Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety between spleen total resection splenectomy and spleen partial splenectomy in the treatment of patients with traumatic spleen rupture.Methods:84 cases of patients with traumatic spleen rupture from March 2013 to March 2016 were selected and divided into two groups.42 cases in the spleen total resection group were treated with spleen total resection,while the other 42 cases in the spleen partial nephrectomy group were treated with spleen partial splenectomy.The operative effect,the levels of platelet count,serum IgA,IgG,IgM,CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 + / CD8 + levels before and after treatment,the incidence of complications were compared between two groups.Results:The intraoperative blood loss,exhaust time,length of hospital stay of spleen partial nephrectomy group were shorter than those of the spleen total resection group,but the operation time of research group was longer than that of the spleen total resection group (P＜0.05).The platelet count,CD8+ of spleen partial nephrectomy group were lower than those of the spleen total resection group (P＜0.05).The IgA,IgG,IgM,CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+ of spleen partial nephrectomy group were significantly higher than those of the spleen total resection group (P＜0.05).The incidence rate of complications in the spleen partial nephrectomy group was lower than that of the spleen total resection group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Spleen partial splenectomy was more effective than spleen total resection in the treatment of traumatic splenic rupture,which had little effect on the platelet and immune function.

Objectives: . The purpose of this study was to investigate serum pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG1) expression in laryngeal carcinoma and its relationship with the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis. Methods: . Expression of serum PTTG1 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 110 patients with laryngeal carcinoma and 60 patients with vocal cord polyps. Expression of the serum PTTG1 levels relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed. Results: . In laryngeal carcinoma patients’ serum, the PTTG1 median concentration was 141.43 pg/mL (interquartile range [IQR], 111.387 to 160.837 pg/mL), significantly higher than that of the vocal cord polyp group of 94.01 pg/mL (IQR, 81.26 to 108.59 pg/mL), and the difference was statistically significant (z=–6.715, P<0.001). PTTG1 expression with lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, and patients with laryngeal carcinoma was significantly correlated with the tumor differentiation degree (P<0.05). The total survival rate of the PTTG1 high expression group was significantly lower than the low expression group, and the difference of total survival time of the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion . The PTTG1 expression level can be used as an index for evaluating prognosis of laryngeal cancer. High PTTG1 expression is one of the factors of poor prognosis of laryngeal carcinoma patients.

Objective: The method was established for the detection of whole blood indium and serum indium. By comparing the results of two samples, it is possible to explore the significance of whole blood indium and serum indium in the population exposed to indium compounds. Methods: According to GBZ/T 295-2017 and GBZ 294-2017, the whole blood and serum samples were diluted 20 times by 0.5% nitric acid solution (including 0.05% Triton X-100) . Under the standard mode of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) , whole blood indium and serum indium of indirect exposure group, low exposure group and high exposure group in an indium mine were detected with 20 μg/L rhodium standard solution as internal standard. Results: This method has a working range of 0.00~5.00 μg/L and a correlation coefficien t>0.999. The detection limit and quantitative lower limit of whole blood indium were 0.076 μg/L and 0.26 μg/L respectively. Those of serum indium were 0.06 μg/L and 0.20 μg/L accordingly. The recovery rates of serum and whole blood samples were 88.5%~95.6% and 93.0%~101%. Intra batch precisions were 1.3%~4.4% and 1.9%~3.5% and inter batch precision were 2.4%~6.1% and 2.1%~4.6% in two samples. There were no significant differences between whole blood indium and serum indium in indirect exposure group. The serum indium level was lower than the detection limit in 3 cases, while their whole blood indium was only below the quantitative lower limit. However, in other groups whole blood indium level was significantly higher than serum indium level (P<0.05) and even was two-fold in the high exposure group. Conclusion The detection of whole blood indium is more sensitive than that of serum indium, which can reflect the internal exposure level more accurately in exposure population. Therefore, the whole blood indium is of more important referential value to health examination and poisoning diagnosis in the population exposed to indium and its compounds.

Objective The aim of this study was to set up a large,longitudinal and prospective database to compare the clinical manifestations in human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 positive and negative patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS) based on real-world evidence in Chinese population.Methods A total of 897 outpatients with confirmed AS were recruited consecutively by smart management system for spondyloarthritis (SMSP) from April 13,2016 to June 6,2017 in Chinese PLA General Hospital from 30 provinces and autonomous regions.801 patients with HLA-B27 data were included in the analysis.Demographic and clinical parameters including Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI),Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI),ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS),arthritis,enthesitis,Bath ankylosing spondylitis metrology index (BASMI),erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between HLA-B27 positive and negative groups.Results A total of 801 patients were included in the analysis with an average age of (30.7± 8.8) years.There were 659 males and 142 females and HLA-B27 was present in 88.0％(705/801).Males were significantly more in HLA-B27 positive patients [83.3％ (587/705) vs.75.0％ (72/96);P=0.047].The average age at disease onset was (22.3 ±7.6)years in HLA-B27 positive patients and (24.4 + 8.7) years in HLA-B27 negative ones (P=0.028).There was significant difference in diagnose delay between two groups [14.3(2.5,43.6)months in HLA-B27 positive patients vs.20.3(5.0,67.4) months in HLA-B27 negative ones,P=0.041].Anterior uveitis was found to be significantly more common in HLA-B24 positive patients [18.9％ (133/705) vs.7.3％ (7/96),P=0.005],and knee involvement less common in HLA-B27 positive patients [4.0％ (27/682) vs.10.0％(9/90),P=0.010],conversely.CRP[6.5(3.0,16.4)mg/L vs.3.5(1.6,12.3)mg/L] and ESR[11.0(4.0,24.0)mrn/1h vs.7.0(3.0,16.0)mm/1h] were significantly higher in HLA-B27 positive patients(P=0.005,0.013,respectively).But no differences in BASDAI,ASDAS,BASFI and BASMI were obtained between two groups.Conclusions HLA-B27 positive patients had a higher proportion of males,a younger age of onset and a greater risk for occurrence of anterior uveitis,suggesting a poorer prognosis.

