Objective To investigate the clinical value of single-incision laparoscopic inguinal high ligation in children with recurrent inguinal hernia . Methods Clinical data of 30 pediatric recurrent inguinal hernia cases treated with single-incision laparoscopy in our hospital between January 2011 and February 2016 were analyzed retrospectively .The patients were aged 1-11 years old (mean, 6.1 ±3.3 years old).For indirect inguinal hernia, a non-absorbable suture was placed around the extra-peritoneal space of the inguinal inner ring by means of a needle with a thread hole and a hooked needle under laparoscope , and the hernial sac was highly ligated by knotting the purse string suture .If a direct inguinal hernia was identified , a similar method was used to ligate the hernial sac , and the umbilical artery fold was sutured to the Hesselbach ' s triangle in order to enhance the weak tissue . Results After surgeries, we found 28 cases were recurrent indirect inguinal hernia (4 cases with contralateral concealed hernia ), and the other 2 cases were direct inguinal hernia .The operation time ranged from 12 to 45 min (mean, 21.4 ±8.2 min).All th cases recovered with inconspicuous scars , and no recurrence or complications were found during a follow-up for 2-53 months ( mean, 23.9 ±12.5 months). Conclusions Single-incision laparoscopic inguinal high ligation is a safe and effective procedure for children with recurrent inguinal hernia .This procedure does not cause obvious scars for patients , and can diagnose and treat the occult hernia and direct hernia at the same time .

Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopy assisted Meckel’s diverticulum resection in children. Methods Meckel’s diverticulum resection was performed under laparoscope in 12 children from October 2000 to April 2002.Two 3 mm incisions were made on the McBurney point and the midpoint between the umbilicus and the pubis,respectively.Three 3 mm trocar were introduced.When the diverticulum was found,the incision was prolonged to 2 cm long along the inferior border of the umbilicus.The lesion was removed externally and the intestine was anastomosed. Results All operations were completed smoothly under laparoscope. The intraoperative blood loss was 2~3 ml and the operation time was 1 2~2 5 h.The diverticulum was 1 cm?2 cm~3 cm?4 cm in size.The patients were dismissed 5~7 days after surgery,without obvious scar formation. Conclusions Laparoscopic Meckel’s diverticulum resection is feasible, with the advantages of the minimal invasion, rapid recovery and unobvious scars.

Objective: Our aim was to purity the modifier protein of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD) from African green monkey Vero-E6 line. Methods:Exposure of Vero-E6 cells to medium with a reduced K concentration (3.2 mmol/L) stimulated the growth and activation of G3PD. The increase of enzyme activity was mediated by a cytosolic modifier protein that was purified using affinity and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatograph. Results:The apparent molecular mass of the protein was 62 kDa. Western blotting and quantiative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the amount of modifier protein increased progressively for 2 hours in cells exposed to low-K+ medium, and then returned to the control value, a kinetic profile similar to that the modifier protein is a constituent of renal epithelial cells and accummulated transiently in the low-K+ mitogenic signal. Conclusion: We obtained a modifer protein from monkey kidney epithelial cells (Vero-E6). It could activate G3PD and cell growth.

Objective To investigate the keratin 9 gene mutation in epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) and its relationship with clinical manifestations. Methods Three Chinese pedigrees with EPPK were studied. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify the seven exons encoded by keratin 9. Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), DNA sequencing and allele-specific PCR were used to reveal the sequence variation in the PCR products. Results An insertion-deletion mutation in the exon 1 of keratin 9 497delAinsGGCT, was revealed in all 3 EPPK families, resulting in the keratin 9 change from tyrosine166 to tryptophan and leucine (Y166delinsWL). Allele-specific PCR confirmed that the mutation was not a commonly seen polymorphism, but a novel mutation which has not been reported in The Human Intermediate Filament Mutation Database (http://www.interfil.org). Conclusions A new keratin 9 gene mutation, 497delAinsGGCT, is found in these Chinese EPPK pedigrees, which may be the genetic basis of EPPK.

