Objective To compare the curative effect of laparoscopic and laparotomic operation for elderly Chinese women with cervical cancer. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCT) and case controlled trials (CCT) were collected by searches of WanFang database, CNKI, VIP, China Biology Medicine (CBM) , PubMed. Data were extracted from these trials and data analysis was performed by RevMan 5.2.9. Results There were no RCTs, however, a total of 10 CCTs met the inclusion criteria and had data extracted for this review. The baseline characteristics of the laparoscopic group were similar to those of the laparotomic group. Comparing to laparotomic group, the laparoscopic group have longer operation time (MD =32.60, 95%CI: 5.65~59.55, P = 0.020), less amount of bleeding (MD = -94.01, 95%CI: -130.65 ~ -57.37, P = 0.000), smaller number of lymph node dissection(MD = 1.69, 95%CI: 0.67 ~ 2.72, P = 0.001), earlier anus exhaustion (MD=-17.09, 95%CI: -21.19 ~ -12.98, P = 0.000) and shorter hospital stays (MD = -4.30, 95%CI: -5.57 ~ -3.02, P = 0.000). There was significant difference between the two groups. But there was no statistical significance in postoperative indwelling catheter time (MD = -0.67, 95%CI: -1.92 ~ 0.58, P = 0.290) and surgical complications incidence (OR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.27 ~ 1.42, P = 0.260) between the two groups. Conclusion Laparoscopic management has the advantages of less traumatic and recovered quickly, and did not increase the incidence of complications. Laparoscopic operation is an ideal procedure for elderly Chinese women with cervical carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the value of intra-cavitary contrast enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in the location of drainage tubes which were unclear in conventional ultrasonography. Methods The locations of 32 drainage tubes in 26 patients were unclear in conventional ultrasonography. The diluted ultrasound contrast agent (SonoVue) was injected through the tubes. CEUS was used to evaluate the visualizations of the inner tubular portions and the distal ends. Whether the drainage tubes were in situ or not was also judged. The time-consumption of detection was counted. Results The percentages of the visualization of inner tubular portions and the distal ends in conventional ultrasonography were 52.25%(18/32) and 0,respectively. However,the percentages of visualization in CEUS were 100% and 93.75%(30/32), respectively. The difference were significant when compared conventional ultrasonography with CEUS ( P<0.001 ). CEUS detected that three drainage tubes weren't in situ. And the median of timeconsumption of CEUS was just 4. 5 seconds (range: 1-77 seconds). Conclusions Intra-cavitary CEUS is a sensitive and high efficient technique in the visualization of drainage tube which may complement the insufficiency of conventional ultrasonography. It could be used as the first choice in the location of drainage tube.

Objective To investigate the influence of anti-angiogenesis therapy on proliferation and apoptosis of fibroblasts derived from keloids. Methods Thirty pieces of keloids from a patient were implanted into subcutaneous tissue of the nude mice, 24 pieces of which survived were divided into three groups which were treated with perilesional injection of vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) (0.4 mg/0.2 mL) , Endostar(0.125 g/0.2 mL) and physiological saline (0.2 mL)on the 21 d, 23 d, 25 d, 27 d after implantation. Sample were collected on the 10th day after perilesional injection, the proliferating fibroblasts in keloid tissue were immunohistochemically detected by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression. The apoptotic cell was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP-nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Results IHC staining indicated that PCNA expression of fibroblasts was significantly increased in keloid tissue after VEGF injection, PCNA expression of fibroblasts was significantly reduced in keloid tissue after Endostar injection,TUNEL assay revealed lower apoptotic cells expression in the keloid tissue after VEGF injection and higher in the Endostar group than control group. The rate of proliferative index (PI) , apoptotic index(AI) and AI/PI of fibroblasts in keloid after VEGF (PI:41.13 ±2.29,AI:5.75 ±1.28,AI/PI: 0.14 ± 0.04)or Endostar injection (PI:27.25 ±2.61,AI:11.00±1.31,AI/PI:0.41 ±0.09)and control group (PI: 34.75 ±3.62,AI:7. 88 ± 1.64,AI/PI:0. 23 ±0.07) showed statistical differences. Conclusion Anti-angiogenesis therapy is shown to induce keloid regression through suppression of keloid fibroblast proliferation,induction of apoptosis, which may be a new approach for the treatment of keloids.

