Objective:To explore the prognostic differences and influencing factors between pancreatic cancer originated from intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN)-termed IC-Ds-and pancreatic cancer concomitant with IPMN (C-PDACs).Methods:Clinical data of 382 patients with pathologically confirmed IPMN who underwent surgical resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2016 to January 2022 were collected. According to pathological diagnosis, patients were divided into the IC-Ds group ( n=288) and the C-PDACs group ( n=94). The IC-Ds group was further divided into the colloid carcinoma subgroup and the ductal adenocarcinoma subgroup based on pathological typing. Data including age, gender, preoperative CA19-9 level, surgical margin status, lymph node metastasis, pathological grade, T stage, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and survival follow-up were recorded. The median follow-up time was 35.00 months for IC-Ds patients and 29.00 months for C-PDACs patients. Clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors were compared between the IC-Ds and C-PDACs groups, as well as between the colloid carcinoma and ductal adenocarcinoma subgroups. Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival were generated. Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, R1 resection margin between the IC-Ds group and the C-PDACs group. However, in the C-PDACs group, 70 cases (74.47%) had elevated preoperative CA19-9, 40 cases (42.55%) had lymph node metastasis, 25 cases (26.60%) were pathologically confirmed as poorly differentiated carcinoma after surgery, and 54 cases (57.45%) received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy; the proportions of all these indicators were higher than those in the IC-Ds group (90/288, 31.25%; 72/288, 25.00%; 32/288, 11.11%; 105/288, 36.46%). In contrast, the proportion of T1 stage in the IC-Ds group was higher (40.97% vs 20.21%), and all these differences were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Among the 288 patients in the IC-Ds group, 97 cases (33.68%) were colloid carcinoma and 191 cases (66.32%) were ductal adenocarcinoma. There were no significant differences in age, gender, R1 resection margin, proportion of poorly differentiated carcinoma between the two subgroups. However, in the ductal adenocarcinoma subgroup, 67 cases (35.08%) had elevated preoperative CA19-9, 56 cases (29.32%) had lymph node metastasis confirmed by postoperative pathology, and 80 cases (41.88%) received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy; all these proportions were significantly higher than those in the colloid carcinoma subgroup (23/97, 23.71%; 16/97, 17.02%; 25/97, 26.60%). In addition, the ductal adenocarcinoma subgroup had higher proportions of T2 and T3/T4 stages, while the proportion of T1 stage in the colloid carcinoma subgroup (60/97, 61.86%) was significantly higher than that in the ductal adenocarcinoma subgroup (58/191, 30.37%), with all differences being statistically significant (all P value <0.05). The median survival time was 47.00 months (95% CI 42.91-51.09) in the IC-Ds group and 34.00 months (95% CI 29.67-38.33) in the C-PDACs group. For the IC-Ds subgroups, the median survival time was 59.00 months (95% CI 50.79-67.21) in the colloid carcinoma subgroup and 42.00 months (95% CI 35.15-48.85) in the ductal adenocarcinoma subgroup. Significant differences in median survival time were observed between the IC-Ds and C-PDACs groups, between the colloid carcinoma and ductal adenocarcinoma subgroups, and between the ductal adenocarcinoma subgroup and the C-PDACs group (all P value <0.01). Conclusions:IC-Ds has a better prognosis than C-PDACs, and there is significant heterogeneity within IC-Ds, indicating different biological behaviors between the two types, which requires the development of targeted diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between vascular hyperintensity of magnetic resonance fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence(FVH) and related parameters of magnetic resonance perfusion weighted imaging (MR-PWI) in patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis cerebral infarction, and to explore the hemodynamic factors related to FVH and the effect of FVH on the short-term clinical prognosis of patients.Methods:A total of 116 patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis cerebral infarction in the Department of Neurology, Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected.According to the diagnostic criteria of FVH, they were divided into FVH (+ ) group (78 cases) and FVH(-) group (38 cases). All patients underwent magnetic resonance(MR) and MR-PWI scans.Demographic and cerebrovascular risk factors were collected, clinical neurological function of patients was assessed by national institate of health stroke scale(NIHSS) upon admission and discharge, and cognitive function of patients was assessed by mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Short-term clinical outcome was assessed using modified Rankin scale(mRS) at the 90th day after discharge.The degree of middle cerebral artery stenosis, positive or negative FVH, FVH score, hypoperfusion volume and MR-PWI related parameters, including