Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and surgical effectiveness of the primary retroperitoneal teratoma in infants.Methods The records of 36 patients were retrospectively reviewed who were diagnosed as primary retroperitoneal teratoma and treated at the Department of Pediatric Oncology,Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between August 2015 and August 2017.The related data were collected,including gender,age,operation time,operational bleeding and tumor weight.All patients took the ultrasound,computed tomography (CT) before surgery,alpha-fetal protein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) were detected during peri-operation period.All cases were classified into 0 to Ⅲ grades according to the Norris classification (27 patients of 0 grade,1 patient of Ⅰ grade,4 patients of Ⅱ grade,4 patients of Ⅲ grade).Results There were 9 males and 27 females in the study.All patients were treated surgically at the age of 11.4 months (7 days-7 years) on the average;the mean weight of incised tumor was 736.47 g (7.90-2 355.00 g);operation time was 2.88 hours (1.08-7.06 hours);the amount of bleeding during operation was 29.11 mL (2-150 mL).All patients received follow-ups for 6.56 months (9 days-23 months) on the average.Radiographs found that tumors in 25 patients (69.4％) were located in the left side of the abdominal cavity,and the rest of them were located in the right side.In addition,tumors in 30 patients (83.3 ％) were big enough to pass across the mid-line of the body.Average pre-operation AFP was 7 593.1 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP was 1 339.5 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the mature group was 5 439.6 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP of the mature group was 1 130.6 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the immature group [11 182.3 μg/L(17.4-80 000.0 μg/L)] was higher than that of the mature group,and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.006).On the final follow-up,AFP was mean 38.3 μg/L (1.4-352.4 μg/L);among them,AFP of the mature group was mean 14.3 μg/L (1.4-43.3 μg/L),the immature group was 78.4 μg/L(1.7-325.4 μ g/L),and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.028);AFP of 4 patients in the immature group who underwent chemotherapy was 54.9 μg/L (2.6-116.6 μg/L)on the average,lower than those of post-operation AFP of 265.2 μg/L (206.8-384.1 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.042).All patients were treated surgically,and 3 cases of them received laparoscope technique;no significant relationship was proved between time of surgery and the tumor weight,location,and Norris classification(all P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of the surgical complications was 42.1％,such as tumor rupture (6 patients),vascular injury (5 patients),digestive tract damage (4 patients) and incomplete incision (1 patient).There was no death case in the serials.Conclusions Primary retroperitoneal teratoma can be completely incised.However,the complications of surgery could appear in many cases.As a predictive index for the recurrence retroperitoneal teratoma,AFP can be diminished by chemotherapy following the surgery.

Objective To observe the value of radiomics models based on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)enhanced hepatobiliary phase(HBP)MRI for assessing clinical pathological stage of hepatic fibrosis(HF).Methods Data of 240 patients with pathologically/clinically diagnosed and clinical pathological staged HF who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR examination were retrospectively analyzed.The liver-to-muscle signal intensity ratio(SIR1)and liver-to-spleen signal intensity ratio(SIR2)were measured based on HBP images.Radiomics features of HBP images were extracted and screened to construct radiomics models.The signal intensity ratio(SIR)-radiomics combined models were constructed based on SIR and radiomics signatures.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the efficacy of each model for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF.Results The area under the curve(AUC)of SIR1 and SIR2 models for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF were 0.63-0.70 and 0.65-0.71,respectively.The most effective radiomics model for assessing HF,significant HF,advanced HF and early cirrhosis was support vector machine(SVM),SVM,light gradient boosting machine and K-nearest neighbor model,respectively,with the AUC in validation set of 0.87,0.82,0.81 and 0.80,respectively,while the AUC of SIR-radiomics combined models in validation set of 0.88,0.82,0.82 and 0.81,respectively.Conclusion The radiomics models based on Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced HBP MRI were helpful for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF.Combining with HBP SIR could improve their efficacy.

Objective:To observe the extent of brain edema caused by severe cut injury and the protective role of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs).Methods:A total of 90 female C57L mice were selected and the models of severe cut injury were prepared with surgical blade. According to the random number table, the animals were divided into control group (20 mice), cut group (20 mice), interleukin-6 antibody (IL-6-AB) before cut group (administered IL-6-AB at 18 hours before cut, 15 mice), IL-6-AB after cut group (administered IL-6-AB at 1 hour after cut, 15 mice) and UC-MSCs group (20 mice). The extent of brain edema was detected, the level of IL-6 in brain tissue by ELISA method and the expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) by Western blot assay.Results:Brain water content test showed brain edema in cut group was (81.5±1.8)%, significantly higher than (77.1±2.4)% in control group ( P<0.05). Compared with cut group, brain edema in UC-MSCs group [(76.8±2.4)%] and IL-6-AB before cut group [(76.2±2.9)%] were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), while that in IL-6-AB after cut group [(82.4±1.7)%] was little decreased ( P>0.05). ELISA showed the level of IL-6 in cut group was significantly increased in mouse brain [(16.6±1.3)pg/ml], when compared with control group [(10.3±0.3)pg/ml] ( P<0.01). Compared with cut group, the levels of IL-6 in UC-MSCs group [(10.7±0.6)pg/ml] and IL-6-AB before cut group [(10.1±0.4)pg/ml] were significantly decreased ( P<0.01), while that in IL-6-AB after cut group [(14.9±1.2)pg/ml] was little decreased in mouse brain ( P>0.05). Western blot assay showed that compared with control group (1.0±0.1), the expression of AQP-4 in cut group (2.4±0.5) was significantly increased in mouse brain ( P<0.01). Compared with cut group, the expression of AQP-4 in UC-MSCs group (1.2±0.3) and IL-6-AB before cut group (1.0±0.1) were significantly decreased ( P<0.01), while that in IL-6-AB after cut group (2.3±0.3) was little decreased in mouse brain ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Severe cut injury can increase brain water content and eventually lead to brain edema through upregulating the levels of IL-6 and AQP-4 protein in the brain. Moreover, UC-MSCs effectively prevent the formation of brain edema by inhibiting the above effects.
