Objective To investigate the prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) and clinicopathologic indexes in predicting recurrence following curative resection of pancreatic cancer. Methods The expressions of VEGF-C of 47 patients who underwent curative resection for curative pancreatic cancer resection were detected by Envision immunohistochemical methods. The effects of VEGF-C and clinicopathologic indexes on recurrence were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards model. Results The positive rates of VEGF-C were 61. 7% in = 29) and 14. 9%(n = 7), respectively, in pancreatic cancer and normal pancreatic tissues. The positive expression of VEGF-C in pancreatic carcinoma was obviously higher than the normal pancreatic tissues (P = 0. 018). The median disease-free survival time was 11. 9 months, the average disease-free survival time was 18. 4 + 2. 4 months, and the cumulative 1-year, 2-year and 3-year actuarial recurrence free survival rates were 46. 8%, 23. 4%, 14. 4%, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the VEGF-C expression and lymph node metastasis in pancreatic cancer (P = 0. 036). On Kaplan-Meier analysis, VEGF-C (P = 0. 020), tumor diameter (P = 0. 013), age (P = 0. 057) and adjuvant chemotherapy (P=0. 017) were associated with disease-free survival time. Multivariate analysis showed VEGF-C (P = 0. 009), tumor diameter (P = 0. 010) and adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0. 017)were independent prognostic factors of disease-free survival after surgery for pancreatic cancer.Conclusion The expression of VEGF-C was higher in pancreatic cancer, and VEGF-C was correlated with lymph node metastasis. VEGF-C was the biomarker that independently predicted disease-free survival after surgery for pancreatic cancer.

Objective To study the feasibility,safety,indications and possible advantages of minimally invasive surgery over traditional open surgery in treating pancreatic body or tail lesions.Methods From December 2009 to December 2014,the clinical data of 71 patients with lesions in pancreatic body or tail who underwent minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) or open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) at the General Surgery of Huadong Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.There were 22 patients in the MIDP group and 49 patients in the ODP group.The operations in 15 patients in the MIDP group were performed by the Da Vinci robot-assisted surgical system and 7 patients by laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.Results The MIDP group had a shorter time to pass first flatus [(MIDP (2.5 ± 1.0) d vs ODP (3.5 ±1.0)d,P ＜ 0.05],and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(MIDP (15.2 ± 7.9) d vs ODP (23.4 ±21.2) d,P ＜ 0.05] than the ODP group.There were no significant differences on total pancreatic fistula rate [MIDP 45.5％ (10/22) vs ODP 55.1％ (27/49),P ＞ 0.05] and symptomatic postoperative pancreatic fistula rate [MIDP 18.2％ (4/22) vs ODP 18.4％ (9/49),P ＞ 0.05] between the two groups.The MIDP group had a significant longer operative time [MIDP (246.3 ±75.3)min vs ODP (168.1 ±33.7)min,P＜0.05] than the ODP group.Conclusions Minimally invasive surgery is safe and feasible in treatment of lesions in pancreatic body or tail with less trauma and faster recovery.The application of robotic surgery has expanded the treatment options for lesions in pancreatic body or tail.

Objective To investigate the relationship between EphA2, EphrinAl and E-cadherin expressions and tumor stage and prognosis in pancreatic cancer. Method EphA2, EphrinAl and Ecadherin expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry in the tumor tissue and normal tissue specimens from 48 patients with primary pancreatic cancer. Results The expressions of EphA2 and EphrinAl were higher in the pancreatic carcinoma tissues than in the normal pancreatic tissues (P<0. 05). The E-cadherin expression was lower in the pancreatic cancer tissues than in the normal pancreatic tissues (P<0. 05). With decreasing histological differentiation, the expressions of EphA2 and EphrinAl in carcinoma tissues increased significantly (P<0. 05), while the E-cadherin expression decreased significantly (P<0. 05). The positive expressions of EphA2 and EphrinAl in the primary tumor significantly increased in stageⅢ and Ⅳ than in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ (47. 9%vs 6. 25% , P<0. 05;47. 9% vs 8. 3%, P<0. 05), while the negative expression of E-cadherin was reversely correlated with these tumor stages (14. 6% vs 64. 6%, P<0. 05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the clinical stage, EphA2 positive expression and E-cadherin negative expression were significantly associated with survival. Conclusion Abnormal expressions of EphA2, EphrinAl and E-cadherin were involved in the progression of pancreatic cancer and they were useful in predicting prognosis.

