BACKGROUND:
The transcription factor POU2F1 regulates the expression levels of microRNAs in neoplasia. However, the miR-29b1/a cluster modulated by POU2F1 in gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown.
METHODS:
Gene expression in GC cells was evaluated using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR), western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and RNA in situ hybridization. Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to evaluate protein interactions. Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to investigate the biological behavior of GC cells. MiR-29b1/a cluster promoter analysis and luciferase activity assay for the 3'-UTR study were performed in GC cells. In vivo tumor metastasis was evaluated in nude mice.
RESULTS:
POU2F1 is overexpressed in GC cell lines and binds to the miR-29b1/a cluster promoter. POU2F1 is upregulated, whereas mature miR-29b-3p and miR-29a-3p are downregulated in GC tissues. POU2F1 promotes GC metastasis by inhibiting miR-29b-3p or miR-29a-3p expression in vitro and in vivo . Furthermore, PIK3R1 and/or PIK3R3 are direct targets of miR-29b-3p and/or miR-29a-3p , and the ectopic expression of PIK3R1 or PIK3R3 reverses the suppressive effect of mature miR-29b-3p and/or miR-29a-3p on GC cell metastasis and invasion. Additionally, the interaction of PIK3R1 with PIK3R3 promotes migration and invasion, and miR-29b-3p , miR-29a-3p , PIK3R1 , and PIK3R3 regulate migration and invasion via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) pathway in GC cells. In addition, POU2F1 , PIK3R1 , and PIK3R3 expression levels negatively correlated with miR-29b-3p and miR-29a-3p expression levels in GC tissue samples.
CONCLUSIONS
The POU2F1 - miR-29b-3p / miR-29a-3p-PIK3R1 / PIK3R1 signaling axis regulates tumor progression and may be a promising therapeutic target for GC.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate short-term effectiveness of using expert adolescent lateral femoral nail (EALFN) in treating femoral shaft fractures in older children and adolescents.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 17 patients with femoral shaft fractures who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted between July 2020 and June 2024. All fractures were fixed with EALFN after reduction. There were 11 males and 6 females, with a mean age of 13.3 years (range, 11-16 years). The average body weight was 51.2 kg (range, 40-84 kg), and the average height was 162.1 cm (range, 150-172 cm). The causes of injury included traffic accidents ( n=9), falling from height ( n=1), and simple falls ( n=7). One patient had an open fracture treated with an external fixator and experienced delayed fracture healing. The remaining patients were closed fractures, with an average time from injury to operation of 5.8 days (range, 2-10 days). Operation time and postoperative hospital stay were documented. During follow-up, X-ray films were taken to observe the fracture healing, and the bilateral femoral length, femoral neck-shaft angle, widest femoral neck diameter (FND), and articular trochanteric distance (ATD) were measured at last follow-up. Hip function was assessed using the Harris score. The differences in the all indicators between the healthy and affected sides were compared.
RESULTS:
The operation time ranged from 65 to 130 minutes (mean, 94.1 minutes). Postoperative hospital stay ranged from 5 to 40 days (mean, 16.7 days). All patients were followed up 7-36 months (mean, 14.4 months). One patient exhibited delayed fracture healing during follow-up. The distal locking nail was removed at 6 months after operation, and partial weight-bearing was initiated following dynamic fracture stabilization. The fracture healing was achieved, and the intramedullary nail was removed at 24 months after operation. The other fractures healed with the healing time of 6-20 months (mean, 9.6 months), and the intramedullary nails were removed. During follow-up, no femoral fracture, abnormal development of the greater trochanter, or ischemic necrosis of the femoral head occurred. At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in femoral length, femoral neck-shaft angle, FND, ATD, or Harris score between the affected and healthy sides ( P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
For older children and adolescents with femoral neck fractures, the application of EALFN fixation aligns more closely with the principles of intramedullary central fixation and rapid rehabilitation. This approach is associated with fewer complications and superior short-term effectiveness.

