BACKGROUND:Some studies have demonstrated that red blood celllysate added into the bone marrow can increase the efficiency of isolating and purifying mesenchymal stem cells, in order to obtain high-purity and high-quantity bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
OBJECTIVE:To isolate and culture bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of rabbit with red blood celllysis in vitro for exploring proliferation characteristics and performing the biological identification of cells.
METHODS:Bone marrow suspension was col ected by puncturing the tibia with medul o-puncture needle. Red blood celllysis was added to the bone marrow suspension, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured. Numbers of primary cells were recorded at 4, 7, 10, and 13 days later And Growth curves of the cells at passages 2-5 were drawn for comparison of proliferative characteristics. Inverted phase contrast microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of cells. CD34, CD44 antigens of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were identified by flow cytometry and immunity fluorescence.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The adherent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells mainly showed s spindle shape, with homogeneous nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and rich cytoplasm, which were positive for CD44 antigen and negative for CD34 antigen. The primary cells exhibited an“S”shape. Passage 4 cells had a better proliferative ability, rapider growth and more counting of cells as compared with other generations. These findings indicate that red blood celllysis method is a feasible ways of culturing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells 0 in vitro, and passage 4 cells have the strongest proliferation capacity.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of preservation of left colic artery (LCA) on postoperative anastomotic leakage in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data of rectal cancer patients at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Fujian Cancer Hospital from September 2014 to August 2017. Inclusion criteria: (1) age of 18 to 79 years; (2) rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology; (3) patients without preoperative serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease receiving preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy; (4) laparoscopic-assisted anterior rectal resection and distal ileostomy were performed simultaneously; (5) complete clinical data. Exclusion criteria: patients with extensive abdominal metastasis, or distant organ metastasis during operation, and combined organ resection. According to whether LCA was retained during operation, the patients were divided into two groups, then the intraoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared. Moreover, univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze risk factors of postoperative anastomotic leakage.
Results:
A total of 125 patients were included in this study, including 56 patients in the retained LCA group and 69 patients in the non-retained LCA group. Differences in baseline data, such as gender, age, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, hemoglobin, distance between tumor and anal margin, maximum diameter of tumor, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, and ypTNM stage, between retained LCA group and non-retained LCA group were not statistically significant (all

OBJECTIVETo establish an evaluation model of peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer, and to assess its clinical significance.
METHODSClinical and pathologic data of the consecutive cases of gastric cancer admitted between April 2015 and December 2015 in Department of General Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 710 patients were enrolled in the study after 18 patients with other distant metastasis were excluded. The correlations between peritoneal metastasis and different factors were studied through univariate (Pearson's test or Fisher's exact test) and multivariate analyses (Binary Logistic regression). Independent predictable factors for peritoneal metastasis were combined to establish a risk evaluation model (nomogram). The nomogram was created with R software using the 'rms' package. In the nomogram, each factor had different scores, and every patient could have a total score by adding all the scores of each factor. A higher total score represented higher risk of peritoneal metastasis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the established nomogram. Delong. Delong. Clarke-Pearson test was used to compare the difference of the area under the curve (AUC). The cut-off value was determined by the AUC, when the ROC curve had the biggest AUC, the model had the best sensitivity and specificity.
RESULTSAmong 710 patients, 47 patients had peritoneal metastasis (6.6%), including 30 male (30/506, 5.9%) and 17 female (17/204, 8.3%); 31 were ≥ 60 years old (31/429, 7.2%); 38 had tumor ≥ 3 cm(38/461, 8.2%). Lauren classification indicated that 2 patients were intestinal type(2/245, 0.8%), 8 patients were mixed type(8/208, 3.8%), 11 patients were diffuse type(11/142, 7.7%), and others had no associated data. CA19-9 of 13 patients was ≥ 37 kU/L(13/61, 21.3%); CA125 of 11 patients was ≥ 35 kU/L(11/36, 30.6%); CA72-4 of 11 patients was ≥ 10 kU/L(11/39, 28.2%). Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of 26 patients was ≥ 2.37(26/231, 11.3%). Multivariate analysis showed that Lauren classification (HR=8.95, 95%CI:1.32-60.59, P=0.025), CA125(HR=17.45, 95%CI:5.54-54.89, P=0.001), CA72-4(HR=20.06, 95%CI:5.05-79.68, P=0.001), and NLR (HR=4.16, 95%CI:1.17-14.75, P=0.032) were independent risk factors of peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer. In the nomogram, the highest score was 241, including diffuse or mixed Lauren classification (54 score), CA125 ≥ 35 kU/L (66 score), CA72-4 ≥ 10 kU/L (100 score), and NLR ≥ 2.37 (21 score), which represented a highest risk of peritoneal metastasis (more than 90%). The AUC of nomogram was 0.912, which was superior than any single variable (AUC of Lauren classification: 0.678; AUC of CA125: 0.720; AUC of CA72-4: 0.792; AUC of NLR: 0.613, all P=0.000). The total score of nomogram increased according to the TNM stage, and was highest in the peritoneal metastasis group (F=49.1, P=0.000). When the cut-off value calculated by ROC analysis was set at 140, the model could best balanced the sensitivity (0.79) and the specificity (0.87). Only 5% of patients had peritoneal metastasis when their nomogram scores were lower than 140, while 58% of patients had peritoneal metastasis when their scores were ≥ 140(χ=69.1, P=0.000).
CONCLUSIONThe risk evaluation model established with Lauren classification, CA125, CA72-4 and NLR can effectively predict the risk of peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer, and provide the reference to preoperative staging and choice of therapeutic strategy.

