Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of pancreatic cancer surgery with arterial resection.Methods:The clinicopathological and follow-up data of 135 patients undergoing pancreatectomies with arterial resection in Pancreas Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from Sep 2013 to Dec 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 77 males and 58 females, with age [ M( IQR)] of 63 (14) years old. Among the 135 patients, 122 (90.4%) were distal pancreatectomies, 8 (5.9%) were pancreaticoduodenectomies, 4 (3.0%) were total pancreatectomies and 1 (0.7%) was resection for local recurrence after distal pancreatectomy. There were 120 (88.9%) celiac axis resections, 11 (8.1%) hepatic artery resections, 1 (0.7%) superior mesenteric artery resection and 3 (2.2%) other artery resections. Simultaneous portal vein-superior mesenteric vein or organ resection accounted for 26.7% (36/135) and 29.6% (40/135),respectively. The median blood loss was 300 (300) ml and the median operation time was 275 (105) minutes. The 90-day mortality rate was 7.4% (10/135). The overall morbidity rate was 70.4% (95/135) while the major morbidity rate was 18.5% (25/135). Postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 8.9% (12/135), clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula in 57.0% (77/135), bile leak in 0.74% (1/135), delayed gastric emptying in 9.6% (13/135), liver failure in 3.7% (5/135) and transient liver enzyme elevation in 44.4% (60/135). All of the 135 cases were confirmed as pancreatic cancer histologically, including 54.6% (71/130) moderately differentiated, 45.4% (59/130) poorly differentiated and no for well differentiated. The median tumor size was 4.5 (2.3) cm. The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 14 (13) and the percentage of N0, N1 and N2 according to AJCC 8th staging system was 27.1% (36/133), 52.6% (70/133) and 20.3% (27/133), respectively. The R 0 resection was achieved in 40 of 123 cases (32.5%), whose margins of specimens were assessed circumferentially based on the 1mm rule. The median overall survival time (MST) after surgery was 22.5 months, and the median progress-free survival time was 16.1 months. The overall survival rate at 1-, 2- and 5-year was 71.5%, 45.1% and 11.3%, respectively. The MST of patients who received no adjuvant therapy, chemotherapy after surgery was 8.4 months, 25.3 months, respectively. Conclusions:Pancreatectomy with arterial resection is generally safe and feasible. Survival outcome improves significantly when combined with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate renal impairment and ferroptosis due to severe blast injuries and related mechanism.Methods:The goats were placed 3 meters away from the center of an 8 kg TNT-equivalent explosive to carry out blast injury experiments.The physical parameters of blast waves were measured,and the pathological severity of blast injuries was graded and scored to assess the severity of injuries.Vital signs,blood gas parameters,and renal function markers were measured before injury and at 1,3,6,and 24 hours after injury.Renal tissue samples were collected at 24 hours after injury to prepare tissue sections,which were used to perform HE staining and measure the changes in the content of Fe2+and the expression of the ferroptosis-related marker proteins xCT and GPX4 in renal tissue,and Prussian blue staining was performed for renal tissue sections to investigate the mechanism associated with renal impairment and ferroptosis of renal cells.Results:Severe blast injuries accounted for the highest proportion of 47.2%in experi-mental goats,while mild,moderate,severe,and extremely severe injuries accounted for 2.8%,36.1%,47.2%,and 13.9%,respectively,and the pathologic severity score of blast injury was 2.56±0.15.For the goats after blast injury,there were significant increases in heart rate(F=12.750,P<0.01)and respiratory rate(F=6.500,P<0.01)and significant reductions in anal temperature(F=3.496,P<0.05),partial pressure of blood oxygen(F=24.630,P<0.01),and blood oxygen saturation(F=18.560,P<0.01),as well as significant increases in the levels of blood uric acid(F=22.320,P<0.01),serum creatinine(F=15.350,P<0.01),and blood urea nitrogen(F=22.310,P<0.01).Compared with the control group,swelling of renal tubular epithelial cells and narrowing of tubular lumen were observed at 24 hours after blast injury,with a significant increase in the content of Fe2+in renal tissue(t=5.933,P<0.01),significant reductions in the relative expression protein levels of GPX4(t=7.924,P<0.01)and xCT(t=4.483,P<0.01)in renal tissue,and deposi-tion of a large amount of iron ions in renal tubular epithelial cells.Conclusion:Experimental goats placed 3 meters away from the cen-ter of an 