Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs),a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells,play an important role in immune tolerance and immune suppression.In recent years,more and more research results show that the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has an inseparable relationship with MDSCs,and PGE2 through its relevant receptors,regulating signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and protein kinase A cell signaling pathways and secretion cytokines in tumor microenvironment,affects the development,differentiation and function of MDSCs.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal (IT) transplantation of different quantities of neural stem cells (NSCs) on neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods Eighty-four adult pathogen-free male SD rats weighing 150-180 g were randomly divided into 7 groups ( n = 12 each) : group sham operation (S group) , NP group, NP+ NSCs 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 groups (N1-5 groups) . NP was induced by partial transection of right sciatic nerve. NSCs were transplanted into subarachnoid space in N1-5 groups. Paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation (MWT) and paw withdrawal latency to nociceptive thermal stimuli (TWL) were measured at 1 day before (baseline) and 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after operation. Brain derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) expression in spinal dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) was detected by immuno-histochemistry and RT-PCR on the 7th and 21st day after operation. Results Partial transection of the sciatic nerve gradually reduced MWT and TWL after operation starting from day 1 until day 7 and 14 as compared with the baseline in group NP. IT NSC transplantation significantly increased MWT and TWL and expression of BDNF in spinal dorsal horn and DRG in a dese-dependent manner at day 7 after operation in N1-5 groups as compared with group NP. There were no significant differences in MWT and TWL and BDNF expression among N3, N4 and N5 groups at day 21 after operation.Conclusion The proper quantity of transplanted NSCs which are able to ameliorate NP induced by partial transection of sciatic nerve in rats is 105 .

Objective To establish a tandem affinity purification(TAP) system of innate immune-regulatory protein PKR and analyze PKR function, for the future screen and identification of novel PKR-interaction proteins. Methods PKR gene was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into a mammalian expression vector pcTAP-A. Recombinant pcTAP-PKR was transfected into PKR knock-down(PKRkd) HeLa cells by LipofectAMINE 2000,and the PKR overexpressed HeLa cells were harvested for mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK) activation analysis. Cell extracts of PKR overexpressed cells were purified using TAP kit and examined by Western blot. Results Cal modulin resin(CBP) and streptavidin resin(SBP) tagged PKR was detected in PKRkd HeLa cells as early as 24 h upon transfection with pcTAP-PKR, and its expression decreased at later time points. The overexpression of PKR was autophosphorylated, and thus involved in the regulation of MAPK actviation. After small-scale TAP kit purification, PKR protein was detectable by Western blot. Conclusion We have successfully established a TAP system that over-expresses functional PKR, providing a useful tool for the future study on the identification of PKR interacting proteins.

Objective To observe the effects of different interventions on the body mass index (BMI) and body fat content in overweight and obese adolescents, with an attempt to design reasonable weight relief program.Methods Totally 67 overweight or obese adolescents from a middle school of Beijing were randomly divided into three groups: control group ( n = 16 ), diet intervention group ( n= 22), and combined interventions group ( n =29). The changes of BMI and body fat rate (BFR) were observed. Results BMI significantly decreased after interventions ( diet intervention group: P = 0. 000; combined interventions group: P = 0. 018 ); the change of BMI in diet intervention group was significantly larger than that in control group ( P = 0. 035 ). The trunk and body BFRs also significantly decreased after interventions (diet intervention group: P=0. 000, P = 0. 013; combined interventions group: P = 0. 000, P = 0. 000 ); the changes of trunk and body BFRs were significantly larger in combined interventions group than those in control group ( P = 0.005, P = 0. 003 ). Conclusion Diet intervention and combined interventions are both effective in achieving weight loss in adolescents, and combined interventions have superior effectiveness.

