Objective:To study the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic full-thickness resection(EFR) in the treatment of large gastric stromal tumors with diameter of 5-7 cm.Methods:Data of 36 patients with large gastric stromal tumors (5-7 cm) who received EFR or surgery (including laparoscopic and open surgery) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and confirmed by postoperative histopathology from January 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into endoscopic group (9 cases) and surgical group (27 cases) according to different resection methods. The perioperative indicators and the total incidence of complications in the two groups were compared.Results:In terms of perioperative indicators, the median operation time of the endoscopic group was significantly longer than that of the surgical group (4.0 hours VS 2.0 hours, P<0.01), and the postoperative fasting time (4.55±0.88 days VS 6.22±2.24 days, t=-2.15, P=0.03) and hospital stay (6.88±1.26 days VS 10.03±2.90 days, t=-3.13, P<0.01) were significantly shorter than those of the surgical group. The median visual analogue scores (VAS) of abdominal pain of the endoscopic group on the first postoperative day (3 VS 6, P<0.01)and the third postoperative day (1 VS 3, P<0.01) were significantly lower than those of the surgical group. The hospitalization cost was significantly less than that of the surgical group (55±14.7 thousand yuan VS 73±24.3 thousand yuan, t=-2.11, P=0.04). In term of the total incidence of complications, the endoscopic group was 11.1% (1/9), which was higher than that of the surgical group [7.4% (2/27)], but there was no statistically significant difference( P=1.00). Conclusion:EFR is safe and effective in the treatment of large gastric stromal tumors (5-7 cm), and has the advantages of less invasiveness, rapid postoperative recovery, and lower hospitalization cost. But how to shorten the operation time is an urgent problem to be solved.

Objective To investigate correlation between QT interval(QT),corrected QT interval(QTc) and metabolic syndrome(MS). Methods Residents who participated in our survey concerning atherosclerosis and related diseases conducted in Shenyang were included. They accomplished questionnaire,physical examination, laboratory tests and electrocardiography test. We divided them into MS group and non-metabolic syndrome (NMS)group according to International Diabetes Federation(IDF)diagnostic criteria for MS. QT interval was measured from the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram. QTc was calculated by using Bazett and Fridericia equations. We analyze correlation of QT ,QTc and MS. Results A total of 739 residents who were 35~64 years old were included. Individuals with MS had longer QTcB and QTcF than NMS group[(415.8 ± 31.9)ms vs.(410.1 ± 32.1)ms, (407.2± 29.1)ms vs.(402.6 ± 28.8)ms,P<0.05]. The more the number of abnormal MS parameters they had, the longer the QT,QTcB and QTcF they had. Regression analysis showed that QT was associated with serum potassium,smoking,blood glucose,and LDL,and QTcB and QTcF were associated with hypertension,waist circumference and blood potassium. Conclusions MS is associated with corrected QTc. Careful ECG monitoring among persons with MS for early detection of a long corrected QT interval may prevent severe and often fatal arrhythmias or sudden death.

This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of inhibiting protein arginine methyltransferase 5(PRMT5)in cisplatin-induced hearing loss.The effects of PRMT5 inhibition on cisplatin-induced auditory injury were determined using immunohistochemistry,apoptosis assays,and auditory brainstem response.The mechanism of PRMT5 inhibition on hair cell survival was assessed using RNA-seq and Cleavage Under Targets and Tagment-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(CUT&Tag-qPCR)analyses in the HEI-OC1 cell line.Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5 significantly alleviated cisplatin-induced damage to hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea and decreased apoptosis by protecting mitochondrial function and preventing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species.CUT&Tag-qPCR analysis demonstrated that inhibition of PRMT5 in HEI-OC1 cells reduced the accumulation of H4R3me2s/H3R8me2s marks at the promoter region of the Pik3ca gene,thus activating the expression of Pik3ca.These findings suggest that PRMT5 inhibitors have strong potential as agents against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and can lay the foundation for further research on treatment strategies of hearing loss.

Cisplatin-related ototoxicity is a critical side effect of chemotherapy and can lead to irreversible hearing loss. This study aimed to assess the potential effect of the DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor RG108 on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Immunohistochemistry, apoptosis assay, and auditory brainstem response (ABR) were employed to determine the impacts of RG108 on cisplatin-induced injury in murine hair cells (HCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Rhodamine 123 and TMRM were utilized for mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) assessment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) amounts were evaluated by Cellrox green and Mitosox-red probes. Mitochondrial respiratory function evaluation was performed by determining oxygen consumption rates (OCRs). The results showed that RG108 can markedly reduce cisplatin induced damage in HCs and SGNs, and alleviate apoptotic rate by protecting mitochondrial function through preventing ROS accumulation. Furthermore, RG108 upregulated BCL-2 and downregulated APAF1, BAX, and BAD in HEI-OC1 cells, and triggered the PI3K/AKT pathway. Decreased expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and high methylation of the LRP1 promoter were observed after cisplatin treatment. RG108 treatment can increase LRP1 expression and decrease LRP1 promoter methylation. In conclusion, RG108 might represent a new potential agent for preventing hearing loss induced by cisplatin via activating the LRP1-PI3K/AKT pathway.
