Objective To investigate the relationship between Pin1 and CyclinD1 expression and the development of gastrointestinal stromal tu?mor(GIST). Methods The protein and mRNA expression of Pin1 and CyclinD1 in 85 samples of GIST and adjacent non?cancerous tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry and real?time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results The expression rate of Pin1 protein in GIST tis?sues(64.7%;55/85)was higher than that in adjacent non?cancerous tissues(26.7%;4/15). Similarly,the expression rate of CyclinD1 protein in GIST tissues(42.3%;36/85)was higher than that in adjacent non?cancerous tissues(6.7%;1/15). The expression of Pin1 and CyclinD1 mRNA in GIST tissues was 7.03 and 5.53 times that in adjacent non?cancerous tissues ,respectively. There was no obvious correlation between the expres?sion of Pin1 and clinicopathological parameters. The expression of CyclinD1 was positively correlated with the grade of NIH and tumor diameter (P<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the expression of Pin1 and CyclinD1 in GIST tissues. Conclusion The expression of both Pin1 and CyclinD1 was up?regulated in GIST tissues. The significant correlation between the expression of Pin1 and CyclinD1 in GIST tissues sug?gests that their synergistic effect promotes carcinogenesis and the development of GIST.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) on transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) platform in the treatment of middle and low rectal cancer.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of 28 patients with middle and low rectal cancer who underwent taTME on TEM platform in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Science from October 2014 to October 2017 were collected. There were 21 males and 7 females, aged 59 years (51 years, 68 years). Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect post-operative defecation function and survival of patients up to October 2020. Patients underwent physical examination, examination of tumor markers including carcinoembryonic antigen and CA19-9, colonoscopy, rectal magnetic resonance imaging, thoracoabdominal and pelvic enhanced computed tomography (CT) and (or) PET-CT examination during the follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( P25,P75) or M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the non parameter Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative situations: 28 patients underwent successful surgery, without intra-operative conversion to laparotomy. Of 28 patients, 24 cases underwent colorectal anastomosis and 4 cases underwent colon-anal anastomosis. Twenty-six cases underwent primary protective enterostomy and 2 cases didn't undergo primary protective enterostomy. The operation time of 28 patients was (182±37)minutes and the volume of intraoperative blood loss was 40mL(30 mL, 55 mL). One patient with intraoperative presacral hemorrhage received compression hemostasis. Eleven patients had postoperative complications, including 4 cases with anastomotic leakage, 2 cases with alteration of intestinal flora, 2 cases with paralytic ileus, 2 cases with urinary retention, 2 cases with urinary infection, 1 case with prolapse necrosis of small intestinal stoma, 1 case with anal hemorrhage, 1 case with rectovaginal fistula, 1 case with pelvic infection; some patients had multiple complications. Three patients had non-planned reoperation. One case without primary protective enterostomy had anastomotic leakage at postoperative 3 days, and was improved after emergency transversostomy. One case had prolapse necrosis of small intestinal stoma at postoperative 3 days and was improved after emergency enterostomy and reconstruction. One case with anal hemorrhage was stopped hemorrhage under anoscopy. Patients with other complications were cured after conservative treatments. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 28 patients was 8 days(7 days, 9 days). Results of pathological examination in 28 patients showed 16 cases of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, 3 cases of moderately to highly differentiated adenocarcinoma, 5 cases of highly differentiated adenocarcinoma, 1 case of mucinous adenocarcinoma, 3 cases of pathological complete response. TNM staging of 28 patients showed 3 cases in stage T0N0, 4 cases in stage T1N0, 6 cases in stage T2N0, 4 cases in stage T2N1, 7 cases in stage T3N0, 3 cases in stage T3N1, 1 case in stage T4N1. The distance from tumor to distal margin was (2.2±1.7)cm. The surgical specimens of 28 patients showed negative for proximal, distal and circumferential margins. The number of lymph node dissection was 15±7. The complete rate of total mesorectal excision was 100%(28/28). Eleven of 28 patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy and 17 patients didn't receive neoadjuvant therapy. The tumor diameter, distance from tumor to anal margin, operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 2 cm(1 cm, 4 cm), 5 cm(4 cm, 6 cm), (187±25)minutes, 45 mL(38 mL, 53 mL), 8 days(7 days, 12 days) for patients with neoadjuvant therapy, respectively, versus 3 cm(2 cm, 4 cm), 5 cm(4 cm, 6 cm), (177±35)minutes, 40 mL(30 mL, 60 mL), 8 days(7 days, 8 days) for patients without neoadjuvant therapy, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( Z=-1.127, -0.293, t=0.590, Z=-0.790, -0.876, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up: 23 of 28 patients were followed up for (44±14)months. Of the 23 patients,11 cases were classified as grade A of Williams score for defecation function at postoperative 6 months, 8 cases were classified as grade B and 4 cases were classified as grade C. Eighteen of 23 patients with follow-up had disease-free survival, 1 of whom didn't undergo stoma closure due to anastomotic stenosis at postoperative 6 months. Three patients had distant metastasis, including 1 case with parastomal implantation metastasis, 1 case with sacral metastasis, 1 case with pulmonary metastasis. Two patients died, 1 case of whom died of urinary obstruction and 1 case with mucinous adenocarcinoma died at postoperative 24 months. Conclusion:TaTME based on TEM platform is feasible for middle and low rectal cancer, which has the advantages of preserving anus and negative circumferential margin.

