Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrasound - guided sclerosing agent lauromacrogol injection in treating lymph leakage. Methods A total of 31 patients with postoperative lymph leakage were selected for this study. Of the 31 patients, successful conservative oppression treatment was accomplished in 16, and lauromacrogol injection had to be carried out in 15 as conservative oppression treatment failed. The patients were followed up and the results were analyzed. Results In 15 patients receiving lauromacrogol injection treatment, complete cure of lymph leak was obtained in 14 with a success rate of 93.33%. Among the 14 cases, the second lauromacrogol injection was employed in 3 at one week after the first injection. Infection occurred in another case one day after the injection , which was cured after dressing change for 15 days. Conclusion For the treatment of lymph leakage, ultrasound-guided sclerosing agent lauromacrogol injection is effective and safe.

Objective To determine the median effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanyl inhibiting cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation in women with preeclampsia. Methods Thirty women with preeclampsia were enrolled in this study. The target Ce was set at 3 ng/mL. The positive cardiovascular response was defined as the blood pressure≥160/110 mmHg. The EC50 (95%confidence interva1) of cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation was calculated by Probit analysis. Results EC50 (95% confidence interval) of remifentanyl inhibiting cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation was 1.93 (1.89~1.95) ng/mL. Conclusion EC50 of remifentanyl inhibiting cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation is 1.93 ng/mL in women with preeclampsia.

Background and objective P53 is a tumor protein that acts as a tumor suppressor. Te mutation of P53 may cause loss of tumor suppressor functions and gain of functions favoring cellular proliferation and apoptosis inhibition. Te clinical implications of the tumor protein P53 gene (TP53) mutation in lung adenocarcinoma are indefinite. Te aim of this study is to explore the clinical significance of the mutant P53 protein expression in lung adenocarcinoma tissues. Methods Te clinicopathological data of 120 lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Te mu-tant P53 protein expression was detected using the immunohistochemical method. Furthermore, the relationship between the mutant P53 expression and the clinicopathological parameters was analyzed using the Chi-square test, whereas that between the mutant P53 expression and overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. Re-sults Te mutant P53 protein expression rate was 63.3%. Accordingly, the mutant P53 expression was significantly associated with tumor size (P=0.041) and clinicopathological stage (P=0.025). On the one hand, a univariate survival analysis showed that tumor size (P=0.031), lymph node metastasis (P<0.001), clinicopathological stage (P<0.001), and mutant P53 expression (P=0.038) were associated with overall survival. On the other hand, a multivariate survival analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (P=0.014) was an independent poor prognostic factor for overall survival. Conclusion Patients with lung adeno-carcinoma with mutant TP53 had a poor outcome. Accordingly, the mutant P53 protein may serve as a molecular prognosis marker for lung adenocarcinoma patients.

【Objective】 To explore the expression of PCDH9 loss in regulating cell cycle and promoting tumor progression. 【Methods】 The clinical records of 127 cases of prostate cancer treated during 2018 and 2023 were collected, including 87 paraffin tissue samples from the G4-5 group and 40 from the G1-3 group. The expressions of PCDH9, p53, Rb and STAT3 were detected with immunohistochemical staining, and the relationship between their expressions and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. 【Results】 The expression deletion rate of PCDH9 in prostate cancer tissues in G4-5 group (44.8% vs.7.5%) was significantly higher than that in G1-3 group (P<0.001). The positive expression rates of p53 and STAT3 were 34.5% and 89.7%, respectively, and the expression loss rate of Rb was 27.6% in G4-5 group. The expression loss rates of PCDH9 and Rb were associated with neuroendocrine-like histological morphology, nerve invasion and vascular invasion (P<0.05). In G4-5 group of prostate cancer, PCDH9 expression was positively correlated with the expressions of p53 (r=0.345, P<0.05), Rb (r=0.503, P<0.05) and STAT3 (r=0.224, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 PCDH9 is prone to loss of expression in high-group prostate cancer tissues, especially in cases with neuroendocrine-like histological morphology, which may regulate the cell cycle through the STAT3 signaling pathway, thereby promoting tumor progression.
