ObjectiveTo evaluate the surgical outcomes and prognosis of patients after liver resection for noncolorectal liver metastases.Methods72 patients with liver metastases who underwent liver resection at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively studied.There were 32 males and 42 females,aged between 35～78 years.After liver resection,68 patients had a R0 resection (negative histological margin),and 4 patients had a R1 resection (positive histological margin).The primary tumours were breast,(n =16,22.2 ％),lung (n =14,19.4 ％),gastrointestinal (n=12,16.7％),gynecological (n =8,11.1％),pancreatobiliary (n =8,11.1％),melanoma (n=4,5.6％),sarcoma (n=4,5.6％),and genitourinary (n=2,2.8％).The mean diameter of the main tumour was 4.8 cm (range,1.5- 11.0 cm).The mean number of liver metastases was 1.2 (range,1-5).Liver metastases were synchronous in 6 patients (8.3％) and metachronous in the remaining 66 patients (91.7％).ResultsThe operative mortality was 0％.The mean hospital stay was 14.4 days (range 6-67 days).The median overall survival was 31 months (range,6-127 months).The 1-,3- and 5-year survival rates were 81.9％,37.5％ and 23.6％,respectively.Univariate analysis revealed primary tumour sites (breast vs.others),histological type (adenocarcinoma vs.others),postoperative chemotherapy,number of liver metastases (solitary vs.multiple) and time to liver metastases from diagnosis of primary tumours (≤ 12 months vs.＞ 12 months) were associated with overall survival (all,P＜0.05).In multivariate analysis,factors independently associated with poor survival were nonbreast origin (P =0.012),time to liver metastases from diagnosis of primary tumours ＜12 months (P=0.027) and multiple liver metastases (P=0.008).ConclusionsIn selected patients,liver resection is an effective and safe treatment for noncolorectal liver metastases.The time to liver metastases from diagnosis of primary tumours was independently associated with overall survival.For solitary or liver metastasis of breast origin,surgical resection significantly improved survival.

ObjectiveTo investigate the treatment strategies and factors influencing the prognosis of patients with primary gallbladder carcinoma.MethodsThe clinical data of 135 patients with primary gallbladder cancer who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2000 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rates were analyzed by using the Log-rank test.Factors which may have influences on the prognosis were analyzed by univariate analysis and COX multivariate analysis.ResultsThe overall 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of the 135 patients were 46.7％,10.4％ and 5.2％,respectively.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of 74 patients who received radical resection of gallbladder cancer were 68.9％,18.9％ and 9.5％,respectively.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of 50 patients who received palliative treatment were 24.0％,0 and 0,respectively.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of 11 patients who received conservative treatment were 0,0 and 0,respectively.There was no significant difference in the survival rates among patients who received different treatment methods (x2 =5.642,P ＜ 0.05 ). Of the 9 patients with gallbladder cancer who received reoperation after laparoscopic choledochotomy,the survival time of 1 patient in stage Ⅰ and 1 of the 3 patients in stage Ⅱ who received radical surgery exceeded 5 years,while the survival time of 5 patients in stage Ⅱ who received palliative treatment was shorter than 5 years.There was a significant difference in the survival time among the 3 groups of patients ( x2 =5.642,P＜0.05).Under the condition of same TNM stages ( Ⅱ,ⅢA,ⅢB,ⅣA,ⅣB),the survival rates of patients who received radical resection of gallbladder cancer were significantly higher than those who received palliative or conservative treatment ( x2 =8.971,21.250,44.153,6.696,21.722,P ＜ 0.05 ).The results of univariate analysis showed that age,CA19-9,TNM stages and treatment methods were risk factors influencing the median survival time ( x2 =8.466,3.977,9.837,5.642,P ＜ 0.05 ).The results of multivariate analysis showed that age,TNM stages and treatment methods were the independent risk factors influencing the median survival time ( Wald=5.779,14.724,11.640,P＜0.05).ConclusionThe prognosis of primary gallbladder cancer is poor.Age,TNM stages and treatment methods are the independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients with gallbladder cancer,and patients who receive radical resection have relatively good prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Lianhua Dingchuan Tablets in bronchial asthma.Methods Fifty BALB/C mice were randomly and equally divided into control (Con) group,ovalbumin (OVA) group,dexamethasone (DEX) group,high-dose Lianhua group,low-dose Lianhua group.The mice were sensitized and challenged with OVA plus aluminium hydroxide to establish asthmatic model and were pre-treated 30 minutes before challenge.Specific airway resistance (sRaw) was used to evaluate airway hyperresponsiveness,and airway inflammatory changes were measured.ELISA and Magnetic Luminex(R) were used to quantified the levels of IL-4,IL-13 and INF-γ.Results Airway resistance significantly decreased in DEX group and High-dose Lianhua group (P＜0.05).Levels of inflammatory cells and IL-13 in BALF evidently reduced in DEX group,high-dose Lianhua group and low-dose Lianhua group (P ＜ 0.05),while IL-13 level in serum only decreased in DEX group.There was no significant changes in the levels of IL 4 and INF γ among those groups.Conclusions Lianhua Dingchuan Tablets might relieve the symptoms of asthma by reducing IL-13 level and inhibiting the airway inflammation.

