OBJECTIVETo investigate the prognostic value of lymphatic vascular invasion (LVI) for stage I( gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy.
METHODSClinicopathological and intact follow-up data of 469 stage I( gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy with R0 resection and were pathologically proven as gastric adenocarcinoma without other malignancy at the Department of Digestive Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, The Fourth Military Medical University between February 2009 and December 2012 were retrospectively collected. Chi square test was used to examine the relationship between LVI and clinicopathological data; Log-rank test was used for survival analysis; Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis to explore the prognostic influence of LVI on stage I( gastric cancer patients.
RESULTSA total of 469 patients were enrolled, including 360 male (76.8%) and 109 female patients (23.2%). Median age was 58(25-82) years. There were 114 T1a cases (24.3%), 195 T1b cases (41.6%), and 160 T2 cases (34.1%). There were 439 (93.6%) cases without lymph node metastasis and 30 cases with lymph node metastasis. Presence of LVI was found in 52 patients (11.1%). LVI was closely associated with tumor grade, depth of invasion and status of lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), rather than gender, age, tumor location and tumor diameter (all P>0.05). LVI detection rate was higher in poorly differentiated and undifferentiated group (14.3%, 32/223) than that in moderately and well differentiated group (8.1%, 20/246) (χ=4.590, P=0.032). LVI detection rate was higher in T2 (14.4%, 23/160) and T1b (13.3%, 26/195) group than that in T1a group (2.6%,3/114)(χ=11.020, P=0.004). LVI detection rate was higher in patients with lymph node metastasis (30.0%, 9/30) compared to those without lymph node metastasis (9.8%, 43/439) (χ=11.629, P=0.001). Median follow-up time was 63(3-74) months. There were totally 46 deaths (9.8%). The 5-year overall survival rate was 90.2%. The 5-year overall survival rate was 82.7% in patients with LVI and 91.1% without LVI, which was significantly different (P=0.039). Univariate analysis showed that age (P=0.012), AJCC T stage (8th edition) (P=0.011), and LVI (P=0.043) were closely associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients, while gender, tumor location, tumor diameter, tumor grade, lymph node metastasis or postoperative chemotherapy were not associated to the prognosis (all P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that only age(HR=2.038, 95%CI:1.126 to 3.686, P=0.019) and advanced T stage (T1b: HR=1.427, 95%CI:0.554 to 3.678; T2: HR=2.926, 95%CI:1.199 to 7.140; P=0.017) were independent prognostic factors of stage I( gastric cancer patients (both P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSLVI is not an independent prognostic factor of stage I( gastric cancer patients. In clinical practice, we should consider adjuvant chemotherapy prudently for stage I( gastric cancer patients with LVI.

Objective:To produce 161Tb from enriched 160Gd 2O 3 isotope-enriched target material and realize domestic production of the novel medical isotope 161Tb. Methods:The 160Gd 2O 3 isotope-enriched target material was irradiated with neutrons by the China Mianyang Research Reactor (CMRR). The no-carrier-added 161Tb product was obtained after the processes of target broken, sample dissolution, separation and purification with lanthanide (LN) resin and solution replacement with diglycolamide (DGA) column. Various key indicators such as γ spectral purity, metal impurity content, specific activity, radiochemical purity, and radioactive concentration were used to conduct the quality inspection and the control of 161Tb products. Results:161TbCl 3 of 33.4 GBq was obtained in a single time with the radioactive concentration of 16.8 GBq/ml, nuclear purity more than 99.9%, and radiochemical purity of 99.2%. Metal impurity content was met the established standards, with the specific activity of 6.02×10 17 Bq/mol. The radiochemical purities of 161Tb labeling with 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid- D-Phe1-Tyr3-Thr8-octreotide (DOTATATE) after 0 and 72 h were 100% and 95.8% respectively. Conclusion:The preparation of no-carrier-added 161Tb by using LN resin has the advantages of high separation performance and high sample loading, which has great significance in the field of medical isotope preparation and lays a good nuclide guarantee for the research and development of domestic 161Tb-labeled drugs.

Alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.)is the most important legume forage crop worldwide with high nutritional value and yield.For a long time,the breeding of alfalfa was hampered by lacking reliable information on the autotetraploid genome and molecular markers linked to important agro-nomic traits.We herein reported the de novo assembly of the allele-aware chromosome-level genome of Zhongmu-4,a cultivar widely cultivated in China,and a comprehensive database of genomic variations based on resequencing of 220 germplasms.Approximate 2.74 Gb contigs(N50 of 2.06 Mb),accounting for 88.39%of the estimated genome,were assembled,and 2.56 Gb contigs were anchored to 32 pseudo-chromosomes.A total of 34,922 allelic genes were identified from the allele-aware genome.We observed the expansion of gene families,especially those related to the nitrogen metabolism,and the increase of repetitive elements including transposable elements,which probably resulted in the increase of Zhongmu-4 genome compared with Medicago truncatula.Population structure analysis revealed that the accessions from Asia and South America had rela-tively lower genetic diversity than those from Europe,suggesting that geography may influence alfalfa genetic divergence during local adaption.Genome-wide association studies identified 101 sin-gle nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)associated with 27 agronomic traits.Two candidate genes were predicted to be correlated with fall dormancy and salt response.We believe that the allele-aware chromosome-level genome sequence of Zhongmu-4 combined with the resequencing data of the diverse alfalfa germplasms will facilitate genetic research and genomics-assisted breeding in variety improvement of alfalfa.

Objective To analyze and explore the gender-dependent differences of the psychological adjustment induced by baduanjin(eight-trigram boxing)by comparing the total and spatial changes of β1 and β2 electroencephalogram(EEG)power among male and female college students before and after per-forming baduanjin.Methods College students were recruited as volunteers,and were divided into male and female groups.All volunteers received baduanjin training.β1 and β2 EEG power of two groups was measured and compared with NT9200 electroencephalograph before and after performing baduanjin.The results were collected to analyze the differences of absolute power in two groups before and after baduanjin training.Results General comparison:the absolute power of the β1 and β2 band in the female group was significantly higher than that in the male group before training (P >0.05).The absolute power of the β1 and β2 band increased significantly in the male group after training (P >0.01).There was no sig-nificant difference in the female group before training(P >0.05).In addition,there was no significant difference between male group and female group in the absolute power of the β1 and β2 band after train-ing (P >0.05).Spatial comparison:there were significant differences in the distribution of β1 and β2 bands on the EEG between male and female groups before training.Compared with the distribution of β1 and β2 in different groups before training,the distribution of β1 on different groups tended to be consist-ent after training.The distribution of β2 band presented an increasing tendency on the whole brain region after training,while the female group presented decreasing tendency on most brain regions after training. Function coordination of left and right cerebral hemispheres:compared with EEG before training,the cor-relation between right and left cerebral hemispheres shown on β1 and β2 band increased significantly or changed from negative to positiv correlation.Conclusion Psychological adjustment may be induced by baduanjin,and it has the effects of removing differences of physiological movement between male and fe-male volunteers.In other words,when students perform baduanjin,mental and physiological movement in brain presents with similar pattern.
