Objective:To establish a nomogram to predict overall survival of patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ gastric cancer (GC) based on preoperative inflammatory markers.Methods:Clinicopathological and follow-up data of 1 035 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ gastric cancer operated at He'nan Cancer Hospital between May 2015 and Oct 2016 were retrospectively collected. A nomogram was established based on prognostic factors. Harrell's concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to verify the performance of the model according to differentiation, calibration and clinical utility.Results:A total of 1 035 patients were enrolled . The median follow-up time was 41.9 months; According to the optimal cutoff value, 170 were with elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and 865 with a reduced ratio; 562 in elevated platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) vs. 473 in the reduced group; fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) elevated in 108 group vs. 972 in the reduced group; 180 in the prognostic nutritional index score (PNI) elevated group and 855 in the reduced group. Two hundred and sixty-seven patients were categorized at stage Ⅰ, 334 at stage Ⅱ ,434 at stage Ⅲ. Multivariate regression analysis showed tumor location, vascular tumor thrombus, pTNM stage, FAR, PNI and NLR were independent prognostic factors (all P<0.05). The C-index of the nomogram was 0.723 (95% CI: 0.710 -0.736) and had better clinical utility than the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th TNM staging system 0.693 (95% CI, 0.681 -0.705). The calibration curve of the nomogram showed that the predicted survival rate was consistent with the actual survival rate in GC patients. Compared to AJCC 8th pTNM staging system, the DCA curve indicate that the nomogram has a higher net income. Conclusion:The nomogram predicting overall survival of patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ gastric cancer is established and verified , which provides better individual prediction than TNM staging system.

Objective:To investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of gastric neuroendocrine cancer.Methods:This study included 102 patients with gastric neuroendocrine cancer, the disease-free survival rate (DFS) and overall survival rate (OS) were compared between two groups according whether they were given neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical resection.Results:Ninteen of the 102 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgery, while the other 83 patients received upfront surgery . The 1-year survival rate of the direct operation group and the NAC group was 83.0% and 51.8%, respectively, and the 3-year survival rate was 63.0% and 33.3%, respectively ( χ2=9.182, P=0.002). The 1-year disease-free survival rate was 80.4% and 38.5%, respectively, and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 59.8% and 25.7%, respectively ( χ2=11.142, P=0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the difference between the two groups was mainly significant between MANEC patients ( χ2=10.742, P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that neoadjuvant therapy was an independent risk factor affecting the overall survival rate (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis shows that only adjuvant chemotherapy is the risk factor affecting disease-free survival ( P<0.05). When the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the direct surgery were matched 1∶1, the OS and DFS of the direct surgery group were better than those of the NAC patients ( χ2=4.014, 3.954; P=0.045, 0.047). Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy failed to improve the prognosis of patients with gastric neuroendocrine cancer/MANEC.

Objective:To study the effects of miR-128-3p on the migration and invasion of the gastric cancer cells.Methods:qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-128-3p in 126 gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues from Jan 2014 to Jan 2016 at He'nan Cancer Hospital. The effect of miR-128-3p on the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cell line was detected.The expression of miR-128-3p related proteins was detected by Western blotting, miRNA on-line target prediction tool for the prediction of miR-128-3p directly regulated downstream target genes.Results:the expression of miR-128-3p in gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in adjacent non-tumor tissues ( P<0.05). The expression of miR-128-3p was correlated with the vascular tumor thrombus, pN staging and pTNM staging, the prognosis of patients with high expression of miR-128-3p was poor (all P<0.05). MiR-128-3p expression was significantly higher in gastric cancer cell lines ( P<0.05). Online target prediction tool and double luciferase reporter gene showed that CLDN18 was a downstream target gene directly regulated by mir-128-3p. Conclusion:The high expression of miR-128-3p is related to the poor prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of combined fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) and CA724 in patients with stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer after radical resection.Methods:A total of 932 patients were enrolled in the study, and the best cut-off values of CEA, FAR, NLR and other variables were obtained through ROC curve analysis. According to the FAR-CA724 score, patients were divided into 3 groups: FAR-CA724=0 (CA724<3.43 ng/ml and FAR<0.083), FAR-CA724=1 (CA724≥3.43 ng/ml and FAR≥0.083) and FAR-CA724=2 (CEA≥3.43 ng/ml and FAR≥0.083).Results:After FAR-CA724 grouping, the patient's age (χ 2=12.02, P=0.002), gender (χ 2=15.91, P<0.001), tumor size (χ 2=18.22, P<0.001), hypertension (χ 2=6.35, P=0.042), tumor location (χ 2=26.09, P<0.001), degree of differentiation (χ 2=12.46, P=0.002) and pTNM staging (χ 2=6.68, P=0.035) are significantly different. Survival analysis showed that there were significant differences in OS between the three groups of patients (FAR-CA724=0, 1, and 2: 88.2%, 64.3% and 37.8%, respectively, P<0.001). By multivariate analysis FAR-CA724 is an independent risk factor affecting OS in patients with stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer after radical surgery. Conclusions:Preoperative FAR-CA724 may be a potential blood marker for predicting the prognosis of GC patients.
