Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of gastric stromal tumors.Methods A total of 105 cases with gastric stromal tumors were included in the study.The expression of cluster of differentiation 117 (CD117),cluster of differ entiation 34 (CD34),smooth muscle actin (SMA),S-100 protein and Ki-67 in gastric stromal tumors specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry.The clinico-pathologic features of gastric stromal tumors were also analyzed.Results Of 105 gastric stromal tumors specimens,90 were positive for CD117 [85.7 ％ (90/105)],98 positive for CD34 [93.3 ％ (98/105)],21 positive for SMA [20.4 ％ (21/105)],60 positive for Ki-67 [56.1％ (60/105)],13 positive for S-100 [12.4 ％ (13/105)].Conclusion Combined detection of CD117 and CD34 can improve the diagnostic accuracy of gastric stromal tumors.The expression of Ki-67 can be used as a prognostic parameter for gastric stromal tumors as it is correlated with tumor size,risk and mitotic.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics,effects of adjuvant therapy and influential factors of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).MethodsA retrospective and multiple factor Cox model analysis on 216 cases of primary GIST diagnosed by surgery and pathology was conducted.Results The total survival rates of patients at one to five years were 94.4 ％ (204/216),90.2 ％ (129/143),88.3 ％(68/77),87.5 ％ (35/40) and 85.0 ％ (17/20),respectively.The statistically significant prognostic factors for survival rates of patients with GIST included age,location of tumor,local or total tumor resection,rupture of tumor,adjuvant treatment,recurrence,mitotic rate,and tumor size (P ＜ 0.05).Due to those influence factors,the greater of the values,the higher of the risk of death.Among those factors,whether having grass total resection played a decisive role in the prognosis of patients with GIST.Other factors,such as sex,CD117,biopsies,endoscopic mucosal erosion,and operation cutting margin had no significant relevance with the survival rate of patients (P ＞0.05).Postoperative adjuvant therapy could significantly improve the survival rate of patients with GIST,especially for patients with high risk.ConclusionSurgical treatment should be given priority to treatment of GIST,and the choice of the surgery strategies depends mainly on the location and size of tumors.The complete resection or extensive resection could improve survival rates.Age,location,total tumor resection,rupture of tumor,adjuvant treatment,recurrence,mitotic rate,and tumor size are important factors affecting prognosis and survival rate of patients with GIST,which could guide standardized clinical treatment.

Objective To analyze the clinical characters,therapeutic effect of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST),the effects of surgical approach and imatinib adjuvant therapy on it.Methods From January 2004 to April 2010,the clinical data of 214 patients with primary GIST were retrospectively analyzed.The effects of surgical approach and imatinib on the survival of the GIST patients were compared.Count data were analyzed by chi-square test,and the survival rates were analyzed with the life table method and Kaplan-Meier curve.Results A total of 214 GIST patients'survival rates of 1-year,3-year,5-year were 93.0％,87.0％ and 80.0％.According to the risk classification of National Institutes of Health,the differences of overall survival rates after surgery were statistically significant (x2 =22.058,P＜0.05).The differences of survival rate among different nuclear division number were statistically significant (x2=26.599,P＜0.05).The survival rate of pathological nuclear division number over 10/50 high power field (HPF) was the lowest.The overall survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal GIST was higher than patients with extragastrointestinal GIST,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =68.139,P ＜ 0.05).After complete resection of the tumor,the survival rate of patients with local recurrence was higher than those with widely recurrence,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.409,P＜ 0.05).After complete resection of the tumor,the survival rate of patients taking imatinib was higher than that of patients not taking imatinib.Conclusions The surgical treatment was the main therapy for GIST.Complete resection of the tumor and taking imatinib after surgery could improve the prognosis and the survival rate of the GIST patients.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and predictive ability of the sentinel node localization technique for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and determine whether the pathology of the SLN reflected the status of all the neck lymph nudes. Methods Perioperative use of a gamma probe identified radioactive SLNs. The pathology of the SLN was compared with that of the remaining neck dissection. Results Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed on 20 cases. SLNs were found in 16 necks, among them 6 were found to be subclinical metastases. The SLN was the only lymph node containing tumor in 5 of 6. Conclusions Our preliminary investigation shows that sentinel node localization is technically feasible and predictive of cervical metastasis. SLN biopsy may aid in identifying the clinically N0 patient with occult lymph node metastasis and has the potential to decrease the number of neck dissections performed in clinically negative necks.

