Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment quality of juxtaglomerular cell tumor of the kidney. Methods Three patients(2 females, 1 male) were diagnosed with juxtaglomerular cell tumor of kidney and underwent nephron-sparing surgery. Case 1 was female, 15 years old. She presented with hypertention of 245/135 mm Hg. The serum kalium was 2.5--3.0 mmol/L. Thelaboratory examination suggested that in decubitus and standing position, the plasma renin activity (PRA) was 2.2 and 3.5 μg · L-1 · h-1 , angiotensin Ⅱ (ATⅡ) was 181.2 and 481.4 ng/L; aldosterone(ALD) was 332.4 and 747.9 pmol/L, respectively. Dynamic enhanced CT scanning demonstrated a tumor with the diameter of 1.3 cm in right kidney. Case 2 was male, 39 years old. He presented with hypertention of 180/120 mm Hg. The serum kalium was 2. 7--3.0 mmol/L. In decubitus and standing position, PRAwas8.1 and 9.2 μg·L-1 · h-1, ATⅡ was 198.3 and 279.1 ng/L, ALD was 285.3 and 761.7 pmol/L, respectively. Dynamic enhanced CT scanning showed a tumor with the diameter of 1.2 cm in right kidney. Case 3 was female, 26 years old. She presented with hypertention of 210/120 mm Hg. The serum kalium was 4. 1 mmol/L. In decubitus and standing position, PRA was 0.1 and 0.3 μg · L-1·h-1 , ATⅡ 56.2 and 71.5 ng/L, ALD 321.3 and 421.1 pmol/L, respec tively. On dynamic enhanced CT scanning, a tumor with a diameter of 3.0era was located in left kidney. Results Partial nephrectomy was successfully performed in 3 patients, including 1 (case 2) retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Pathologic examination revealed encapsulated tumors in all cases. Light microscopically, the tumor consisted of clusters of polygonal cells, and the cell had centrally located nuclei and slightly eosinophilic cytoplasm. Thick walled vessels were usually present. The tumors showed positive immunostaining for actin and CD34. Three patients were followed up for 23,4, 26 months respectively and all remained normotensive without any treatment. No recurrence or metastasis occurred. Conclusions Hypertention, increased PRA, secondary aldosteronism, hypokalemia are characteristics for juxtaglomerular cell tumor of the kidney. Dynamic enhanced CT scanning has high sensitivity. Partial nephrectomy or enucleation of tumor are both effective surgical treatment. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective as well.

Objective To analyze the correlation between miR-31 and ESCC in expression of miR-31 in the plasma of ESCC in Xinjiang Kazak and Han nationality patients. Methods The plasma samples were collected respectively from patients with ESCC in 20 cases and healthy subjects in 20 cases. The relatively expression of miR-31 was detected by real-time Q-PCR. Results The expression of miR-31 with ESCC were higher than those of the normal control group, which related to the degree of tumor differentiation in Kazak ESCC patients (P < 0.01); the levels of miR-31 relative expression in Kazak were higher than that of Han (P = 0.008, P = 0.027). Conclusion miR-31 may be involved in the occurrence of ESCC in Han and Kazak nationality. miR-31 might be another risk factor in high incidence of ESCC in Kazak than Han nationality.

Objective To observe the effects of long-chain non-coding RNA XLOC009038 on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma EC 109 and EC9706 cells and explore its mechanism. Methods XLOC009038 interfering plasmid was constructed and transfected into EC 109 and EC9706 cells to down-regulate the expression of XLOC009038 gene. MTT colorimetry and clonogenic assay were used to observe the changes of cell proliferation and cloning ability before and after gene down-regulation.Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. Transwell was used to measure the changes of cell migration and invasion ability before and after transfection. Western blot was used to detect the expression of procaspase 3 protein in cells before and after transfection. Results The expression of XLOC009038 gene in the two cells was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.001). After down-regulation of XLOC009038 gene expression, the cloning and proliferation ability of EC 109 and EC9706 cells decreased significantly (P< 0.05). Compared with the control group, the migration and invasion ability of EC 109 and EC9706 cells decreased significantly (P < 0.001).Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of EC 109 and EC9706 cells increased after down-regulation of XLOC009038 (P <0.001). The expression of procaspase 3 increased in the experimental group after interfering with XLOC009038 (P = 0.013; P < 0.001). Conclusions Over-expression of XLOC009038 might be closely related to occurrence and development of the esophageal cancer. Over-expression of XLOC009038 can enhance the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of esophageal cancer cells in vitro through the procaspase3 pathway.

Purpose: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system, and its 5-year survival rate is only 4%. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most common post-transcriptional modification and dynamically regulates cancer development, while its role in PC treatment remains unclear. Materials and Methods: We treated PC cells with gemcitabine and quantified the overall m6A level with m6A methylation quantification. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were used to detect expression changes of m6A regulators. We verified the m6A modification on the target genes through m6A-immunoprecipitation (IP), and further in vivo experiments and immunofluorescence (IF) assays were applied to verify regulation of gemcitabine on Wilms’ tumor 1–associated protein (WTAP) and MYC. Results: Gemcitabine inhibited the proliferation and migration of PC cells and reduced the overall level of m6A modification. Additionally, the expression of the “writer” WTAP was significantly downregulated after gemcitabine treatment. We knocked down WTAP in cells and found target gene MYC expression was significantly downregulated, m6A-IP also confirmed the m6A modification on MYC. Our experiments showed that m6A-MYC may be recognized by the “reader” IGF2BP1. In vivo experiments revealed gemcitabine inhibited the tumorigenic ability of PC cells. IF analysis also showed that gemcitabine inhibited the expression of WTAP and MYC, which displayed a significant trend of co-expression. Conclusion Our study confirmed that gemcitabine interferes with WTAP protein expression in PC, reduces m6A modification on MYC and RNA stability, thereby inhibiting the downstream pathway of MYC, and inhibits the progression of PC.

