ObjectiveTo compare the results of laparoscopic and open radical operation for rectal cancer.MethodsThree hundred and twelve patients with laparoscopic operation and 226 cases with open operation during the period of June 2004 to August 2009 were included.The long-term survival,operative data,postoperative recovery and complications were compared between the two grougs.ResultsThere were no significant differences in age,sex,tumor stage and histologic types between the two groups.The 3 and 5- year-survival rate was 84.5% and 66.7% in laparoscopic group,83.3% and 64.8% in traditional operation group with no significant difference by Life-table method.The intraoperative blood loss in laparoscopic group was obviously less than that in open group (61 ± 13 nl vs 174 ±84 ml,t =23.24,P <0.05).The time of p assage of gas by anus and hospital stay in laparoscopic group were significantly shorter than those in openg roup (2.7 ±1.3 d vs 3.6 ±1.8 d,t =6.61,P <0.05;9.1 ±2.4 d vs 12.0 ±3.4 d,t =11.8,P <0.05).No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the lymph nodes clearance ( 11.0 ± 2.7 vs 12±3.6,t=1.72,P >0.05),specimen length (16.0 ±3.4 cm vs 16.0 ±4.3 cm,t =0,P>0.05) and distal margin (3.2 ± 1.3 cm vs 3.2 ± 1.7 cm,t =0,P >0.05).Surgical site infection of incision developedin 28casesinopensurgerygroupandin8casesinlaparoscopicgroup(P< 0.05 ).ConclusionsLaparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer can achieve similar long-term survival as conventional laparotomy with minimal invasion,quicker recovery and less complications.

Objective To explore the differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their potential use as biomarkers for BL diagnosis.Methods The different miRNAs in BL from reactive hyperplasia of lymph node cases were screened by miRNA chip.The potential targets of miRNAs were predicted using miRWALK.MAS3 program was used to determine the putative functions of potential miRNA target genes by annotation using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses.Results A total of 46 miRNAs (36 upregulated and 21 downregulated) were dysregulated in BL compared with reactive hyperplasia of lymph node.Interestingly,members of the let-7 family (let-7f-1-3p) was downregulated in BL.The target genes of let-7f-1-3p were predicted,and the GO enrichment analysis revealed their functions were mainly related with multicellular organismal development and regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase Ⅱ promote.KEGG pathway analysis was also carried out among the predicted target genes,which showed that they were mainly involved in TGF-beta signaling pathway and related with chronic myeloid leukemia.Conclusions The set of differentially expressed miRNAs identified here expands the range of potential diagnostic markers for BL.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the methylation status of Runx3 promoter and Runx3 expression in breast lesion tissues.
METHODSOne hundred and fourteen breast lesions, including 35 cases of fibroadenoma, 39 cases of intraductal carcinoma, 40 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma, and 33 cases of normal breast tissue from Fabruary 2010 to August 2012 were included in this study. Runx3 protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemical SP method; whereas methylation of Runx3 promoter was assessed by high resolution melting (HRM) analysis.
RESULTSRunx3 protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of ductal epithelial cells. The expression rates of Runx3 in normal breast tissue, fibroadenoma, ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma were 87.9% (29/33), 85.7% (30/35), 53.8% (21/39), and 40.0% (16/40) respectively. The methylation rates of Runx3 promoter were 12.1% (4/33), 20.0% (7/35), 46.2% (18/39), and 57.5% (23/40), respectively. Correlation analysis between promoter methylation and protein expression of Runx3 in different breast tissue showed the r value in normal breast tissue, fibroadenoma, ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma was -0.431 (P = 0.012), -0.408 (P = 0.015), -0.589 (P = 0.000) and -0.743 (P = 0.000) respectively.
CONCLUSIONSRunx3 protein expression shows a downward trend in ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma, meanwhile its promoter methylation increases significantly. The methylation of Runx3 promoter may be one of the important factors in the occurrence and development of breast cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of 3.0 MRI imaging in evaluating the circumferential margin of rectal cancer.Methods:From March 2016 to May 2018, 105 cases of rectal cancer with definite pathology in Shaoxing People's Hospital were evaluated by preoperative MRI and post-operative pathology.The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were obtained.Results:The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 87.62%(92/105), 50.00%(1/2), 88.35%(91/103), 7.69%(1/13)and 98.91%(91/92), respectively.Conclusion:The accuracy of MRI in evaluating CRM is higher, the specificity and negative predictive value are higher, while the sensitivity and positive predictive value are lower.The reason is related to enlarging the resection scope during operation.Whether it will affect the prognosis of patients needs further follow-up results.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have overcome the limitations of traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapy with unique advantage of antibody targeting, and made breakthrough achievements in the treatment of lung cancer. At present, the researches of ADCs in non-small cell lung cancer mainly involve HER2, HER3, TROP2, MET, CEACAM5. Many ADCs have passed rigorous clinical trials, and have shown good safety and efficacy, which provides theoretical basis for individualized treatment of lung cancer.

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.

MET exon14 (METex14) skipping mutation is an independent driver gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . About 3%-4% of NSCLC patients carry METex14 skipping mutation. These patients have poor prognoses and poor responses to traditional chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Highly selective MET inhibitors such as capmatinib, tepotinib, savolitinib have shown good efficacy and safety data in clinical trials, which bring new treatment options for patients with METex14 skipping mutations.