Objective To explore the computed tomography (CT) features of gastric cancer invasion to the pancreas and significance in the assessment of resectability of primary lesions.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinical data of 31 gastric cancer patients who were admitted to the Peking University Cancer Hospital between February 2011 and August 2016 were collected.Of 31 patients receiving CT examinations,11 who were diagnosed with suspected pancreas invasion by preoperative CT examinations but operation confirmed no invasion were allocated into the pancreas negative (PN) group,11 who were confirmed as pancreas invasion and under vent radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer combined with pancreas resection were allocated into the pancreas invasion (PI) group,and 9 who were confirmed as pancreas invasion and had unresectable primary lesions were allocated into the pancreas invasion non-resected (PI-NR) group.Observation indicators:(1) morphologic type of contact surface between gastric cancer and pancreas;(2) comparison of CT findings among the 3 groups:primary lesion location,tunor thickness,Borrmann type,serosa pattern of gastric cancer,judging obvious region invaded by gastric cancer,contact or invasion site with pancreas,contact length between gastric cancer and pancreas,pattern,clarity and CT values of contact surface or peripancreas invaded and normal peripancreas;(3) treatment or follow-up situations.All the patients underwent radical resection and palliative resection for gastric cancer or non-operation according to results of exploration.Telephone interview was performed to detect the survival of patients up to February 2017.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (Qn),and comparisons among groups were done by the Kruskal-Wallis test.Comparison of count data were done by the Fisher exact probability.Results (1) Morphologic type of contact surface between gastric cancer and pancreas:there were 4 types according to results of CT examination.Type Ⅰ.pancreas contacted with gastric cancer and there was no change in the morphology and radian of contact surface.Type Ⅱ:pancreas contacted with gastric cancer and radian of contact surface became flattened or shallow depression.Type Ⅲ:contact surface showed a inserted sign or obvious depression.Type Ⅳ:pancreas didn't contact with gastric cancer and there was increased density in fat space between pancreas and gastric cancer,with a smudge sign or strip-and sheet-like opacity.Of 31 patients,type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were detected in 5,10,4 and 12 patients,respectively.(2) Comparison of CT findings among the 3 groups:nodular protrusion,spiculation and strip shape,clounding patch opacity of serosa panern of gastric cancer were detected in 1,6,4 patients in the PN group and 5,4,2 patients in the PⅠ group and 0,2,7 patients in the PI-NR group,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (X2=10.054,P<0.05).Two,8 and 8 patients in the PN,PI and PI-NR groups had obvious tumor invasion located at a adjacent region between stomach and pancreas,with a statistically significant difference (X2 =11.259,P<0.05).Contact or invasion site with pancreas located at head,body and tail of pancreas was detected in 6,5,0 patients in the PN group and 1,7,3 patients in the PI group and 5,4,0 patients in the PI-NR group,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (X2=8.390,P<0.05).Type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ of contact surface between gastric cancer and pancreas were detected in 5,6,0,0 patients in the PN group and 0,4,4,3 patients in the PI group and 0,0,0,9 patients in the PI-NR group,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (X2=29.291,P<0.05).Number of patients with clear and ambiguous contact surface was 10,1 patients in the PN group and 0,11 patients in the PI group and 0,9 patients in the PI-NR group,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (X2 =26.227,P< 0.05).CT values of contact surface or peripancreas invaded were-46 HU (-57 HU,-20 HU) in the PN group and-34 HU (-41 HU,-25 HU) in the PI group and-10 HU (-15 HU,-10 HU) in the PI-NR group,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (Z=15.306,P<0.05).CT values of normal peripancreas were-87 HU (-96 HU,-76 HU) in the PN group and-88HU (-70 HU,-1 HU) in the PI group and-83 HU (-98 HU,-74 HU) in the PI-NR group,respectively,with statistically significant differences in CT values between contact surface or peripancreas invaded and normal peripancreas among the 3 groups (Z=12.581,13.780,7.793,P<0.05).(3) Treatment or followup situations:of 31 patients,22 underwent radical gastrectomy and 9 underwent simplex exploration or short surgery.All the 31 patients were followed up for 6.0-71.0 months,with a median time of 13.5 months.Postoperative 1-and 2-year survival rates were 82.6% and 77.1%.Conclusions There are significant differences in pancreatic invasion and resectability between CT features of contact surface of gastric cancer and pancreas and tumor classification.CT features include that pancreas contacts with gastric cancer in the PN group,radian of contact surface becomes flattened and with a inserted sign in the PI group,and there are increased density in fat space between pancreas and gastric cancer and a smudge sign or strip-and sheet-like opacity in the PI-NR group.

