1.Analysis of the different surgical treatment for inguinal hernia
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(1):25-26
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of the different surgical treatment for patients with inguinal hernia.Methods98 patients with inguinal hernia were randomly divided into two groups and 49 cases in each group.The observation group was given filling tension-free hernia repair,the control group using traditional hernia repair.The postoperative follow-up were compared in clinical efficacy and recurrence.ResultsIn the observation group and control group,the duration of postoperative pain,surgical time and patient recovery time was 93.9% (46/49) vs 81.6% (40/49) (x2 =2.645,P<0.01),(45.2 ±7.2)min vs (51.4 ±6.4)min(P <0.05),(60.8±5.4) min vs (71.4 ± 6.7) min ( P < 0.05 ),( 2.0 ± 2.1 ) d vs (4.9 ± 1.8) d ( P < 0.05 ).Postoperative follow-up found that both groups of patients relapse rate was statistically significant( x2 =3.279,P <0.01 ).ConclusionTwo different surgical treatment of inguinal hernia,the tension-free hernia repair compared with the traditional hernia repair was more suitable for the body,surgery time and recovery time was short,reducing the relapse rate in patients with inguinal hernia,was an effective means of treatment.

Objective:To evaluate systematically the association between the c. 415>C polymorphism of NUDT15 gene and the toxicity of 6-mercaptopurine(6-MP)in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).Methods:The literatures in domestic and foreign databases were retrieved: PubMed, EmBase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP Chinese Sci-tech Journal Database, and Wanfang Database.The language was limited to Chinese or English.A case-control study or cohort study of 6-MP treatment in pediatric ALL related to the toxicity of the NUDT15 gene c. 415>C polymorphism was included.The time of search was set from the establishment of the database to October 1st, 2020.Two researchers screened the literature independently, extracted data from the literature that met the inclusion criteria, and evaluated the quality of the included studies.The association between locus polymorphism and toxicity during 6-MP chemotherapy was analyzed by Meta analysis with Rev Man 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software.Results:Nine studies were finally included, eight of which were cohort studies and one was a case-control study, with a total of 1 068 patients.The results showed that under the five genetic models, the mutation at c. 415>C of NUDT15 gene was significantly associated with the risk of leukopenia and neutropenia( P<0.01), while hepatotoxicity was with no significant association between the occurrence risk of damage( P>0.05). Conclusion:The mutation at c. 415>C of NUDT15 gene significantly increased the incidence of leukopenia and neutropenia during 6-MP chemotherapy, while there was no significant effect on the occurrence of hepatotoxicity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological features of pediatric NTRK-rearranged tumors.Methods:Four NTRK-rearranged soft tissue tumors and one renal tumor at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Singapore KK Women′s and Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to September 2019 were identified. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry, and the ALK and ETV6 gene break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridizations (FISH) were performed. NTRK gene rearrangement was detected using sequencing-based methods.Results:There were 3 males and 2 females in this study. The patients were between 3 months and 13 years of age. Histologically, the tumors were infiltrative spindle cell tumors with variable accompanying inflammatory cells. Immunohistochemistry showed positive reactivity for pan-TRK in all tumors, with nuclear staining for NTRK3 fusion, and cytoplasmic staining for NTRK1 fusion. The molecular testing revealed NTRK gene fusions (one each of TPM3-NTRK1, ETV6-NTRK3 and DCTN1-NTRK1, and two cases of LMNA-NTRK1). Two patients were receiving larotrectinib. The others were are well without disease, with follow-up durations of 9 to 29 months.Conclusions:NTRK-rearranged mesenchymal tumors from soft tissue sites and kidney are identified. A novel DCTN1-NTRK1 fusion is described. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry is useful for diagnosis. NTRK-targeted therapy may be an option for unresectable, recurrent or metastatic cases.
