The intestinal type of lung adenocarcinoma is a very rare subtype of lung adenocarcinoma, presenting with pulmonary symptoms, but without any gastrointestinal symptoms and pathological changes. The author found 1 case of double primary lung adenocarcinoma of the left lung, which was confirmed by surgery pathology, one for lung adenocarcinoma, one for a rare type of intestinal adenocarcinoma. This paper reviews the relevant literatures of the diagnosis and treatment of this case.

Objective:To study the expression and clinical significance of GPRC5A and SOCS3 in colorectal carcinoma.Methods:SP immunochemical method was performed to detect the expression of GPRCSA and SOCS3 in 45 cases of colorectal carcinoma,25 cases of colorectal adenomas and 22 cases of normal colorectal tissues.Results:1)Expression of GPRC5A in colorectal cancinoma tissue (22.2％) was significantly lower than that in adenomas tissue (52.0％,P＞0.05).The Latter was significantly lower than that in normal colorectal tissue (81.8％,P＜0.05).GPRC5Awas closely related to lymph node metastasis,Duke's stages and the deepness of invasion (P＜0.05).2) Expression of SOCS3 in colorectal cancinoma tissue (24.4％) was significantly lower than that in adenomas tissue (56.0％,P＜0.01).The Latter was significantly lower than that in normal colorectal tissue (86.4％,P＜0.05).SOCS3 was closely related to pathological differentiation,the deepness of invasion,Duke's stages and lymph node metastasis (P＜0.05).3)The expression of GPRC5A was positive correlated with SOCS3 (P＜0.05).Conclusions:The reduced expressions of GPRC5A and SOCS3 may participate in the occurence and development of colorectal carcinorma,suggesting that GPRC5A and SOCS3 may act as biological markers for evaluating the malign degree,prognosis and therapeutic targets of colorectal carcinorma.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of the asphyxia as a Second Hit on renal function during early stage after birth in small for gestational age (SGA) infants.MethodsThe infants who were hospitalized within 24 hours after birth in Peking University Third Hospital between January 2013 and March 2015 were retrospectively enrolled, and divided into different groups depending on gestational age and asphyxia history. There were 40 preterm non-asphyxia SGA infants and 80 controls who were preterm non-asphyxia appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants; 11 preterm asphyxia SGA infants and an equal number of preterm asphyxia AGA infants as controls; 33 term non-asphyxia SGA infants and 33 term non-asphyxia AGA infants as controls; and four term asphyxia SGA infants and 13 term asphyxia AGA infants as controls. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), and estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were tested within 48 h after admission and the incidence of abnormal indexes was compared between groups byt-test and Fisher exact test.Results(1) Compared with preterm non-asphyxia AGA group, BUN level significantly decreased in preterm non-asphyxia SGA group [(3.99±1.69) vs (5.11±2.08) mmol/L,t=2.948, P=0.004]. Compared with term non-asphyxia AGA group, term non-asphyxia SGA group had higher SCr level [(72.03±10.29) vs (62.58±12.27)μmol/L,t=3.390,P=0.001] and lower eGFR level [(25.19±4.07) vs (33.99±8.75) ml/(min·1.73 m2),t=5.238,P=0.000]. (2) Compared with preterm non-asphyxia AGA infants, preterm asphyxia AGA infants had higher BUN [(6.96±3.09) vs (5.11±2.08) mmol/L,t=2.602,P=0.011] and SCr [(76.45±10.11) vs (66.70±13.18)μmol/L,t=2.357,P=0.021] and lower eGFR level [(15.86±2.31) vs (19.54±5.08) ml/(min·1.73 m2),t=2.361,P=0.020]. Compared with preterm non-asphyxia SGA group, there was a significant increase in BUN level [(6.70±3.37) vs (3.99±1.69) mmol/L,t=2.581,P=0.025] and decrease in eGFR level [(14.80±4.67) vs (18.66±5.03) ml/(min·1.73 m2),t=2.285,P=0.027] in preterm asphyxia SGA group. Changes in term infants were similar to preterm infants. (3) Compared with asphyxia AGA group, asphyxia SGA group showed a higher frequency of abnormal eGFR in term infants (4/4 vs 4/13, Fisher exact test,P=0.029). ConclusionsAsphyxia as a probable Second Hit can influence the renal function during early stage in both preterm and term infants, especially in SGA infants.