Objective To screen the expression profile of circular RNA associated with chemo-resistance in osteosarcoma,and to analyze and identify its possible molecular functions.Methods Three pairs of matched drug-resistant and sensitive human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG63/DXR vs MG63,U2OS/DXR vs U2OS,KHOS/DXR vs KHOS) were first tested by CCK-8 assay for three commonly used osteosarcoma chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin,cisplatin,and methotrexate);then,using next-generation high-throughput RNA sequencing technology,comparative analysis of circRNA expression was performed in three pairs of matched multidrug-resistant and sensitive human osteosarcoma cell lines;followed by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) to confirm the reliability and accuracy of sequencing data in chemotherapy-resistant osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues.In addition,a variety of bioinformatics analyses,including GO,KEGG pathway analysis and the construction of circRNA-miRNA networks,were performed to predict potential molecular functions of differentially expressed circRNAs and to construct relevant regulatory pathways or networks.Results Three osteosarcoma-resistant cells (MG63/DXR,U2OS/DXR,KHOS/DXR) were significantly resistant to the three common osteosarcoma chemotherapy drugs compared with control cells (MG63,U2OS,KHOS),which laid a solid foundation for the further experiments.RNA sequencing revealed a total of 80 circRNAs differentially expressed between the two groups.Compared with drug-sensitive osteosarcoma cells,57 circRNAs were upregulated and 23 circRNAs weredownregulated in the drug-resistant osteosarcoma cell lines (fold change≥ 2 or ≤0.5,P ＜ 0.05).Tenrandomly selected circRNAs were verified by qRT-PCR and the results showed that 9 of the 10 circRNAswere consistent with the sequencing results.In addition,KEGG pathway analysis showed that 56 pathways were significantly enriched in differentially expressed circRNAs,including Glycolysis/gluconeogenesis,ABC transporter,VEGF signaling pathway,and so on.Moreover,thedifferently expressedcircRNA-hsa_circ_0004674 with the highestfold change was highly expressedin the chemotherapy-resistant osteosarcoma cells and tissues,associated with poor prognosis in osteosarcoma patients.Some potential endogenous competitive RNA (ceRNA) regulatory pathways associated with hsa_circ_0004674,such as hsa_circ_0004674-miR-490-3p-ABCC2 and hsa_circ_0004674-miR-1254-EGFR,were constructed by use of the authoritative databases (target scan and miRanda) and literature searching and the miRNA response element sequences (MREs) between miRNAs that have a potential ceRNA regulatory relationship with hsa_circ_0004674 were alsopredicted.Conclusion CircRNA is closely related to tumor progression and may play a role in ostoosarcoma chemo-resistance.Besides,hsa_circ_0004674 may be a potential candidate for reversing drug resistance of osteosarcoma.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative alterations and management of coagulation function in patients of massive blood transfusion during retroperitoneal tumor (RT)resection.Methods:Fourty-seven RT patients at Peking University International Hospital from Jan 2016 to Dec 2021 undergoing resection with massive blood transfusion more than 20 U within 24 h were reviewed for coagulation function before and after surgery.Results:Intraoperative bleeding was 3 000-25 800 ml, 10 patients had blood loss ≥10 000 ml. During the operation, (25.3±9.9) U of red blood cells were transfused, (2 720±1 369) ml plasma transfused, and (2.4±3.3) U platelets were transfused in 6 patients. Fourty-five patients received intraoperative albumin of (79.5±46.5) g; All 47 patients received fibrinogen of (2.3±1.3) g; Prothrombin complex was given in 45 patients (1 205±807) U. Preoperative hemoglobin was statistically different compared to postoperatively and days 1, 3 and 5 ( W=1 790, P<0.001; W=1 672, P<0.001; W=1 704, P<0.001; W=1 486, P=0.004);As with platelets, the difference was also statistically significant compared to postoperative days 1, 3, and 5 ( W=2 153, P<0.001; W=2 092, P<0.001; W=1 732, P<0.001); Preoperative albumin was different compared to postoperative days 1 and 3 ( W=1 568, P<0.001; W=1 578, P<0.001,); Preoperative fibrinogen was different compared to postoperative day 1 ( W=1 964, P<0.001). PT and APTT were prolonged on postoperative days 1 and 3 ( W=628, P<0.001, W=804, P=0.023) ( W=661, P<0.001, W=796, P=0.02). Patient's preoperative fibrin degradation products and D-dimer were above the normal value and were higher on postoperative days 3 and 5 ( W=498, P<0.001, W=345, P<0.001). Conclusions:Coagulation disorders occur perioperatively in patients with massive transfusion while undergoing surgery for RT.The implementation of ratiional transfusion strategy and close postoperative survey and management of coagulation dysfunction help avoid the coagulation related morbidities.
