Objective:To investigate the effects of sorafenib on hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels and recurrence in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with microvascular invasion.Methods:Ninety-two patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who received treatment in Yiwu Central Hospital between November 2013 and November 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo either conventional basic treatment (control group, n = 46) or conventional basic treatment and sorafenib treatment (study group, n = 46). Clinical efficacy, the incidence of adverse reactions and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Before and after treatment, HIF-1, alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and VEGF levels were also compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, total effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group [63.04% (29 /46) vs. 28.26% (13/46), χ2 = 11.215, P < 0.05]. After treatment, HIF-1, AFP and VEGF levels in each group were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P > 0.05). After treatment, HIF-1 [(165.23 ± 39.67) pg/mL], AFP [(109.16 ± 67.31) ng/mL] and VEGF [(297.28 ± 42.41) pg/mL] levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(205.56 ± 40.23) pg/mL, (235.17 ± 106.41) ng/mL, (365.16 ± 40.91) pg/mL, t = 4.841, 6.788, 7.813, all P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Six-month follow-up revealed that the incidence of recurrence in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( χ2 = 4.792, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Sorafenib can reduce the HIF-1, AFP and VEGF levels in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with microvascular invasion, improve the clinical efficacy, decrease the incidence of recurrence, but cannot increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To establish a optimal method and threshold of 3-deoxy-3-fluorothymidine (FLT) PET-CT in delineating the biological target length of gross tumor in esophageal carcinoma, and to compare FLT PET-CT with other imaging modalities including esophagoseopy, esophagography, CT and flu-orodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-CT. Methods Twenty-four patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with radical surgery were enrolled. Before surgery, all the patients underwent FLT PET-CT, esepha-goscopy and esophagography. Twenty-two patients also received FDG PET-CT scan. Gross tumor volumes (GTV) were delineated using seven different threshold of FLT PET-CT: visual interpretation, standardized uptake value (SUV) 1.3, SUV 1.4, SUV 1.5, 20% of maximum standard uptake value (SUV_(max)), 25% SUV_(max), and 30% SUV_(max). Three different thresholds of FDG PET-CT were used, including visual interpre-tation, SUV 2.5, and 40% SUV_(max). The length of tumors on FLT PET-CT scan were measured and recorded as L_(FLTvis), L_(FLT1.3), L_(FLT1.4), L_(FLT1.5), L_(FLT20%), L_(FLT25%), and L_(FLT30%), respectively. The length of tumors on FDG PET-CT scan were recorded as L_(FDGvis), L_(FDG2.5), and L_(FDG40%), respectively. The length of tumors on CT, esophagography and esophagoscopy were recorded as L_(CT), L_(X-ray) and L_(Scopy). All of these results were com-pared with the length of gross tumor in the reseeted specimen measured by pathological examination (L_(Path)), Results The L_(Path) was (4.90±2.14) cm. The Length of tumors delineated by different methods, being from short to long, were L_(FDG40%), L_(Scopy), L_(X-ray),L_(FLT1.5),L_(CT),L_(FLT30%),L_(FLTvis),L_(FLT1.4),L_(FLT25%), L_(FDG2.5),L_(FDGvis),L_(FLT1.3),L_(FLT20%). The mean values were (3.85±1.52), (4.46±2.23), (4.63± 2.37), (4.64±2.38),(4.69± 1.85),(4.75±2.19) ,(4.85±2.33),(4.87±2.35),(5.05±2.20), (5.08± 2.19) ,(5.10±2.22), (5.21±2.40) and (5.53±2.17) cm,respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.91,0.93,0.88, 0.95, 0.90, 0.81,0.96, 0.96, 0.80, 0.99, 0.99, 0.95 and 0. 79 , respective-ly. All the P values were 0. 000. L_(FLT1.4) of FLT PET-CT and L_(FDG2.5) of FDG PET-CT were found more ap-proximate to L_(Path). There was no significant difference between L_(FLT1.4) and L_(FDG2.5) (1= 1.23, P = 0.232), and the correlation coefficient was 0.96 (P = 0. 000). Conclusions Thresholds of SUV 1.4 on FLT PET-CT and SUV 2.5 on FDG PET-CT could optimally estimate the tumor length measured by pathological examina-tion, and could be objective and simple methods for semiquantitative analysis.

