Objective To study the clinical outcomes of 28 pancreatic cancer patients who underwent total pancreaticoduodenectomy.Method The clinical data of 28 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent total pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2009 to March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 28 patients,complications occurred in 11 (39.2％) after the operation.There were 7 patient having Grade Ⅱ,4 Grade] complications.No patient died within 30 days after the operation.Fol low-up of 25 patients showed a median survival of 13.5 months.There were 24 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,and the median survival was 13 months.Conclusions Total pancreaticoduodenectomy could not improve long-term survival but it decreased postoperative complications and improved postoperative quality of life.In selected patients,total pancreaticoduodenectomy could be a rational option.

Objective To investigate the level of soluble interleukin 7 receptor (sIL-7R) in serum of lupus nephritis(LN)patients and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods sIL-7R level in serum of LN patients and healthy controls were measured by ELISA , while total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 of LN patients were measured by BN ProSpec. The level of sIL-7R correlation with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 were analyzed respectively. Results The levelof sIL-7R was higher in serum of LN patients than healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, its expression in serum was increased in LN patients in active stage than in LN patients in stable stage (P < 0.05). The level of sIL-7R was positively assosicated with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein(P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and negatively with complement C3 (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of sIL-7R is upregulated in serum in LN patients and correlated with disease activity and progression, so it may be expected to become a potential marker of disease in prediction.

Objective:To analyze the change rules of quantitative parameters of magnetic resonance-perfusion weighted imaging (MR-PWI) in cynomolgus monkeys with different degrees of liver fibrosis, and to explore the best parameter of MR-PWI in evaluating the severity of liver fibrosis.Methods:Liver fibrosis models of twenty-two cynomolgus monkeys were successfully established by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride and feeding with high-fat food. Among them, 15 cynomolgus monkeys developed into early liver cirrhosis (stage S4 of liver fibrosis). Compatibility group design was adopted, the comparative study on MR-PWI of exchange double blood supply model of liver was carried out in these 15 cynomolgus monkeys with a complete development process of liver fibrosis. The quantitative parameters of MR-PWI included endothelial transfer constant ( ktrans), reflux rate constant ( kep), extravascular extracellular space fractional volume ( ve), fractional plasma volume ( vp) and hepatic artery perfusion index (HPI). The change rules of the above parameters and their correlation with the severity of hepatic fibrosis were analyzed. The best parameter of MR-PWI was explored. Compatibility group design (randomized block design), analysis of variance, SNK- q test, Spearman rank correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:ktrans and kep of MR-PWI of cynomolgus monkeys decreased along with the progress of hepatic fibrosis, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=685.228, 99.718, both P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences between each stage of hepatic fibrosis (S1 to S4) and normal liver tissue (S0) ((0.527±0.038), (0.479±0.035), (0.432±0.032) and (0.387±0.031) mL/min vs.(0.584±0.044) mL/min, all P<0.01; (2.193±0.307), (1.997±0.301), (1.624±0.174) and (1.532±0.130) mL/min vs. (2.565±0.482) mL/min, all P<0.01). There were statistically significant in ktrans and kep between stage S3, S4 severe liver fibrosis and stage S1 mild liver fibrosis, stage S2 moderate liver fibrosis (all P<0.01), however there were no statistically significant differences between stage S3 and stage S4 liver fibrosis, between stage S1 and stage S2 liver fibrosis (all P>0.05). Along with the development of the severity of liver fibrosis, HPIs increased gradually, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=839.883, P<0.01). The HPIs of stage S0 to S4 were 0.244±0.022, 0.317±0.035, 0.421±0.046, 0.546±0.043 and 0.651±0.058, respectively, and there were statistically significant differences between groups (all P<0.01). Along with the progression of the severity of liver fibrosis, vp decreased while ve increased gradually, but there were no statistically significant differences among groups (all P>0.05). The results of Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that ktrans and kep were negatively correlated with the severity of liver fibrosis ( rs=-0.875 and -0.797, both P<0.01), however HPI was positively correlated with the severity of liver fibrosis ( rs=0.959, P<0.01). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that area under curves (AUCs) of ktrans, kep and HPI in the diagnosis of early cirrhosis were 0.852 (95% CI 0.767 to 0.937), 0.799 (95% CI 0.700 to 0.897) and 0.967 (95% CI 0.932 to 1.002), respectively. The best cut-off values were 0.395 mL/min, 1.561 mL/min and 0.590, respectively. The sensitivity was 86.7%, 79.6% and 97.4%, respectively and the specificity was 77.4%, 71.9% and 93.1%, respectively. The thresholds of HPI in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis at stage S1, stage S2, stage S3 and stage S4 were 0.291, 0.376, 0.503 and 0.590, respectively; the sensitivity was 95.7%, 93.8% and 94.4% and 97.4%, respectively and the specificity was 89.5%, 84.7%, 91.3% and 92.7%, respectively. Conclusions:The parameters of MR-PWI change regularly with the development of liver fibrosis in the cynomolgus monkey model, among which HPI is the best parameter for quantitative evaluation of the severity of liver fibrosis.

