Objective:
To study the associations of rs 7498665 polymorphism located in the SH2B adaptor protein 1 gene with obesity related phenotypes in Chinese children and adolescents, and to explore the gene lifestyles interactions.
Methods:
Anthropometric measurements and lifestyles investigation were conducted in 3 305 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old recruited from Beijing. The matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) was used to genotype rs 7498665 polymorphism. Multiple Logistic and linear regressions were performed to analyze the associations of rs 7498665 with obesity and obesity related phenotypes by different levels of physical activity and diet behavior.
Results:
The G allele of rs 7498665 polymorphism showed 37%, 101%, 45% and 64% high risk of obesity in population groups with unhealthy dietary intake, not eating breakfast daily, high consumption of sugar sweetened beverages or not daily moderate to vigorous physical activity ( P <0.05). In the further analysis, the G allele of rs 7498665 polymorphism was associated with obesity in population with unhealthy lifestyle score ( OR=1.63, 95%CI=1.23-2.17, P <0.01). There were similar results with obesity related phenotypes, with the genecomprehensive lifestyle behaviors interactions were significant ( P gene×lifestyle behaviors <0.05).
Conclusion
The present study suggests the interactive effect of rs 7498665 polymorphism located in the SH2B1 and unhealth lifestyle on childhood obesity and related phenotypes.

Objective:
To study the relationship between rs1136410 polymorphism in poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 gene (PARP-1) with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children and adolescents, and to provide a reference for demonstrating the mechanism of obesity and NAFLD of children and adolescents and making the early prevention strategies.
Methods:
In total, 2 030 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old were recruited. Anthropometric measurements were performed. Liver B-ultrasound detection were performed in a subgroup. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TDF MS) was used for genotyping the rs1136410 polymorphism. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between rs1136410 polymorphism and obesity or NAFLD in children and adolescents.
Results:
Totally, 1 325 subjects were in non-obese group and 705 subjects were in obese group. The frequency of G allele and A allele were 43.86% and 56.14%. After adjusting for gender, age, and study population, the risk of obesity increased by 1.17 times for each additional A allele of rs1136410 polymorphism(OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.02-1.33, P=0.03). And the risk of NAFLD increased by 1.43 times for each additional A allele of rs1136410 polymorphism(OR=1.43, 95%CI=1.11-1.85, P=0.01). After further adjustment for BMI, rs1136410 polymorphism was not associated with NAFLD(P=0.70).
Conclusion
The rs1136410 polymorphism in PARP-1 gene is associated with obesity and NAFLD in children and adolescents. The effect of the gene polymorphism on NAFLD is mediated by BMI.

Objective To investigate the vasorelaxant effect and possible mechanism of niclosamide ethanolamine (NEN)on isolated rat coronary artery(RCA). Methods Wire myograph was used to record myogenic tone of vessels. The vasorelaxant effect of NEN was studied in RCA precontracted with either KCl or U46619. Study of related inhibitors was performed to investigate possible involvement of potassium channels and the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway in vasorelaxation. The effect of NEN on Ca2+mobilization was determined by observing vasoconstrictor-induced contractions in tissue solution deprived of Ca2+followed by Ca2+restoration. Results NEN(0.5-3.0 μmol/L) relaxed RCA precontracted with KCl or U46619 in a concentration-dependent manner. MAPK inhibitors(PD98059 and SB239063)reduced the relaxant effect of NEN,while the potassium-channel blockers(tetraethylamine,4-aminopyridine, BaCl2,and glibenclamide)did not significantly affect relaxation. NEN specifically inhibited the contraction component dependent on extracellular Ca2+influx in vessels stimulated with KCl and U46619, with a negligible effect on the component dependent on intracellular Ca2+release. Conclusions NEN exhibits vasodilator properties in RCA. Inhibition of extracellular Ca2+influx and activation of the MAPK signaling pathway may be involved in NEN-induced RCA vasorelaxation.

Objective:To identify the risk factors associated with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage I gastric cancer and establish nomograms model based on risk factors.Methods:In this retrospective case-control study, 161 cases with stage Ⅰ primary gastric adenocarcinoma were included who underwent gastrectomy at the Department of General Surgery of the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January to December in 2020, including 129 male cases and 32 females cases, with the average age of (59.90±0.80) years. Among them, 41 cases were treated with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (chemotherapy group), while 120 cases who did not receive postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (no chemotherapy group). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage Ⅰ gastric cancer patients and establish the nomograms predictive model. ROC curve and calibration curve were used to evaluate the performance of the model.Results:Multivariate analysis revealed that primary tumor site, tumor size, T stage, N stage lymph-vascular tumor embolus or perineural invasion were the independent risk factors of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for stage Ⅰ gastric cancer( P<0.05). The ROC curve indicated that area under the curve (AUC) of the multivariate model was 0.91(95% CI: 0.86-0.97). The calibration curve showed that probability predicted by nomograms was consistent with the actual situation(C-index: 0.91). Conclusions:The tumor located in the proximal stomach, tumor size>2 cm, T 2, N 1, lymph-vascular tumor embolus or perineural invasion maybe be the risk factors for chemotherapy decision in stage Ⅰ gastric cancer patients. The established model has good predictive ability for postoperative chemotherapy of stage Ⅰ gastric cancer patients, which might provide reference for the selection of clinical decisions in this part of patients.

