AIM:To evaluate the effect of microRNA-155(miRNA-155) on the regulation of angiogenesis in diabetic rats with cerebral ischemic injury .METHODS: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:sham group, cerebral ischemia group , diabetic cerebral ischemia group , diabetic cerebral ischemia +miRNA-155 inhibitors group and diabetic cerebral ischemia +scramble group .Diabetes model was made by injection of streptozocin and permanent cerebral ischemic model was developed by suture-occluded method .The scores of neurological deficit and infarct volume were estimated at 24 h after cerebral ischemia .miRNA-155 level was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 ( PECAM-1/CD31 ) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) was detected by Western blotting .RESULTS:miRNA-155 inhibitor significantly reduced miRNA-155 levels in the ischemic cortex (P<0.05), improved the scores of neurological deficit , reduced infarction size and up-regulated the levels of CD31 and VEGF (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:miRNA-155 has a critical role in the regulation of angiogenesis in diabetic rats with cerebral ischemia .Down-regulation of miRNA-155 using miRNA-155 inhibitor attenuates brain infarct injury in diabetic rats .

Objective This study was aimed to analysis the relationship of BK polyomavirus ( BKV) and hemorrhagic cystitis ( HC ) in patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Methods Data of 80 patients who received HSCT and took regular urine test every week from June 2015 to April 2018 in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University was retrospectively analyzed, they were 35 females and 45 males (aged 20-40 years, median age 30 years), and 31 cases with acute myeloid leukemia ( AML) , 24 cases with acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( ALL) , 15 cases with aplastic anemia ( AA ) , 4 cases with chronic myeloid leukemia ( CML ) , 6 cases with other diseases such as myelodysplastic syndrome ( MDS) in the study population.The positive rate and incidence of HC were analyzed.Patients who infected with the BK virus were divided into HC group and non -HC group according to occurrence of HC.BK viral load were compared in two groups .Urine BK viral load were analyzed after logarithmic transformation.Data that conforms to a normal distribution is expressed as mean ± standard deviation.t test, ANOVA and ROC curve were used to statistical analysis .Skewed data is expressed in median ( interquartile range ) , non-normal distribution parameters were compared by Wilcoxon test .Results Among 80 patients, 43 recipients (53.75％) became urinary BK positive, with 19 patients developed HC (23.75％), all of the 19 HC patients have urinary BK positive , and none of 37 BK-negative patients developed HC;the urine BKV level of the initial time and the peak time in HC group were (7.59 ±2.46) lg copy/ml, (10.56 ±1.71) lg copy/ml, the urine BKV level of the initial time and the peak time in non-HC group were (5.75 ±2.10) lg copy/ml,(7.31 ±2.29) lg copy /ml.The urine BKV level of the initial time and the peak time in HC group was higher than in non-HC group ( t=2.642, P=0.012 and t=5.147, P=0.000 respectively), when analyzing the urine BKV level of the initial time in HC group and non-HC group, the best threshold is 5.23 lg copy/ml(1.68 ×105 copy/ml),with a sensitivity of 84.20％and specificity of 54.17％, when analyzing the urine BKV level of the peak time in HC group and non-HC group, the best threshold is 9.75 lg copy/ml(5.62 ×109 copy/ml),with a sensitivity of 84.20％and specificity of 83.33％, area under curve of each other were 0.728 (95％ CI 0.575-0.881) and 0.875 (95％ CI 0.769-0.981) respectively.Conclusions The BK viral load is closely related with HC in HSCT patients .The cut-off level of 1.68 ×105 copy/ml when analyzing the urine BKV level of the initial time , and the cut-off level of 5.62 × 109 when analyzing the urine BKV level of the peak time , help to forecast or auxiliary diagnose HC .

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Creactive protein(CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) and lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer. Methods:A total of 96 cases of gastric cancer were included in the study. The clinical pathological stage and lymph node detection in patients with gastric cancer were analyzed, with the preoperative CAR as the dependent variable. Results:1) The pa-tients with preoperative CAR>0.04 has higher transfer rate and metastasis than the patients with preoperative CAR≤0.04, and the dif-ference was significant (P<0.05). The lymph node stage of patients with preoperative CAR>0.04 was significantly higher than that of the patients with preoperative CAR≤0.04, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). 2) The mean CAR of patients with Borrmann typesⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣgradually increased;with the progression of the pathological stage of gastric cancer, the mean value of CAR in-creased. 3) During the operation, the total number of lymph node dissections was high and the mean value of CAR before the opera-tion was high. Conclusion:The correlation between preoperative CAR and lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer may reflect the degree of lymph node metastasis to a certain extent.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the better method of digestive tract reconstruction in proximal gastrectomy for early gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

METHODSA total of 153 cases of early gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who were planned to receive radical proximal gastrectomy from January 2003 to December 2011 were prospectively enrolled and randomly divided into two groups by table of random number according to methods of digestive tract reconstruction, including 3S anastomosis group (80 cases, 3S jejunal interposition) and traditional anastomosis group (73 cases, esophageal remnant gastric posterior wall anastomosis). Postoperative complications, operative time, mortality, nutritional parameters and postoperative quality of life were compared between these two groups.

RESULTSThere were no significant differences between two groups in postoperative complications, operative time and mortality (all P>0.05). 3S anastomosis group was better in nutritional parameters than traditional group six months after operation (P<0.05). As compared to traditional group, incidence of reflux esophagitis decreased [20.0%(16/80) vs. 46.6%(34/73), P<0.01] and gastric emptying time prolonged obviously [(160.8±8.1) min vs. (61.1±10.8) min, P<0.01] in 3S anastomosis group 18 months after operation. Postoperative QLQ-C30 rating scale revealed quality of life was significantly higher in 3S anastomosis group as compared to traditional group.

CONCLUSIONJejunal interposition is a better method of digestive tract reconstruction in proximal gastrectomy for early gastroesophageal junction carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo study the safety and feasibility of fast track surgery (FTS) in the promotion of postoperative recovery for gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy.

METHODSFrom January to December in 2013, 71 gastric cancer patients were prospectively enrolled and randomized into the FTS group and the control group. Patient in the FTS group received FTS management and those in the control group received routine management. The postoperative recovery and stress were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSFTS was associated with shorter time to bowel function return [(67.8±19.7) h vs. (90.0±20.6) h, P<0.01], shorter hospital stay [(13.5±3.0) d vs. (17.8±7.3) d, P=0.01], lower hospital cost [(23.8±3.7) thousand Yuan vs. (27.8±6.1) thousand Yuan, P<0.05], and less stress response (lower pain score, WBC count, C-reactive protein, all P<0.01). The postoperative complications including ileus, infection, anastomotic leakage were similar (all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONFast track surgery decreases postoperative stress response and promotes recovery.
