Objective To study the effect of age on the recurrence-free survival rate after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and the relationship between microvessel density (MVD)and recurrence of HCC in the elderly. Methods Severty one cases of elderly patients with HCC were analyzed retrospectively with 352 cases of non-elderly HCC patients as control,and the effect of age on the recurrence-free survival rate was studied.The expressions of CD34 and endocan in HCC tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry in 30 elderly and 30 non-elderly patients.Results The 1-,3- and 5-year recurrence free survival rates were 75.7%,43.0% and 43.0% in the elderly group respectively,which were higher than those in the non-elderly group(53.6%,38.5% and 33.4%,respectively,Log Rank value=10.25,P<0.05).The positive rate of alpha fetoprotein (AFP)in the elderly group was 47.9%,which was lower than that in the non-elderly group(62.2%)(X2=23.68,P<0.05).The median survival times in the high CD34-MVD group and high endocan MVD group were shorter than those in the low CD34-MVD group and low endocan-MVD group(260 d vs.850 d,360 d vs.800 d,Log Rank value was 22.18 and 20.56 respectively,both P<0.05).Conclusions The long-term prognosis of hepatic resection for HCC is better in elderly patients than in non-elderly patients.The recurrence of HCC in the elderly is closely related with angiogenesis.

Objective To study the clinical and pathological characteristics of early gastric cancer ( EGC) and to evaluate the value of blue laser imaging combined with magnification endoscopy ( BLI-ME) in the diagnosis of EGC. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on data of 255 patients with EGC diagnosed in Huashan Hospital from January 2014 to January 2017, including 33 cases of preoperative BLI-ME intensive examination. According to the Japanese classification of gastric carcinoma of Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, the EGCs were histopathologically divided into differentiated and undifferentiated subtypes. Clinical characteristics, endoscopic features, pathological type, lymph node metastasis, and lesion characteristics of BLI-ME were analyzed. Results Among the 255 cases of EGC, 164 cases ( 63. 31%) were male, 242 cases ( 94. 90%) were over 40 years old, 182 cases ( 71. 37%) belonged to differentiated type, 93 cases ( 36. 47%) were located in gastric antrum, 92 cases ( 36. 08%) were type 0-Ⅱc under endoscopy, and 37 cases (14. 51%) had lymph node metastasis. Comparative analysis showed that the lymph node metastasis rate was significantly lower in mucosal carcinoma compared to submucosal carcinoma[ 5. 04%(7/139) VS 25. 86% (30/116),χ2=22. 109, P=0. 000], lower in differentiated carcinoma compared to undifferentiated carcinoma[9. 89% (18/182) VS 26. 03% (19/73), χ2=10. 938, P=0. 002], and lower in tumors with maximum diameter of lesion≤2. 0 cm compared to maximum diameter of lesion>2. 0 cm [ 9. 88% ( 16/162 ) VS 22. 58% ( 21/93 ) , χ2 =7. 687, P=0. 009 ] . Among the 33 cases undergoing BLI-ME, differentiated EGC was mainly fine-network pattern (13. 64%, 3/22), intralobular loop pattern (ILL)-1 (59. 09%, 13/22) and ILL-2 (22. 73%, 5/22), whereas undifferentiated subtype patients were characterized as ILL-2 ( 45. 45%, 5/11 ) and corkscrew pattern ( 54. 55%, 6/11 ) . Conclusion The incidence of EGC is higher in male with age over 40 years. Gastric lesions occur most frequently in the antrum, and the most common microscopic morphology is 0-Ⅱc type. Tumor>2. 0 cm or invasion of submucous layer, and undifferentiated carcinoma are prone to lymph node metastasis. The assessment of mucosal microvascular pattern and micro surface structure under BLI-ME facilitate to determine the pathological type of EGC.

Objective To explore the improvements of high-fat intake on lung injury induced by Paragonimus proliferus infection in rats, and to preliminarily explore the mechanisms underlying the role of cytochrome P450 4A1 (CYP 4A1) in the improve ments. Methods SD rats were randomly assigned into three groups, including the normal control group (n = 10), the infection and normal diet group (n = 12) and the infection and high-fat diet group (n = 12). Rats in the normal control group were fed with normal diet and without any other treatments, and animals in the infection and normal diet group were subcutaneously injected with 8 excysted metacercariae of P. proliferus via the abdominal wall, followed by feeding with normal diet, while rats in the infection and high-fat diet group were subcutaneously injected with 8 excysted metacercariae of P. proliferus via the abdominal wall, followed by feeding with high-fat diet. All rats were sacrificed 28 weeks post-infection, and serum samples and lung specimens were collected. Following hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of rat lung specimens, the rat lung injury was observed under an optical microscope, and alveolitis was evaluated using semi-quantitative scoring. Serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the cytochrome P450 4A1 (CYP 4A1) expression was quantified in rat lung specimens at transcriptional and translational levels using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting assays. Results Alveolar wall thickening, edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were alleviated 28 weeks post-infection with P. proliferus in rats in the infection and high-fat diet group relative to the infection and normal diet group, and no alveolar consolidation was seen in the infection and high-fat diet group. The semi-quantitative score of alveolitis was significantly higher in the infection and normal diet group [(2.200 ± 0.289) points] than in the normal control group [(0.300 ± 0.083) points] and the infection and high-fat diet group [(1.300 ± 0.475) points] (both P values < 0.05), and higher serum IL-1β [(151.586 ± 20.492)] pg/mL and TNF-α levels [(180.207 ± 23.379) pg/mL] were detected in the infection and normal diet group than in the normal control group [IL-1β: (103.226 ± 3.366) pg/mL; TNF-α: (144.807 ± 1.348) pg/mL] and the infection and high-fat diet group [IL-1β: (110.131 ± 12.946) pg/mL; TNF-α: (131.764 ± 27.831) pg/mL] (all P values < 0.05). In addition, lower CYP 4A1 mRNA (3.00 ± 0.81) and protein expression (0.40 ± 0.02) was quantified in lung specimens in the infection and normal diet group than in the normal control group [(5.03 ± 2.05) and (0.84 ± 0.14)] and the infection and high-fat diet group [(11.19 ± 3.51) and (0.68 ± 0.18)] (all P values < 0.05). Conclusion High-fat intake may alleviate lung injuries caused by P. proliferus infection in rats through up-regulating CYP 4A1 expression in lung tissues at both translational and transcriptional levels.
