Objective To investigate the expression of KLF4 in cervical carcinoma and its significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry and tissue microarray were used to examine the expression of KLF4 in 39 cases of carcinoma, 30 cases of normal cervical epithelial tissues and 28 cases of cervical cancer in situ. Results Moderate to strong nuclear staining for KLF4 was found in normal tissues and cervical cancer in situ. Interestingly, KLF4 expression was lost in 16 (P<0.05) of 39 carcinoma cases. However, KLF4 expression was not associated with clinicopathologic parameters, including tumor stage and differentiation. Conclusion Our observations indicate that KLF4 may function as a tumor suppressor in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer.

BACKGROUND:Hemiarthroplasty is a proven method for reconstruction of the hip joint function, especialy for the elderly patients who cannot tolerate the total hip arthroplasty. However, for the patients with osteoporosis, there are stil more controversial in clinical practice about using cemented or cementless femoral prosthesis for hemiarthroplasty. OBJECTIVE: To observe the repair effect of cemented or cementless femoral prosthesis when were used for hemiarthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis. METHODS:The clinical data from 105 patients treated with hemiarthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed. Osteoporosis was diagnosed in these patients using the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry before surgery.Patients were divided into bone cement group (n=56) and cementless group (n=49) depending on different types of femoral stem prosthesis. The difference of efficacy between cemented or cementless femoral prosthesis when were used for hemiarthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis was analyzed by comparing the operative time, volume of drainage, post-operative Harris scores of hip joint function and radiographic assessment (prosthesis subsidence, osteolysis, severe stress shielding, heterotopic ossification) during the folow-up after the replacement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the process of hemiarthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis, the operative time in the cement group was significantly longer than that in the cementless group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the postoperative volume of drainage between these two groups (P > 0.05). At the 1, 3, 6 and 12 of folow-up after replacement, there were no significant differences in the Harris score of hip joint function, total effective rate and radiographic assessment between these two groups (P> 0.05). These results suggest that in the process of hemiarthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis, the clinical efficacy of cementless femoral prosthesis is similar to the cement femoral prosthesis, therefore two prostheses can al be selected; however, the operative time of the cement femoral prosthesis is longer than the cementless femoral prosthesis, so we can give priority to the cementless femoral prosthesis for patients with osteoporosis who can’t tolerate a long operative time because of the poor basic condition.

Objective:To study the optimal surgical timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) for acute cholecystitis.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients with acute cholecystitis who were treated at Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from April 2016 to October 2020 with initial PTGBD followed by LC. These patients were divided into three groups according to the time intervals between LC with PTGBD. Patients who underwent LC 3~4 weeks after PTGBD were in the short interval group ( n=67); patients who underwent LC 5~8 weeks after PTGBD were in the intermediate interval group ( n=78); and patients who underwent LC>8 weeks after PTGBD were in the long interval group ( n=73). The baseline and perioperative data of the three groups were compared. Results:In 218 patients, 97 were males and 121 were females, aged (72.1±8.4) years. Before LC, the gallbladder wall in the short interval group (4.77±0.62) mm was significantly thicker than that in the intermediate interval group (3.85±0.34) mm and the long interval group (3.81±0.25) mm (all P<0.05). Intraoperative blood loss in the intermediate interval group was significantly less than that in the short interval group ( P<0.05). The operation time, conversion to laparotomy, placement of drainage tube, postoperative hospital stay and total hospitalization expenses in the intermediate interval group were significantly better than those in the other two groups (all P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the intermediate interval group was significantly lower than that in the short interval group [2.56% (2/78) vs. 14.93% (10/67)], and the long interval group [2.56% (2/78) vs. 12.33% (9/73), all P<0.05]. Conclusion:The best timing for sequential LC after PTGBD in acute cholecystitis was shown in this study to be 5 to 8 weeks after PTGBD.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the perioperative clinical data of the elderly patients with acute cholecystitis who underwent LC after PTGBD in Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from June 2021 to February 2022. The 36 patients who underwent ICG fluorescence navigation were enrolled as experimental group, and the 26 patients who did not undergo ICG fluorescence navigation during the same period of time were enrolled as control group. Preoperative general information was analyzed for both groups, as well as time to identify the biliary system during surgery, time of operation, intraoperative blood loss, bile tract injury, conversion to laparotomy, time to first flatus after surgery, time to ambulation, time to removing abdominal drainage tube, time to return to normal diet, and length of postoperative hospital stay. The group t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Results Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly shorter time to identify the biliary system during surgery (19.9±3.7 min vs 36.5±5.9 min, t =13.56, P < 0.05), a significantly shorter time of operation (50.6±8.5 min vs 80.9±10.6 min, t =12.48, P < 0.05), and a significantly lower amount of intraoperative blood loss ( χ 2 =6.91, P < 0.05). No patient was converted to laparotomy in the experimental group, while 2 patients in the control group were converted to laparotomy, and no bile duct injury was observed in either group. Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly shorter time to ambulation (10.2±2.4 hours vs 16.6±3.2 hours, t =8.92, P < 0.05), time to removing abdominal drainage tube (20.1±3.4 hours vs 30.7±4.7 hours, t =10.2, P < 0.05), time to return to normal diet (20.3±3.8 hours vs 31.2±6.0 hours, t =8.68, P < 0.05), and length of postoperative hospital stay [3.3 (3.0-4.3) days vs 5.3 (5.0-6.2) days, Z =5.91, P < 0.05]. Conclusion ICG fluorescence navigation can visualize the extrahepatic biliary system during LC after PTGBD in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis, which may help to achieve accurate operation, reduce the risk of surgery, shorten the time of operation, and accelerate postoperative recovery.
