Objective:To introduce the technical essentials of cytoreduction surgery (CRS) with extensive peritonectomy (“rolling carpet” surgery) in stage Ⅲc epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and evaluate the feasibility and safety of the operation by analyzing the incidence of surgical complications and perioperative mortality.Methods:From December 2017 to December 2019, 30 patients with stage IIIc EOC who underwent “rolled carpet” CRS and 30 patients who underwent traditional CRS at the same period in Sichuan Cancer Hospital were collected. To summarize the key points of “rolled carpet” CRS operation technology, i.e. the extraperitoneal space was the cut path of ovarian cancer operation, and the tumor in the pelvic cavity was dissociated from the extraperitoneal space of the pelvic cavity. The tumor in the pelvic cavity and all the implants or potential metastases on the parietal peritoneum were removed completely. The clinical and pathological characteristics between the two groups were analyzed retrospectively, and the feasibility and safety of “rolling carpet” CRS were evaluated by comparing the operation related indexes and the occurrence of surgical complications between the two groups.Results:(1) Clinicopathological features: the age of patients in “rolling carpet” CRS group and traditional CRS group were respectively (55.4±9.6) and (54.6±9.5) years, and the median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 12 (range, 4-24) and 10 (range, 5-18), respectively. There were no statistical significance between the two groups (all P>0.05). (2) Operation related indexes: in the “rolled carpet” CRS group, all patients (100%, 30/30) were performed optimal CRS, reaching completeness of cytoreduction score (CC score), named CC-0 score, and there was no visible residual lesion after operation. While, in the traditional CRS group, 23 patients (77%, 23/30) reached CC-0 score, 5 cases (17%, 6/30) reached CC-1 score, 2 cases (7%, 2/30) reached CC-2 score, and there were statistical significance between the two groups ( P=0.011). The median surgical time was 315 minutes (range, 252-446 minutes) vs 268 minutes (range, 215-372 minutes), the median intraoperative blood loss was 589 ml (range, 300-900 ml) vs 450 ml (range, 250-800 ml), the median ICU hospital stay time was 2 days (range, 1-7 days) vs 1 day (range, 0-5 days), the median total hospital stay time was 14 days (range, 9-17 days) vs 12 days (range, 7-15 days). There were no statistical significance between the two groups (all P>0.05). (3) Surgical complications: there were respectively 5 cases (17%, 5/30) and 3 cases (10%, 3/30) complications with Clavien-Dindo grading Ⅰ-Ⅱ, which was significant no difference between the “rolled carpet” CRS group and the traditional CRS groups ( P>0.05). No re-operations were needed and the operative mortality was 0. Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to perform “rolled carpet” CRS in patients with advanced stage Ⅲc EOC with peritoneum implantation and metastasis, which could achieve optimal CRS, and has an acceptable incidence of perioperative complications, no perioperative death.

Objective:The real-world clinical data of patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer) who received first-line maintenance therapy with poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) were retrospectively analyzed, and the prognostic factors were preliminarily explored.Methods:(1) The clinicopathological data and follow-up data of ovarian cancer patients treated with PARPi first-line maintenance therapy from August 2018 (PARPi was launched in China) to December 31, 2021 in Sichuan Cancer Hospital were collected (real-world clinical data). (2) According to the different types of PARPi, real-world clinical data were divided into olaparib group and niraparib group, which were respectively compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of representative domestic and foreign phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials (RCT), including olaparib as first-line maintenance therapy for advanced ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1/2 gene mutation (SOLO-1 study), niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy (PRIMA study), and niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy for Chinese advanced ovarian cancer patients (PRIME study). (3) The prognosis of the two groups and the prognostic factors were analyzed.Results:(1) A total of 83 patients were included in this study, with a median age of 51 years (47-57 years), including 75 cases of ovarian cancer, 5 cases of fallopian tube cancer, and 3 cases of primary peritoneal cancer; 5 cases of stage Ⅰ, 9 cases of stage Ⅱ, 55 cases of stage Ⅲ, 12 cases of stage Ⅳ, and 2 cases of unknown stage; neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) was performed in 40 cases and non-NACT in 43 cases; 62 cases had no visible residual lesion after surgery (R0), 9 cases had residual disease lesions <1 cm (R1), 8 cases had residual disease lesions ≥1 cm (R2), and 4 cases with unknown postoperative residual disease. Thirty-two cases had PARPi treatment interruption, 40 cases had PARPi reduction, and 1 case terminated treatment due to acute leukemia. Of the 83 patients, 35 were in the olaparib group and 48 were in the