8 kg TNT-equivalent explosive can cause severe blast inju-ries,resulting in the onset of hypoxia,renal impairment,and ferrop-tosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous resection for initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 305 patients with initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. These patients were diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2016 to June 2020. Among them, 191 underwent simultaneous rectum and liver resection and 114 underwent staged resection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed at a 1∶1 ratio. Clinical data were compared and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted. Results After PSM, 85 patients were included in each group. General data showed no significant differences. Except for liver metastasis resection method, no statistical differences were found in primary tumor surgery approach, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, time to first flatus and defecation, 30-day mortality, and postoperative hospital stay between the simultaneous resection group and the staged resection group. The overall complication rate was higher in the simultaneous resection group (48.2% vs 29.4%, P＝0.04). Specifically, the grade Ⅱ complications were significantly higher (29.4% vs 14.1%, P＝0.016), but there’s no differences in severe complications (grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ). No statistically differences were observed in median progression-free survival (HR＝0.70, 95%CI 0.50-0.97, P＝0.103) and 5-year overall survival (HR＝0.95, 95%CI 0.63-1.44, P＝0.259). Conclusions Simultaneous resection demonstrates comparable safety and efficacy to staged resection for initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases.

Objective To observe the value of multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)radiomics in predicting the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)in locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma(CSCC)patients.Methods Clinical data of 100 CSCC patients underwent CCRT treatment were selected.In order to better validate the performance of the model,patients were randomly divided into the training set(70 cases)and the validation set(30 cases)in a 7∶3 ratio.According to the efficacy criteria for solid tumors,patients were divided into the complete response(CR)group(n=16)and the partial response(PR)group(n=14).Examination images of cross-sectional DWI,T2WI and enhanced T1WI were collected from all patients before treatment.ITK-SNAP software package combined with three sequences were used to outline ROI,and the open source software PyRadiomics was used to extract image omics features.For MRI omics features,the minimum redundancy maximum correlation(mRMR)algorithm was used to analyze and screen out the first 30 main features,and then the minimum absolute contraction and selection method(Lasso)based on 10-fold cross-validation was used to reduce dimensionality to screen the non-zero coefficient features.According to the weighting coefficient of Lasso-Logistic regression model in the training set,patient omics labels were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a prediction model based on DWI,T2WI and T1WI sequence prediction models and multiple sequenomics labels.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves evaluated the predictive value of each omics model for CCRT treatment in patients with locally advanced CSCC.Results There were 38 cases in the CR group and 32 cases in the PR group in the training set.There were 16 cases in the CR group and 14 cases in the PR group in the validation set.There were no significant differences in patient age,FIGO stage,differentiation degree,maximum lesion diameter and menstrual status between the CR group and the PR group in the training and validation sets.A total of 851 imaging features were extracted from the ROI target area.After the first 30 features were retained by mRMR algorithm,3 CR-related features were selected from the 851 imaging omics features of each individual sequence by Lasso algorithm and 10-fold cross-validation.Eight CR related features were selected from 2 553 features after the combination of the three sequences.ROC curve results showed that in the training set and validation set,the AUC of multiple sequences combined to predict the therapeutic effect of CCRT in patients with locally advanced CSCC was 0.971 and 0.946,respectively,which was higher than that of T1WI,T2WI and DWI single sequence prediction(training set Z=2.683,2.046,2.817,P＜0.05;verification set Z=2.075,2.117,2.005,P＜0.05).Conclusion The multi sequence MRI radiomics model has high predictive value for the efficacy of CCRT treatment in locally advanced CSCC patients.