Objective:To explore whether multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) combined with 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT can improve the detection efficiency of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 152 patients (age (68.5±8.5) years) who underwent mpMRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination for suspected prostate cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, with the histopathological results from transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy as reference. Lesions with Gleason scores (GS) ≥3+ 4 from the biopsy were diagnosed with csPCa, and lesions with negative biopsy or GS 6 were diagnosed with non-csPCa. MpMRI was evaluated independently by two radiologists according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. The radioactive uptake of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in prostate lesions was evaluated by SUV max. The independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare differences between the two groups, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. ROC curves analysis was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacies of individual and combined factors and Delong test was used. Results:There were 85 csPCa and 67 non-csPCa confirmed. Prostate specific antigen (PSA), PI-RADS score and SUV max were significantly different between the csPCa group and the non-csPCa group ( χ2=68.06, U values: -7.66, -8.98, all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that PI-RADS score (odds ratio ( OR)=3.424, 95% CI: 1.651-7.100) and SUV max ( OR=1.931, 95% CI: 1.403-2.658) were independent predictors of csPCa (both P<0.001). ROC curves analysis revealed that the cut-off value for diagnosing csPCa was 4 for PI-RADS score and 5.6 for SUV max. The accuracy of mpMRI and PET/CT alone in csPCa diagnosis was 80%(122/152) (AUC of 0.789(95% CI: 0.711-0.866) with the sensitivity and specificity of 91%(77/85) and 67%(45/67)), and 87%(132/152) (AUC of 0.876(95% CI: 0.817-0.936) with the sensitivity and specificity of 81%(69/85) and 94%(63/67)), respectively. Several joint models incorporating 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT with mpMRI data were investigated, the model of PI-RADS 5 or PI-RADS 3-4 and SUV max>5.6 showed better performance than mpMRI and PET/CT alone and other joint models ( z values: 2.01-3.64, all P<0.05), with the accuracy of 91%(138/152) (AUC of 0.910(95% CI: 0.857-0.962) with the sensitivity and specificity of 89%(76/85) and 93%(62/67)). Conclusion:MpMRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT can significantly improve the detection efficiency of csPCa, with the principal effect being improved in risk stratification of PI-RADS 3-4 lesions in mpMRI.

Objective:
To analyze the status of domestic surgical treatment of synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer in China.
Methods:
Clinicopathological data of patients who underwent surgery from October 2003 to October 2018 in 16 domestic medical centers was retrospectively analyzed. Excel database was created which covered 77 fields of 7 parts: baseline information of patients, laboratory tests, imaging tests, chemoradiotherapy information, intra-operative findings, postoperative pathology and follow-up data. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of the measurement data between groups. The χ2 test was used for comparison of the categorical data between groups. The survival curve was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results:
Of the 1 003 patients, there were 575 male and 428 female patients with the age of (58.5±14.1) years (range: 18 to 92 years). In a total of 920 patients, the carcinoma of sigmoid colon was performed in 292 cases (31.8%) with the highest ratio. The proportion of patients with liver metastasis and lung metastasis were 27.9% (219/784) and 8.3% (64/769). Preoperative detection of carcino-embryonic antigen level was the most common method in China (87.74%, 880/1 003), and the positive rate was 64.5% (568/880). The correct rate of preoperative imaging tests was 40.7% (280/688). The ratio of peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) scores between 0 and 10 was the highest (59.6%, 170/285). Two hundred and sixty-two (27.0%) patients were performed by totally laparoscopic operation in 971 patients. The resection of primary tumor was performed in 588 of the 817 patients (72.0%). In a total of 457 cases, 253 (55.4%) patients were performed cytoreduction which group scored completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) 0. The postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was implemented in 70 of the 334 cases (21.0%). Among 1 003 cases, 562 cases (56.03%) had complete follow-up data and the median overall survival was 15 months. The primary tumor resection and the CCR scores were affected by the PCI scores. The patients underwent primary tumor resection (187/205