Objective To analyze the multi-slices spiral CT (MSCT) findings of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis(HAE), and to evaluate the value of MSCT for diagnosis of HAE. Methods Twenty-six cases with HAE were scanning by MSCT. The raw data were transmitted to advanced workstation for reconstruction imaging. Correlated studies were made between the CT features and pathology or other imaging results. Results Altogether 28 lesions were detected. They all revealed as heterogeneous hypodense mass with ill-defined boundary in plain CT but were easily being distinguished from surrounding parenchyma after contrast medium injection.Characteristics of the lesions include different amount of calcification (26/26), liquefied necrosis in center area (20/26), peripheral lacunae or alveolar signs (15/26), compensatory hypertrophy of healthy hepatic part (18/26) and the retraction in the involved hepatic lobe or segment (12/26). The lesions that located at or extended to hepatic hilum caused dilatation of intra-hepatic biliary ducts(9/26), splenomegaly (12/26), and ascites (1/26). MSCT angiography (CTA) depicted signs of abnormalities of hepatic vessels such as compression, displacement, encasement and occlusion. Compared with findings of operation, the sensitivity, specificity and positive prediction value of CTA for evaluating the hepatic artery system disorders were 88%, 96% and 93%, respectively; and for portal venous system were 95%, 100% and 95%, respectively; while for hepatic venous system were 96%, 86% and 96%, respectively. Conclusion MSCT is able to comprehensive display the CT features and vessels complication of HAE. It provides reliable imaging for both accuracy diagnosis and proper treatment of the disease.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGF-R3) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer and the pathological characteristics, and to assess the ability to evaluate lymphatic and distant metastasis of the two marks.Methods VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 124 patients with lung cancer and 30 normal controls, and used to analyze the relationship with the pathological characteristics of lung cancer.Results The serum levels [M(QR)] of VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 in patients with lung cancer were 283.57 (120.70) pg/ml and 62.72 (43.02) ng/ml, significantly higher than the control whose VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 were 234.62 (129.20) ng/ml and 43.08 (17.07) pg/ml, respectively (Z=-2.840, P=0.005;Z=-3.834, P<0.001).No correlation was found between the expression of VEGF-C and age, sex, primary tumor site, T stage (Z=-0.949, P=0.343;Z=-0.454, P=0.649;Z=-1.168, P=0.243;Z=-1.694, P=0.090).But the expression of VEGF-C was significantly related with pathologic type, N stage and M stage (χ2=8.829, P=0.012;χ2=27.148, P<0.001;Z=-2.221, P=0.026).However, the expression of VEGF-R3 was not correlated with age, sex, the site of the primary lesion, pathological type and T, N, M stage (Z=-0.558, P=0.577;Z=-0.599, P=0.549;Z=-0.703, P=0.482;χ2=1.166, P=0.558;Z=-0.680, P=0.496;χ2=0.353, P=0.950;Z=-1.523, P=0.128).Conclusion The expressions of VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 in patients with lung cancer are higher than those in normal control, and the expression of VEGF-C is related with patho-logic type, N stage and M stage.The detection of VEGF-C in peripheral blood of lung cancer is expected to be an assistant marker for the evaluation of lymph node metastasis and blood metastasis, but VEGF-R3 does not show its value.

The paper is to systematically evaluate the effect and safety of Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) combined with first-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) combined with first-line chemotherapy (experiment group) and chemotherapy alone group ( control group) were electronically retrieved from Medline, EMbase, Clinical Trials, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data base. All trials were assessed for quality according to the Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Intervention and then Meta-analysis was performed withRevMan5. 2 Software. A total of 43 RCTs (3433 patients) were included after screening and selecting. Results of Meta-analysis showed that: Objective remission rate (ORR): ORR of experimental group was about 20% higher than that of control group [RR = 1.23, 95% CI (1.11,1.35), P < 0.0001]. Disease control rate (DCR):DCR of SFI combined with first-line chemotherapy was 11% higher than that of first-line chemotherapy alone [RR = 1.11, 95% CI (1.07, 1.16), P < 0.000 01]. Life quality evaluated by Kosovan performance status (KPS) showed that: life quality improvement rate of experimental group was about twice of that in control group [RR = 2.02, 95% CI (1.81, 2.26), P < 0.000 01]. Toxic and side reaction analysis showed that: the incidence of side reactions in experimental group was about 50% lower than that in control group [RR = 0.59, 95% CI (0.53, 0.66), P < 0.000 01]. Immune function test showed that: the function of experimental group was 3.2 (standard deviations) times greater than that of control group [MD = 3.23, 95% CI (2.86, 3.60), P < 0.000 01]. We can see that SFI combined with first-line chemotherapy for NSCLC can increase objective efficacy, improve life quality, decrease toxic and side reactionsinduced by chemotherapy, and improve the immune functions. As most of the included studies in this systematic evaluation had poor quality, the evidence to support conclusion was weak, so it was necessary to conduct more multi-center clinical trials with high quality methods and rigorous design.
