Objective:To study the CT features for solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) in the abdomen and pelvis and to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Methods:Fourteen patients with SFT were collected in our hospital from January,2011 to December,2015.Characteristic of images were analyzed and compared for 10 SFT,which located outside the abdominal organs with extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST),leiomyosarcoma,and schwannoma.Results:Necrosis and cystic formation were frequently present in SFT in the abdomen and pelvis.CE-CT showed serpentine vessels along the periphery,while pattern of enhancement was maplike inhomogeneous progressive.Comparing with the EGIST or schwannoma,the difference of CT value in non-contrast and the arterial phase were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The numbers of peritumoral circuity vessel were significantly different between SFT and EGIST (~=18.27,P＜0.008) or between SFT and schwannoma (x2=19.25,P＜0.008).Comparing with the leiomyosarcoma or schwannoma,SFT located outside the abdominal organs.We found that tumor necrosis rate was significantly different between SFT and leiomyoscarcoma (x2=8.00,P＜0.008).Conclusion:SFT in the abdomen and pelvis show certain CT characteristics.The CT value in noncontrast and at the arterial phase,tumor necrosis rate,and serpentine vessels along the periphery were pivotal in differentiating SFT from leiomyosarcoma,EGIST and schwannoma.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of sintilimab combined with paclitaxel and docetaxel in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:Prospective cohort study was performed. A total of 90 patients with advanced NSCLC receiving second-line treatment in Baotou Cancer Hospital from October 2019 to October 2022 were prospectively selected. All patients were divided into the study group (sintilimab combined with paclitaxel and docetaxel as second-line treatment, 45 cases) and the control group (paclitaxel or docetaxel alone, 45 cases) according to random number table method. The short-term efficacy, serum cytokine levels, quality of life and T-cell subsets of the two groups were compared. The survival of patients within 6 months was followed up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS) of both groups, and log-rank test was used to make comparison among groups.Results:There were 25 males (55.56%) in the study group with the age of (63±5) years and 28 males (62.22%) in the control group with the age of (65±6) years. There were no statistically significant differences in the gender, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores, the body mass (all P>0.05). The total effective rate was 88.89% (40/45) in the study group and 71.11% (32/45) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.44, P = 0.035). The levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) of both groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001); the levels of VEGF and CA125 in the study group after treatment were lower than those in the control group [VEGF: (223±15) pg/ml vs. (289±15) pg/ml, t=20.82, P<0.001;CA125: (23±6) ng/ml vs. (75±4) ng/ml, t=51.28, P<0.001].Quality of life scale score, Karnofsky score of both groups after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all P<0.05); quality of life scale score and Karnofsky score in the study group after treatment were higher than those in the control group [quality of life scale score: (63±6) scores vs. (51±5) scores, t=10.29, P<0.001; Karnofsky score: (80.5±5.7) scores vs.(78.8±3.7) scores, t=1.70, P=0.041]. T-cell subsets indicators of both groups after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all P<0.001). T-cell subsets indicators in the study group after treatment were higher than those in the control group [CD3 + cell proportion: (68±5)% vs. (65±5)%, t=2.52, P = 0.014; CD4 + cell proportion:(42.5±1.7)% vs. (36.5±3.7)%, t=9.91, P<0.001;CD4 +/CD8 +: 1.78±0.54 vs. 1.46±0.27, t=3.56, P<0.001]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups [11.11% (5/45) vs. 15.55% (7/45), χ2=0.39, P=0.534]. The follow-up time was 6 months. The OS in the study group was better than that in the control group ( χ2=3.86, P = 0.044). Conclusions:Sintilimab combined with taxoid chemotherapy drugs is effective in the second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC, and it improves immune function and shows a favorable safety.

Facial autologous fat filling is widely accepted as a kind of facial cosmetic surgery.However, the postoperative complications, such as periorbital firm mass, ptosis and palpebral erythema, affect appearance and health seriously after surgery.Periorbital lipogranuloma is an ophthalmic complication of facial autologous fat filling which may be due to the nonviable adipocytes.The location of periorbital lipogranuloma is directly associated with fat filling site.The present therapies for periorbital lipogranuloma include the application of glucocorticoid and surgery.Most ophthalmologists in China know little about this disease, leading to misdiagnosis and overtreatment in clinical practice.This review summarizes the clinical characteristics of periorbital lipogranuloma in order to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Mitophagy is a process by which cells selectively eliminate damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria through the autophagy-lysosomal pathway under the regulation of mitophagy-related proteins to maintain mitochondrial quality and cellular homeostasis,and it is closely related to the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors.Increasing studies have shown that mitophagy plays a dual role in breast cancer progression.① Mitophagy promotes breast cancer cell survival and invasion by triggering energy metabolic reprogramming,reducing ROS accumulation and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis.②Mitophagy leads to death or apoptosis of breast cancer cells by attenuating inflamma-tory responses and triggering mitochondrial damage.The relevant mechanisms include①PTEN induced kinase 1,PINK1(PINK1)/Parkin pathway;② autophagy receptor-associated protein pathway(including BNIP3,BNIP3L and FUNDC1);③ mitochondrial division pathway.This review summarizes the role and mechanism of mitophagy in the hopes of providing reference for research and treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of parastomal hernia in patients with permanent colostomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conduc-ted. The clinicopathological data of 72 patients with permanent colostomy in the Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to June 2020 were collected. There were 50 males and 22 females, aged (66±12)years. Observations indicators: (1) follow-up; (2) analysis of factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia; (3) comparison of the incidence of parastomal hernia in patients with different age. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination. Patients were followed up once every 12 months after surgery to detect the incidence of parastomal hernia up to September 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers and percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the parastomal hernia occurrence curve and calculate the incidence rate of parastomal hernia and Log-rank test was used to analyze the incidence of parastomal hernia. Results:(1) Follow-up. All 72 patients were followed up for 23(range, 12?76)months. During the follow-up, there were 31 patients developed parastomal hernia, with the incidence as 20.8%(15/72), 36.1%(26/72) and 43.1%(31/72) at postoperative 1 year, postoperative 2 year and postoperative 5 year, respectively. Of the 31 patients with parastomal hernia, there were 21 cases of type Ⅰ, 3 cases of type Ⅱ and 7 cases of type Ⅲ. Patients with parastomal hernia recovered with conservative treatment. (2) Analysis of factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia. Results of univariate analysis showed that age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness were related factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia ( χ2=7.98, t=?2.95, 2.02, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness were independent factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia ( odds ratio=4.07, 3.19, 0.07, 95% confidence interval as 1.46?11.32, 1.43?7.09, 0.01?0.84, P<0.05). (3) Comparison of the incidence of parastomal hernia in patients with different age. Of the 72 patients, there were 37 cases with age <65 years and 35 cases with age >65 years. Of the 31 patients with parastomal hernia, there were 10 cases with age<65 years and all of them with type Ⅰ parastomal hernia, and the incidence of parastomal hernia in postoperative 1 year and postoperative 2 year was 13.5%(5/37) and 27.0%(10/37), respectively. There were 21 cases with age ≥65 years and cases with type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ parastomal hernia were 11, 3 and 7, respectively. The postoperative 1 year and postoperative 2 year incidence of parastomal hernia in the 21 cases was 28.6%(10/35) and 45.7%(16/35), respectively. There was a significant difference in the incidence of parastomal hernia between patients<65 years and ≥65 years ( χ2=9.28, P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness are independent factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of benzo(α)pyrene on the ATPase activity and content of Ca²⁺ in the hippocampus of neonatal SD rats. METHODS: Sixty male and 60 female 4-days-old neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=24): a blank control group, a vehicle control group (peanut oil), 3 benzo(α)pyrene groups (0.02, 0.2 and 2 mg/kg, respectively). SD rats were given benzo(α)pyrene (dissolved in peanut oil) by gavage daily from postnatal day 4 (PND4) to PND20. The nerve reflex, the condition of neuro-muscle development and motion function were examined in the period of treatment. The colorimetric technique was used to detect the activity of Ca²⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase in hippocampus after the treatment. The concentration of Ca²⁺ of synapse in the hippocampus of rats was detected by fluorescent labeling. RESULTS: The results from the behavior tests showed that duration of surface reflex latency in rats with medium dose of benzo(α)pyrene was longer compared with that in the control group in PND12. The duration of surface reflex latency in rats with high dose of benzo(α) pyrene is longer in PND 14 and PND 16 compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the rats in the control group, the activities of Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-ATPase in hippocampus in rats with high dose benzo(α) pyrene were significantly decreased, and the degree in the decrease of Ca²⁺-ATPase activity was dose-dependent (P<0.05). The contents of Ca²⁺ in the hippocampus in rats with medium or high dose of benzo(α) pyrene were significantly increased compared with that in the control group (P<0.05), which showed a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Benzo(α)pyrene exposure led to the decrease in ATPase activity as well as Ca²⁺ overload of the synapse in the hippocampal tissue, which in turn results in the nerve damage of newborn SD rats.

Objective To explore the mechanism underlying the protective effect of α2-macroglobulin (A2M) against glucocorticoid-induced femoral head necrosis. Methods In a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model with injuries induced by gradient concentrations of dexamethasone (DEX;10-8-10-5 mol/L), the protective effects of A2M at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/mL were assessed by examining the changes in cell viability, migration, and capacity of angiogenesis using CCK-8 assay, Transwell and scratch healing assays and angiogenesis assay. The expressions of CD31 and VEGF-A proteins in the treated cells were detected using Western blotting. In BALB/c mouse models of avascular necrosis of the femoral head induced by intramuscular injections of methylprednisolone, the effects of intervention with A2M on femoral trabecular structure, histopathological characteristics, and CD31 expression were examined with Micro-CT, HE staining and immunohistochemical staining. Results In cultured HUVECs, DEX treatment significantly reduced cell viability, migration and angiogenic ability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner (P<0.05), and these changes were obviously reversed by treatment with A2M in positive correlation with A2M concentration (P<0.05). DEX significantly reduced the expression of CD31 and VEGF-A proteins in HUVECs, while treatment with A2M restored CD31 and VEGF-A expressions in the cells (P<0.05). The mouse models of femoral head necrosis showed obvious trabecular damages in the femoral head, where a large number of empty lacunae and hypertrophic fat cells could be seen and CD31 expression was significantly decreased (P<0.05). A2M treatment of the mouse models significantly improved trabecular damages, maintained normal bone tissue structures, and increased CD31 expression in the femoral head (P<0.05). Conclusion A2M promotes proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of DEX-treated HUVECs and alleviates methylprednisolone-induced femoral head necrosis by improving microcirculation damages and maintaining microcirculation stability in the femoral head.
