Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have great impact on the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC).Recent studies show that the over-expression of H19,HOTAIR,TINCR and LINC00152 and the down-expression of MEG3,GAS5,LET and AA174084 are closely related to the occurrence,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of GC.lncRNAs provide an opportunity to develop new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of GC.

Objective To investigate the behavioral characteristics of circadian rhythm disturbance in 3xTg-AD mice.Methods The free-running period,average activity per hour,total amount of exercise and circadian amplitude were examined with voluntary wheel-running test in 3-to 9-month-old C57BL/6 and 3xTg-AD mice under 12 h light/12 h dark cycle and constant darkness environment.Results In constant darkness environment,the free-running period in 3-month-old 3xTg-AD mice was (23.2±0.4) h,and shorter than the period((23.5±0.2) h) in C57BL/6 mice.In 6-and 9-month-old 3xTg-AD mice,activity pattern was disorganized,without clear boundary between activity and rest phase.The free-running period was unavailable.The circadian amplitude and total exercise amount were(40.6± 11.5) counts/5 min and(2.6±0.1) × 104 counts/d,(37.0±20.8) counts/5 min and(2.3±0.4) × 104 counts/d,(29.3± 11.0) counts/5 min and(1.6± 0.9) × 104 counts/d in 3-,6-and 9-month-old 3xTg-AD mice,respectively,which was significantly lower than that in age-matched C57BL/6 mice.In 12 h light/12 h dark cycle,the circadian amplitude and total exercise amount of 3-,6-and 9-month-old 3xTg-AD mice were (87.0 ± 37.8) counts/5 min and (2.2 ± 0.8) × 104 counts/d,(25.9± 6.3) counts/5 min and (1.1 ± 0.2) × 104 counts/d,(14.3 ± 5.7) counts/5 min and (0.6 ± 0.3)× 104 counts/d respectively,and with a significant decrease from the age of 6 months.Meanwhile,the locomotor activity decreased at night and increased during the day.Conclusion The endogenous circadian rhythm disturbance emerges in 3xTg-AD mice at 3-month-old,while the exogenous circadian rhythm disorder appears at 6-month-old;the degree of disorder in circadian rhythm is gradually aggravated with the increase of age in of the AD mice.

Objective To investigate the effects of levothyroxine (Levo-thyroid hormone,L-TH4) in pregnancy subclinical hypothyroidism (SCHT), and study the relationship between L-TH4 with thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and glucose metabolism. The research could provide theoretical basis for the treatment of SCHT. Methods Sixty pregnant women were selected and signed the medical informed consent. The pregnancy were divided into three groups, 20 cases in each group.Normal control group: pregnancy underwent routine thyroid function normal; SCHT group: SCHT pregnancy patients who did not use drugs to treat SCHT; L-TH4 group: SCHT pregnancy patients given L-TH4 treatment. The blood was taken to test the contents of glucose level and HbA1c were observed; the activity of TSH and TPO were tested by ELISA method; HE staining method was used to observe the changing of placenta tissue. Results Compared with normal control group, the glucose and HbA1c were significantly increased in SCHT group (P<0.05). However, L-TH4 could decrease these index, compare with the SCHT group, and reduce the level of TSH and the activity of TPO, the difference was statistically significantly (P<0.05). Moreover, L-TH4 could improve the changing of placenta tissue. Conclusion L-TH4 could reduce blood glucose and HbA1c levels, also reduced the level of TSH and the activity of TPO in SCHT. L-TH4 could improve the changing of placenta tissue.

Objective:To evaluate the impacts of clinical,pathological,and laboratory factors on on-cological outcomes of patients with T3 N0 M0 renal cell carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data,laboratory exam results,and follow-up outcomes of 182 patients with T3 N0 M0 renal cell carcinoma who underwent nephrectomy from 2007 to 2012 in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected.The 5-year cancer-specific survival and 5-year recurrence-free survival of all the patients were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method,and the statistical significance between the survival curves were compared using the Log-rank test.Variables with significant differences in the univariate analysis were subjected to the multivariate analysis by Cox regression model.All the comparisons were conducted using two-tailed test and P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:A total of 182 patients were included in this study.Of all the 182 patients,126 were male (69.23%)and 56 were female (30.77%).The mean age was (56.75 ±12.45)years.The median follow-up time was 48 months (3 -99 months).At the end of the follow-up,50 patients (27.47%)died due to the disease after a median of 29.74 months and 59 patients (32.42%)had tumor recurrence after a median of 22.12 months.The 5-year cancer-specific survival of all patients was 68.30% (95% CI:60.16% -75.84%);the 5-year recurrence-free survival was 60.70% (95% CI:53.16% -68.84%).In the univariate analysis,diabetes mellitus, tumor invasion status,Fuhrman grade,serum album,serum cholestenone,anemia,and neutrophils per-centage were associated with the cancer-specific survival and Fuhrman grade,serum album and anemia were associated with the recurrence-free survival.Variables with significant differences on univariate analysis were included in Cox multivariate regression analysis.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (HR =2.434,95% CI:1.243 -4.769,P =0.010),hypoalbuminemia (HR =2.188,95% CI:1.074 -1.074,P =0.031),and anemia (HR =3.320,95% CI:1.839 -5.991,P <0.001)were independent risk factors significantly associated with cancer-specific survival;and higher Fuhrman grade (HR =2.552,95% CI:1.433 -4.545,P =0.001),anemia (HR =2.535, 95% CI:1.497 -4.293,P =0.001)were independent factors significantly associated with recurrence-free survival.Conclusion:Diabetes mellitus,hypoalbuminemia,and anemia were independent risk fac-tors significantly associated with cancer-specific survival of T3 N0 M0 renal cell carcinoma patients;higher Fuhrman grade and anemia were independent risk factors significantly associated with tumor recurrence of T3 N0 M0 renal cell carcinoma patients.