Objective: To learn the willingness and influencing factors of influenza vaccination among the community managed diabetic patients in Keqiao District, Shaoxing, so as to provide the basis for influenza vaccination promotion. Methods: A self-compiled questionnaire survey was conducted from October to December 2017 among all the managed diabetic patients in Keqiao District. The contents of questionnaire included the basic information of the respondents, awareness of influenza vaccine, vaccination status and vaccination intention. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the willingness of influenza vaccination. Results: A total of 15 060 questionnaires were sent out and 13 781 valid ones were retrieved, the response rate was 91.51%. There were 3 888 patients with the awareness of influenza vaccine, accounting for 28.21%; 4 259 patients with the willingness to be vaccinated, accounting for 30.90%; 630 previously-vaccinated patients, accounting for 4.57%. The patients who were female (OR=1.157, 95%CI: 1.064-1.258) , were married (OR=1.242, 95%CI:1.107-1.393), were with other chronic diseases (OR=1.199, 95%CI: 1.103-1.303) , believed diabetic patients were more susceptible to influenza (OR=1.251, 95%CI: 1.102-1.419) , believed influenza aggravate diabetes status (OR=1.640, 95%CI: 1.445-1.860) , believed that the vaccination effectively prevent influenza (OR=3.129, 95%CI: 2.866-3.416) , knew about influenza vaccine (OR=1.111, 95%CI: 1.105-1.216) and ever received influenza vaccination (OR=1.316, 95%CI: 1.103-1.570) were more willing to be vaccinated. Conclusions The willingness of influenza vaccination among the community managed diabetic patients in Keqiao District is low. The patients＇gender, married status, other chronic diseases, awareness of influenza vaccine and the history of vaccination can affect the willingness of influenza vaccination.

Objective To explore the impact of the sialic acid binding lectin-E(Siglec-E)on the inhibitory properties of parthenolide(PTL)against lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced M1 polarization of microglia(BV2).Methods ①Single cell sequencing data of Siglece related mouse brain tissue was obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database and divided into the WT group(n=3)and the Siglece-/-group(n=4).The microglia cells were screened,and the enrichment analysis was performed to analyze related differential genes and pathways.BV2 cells were constructed by the shRNA interference technique and were divided into NC-shRNA and Siglece-shRNA to detect the expression level of Siglec-E(Siglece).② NC-shRNA and Siglece-shRNA cells were respectively divided into the Control group,LPS group,PTL group and PTL+LPS group(n=3).The mRNA levels of markers of M1 polarization in microglia,iNOS,IL-1 β and IL-6,were detected by RT-qPCR.Siglecefl/fl and Cx3cr1cre mice were mated to obtain microglia-specific Siglece deletion(Siglecefl/fl×Cx3cr1cre)mice,and LPS-induced neuroinflammation model was established.③ Nine WT and Siglecefl/fl×Cx3cr1cre male mice were assigned to the Control group,LPS group and PTL+LPS group(n=3).RT-qPCR,immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting were used to verify the knock-out effect and polarization-related pathways,and to investigate the mechanism of Siglec-E affecting PTL inhibition of M1 polarization of microglia.Results Compared with the NC-shRNA group,the expression of Siglec-E in the Siglece-shRNA group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),indicating that the Siglec-E knock-down cell model was successfully established.With the stimulation of LPS,mRNA levels ofiNOS,IL-1 β and IL-6 were significantly up-regulated compared with the Control group both in shRNA cells and Siglece-shRNA cells(P<0.01).With the influence of PTL and LPS,the markers of M1 polarization in NC-shRNA cells mentioned before were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while for Siglice-shRNA cells,there were no significant changes in the markers of M1 polarization.PTL inhibited the phosphorylation of JNK and IκB protein(P<0.01)and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in BV2 cells,down-regulated Siglec-E,and weakened the inhibitory effect.Compared with mice in the WT group,the expression of Siglec-E in microglia of Siglecefl/fl×Cx3cr1cre mice was decreased significantly(P<0.01),and the inhibitory effect of PTL on the phosphorylation of NF-κB in microglia of Siglecefl/fl×Cx3cr1cre mice was also decreased.Conclusion The absence of Siglec-E in microglia attenuates the inhibition of M1 polarization by the MAPK/NF-κB pathway targeted by PTL.
