[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToinvestigatetheroleoftinyantisensenucleicacidagainstmiR-155(tinyantimiR-155, t-antimiR-155) in multiple myeloma cells .METHODS:According to the seed sequence of miR-155, t-antimiR-155 was designed and synthesized .t-antimiR-155 was transfected by Lipofectamine TM 2000 into RPMI-8266 cells.The cells were di-vided into t-antimiR-155 group, scrambled control (SCR) group and blank control group .The growth-inhibitory potencies were measured by MTT assay .The ability of cell colony formation was detected by cell colony formation assay .The cell ap-optosis was assessed by flow cytometry with annexin V /PI double staining .RESULTS: The best concentration and time were 0.4 μmol/L and 48 h, respectively.The cell colony forming experiment showed that the circumstances of forming cell community in t-antimiR-155 group was weaker than that in SCR group , and the colony formation inhibitory rate of former was significant higher than the latter .Compared with SCR group , the cell apoptosis in t-antimiR-155 group significantly in-creased.CONCLUSION: The t-antimiR-155 inhibits the progression of multiple myeloma cells by interfering with miR-155.miR-155 may serve as a potential target in gene therapy for treating multiple myeloma .

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of single-session plasmapheresis therapy alone for the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN),and to investigate its adverse reactions.Methods Patients with TEN receiving single-session plasmapheresis therapy alone were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between September 2010 and December 2017.Clinical data on the disease severity,clinical efficacy,hospitalization duration and adverse reactions were analyzed.Results A total of 17 patients with TEN were enrolled into this study,including 9 males and 8 female,with an average age of 36.1 ± 25.4 years.Their initial SCORTEN and STENS scores were 2.1 ± 1.24 and 29.9 ± 6.6 respectively.After treatment,the STENS score decreased to 3.5 ± 1.8.Of the 17 patients,15 were cured after single-session plasmapheresis therapy,1 showed response to the treatment,and 1 died.The duration of intensive care unit stay was 6.4 ± 1.8 days,and the total hospitalization duration was 12.1 ± 5.7 days.There was no significant difference in the STENS score among the day 1,4,7,10 and 20 after hospital admission (F =18.569,P ＜ 0.05).No severe adverse reactions were observed,except 2 cases of plasma allergy.Conclusion Single-session plasmapheresis therapy alone is effective for the treatment of TEN without obvious adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma resection combined with nephrectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 27 cases undergoing retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma resection combined with nephrectomy at the Gastrointestinal Tumor Center , Guangdong Provincial Hospital , Traditional Chinese Medicine from Jun 2017 to Aug 2022 were retrospectively analyzed for the indication of nephrectomy, postoperative progression of renal insufficiency and survival rate.Results:Twenty-six cases (96%) achieved R 0/R 1 resection and 1 case nderwent R 2 resection. Six cases underwent combined unilateral nephrectomy and 21 patients underwent combined multi-organ resection with a median number of resections of 4 (2,5). Postoperative pathology suggested that the combined resected kidney was positive for tumor infiltration in 17 cases. Five cases had Clavien-Dindo grade 3 or higher complications and no deaths occurred within 30 days after surgery. At the 90th day after surgery, 19 cases (70%) had decreased renal function ( Z=2.88, P=0.04), with a median decrease of -3.96 (-30.36, 0.31)ml·(min·1.73 m 2) -1, including 8 cases of preoperative Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)1 stage progression (6 cases of CKD 2 stage, 2 cases of CKD 3 stage); 2 cases of CKD 2 stage progressed to CKD 3 stage; 1 case of preoperative CKD 3 stage progressed to CKD 4 stage. During the follow-up period of 3-38 months, no patient progressed to CKD 5 stage and no patient required dialysis treatment. Conclusion:Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma resection combined with nephrectomy is safe and feasible while improving tumor radicality.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and value of performing a three-sided encapsulation procedure based on fascia anatomy in laparoscopic lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) for middle and low rectal cancer.Methods:This was a retrospective review. The study cohort comprised patients who met the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer according to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer, had a short lymph node diameter of >5 mm on the lateral side within the 15 days before surgery, were evaluated as feasible candidates for laparoscopic total mesorectal excision+LLND surgery, had been diagnosed with low or intermediate level rectal cancer, and whose tumor was less than 8 cm away from the anal verge according to pathological examination of the operative specimen. Patients with a history of other malignant tumors of the abdomen or with incomplete follow-up data were excluded. Forty-two patients with middle and low rectal cancer who had undergone lateral lymph node dissection in diagnosis and treatment center of Gastrointestinal Cancer of Guangdong Hospital of Chinese Medicine from Jan.2018 to Dec.2022 were enrolled. There were 24 men (57.1%) and 18 women (42.9%) aged 58.4±11.8 years and the median BMI was 22.5 (19.3–24.1) kg/m 2. The main point of the three-sided encapsulation procedure is to expand the external side medial to the external iliac artery and vein, narrowing the range of exterior side dissection. The anterior-medial side is designed to expand the vesical fascia to define the range of anterior-medial side extension. The internal side is fully extended to the ureterohypogastric nerve fascia; the distal point of the caudal extension reaches the level of the Alcock canal and the bottom reaches the piriformis, enabling dissection of the obturator nerve and No.283 lymph nodes. No.263D lymph nodes are dissected by exposing the internal iliac artery and its branches, dissecting the group No.263P lymph nodes, and severing the inferior vesical artery. Finally, the lateral lymphatic tissue is completely resected. Relevant variables were recorded, including the number of lateral lymph nodes detected, the rate of lymph node metastasis, operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and 3-year overall survival rate. Results:Laparoscopic surgery was successfully completed in all patients with no conversions to open surgery and no intraoperative complications. Twenty-seven (64.3%) of the study patients underwent left-sided LLND, 10 (23.8%) right-sided LLND, and five (11.9%) bilateral LLND, with lymph nodes cleared on both sides. All patients' lymph nodes were examined pathologically. A median of 17.0 (11.7, 26.0) lymph nodes was detected, the median of lateral lymph nodes being 5.0 (2.0, 10.2). The median operation time was 254.5 (199.0, 325.2) minutes. The median intra-operative blood loss was 50.0 (30.0, 100.0) mL. All patients were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma by pathological examination of the operative specimen. Two patients developed postoperative intestinal obstruction, one lymphatic leakage, and one a perineal incision infection. There were no cases of anastomotic leakage. The median postoperative hospital stay was 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) days and the median follow-up time 23.5 (9.0, 36.7) months. During follow-up, three patients (7.1%) died of tumor recurrence and metastasis. Two (4.8%) experienced mild urinary dysfunction, and one (2.4%) had moderate postoperative erectile dysfunction. One patient (2.4%) was found to have prostate and lung metastases 3 month after surgery. The 3-year overall survival rate was 74.4%.Conclusions:Three sided encapsulation is a safe and feasible procedure for LLND, achieving accurate and complete clearance of lateral lymphatic tissue.
