Purpose To examine the expression of Fascin-1 and β-catenin protein and K-ras gene mutation in colorectal adenocarcinoma, and to explore their role in progression of colorectal neoplasm and their relevance. Methods Fascin-1 and β-catenin were analyzed by use of immunohistochemistry En Vision two-step. K-ras gene mutation was detected by ARMS method.Relationship between overexpression of Fascin-1, the nuclear expression of β-catenin, and the mutations of K-ras gene and clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed, the correlation between them was also analyzed. Results In 112 colorectal adenocarcinoma samples, the overexpression rate of Fascin-1 protein was 27.7% (31/112), significantly higher than non-neoplastic mucosa (P < 0.01). The high nuclear expression rate of β-catenin was 29.5% (33/112) in adenocarcinoma and non-neoplastic mucosa respectively with a significant difference between two groups (P < 0.01). High expression rate of Fascin-1 protein and β-catenin were correlated significantly with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.022, P = 0.027), and TNM staging (P =0.042, P = 0.019) in colorectal adenocarcinoma. The overexpression of Fascin-1 protein was correlated with tumor location (P = 0.004). The mutation rate of K-ras gene was 34.8% (39/112), which showed no correlation with age, gender, tumor size, grade of differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (P> 0.05). There was a correlation between the overexpressison of Fascin-1 protein, the nuclear expression of β-catenin and the mutation of K-ras gene (rs= 0.252, rs= 0.258, P < 0.05). The overexpression of Fascin-1 protein positively correlated with the nuclear expression of β-catenin (rs= 0.213, P < 0.05). Conclusion Fascin-1 protein and β-catenin protein are involved in invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer and are associated with K-ras gene mutation. K-ras may promote the overexpression of Fascin-1 by virtue of nuclear expression ofβ-catenin, which provided a new research direction on the treatment of K-ras gene mutated colorectal adenocarcinoma.
6. Current situation and outlook of adult extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2019;39(10):855-857
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(ECPR),as an important treatment for patients with refractory cardiac arrest(CA), can improve the prognosis of patients with CA, which has developed rapidly in recent years;however, the development of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation technology is not balanced at home and abroad, and most medical institutions are still in the initial stage. ECPR requires multidisciplinary cooperation. With the development of ECPR technology, CA patients with pregnancy, trauma or aortic dissection can also get good prognosis by ECPR. ECPR for adults has good prospects.

BACKGROUNDPulmonary embolism (PE) is rare and seldom considered in adolescent patients; however it occurs with a greater frequency than is generally recognized, and it is a potentially fatal condition. The aim of the current study was to understand its epidemiology, clinical features and the cause of delay of its diagnosis in adolescents.
METHODSA retrospective analysis of nine adolescents with acute PE admitted to the Peking University Third Hospital over the past 16-year period was performed. The epidemiology, clinical features and risk factors of the adolescents were described and compared with those of adults and elderly patients. The time to diagnosis and misdiagnosed diseases were analyzed. Pretest probability of PE was assessed retrospectively by the Wells score and revised Geneva score.
RESULTSThe incidence of PE was 43.6 per 100 000 hospitalized adolescents in our hospital. The incidence of PE in adolescents was much lower than that in adults and PE is diagnosed in about 1/50 of elderly people. The clinical features in adolescents were similar to those in adults. But fever and chest pain were more common in adolescents (P < 0.05). The major risk factors included surgery, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), thrombocytopenia, long-term oral glucocorticoids and trauma. The mean diagnostic time was (7.8 ± 8.4) days. Six cases had a delayed diagnosis. The mean delay time from symptom onset to diagnosis was (11.0 ± 8.8) days. The time of presentation to diagnosis in patients initially admitted to the emergency department was less than one day, and was much shorter than the time in outpatients, (9.4 ± 7.5) days. Most of the patients were initially misdiagnosed with a respiratory tract infection. Most patients' values of Wells score or revised Geneva score were in the moderate or high clinical probability categories; 88% by Well score vs. 100% by revised Geneva score.
CONCLUSIONSPE was seldom considered in the adolescent patients by physicians, especially outpatient physicians, so the diagnosis was often delayed. If adolescent patients complain of dyspnea or chest pain or syncope with/without fever, and they had risk factors such as surgery, thrombocytopenia and trauma, PE should be considered and included in the differential diagnosis.

Objective:To comparative analyze mammographic and clinicopathological findings of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and DCIS with microinvasion (DCISM), and to investigate the predictive factors for DCISM.Methods:A total of 626 patients with DCISM and DCIS confirmed by surgery and pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2016 to July 2020 were collected and underwent preoperative mammography. The X-ray findings of DCISM and DCIS patients were classified and diagnosed according to the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) criteria. The differences in clinicopathological and radiographic findings between DCISM and DCIS patients were analyzed using χ 2 test or Fisher exact test. The risk factors of DCISM were evaluated by using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. Results:Among the 626 cases, 171 were diagnosed as DCISM, 455 were diagnosed as DCIS. Large diameter (≥2.7 cm), high nuclear grade, comedo type, axillary lymph node metastasis, high Ki67 proliferation index, negativity of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor were found to be predictors of DCISM in the univariate analysis (all P<0.05). And large diameter (≥2.7 cm)(OR 2.229,95% CI 1.505-3.301, P<0.001), high nuclear grade(OR 1.711,95%CI 1.018-2.875, P=0.043) and axillary lymph node metastasis(OR 4.140,95% CI 1.342-12.773, P=0.013) were found to be independent predictors of DCISM in the multivariate analysis (all P<0.05). Mammographically, the lesion types, the presence and distribution of calcification were statistically significant between DCIS and DCISM patients (χ 2=17.42, 9.65, 9.10, P<0.05). Up to 17.6% (80/455) of DCIS were occult leisions, and DCISM showed more lesions with calcification in mass, asymmetry, and architectural distortion (49.1%, 84/171). Grouped calcifications were usually associated with DCIS (41.5%, 120/289), while regional calcification were commonly found in DCISM (35.9%, 47/131). Conclusions:Lesions with calcification and regional calcification were more likely associated with DCISM on mammography. Large diameter (≥2.7 cm), high nuclear grade and axillary lymph node metastasis were found to be independent predictors of DCISM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficiency of a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) delivery system by using liposome via PNA-DNA hybrids and to test the inhibitive action of antisense PNA on expression of multidrug resistance (MDR) related P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH.
METHODSTwo antisense PNAs were designed targeting at MDR-1 mRNA and then combined with partially complement DNAs respectively. The hybrids were delivered into cells using cationic liposome. The transfection efficiency, expression of P-gp and MDR-1 mRNA, intracellular adarimycin (ADM) were measured by flow cytometry, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
RESULTSTransfection of PNA increased the cell average fluorescence intensity significantly and the extent of increase was dependent on the concentration of PNA. After being transfected by both PNAs, P-gp expression of SK-N-SH cells decreased significantly and the intracellular ADM level was increased by about 3 times. The level of MDR-1 mRNA expression slightly decreased after transfection, but no statistical significance was observed.
CONCLUSIONSPNA can be delivered into tumor cells in form of PNA-DNA hybrids by cationic liposome. Properly designed antisense PNA can inhibit MDR related P-gp expression of SK-N-SH cells efficiently and specifically.