Objective:To explore the application effects of the blended teaching methodology of "teaching-selection-investigation-analysis-presentation-discussion" in Medical Immunology. Methods:Eight-year program clinical medical students who were enrolled at Peking Union Medical College in 2016, 2017, and 2018 were selected as the research subjects. An anonymous questionnaire survey was used to analyze students' multidimensional evaluations of the new teaching methodology. The percentage of frontier hotspot topics in the "Immunology Forum" was used to analyze the students' mastery of cutting-edge knowledge in immunology. The number of "Immunology Forum" related "College Students Innovative Training Plan Program" from 2020 to 2023 was used to analyze the effectiveness of this new teaching method in cultivating students' scientific research and innovation abilities. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 software, and the normality of all continuous variables was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test.Results:The questionnaire survey showed 100.00% satisfaction with the course and 95.90% recognition of the new teaching method. More than 90% of students agreed that the new teaching method improved their learning ability, research ability, innovation ability, internal drive, and academic communication ability. The average proportion of hotspot topics in the "Immunology Forum" was 90.37%±7.12%, which was significantly higher than the proportion of non-hotspot topics (5.67%±3.12%). The average number of topics related to "Immunology Forum" in the "College Students Innovative Training Plan Program" was 17.67±1.15 per session, which was significantly higher than the number of topics not related to "Immunology Forum" (8.00±1.73).Conclusions:The blended teaching methodology of "teaching-selection-investigation-analysis-presentation-discussion" can help students timely grasp the cutting-edge knowledge of immunology, cultivate their learning ability, internal drive, academic communication ability, innovation ability, and research ability, and lay a foundation for students to further explore their scientific research and innovation activities.

Objective To investigate the effects of the polymer pharmaceutical excipient methoxy poly-ethylene glycol poly-lactic acid(mPEG-PLA)in Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats and Beagle dogs and its toxicological reactions,to provide a reference for its safe clinical use.Methods SD rats and Beagle dogs(male∶female ratios,1∶1)were divided randomly into control group and low,medium,and high dose mPEG-PLA groups(70,210,700 mg/kg).Animals received intravenous mPEG-PLA once a day for 90 days,followed by a 28-day recovery period.Indicators including clinical observations,food intake,body weight,hematology,blood biochemistry,immune function,and pathological examination were recorded.Results Compared with the control group,(1)food intake was decreased(P＜0.01)and body weight was increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)after 90 days of continuous administration,with similar changes in the medium and high dose groups in both rats and dogs.In addition,MONO/MONO％,RBC,MCH,MCHC,HCT,HGB,PLT,TP,ALB,GLB,and Fbg were all decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)and coagulation indexes(e.g.,APTT)were increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Organ weights and the organ-to-body/brain weight ratios of the liver and spleen were increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and histopathology indicated numerous foam-like macrophages in the hepatic sinuses,red spleen pulp,and lymph node medulla.DBIL and TBIL also increased in rats in the high dose group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the dogs experienced skin swelling or scabs,abdominal swelling,vomiting,decreased activity,high albuminuria,and ascites,and the renal glomerular cells showed vacuoles.(2)After 28 days of recovery,rats and dogs in the medium and high dose groups showed a few foam-like macrophages in the hepatic sinuses,red spleen pulp,and lymph node medulla,as well as decreased of food intake in dogs.The MCHC,PLT,and TP decreased in dogs in the high dose group(P＜0.05),and the liver and spleen weights and organ coefficients in rats increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the MONO％decreased in male rats in the medium dose group(P＜0.05).Conclusions Administration of mPEG-PLA 210 and 700 mg/kg for 90 days caused blood mononuclear cells to enter and aggregate in the liver,spleen,lymph nodes,and other tissues in SD rats and Beagle dogs,leading to secondary tissue structural damage.Protein and fibrinogen synthesis and bilirubin metabolism in the liver decreased,leading to abnormal coagulation function,and decreased intravascular colloid osmotic pressure resulted in edema and bleeding.The result suggest that the liver,spleen,kidney,and lymph nodes are target organs for mPEG-PLA toxicity,with dose-dependent and reversible effects and species differences,but no significant sex differences.Clinical monitoring of related organ functions is needed to avoid secondary damage.