Objective To compare the efficacy of flurbiprofen axetil combined with fentanyl administered using different modes for postoperative analgesia.Methods This was a prospective,multicenter,randomized,double-blind,control,parallel-group study.ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 14-91 yr,weighing 35-95 kg,scheduled for orthopedic,thoracic or hepatobiliary surgery under general anesthesia from January 2010 to October 2010,were randomly divided into A,B and C groups.The three groups received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery.In group A,flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg was injected immediately after the end of surgery and then PCIA was performed with fentanyl 1.0 mg in 100 ml of normal saline.In group B,PCIA was performed with flurbiprofen axetil 200 mg and fentanyl 0.6 mg in 100 ml of normal saline.In group C,flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg was injected immediately after the end of surgery and then PCIA was performed with flurbiprofen axetil 200 mg and fentanyl 0.6 mg in 100 ml of normal saline.The PCA pump was set up with a 2 ml bolus dose,a 10 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h.VAS scores at rest and during activity and sedation score were recorded at the end of surgery and 4,8 and 24 h after surgery.The effective analgesia,excessive sedation,nausea and vomiting,dizziness,somnolence and respiratory depression were recorded within 24 h after surgery.Samples from the PCIA bump were taken to do microbe culture experiment at 24 and 48 h after surgery.Results Two thousand five hundred and ninety-six cases completed this trial (875 cases in group A,946 cases in group B and 775 cases in group C).Compared with group A,VAS scores at rest and during activity at the end of surgery and 4,8 and 24 h after surgery and sedation score were significantly decreased in group B,VAS scores at rest and during activity were significantly decreased at the end of surgery and 4 and 8 h after surgery and sedation scores were significantly increased at 4 and 8 h after surgery in group C,the rate of effective analgesia was increased in groups B and C,the incidence of excessive sedation was decreased in group B,while increased in group C,the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was significantly decreased in groups B and C,and the incidence of postoperative dizziness was significantly decreased in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group B,no significant change was found in the VAS scores at rest and during activity,rate of effective analgesia,and incidences of nausea and vomiting,and somnolence (P ＞ 0.05),sedation scores were significantly increased at the end of operation and 4 and 8 h after surgery,the incidence of excessive sedation was increased,and the incidence of postoperative dizziness was decreased in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Neither bacterium nor fungus was found in the PCIA pump samples.Conclusion PCIA with flurbiprofen axetil 200 mg and fentanyl 0.6 mg (background infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h,2 ml bolus dose,10 min lockout interval) provides better efficacy and the occurrence of sides effects is low for the patients undergoing moderate or major operations.

Objective: To explore cyberbullying and risk factors of middle school students, and to provide a reference for cyberbullying prevention in school settings. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 12 940 students from three junior high schools and four senior high schools in Yixing City of Jiangsu Province, China, to conduct a questionnaire survey from March 1 to May 31, 2019. The Chi -square test was performed to compare differences in the prevalence of cyberbullying among groups with different sociodemographic characteristics, and the multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors. A risk predictive nomogram model was constructed and then verified. Results: Middle school students were found to be victims of cyberbullying at a rate of 12.3%. The Logistic regression results showed that alcohol use ( OR =1.93), lack of emotional management ( OR =1.30), feeling unsafe ( OR =1.70), not trusting people ( OR =1.66), increased daily online time ( OR =1.39), higher frequency of using social software or websites ( OR =2.24), poor relationships with family members ( OR =1.46), parental neglect ( OR =1.50), class leadership ( OR =1.30) and poor relationships with classmates ( OR =1.34) were risk factors for middle school students who were victims of cyberbullying ( P <0.05). Based on these 10 independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model, had good discrimination ( AUC =0.73). Conclusion Cyberbullying is common among middle school students. Internet use, parental neglect and class leadership all have an impact on cyberbullying.

Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy(PHO) is a rare disease also known as pachydermoperiostosis. We reported a painless case whose diagnosis was confirmed by genetic test. A 24-year-old male presented a series of symptoms that first began at 14. He suffered from progressive clubbed-fingers accompanied by swelling of the wrist and ankle joints. Facial skin concentric thickening and alar nose broadening appeared simultaneously and increased progressively. He was also prone to acne and hyperhidrosis. X-rays showed thickening of the metacarpal and phalangeal bones, as well as symmetrical periosteal ossification of both the tibia and fibula. Clinical diagnosis of PHO is difficult because of the variable features. With acromegaly excluded, the diagnosis was confirmed by a genetic test. Whole exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous SLCO2A1 c.611C > T(p.Ser204Lue) and SLCO2A1 c.1602C > A(p.Asn534Lys) mutation from each parent. It suggests that primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy should be considered for young limb hypertrophic patients especially when periosteal thickening signs were showed in X-ray. A confirmatory diagnosis can be made through the genetic test.