Objective To research the Annexin V-nanoscale ultrasound contrast agents'preparation, ultrasound imaging and the ability to binding apoptosis cells of tumor in vitro.Methods The nanoscale bubble (Nanobubbles,NBs ) packaged the octaflouropropane (C3 F8 ) gas was prepared by thin film hydration.The Annexin V-Nanobubbles (AVNBs ) solutions was acquired through conjugating the biotinylated-Annexin V to the surface of the NBs by biotin-streptavidin bridging chemistry.The size and zeta potential of AVNBs were measured by NanoPlus-3 zeta/nano particle analyzer.The shift in size distribution of AVNBs bubbles was analyzed for the stability,after it was stored at 4 ℃ for different time. AVNB's shape were measured by scanning electron microscopy.The AVNBs bubble was measured using an ultrasound system for echogenicity in vitro,and SonoVue was for control.Finally,the ability of AVNBs binding with apoptosis cells of tumor in vitro was determine via the fluorescence microscope.Results AVNBs has a size distribution of (640.2±32.1 )nm,and a mean zeta potential of (-23.30 ±5.71 )mV.Its size remained relatively constant and appeared to show less size variation within the 24 h analysis period. AVNBs solutions were visible milky white and slightly suspension liquid with the naked eye.Under scanning electron microscopy,AVNBs were uniform hollow sperical cavitation bubble with small size and larger dispersibility in solution.The AVNBs and SonoVue solution had the same higher grayscale signal intensity by ultrasonic imaging.The AVNBs binded well with apoptosis cells of tumor in vitro,and the rate of binding was (97.55 ± 1 .30 )%.Conclusions The AVNBs particles prepared by method of thin film hydration have a nanoscale size,good stability and echogenicity.It can be targeted binding with the apoptosis cells of tumor in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 58 patients undergoing laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from August 2012 to August 2019 were collected. There were 5 males and 53 females, aged from 15 to 70 years, with a median age of 38 years. All the 58 patients underwent laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions and the combined operation through the transsacral approach was chosen according to the patient condition. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) postoperative histopathological examination; (4) follow-up. Patients were followed up regularly using outpatient examination once every 6 months during the first postoperative year and once every 12 months after the first postoperative year. The recurrence of cysts was evaluated by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging examinations during the follow-up up to August 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD and measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: of the 58 patients, 54 cases underwent laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions and 4 cases underwent laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions combined with the transsacral approach operation. One of the 58 patients who had a huge cyst surrounding the rectum underwent transverse colostomy after repairing the damage of separated posterior wall of rectum. Two cases underwent preventive transverse colostomy because the external rectal wall heat injury could not be excluded after separation of the tight adhesion between cyst and rectum. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were (123±56)minutes, 20 mL(range, 5?500 mL) of 54 cases who underwent laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions and (232±38)minutes, 90 mL(range, 30?800 mL) of 4 cases who underwent laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions combined with the transsacral approach operation, respectively. (2) Postoperative situations: 7 of the 58 patients had complica-tions. Of the 7 patients, 2 cases had postoperative rectal fistula and were cured after the treatment of transverse colostomy combined with pelvic drainage, 2 cases had postoperative urinary tract infection and were relieved after anti-infection treatment, 2 cases had urinary retention after removal of catheter and were recovered after 3 weeks of re-indwelling catheter, and 1 case had poor incision healing of transsacral and was healed after wound dressing change. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 58 patients was (7±4)days. (3) Postoperative histopathological examination: results of the postoperative histopathological examination showed that there were 26 of 58 patients with epidermoid cyst, 20 patients with teratoma (2 cases with mature teratoma accompanied by mucinous adenocarcinoma and 1 case with mature teratoma accompanied by neuroendocrine carcinoma), 10 patients with dermoid cyst, and 2 patients with tailgut cyst. (4) Follow-up: 57 of the 58 patients were followed up for 2-85 months, with a median follow-up time of 51 months. Of the 57 patients who were followed up, 1 patient was diagnosed with buttock subcutaneous cyst at postoperative 8 months and treated with local excision, 1 patient was diagnosed with a small presacral cyst recurrence by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging at postoperative 6 months and continued follow-up as the cyst without obvious enlargement, and the other 55 patients had no cyst recurrence.Conclusion:The laparoscopic resection of retrorectal cystic lesions is safe and feasible.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and feasibility of transanal endoscopic microsurgery combined with laparoscopic total mesorectal resection for lower rectal cancer.