niraparib group. The proportion of patients with high-grade serous carcinoma (100% and 75%, respectively) and the proportion of BRCA mutant patients (91% and 10%, respectively) in the olaparib group were higher than those in the niraparib group (all P<0.01). (2) Compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the SOLO-1 study, the olaparib group had only 60% (21/35) coincidence rate; compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of PRIMA and PRIME studies, the coincidence rates of niraparib group were only 31% (15/48) and 69% (33/48). The most common reasons for non-compliance were number of chemotherapy courses, histopathological type, and surgical pathological stage. (3) Of the 83 cases received first-line maintenance therapy with PARPi, the median follow-up was 15.9 months (11.3-22.9 months), the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 29.7 months (95% CI: 25.9-33.6 months), and the median overall survival was 49.8 months (95% CI: 47.4-52.2 months). Univariate analysis showed that unilateral or bilateral ovarian cancer, efficacy after platinum-containing chemotherapy, presence or absence of measurable lesions at the end of chemotherapy, and total number of chemotherapy courses were significantly associated with PFS (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that unilateral or bilateral ovarian cancer, total number of chemotherapy courses, and efficacy after platinum-containing chemotherapy were independent factors affecting PFS in stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ patients with PARPi first-line maintenance therapy (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Unilateral ovarian cancer, the total number of chemotherapy courses no more than 9, and achieving complete response after platinum-containing chemotherapy before maintenance therapy are independent influencing factors of PFS benefit in patients with PARPi first-line maintenance therapy. Due to the large differences between the patients in real clinical practice and the research subjects of phase Ⅲ RCT, the results of representative retrospective studies still have important clinical reference significance.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Danhong injection (DHI) on gene expression profile of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model rats. METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group and DHI group (0.76 mL/kg), with 10 rats in each group. AMI model was established by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery in model group and DHI group. After modeling, sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intramuscularly, and DHI group was given relevant medicine intramuscularly, once a day, for consecutive 14 days. After last administration, myocardial tissue in the marginal zone of infarction was separated. The change of gene expression profile was detected by gene chip technique. Using fold-change of relative expression as index, differentially expressed microRNA (miRNA) were screened. On the basis of retrieving their corresponding genes, gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were carried out by using DAVID bioinformatics resource database and KEGG pathway database, respectively. TargetScan database was used to predict the target gene messenger RNA (mRNA) corresponding to differentially expressed miRNA. Cytoscape 3.6.1 software was used to construct and analyze the miRNA-mRNA network. Agilent GeneSpring GX v11.5 software was used to screen target genes and miRNA related to inflammation in the above networks. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, there were 22 differentially expressed miRNAs in model group, 5 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated. Compared with model group, there were 26 differentially expressed miRNAs in DHI group, and all of them were up-regulated. The differentially expressed miRNAs related to DHI therapy for AMI included rno-let-7a-5p, rno-let-7d-5p, rno-let-7f-5p, rno-miR-26b-5p, rno-miR-29b-3p, cel-miR-39-3p, cel-miR-39-5p, rno-miR-142-5p, rno-miR-191a-5p, rno-miR-409a-3p. Results of GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly concentrated in membrane-bound organelles, cytoplasm, endometrial system and other cell components. The molecular functions such as protein binding and ion binding were exerted through biological processes such as anatomical structure development, multicellular tissue development and development process,which were mainly enriched in calcium signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, cell apoptosis, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored biosynthesis, valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation, etc. miRNA-mRNA network analysis showed that there were 25 target gene mRNAs corresponding to differentially expressed miRNA and 24 miRNAs related to it. There were 6 inflammation-related target genes (IL6, IL1b, TNF, TLR4, CRP, CXCL12) in this network, involving 19 differentially expressed miRNAs. CONCLUSIONS: The therapeutic effect of DHI on AMI may be related to regulating the expression of related miRNA, affecting signal transduction of calcium ion, PPAR and VEGF pathways, and regulating the secretion of inflammatory markers such as interleukin, chemokine and C-reactive protein.