Objective:To investigate the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors on reducing residual lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:The cohort of this retrospective study comprised patients from Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University who had undergone systemic treatment prior to gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and had achieved Grade 1 primary tumor regression (TRG1) from January 2014 to December 2023. After exclusion of patients who had undergone preoperative radiotherapy, data of 58 patients (Nanfang Hospital: 46; First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University: 12) were analyzed. These patients were allocated to preoperative chemotherapy (Chemotherapy group, N=36 cases) and preoperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy groups (Immunotherapy group, N=22 cases). There were no significant differences between these groups in sex, age, body mass index, diabetes, tumor location, pathological type, Lauren classification, tumor differentiation, pretreatment depth of invasion by primary tumor, pretreatment lymph node stage, pretreatment clinical stage, mismatch repair protein status, number of preoperative treatment cycles, or duration of preoperative treatment (all P>0.05). The primary outcome measure was postoperative lymph node downstaging. Secondary outcomes included postoperative depth of invasion by tumor, number of lymph nodes examined, and factors affecting residual lymph node metastasis status. Results:Lymph node downstaging was achieved significantly more often in the Immunotherapy group than the Chemotherapy group (pN0: 90.9% [20/22] vs. 61.1% [22/36]; pN1: 4.5% [1/22] vs. 36.1% [13/36]; pN2: 4.5% [1/22) vs. 0; pN3: 0 vs. 2.8% [1/36], Z=-2.315, P=0.021). There were no significant difference between the two groups in number of lymph nodes examined (40.5±16.3 vs. 40.8±17.5, t=0.076, P=0.940) or postoperative depth of invasion by primary tumor (pT1a: 50.0% [11/22] vs. 30.6% [11/36]; pT1b: 13.6% [3/22] vs. 19.4% [7/36]; pT2: 13.6% [3/22] vs. 13.9% [5/36]; pT3: 13.6% [3/22] vs. 25.0% [9/36]; pT4a: 9.1% [2/22] vs. 11.1% [4/36], Z=-1.331, P=0.183). Univariate analysis revealed that both preoperative treatment regimens were associated with residual lymph node metastasis status in patients whose primary tumor regression was TRG1 (χ 2=6.070, P=0.014). Multivariate analysis incorporated the following factors: pretreatment depth of invasion by primary tumor, pretreatment lymph node stage, pretreatment clinical stage, number of preoperative treatment cycles, and preoperative treatment duration. We found that a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy administered preoperatively was an independent protective factor for reducing residual lymph node metastases in study patients whose primary tumor regression was TRG1 (OR=0.147, 95%CI: 0.026–0.828, P=0.030). Conclusion:Compared with preoperative chemotherapy alone, a combination of preoperative immunotherapy and chemotherapy achieved greater reduction of residual lymph node metastases in the study patients who achieved TRG1 tumor regression in their primary lesions.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth>3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

In recent years, the incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has increased gradually. Due to the unique anatomical location and the different biological features from esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, AEG cannot be simply equated with esophageal cancer or gastric cancer, and the definition, classification and treatment methods of AEG are still controversial. As a result, the study of AEG is becoming increasingly important. Using bibliometrics, the authors search English literatures from the Web of Science Core Collection database from the establishment to December 31, 2022, with the keyword adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junc-tion. To systematically review the international literatures on AEG, EndNote and Excel are used to manage literatures and perform statistical analysis, and VOSviewer and CiteSpace are used to analyze the social network, time series of countries, institutions, authors and keywords, the co-citation of authors and the citation bursts of keywords. The authors summarize the research status and hot trends in this field, hoping to provide reference for future research.

Objective:To investigate the application value of mixed reality technology in surgical conversation of laparoscopy radical resection of gastric cancer.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. There were 80 family members of patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from June 2021 to December 2022 being selected as subjects. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical resection of gastric cancer. Based on random number table, all subjects were allocated into the control group and the experiment group. Subjects in the control group performed routine surgical conversation and subjects in the experiment group performed surgical conversation based on mixed reality technology. Observation indicators: (1) baseline data of the subjects; (2) anxiety assessment of the subjects. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison. Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results:(1) Baseline data of the subjects. A total of 80 subjects were selected for eligibility, including 40 subjects in the control group and 40 subjects in the experi-ment group. There were 44 males and 36 females, aged (40±9)years. The gender (male, female), age, education background (primary school education, middle school education, high school education, junior college education, undergraduate education, postgraduate education) were 23, 17, (39±9)years, 1, 3, 9, 16, 9, 2 in subjects of the control group, versus 25, 15, (42±10)years, 0, 8, 6, 11, 14, 1 in subjects of the experiment group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=0.20, t=?1.64, Z=?0.10, P>0.05). (2) Anxiety assessment of the subjects. The scores of self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Hospital Anxiety Scale (HADS) before surgical conversation, after surgical conversation, after surgery were 41±10 and 26±5, 49±11 and 32±3, 40±13 and 15±8 in subjects of the control group, versus 44±9 and 23±3, 66±16 and 28±6, 34±14 and 8±3 in subjects of the experiment group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( FSAS组间=8.83, FSAS时间=40.41, FSAS交互=12.21, FHADS组间=32.42, FHADS时间=321.28, FHADS交互=6.15, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional surgical conversation, mixed reality technology based surgical conversation can relieve the postoperative conxiety of subjects.