Objective To investigate the multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) evaluating the clinical staging of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study conducted.The clinicopathological data of 46 AEG patients who were admitted to the Peking University Cancer Hospital between January 2016 and April 2018 were collected.All patients underwent MDCT before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and at preoperative 2 weeks,the distance between tumor center and boundary of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) was judged through coronal measured values and axial formula method.Patients underwent radical resection of gastric cancer + D2 lymph node dissection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy,pathologists reviewed the distance between center of AEG and boundary of EGJ,T staging (ycT) and N staging (ycN) of clinical staging,T staging (ypT) and N staging (ypN) of pathological staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were determined according to TNM staging of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) (8th edition),and tumor regression grading (TRG) was determined according to the criterion established by National Comprehensive Cancer Network.Observation indicators:(1) CT examination after neoadjuvant chemotherapy;(2) clinical staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy;(3) postoperative pathological examination;(4) postoperative pathological staging;(5) accuracy of clinical staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy;(6)relationship between imaging changes of CT examination and pathological reactions.Count data were described as absolute number or percentage,and comparisons among groups were analyzed by the chi-square test.Comparisons of ordinal data were analyzed by the non-parametric test.Results (1) CT examination after neoadjuvant chemotherapy:5 of 46 AEG patients,coronal images of CT showed whole tumor and boundary of EGJ,axial images of CT showed EGJ wall thickening,heterogeneous enhancement in all layers of lesions,and unsmooth serosal surface;the distance between tumor center and boundary of EGJ is less than 2 cm by direct measurement,5 patients were confirmed as esophageal cancer staging.For 41 patients,the same coronal image of CT cannot showed whole tumor and boundary of EGJ,axial images of CT showed EGJ wall thickening,heterogeneous enhancement in all layers of lesions,and irregular-shaped serosal surface;27 patients whose calculated values were negative based on formula method used esophageal cancer staging,and 14 patients whose calculated values were positive used gastric staging.(2) Clinical staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy:among 46 AEG patients,ycT staging:staging ycT1,ycT2,ycT3,ycT4a and ycT4b were respectively detected in 1,6,31,6 and 2 patients;ycN staging:staging ycN0,ycN1,ycN2 and ycN3a were respectively detected in 5,14,23 and 4 patients.(3) Postoperative pathological examination:of 46 patients,38,3,3 and 2 were respectively confirmed as adenocarcinoma,adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine carcinoma and adenocarcinoma with squamous carcinoma.Of 46 patients,the distance between tumor center and boundary of EGJ can be observed in 14 patients by gastric cancer staging and 32 patients by esophageal cancer staging.(4) Postoperative pathological staging:ypT staging:1,3,5,29,7 and 1 patients were respectively detected in staging ypT0,ypT1,ypT2,ypT3,ypT4a and ypT4b;ypN staging:17,4,15,9 and 1 patients were respectively detected in staging ypN0,ypN1,ypN2,ypN3a and ypN3b.One,3,16 and 26 patients were confirmed as staging TRG 0,TRG 1,TRG 2 and TRG 3,including 20 patients tumor regression and 26 patients without tumor regression.(5) Accuracy of clinical staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy:the accuracies of ycT staging and ycN staging were 78.3% (36/46) and 54.3% (25/46).(6) Relationship between imaging changes of CT examination and pathological reactions:of 46 patients,33 and 13 had respectively reduced and stable gastric wall thickness of primary lesion.Among 20 patients with tumor regression,17 and 3 had respectively reduced and stable gastric wall thickness of primary lesion;of 26 patients without tumor regression,reduced and stable gastric wall thickness of primary lesion were respectively in 16 and 10 patients,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =3.069,P>0.05).Of 46 patients,31,14 and 1 had respectively reduced,stable and increased sum of minor diameters of suspicious celiac lymph nodes.The reduced,stable and increased sum of minor diameters of suspicious celiac lymph nodes were detected in 16,4,0 of 20 patients with tumor regression and 15,10,1 of 26 patients without tumor regression,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (Z =-1.629,P> 0.05).The changes of gastric wall thickness of primary lesion and sum of minor diameters of celiac lymph nodes before operation were not consistent to that after operation in 3 patients.CT examination showed gastric wall thickness of primary lesion reduced after chemotherapy,and sum of minor diameters of celiac lymph nodes didn't change;pathological staging and clinical staging were respectively in staging ypN0 and ycN1.Conclusion According to the TNM staging of AJCC (Sth edition),the distance between tumor center and boundary of EGJ is judged through coronal measured values and axial formula method and therefore determining to select staging system of esophageal cancer or gastric cancer,meanwhile,rectifying over T3 staging of Siewert Ⅱ gastric cancer and increasing overall accuracy of clinical staging.
