Metastasis serves as an indicator of malignancy and is a biological characteristic of carcinomas. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis and in the enhancement of tumor cell aggressiveness. Prostaglandin E synthase 3 (p23) is a cochaperone for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). Our previous study showed that p23 is an HSP90-independent transcription factor in cancer-associated inflammation. The effect and mechanism of action of p23 on lung cancer metastasis are tested in this study. By utilizing cell models in vitro and mouse tail vein metastasis models in vivo, the results provide solid evidence that p23 is critical for promoting lung cancer metastases by regulating downstream CXCL1 expression. Rather than acting independently, p23 forms a complex with RNA-binding motif protein 14 (RBM14) to facilitate EMT progression in lung cancer. Therefore, our study provides evidence for the potential role of the RBM14-p23-CXCL1-EMT axis in the metastasis of lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of SKA3 protein in cholangiocarcinoma, and the effect of interfering SKA3 expression in vitro on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of cholangiocarcinoma SSP-25 cells, as well as its possible mechanism.Methods:The clinicopathological data, cancer tissues, and paracancerous tissues from 172 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2015 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of SKA3 protein in cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues. Transfection of SKA3 small interfering RNA (siRNA) into cholangiocarcinoma SSP-25 cells was used as si-SKA3 group, and the untreated SSP-25 cells were used as the control group. Cell immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect the transfection effect; CCK-8 method and cell colony formation experiment were used to observe changes in cell proliferation; cell scratch assay was used to monitor cell invasion; Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway related proteins.Results:Among 172 patients with cholangiocarcinoma, there were 116 males and 56 females; the age of 54 cases was under 60 years, and age of 118 cases was equal to or more than 60 years. The positive rate of SKA3 protein in cholangiocarcinoma tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues [78.49% (135/172) vs. 13.95% (24/172)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 42.78, P < 0.01). The positive rate of SKA3 protein in cancer tissues of cholangiocarcinoma patients with nerve invasion [84.35% (124/147) vs. 44.00% (11/25)] and lymph node metastasis [88.78% (87/98) vs. 64.86% (48/74)] was higher than that of patients without nerve invasion and without lymph node metastasis, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the positive rate of SKA3 protein in cancer tissues of patients stratified by age, gender, tumor diameter, TNM stage, and tumor differentiation (all P > 0.05). The CCK-8 method showed that after 72 h of cultivation, the proliferation ability of SSP-25 cells in the si-SKA3 group (expressed as absorbance value at 450 nm) was lower than that in the control group (0.56±0.05 vs. 0.83±0.06), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.06, P = 0.06). After 2 weeks of cultivation, the colony formation experiment showed that the number of colony formation of SSP-25 cells in the si-SKA3 group was lower than that in the control group. After 24 h of cultivation, the scratch healing rates of SSP-25 cells in the si-SKA3 group and the control group were (31±6) % and (72±5)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.63, P = 0.013).Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT proteins in the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:SKA3 protein is highly expressed in cholangiocarcinoma tissues, and may related to nerve invasion and lymph node metastasis. Interfering SKA3 expression can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma SSP-25 cells, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To design and test a device which is capable of accurately measuring and dynamically adjusting the axial pressure at the fracture end in real-time.Methods Upon completion of the design,the pressure measurement and adjustment device was implemented in a canine tibial fracture external fixation model.A pressure sensor was mounted at the fracture end,and the displayed values of the pressure sensor were used as the standard for comparison.The relationship between the displayed values of the measurement and adjustment device and the pressure sensor under identical conditions was examined.Results The device was utilized in external fixation models of tibial fractures in five beagles.A linear correlation was observed between the displayed values of the device and the pressure sensor at the fracture end.The measurement values from the device could be transformed into fracture end pressure through the application of coefficients,thereby facilitating accurate measurement and dynamic adjustment of the fracture end pressure.Conclusion The pressure measurement and adjustment device at the fracture end is easy to operate,enabling precise measurement and dynamic regulation of the pressure at the fracture end.It is well-suited for animal experiments aimed at investigating the impact of axial compression on fracture healing,demonstrating promising potential for experimental applications.

