Objective To investigate the expression of kai1 and nm23 mRNA in esophageal carcinoma, and to explore the clinicopathological significance of kail and nm23 mRNA in the progression of esophageal carcinoma. Methods To detect mRNA expression of kai1 and nm23 in 46 cases of esophageal carcinoma and 34 cases normal esophageal tissues closely adjacent to carcinoma by in situ hybridization.Results The incidence of kai1 (91.3 %>64.7 %, χ2 =8.65, P =0.003) and nm23 (43.5 %>5.9 %, χ2=13.86,P <0.001) in esophageal carcinoma was significantly higher than in normal esophageal tissues . The expression of nm23 was correlated with the pathological stages (r =-0.379, P =0.009) and lymph node metastasis (χ2 =6.47, P =0.011). The expression of mRNA had positive correlation between kai1and nm23 in esophageal carcinoma (r =0.298, P =0.007). Conclusion The expression of nm23 may play an important role in the occurrence, development and clinicopathological features of esophageal carcinoma. Combined detection of kai1 and nm23 may be helpful in further directing the clinical therapy of esophageal carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 173 patients who underwent PD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from November 2017 to May 2020 were collected. There were 107 males and 66 females, aged (61±11)years. All patients underwent PD and patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage after surgery were treated with non-surgical or surgical treatments. Observation indicators: (1) gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD and treatment situations; (2) influencing factors for delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed by Mean±SD, and count data were expressed by absolute numbers or percentages. Univariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD and treatment situations: of 173 patients, 15 cases had gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD, including 2 cases with early gastrointestinal hemorrhage and 13 cases with delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Among the 13 cases with delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 3 cases were mild hemorrhage, 10 cases were severe hemorrhage, 4 cases were gastric mucosal hemorrhage, 3 cases were gastric ulcer hemorrhage, 3 cases were gastrointestinal anastomotic hemorrhage, 2 cases were cholangio-jejunal anastomotic hemorrhage, 1 case was biliary arteriovenous fistula hemorrhage. Of the 13 patients with delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 4 cases were treated only with conservative treatment, 4 cases were treated with interventional treatment, 3 cases were treated with endoscopic treatment and 2 cases were treated with surgical treatment. Of the 13 patients with delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 12 were cured and 1 died. (2) Influencing factors for delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD: results of univariate analysis showed that albumin, total bilirubin, pancreatic fistula and history of gastric ulcer were the influencing factors for delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD ( χ2=7.888, 6.555, 4.252, 6.253, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that total bilirubin >200 μmol/ L, pancreatic fistula and history of gastric ulcer were independent risk factors for delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD ( odds ratio=4.122, 4.290, 5.267, 95% confidence interval as 1.009-16.844, 1.149-16.022, 1.195-23.221, P<0.05). Conclusion:Total bilirubin >200 μmol/L, pancreatic fistula and history of gastric ulcer are independent risk factors for delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage after PD.

Objective To investigate the value of cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTn Ⅰ) in diagnosis of multi-trauma patients combined with myocardiac contusion.Methods A retrospective review was made on 98 cases of multi-trauma patients combined with blunt chest trauma.The groups were identified according to whether the patients were associated with myocardiac contusion or not,including myocardiac contusion group (n =48) and non-myocardiac contusion group (n =50).The detection and diagnosis of myocardiac contusion in the use of different cut-off points of cTn Ⅰ and creatine kinase MB isoenzyme/creatine kinase (CKMB/CK) or their combination were compared between groups.Results cTn Ⅰ ≥0.60 ng/ml had a specificity of 90.0%,a sensitivity of 64.6% and a Youden index of 0.54 in diagnosis of myocardiac contusion,indicating a best diagnostic accuracy as a single parameter.As compared with the single use of cTn Ⅰ ≥ 0.60 ng/ml or CKMB/CK ≥ 6% in diagnosis of myocardiac contusion,the combined use of two parameters presented a significantly higher diagnostic sensitivity (85.4% vs 64.6% ; 85.4% vs 27.1% respectively,both P < 0.05),but no markedly lower specificity (84.0% vs 90.0% ; 84.0% vs 88.0% respectively,both P >0.05).cTn Ⅰ level was positively correlated with ISS score of the multi-trauma patients combined with myocardiac contusion (r =0.534,P < 0.01).Mortality rate in patients with severely increased cTn Ⅰ was much higher than that in patients with mild-moderately increased cTn Ⅰ (P < 0.01).Conclusions cTn Ⅰ ≥0.60 ng/ml presents a high sensitivity and preferable specificity for diagnosis of multiple trauma patients combined with myocardiac contusion.It can be served as a biomarker for diagnosis of MC and its combination with CKMB/CK≥6% improves the diagnostic sensitivity.cTn Ⅰ can be used as an assessment indicator for the early risk stratification and outcome in multi-trauma patients combined with myocardiac contusion.