Objective To explore the effects of diet and/or exercise intervention on oxidative stress of overweight or obese adolescents.Methods Thirty-one adolescents with normal body weight(normal control group)and 93 overweight or obese adolescents(average age(13.6 ±0.7)years; body mass index (BMI)22.4 to 34.1 kg/m2)were enrolled in this study.The overweight or obese participants were then randomly assigned to the diet group(group A),exercise group(group B),diet plus exercise group(group C),and non-intervention group(group D).Individualized caloric intake was carried out.One-hour afterschool exercise was performed once per day,4 days per week for 10 weeks.Changes of anthropometry,body composition,and metabolic biomarkers were determined.Results Compared to the normal control group,serum levels of fasting glucose,total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and malondialdehyde(M DA)of the in overweight group were significant increased(all P ＜ 0.05),although the level of SOD was significant decreased(P ＜ 0.05).Serum MDA level was positively correlated with bodyweight,BMI,TC,and LDL-C(R values were 0.209,0.228,0.274,and 0.263,respectively ; all P ＜0.05),and serum SOD level was negatively correlated with bodyweight and BMI(R values were-0.334 and-0.362,respectively ; both P ＜ 0.05).Group A,B and C showed a significant decrease in BMI,waist circumference and body fat after the intervention(all P ＜ 0.05).The level of MDA was significantly decreased after the intervention in group A and B(both P ＜ 0.05); the levels of TC and LDL-C were significantly decreased in group B and C(both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Oxidative stress could have existed in overweight adolescents even when their serum glucose and lipid profiles are at a normal level.Ten-week diet and/or exercise intervention may contribute to improved body weight control,lipid metabolism,and oxidative stress response in this population.

(ALPPS).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 15 patients who underwent ALPPS at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between March 2017 and May 2018 were collected.Observation indicators:(1) intraoperative situations in the first staged ALPPS and the second staged ALPPS;(2) postoperative situations:① postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay,② results of pathological examination;(3) IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood before and after operation;(4)follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination,telephone interview and internet was performed to detect life quality and survival of patients.Imaging examination was done to detect tumor recurrence and metastasis.Follow-up was done up to May 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution or similar normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Repeated measures data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Correlation comparison was done using Pearson bivariate correlation test.Results (1) Intraoperative situations.① The first staged ALPPS:15 patients had liver parenchymal transection via anterior approach combined with selective hepatic vascular exclusion,without allogenic blood transfusion.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,FLR at postoperative 16 days,interval time to the second staged ALPPS,growth rate of liver volume,ratio of FLR and standard liver volume (SLV) were respectively 324 minutes (range,240-387 minutes),356 mL (range,200-600 mL),(582± 134) cm3,24 days (range,9-34 days),35％±20％ and 53％±7％.② The second staged ALPPS:of 15 patients,13 underwent the second staged ALPPS successfully including 11 undergoing middle hepatic vein preserved right hepatectomy and 2 undergoing expanded right hemihepatectomy or right trisegmentectomy,1 underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) due to FLR/SLV =31％,1 was detected yellow-white nodules at left lobe and confirmed as hepatocellular carcinoma by frozen section pathological examination,and then improved and discharged after 5-FU abdominal local chemotherapy combined with postoperative TACE.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss of 13 patients undergoing the second staged ALPPS were 324 minutes (range,140-515 minutes) and 639 mL(range,100-1 400 mL).Two patients had blood transfusion including 1 with 800 mL of fresh frozen plasma and 4.0 U of red cells and 1 with 600 mL of plasma and 9.5 U of de-leucocytes and red cells.(2) Postoperative situations.① Postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay:15 patients had no perioperative death,9 and 6 were detected grade A and grade B liver failure respectively,15 had grade Ⅰ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification and no patient had grade Ⅱ and above complications,10 had pleural effusion including 1 with volume of effusion ＞500 mL.Of 13 patients undergoing the second staged ALPPS,4 and 9 were detected grade A and grade B liver failure respectively,8 and 5 had grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification and no patient had grade Ⅲ and above complications,11 had few pleural effusion with volume of effusion ＜500 mL.Patients with grade B liver failure and grade Ⅱ complications were recovered and discharged after treatments of liver protection,gastric protection,reinforced dressing change,continuous use of Alb,fresh frozen plasma transfusion.The patient with volume of pleural effusion ＞ 500 mL was improved after closed thoracic drainage and other patients with pleural effusion were improved after symptomatic and supportive treatment.Duration of total hospital stay was 31 days (range,22-49 days) in 15 patients.② Results of pathological examination:13 patients undergoing complete ALPPS were diagnosed as hepaticocellular carcinoma with R0 resection and without cancer cells involving surgical margin,including 7 with grade Ⅱ portal vein tumor thrombus.Ishak score for postoperative pathological fibrosis and liver cirrhosis was 7.7±1.4 in 15 patients,including 1 case of 5,1 case of 6,2 case of 7,6 case of 8,5 case of 9.(3) IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood before and after operation:IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood before surgery was (8±3)ng/L in 15 patients,and (207±150)ng/L,(104±65)ng/L,(45±38)ng/L,(26±9)ng/L,(18±10)ng/L at 1,3,5,7,10 days after the first staged ALPPS,showing a statistically significant difference in changing trend before and after surgery (F=25.877,P＜0.05) and statistically significant differences in paired comparison between 1,3,5,7,10 days after the first staged ALPPS and before surgery respectively (P＜0.05).There was correlation between IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood at 1,3 days after the first staged ALPPS and growth of FLR (r=0.766,0.881,P＜0.05),and also between IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood at 1,3 days after the first staged ALPPS and growth rate of FLR (r =0.810,0.879,P＜ 0.05).(4) Follow-up:15 patients were followed up for 1-14 months with a median time of 7 months.Of the 15 patients,1 without the second staged ALPPS died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome at 7 months after the first staged ALPPS,14 survived and took care of theirselves in daily life during follow-up with improved life quality,including 1 detected multiple lung metastases at 12 months after complete ALPPS with mild increased AFP and 13 undetected new lesions in the remnant liver on contrast-enhanced CT and liver contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with normal AFP.Conclusion The peak of IL-6 concentration in peripheral blood at 1,3 days after the first staged ALPPS is significantly correlated with the hyperplasia of FLR,which may be used to predict the hyperplasia of FLR.

Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional visualization technology in management of middle hepatic vein (MHV) processing in associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy(ALPPS).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 40 patients with right massive liver cancer or multiple right liver lesions who underwent ALPPS in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from November 2017 to August 2019 were collected. There were 34 males and 6 females, aged (44±9)years, with a range from 26 to 64 years. All patients underwent multi-slice computed tomography (CT) plain and enhanced scan of superior abdominal region before operation, and the data were transmitted to the liver visualization analysis software IQQA system with 1.5 mm thin-layer images to complete the three-dimensional reconstruction of the liver and its blood vessels. Patients were performed ALPPS based on results of three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative findings. Observation indicators: (1) results of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction; (2) surgical situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examinations and telephone interview to detect postopeartive survival of patients up to March 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Results of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction: 40 patients underwent three-dimensional reconstruction successfully, of which 37 clearly showed MHV, tumor location and relationship between them, 3 patients showed unclearly MHV and were classified based on two-dimensional images. Of the 40 patients, 12 had MHV classified as type A, 13 as type B, 9 as type C, and 6 as type D. Three-dimensional reconstruction of vessels showed 22 with umbilical veins and 9 with anterior veins. Of the 40 patients, 35 were predicted to preserve MHV, and 5 were predicted to resect MHV. Total estimated liver volume, tumor volume, and reserved liver volume were (1 012±119)cm 3, 600 cm 3(8-2 055 cm 3), (346±80)cm 3. The ratio of future liver remnant to standard liver volume was 34%±8%. (2) Surgical situations : 40 patients underwent the first-stage ALPPS, including 35 with preservation of MHV and 5 with resection of MHV, which was accorded with preoperative prediction. Thirty-four patients underwent the second-stage ALPPS, and 6 patients had failure to receive the second-stage ALPPS due to undificiency future liver remnant. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss for 40 patients undergoing first-stage ALPPS were (350±79)minutes and 300 mL(range, 100-2 600 mL). Three patients received blood transfusion and no perioperative death occurred. There were 24 patients with grade A heptic insufficiency according to criteria of International StudyGroup of Liver Surgery (ISGLS) and 16 patients with grade B heptic insufficiency after the first-stage ALPPS. Twenty-eight patients had grade Ⅰ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 17 with a small pleural effusion, 10 with a small pleural and abdominal effusion, 1 with hypoproteinemia; 8 patients had grade Ⅱ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 5 with pneumonia, 1 with pneumonia combined with pleural and abdominal effusion, 1 with coagulation disorders, 1 with biliary fistula; 3 patients had grade Ⅲ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 2 with pneumothorax and pneumonia, 1 with pneumothorax, pneumonia and coagulation disorders; 1 patient had grade Ⅳ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification as systemic inflammatory response syndrome. All patients with complications were improved after symptomatic treatment, anti infection, transfusion of fresh frozen plasma or drainage. For the 34 patients undergoing the second-stage ALPPS, the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were (320±83)minutes and 500 mL(range, 200-6 000 mL). Twelve patients received blood transfusion. There were 12 patients with grade A heptic insufficiency according to criteria of ISGLS and 22 with grade B heptic insufficiency after the second-stage ALPPS. Eighteen patients had grade Ⅰ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 11 with a small pleural effusion, 7 with a small pleural and abdominal effusion; 12 patients had grade Ⅱ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 4 with pneumonia, 4 with coagulation disorders, 3 with massive abdominal effusion, 1 with biliary fistula; 3 patients had grade Ⅲ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, including 1 with pneumothorax and pneumonia, 1 with massive pleural effusion, 1 with obstructive jaundice; 1 patient had grade Ⅳ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification as pneumonia and anemia. All patients with complications were improved after symptomatic treatment, anti infection, transfusion of fresh frozen plasma or drainage. (3) Follow-up: 40 patients were followed up for 2-35 months, with a median follow-up time of 17 months. The 6-month, 1-, and 2-year survival cases were 35, 26, 21 cases. Conclusion:Three-dimensional visualization technology can clearly show the MHV classification and its relationship with tumor location, which has an important guiding significance in the decision-making of MHV management in ALPPS.