Objective:To discuss whether platelet distribution width (PDW) can effectively predict the prognosis of neuroblastoma (NB).Methods:The clinical data of 67 NB patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2014 and January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into low PDW group and high PDW group according to the PDW level, and the differences in clinical indicators between the 2 groups were compared.The prognostic effects of PDW were assessed by using the Kaplan- Meier method and Cox regression model. Results:Among the 67 patients, 41 cases were male, 26 cases were female, with the ratio of male to female being 1.58∶1.00, and the average age was 44 months (2-156 months). Five cases were in stage Ⅰ, 1 case in stage Ⅱ, 15 cases in stage Ⅲ and 46 cases in stage Ⅳ.At the first time of diagnosis, there were 14 cases with age ≤ 18 months, 53 cases with age > 18 months, 47 cases with neuron specific enolase (NSE) level ≥ 100 μg/L, 20 cases with NSE level<100 μg/L.The median follow-up time was 20.4 months.At the end of follow-up, 35 cases died and 32 cases survived.There was no statistical difference in age, gender, primary site of tumor, tumor stage and mean platelet volume between the low PDW group and the high PDW group (all P>0.05). The proportion of high-risk patients, the level of NSE, bone marrow metastasis rate, MYCN gene amplification rate and the red blood cell distribution width in the high PDW group were significantly higher than those in the low PDW group, but the high PDW group had a lower level of thrombocytocrit than the low PDW group, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). Survival analysis revealed that the 2-year overall survival of the low PDW group was significantly higher than that of the high PDW group (69.8% vs.25.3%, χ2=15.761, P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that NSE ( HR=6.606, 95% CI: 2.018-21.620), MYCN gene ( HR=1.977, 95% CI: 0.794-4.919), tumor risk stratification ( HR=5.926, 95% CI: 1.416-24.794), PDW ( HR=4.036, 95% CI: 1.957-8.322), and red blood cell distribution width ( HR=1.120, 95% CI: 1.005-1.249) were the adverse factors affecting the overall survival, and thrombocytocrit was a protective factor for the prognosis of NB.Multivariate analysis indicated that PDW was an independent risk factor of NB ( HR=2.524, 95% CI: 1.017-6.264, P=0.046). Conclusions:There is a good consistency between the increase of PDW and the known prognostic risk factors, elevated tumor markers and bone marrow metastasis.Increased PDW is associated with poor prognosis in NB patients, and PDW is an independent risk factor for the poor prognosis of NB.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and long-term prognosis of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with renal involvement as the initial manifestation, thus enhancing the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy.Methods:Twenty-four cases of pediatric ALL with renal involvement as the initial manifestation treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2013 to March 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, and their clinical characteristics were analyzed.According to renal imaging examination findings, they were divided into abnormal group and normal group.The differences in clinical features between the two groups were compared, and the cumulative survival rate was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Among 1 030 newly treated cases of pediatric ALL, 24 cases(2.33%) had renal involvement as the initial manifestation, involving 20 males and 4 females, with a male/female ratio of 5∶1 and the median age of 4.3 years (1.3-14.0 years). There were 16 cases of superficial lymph node enlargement and 21 cases of hepatosplenomegaly.Immature cells in peripheral blood were found in 15 cases.Nine cases were examined with abnormal renal imaging, involving 8 cases returned normal after chemotherapy, and 1 died of renal failure.At the end of follow-up on August 1, 2020, there were 9 cases of bone marrow relapse, 11 survival cases, 10 death cases and 3 cases of loss to follow-up.There were no significant differences in the sex, age, immunophenotype, organ infiltration and urinary protein between the two groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of high creatinine level and intramedullary recurrence rate in the abnormal group were significantly higher than those in the normal group [55.6%(5/9 cases) vs.0(0/15 cases), P=0.003; 66.7%(6/9 cases) vs.20.0%(3/15 cases), P=0.036]. The survival analysis indicated that the 3-year cumulative survival in the abnormal group was significantly lower than that of normal group (17.3% vs.72.7%, χ2=4.047, P< 0.05). Conclusions:For children with unexplained renal involvement as the initial manifestation, clinicians should consider the possibility of leukemic renal infiltration or nephrogenic lymphoma.Physical examinations of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes, morphological analysis of peripheral blood cells, bone marrow examination and renal biopsy are important to make a definite diagnosis in time.Children with imaging abnormalities caused by leukemic renal infiltration are more likely to relapse and have a lower survival rate, which may be a poor prognostic factor for ALL.

The clinical data of one child with metanephric stromal tumor (MST) and BRAF V600E gene mutation admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2022 was analyzed retrospectively.Literature was reviewed.The patient, a 2-year-old girl, was diagnosed with a tumor in the left abdomen.The maximum diameter of the tumor was 10.5 cm.A radical nephrectomy was performed on the left kidney, and postoperative pathology revealed MST.Microscopically, the tumor had no envelope and exhibited expansive growth.The tumor cells were fusiform or stellate, and nuclear division was visible in the cell-rich region.Dysplastic blood vessels were seen inside the tumor.The tumor cells around the blood vessels and invaginated renal tubules were arranged like onion skin.CD34 was detected positive by immunohistochemical staining, and BRAF V600E mutation was also detected positive by fluorescent polymerase chain reaction.A total of 21 relevant case reports were retrieved, including 16 in English and 5 in Chinese.Fifty-eight MST patients, including the one in this report were analyzed.These patients were aged 2 days to 15 years, with a median age of 2 years.Except for 2 patients with unknown sex, the ratio of male to female was about 1.4∶1.0.Most MST patients were asymptomatic, with an average tumor size of 5.3 cm.The tumor cell CD34 showed positive expression in different degrees.Eight patients received the BRAF V600E mutation detection, and the results were all positive.Fifty-eight patients underwent nephrectomy and were followed up for 0-156 months, of which 7 patients were assisted with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.During the follow-up, 1 patient died, and 1 patient had a relapse.MST is a rare benign renal stromal tumor. BRAF V600E mutations are detected in a variety of malignancies.This paper is the first to report MST with BRAF V600E mutation in China and points out the importance of molecular detection of BRAF mutation for accurate diagnosis of MST.
