Objective To investigate the regulation of miR-939-5p on USP22 gene expression and its effect on liver cancer migration and proliferation.Methods The expression of miR-939-5p in hepatoma cell lines (HepG2,MHCC-97H,SMMC-7721,BEL-7404 and Huh7) and normal liver cell line LO2 was detected by realtime PCR (qPCR).The liver cancer cells with the lowest expression were used as experimental subjects,and transfected with miR-939-5p (Experimental group) or miR-NC (Control group).qPCR was used to detect the transfection efficiency of miR-939-5p.Transwell migration assay and MTT proliferation assay were used to detect the migration and proliferation of hepatoma cells after transfected miR-939-5p.Bioinformatics software predicted target genes for miR-939-5p.The dual luciferase reporter gene verified the interaction of miR-939-5p with the target gene.qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of target genes at mRNA and protein levels after over-expression of miR-939-5p.Measurement data were expressed as (Mean ± SD),and t test was used for comparison between groups.Results The expression of miR-939-5p was significantly lower in hepatoma cell lines than in normal hepatocytes (P ＜0.01),and the expression of miR-939-5p was the lowest in SMMC-7721 cells (P＜0.01).miR-939-5p was efficiently transfected into SMMC-7721 cells [(1.01 ±0.07) vs (20.12 ± 1.27),P ＜0.01].High expression of miR-939-5p inhibited the migration ability (P ＜ 0.01) and proliferative capacity of liver cancer SMMC-7721 cells (P ＜0.05).The USP22 gene may be a target gene of miR-939-5p.The luciferase reporter gene confirmed that miR-939-5p specifically binds to the 3'-UTR of USP22 mRNA (P ＜ 0.01).USP22 expression was decreased at mRNA and protein levels after high expression of miR-939-5p (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The expression of miR-939-5p was down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines,and miR-939-5p inhibited the migration and proliferation of liver cancer SMMC-7721 cells.The molecular mechanism was to interfere with the expression of USP22 gene.

