Objective To evaluate the risk factors for early rebleeding (ERB) after elective endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in cirrhotic patients and the influence of ERB on the long-term survival.Methods A total of 198 cirrhotic patients who received elective EVL were retrospectively evaluated.Twenty-six patients rebleeded within 6 weeks after initial EVL and were assigned to the ERB group.One hundred and seventy-two other cirrhotic patients were assigned to the control group.Multivariate analysis was used to define the high risk factors of ERB.A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative survival rates between two groups.Results The Child-Pugh classification (P =0.016),Child-Pugh scores (P=0.012),and the total bilirubin (P =0.001) were significantly different between ERB and control group.Multivariate analysis showed total bilirubin was the only independent risk factor of ERB (OR =2.02,95%CI:1.04-4.04,P =0.008).The proportional mortality indicator of bleeding-related deaths was 66.7% (10/15) in ERB group and 13.6% (6/44) in control group (P <0.01).The five-year curmulative survival rate of the control-group was significantly higher than that of the rebleeding group (67.8% vs.25.3%,P < 0.01).Conclusion Cirrhotic patients with ERB after elective EVL have a poor prognosis.High level of total bilirubin may predict ERB.

Objective To establish the quality standard of flavone extracts in licorice residue; To provide the methods and basis for the quality control of total flavonoids extracted from licorice residue.Methods TLC was applied to compare the extracts with liquiritin and licorice; UV-spectrophotometry was used to measure the content of total flavones; EDTA-2Na titration was used to determine the content of calciumion.Results In the chromatogram of the test product, the spots of the same color were displayed on the corresponding position of the control medicinal material, and the fluorescent spots of the same color were displayed on the corresponding position of the control product. UV-spectrophotometry showed glycyrrhizin had a good linear relationship in the range of 3.32–9.96 μg/mL (r=0.9997), the absorbance between 0.3 and 0.7. The average recovery rate was 102.41% (RSD=3.22%), and the average content of total flavonoids in three batches of flavonoids extract was 8.82%. The average content of calciumion was 0.107% (RSD=3.61%).Conclusion This method has good repeatability, high sensitivity and accurate results, and can be used for the quality control of flavonoids in licorice residue.

Background and purpose: Recent studies have shown that, the new gene PRR11 had abnormal expression in lung cancer, stomach cancer, speculated that it might be correlated with tumor progression. This study aimed to detect the expression of PRR11 protein in human pancreatic carcinoma, and to analyze the relationship between PRR11 protein level and the clinical pathological parameters of pancreatic carcinoma. Methods: Immunohistochemistry (SP) method was used to detect the expression of PRR11 protein in 32 cases of human pancreatic cancer tissues, 20 cases of paracancerous tissues and 6 cases of normal pancreatic tissue. Chi Square test was used to analyze the relationship between the expression levels of PRR11 protein and the clinical pathological parameters (age, gender, the size of tumor, the location of tumor, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage). Results:The positive expression rates of PRR11 protein in pancreatic cancers, paracancerous tissues and normal pancreatic tissues were 78.1%(25/32), 5.0%(1/20) and 0.0%(0/6), respectively. The expression level of PRR11 in pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than those in paracan-cerous tissues or normal tissues. The positive expression rate of PRR11 protein in pancreatic carcinoma was significantly associated with cell differentiation degree and TNM stage (P<0.05), but not associated with patient age, gender, the size of tumor, the location of tumor and lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). Survival analysis demonstrated that the survival rate in the patients with PRR11 protein positive expression was significantly lower than the patients with negative expression (P<0.05). Conclusion:PRR11 protein can be a possible prognostic indicator of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the value of FDG PET-CT in the outcome assessment and prognostic evaluation for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC).Methods From January 2008 to December 2013,92 rNPC patients were treated in our center,who were histologically or radiologically diagnosed and re-staged according to the 2008 clinical staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China.The numbers of patients in stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ,and stage Ⅳ were 8,11,39,and 34,respectively.According to the recurrent T stage (rT),the numbers of patients in rT1,rT2,rT3,and rT4 were 10,11,38,and 33,respectively.Twenty-eight patients had recurrence in the neck lymph nodes.All patients underwent pretreatment FDG PET-CT for the whole body or head/neck,and treated by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.The relationship of maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and clinical factors with clinical outcomes was analyzed.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS),disease-free survival (DFS),local recurrence-free survival (LRFS),regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS),and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS).The log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis.The Cox model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results The 3-year OS,DFS,LRFS,RRFS,and DMFS were 33.6%,32.1%,32.8%,31.8%,and 33.7%,respectively.The median SUVmax was 8.35 (2.7-21.5).The SUVmax of 7.0 was taken as the optimal cut-off value for all patients.Patients with SUVmax ≤7.0 had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those with SUVm ax >7.0 (42.0% vs.28.3%,P=0.019).The univariate analysis revealed that patient age,SUV and rN were significantly associated with OS (P=0.023,0.019,and 0.002).The multivariate analysis showed that SUVmax and rN were significant influencing factors for OS,DFS,and DMFS (HR=1.68,P=0.045 and HR=2.23,P=0.003;HR=1.67,P=0.042 and HR=2.39,P=0.001;HR=1.77,P=0.025 and HR=2.40,P=0.001).Conclusions SUVmax may be one of the useful prognostic factors for OS,DFS,and DMFS in rNPC patients.
