Objective To investigate the high-risk factors of retroperitoneal lymph nodes metastasis (LNM) and the effect of lymph nodes metastasis on prognosis in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).Methods Retrospec-tive research was carried out from January 2005 to December 2010 to identify 289 endometrial carcinoma patients treated with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.The high-risk factors of retroperitoneal LNM and prognostic factors of this disease were studied.Results 1) The median age at diagnosis was 55 years old.Patients of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 224 (77.5%), 13 (4.5%), 45 (15.6%) and 7 (2.4%), respectively.Two hundred and eighty-nine patients received pelvic lymphadenectomy, of that 30 (10.4%) patients were found the pelvic LNM.Ninety-six patients received periaortic lymphadenectomy, of that 11 (11.5%) patients were found the periaortic LNM.Twenty-one (7.3%) patients developed recurrent disease and 11 (3.8 %) dead.The median follow-up was 37 months and the median disease-free survival (DFS) was 34 months.2) In univariate analysis, the incidence of LNM significantly increased in patients with CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL preoperatively, non-endometrioid adenocarcinoma, low grade, deep myometrium invasion, diameter of tumor ≥ 2 cm, cervical stroma involvement, positive peritoneal cytology and vagina or parametrial involvement (P<0.05).In multivariate analysis, CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL preoperatively, low grade, deep myometrium invasion were the independent high-risk factors of LNM (P<0.05).3)The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant difference between positive peritoneal cytology, vagina or parametrial involvement, appendix involvement, LNM and DFS (P<0.05).We also found a significant difference in the impact of non-endometrioid adenocarcinoma, low grade, deep myometrium invasion, positive peritoneal cytology, appendix involvement and LNM on overall survival (OS) (P<0.05).Cox regression analysis revealed retroperitoneal LNM is the independent prognostic factor of 5-year DFS (patients without LNM 92.1% vs patients with LNM 65.3%, P=0.002, 95% CI 0.078-0.552).We also found the trend that the 5-year OS was higher in patients without LNM than them with LNM, even though there was no significant difference(patients without LNM 96.1% vs patients with LNM 70.0%, P=0.086, 95% CI 0.039-1.238).Conclusions 1) there is a predictive value of low grade and deep myometrium invasion for EC patients with LNM.2)Patients with LNM have poorer prognosis than them without LNM.Therefore, patients with LNM should receive adjuvant therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of macrophages (MCs) on the differentiation of mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs). MethodsA total of 24 C57BL/6N mice were used to obtain MCs by peritoneal irrigation, and the supernatant was collected to obtain the conditioned medium of MCs (MC-CDM). Activin A, bone morphogenetic protein 4, and fibroblast growth factor were used to induce the differentiation of mouse iPSCs into HPCs. The differentiation of HPCs were randomly divided into control group (normal medium) and experimental group (MC group; use of MC-CDM medium on day 5 of induction). Morphology, immunofluorescence assay, and Western blot were used to compare the morphology of HPCs and the expression of related proteins between the control group and the MC group. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsHPCs derived from iPSCs were established in vitro, and HPCs had the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes. Immunofluorescence assay showed that compared with the D12 control group, the D12 MC group had a significant increase in the protein expression of the HPC-specific protein CK19 (0.901±0.072 vs 0.686±0.097, t=-3.093, P<0.05). Western blot showed that compared with the D12 control group, the D12 MC group had a significant increase in the protein expression of the HPC-related protein CK19 (1.922±0.103 vs 1.448±0.012, t =-7.881, P <005), as well as a significant increase in the protein expression of the autophagy-related protein LC3 (1.392±0.042 vs 1.101±0048, t =-5.978, P<005). ConclusionMCs can promote the differentiation of mouse iPSCs into HPCs, possibly by increasing the autophagy level of HPCs.

Background and Purpose:Primary Ewing sarcoma of the thoracic wall(PEST)is a rare extraosseous Ewing sarcoma that occurs in the chest wall or thoracic cavity with a short survival,poor prognosis and a high rate of recurrence.Early diagnosis and treatment are the best way to prolong survival time since the cause of PEST is not clear.This study aimed to explore the clinicopathologic characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of PEST to improve clinical understanding of this disease.Methods:A total of 21 cases with PEST were treated at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,and reviews were published from 2018 to 2023.Clinical data,pathological features,treatment and follow-up of the patients were analyzed respectively.The survival was from the start of treatment to the death of the patient or the end of the follow-up.Cumulative survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results:A total of 21 cases with PEST(male/female ratio,13∶8;sites of left/right chest ratio,6∶15;median age,20 years;mean age,28 years;median diameter of the tumor,8.0 cm;mean diameter of the tumor,18.1 cm)met the inclusion criteria.65.2%of the patients presented with the pain in the ipsilateral thoracic and abdominal area.In 47.1%of cases,the ipsilateral ribs were invaded with pleural effusion.Pathological morphology microscopy showed most tumor cells were tightly packed or lobular distribution of small blue round cells.In immunohistochemistry,CD99 and vimentin were positive in 100%and 80%cases respectively while neurogenic markers were expressed to varying degrees.EWSR1 separated signal was found by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH),and the EWSR1-FLI1 fusion was detected by next-generation sequencing(NGS)in two cases at our hospital.Two cases received neoadjuvant chemotherapy,10 patients received chemotherapy and radiotherapy after operation,5 cases were treated with radiotherapy only,1 case received surgery only,and 3 cases had no surgical data.A total of 14 cases were followed up for 3-38 month while 7 cases were lost to visit.Cumulative survival correlates with age at disease.The mean survival time was 19.98 months,and the median survival time was 13.00 months.Conclusion:Young males,right chest and the mass larger than 8 cm are more often found.Most cases can be initially diagnosed using histopathology and immunohistochemical markers.FISH or NGS of the EWSR1 gene test are a highly accurate method for diagnosis.The prognosis of PEST is extremely poor,and the cumulative survival rate is negatively correlated with the age of onset.Surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main treatments for this disease.