Objective: To evaluate the impacts of the prognostic factors of T2N0M0 upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) for Chinese patients.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted including 235 patients who were diagnosed with T2N0M0 UTUC in our hospital and received radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) or partial ureterectomy during January 2000 and December 2013.The 3 and 5-year can-cer-specific survival rates and bladder recurrence-free survival rates of all the patients were valued using Kaplan-Meier method, and the survival curves with statistical significance between the two were compared using the Log-rank test.Variables with significant differences in the univariate analysis were subjected to the multivariate analysis by Cox regression model.Results: A total of 235 patients were included in this study, including 95 (40.4%) male patients and 140 (59.6%) female patients.The mean age was 66.73±10.49 years.The median follow-up time was 53 (rang: 3-142) months, and during the follow-up, 74 (31.5%) patients died of UTUC after a median of 35 months,and 96 (40.9%) patients developed intravesical recurrence after a median of 19.5 months.The 3 and 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of all the patients were 89.1% and 85.9%, respectively;the bladder recurrence-free survival rates were 85.5% and 80.2%, respectively.The independent prognostic factors of cancer-specific mortality were tumor age elder than 55 years (HR=3.138, 95%CI: 1.348-7.306, P=0.008) and diameter larger than 5 cm (HR=3.320, 95%CI: 1.882-5.857, P<0.001).The independent prognostic factors of bladder recurrence-free survival were ureter tumor (HR=1.757, 95%CI: 1.159-2.664, P=0.008) and lower tumor grade (HR=1.760, 95% CI: 1.151-2.692, P=0.009).Conclusion: T2N0M0 UTUC has a better cancer-specific survival.The intravesical recurrence was equivalent to non-muscle invasive UTUC but earlier.The tumor diameter larger than 5 cm and the patient age elder than 55 years were independently associated with cancer-specific mortality;the primary tumor located in ureter and lower tumor grade were more likely to develop intravesical recurrence.

Objective: To investigate retrospectively a modified procedure of two-stage urethroplasty with distal urethral preset for proximal pediatric hypospadias and evaluate the feasibility and advantages of the method. Methods: From January 2013 to January 2018, two-stage urethroplasty with distal urethral preset was performed in 36 boys from 19 months to 15 years old (median age 36 months) with proximal hypospadias. The penile straightening and distal urethroplasty were performed at the first stage, meanwhile, the original urethral opening was preserved. After the distal reconstructed urethra performed in 6 months, the neourethra was connected with proximal meatus to re-establish the continuous urethra. The wound infection, urinary leakage, urethral stricture, appearance of penis and urination were observed after the second stage operation. Results: One case had skin infection around the wound after first stage operation and healed after wound management. Another one case had the distal urethra dehiscence but the wound has no signs of infection. The child had moderate anemia, and the hemoglobin is 80 g/L.It was therefore considered that anemia was the cause. The hemoglobin level was normal during the second stage operation, and repaired by Snodgrass method in the second stage. Five cases had the balanue dehiscence.Thirty case had being succeeded after the first stage, included a case of wound infection 5 days after operation. Three cases developed urethral fistula after the second stage repair, which were mended in the third stage. At a mean follow-up of 20 months postoperatively (14 to 48 months), all patients had satisfied appearance of penis, unobstructed urination and continuous urine line, without urinary fistula, urethral stricture and urethrocele at the second stage repair. Conclusions The distal urethral preset and staged procedure is a feasible operation that corrects proximal hypospadias with few complications and with good cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the change rate of regional cerebral ox-ygen saturation ( rSO2 ) and early postoperative cognitive function during laparoscopic surgery in elderly pa-tients. Methods Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients, aged 65-80 yr, scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. rSO2 was recorded at 5 min before anesthesia induction ( T0 ) , 5 min after tra-cheal intubation ( T1 ) , 5 min after changing position ( T2 ) , 1 h after changing position ( T3 ) , 5 min after stopping pneumoperitoneum ( T4 ) , and 5 min after changing to supine position at the end of pneumoperito-neum ( T5 ) . The change rate of rSO2 was calculated at T3 . Mini-Mental State Examination scores were per-formed at 1 day before surgery and 3 days after surgery. The patients were divided into cognitive disorder group and non-cognitive disorder group. Results Compared with non-cognitive disorder group, rSO2 was significantly increased at T2-5 , and the change rate of rSO2 was enlarged in cognitive disorder group ( P<0. 05) . The change rate of intraoperative rSO2 was negatively correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination scores at 3 days after surgery (r=-0. 516, P<0. 01). Conclusion The increased change rate of rSO2 during laparoscopic surgery may be related to the development of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients.