Objective To explore the surgical indication, the operative procedure and effect of breast-conserving surgery plus combined treatment for the patients with early breast cancer. Methods 51 patients with early breast cancer were treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plus radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonotherapy postoperatively. The result of breast-conserving group was compared with 56 patients treated by modified radical mastectomy (control group). Results 25 patients underwent quadrant resection plus axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), 15 patients were subjected to local resection plus ALND, and 11 patients received quadrant resection only. All patients were followed-up for an average of 16.9 months. In BCS group, one patient was found to have local recurrence, and the distant metastasis rate was 0%. In the control group, no patient had local recurrence and the distant metastasis rate was 3.6%. The operative complication rate in BCS group and control group was 13.7% and 33.9% respectively (p﹤0.05). Conclusion Breast-conserving surgery plus combined treatment is safe and satisfactory for early breast cancer. It can be considered as the first choice for the treatment of patients with breast cancer in early stage.

Objective:To explore the effects of necroptosis specific inhibitor-1 (Nec-1) on brain injury in rats after cardiac arrest and its mechanism.Methods:A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into Sham group, model group and Nec-1 group ( n = 8 per group) according to random number table method. In the Sham group, only general surgical procedures were underdone without inducing cardiac arrest. In the model group, the rats were subjected to asphyxial cardiac arrest followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at 6 minutes after cardiac arrest. In the Nec-1 group, Nec-1 of 1 mg/kg was administered after cardiac arrest, and CPR was performed at 6 minutes after cardiac arrest. At 72 hours after CPR, neurological deficit scores (NDS) were assessed, serum S100B levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) expression in cerebral cortex and hippocampus was observed under immunofluorescence and positive rate was calculated, and the levels of RIP3 protein expression in brain were analyzed by Western blotting. Results:At 72 hours after CPR, the rats in the model group showed obvious necroptosis and injury in brain. Compared with the Sham group, the NDS scores in the model group were significantly decreased [57.0 (52.7, 60.0) vs. 80.0 (80.0, 80.0), P < 0.05], the serum S100B was significantly increased (ng/L: 44.9±4.5 vs. 18.6±1.5, P < 0.05), the percentages of RIP3 positive cells in cerebral cortex and hippocampus were significantly elevated [cerebral cortex: (31.7±4.8)% vs. (11.6±3.2)%, hippocampus: (28.4±0.8)% vs. (10.9±0.6)%, both P < 0.05], and the levels of RIP3 protein expression in brain were significantly increased [RIP3 protein (RIP3/GAPDH): 0.708 (0.642, 0.722) vs. 0.408 (0.253, 0.504), P < 0.05]. After Nec-1 intervention, necroptosis and injury in brain were obviously improved. Compared with the model group, the NDS scores at 72 hours after CPR in the Nec-1 group were significantly increased [70.5 (68.5, 71.7) vs. 57.0 (52.7, 60.0), P < 0.05), the serum S100B was significantly decreased (ng/L: 31.9±2.7 vs. 44.9±4.5, P < 0.05), the percentages of RIP3 positive cells in cerebral cortex and hippocampus were significantly lowered [cerebral cortex: (23.7±4.1)% vs. (31.7±4.8)%, hippocampus: (20.4±0.4)% vs. (28.4±0.8)%, both P < 0.05], and the levels of RIP3 protein expression in brain were significantly declined [RIP3 protein (RIP3/GAPDH): 0.437 (0.379, 0.507) vs. 0.708 (0.642, 0.722), P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Nec-1 attenuated necroptosis of brain cells by inhibiting the expression of RIP3 protein, so as to reduce brain injury after cardiac arrest in rats.