Objective: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is mainly synthesized in the liver. So far, it is unknown the relationship among APOE gene polymorphisms and WML, brain atrophy. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the associations of APOE gene polymorphisms in patients with WML and brain atrophy. Methods: A total of 58 patients with WML, 128 patients with brain atrophy, 112 patients with co-occurrence of WML and brain atrophy and 95 healthy elderly volunteers were recruited from Renmin Hospital of WuHan University. Results: Allele E3 was the most common allele. The alleles E2 had significantly higher levels of ApoB and lower age in WML group. The alleles E2 was associated with the lower level of ApoB, LDL-Ch, TCh, and sdLDL in co-occurrence group. The E3/E3 genotype has higher level of sdLDL, but lower age and female frequency in WML. The E3/E4 genotype had higher level of TG, but lower age in WML. Gender, Age, E2, Hyperhomocysteinemia and UA were also significantly associated with disease progression. Conclusion This study found that clinical data, lipids and metabolic complications were closely related to ApoE genotypes and alleles, and also disease progression and type.

Objective To compare the CT findings of poor-differentiated gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas (PD-NECs) and poordifferentiated gastric adenocarcinomas (PD-ADCs),and to increase the diagnostic accuracy rate.Methods In this retrospective study that enrolled 29 gastric PD-NECs and 29 gastric PD-ADCs,whose diagnoses were proven pathologically,we assessed their clinical characteristics and CT findings and then used univariate and multivariate analyses for statistical comparisons.Results The univariate analysis revealed that gastric PD-NECs were significantly smaller (P =0.002),more often showed well-defined margins (P＜0.001),and more frequently accompanied with intact overlying mucosa on CT when compared with gastric PD-ADCs (P ＜0.001).In the multivariate analysis,the presence of intact overlying mucosa (OR=0.028,95 ％ CI:0.001-0.863,P =0.041) and tumor-to-mucosa HU ratio on the arterial phase (OR=0.015,95 ％ CI:0.000-0.495,P =0.019) were two independent factors affecting the identification of gastric PD-NECs and gastric PD-ADCs.Receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC) showed that the value of tumor-to-mucosa H U ratio on the arterial phase in differentiating them was moderate (AUC=0.72).Conclusion Gastric PD-NECs have better-defined margin,more intact overlying mucosa and higher tumor-to-mucosa HU ratio on the arterial phase than gastric PD-ADCs.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bronchoalveolar lavage( BAL) in the treatment of neonatal atelectasis with fiberoptic bronchoscopy under ultrasound monitoring. Methods From June 2018 to December 2018,29 children were diagnosed as atelectasis by lung ultrasound. After conventional mechanical vibration and sputum ineffective,BAL was treated with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. All patients be-fore operation were monitored by ultrasound to find the lung segment where the atelectasis was located. 0. 9%NaCl solution was injected by fibrobronchoscope(1～2 ml/kg),and then sucked to ensure the recovery rate of the lavage fluid was more than 50%. After each lavage,ultrasound was immediately used to monitor the recovery of atelectasis to determine whether or not to continue the lavage. One course of treatment could be continuously performed BAL 1 to 3 times a day,1 course per day,and up to 3 courses of lavage. We analyzed the efficacy,adverse reactions and complications of BAL in the treatment of neonatal atelectasis under ultra-sound monitoring. Results Twenty-nine patients underwent BAL treatment with fiberoptic bronchoscopy,25 cases (86. 2%) were cured,3 cases (10. 3%) were effective,and 1 case (3. 4%) was ineffective. All chil-dren had stable vital signs during treatment. Among them,11 cases (37. 9%) had transient hypoxemia, 3 ca-ses (10. 3%) had tracheal mucosal injury, and 2 cases (6. 