Objective: To study the prognostic significance of the subtype of SYT-SSX fusion gene, E-cadherin, β-Catenin and clinicopathologicel parameters for the metastasis of synovial sarcomas. Methods: A total of 98 synovial sar-coma patients with complete clinical and follow-up data were reviewed. RT-PCR was used to detect the subtype of SYT-SSX fusion geneo The expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin was detected by immunohistochemistry. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the influence of the above factors and clinicopathological parameters on the metastasis free survival to explore the factors affecting the metastasis of synovial sarcoma. Results: Of all the pa-tients, 69.4% (68/98) had metastasis during follow-up. The median metastasis free survival was 48 months. The metastasis free 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rate after surgery was 97.5%, 75.5%, 63.5%, 54.0%, and 48.5%, respectively; 31.6% (31/98) patients were found with SYT-SSX1 and 68.4% (67/98) patients with SYI-SSX2. The positive rate of E-cadherin ex-pression was 38.8% (38/98), the positive rate of β-catenin expression was 39.8% (39198) on cellular membrane and 53.1% (52/98) in cellular nucleus/cytoplasm. Univariate analysis showed that age (P=0.003), mitotic figure (P=0.002), histological grade (P=0.001), the subtype fusion gene of SYT-SSX (P=0.014), E-cadherin expression (P=0.015) and β-catenin expres-sion on cellular membrane (P=0.020) were significantly correlated with metastasis free survival of synovial sarcoma pa-tients. Sex (P=0.190), tumor location (P=0.105), tumor size (P=0.180), histological type (P=0.354), necrosis (P=0.451), β-catenin expression in cell nucleus/cytoplasm (P=0.911), radiotherapy (P=0.193), and chemotherapy (P=0.249) had no sig-nificant correlation with metastasis free survival of synovial sarcoma patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that the sub-type of SYT-SSX1 fusion gene (RR=2.505, P=0.003), negative expression of E-cadherin (RR=3.282, P=0.000), patient age (RR=2.157, P=0.004), and grade Ⅲ (RR=1.784, P=0.030) were independent risk factors for metastasis of synovial sarco-ma. Conclusion: The subtype of SYT-SSX, expression of E-cadherin, histological grade and the age of patients are impor-tant factors for evaluating the metastasis and prognosis of synovial sarcoma.

Objective: To study the prognostic significance of cell proliferation and apoptosis, MVD and clinicopathologi-cal parameters for the recurrence of synovial sarcoma. Methods: We analyzed the clinical and follow-up data of 56 synovial sarcoma patients without metastasis. RT-PCR was used to detect the subtype of SYT-SSX fusion gene. The expression of Ki67 and MVD was detected by immunohistochemistry. Univariate analysis was employed to analyze the influence of the above factors and clinicopathological parameters on the recurrence free survival and to explore the influencing factors for the recurrence of synovial sarcoma. Results: Of all the patients, 73.2% (41/56) had recurrence during the follow-up. The median recurrence free survival was 19.5 months. The recurrence free 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates after surgery were 45.0%, 41.0%, 34.0%, 28.0%, and 28.0%, respectively. Ki-67 labeling index (LI) was 19.98%±11.64% and MVD was 51.83±21.92 per ×400. There was no significant difference in apoptotic index (AI) between the two groups (P=0.607). Χ~2 analysis showed that histological type (P=0.000) and MVD (P=0.045) were significantly correlated with the recurrence of sy-novial sarcoma. Univariate analysis showed that Ki67 LI (P=0.009), histological type (P=0.012) and radiotherapy (P= 0.014) were significantly correlated with the recurrence free survival of synovial sarcoma patients. Sex (P=0.015), tumor lo-cation (P=0.411), tumor size (P=0.801), necrosis (P=0.486), MVD (P=0.454), chemotherapy (P=0.272), and apoptotic grade (P=0.899) were not correlated with the recurrence free survival of synovial sarcoma patients. Multivariate analysis re-vealed that higher expression of Ki67 (RR=1.944, P=0.045), radiotherapy (RR=0.482, P=0.04), and histological type (RR= 0.207, P=0.031) were independent risk factors for the recurrence of synovial sarcoma. Conclusion: The expression of Ki67, radiotherapy and histological type are important factors for evaluating the recurrence and prognosis of synovial sarcoma.

OBJECTIVE:To study the gene mutation status of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients and its relationship with clinical indexes,and to provide reference for individualized administration of EGFR-TKI in NSCLC patients. METHODS:Totally of 274 NSCLC patients from the northern of Jiangsu area were selected from our hospital during Jan. 2015-Dec. 2017. Mutation status of EGFR gene in lung tissue was determined by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-TaqMan PCR assay. The relationship of EGFR gene mutation with clinical indexes as gender,age, smoking status, staging, tumor differentiation and pathological type were analyzed retrospectively. Compared with related literatures,the regional differences of EGFR gene mutation were analyzed. RESULTS:Among 274 NSCLC patients,112 patients suffered from EGFR gene mutation with total mutation rate of 40.88%. There were 50,57,3,2 cases of exon 19,exon 21,exon 20 and exon 19+21 mutation,and the types of EGFR gene mutation were delE746-A750,L858R and insH773-V774H,etc. The mutation rates of EGFR gene exon 19,exon 21 in non-smoking,early,well-differentiated and adenocarcinoma patients were 52.50%,47.24%,46.36% and 45.00%,which were significantly higher than smoking (28.57%),advanced (27.03%), poor-differentiated(31.71%)and squamous cell carcinoma(27.66%)patients,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in mutation rates of EGFR gene exon 19 and exon 21 between male and female,≥65 year-old and <65 year-old patients (P>0.05). EGFR mutation rate of NSCLC subjects from the northern of Jiangsu area was significantly higher than Shanghai area(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance compared with Yunnan area(P>0.05)but mutation types were different. CONCLUSIONS:There is the highest EGFR gene mutation rate in its exon 21,lesser in exon 19,rare in exon 20 and exon 19+21 among NSCLC patients from the Northern of Jiangsu area. There are obvious regional differences. The mutation rate of EGFR gene mutation exon 19 and exon 21 are associated with smoking status,staging,tumor differentiation and pathological type of NSCLC patients. The non-smoking, early stage, well-differentiated and adenocarcinoma patients are more likely to benefit from EGFR-TKI targeted therapy.