Nowadays, the popularization of endoscopic technology makes a substantial increase in the diagnosis rate of esophageal multiple primary carcinoma. However, the multiple primary carcinoma combined with esophageal cancer, lung cancer and cardiac cancer is relatively rare. This paper reported a 64-year-old male with multiple primary cancer who received one-stage complex radical surgery, including radical resection of esophageal cancer, lung cancer and cardiac cancer. After the operation, the patient presented chylothorax and conservative treatment was ineffective. Then we preformed ligation of thoracic duct through single-portal thoracoscope. The patient recovered successfully after surgery and the follow-up results showed well.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of patients with initially resectable gastric cancer liver metastasis (GCLM) who were treated by different modalities, and analyze the influencing factors for prognosis of patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 327 patients with initially resectable GCLM who were included in the database of a nationwide multicenter retrospective cohort study on GCLM based on real-world data from January 2010 to December 2019 were collected. There were 267 males and 60 females, aged 61(54,68)years. According to the specific situations of patients, treatment modalities included radical surgery combined with systemic treatment, palliative surgery combined with systemic treatment, and systemic treatment alone. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients who were treated by different modalities; (2) prognostic outcomes of patients who were treated by different modalities; (3) analysis of influencing factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM; (4) screening of potential beneficiaries in patients who were treated by radical surgery plus systemic treatment and patients who were treated by palliative surgery plus systemic treatment. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX proportional hazard regression model. The propensity score matching was employed by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method with a caliper value of 0.1. The forest plots were utilized to evaluate potential benefits of diverse surgical combined with systemic treatments within the population. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients who were treated by different modalities. Of 327 patients, there were 118 cases undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment, 164 cases undergoing palliative surgery plus systemic treatment, and 45 cases undergoing systemic treatment alone. There were significant differences in smoking, drinking, site of primary gastric tumor, diameter of primary gastric tumor, site of liver metastasis, and metastatic interval among the three groups of patients ( P<0.05). (2) Prognostic outcomes of patients who were treated by different modalities. The median overall survival time of the 327 pati-ents was 19.9 months (95% confidence interval as 14.9-24.9 months), with 1-, 3-year overall survival rate of 61.3%, 32.7%, respectively. The 1-year overall survival rates of patients undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment, palliative surgery plus systemic treatment and systemic treatment alone were 68.3%, 63.1%, 30.6%, and the 3-year overall survival rates were 41.1%, 29.9%, 11.9%, showing a significant difference in overall survival rate among the three groups of patients ( χ2=19.46, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that there was a significant difference in overall survival rate between patients undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment and patients undergoing systemic treatment alone ( hazard ratio=0.40, 95% confidence interval as 0.26-0.61, P<0.05), between patients undergoing palliative surgery plus systemic treatment and patients under-going systemic treatment alone ( hazard ratio=0.47, 95% confidence interval as 0.32-0.71, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the larger primary gastric tumor, poorly differentiated tumor, larger liver metastasis, multiple hepatic metastases were independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM ( hazard ratio=1.20, 1.70, 1.20, 2.06, 95% confidence interval as 1.14-1.27, 1.25-2.31, 1.04-1.42, 1.45-2.92, P<0.05) and immunotherapy or targeted therapy, the treatment modality of radical or palliative surgery plus systemic therapy were independent protective factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM ( hazard ratio=0.60, 0.39, 0.46, 95% confidence interval as 0.42-0.87, 0.25-0.60, 0.30-0.70, P<0.05). (4) Screening of potentinal beneficiaries in patients who were treated by radical surgery plus systemic treatment and patients who were treated by palliative surgery plus systemic treatment. Results of forest plots analysis showed that for patients with high-moderate differentiated GCLM and patients with liver metastasis located in the left liver, the overall survival rate of patients undergoing radical surgery plus systemic treatment was better than patients undergoing palliative surgery plus systemic treatment ( hazard ratio=0.21, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 0.09-0.48, 0.23-0.78, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared to systemic therapy alone, both radical and palliative surgery plus systemic therapy can improve the pro-gnosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM. The larger primary gastric tumor, poorly differen-tiated tumor, larger liver metastasis, multiple hepatic metastases are independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with initial resectable GCLM and immunotherapy or targeted therapy, the treatment modality of radical or palliative surgery plus systemic therapy are independent protective factors for prognosis of patients with initially resectable GCLM.
