Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of survivin and PTEN in bladder transitional cell carcinoma(TCC).Methods The expression of survivin and PTEN was studied by S-P immunohistochemisty in 10 cases of normal urinary bladder tissues and 62 cases of the bladder TCC. Results All the normal urinary bladder tissues showed positive staining pattern of PTEN protein, negative staining pattern of survivin protein, positive rate of PTEN in 62 cases of the bladder TCC is 46.8%,the difference of positive rate between grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅲ was significant(P＜0.05),the difference of positive rate between Tis～T_1 and T_2～T_4 showed a trend of decreasing, but there was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05);positive rate of survivin in 62 cases of the bladder TCC is 56.5%,the difference of positive rate between grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅲ was significant(P＜0.05),the difference of positive rate between Tis～T_1 and T_2～T_4 was significant too(P＜0.05).The expression of PTEN protein and survivin protein was reversely correlated(P＜0.05).Conclusion The abnormal expression of PTEN protein and survivin protein play an important role in the occurrence and progress of the bladder TCC.It can be regarded as a useful diagnostic marker in the bladder TCC.

Objective To analyze the mid- and long-term results after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), to evaluate the accuracy of multi-detector CT coronary angiography (MDCT) on the graft patency status and to compare the patency for different grafts. Methods One hundred and one cases underwent CABG from June 1992 to March 2008 were followed up by searching the database of MDCT (42 cases) and selective coronary angiography (SCA, 59 cases). The mean following up period was (66.79 ±44.27) months. Three hundreds and 10 grafts including 115 arterial and 195 venous were analyzed.A comparison of the patency rate between the arterial and venous grafts was also carried out. At the mean time, 2 groups were divided according to the paft lesions( patency of not). Uunivariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were made for statistics. Results At the follow-up of (53.93 ± 36.80) months, the patent rate of LIMA, RA, SV and CV examined by MDCT was 94.7%, 92.0%, 85.9% and 60.0%, respectively. The patent rate for MDCT patients with angina was 83.5%, and 95.2% for angina-free group ( P = 0.046). At the follow-up of (75.95 ±47.09) months, the patent rate of LIMA, RA, SV and CV examined by SCA was 87.1%, 81.0%, 53.6% and 57. 1%, respectively. In SCA patients the patent rate was 62.0% for angina group and 100% for angina-free group ( P = 0.025 ). According to logistic regression analysis, only the postoperative period was statistically related to the graft lesion. Conclusion MDCT could find out the occlusions and obvious stenoses of the grafts after CABG. It might be served as a noninvasive method to evaluate the grafts patency postoperatively. The mid- and long-term patency of arterial grafts is better than venous grafts. Graft lesion is an important factor leading to postoperative recurrent angina pectoris. The severity of the graft lesion has a close relation to the lenth of postoperative period.

Objective:To inspect the relationship between the therapeutic effect of DHA on lupus nephritis and the negative immune regulation of TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway which was induced by SIGIRR;in vitro,to observe the effect of DHA on damaged HK-2 cell.Methods: In vivo,MRL/lpr mice were divided in model group,DHA groups(25,50,100 mg/kg),positive group (prednisone,5 mg/kg),and C57BL/6 mice were taken as control group.Administrate drugs daily for 12 weeks.Examine the changes in renal pathology;the expression of SIGIRR,IRAK1,TRAF6 in kidneys were determined by Western blot.In vitro,treat human renal tubular epithelial cell HK-2 cells with LPS ,and co-culture cells with DHA at the concentration of 0.67 μg/ml to 6.00 μg/ml for 6 h, 12 h and 24 h.Detect SIGIRR expression by Western blot and the level of IL-6 and CCL2 of HK-2 cells by ELISA.Results:In vivo, renal pathology revealed that kidneys of model group were damaged , while treatment with 100 mg/kg DHA alleviated renal injury.Compared to model group ,SIGIRR expression of DHA 100 mg/kg group increased a little ,and the expression of this protein had a tendency to increase with the augment of DHA dose .In vitro,DHA treatment reduced secretion of CCL 2 in HK-2 cells,and treatment of 0.67 μg/ml DHA for 24 h increased SIGIRR expression significantly , which also showed a growing expression with time.Conclusion:DHA could inhibit development of mouse lupus nephritis through increasing SIGIRR expression which inhibited TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway;DHA inhibited CCL2 secretion of HK-2 cells which were irritated by LPS ,and it may be associated with increased expression of SIGIRR .