Radiology(Shinan Branch),the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University treated with flow diverter.According to the type of implanted stents,they were divided into TFD group(32 cases)and SFD group(30 cases),general information about patients was collected,including age,sex,and past history(hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease),hospitalization time,surgical time(anesthesia start to anesthesia awakening time)and aneurysm location(anterior circulation,posterior circulation),type(giant aneurysm:maximum diameter ≥ 25 mm,large aneurysm:maximum diameter 15-＜25 mm,medium aneurysm:maximum diameter 5-＜15 mm,small aneurysm:maximum diameter＜5 mm),aneurysm morphology(saccular aneurysm,simple fusiform aneurysm,dissecting aneurysm),aneurysm maximum diameter,aneurysm neck,parent artery diameter,aneurysm wall enhancement in preoperative high-resolution MRI scan.Different types of flow diverters were selected according to the results of Surpass intracranial aneurysm embolization system pivotal trial to treat large or giant wide neck aneurysms(SCENT)and intracranial aneurysms managed by parent artery reconstruction using Tubridge flow diverter study(IMPACT).If"ejection sign"was found at the aneurysm neck on angiography immediately after the release of flow diverters,appropriate amount of coils were packed.Tamponade until there is no contrast filling in the aneurysm body on cerebral angiography,at which time the operation is terminated.If there is no"ejection sign"immediately after the release of the flow diverter,the procedure is terminated.Angiography was performed immediately after operation to evaluate the parent artery stenosis(patency[stenosis rate ≤50％],stenosis[stenosis rate＞50％]or occlusion[stenosis rate 100％])degree of aneurysm occlusion.O'Kelly-Marotta(OKM)classification was used to evaluate the degree of aneurysm occlusion.Effectiveness evaluation:DS A follow-up was performed≥1 month after operation,and the final angiographic result was taken as the final follow-up result to evaluate the postoperative aneurysm occlusion(OKM grade D:complete aneurysm occlusion,other grades:incomplete aneurysm occlusion),parent artery stenosis or occlusion.Safety evaluation:the clinical efficacy of patients at the last postoperative follow-up was evaluated by modified Rankin scale(mRS)score(mRS score 0-2:good clinical prognosis,mRS score 3-6:poor clinical prognosis),and perioperative(≤2 weeks after surgery)complications(ischemic complications,bleeding complications and other complications)were counted.The clinical effects and complications of the two groups were compared.Results A total of 62 aneurysms in 62 patients were included in the study.All patients were treated with a single flow diversion device.There were 28 males and 34females,aged 32 years to 76 years,with an average of(57±10)years.There were 39 anterior circulation aneurysms and 23 posterior circulation aneurysms.Among 62 patients,43 patients had saccular aneurysm,4 patients had simple fusiform aneurysm and 15 had dissecting aneurysm.Among them,38 saccular aneurysms were located in the anterior circulation and 5 in the posterior circulation;1 simple fusiform aneurysm was located in the anterior circulation and 3 in the posterior circulation;all dissecting aneurysms were located in the posterior circulation.The maximum diameter of the aneurysm ranged from 2.0 mm to 27.0 mm,with a median of 7.0(5.0,12.0)mm,and the aneurysm neck ranged from 2.0 mm to 18.5 mm,with a median of 5.0(4.0,6.7)mm.(1)There were statistically significant differences in aneurysm location and shape distribution between TFD group and SFD group(both P＜0.05),but there were no statistically significant differences in other general data(all P＞0.05).(2)The incidence of perioperative complications was 6.3％(2/32)in TFD group and 10.0％(3/30)in SFD group,and there was no significant difference between two groups(P=0.940).The good clinical outcome rate of both groups were 100.0％at the last follow-up.(3)All patients were followed up with DS A after operation.The follow-up time ranged from 55 d to 1 150 d,with a median follow-up time of 205.0(108.0,360.0)d.There was no significant difference in OKM classification distribution immediately after operation(P=0.607)and complete occlusion rate at the last follow-up(53.1％[17/32]vs.63.3％[19/30],P=0.416)between two groups.At the last follow-up,no parent artery stenosis or occlusion occurred in either group.Conclusions TFD has comparable efficacy and safety as SFD in the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.The results of this study need to be further verified by prospective large sample study.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the duration of preoperative biliary drainage on postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 102 patients with benign and malignant hepatopancreatic ductal periampullary tumors who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and preoperative biliary drainage in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the median duration of preoperative biliary drainage, the patients were divided into short-term drainage group (≤ the median duration of biliary drainage) and long-term drainage group (> the median duration of biliary drainage). The general data, the effect of biliary drainage, inflammation-related indicators and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to screen the risk factors related to the postoperative severe complications.Results:Of the 102 patients, 68 (66.7%) were males and 34 (33.3%) were females, with a median age of 63 years (43-80 years). The median duration of preoperative biliary drainage was 14 d. There were 68 patients in short-term drainage group and 34 patients in long-term drainage group. There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, surgery history of upper abdominal, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 125, alpha-fetoprotein, prothrombin time, pancreaticojejunostomy method, operation time, and pathological type between the two groups (all P > 0.05). However, patients in long-term drainage group had higher conversion rate, more blood loss and longer hospital stay compared with those in short-term drainage group (all P < 0.05). Before biliary drainage, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level in short-term drainage group was higher than that in long-term drainage group ( Z = -2.59, P = 0.009), and there were no statistically significant differences in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TB) and direct bilirubin (DB) levels between the two groups before biliary drainage (all P > 0.05). After biliary drainage, DB in short-term drainage group was higher than that in long-term drainage group ( Z = -3.34, P = 0.001), and there was no statistically significant difference in ALT, AST, ALB, TB levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes and the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes between the two groups on the 1st and 3rd day after the operation (all P > 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative related complications in short-term drainage group and long-term drainage group was 63.2% (43/68), 70.6% (24/34), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.54, P = 0.461); the incidences of bile leakage, abdominal or gastrointestinal bleeding, intra-abdominal infection, delayed gastric emptying, all grades of pancreatic leakage, grade B and C pancreatic leakage were not statistically different between the two groups (all P > 0.05); the incidence of severe postoperative related complications in short-term drainage group was higher than that in long-term drainage group [27.9% (19/68) vs. 8.8% (3/34), χ2 = 4.90, P = 0.027]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the long-term preoperative biliary drainage was an independent protective factor for postoperative severe complications (long-term drainage vs. short-term drainage: OR = 0.253, 95% CI 0.066-0.975, P = 0.046), while BMI ( OR = 1.174, 95% CI 0.986-1.398, P = 0.071) and pathological type (benign or borderline vs. malignant tumor: OR = 0.247, 95% CI 0.043-1.419, P = 0.117) were not independent influencing factors for postoperative severe complications. Conclusions:Short-term biliary drainage (≤14 d) is a risk factor for postoperative severe complications in patients with hepatopancreatic ductal periampullary tumor undergoing preoperative biliary drainage. Preoperative biliary drainage time is not associated with postoperative total complications, pancreatic leakage, bile leakage, abdominal or gastrointestinal bleeding, intra-abdominal infection, delayed gastric emptying.