METHODClinical data of seventeen patients with low rectal cancer undergoing the transanal endoscopic microsurgery combined with laparoscopic total mesorectal resection in our department from November 2014 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures included the operative time, intra-operative blood loss, the intra- and post-operative complication rate, the distal resection margin (DRM) length and the circumferential resection margin(CRM) status of the pathological specimen, as well as the number of lymph nodes retried.

RESULTSThe surgery was completed smoothly for all the patients in this studying group, with no conversion to open surgery. Among all the seventeen patients, seven had a body mass index (BMI) of over 25. The average operative time was (178.0 ± 32.3) min. The average intra-operative blood loss was (50.6 ± 43.98) ml. The complications included one case of intra-operative presacral venous hemorrhage(5.9%), and 3 cases of post-operative anastomotic leak (17.6%). The average distance from the distal resection margin to the lower edge of the tumor was (2.2 ± 1.6) cm. The distal, proximal, and circumferential resection margins were all negative in 17 patients. The average number of lymph nodes retrieved was 14.5 ± 6.9. The average postoperative hospital stay was (10.6 ± 6.7) d. Patients were followed up for an average period of (7.0 ± 2.6) months.

CONCLUSIONTransanal endoscopic microsurgery combined with laparoscopic total mesorectal resection in the treatment of lower rectal cancer is technically safe and feasible.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and feasibility of the posterior transsphincteric approach for rectovaginal fistulas repair.

METHODData of 23 cases of rectovaginal fistulas treated by the transsphincteric approach in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, from April 1994 to May 2014 were reviewed. The success rate of this surgical procedure and the postoperative complications were analyzed.

RESULTSThe procedure of the transsphincteric approach for the repair of rectovaginal fistulas was performed successfully in all 23 cases. Three patients(13%) suffered surgical wound infection, which healed after regular dressing changes. In 19 cases, the fistulas were successfully repaired with an initial healing rate of 82.6%. The surgical repair failed to accomplish initial healing in 3 cases(13%). No complications including rectocutaneous fistula or anal sphincter malfunction occurred in these patients.

CONCLUSIONThe transsphincteric approach for the repair of rectovaginal fistulas is a safe and feasible procedure with a good success rate.
