Objective To explore the prognosis related genes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)and investigate the molecular regulation mechanism.Methods Gene expression data of 102 PDAC patients with complete clinical survival data were selected from gene expression database of National Center for Biotechnology Information.The 106 transcription regulation gene collection was collected from Transfac database.The 715 microRNA (miRNA)target regulation gene collection was selected according to PicTar and TargetScanS method.Biological pathway data obtained from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG).The known cancer genes were collected from the cancer gene census (CGC) database.Univariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the correlation between gene expression data and survival time,then obtained survival related candidate genes from the whole genome. Then the enriched genes were analyzed by hypergeometric distribution algorithm from three databases. Multiple correction testing was performed by BH-FDR method (FDR < 0.05 ).Kaplan-Meier was performed for survival curve analysis of PDAC.Results The results of data of 102 PDAC patients analyzed by univariate Cox proportional hazards model indicated that 273 genes were significantly related to the survival time of patients (P <0.000 1 ).After 273 survival genes were enrichment analyzed in 106 transcription factor regulation gene collection,12 survival genes enriched transcription factor target gene sets were found.After 273 survival genes were enrichment analyzed in 715 miRNA target regulation gene collection,11 survival genes enriched miRNAs target sets were discovered.After 273 survival genes were enrichment analyzed in pathway data of KEGG,15 survival genes enriched pathways were obtained. Period circadian clock 2 (PER2 )was regulated by CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (CEBPA)at transcription level and regulated by miRNA-32 after transcription.The prognosis of PDAC was affected by circadian rhythm pathway.The 102 patients with PDAC were ranked according to the expression of PER2 from high to low,the first 51 cases were included in PER2 higher expression group and the left were included in PER2 lower expression group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that PER2 was significantly correlated with prognosis of PDAC (P <0.01 ).Conclusion CEBPA/miRNA-32/PER2 and its related circadian clock pathway may be the target pathway in interfering the development of PDAC,and is correlated with the prognosis of PDAC.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2020;39(8):914-918
Objective:To compare the predictive ability of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA)scores for the prognosis of sepsis between elderly and non-elderly patients.Methods:Medical information of patients with sepsis based on the diagnostic criteria for sepsis were screened from the database of critical care units of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the United States during 2001 to 2012.Hospital mortality was chosen as the primary outcome for the prognosis of sepsis, and receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve analysis was performed to compare the differences in predictive ability of SOFA scores for the prognosis of sepsis between the elderly(≥60 years)and the non-elderly on admission.Parameters related to age, heart rate and body temperature were added into the SOFA scoring systems, and the differences in predictive ability of SOFA scores versus the modified SOFA scores for sepsis were compared by using ROC curve analysis.Multivariable regression models were used to assess the associations of the modified SOFA scores with clinical outcomes in the elderly sepsis patients.Results:A total of 10 206 patients with sepsis were included in this study, including 6 928(67.88%)elderly patients and 3 278(32.12%)non-elderly patients.ROC curve analysis showed that the power of admission SOFA score for predicting hospital mortality in elderly sepsis patients(AUC=0.67, 95% CI: 0.65-0.68)was lower than in non-elderly sepsis patients(AUC=0.75, 95% CI: 0.72-0.78). AS compared with the SOFA scores, the modified SOFA scores after increasing the parameters related to age, heart rate and body temperature significantly improved the predictive power for hospital mortality of sepsis patients, only in elderly(AUC: 0.67 vs.0.69, P<0.01), but not in non-elderly patients(AUC: 0.75 vs.0.75, P=0.77). After adjusting for potential confounders and in elderly sepsis patients, multivariate regression analysis showed that the modified SOFA scores were significantly associated with multiple clinical outcomes, including hospital mortality( OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.15-1.19, P<0.01), 28-day mortality( HR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.10-1.13, P<0.01), 90-day mortality( HR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.08-1.11, P<0.01). Conclusions:The predictive ability of SOFA scores for the prognosis of sepsis is lower in elderly patients than in non-elderly patients.The predictive value of SOFA scores for the prognosis of elderly sepsis patients can be improved by increasing parameters related to age, heart rate and body temperature.

Objective:
To explore the choice of the donor site of flap and the repair method of secondary wound of flap donor site in tissue repair and reconstruction operation.
Methods:
From January 2014 to September 2018, 62 cases of scar contracture deformity, 15 cases of skin tumor, 20 cases of skin and soft tissue injury, and 25 cases of chronic wound were admitted to the Burn Center of People′s Liberation Army of First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, with 84 males and 38 females, aged from 3 to 89 years. Four repair strategies adopted for tissue repair and reconstruction and good repair of the donor site of flap were as follows: designing the flap rationally according to the condition around the wound or the size and shape of wound, choosing pre-expanded technique of the donor site of flap for repair of scar deformity optimally, making full use of the surrounding condition of flap donor site, and repaired with the distal flap, i. e. replacing the important site with secondary site. The donor site of flap was repaired by direct suture or peripheral flap and distal flap. The wound size of patients ranged from 3.0 cm×2.0 cm to 20.0 cm×18.0 cm, and the flap area ranged from 3.5 cm×2.0 cm to 25.0 cm×22.0 cm. The survival condition of flap, healing condition of donor site and recipient site, and follow-up condition of donor site and recipient site were recorded.
Results:
Wounds of 122 patients were repaired with a total of 148 flaps designed by the above four repair strategies. All the flaps survived well, and the wound and flap donor site healed well. Follow-up for 3 to 36 months showed that the shape and function of recipient site and flap donor site were satisfactory.
Conclusions
According to the specific condition of the wound and anatomical structure of the surrounding tissue of flap donor site, overall surgical design with flexibility and personalization can achieve effects of good repair of the wound and reduce the secondary damage of flap donor site.

Aortic graft infections(AGI) are uncommon complications of aortic surgery, although they carry a high mortality. Due to its special anatomical location, the thoracic aorta has less surrounding covered tissue. Once the graft infection occurs, the condition is often more dangerous. Therefore, the treatment of AGI of thoracic aorta is particularly important. This article reviews the surgical treatment of thoracic aorta graft infections.
