Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a group of solid tumors with high malignant degree and poor prognosis. Surgical resection has still been the main therapy options. Targeting therapy and immunotherapy are the main anti-tumor methods that have been paid more and more attention in recent years, especially immunotherapy. The tumor microenvironment of CCA is complex, which encompasses not only interstitial and endothelial cells, but also a large number of immune cells. In addition, the innate and adaptive immune systems also play a role. This article summarizes the immune-related studies of cholangiocarcinoma and the latest clinical trials of immunotherapy.

Objective To design and express a novel peptide based on ricin toxin antibody in E. coli, and to evaluate its biological activity. Methods Based on the crystal structure of ricin toxin A chain (RTA) and the RTA-rRNA interact in the complex model, the steric conformation of RTA was theoretical modeled and its functional domain was preliminarily determined. The humanized single-domain RTA antibody was designed rationally by computer-guidod molecular design method. Its coding sequence was ob- tained by overlapping extension PCR, and cloned into the pET-32a vector. The fusion protein was then ex-pressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), identified by Western blot, and purified with Ni-NTA agarose. The binding and neutralizing activity of this novel peptide for riein was evaluated by competitive ELlSA assay and MTT assay. Results A recombinant human single-domain antibody expressing a polypeptide against RTA in the CDR3 loop was designed. The fusion protein was successfully expressed in E. coll. The purified protein can bind to ricin, and neutralize its activity in SP2/0 viability assay. Conclusion The success of the novel pep-tide based on riein toxin antibody provides a novel method to develop new generation of ricin antagonists.

Objective:To report a Chinese family with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation at c.332T>G (p.V111G) site and discuss its clinical characteristics and molecular mechanism.Methods:The clinical data, laboratory examination, and imaging examination results were analyzed to make the clinical diagnosis of a middle-aged onset patient from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in May 2017. High-throughput sequencing was used to discover a novel ABCD1 gene mutation. Sanger sequencing was used to find out whether other family members contain the same ABCD1 gene mutation. The pathogenicity of this mutation was explored by protein structure prediction and pathogenicity analysis. Adrenoleukodystrophy protein-green fluorescent protein (ALDP-GFP) and ALDP-GFP (V111G) plasmids were constructed and human embryonic kidney 293 cells were transfected, then immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to explore the molecular mechanism of this mutation (completed in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital).Results:The proband (a 39-year-old male) was diagnosed as adrenomyeloneuropathy, a subset of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, with a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the ABCD1 gene at c.332T>G (p.V111G) site, and his mother and two daughters were all carriers. Protein structure prediction and pathogenicity results suggested that this mutation is pathogenic. Overexpression of ALDP-GFP (V111G) in the human embryonic kidney 293 cells resulted in a significant decrease in the expression levels of ALDP and the abnormal localization from the peroxisomal membrane to the cytoplasm, accompanied by significant down-regulation of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and beclin-1.Conclusion:c.332T>G (p.V111G) is a novel pathogenic mutation in the ABCD1 gene, which causes adrenomyeloneuropathy by impairing autophagy.

Objective To evaluate the application values of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) combined with neuronavigation in microsurgery of insular gliomas. Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with insular gliomas, admitted to our hospital from March 2013 to October 2017, were analyzed retrospectively. All DTT images were transferred to the neuronavigation system, and the three-dimensional location of tumors and pyramidal tracts were re-constructed. Surgical approaches were designed and excision scopes were defined before the surgery. Techniques on how to distinguish and protect the key blood vessels and pyramidal tracts were discussed. The treatment efficacies were analyzed. Results Total lesion resection was achieved in 22 patients (81.5％), subtotal resection in 4 (14.8％ ), and partial resection in one (3.7％ ). Postoperative pathology indicated 7 were oligodendrogliomas, and 20 were astrocytomas, including WHO grade I in one, grade II in 18, and grade III in one. One patient had transient aphasia (recovery after two weeks), 2 experienced worsened hemiplegia on opposite side of their bodies (normal after one month), and the left 24 patients remained intact function after operation. Conclusions The combination of DTT and neuronavigation is safe and effective in surgical treatment for insular gliomas, which can protect the brain function at greatest degree and maximize lesion resection, and improve the postoperative quality of life.

Gallbladder cancer is a high malignancy which is predisposed to invade adjacent organs and have lymph node metastasis. Gallbladder cancer is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy with the worst prognosis among biliary tract cancers. At present, radical resection is the only possible method to cure gallbladder cancer. However, there are still many controversies about the surgical strategies, the extent of liver resection and lymph node dissection, and the treatment of incidental gallbladder cancer. In addition, under the background of the great success of immunotherapy and targeted therapy in a variety of solid tumors, it is also a question worthy of further considerations that whether the status of surgery in the treatment of advanced gallbladder cancer will be changed in the near future.

Benign gallbladder diseases are common in general surgery practice, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the standard treatment for these conditions. With the widespread adoption of LC and the improved understanding of gallbladder disease, it is necessary to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease. Based on the latest expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease, this review aims to provide an overview of the diagnostic and treatment strategies for benign gallbladder diseases. Specifically, it focuses on enhancing our understanding of the role of benign gallbladder diseases in the development of gallbladder cancer, the impact of congenital biliary anomalies on the diagnostic and treatment processes of benign gallbladder diseases, and the significance of the preoperative examinations.
