Objective To study the related prognostic factors influencing rectal neuroendocrine tumor prognosis.Methods We retrospectively reviewed tumor clinical and pathology material of 183 cases with rectal neuroendocrine in our hospital during recent 10 years and reclassified them according to the 2010 WHO pathology classification.Single factor and multivariate analysis were performed to find related prognostic factors.Results Single factor analysis showed that tumor size (＜ 1 cm,1-2 cm,＞2 cm,98.77％ vs 78.57％ vs 28.57％,x2 =71.4793,P =0.0001),pathological grading (G1,G2,G3,98.73％ vs.76.19％ vs 25.00％,x2 =56.5121,P =0.0001) and the stage (stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ period,99.40％ vs 50.00％ vs 60.00％ vs 16.67％,x2 =105.0383,P =0.0001) among the three variables survival difference was statistically significant.Multivariate analysis (Cox regression) indicated that the tumor stage were independent factors affecting the prognosis,regression coefficient was 1.277 (B),Wald value of 28.145,Exp (B) a value of 3.586,95％ CI:2.237-5.747.Conclusion Tumor staging is an independent risk factor of survival,without considering other factors,different tumor size and pathologic grade also have different prognosis.Clinicians in making treatment plan should fully consider the above factors before choosing the appropriate follow-up plan.

A fast method composed of the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe ( QuEChERS) and temperature-assisted ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction ( TA-IL-DLLME) sample preparation coupled with high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) for the analysis of 5 dyes residues in navel orange was developed. The QuEChERS sample preparation involved the quick extraction with acetonitrile in the presence of anhydrous MgSO4 and NaCl and the purification with primary secondary amine ( PSA ) sorbent. The TA-IL-DLLME sample preparation was processed using 1 mL of the extract obtained by QuEChERS as dispersive solvent and 60 μL of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as extractive solvent under 55 ℃ of water-bath temperature and 12 min of water-bath time. The ultimate solution was detected by HPLC-UV and the contaminated sample was further confirmed by UPLC-MS/MS under multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode. The recoveries of five dyes were in the range from 70. 3% to 93. 6% at two spike levels of 0. 01 and 0. 05 mg/kg, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were between 3. 5% and 9. 2% and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were between 1. 1 and 2. 8 μg/kg.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) in different pathological grades.Methods The clinical data of 183 patients with rectal NENs who were admitted to the PLA General Hospital from January 2001 to April 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the clinical and pathological data of the patients who received endoscopy and (or) surgical resection were retrieved from the work station and the database of the endoscopic center.Based on the 2010 WHO pathology classification of digestive tumors,the pathological data were ranked according to the mitotic count.The prognosis of the patients was learned by re-examination or phone call.The follow-up ended till July 2014 or at the death of patients.Data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results A total of 183 patients were enrolled in this study including 120 males and 63 females.The median age of the patients was 48 years (range,14-83 years).Seventy-four patients had the symptom of hemafecia,9 patients had abdominal pain and change in bowel habit,and 70 patients were diagnosed by body examination.Other symptoms included increased level of tumor markers and abdominal distension.Carcinoid syndrome was not detected in all the patients.Fourteen patients were complicated with polyp of intestine,5 with tubular adenoma,3 with colorectal adenocarcinoma and 1 with small cell lung cancer.The diameters of the tumor under 1 cm were detected in 162 patients,the diameters of the tumors ranged between 1 cm and 2 cm in 14 patients,and the diameters of the tumors above 2 cm in 7 patients.The mean distance between the tumor and the anus was (5-± 3)cm.Of the 183 patients,130 received endoscopic treatment,43 received surgical treatment and 10 received clamping because the tumor was misdiagnosed as polyps.There were 158 patients in grade1 (154 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅱ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 2 in stage Ⅳ),21 in grade2 (13 in stage Ⅰ,3in stage Ⅱ,3 in stage Ⅲ and 2 in stage Ⅳ),4 in grade 3 (1 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 2 in stage Ⅳ).Six patients had liver metastasis and 9 had lymph node metastasis.Fourteen patients died (4 in grade 1,6 in grade 2 and 4 in grade 3).The 5-year survival rate of patients was 92.35％ (169/183).There were significant differences in the gender,tumor diameter,tumor staging,lymph node metastasis distal metastasis and 5-year survival rate among patients with rectal NENs in different pathological grades (x2=60.949,71.587,32.135,55.486,56.512,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Rectal NENs lacks the specific clinical manifestation and is more likely to happen in males,and it often locates at the middle-lower rectum.Most of the rectal NENs belongs to stage Ⅰ and grade 1 and is less than 1 cm in size.The prognosis of patients with rectal NENs in different pathological grades is different.The 2010 WHO pathology classification of digestive tumors is useful to asses the prognosis of rectal NENs.Different grades of rectal NENs could be taken into account when designing the treatment plan.