Fifteen patients with sinus-type pressure ulcer in ischial tuberosity were admitted to our unit from April 2013 to April 2017, including 12 patients of unilateral pressure ulcer and 3 patients of bilateral pressure ulcer. The wounds were with infection of different degrees. The outer wound area of pressure ulcer before debridement ranged from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 6.0 cm×5.0 cm. Fifteen patients with 15 pressure ulcers were treated with vacuum sealing drainage for 3 to 13 days after debridement and sinus wall resection. Unilateral pressure ulcer was repaired with posterior femoral bilobed flap. One side of bilateral pressure ulcer was repaired with posterior femoral bilobed flap, and the other side was repaired with gluteus maximus muscle flap combined with local flap. The size of flaps ranged from 11.0 cm×7.5 cm to 15.0 cm×10.0 cm. Epidermis of the distal part and edge of the main flap was removed to make complex dermal tissue flap to fill the deep cavity. The other part of the main flap was applied to cover wound, and another flap of the bilobed flap was applied to cover the donor site where main flap was resected. The donor sites were sutured directly. The posterior femoral bilobed flaps in 15 patients survived after operation. Pressure ulcers of 12 patients were healed well. Incision of 2 patients ruptured and healed 15 days after second sewing. One pressure ulcer with infection under the flap healed on 16 days post second completely debridement. During follow-up of 3 to 18 months, flaps were with soft texture, good appearance, and no recurrence.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 69 patients with SPN of the pancreas who were admitted to the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2012 to July 2017 were collected.Serum tumor markers detection,enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of abdomen were carried out preoperatively for all the patients,and a part of the patients received endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).Surgery plans were formulated after completion of examinations.Observation indicators:(1) clinical features;(2) treatment situation;(3) results of pathological examination;(4)follow-up.All the patients were followed up via outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect the survival and tumor recurrence and metastasis till July 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented by (x)±s and were compared by Student's t test.Count data were compared by chi-square test.Results (1) Clinical features:① epidemiologic features:the ratio of male to female was 1∶5.9;patients were aged between 9 and 65 years,including 40 under 30 years and 29 above or equal to 30 years.The onset age was (34± 15)years for male patients and (28 ± 11)years for female patients,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (t=1.364,P＞0.05).Of 69 patients,SPN was located at pancreatic uncinate process in 25 patients,at neck of pancreas in 12 patients,body and tail of pancreas in 32 patients.② Medical history:history of acute or chronic pancreatitis and abdominal trauma were denied by all the 69 patients.③ Clinical manifestation:26 patients had no obvious symptoms and were detected by physical examination;31 patients had discomfort in upper abdomen,nausea and vomiting;other patients were admitted to the hospital because of upper abdominal mass (10 patients),jaundice (1 patient) or nausea,constipation (1 patient).④ Laboratory examination:the levels of preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9 were normal.⑤ Imaging examination:plane scan of the CT examination showed round or round-like low-density shadows in the 69 patients,including 51 of cystic solid lesion,13 of solid lesion and 5 of cystic lesion.Complete capsules were observed in 64 patients,blurred boundary between pancreas and adjacent viscera in 5 patients,calcified foci in the pancreatic parenchyma and capsules in 14 patients.Ten patients received MRI examination,and the T1-weighted images showed equal or slightly lower signal,T2-weighted images showed slightly higher signal in the plane scan,and T1-weighted and T2-weighted images of the tumor capsule showed continuous or non-continuous ring-like signal.The results of enhanced scan showed slightly heterogeneous enhancement of the capsule and the parenchyma of the pancreas in the arterial phase,and progressive enhancement in the venous and delayed phase,while the enhancement degree was lower than that of the normal pancreas parenchyma.The parenchyma was cloud-,papillaor mural nodule-like enhanced.Obvious enhancement was observed in capsule while not in the cystic components.The boundaries of the tumors in 5 patients were clear under EUS.Hypo-,iso-and hyperechoic regions were found in the masses,and the masses were confirmed as cyst-solidary type.Obvious calcified foci were found in 1 patient.(2) Treatment outcome:twenty-seven patients received laparoscopic surgery,including tumor expiration in 13 patients,distal pancreatectomy with preservation of spleen in 8 patients,distal pancreatectomy combined with splenectomy in 2 patients,middle pancreatectomy in 2 patients,pancreaticoduodenectomy with preservation of pylorus in 1 patient,pancreatic head resection with preservation of duodenum under the assistance of laparoscopy in 1 patient.Forty-two patients received open surgery,including tumor expiration in 12 patients,distal pancreateetomy with preservation of spleen in 10 patients,distal pancreatectomy combined with spleneetomy in 6 patients,middle pancreatectomy in 5 patients,pancreaticoduodenectomy in 7 patients (with preservation of pylorus in 2 patients) and pancreatic head resection combined with preservation of duodenum in 1 patient.One patient with SPN + hepatic metastasis received distal pancreatectomy+ metastatic foci resection in the lesser omental bursa,and then followed by radiofrequency ablation in the hepatic metastatic foci.Postoperative complications:21 of 69patients had postoperative complications,including 17 intestinal fistulas,2 abdominal bleedings,1 incomplete obstruction,1 pleural effusion + atelectasis,and all of them were cured by symptomatic treatment.(3)Pathological examination:the resection margins of 69 patients were negative.The mean diameter of the tumor was (7±4) cm (21 patients with tumor diameter ＜ 5 cm,and 48 with tumor diameter ≥5 cm).The tumor diameters of 4 in 10 male patients were above or equal to 5 cm,and the number was 44 in 59 female patients,with statistically significant difference (x2 =4.828,P＜0.05).The tumor diameters of 32 in 40 patients who aged under 30 years were above or equal to 5 cm,and the number was 16 in 29 patients who were aged above or equal to 30 years,with statistically significant difference (x2=4.895,P＜0.05).Solid,pseudo-papillary and cystic regions in the SPN tissues were seen under the light microscope.Tumor cells were surrounded the blood vessels and were arranged in the nest or sheet shape in the solid region;blood vessels were surrounded by one or multiple layers of tumor cells in the axis or pseudopapillary shape in the pseudopapillary region;large amount of mucus and clusters of blood cells were seen in the cystic regions.The result of immunohistochemistry showed that the positive rates of α1-antitrypsin,vimentin,β-catenin,progesterone receptor,CD10,synaptophysin and chromogranin A were 100.0％ (39/39),96.6％ (28/29),95.7％ (45/47),94.4％ (51/54),92.5％ (49/53),72.9％ (35/48) and 5.6％ (3/54),respectively.(4) Follow-up:63 of 69 patients were followed up for 1-68 months,with median time of 29 months.No SPN recurrence or metastasis was detected.One patient died of lung cancer at postoperative month 35 and other patients survived well.Conclusions SPN of pancreas is mostly detected in young female patients,and it could be solid or cystic.Abdominal enhanced CT or MRI examination could clarify the diagnosis.EUS-fine needle aspiration examination could provide pathological evidence for definitive diagnosis.Typical cellular morphology and pseudopapillary regions may provide hints for the diagnosis of SPN,and the diagnosis could be clarified when combined with the detection of vimentin,α 1-antitrypsin or other indexes.Complete resection of SPN and ensure negative resection margin are fundamental principles of treatment.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Euphorbia kansui (E. KS) alcohol extracts on urination and kidney-related expressions of mice injected with normal saline and to discuss its impact on kidney.