Objective To evaluate the use of intercostal trocars (ICS) and transthoracic trocars in laparoscopic resection of liver segments 7 and 8.Method From November 2015 to June 2017,20 patients who underwent laparoscopic S7 or 8 segmentectomy for liver tumors in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital,Guangxi Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.Results Ports were inserted at the 8th or 9th ICS,respectively,in addition to the conventional abdominal ports.The mean operation time was 225.0 min (110.0 ～ 486.0 min).Anatomical resection was completed in 1 patient,and non-anatomical resection in 19 patients.The conversion rate was 0％.Pringle's maneuver was used in 9 patients.The mean blood loss was 85.0 (25.0 ～410.0) ml,and the mean length of hospital stay was 7.0 (5.0 ～ 12.0) days.The complication rate was 10.0％.Pathologic findings revealed that 17,2,1 patient(s) had HCC,hemangioma,and inflammatory nodule,respectively.The mean tumor size and tumor free margin were 33.8 (15.0 ～ 74.0) mm;and 15.0 (1.0 ～ 30.0) mm,respectively.There was no HCC recurrence on follow-up,expect for one patient who developed tumor recurrence at 20 months after laparoscopic liver resection.Conclusions In selected patients,laparoscopic liver resection using intercostal trocars was useful and safe for tumors located in liver segments 7 and 8.The long-term oncologic outcomes need to be further evaluated.

Glioblastoma(GBM)originates from glial cells,and complete surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the current standard treatment.However,gliomas are subjected to not only accelerated cell death after radiotherapy and chemotherapy but also cellular senescence.Senescent cells produce a senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),which has a dual effect on the tumor microenvironment.The"one-two punch"strategy of specifically eliminating senescent cells and inhibiting SASP-derived secretions provides a new direction for tumor therapy.In this article,we review the mechanisms that mediate tumor cellular senescence and SASP,the elimina-tion of senescent cells by senolytics for SASP inhibition,and the current situation of the"one-two punch"strategy for the treatment of glioma.
