Objective:To investigate the expression of Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 in colorectal cancer and its effect on the biological behavior of colorectal cancer.Method:A total of 70 pairs of colorectal cancer and paired normal tissue specimens were collected from Jun to Dec 2017 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Peking University People's Hospital. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 and analyze its relationship with clinical pathological indicators and prognosis. CCK8, colony formation assay, transwell assay, and wound healing assay were used to evaluate the effects of Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of colon cancer cells.Result:Compared with normal tissues, Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer (Immunohistochemistry score: 3.685±1.257 vs. 2.000±0.851, Z=6.536, P<0.001). The expression level of Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 was significantly correlated with T stage ( χ2=5.67, P=0.017), N stage ( χ2=7.20, P=0.007), and pathology stage ( χ2=4.66, P=0.031). Patients with high expression of Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 had a worse prognosis than those with low expression ( χ2=4.80, P=0.037). Knocking down Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 significantly reduced the proliferation, colony formation, and invasive migration ability of DLD1 cells (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Cullin associated NEDD8 dissociated protein 1 is significantly overexpressed in colorectal cancer and has a promoting effect on the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of different geographical isolates of Gohieria fusca.. Methods G. fusca isolates were sampled from Wuhu (WH), Bengbu (BB) and Bozhou cities (BZ) of Anhui Province and Jiaxing City of Zhejiang Province (JX). Mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes were amplified in WH, BB, BZ and JX isolates of G. fusca using PCR assay. The gene sequences were edited and aligned using the software Chromas 2 and DNASTAR 1.00, and the haplotype, haplotype diversity (Hd) and nucleotide polymorphism (Pi) of each isolate were calculated using the software DnaSP 5.10.00. The genetic differentiation among isolates (F_st) and gene flow value (N_m) were estimated using the software MEGA 10.2, and a phylogenetic tree was built. Tests of neutrality and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were performed using the software Arlequin 3.1 and a haplotype network was built based on the Median-Joining network using the software Network 10.2. Results PCR assay showed that the sizes of the Cytb and ITS genes were 372 bp and 1 301 to 1 320 bp, respectively. All four isolates of G. fusca presented high genetic diversity based on mitochondrial Cytb and ITS genes (Hd = 0.804, Pi = 0.006 91). AMOVA showed genetic differentiation among geographical isolates of G. fusca (F_st = 0.202 40, P < 0.05), and the genetic variation was mainly caused by intra-population variations (79.76%). Gene flow analysis showed a high level of gene flow among G. fusca isolates (N_m > 1). Tests of neutrality based on Cytb gene measured a Tajima’s D value of −1.796 31 (P < 0.05) and a Fu’s FS value of −3.293 98 (P < 0.05) in WH isolate of G. fusca, indicating population expansion in WH isolate of G. fusca. Haplotype network analysis and phylogenetic analysis revealed no remarkable geographical distribution pattern among different geographical isolates of G. fusca. All four isolates of G. fusca presented high genetic diversity (Hd = 0.985, Pi = 0.011 97). AMOVA showed moderate level of genetic differentiation between four isolates (F_st = 0.104 62, P < 0.05). The tests of neutrality based on ITS genes measured a Tajima’s D value of −6.088 20 and a Fu’s FS value of −1.935 99 (both P > 0.05) in the whole isolate of G. fusca, indicating no obviously population expansion. Conclusions The four geographical isolates of G. fusca have high genetic diversity and remarkable genetic differentiation. Since a high level of gene flow is detected among different geographical isolates of G. fusca, no obvious geographical distribution pattern of G. fusca is found.

Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of combining portal vein resection and reconstruction (PVR) with resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC).Methods:A total of 104 patients with PHC who underwent hepatectomies for either biliary resection alone or biliary resection combined with PVR from October 2006 to December 2019 at the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary, Ningbo Medical Center of Lihuili Hospital entered into this study. There were 63 males and 41 females, with the age of (64.4±10.4) years. The control group consisted of 75 patients who underwent biliary resection alone, while the PVR group consisted 29 patients with biliary resection combined with PVR. The patient characteristics and the follow-up outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan Meier method with the log-rank test.Results:Wedge resection of portal vein, side to side anastomosis in 2 cases, segmental resection and end to end anastomosis in 27 cases. The time taken for PVR and portal vein resection were (12.7±2.9)(range 8 to 18)min and (20.7±7.3)(range 8 to 38) mm, respectively. The estimated blood loss for the PVR group was significantly more than the control group [ M( Q1, Q3)] 800.0 (600.0, 1 500.0) ml vs. 600.0(500.0, 1 000.0) ml ( P<0.05). Based on postoperative pathological studies, the proportion of lymph node metastasis was significantly higher in the PVR group than the control group (58.6% vs. 32.0%, P<0.05). Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above complications were 30.7%(23/75) and 34.5%(10/29) in the control and PVR groups, respectively ( P>0.05). The re-operation and postoperative 90 days mortality rates were 9.3%(7/75) and 2.7%(2/75) in the control group, compared with 3.4%(1/29) and 0 in the PVR group, respectively (both P>0.05). The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 81.1%, 44.8% and 36.4% respectively for the control group and 78.1%, 35.9% and 31.4% for the PVR group (χ 2=0.33, P=0.570). Conclusion:When compared to biliary resection alone, biliary resection combined with PVR did not significantly increase postoperative complication and mortality rates, but with comparable long-term survival outcomes. Combined biliary resection with PVR was safe and improved the resection rate in selected patients with locally advanced PHC.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods:The retrospetcive cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 399 patients with AEG who were admitted to Peking University People′s Hospital from January 1998 to December 2015 were collected. There were 318 males and 81 females, aged 66(range, 19-87)years. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological characteristics of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG; (2) follow-up and survival; (3) prognostic factors analysis. Patients were followed up by telephone interview and outpatient examination to detect postoperative survival up to December 2018. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done using the COX proportional hazard model. Results:(1) Clinicopathological characteristics of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. Of 399 patients, 198 cases were Siewert Ⅱ AEG and 201 cases were Siewert Ⅲ AEG. There were 130 cases undergoing transthoracic radical AEG surgery, 172 cases undergoing trans-abdominal proximal gastrectomy and 97 cases undergoing transabdominal total gastrectomy. The age, tumor diameter, cases with surgical method as transthoracic radical AEG surgery, transabdo-minal proximal gastrectomy and transabdominal total gastrectomy, the number of positive lymph nodes, cases in tumor TNM stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ were (65±10)years, (5.1±2.4)cm, 102, 68, 28, 17(range, 12?22), 20, 57, 117, 4 for patients with Siewert Ⅱ AEG, versus (62±12)years, (6.3±3.2)cm, 28, 104, 69,18(range, 14?27), 16, 41, 134, 10 for patients with Siewert Ⅲ AEG, showing significant differ-ences betweeen them ( t=2.83, ?3.82, χ2=66.97, U=17 407.05, 17 532.00, P<0.05). (2) Follow-up and survival. All 399 patients were followed up for 34(range, 2?160)months. The 5-year overall survival rate was 29.3% for patients with Siewert Ⅱ AEG, versus 37.0% for patients with Siewert Ⅲ AEG, showing no significant difference betweeen them ( χ2=1.46, P>0.05). The median survival time and 5-year overall survival rate were 29.0 months [95% confidence interval ( CI) as 23.4?34.6 months] and 22.9% for patients undergoing transthoracic radical AEG surgery, 43.0 months(95% CI as 33.9?52.1 months) and 34.7% for patients undergoing transabdominal proximal gastrectomy, 54.0 months (95% CI as 37.6?70.4 months)and 44.3% for patients undergoing transabdominal total gastrectomy, showing a significant difference in the survival among the 3 groups ( χ2=13.81, P<0.05). Of the 198 Siewert Ⅱ AEG patients, the 5-year overall survival rate was 24.6% for the 96 patients undergoing transabdominal surgery, versus 35.4% for the 102 patients undergoing transthoracic surgery, showing no significant difference in the survival between them ( χ2=3.10, P>0.05). Of the 201 Siewert Ⅲ AEG patients, the 5-year overall survival rate was 40.0% for the 173 patients undergoing transabdominal surgery, versus 16.1% for the 28 patients undergoing transthoracic surgery, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=11.32, P<0.05). (3) Prognostic factors analysis. Results of univariate analysis showed that surgical method, pathological N staging, patholgical M staging were related factors for prognosis of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG ( hazard ratio=0.68, 1.25, 2.18, 95% CI as 0.54?0.86, 1.15?1.36, 1.28?3.73, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that transthoracic approach, pathological stage N2?N3 and pathological stage M1 were independent risk factors for prognosis of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG ( hazard ratio=0.64, 1.25, 2.18, 95% CI as 0.51?0.80, 1.16?1.35, 1.28?3.70, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with Siewert Ⅲ AEG, Siewert Ⅱ AEG has a smaller tumor diameter, less positive lymph nodes, poorer prognosis. Transthoracic approach is preffered for the Siewert Ⅱ AEG. Transthoracic approach, pathological stage N2?N3 and pathological stage M1 are independent risk factors for prognosis of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic value of high-k V X-ray chest photography and chest high-resolution computed tomography( HRCT) in the diagnosis of pulmonary thesaurosis induced by dust of iron and its compounds(hereinafter called the iron pulmonary thesaurosis). METHODS: A total of 80 workers exposed to iron oxide dust in a magnetic material factory were collected as the study subjects by convenience sampling method,and they were examined with high-k V X-ray chest photography and HRCT. Differences between the two methods in the diagnosis of iron pulmonary thesaurosis were compared. RESULTS: Of the 80 workers,only 5 of them(6. 2%) showed no abnormal changes in chest HRCT,others showed varying degrees of diffuse distribution of air-cavity nodules and ground-glass lesions. High-k V X-ray chest photography and chest HRCT diagnosis of iron pulmonary thesaurosis accounted for 8. 8%( 7/80) and 37. 5%(30/80) with extreme mild degree,and 21. 3%(17/80) and 26. 3%(21/80) with mild degree respectively. The diagnostic rates for iron pulmonary thesaurosis were 30. 0%( 24/80) and 63. 8%( 51/80),respectively. There was consistency between the two methods for the diagnosis of iron pneumoconiosis( Kappa = 0. 411,P < 0. 01). The chest HRCT has a higher diagnostic classification and diagnosis rate compared with the high-k V X-ray chest photography( P <0. 01). CONCLUSION:s The chest HRCT has a higher diagnostic grade and higher diagnostic rate for lung siderosis compared with the high-k V X-ray chest photography,which is helpful for the early diagnosis of the disease.
