Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a common manifestation of advanced malignant tumors. Its complex pathological features and unique immunosuppressive microenvironment limit the effectiveness of traditional treatment. At present, immunotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis shows certain potential, but still faces many challenges. Future research should focus on the development of new immunotherapy targets, the combination of local and systemic drug delivery approaches, the characterization of the tumor microenvironment using single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptome technologies, and the screening of appropriate populations using artificial intelligence, which is expected to effectively improve patient survival.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)FUT8-AS1 on diabetic ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating growth differentiation factor 15(GDF15).Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into Sham group,cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(MCAO/R)group,diabetic cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(DM-MCAO/R)group,DM-MCAO/R+sh NC group,and DM-MCAO/R+sh FUT8-AS1 group.TTC staining was used to assess the size of cerebral infarction.Tunel staining was selected to evaluate the apoptosis of neurons in brain tissue.Nissl staining was used to assess the number of neurons in brain tissue.The expression of LncRNA FUT8-AS1,GDF15 mRNA in Willis arterial loop and internal carotid artery tissues were detected by qRT-PCR.The expression of α-SMA,eNOS,p-eNOS,GDF15 protein in Willis arterial loop and internal carotid artery was detected by Western blot.The rat brain microvascular endothelial cells were divided into control(Con)group,OGD/R group,HG-OGD/R group,HG-OGD/R+sh NC group,HG-OGD/R+sh FUT8-AS1 group,HG-OGD/R+sh FUT8-AS1+oe NC group,and HG-OGD/R+sh FUT8-AS1+oe GDF15 group.MTT assay was used to detect cell viability.Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay was used to detect cell damage.The expression ofα-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS),p-eNOS protein was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the Sham group,the percentage of cerebral infarction,the number of Tunel-positive cells,the FUT8-AS1 and mRNA expression of GDF15 and the expression of GDF-15 protein increased(P<0.05),and the expression of α-SMA,eNOS,p-eNOS proteins decreased in the MCAO/R group(P<0.05),and the number of neurons in the hippocampus decreased,the morphology was shrunk,and the color was dark in the MCAO/R group.Compared with the MCAO/R group,the percentage of cerebral infarction,the number of Tunel-positive cells,the FUT8-AS1 and mRNA expression of GDF15 and the expression of GDF-15 protein increased(P<0.05),and the expression of α-SMA,eNOS,p-eNOS proteins decreased in the DM-MCAO/R group(P<0.05),and the number of neurons in the hippocampus decreased in the DM-MCAO/R group.Compared with the DM-MCAO/R+sh NC group,the percentage of cerebral infarction,the number of Tunel-positive cells,the FUT8-AS1 and mRNA expression of GDF15 and the expression of GDF-15 protein decreased(P<0.05),and the expression of α-SMA,eNOS,p-eNOS proteins increased in the DM-MCAO/R+sh FUT8-AS1 group(P<0.05),and the number of neurons in the hippocampus increased in the DM-MCAO/R+sh FUT8-AS1 group.Compared with the Con group,the LDH release,FUT8-AS1 expression,GDF15 mRNA and protein expression increased(P<0.05),and the cell activity,α-SMA,eNOS,and p-eNOS protein expressions decreased in the OGD/R group(P<0.05).Compared with the OGD/R group,the LDH release,FUT8-AS1 expression,GDF15 mRNA and protein expression increased(P<0.05),and the cell activity,α-SMA,eNOS,and p-eNOS protein expressions decreased in the HG-OGD/R group(P<0.05).Compared with the HG-OGD/R+sh NC group,the LDH release,FUT8-AS1 expression,GDF15 mRNA and protein expression decreased(P<0.05),and the cell activity,α-SMA,eNOS,and p-eNOS protein expressions increased in the HG-OGD/R+sh FUT8-AS1 group(P<0.05).Compared with the HG-OGD/R+sh NC group,the LDH release,GDF15 mRNA and protein expression increased(P<0.05),and the cell activity decreased in the HG-OGD/R+oe GDF15 group(P<0.05).Compared with the HG-OGD/R+sh FUT8-AS1+oe NC group,the expression of α-SMA,eNOS,p-eNOS proteins decreased in the HG-OGD/R+sh FUT8-AS1+oe GDF15 group(P<0.05).Conclusions LncRNA FUT8-AS1 may exacerbate diabetic cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating GDF15.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical results of absorbable antibacterial calcium sulfate combined with tissue flaps in the treatment of traumatic calcaneal osteomyelitis (CO) secondary to skin and soft tissue defects in children.Methods:From January 2007 to August 2020, 44 cases of children with heel skin and soft tissue defects associated with traumatic CO were treated and followed up effectively in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University.Among them, 17 cases were treated with absorbable calcium sulfate cement combined with tissue flaps as the calcium sulfate group, and 27 cases were treated with antibiotic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bead combined with tissue flaps as the membrane induction group.A comparison was drawn on the therapeutic effect, recurrence rate of postoperative infection, postoperative ankle mobility, number of operations, total length of hospital stays and hospitalization expenses between both groups.Results:The average follow-up time was 10.7 months in the calcium sulfate cement group and 9.3 months in the membrane induction group.All flaps were effective except for 3 cases who presented with small necrosis on the distal end of the sural neurovascular flaps.The recurrence rate of postoperative infection and the hospitalization expenses in the calcium sulfate group were lower than those in the membrane induction group, but the differences were not statically significant (all P>0.05). The postoperative ankle mobility [(63.6±9.3)°], number of operations [2(1.0, 2.0) times] and total length of hospital stay [6.1(4.5, 7.4) weeks] of the calcium sulfate group were significantly lower than those of the membrane induction group [(57.7±9.5)°, 2(2.0, 3.0) times, 7.0(5.0, 9.0) weeks], the difference were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Severe CO may cause structural damage to calcaneal tubercle or insertion site of achilles tendon, but the active plantar flexion function of ankles will be good despite the decrease in strength. Conclusions:The effect of absorbable antibacterial calcium sulfate cement combined with tissue flaps in the treatment of traumatic CO in children is favorable, and the number of operations, length of hospital stays and hospitalization expenses are relatively less compared with PMMA cement combined with tissue flaps.