peak time (Tmax), mean transit time (MTT), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF), were evaluated in relation to clinical symptoms.SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for t test, Chi-square test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:There were significant differences in hypoperfusion volume, Tmax, MTT and CBF between FVH (+ ) group and FVH(-) group( t=1.989, 3.830, 5.223, 3.911, all P<0.05). In terms of short-term clinical outcome, the improvement rate of neurological function ((8.25±6.39)%, (12.22±6.08)%) and MMSE score(25.48±1.59), (26.31±1.26) in FVH (+ ) group were significantly lower than those in FVH(-) group, and the number of patients with progressive stroke during hospitalization in FVH(+ ) group was more than that of FVH(-) group(22(28.21%), 4(10.53%)) (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that FVH score was positively correlated with hypoperfusion volume ( r=0.786, P<0.01) and MTT ( r=0.692, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with CBF ( r=-0.568, P<0.01), but no significant correlation with the degree of arterial stenosis ( r=0.363, P>0.05). Conclusion:FVH is closely related to the Tmax, MTT and CBF values shown in MR-PWI, and the incidence of stroke in progression and short-term adverse prognosis are more likely in FVH(+ ) group, suggesting that FVH can be used as a convenient imaging indicator to reflect the hypoperfusion status of patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis cerebral infarction, and can provide an objective basis for further individualized treatment.

BACKGROUND:As the incidence of spinal cord injury increases with the years and axon regeneration after spinal cord injury was very difficult.How to promote the recovery from spinal cord injury and improve the transplantation efficiency of stem cells and other therapeutic cells after spinal cord injury has been the focus of clinical and scientific research. OBJECTIVE:To establish the efficient transplantation and replacement of mouse spinal cord microglia in the spinal cord injury model. METHODS:CX3CR1 creER-/+::LSL-BDNF-/+-tdTomato mice,CX3CR1+/GFP mice,β-actin GFP mice and C57 BL/6J wild-type mice at 8-10 weeks of age were selected.According to the requirements of the experiment,they were randomly divided into six groups.(1)Sham operation group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used when only the lamina was removed without injury.(2)Spinal cord contusion injury group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used.(3)Spinal cord crush injury group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used.(4)Conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group:β-actin GFP mice with green fluorescent blood were surgically stitched together with C57 BL/6J wild-type mice,using eight β-actin GFP mice and eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice.(5)Mr BMT-X Ray group(using PLX5622 to eliminate the spinal microglia and bone marrow transplantation with X-ray radiation):Bone marrow cells from four CX3CR1 creER-/+::LSL-BDNF-/+-tdTomato mice were extracted and transplanted into eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice for spinal cord injury modeling.(6)Mr BMT-Busulfan group(using PLX5622 to eliminate the spinal microglia and bone marrow transplantation with Busulfan):Bone marrow cells from four CX3CR1+/GFP mice were transplanted into eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice.The percentage of cell transplantation replacement in this group was observed,and the spinal cord injury model was not established in this group.The sham operation group,spinal cord contusion injury group and spinal cord crush injury group were sampled by perfusion on day 14 after spinal cord injury.The conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group was sampled by perfusion on day 7 after spinal cord injury.Mr BMT-X Ray group was sampled by perfusion on day 28 after spinal cord injury.Mr BMT-Busulfan group was sampled by perfusion on day 28 after transplantation.The sampling site was a 1.2 cm long spinal cord with the T10 segment as the center.In the Mr BMT-X Ray group and Mr BMT-Busulfan group,additional mouse brain tissue was retained to see if it would lead to brain transplantation and replacement.The number and proportion of transplanted and replaced cells in the damaged area were measured using transgenic mice,symbiosis and immunofluorescence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the traditional peripheral blood transplantation(9.8%)of mice in the conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group,the new transplantation methods,Mr BMT-X Ray and Mr BMT-Busulfan,could greatly improve the proportion of spinal microglia transplantation and replacement,which could reach 84.8%and 95.6%,respectively.The difference was significant(P<0.05).The results showed that Mr BMT-X Ray and Mr BMT-Busulfan could achieve efficient replacement of spinal microglia cells,and could improve the problems of low cell transplantation efficiency,few survival numbers and unclear differentiation of the traditional cell transplantation methods.In addition,Mr BMT-X Ray can only replace the microglia in the spinal cord,while Mr