9%) had hoarseness. There were no serious com-plications such as pulmonary hemorrhage,pneumothorax,and cardiac arrest. Conclusion BAL treatment of atelectasis under lung ultrasound monitoring has obvious effect,easy to operate,no radiation,no obvious ad-verse reactions and complications,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FBXL19-AS1 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, and to determine the targeting relationship of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 and microRNA-339-3p (miR-339-3p).Methods:From January 2017 to August 2019, 73 cancer tissues and matched normal pancreatic tissues adjacent to cancer from patients pathologically diagnosed as pancreatic cancer who underwent surgical resection in Yantai Hospital of Yantai were collected. Normal pancreatic epithelial cells (hTERT-HPNE) and 3 pancreatic cancer cell lines (Capan-1, SW1990, PaTu8988) were cultured in vitro. The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines. The Capan-1 cells were divided into the NC group (normal control group), si-NC group (transfected with meaningless negative sequence), si-FBXL19-AS1 group (transfected with FBXL19-AS1 small interfering RNA), miR-NC group (transfected with empty plasmid control), miR-339-3p group (transfected with miR-339-3p overexpression lentiviral vector), si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-339-3p NC group (cotransfected with FBXL19-AS1siRNA and miR-339-3p inhibitor negative control sequence) and si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-339-3p group (cotransfected with FBXL19-AS1siRNA and miR-339-3p inhibitor). CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation activity. Transwell chamber was used to detect cell migration and invasion ability, and western blotting method was used to detect cell cyclinD1, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 protein expression. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were used to analyze the targeting relationship between lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p.Results:The expression of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 in pancreatic cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancer (2.96±0.21 vs 1.00±0.13, P<0.05), and the expression of miR-339-3p was significantly lower than that in normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancer (0.37±0.05 vs 1.00±0.11, P<0.05). The expression of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 in Capan-1, SW1990 and PaTu8988 cells were 2.43±0.18, 1.97±0.13 and 1.73±0.14, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of hTERT-HPNE cells 1.00±0.07. The expression of miR-339-3p were 0.42±0.03, 0.54±0.03 and 0.57±0.04, respectively, which were all significantly lower than 1.00±0.05 of hTERT-HPNE cells. Among them, the expression of lncRNA FBXL 19-AS1 in Capan-1 cells was the highest, and the miR-339-3p was the lowest. Compared with the si-NC group, the absorbance value ( A450) of Capan-1 cells in the si-FBXL19-AS1 group, the number of migrating cells, and the number of transmembrane cells were significantly decreased (0.47±0.03 vs 0.94±0.06, 81.00±7.41 vs 187.00±16.13, 67.00±5.41 vs 141.00±9.24), the protein expression of cyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9 was significantly reduced (0.44±0.03 vs 0.83±0.05, 0.48±0.03 vs 0.92±0.07, 0.38±0.02 vs 0.73±0.05). Compared with the miR-NC group, the A450, the number of migrating cells, and the number of transmembrane cells of Capan-1 cells in the miR-339-3p group were significantly decreased (0.54±0.04 vs 0.94±0.05, 98.00±6.53 vs 193.00±10.02, 83.00±6.58 vs 146.00±7.11, the protein expression of cyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9 was significantly reduced (0.47±0.03 vs 0.81±0.07, 0.43±0.03 vs 0.94±0.06, 0.32±0.02 vs 0.71±0.06). Compared with the si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-NC group, the A450, the number of migrating cells and the number of transmembrane cells in the si-FBXL19-AS1+ anti-miR-339-3p group increased significantly (0.96±0.07 vs 0.48±0.03, 204.00±11.25 vs 83.00±5.11, 157.00±8.76 vs 64.00±4.12, P all <0.05), the protein expression of cyclinD1, MMP2 and MMP9 increased significantly (0.84±0.06 vs 0.42±0.03, 0.96±0.08 vs 0.47±0.08, 0.74±0.06 vs 0.37±0.02, P all <0.05). The luciferase activity of Capan-1 cells cotransfected with WT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p mimics was significantly lower than that of the cotransfected with WT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-NC (0.47±0.04 vs 1.00±0.10, P all <0.05). The difference of the luciferase of Capan-1 cells in the cotransfected MUT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p mimics group and the cotransfected MUT-FBXL19-AS1 and miR-NC group was not statistically significant. Conclusions:LncRNA FBXL19-AS1 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues and Capan-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines. Knockdown of lncRNA FBXL19-AS1 can target miR-339-3p to regulate the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, and promote the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer.