Objective:The residual cancer burden (RCB) evaluation system was used to analyze the influencing factors of the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer, and to explore the prognostic value of RCB evaluation in neoadjuvant therapy.Methods:Clinicopathologic data and postoperative RCB grading of 364 breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from Nov. 2019 to Nov. 2022 were collected. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between RCB grading and clinicopathological parameters, and Spearman’s rank correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between RCB grading and clinicopathological characteristics. Factors influencing pathologic complete response (pCR) were analyzed by Logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test were used to evaluate cumulative survival.Results:Among the 364 patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy, 129 cases of RCB grade 0 and 235 cases of RCB gradeⅠ-Ⅲ (including 46 cases of RCB gradeⅠ, 109 cases of RCB grade Ⅱ and 80 cases of RCB grade Ⅲ) were obtained after surgery. Histological classification ( χ 2=21.757, P=0.000), estrogen receptor (ER) ( χ 2=52.837, P=0.000), progesterone receptor (PR) ( χ 2=55.658, P=0.000), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) ( χ2=89.040, P=0.000), Ki67 expression ( χ2=12.927, P=0.005), molecular typing ( χ 2=80.793, P=0.000) and preoperative lymph node status ( χ 2=25.764, P=0.000) were all associated with postoperative RCB grading. Further correlation analysis showed that histological grade ( r=-0.229, P=0.000), HER2 expression ( r=-0.465, P=0.000) and Ki67 expression ( r=-0.179, P=0.000) were negatively correlated with RCB grading, while ER ( r=0.352, P=0.000), PR ( r=0.379, P=0.000) and lymph node metastasis ( r=0.214, P=0.000) were positively correlated with RCB grading. Logistic regression analysis showed that high histological grade, negative expression of ER, PR and AR, positive expression of HER2, high proliferation index of Ki67 and no lymph node metastasis were favorable factors for postoperative pCR, and PR, AR and HER2 were independent predictors of postoperative pCR. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significant differences in postoperative cumulative survival among patients with different RCB grades ( P=0.004) . Conclusions:Postoperative RCB grading of breast cancer is closely related to many clinicopathological features before neoadjuvant therapy and survival prognosis. Clinicopathological factors closely related to RCB grading are also important influencing factors affecting the pCR of patients with neoadjuvant therapy. Therefors, RCB grading has a high prognostic value.