Objective To determine the effect of COMMD7 inhibition on invasion and migration in liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs),and investigate the possible mechanism.Methods After LCSCs were infected by shRNA lentiviral vectors of COMMD7,adhesion assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the invasion and migration,and phalloidin staining was employed to observe the morphological changes.Western blotting was adopted to measure the expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin and Vimentin.Results COMMD7 knockdown significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of LCSCs.The relative cell quantity of adhesion was 1.00 ± 0.12 and 2.35 ± 0.20 respectively in control cells and infected cells,suggesting there were significantly more adhesive cells in the infected group (P ＜ 0.05).The relative cell quantity per visual field of migration was 1.00 ±0.04 and 0.24±0.03,and that of invasion was 1.00 ±0.05 and 0.24 ±0.04 respectively in the control cells and infected cells,and there were significantly less invasive and migrated cells in the infected group (P ＜0.05).What's more,COMMD7 knockdown also induced some morphological changes of cells corresponding to the weakened abilities of migration and invasion.All the changes above were associated with up-regulation of E-cadherin (P ＜ 0.05) and down-regulation of N-cadherin and Vimentin (P ＜0.05),the molecules related to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET).Conclusion COMMD7 knockdown inhibits the invasion and migration in LCSCs,which may be through its regulation on the MET course.

A novel series of benzyl urea analogues based on the structural modification of sorafenib were synthesized. Their in vitro antitumor activities against MX-1, HepG2, Ketr3 and HT-29 were evaluated using the standard MTT assay. While several target compounds showed inhibitory activity against multiple cancer cell lines, compound 9 was of particular interest, demonstrating IC50 values (5.69-13.6 micromol x L(-1)) comparable to those of sorafenib. Furthermore, compounds 20 and 23 showed more potent inhibitory activity against HT-29 and MX-1 when compared to sorafenib. In particular, compound 20 bearing the N-3-pyridyl moiety not only exhibited greater inhibitory activity against HT-29 cell line (IC50 3.82 micromol x L(-1)), but also had improved solubility at pH 7.2, is worthy of further investigation as a lead to identify novel antitumor agents.

Objective To compare the efficiency of National Early Warning Score (NEWS),Chronic Respiratory Early Warning Score(CREWS) and BAP-65(elevated Blood urea nitrogen,Altered mental status,Pulse＞109bpm,age＞65 years)among patients with AECOPD (acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).Methods Totally 181 patients with AECOPD were investigated by these three scales,and the efficiency of NEWS,CREWS and BAP-65 was compared.Results The scores of NEWS,CREWS and BAP-65 in the death group were higher than those in the survival group and the general ward group(P＜0.01).Regarding the predicted results of hospital death,the area under the ROC curve of NEWS,CREWS and BAP-65 was 0.878,0.836 and 0.774,respectively,and the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05);for predicted results of ICU admission,the area under the ROC curve of NEWS,CREWS and BAP-65 was 0.826,0.813 and 0.716,respectively,and the differences were not statistically significant (P＞0.05).Conclusion NEWS,CREWS and BAP-65 have satisfied predictive efficiency for prognosis,and NEWS and CREWS are much easier and faster to use.

Objective:To synthesize the mental resilience of Chinese children tested with the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA)to evaluate its status as well as the research status. Methods:Four Chinese elec-tronic databases including China Biology Medicine disc (CBM),VIP Database,China National Knowledge Infra-structure (CNKI)and WangFang Database were searched from database established to December 2014. Literatures that reported the mental resilience status of Chinese children tested with RSCA were included. A statistical formula was used to synthesize means and standard deviations to get a total score;the standard mean difference (SMD)and 95% confidence interval (95%CI)of scores measured with RSCA scale were used to conduct meta-analyses usingthe software of Review Manager 5. 2 for comparison between different subgroups. Results:Thirty-nine studies with 16 493 children were included for the final analysis. Quantitative synthesis results showed that the average total score of Chinese children was (3. 3 0. 6 ). The status of psychological resilience was at a good level. The average psychological resilience scores of girls,not left-behind children,urban children,Han children and not-only-child were higher than those of boys [SMD (95%CI):-0. 09 (-0. 14--0. 05 )],left-behind children [SMD (95%CI):-0. 37(-0. 56--0. 19)],rural children [SMD (95%CI):0. 26(0. 13 -0. 38)],minority children [SMD (95%CI):0. 12(0. 04-0. 21)]and only-children [SMD (95%CI):0. 30(0. 16-0. 44)]respectively. Conclusion:The mental resilience of Chinese children is modest with internal diversity.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of routine insertion of double-J stents to prevent major urological complications(MUCs)in kidney transplant recipients.Methods Medline,Embase,Cochrane Library,and Chinese Biomedicine database were searched to locate relevant randomized controlled trials(RCT).Data extraction and assessment of methodologic quality were performed independently by two reviewers.Meta-analysis was performed by Revman 5.0 software.Results Ten RCT(including 1616 patients)were identified.By comparing the routine stent group with the no stent group,the meta-analysis showed:(1)incidence of urine leak,urinary obstruction and UTI was 4 times lower,6 times lower,increased by 52 % respectively(P＜0.0001);(2)Patient and graft survival,rate of acute rejection,delayed graft function and hematuria were of no significant difference.In subgroup analysis,it was found:(1)Compared with the no stent group,the group in which stent duration was≤ 4 weeks had a lower incidence of MUCs and a higher incidence of UTI;meanwhile,the group in which stent duration was ＞ 4 weeks had a much lower incidence of MUCs and the rate of UTI was increased without significant difference;(2)In the RCT of which urethral catheter duration was ＜ 5 days,there were no significant differences between the two groups in MUCs and UTI.In the RCT of which urethral catheter duration was ≥5 days,the stent group had a lower incidence of MUCs and a higher incidence of UTI.Conclusion Routine stenting reduces the incidence of MUCs.Although the double-J stent increases the risk of UTI,it seems that UTI doesn't affect the outcome of transplantation.The stent duration should be within 4 weeks.For the stent recipients,the longer duration of urethral catheter,the lower incidence of MUCs,the higher incidence of UTI;thus,it is up to clinicians to decide the optimal duration of urethral catheter.Long term prescription of 480 mg cotrimoxazole once daily,from the operation day till after stent removal,effectively reduces the risk of UTI associated with stent placement.
