01], The time to reaching the treatment target was longer [(2.9±1.2) month vs (1.7±0.6) month, t=19.89, P<0.01] than the stable group; ③ The cut-off value of the FMS test of AS patients after treat-to-target therapy was 14.25 (sensitivity was 84.6%, specificity was 80%) . The time to treat-to-target was a risk factor for recurrence ( RR=2.285, P<0.05), and the FMS value after treat-to-target was a protective factor ( RR=0.625, P<0.05). Conclusion:After discontinuing the adalimumab, about half of the patients relapse. The time reaching the treatment target and the FMS value after treat-to-target therapy are the risk factors for disease recurrence.

Objective To analyze the expression and clinical treatment and prognosis assessment significance of FAM83H-AS1 in breast cancer by bioinformatics analysis.Methods The expression of FAM83H-AS1 in various cancer types was analyzed in the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database by R language.Additionally the expression in breast cancer was examined by Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA)online database.Survival data were downloaded from TCGA to analyze the correlation between FAM83H-AS1 expression levels and prognosis among breast cancer patients.GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier Plotter were used for dual verification.Clinical information was obtained from TCGA for further analysis on the relationship between FAM83H-AS1 and clinical characteristics.And the relationship between FAM83H-AS1 and tumor microenvironment,immunodetection point-related genes and tumor mutation burden(TMB)was analyzed using R language.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)was performed.Results The expression of FAM83H-AS1 was abnormal in many cancers,particularly exhibiting a significant increase in breast cancer.High expression of FAM83H-AS1 is associated with significantly reduced overall survival in breast cancer patients.Furthermore,the expression level of FAM83H-AS1 varies among breast cancer patients with different clinical stages.FAM83H-AS1 exhibits negative correlation with stromal cell score and immune cell score in breast cancer samples,and correlated with immune detection point-related gene.TMB radar map results suggest that the expression of FAM83H-AS1 in breast cancer is positively correlated with tumor mutational burden.GSEA revealed a positive correlation between the expression of FAM83H-AS1 and the function of mismatch repair.Conclusion FAM83H-AS1 is highly expressed in breast cancer,and is related to poor prognosis.Its expression correlates with clinicopathological stage,tumor microenvironment and TMB of breast cancer patients.Furthermore,FAM83H-AS1 exhibits associations with certain immune checkpoint-related genes and mismatch repair genes.These findings provide a important theoretical basis for clinical treatment,prognosis prediction and development of gene-target drugs.
