Objective:To discuss the role of incision for short-term outcomes of simultaneous resection in synchronous colorec-tal liver metastases (sCRLM). Methods:We reviewed the data of 37 patients who underwent simultaneous resection between January 2009 and December 2014 in our department and compared the short-term outcomes between Mercedes and midline incisions. Results:Mercedes and midline incisions were used in 19 and 18 patients, respectively. The two groups showed similarities in patient characteris-tics, major hepatectomy, surgery time, blood loss, and hilar block time. The midline group comprised more rectal cancer patients (P<0.001). The two groups did not differ significantly in complication incidence (47.4%vs. 16.7%, P=0.08) and postoperative stay time (22.1 ± 9.5 d vs. 17.2 ± 6.7 d, P=0.08). At body mass index (BMI)<25, the complication incidence (P=0.046) and postoperative stay time (P=0.051) were lower in the midline group than in the Mercedes group. Conclusion:Midline incision provided similar exposure in simultaneous resection for sCRLM and was better than Mercedes incision in rectal cancer patients. Patients with midline incision may attain better short-term outcomes if BMI is<25.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the screened miRNAs related to tumorigenesis using miRNA array in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), and provide a set of miRNAs that may be useful for the development of novel diagnostic markers and/or more effective therapeutic strategies from the screened miRNAs in LSCC. METHODS A total number of 5 patients who underwent surgery for primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were recruited for miRNA array analysis. LSCC tissues compared with corresponding adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were analyzed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array 3.0 to screen effective miRNAs, and the raw dataset had been submitted to Gene Expression Omnibus. Then mirfocus 3.0 database was adopted to analyze putative regulated miRNAs related to MCM4, a gene related to tumorigenesis we had studied previously in LSCC. Moreover, the selected putative regulated miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 21 patients diagnosed as LSCC. RESULTS Analyzed by the miRNAs arrays, there were 127 miRNAs significantly related to tumorigenesis, and 78 showed a higher expression in tumor than in non-tumor tissue while 49 presented the contrasting pattern (P<0.01). Then analyzed by mirfocus 3.0 database, there were 2 putative regulated miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p and hsa-miR-183-5p, related to the expression of MCM4. Another miRNA we should focus on was hsa-miR-30a-5p, which was down-expressed obviously analyzed by the miRNA array. The expression of the 3 putative regulated miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 21 patients, and the result was the same with that in miRNA array (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The 3 putative miRNAs based on miRNA array analysis, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-183-5p and hsa-miR-30a-5p, could be considered as potential diagnostic and therapeutic markers in LSCC. The result will contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis of LSCC and help to improve the treatment.

BACKGROUNDThe management of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversial due to the early recurrence after curative hepatectomy, and many variables were related to the prognosis. The purpose of this study was to predict the tumor recurrence in early postoperative period of the patients with BCLC stage B HCC.
METHODSFrom January 2004 to January 2012, 104 patients with BCLC stage B HCC underwent hepatectomy. Clinicopathological factors and follow-up data were statistically analyzed to establish a predicting scoring system.
RESULTSThe overall survival rates for one, three, and five years were 69.2%, 52.7%, and 42.3%, and the disease-free survival rates for one, three, and five years were 52.9%, 47.3%, and 37.5%, respectively. The multiple factors analysis showed that the micro-vessel invasion, lymph nodes metastasis, multiple lesions, and the high expression of HMGB1 were independent factors (P < 0.05). A scoring system was established to predict the early recurrence within one year after the surgery for BCLC stage B HCC, according to the analysis results with a specificity of 85.1% and a sensitivity of 80.3%.
CONCLUSIONVariant clinicopathological factors were associated with early postoperative recurrence for BCLC stage B HCC and recurrence early after hepatectomy was more likely in patients with a higher score of the scoring system.