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors affecting the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patients with progressive gastric cancer.Methods:Clinicopathological data of patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma and treated with radical surgery at our hospital between January 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively collected, and 96 patients were finally included in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Patients were divided into a completed chemotherapy group and an uncompleted chemotherapy group depending on whether they had completed 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.The optimal cut-off value was derived from the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, and the Youden Index was calculated.Relevant factors that might affect the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patients with progressive gastric cancer were included in univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses to identify independent risk factors affecting the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients.The Kaplan-Meier(K-M)method was used to plot the survival curves for the groups, and the log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates between the groups.Results:A total of 96 patients, aged 60-89 years, with a mean age of(70.3±7.0)years, were included.Sixteen patients completed postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, while 80 patients did not.The following analysis was performed on clinicopathological data of patients in the two groups.Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patient age ≥70 years( OR=8.135, 95% CI: 1.735-38.153, P=0.008)or a preoperative prognostic nutritional index(PNI)score <49.5( OR=4.765, 95% CI: 1.549-14.656, P=0.006)affected the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.The risk factors that might affect the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly gastric cancer patients were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression and the results showed that age ≥70 years( OR=9.815, 95% CI: 1.947-49.485, P=0.006)and a preoperative PNI score <49.5( OR=5.895, 95% CI: 1.711-20.305, P=0.005)were independent risk factors hindering the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions:Age ≥70 years and PNI<49.5 are independent risk factors for the completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.Failure to complete postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a poor prognosis.PNI is a valid predictor for whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy will be completed and helps to screen chemotherapy patients who need nutritional intervention.

Objective:To investigate the application value of Overlap guiding tube (OGT) in Overlap esophagojejunostomy of laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 5 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from June to July in 2021 were collected. There were 3 males and 2 females, aged from 48 to 61 years, with a median age of 54 years. Patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with OGT-assisted Overlap esophagojejunostomy. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect postoperative anastomotic stenosis and esophageal reflux up to September 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR) or M(range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: 5 patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with OGT-assisted Overlap esophagojejunostomy and D 2 lymph node dissection success-fully, achieving R 0 resection. There was no combined organ resection, intraoperative conversion to laparotomy or combined thoracotomy. There was no intraoperative conversion to other esophagoje-junostomy method either. The tumor diameter, length of surgical incision, the number of lymph nodes dissected, time of esophagojejunal anastomosis, time of digestive reconstruction, operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss of 5 patients were 3.0(2.8)cm, 5.0(2.0)cm, 47.0(21.0), 21.0(5.0)minutes, 62.0(23.0)minutes, 295.0(75.0)minutes, and 50.0(60.0)mL, respectively. The anvil fork of linear stapler was successfully inserted into esophageal lumen by once operation in 4 cases of 5 patients and by twice operation in 1 case to complete the esophagojejunostomy. (2) Post-operative situations: the time to first out-of-bed activities, time to postoperative first anal flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid diet intake, time to postoperative initial semi-liquid diet intake, time to abdominal drainage tube removal, duration of postoperative hospital stay of 5 patients were 2.0(1.0)days, 3.0(2.0)days, 4.0(3.0)days, 6.0(3.0)days, 7.0(4.0)days, and 9.0(6.0)days, respectively. Results of postoperative pathological examination of 5 patients showed gastric adenocar-cinoma in all the 5 patients, with the TNM staging as stage pT2-4aN0M0. The esophageal surgical margin was negative in all cases, and the length of proximal margin from esophagus was 5.0(4.0)cm. None of the 5 patients developed anastomotic leakage, anastomotic bleeding or anastomotic stenosis. Two cases with mild pneumonia (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ) were cured by conservative treatment such as anti-infection and expectoration promotion. There was no unplanned secondary surgery or perioperative death occurred to the 5 patients. (3) Follow-up: 5 patients were followed up for 3 months. None of the 5 patients developed anastomotic stenosis or esophageal reflux during the follow-up. Conclusion:OGT-assisted Overlap esophagojejunostomy of laparoscopic total gas-trectomy is safe and feasible, with good short-term effects.
