Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of extended hepatectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) of Bismuth-Cor-lette typesⅢandⅣ(the longitudinal invasion degree along the biliary system is the main criteria). Methods:The clinical data of 61 patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette types III and IV admitted in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hos-pital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2008 to May 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 61 cases, 22 underwent hepatectomy with half or over half of the liver removed or hepatic caudate lobectomy (regarded as the extended hepatectomy group), whereas 39 cases underwent irregular hepatectomy on the hepatic hilar region (regarded as the limited hepatectomy group). Results:Compared with those in the limited hepatectomy group, the patients in the extended hepatectomy group underwent longer duration of operation and experienced more bleeding during the procedure. The complication incidence rate for the extended hepatectomy group was lower than that for the limited hepatectomy group. No patient died during the perioperative period in the extended hepa-tectomy group, whereas two patients died in the limited hepatectomy group. Moreover, R0 resection was performed on 21 cases in the extended hepatectomy group, with a resection rate of (21/22) 95.5%, and on 20 cases in the limited hepatectomy group (P<0.05), with a resection rate of (20/39) 51.3%. Actuarial 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 77.27%, 36.36%, and 13.64%, respectively, in the extended hepatectomy group, and 69.23%, 20.51%, and 1.64%, respectively, in the limited hepatectomy group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Extended hepatectomy for patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette typesⅢandⅣcould effectively increase the resection rates of R0 and the survival rate. Meanwhile, the prognosis of patients could be improved.

Objective To analyze the causal relationship between Sjogren's syndrome(SS)and primary biliary cholangitis(PBC)and abnormal liver function by two-sample Mendelian randomization.Methods From the ge-nome-wide association study,single nucleotide polymorphisms of SS,PBC,alkaline phosphatase,alanine amin-otransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,γ-glutamyltransferase,direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels were extrac-ted as instrumental variables.Inverse-variance weighted(IVW)analysis was used as the main analysis,supplemen-ted by weighted median,MR-Egger,weighted mode,and simple mode.And a series of sensitivity analyses were car-ried out to verify the robustness of the results.Results The IVW analysis results of PBC on SS were as follows:P=8.57E-11,OR=1.185 9,95％CI=1.126 4-1.248 5;IVW analysis of PBC on SS(P＞0.05).IVW analysis results of SS on alkaline phosphatase were as follows:P=0.041 5,Beta=-0.007 2,95％CI=-0.014 0--0.000 3;IVW analysis results of SS on alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,γ-glutamyltransferase,direct bilirubin,total bilirubin levels showed no statistically significant difference.Conclusion PBC can significantly increase the risk of SS,but SS cannot be proved to have a causal effect on the occurrence of PBC.SS has a potential effect on re-ducing alkaline phosphatase levels,but it is not proved that SS has causal relationship with alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,γ-glutamyltransferase,direct bilirubin,total bilirubin levels.

Objective:To study the distribution characteristics of natural killer(NK)cells and their subsets in normal peripheral blood in China,and to explore their normal value and significance.Methods:In this study,peripheral blood was collected from 200 healthy adults.Their age range was 18-87 years.All the subjects were divided into 6 age groups:18-30,31-40,41-50,51-60,61-70,and 71-87 years.With CD16,CD56,CD4,CD19,as surface markers,fluid cytology detection tech-niques were used to detect NK cells and the relative and absolute counts.SPSS 27.0 was used for system-atic analysis of the data,and the measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviations.A t test,variance analysis or rank sum test were performed to compare the differences between the age groups and the sex groups.The significance level was set at α=0.05,and P＜0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:The range of NK B cells in the 200 healthy adult subjects was(0.46±0.24)× 106/L,that of CD3-CD56+NK cells was(13.14±7.56)× 106/L,that of CD56dimCD16+NK cells was(5.23±3.12)×106/L,that of CD56bright NK cells was(85.61±7.40)× 106/L,and that of NK T cells was(4.16±3.34)×106/L.There were no statistically significant differences in CD3-CD56+NK cells and NK T cells with respect to age(P=0.417,P=0.217).However,there was a decreasing trend in the number of NK B cells and CD56dimCD16+NK cells with increasing age(r=0.234,P＜0.001;r=0.099,P＜0.001),particularly after the age of 50.Conversely,CD56bright NK cells showed an increasing trend with age(r=0.143,P＜0.001).Conclusion:The detection of NK cells and their subsets has significant reference value for the diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of autoimmune diseases,infectious diseases,and tumors.This study provides a preliminary reference range for clinical detection of NK cell subsets,but further research with a larger sample size and multi-center trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Objective To study the role of leucine rich repeat neuronal 3 (LRRN3) in the prolif-eration of non-small cell lung cancer and its possible mechanism of expression regulation. Methods The expression of LRRN3 in non-small cell lung cancer was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( qPCR) , immunohistochemistry and bioinformatics retrieval;A lung cancer cell line A549-LRRN3 with stable over-expression of LRRN3 was established by lentivirus over-expression technology;The effect of LRRN3 on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay;Bioinformatics search for changes in methylation of LRRN3 promoter region and treatment of lung cancer cells by methyltransferase inhibitors to detect the effect of methylation on the regulation of LR-RN3 expression; Finally, bioinformatics search analyzes the correlation between LRRN3 and lung cancer prognosis. Results The mRNA expression of LRRN3 in clinical tissues of non-small cell lung cancer (n=12) was significantly lower than that of adjacent normal tissues (n=12) (P=0. 0014). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the protein expression level of LRRN3 in non-small cell lung adenocar-cinoma was lower than that in normal tissues (P=0. 001), and the expression in non-small cell lung squa-mous cell carcinoma was also lower than that in normal tissues (P=0. 003). Overexpression of LRRN3 in-hibited the proliferation of tumor cells (P<0. 01), and the hypermethylation of LRRN3 in the promoter re-gion inhibited its transcriptional expression. LRRN3 was positively correlated with the survival prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (P=5. 2e-09;HR=0. 48). Conclusions Hypermethylation in the promoter region of LRRN3 inhibits its transcriptional expression, thereby promoting the proliferation of lung cancer cells.