BMT-Busulfan could avoid brain inflammation and injury caused by X-ray radiation transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of the outcome after endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with large vessel occlusive stroke in anterior circulation.Methods:Patients with large vessel occlusive stroke in anterior circulation received EVT at the Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University and the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2022 to December 2023 were included retrospectively. The modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome evaluation at 90 days after onset, ≤2 points were defined as good outcome and >2 points were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent influencing factors for poor outcome after EVT. Results:A total of 156 patients with large vessel occlusive stroke in anterior circulation received EVT were enrolled from two stroke centers, including 81 males (51.9%), aged 73.32±9.68 years. Sixty-nine patients (44.2%) had good outcome, 87 (55.8%) had poor outcome. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the onset-to-door time, door-to-puncture time, puncture-to-reperfusion time, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), core infarct volume, ischemic penumbra volume, modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI), postprocedural intracranial hemorrhage, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio [ OR] 1.107, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.010-1.213; P=0.029), door-to-puncture time ( OR 1.014, 95% CI 1.000-1.028; P=0.048), onset-to-door time ( OR 1.006, 95% CI 1.003-1.009; P<0.001), the core infarct volume ( OR 1.043, 95% CI 1.004-1.084; P=0.029), and mTICI <2b ( OR 10.117, 95% CI 1.896-53.983; P=0.007) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome, while baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.976, 95% CI 0.961-0.991; P=0.002) and ischemic penumbra volume ( OR 0.359, 95% CI 0.203-0.634; P<0.001) were the independent protective factors for good outcome. Conclusion:For patients with large vessel occlusive stroke in anterior circulation, higher baseline NIHSS score, longer onset-to-door time and door-to-puncture time, larger core infarct volume, and mTICI <2b are associated with the poor outcome after EVT, while higher baseline ASPECTS and larger ischemic penumbra volume are associated with the good outcome.

BACKGROUND: Family clustering of esophageal cancer (EC) has been found in high-risk areas of China. However, the relationships between cancer family history and esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions (ECPL) have not been comprehensively reported in recent years. This study aimed to provide evidence for identification of high-risk populations. METHODS: This study was conducted in five high-risk areas in China from 2017 to 2019, based on the National Cohort of Esophageal Cancer. The permanent residents aged 40 to 69 years were examined by endoscopy, and pathological examination was performed for suspicious lesions. Information on demographic characteristics, environmental factors, and cancer family history was collected. Unconditional logistic regression was applied to evaluate odds ratios between family history related factors and ECPL. RESULTS: Among 33,008 participants, 6143 (18.61%) reported positive family history of EC. The proportion of positive family history varied significantly among high-risk areas. After adjusting for risk factors, participants with a family history of positive cancer, gastric and esophageal cancer or EC had 1.49-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36-1.62), 1.52-fold (95% CI: 1.38-1.67), or 1.66-fold (95% CI: 1.50-1.84) higher risks of ECPL, respectively. Participants with single or multiple first-degree relatives (FDR) of positive EC history had 1.65-fold (95% CI: 1.47-1.84) or 1.93-fold (95% CI: 1.46-2.54) higher risks of ECPL. Participants with FDRs who developed EC before 35, 45, and 50 years of age had 4.05-fold (95% CI: 1.30-12.65), 2.11-fold (95% CI: 1.37-3.25), and 1.91-fold (95% CI: 1.44-2.54) higher risks of ECPL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Participants with positive family history of EC had significantly higher risk of ECPL. This risk increased with the number of EC positive FDRs and EC family history of early onset. Distinctive genetic risk factors of the population in high-risk areas of China require further investigation. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR-EOC-17010553.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the prophylactic use of antibiotics in perioperative period in our hospital. METHODS:The prophylactic use of antibiotics in 841 patients in our hospital in the first 3 months was analyzed statistically. RESULTS:841 patients have used antibiotics,and 74.04% of those patients with typeⅠ incision operation used antibiotics for 3 to 7 days. Cephalosporins and Fluoroquinolones were predominantly used for prophylactic purpose. Irrational use of antibiotics was seen in 714 cases. CONCLUSION:The prophylactic use of antibiotics in our hospital is far from rational,thus it is necessary to put "Guideline on Clinical Use of Antimicrobials" into practice.