Objective To explore the difference of gut microbiota between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-diabetic population in Beijing. Methods 83 T2DM patients were selected as T2DM group and 64 non-diabetic subjects were selected as control group. Fecal samples were collected from all the subjects. The intestinal flora was detected by metagenome sequencing technology. Results 11 bacterialphyla were detec-ted in the two groups, there were significant differences in species diversity of Actinobacteria (P=0. 013), Firmicutes (P=0. 005), Fusobacteria (P=0. 001), Proteobacteria (P<0. 001) between the two groups. Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Proteobacteria were all enriched in the T2DM group, Firmicutes were enriched in the control group. 152 bacterial genera were detected in the two groups with 31 bacterial genera ofsignificant differences. In T2DM group, the levels of Roseburia, Eubacterium and Faecalibacterium decreased, while the levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Escherichia increased. Conclusion There are significant differ-ences in the composition of gut microbiota between T2DM patients and non-diabetic population. Regulation of gut microbiota in T2DM patients may be helpful to improve the condition of T2DM.

Objective:To study factors associated with postoperative acute pancreatitis (POAP) in patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:This retrospective analysis included 60 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from Jan 2020 to Aug 2021. Enhanced computed tomography was used to identify POAP during postoperative period of 4 to 9 days. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to find out the risk factors of POAP.Results:Of the 60 patients, 13 cases (21.7%) developed POAP. The incidence of clinically related pancreatic fistula with abdominal abscess (76.9% vs.19.1%, χ2=15.71, P<0.000 1), postoperative hospital stay (26 d vs. 18 d, U=141.5, P=0.002 5) and the severity of complications (Clavien-Dindo grade≥Ⅲ: 53.8% vs. 21.3%, χ2=5.32, P=0.02) were significantly higher in the POAP group. But there was no significant deviation between the two groups when it comes to the severe post pancreatectomy delayed hemorrhage (7.7% vs. 0, χ2=3.68, P=0.06) and the delayed gastric emptying (30.8% vs. 21.3%, χ2=0.51, P=0.47). In the univariate analysis, patients with higher body mass index ( P=0.000 3), smaller main pancreatic duct diameter ( P<0.000 1) and softer texture of the pancreas ( P=0.009) were more likely to develop POAP after pancreaticoduodenectomy. In the multivariate analysis, the pancreatic duct diameter≤2 mm ( OR=0.005,95% CI 0.000 06-0.44, P=0.020), the softer texture of pancreas ( OR=0.005, 95% CI 0.000 04-0.47, P=0.023) were risk factors for POAP. Conclusions:Patients with postoperative acute pancreatitis increased the incidence of pancreatic fistula complicating abdominal abscess.Small caliber pancreatic tube, soft texture of pancreas were risk factors of POAP.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of whole-brain low-dose radiotherapy(LDRT)combined with PD-1 inhibitor sin-tilimab and intrathecal pemetrexed(IP)for the treatment of refractory non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with leptomeningeal metastases(LM).Methods:Retrospective analysies were was performed on eight NSCLC patients with LM at the West China Hospital of Sichuan Uni-versity from December 2022 to May 2024.Among the eight patients,there were four were males and four were females,with a median age of 49 years(rangeing,between 34 to 58 years).All patients were treated with whole-brain LDRT combined with immune checkpoint inhibit-or(ICI)and intrathecal chemotherapy regimens,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology(RANO)criteria and the Karnofsky physical status(KPS)score.Adverse reactions were assessed according to the Common Criteria for the Evaluation of Adverse Events(CTCAE version 5.0).Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.The classification proportion of cerebrospinal fluid subsets before and after treatment was analyzed using by single-cell sequencing,and the differential ana-lysis of gene expression in parallel cells was performed.Results:The best clinical treatment effects in eight patients were were evaluated us-ing the RANO criteria:five patients(62.5%)were evaluated as improved and three(37.5%)as stable.The median KPS score of the eight pa-tients was 30(20-50)before treatment,which was significantly improved to 60(40-90)after treatment(P=0.000 9).The remission rate of neurological symptoms was 100%(8/8)in eight patients.The median neurological progression-free survival(NPFS)was 12 months.The res-ults of single-cell sequencing in CSF of patientss(P1)showed that the proportion of T cells in the patient samples after whole-brain LDRT treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(6.08%vs.68.87%),and the proportion of tumor cells was significantly lower(12.92%vs.0.6%).The differential analysis of gene expression showed that CCL5 and CXCL13 were significantly upregulated in T cells of CSF after WB-LDRT treatment.Conclusions:The combination of whole-brain LDRT with ICI and IP in the treatment of NSCLC with LM can signific-antly alleviate neurological symptoms,improve quality of life and prolong the NPFS of patients,which is a safe and effective treatment.