METHODMice intraperitoneally injected with normal saline were observed for urination and changes in kidney-related histiocytic factors of after intragastrical administration of E. KS and compared with normal mice.

RESULTE. KS alcohol extracts can promote urination of mice injected with normal saline and enhance peripheral serum creatinine, with no obvious pathological change showed in tissue sections. It had a certain effect on reducing AQP2 expression and enhancing TNF-alpha expression.

CONCLUSIONEuphorbia kansui in large dose has a remarkable effect on kidney but may be accompanied with pathological reactions to some extent, especially the dose of 1.2 g x kg(-1). The pathological reactions may be related with increased serum creatinine and TNF-alpha expression.

Objective: To investigate anemia rate and to analyze related factors in maternal women in Taicang of Jiangsu province. Methods: There were 13 278 pregnant women who had prenatal care and gave birth in 25 hospitals during 2014-2016 in Taicang of Jiangsu Province. We excluded 1 179 women who registered after 12 weeks of gestation, 144 women who did not test hemoglobin during gestation, and 25 women whose gestational weeks were incorrect. Finally, data from 11 930 pregnant women were analyzed. From the electronical medical record system of maternal and child health care, we obtained basic information of these pregnant women, their hemoglobin levels and related data during gestation and postpartum. Anemia rate was descripted, and factors associated with anemia were identified using multiple unconditional logistic regression. Results: Age of the 11 930 pregnant women was (27.0±4.5) years old, and the P₅₀ (P₂₅-P₇₅) of BMI at the first trimester was 21.4 (19.6-23.7) kg/m². The anemia rate during gestation was 37.2% (4 434/11 930). The anemia rate was 5.5% (276/5 035), 24.4% (1 802/7 377), and 47.8% (3 328/6 966) at the first, second and third trimesters, respectively. Anemia rate at 42 days postpartum was 19.9% (680/3 418). Multiple unconditional logistic regression indicated that anemia during gestation was related with maternal age <21 years old at prenatal registration (OR (95%CI): 1.28 (1.07-1.53)), body mass index(BMI) <18.5 kg/m² at the first trimester (OR (95%CI): 1.14 (1.00-1.29)), non-local residence (OR (95%CI): 1.35 (1.20-1.52)), education of middle school and lower (OR (95%CI): middle school: 1.24 (1.05-1.47), primary school: 1.36 (1.01-1.82)), occupation of housewife or farmer (OR (95%CI): housewife: 1.21 (1.06-1.38), farmer: 1.21 (1.03-1.44)). Anemia at 42 days postpartum was associated with multipara (OR(95%CI): 1.59 (1.12-2.27)), anemia at the first trimester (OR(95%CI): 3.26 (1.92-5.55)), no folic acid supplementation at the first trimester (OR(95%CI): 1.34 (1.00-1.80)), and hemorrhage≥500 ml during 24 h postpartum (OR(95%CI): 2.26 (1.02-4.97)). Conclusion Anemia rate was low for maternal women in Taicang of Jiangsu Province. The factors associated with gestational anemia included pregnant women's age, BMI, local or non-local residence, occupation, and education. The factors associated with postpartum anemia included multipara, anemia at the first trimester, no folic acid supplementation at the first trimester, and hemorrhage 24 h postpartum.

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) has been widely used in clinical practice and has become the main surgical method for inguinal hernia repair. Although hematoma after LIHR is less common than seroma, it may lead to more serious complications and should be paid enough attention. Currently, the prevention and treatment strategies for hematoma after LIHR are still lacking in sorting and summary. The authors elaborate on the prevention and treatment of hematoma after LIHR, aiming at providing references for clinical surgeons to ensure the life safety of patients and promote rapid recovery after surgery.

ABSTRACT: Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasm with diverse pathological types and complicated clinical manifestations. The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5), published in 2021, introduces major changes that advance the role of molecular diagnostics in meningiomas. To follow the revision of WHO CNS5, this expert consensus statement was formed jointly by the Group of Neuro-Oncology, Society of Neurosurgery, Chinese Medical Association together with neuropathologists and evidence-based experts. The consensus provides reference points to integrate key biomarkers into stratification and clinical decision making for meningioma patients.