Objective:To explore the advantages of the novel individualized 3D printing artificial vertebral body in spine reconstruction and to evaluate its clinical effect.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, the 15 patients who underwent total vertebrectomy and spine reconstruction with individualized 3D printing artificial vertebral body were analyzed retrospectively. There were 8 males and 7 females, with the mean age 39.5 years (range: 20-57), including 12 primary tumors and 3 metastatic tumors. According to tumor location and surrounding soft tissue invasion range, simple posterior or combined anterior and posterior approach were used for total vertebral resection, and the defection was reconstructed by 3D printing artificial vertebral body. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative stability of artificial vertebral body and bone ingrowth of adjacent vertebral body, preoperative and postoperative neurological changes, preoperative and postoperative VAS score, local control and survival of patients were analyzed.Results:The mean operation time was 412.0 min (range: 135-740 min), and the mean blood loss was 4 140.0ml (range: 100-14 000 ml). The mean follow-up time was 23.2 months (range: 12-35 months), and no one loss to follow-up. One case had pleural rupture, one case had cerebrospinal fluid leakage and one case had L5 nerve root palsy. All patients recovered after active symptomatic treatment. Compare with the preoperative VAS score (4.7±1.1), the differences of VAS score at 7 d postoperative and last follow-up (1.6±0.6 and 1.0±0.5) were significantly reduced ( P<0.001). Three patients with Frankel grade C gradually recovered to grade D, and no change were found in grade D and Grade E patients, there was no significant improved at last follow-up. Preliminary bone growth was found between the artificial vertebral body and the adjacent vertebral body 3 months after operation. The bone growth was more obvious at 12 months post-operation, and the artificial vertebral body fused with the adjacent vertebral bodies to form bone integration. At 24 months post-operation, the integration of the artificial vertebral body was more accurate. During the follow-up period, there was no loosening or displacement of the artificial vertebral body and no failure of internal fixation. A case of hemangioendothelioma and a case of epithelioid angiosarcoma died at 33 months and 35 months postoperatively. One patient with chondrosarcoma had local recurrence at16 months post-operation. After treated with arotinib, the tumor did not progress. The other 12 patients had no tumor recurrence or distant metastasis. Conclusion:After spinal tumor resection, individualized 3D printing artificial vertebral body can be used to accurate restoration of spinal continuity, and provide nice interface matching and bone growth between artificial vertebral body and the adjacent vertebral endplates. Moreover, the immediate and long-term stability of the artificial vertebral body can meet the needs of spinal reconstruction.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer among women worldwide, and therefore, improved approaches for its early detection are urgently needed. As microRNAs (miRNAs) are increasingly recognized as critical regulators in tumorigenesis and possess excellent stability in plasma, this study focused on using miRNAs to develop a method for identifying noninvasive biomarkers. METHODS: To discover critical candidates, differential expression analysis was performed on tissue-originated miRNA profiles of 409 early breast cancer patients and 87 healthy controls from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We selected candidates from the differentially expressed miRNAs and then evaluated every possible molecular signature formed by the candidates. The best signature was validated in independent serum samples from 113 early breast cancer patients and 47 healthy controls using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The miRNA candidates in our method were revealed to be associated with breast cancer according to previous studies and showed potential as useful biomarkers. When validated in independent serum samples, the area under curve of the final miRNA signature (miR-21-3p, miR-21-5p, and miR-99a-5p) was 0.895. Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 97.9% and 73.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The present study established a novel and effective method to identify biomarkers for early breast cancer. And the method, is also suitable for other cancer types. Furthermore, a combination of three miRNAs was identified as a prospective biomarker for breast cancer early detection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of tanshinone I (T-I) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) in mice. MethodsA total of 36 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham-operation group, ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group, IR+T-I (5 mg/kg) group, IR+T-I (10 mg/kg) group, IR+T-I (20 mg/kg) group, and IR+T-I (40 mg/kg) group, with 6 mice in each group. Each group was given intraperitoneal injection. The mice in the sham-operation group and the IR group were injected with an equal volume of the solvent olive oil; the mice in the IR+T-I groups were administered once a day for 7 consecutive days, a model of 70% HIRI was established at 2 hours after the last administration, and serum and liver samples were collected after 6 hours of reperfusion. Related kits were used to measure the serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and the content of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), caspase-3, and reduced glutathione (GSH) in liver tissue; HE staining was used to observe liver histopathology; the TUNEL method was used to measure the level of hepatocyte apoptosis; immunohistochemistry was used to measure the protein expression of caspase-3 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the IR group, the IR+T-I (20mg/kg) group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT (192.48±23.67 U/L vs 336.90±41.52 U/L, P＜0.01) and AST (123.19±9.16 U/L vs 206.90±18.81 U/L, P＜0.01), and thus 20 mg/kg was determined as the optimal concentration. Compared with the IR group, the IR+T-I (20 mg/kg) group had significant reductions in MDA (1.34±0.21 μmol/mg vs 3.48±0.95 μmol/mg, P＜0.05) and caspase-3 (0.69±0.97 μmol/mg vs 1.04±0.35 μmol/mg, P＜0.05) and significant increases in SOD (274.47±30.53 U/mg vs 160.29±27.37 U/mg, P＜0.05) and GSH (2.12±0.27 μmol/mg vs 1.03±0.42 μmol/mg, P＜0.05). HE staining showed that the IR group had disordered structure of hepatic lobules and focal or extensive degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes; compared with the IR group, the IR+T-I (20 mg/kg) group had a reduction in the area of hepatocyte necrosis and a basically complete structure of the liver. Immunohistochemistry showed that compared with the IR group, the IR+T-I (20 mg/kg) group had significant reductions in the number of apoptotic hepatocytes and the protein expression of caspase-3 and a significant increase in the protein expression of HO-1. ConclusionT-I exerts a protective effect against HIRI in mice by inhibiting liver oxidative stress response and hepatocyte apoptosis.

Objective:To construct a diabetic foot classification prediction model based on radiomics features of fundus photographs.Methods:A total of 2 035 fundus photographs of patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed at Nanfang Hospital between December 2011 and December 2018 were retrospectively collected [282 photographs from patients with diabetic foot(DF), and 1 753 from patients with diabetes mellitus(DM)]. All fundus photographs were randomly divided into a training set(1 424 photos) and a test set(611 photos) using a computer generated random number at 7∶3. After pre-processing the fundus photographs, a total of 4 128 texture features based on the gray matrix were extracted by the Radiomic toolkit, and 11 339 other features were extracted using the ToolboxDESC toolkit. The LASSO algorithm was used to select the 30 features most relevant to DF, and then the Bootstrap + 0.632 self-sampling method was used to further select the 7 best combinations. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the regression coefficients and establish the final diabetic foot classification prediction model. ROC curve was drawn, and AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the training and test sets were calculated to verify its prediction performance. Results:We screened 7 fundus radiomics markers for diabetic foot patients, and based on this established a DF/DM classification prediction model. The AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the model were 0.958 6, 0.984 0, 0.920 0, and 0.928 0 in the training set, and 0.927 1, 0.988 9, 0.881 0, and 0.896 9 in the test set, respectively.Conclusion:In this study, seven DF fundus markers were screened using radiomics technology. Based on this, a highly accurate and easy-to-use DF/DM classification model was constructed. This technology has the potential to increase the efficiency of DF screening programs.
