Objective:To assess the impact of preoperative Naples prognostic score on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatic resection.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 323 patients with HCC who underwent radical hepatectomy in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017, including 281 males and 42 females, aged (56.6±11.3) years. All patients were divided into three groups according to their preoperative Naples prognostic scores: group A (0) ( n=37), group B (1-2) ( n=193), group C (3-4) ( n=93). Survival was analysed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival were compared by the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to analyse the effect of Naples prognostic score on prognosis. Results:The 1-, 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates of HCC patients after hepatectomy were 91.9%, 78.4% and 68.3% in the A group, 89.1%, 76.1% and 64.4% in the B group, and 84.9%, 63.3% and 43.5% in the C group, respectively, and the cumulative survival rates showed a decreasing trend among the three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The recurrence-free survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years after hepatectomy were 93.4%, 63.3% and 44.3% in the A group, 77.7%, 46.5% and 35.6% in the B group, and 64.1%, 41.1% and 28.2% in the C group, respectively, and the recurrence-free survival rates showed a decreasing trend among the three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). On Cox multivariate analysis, patients with HCC of 3-4 had a higher risk of death after hepatic resection than those patients of 0 ( HR=2.011, 95% CI: 1.048-3.859, P=0.036), and the risk of postoperative recurrence was also higher than those patients of 0 ( HR=1.820, 95% CI: 1.081-3.066, P=0.024). Conclusion:Preoperative Naples prognostic score performs as a prognostic influence factor on survival and recurrence-free survival after hepatectomy in patients with HCC.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of luteolin in the treatment of cervical cancer based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. Methods The drug-like properties of luteolin were analyzed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). The targets of luteolin were obtained from PharmMapper, Super-PRED, and Swiss Target Prediction databases. The targets related to cervical cancer were acquired from GeneCards, OMIM, and PharmGKB databases. The intersection targets of luteolin and cervical cancer were obtained through EVenn, and the "luteolin-intersection targets-cervical cancer" network diagram was constructed by Cytoscape 3.8.1. The STRING database was used to analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of intersection targets and screen the core targets. The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (David) was used to conduct Gene Ontology (GO) gene function analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway enrichment analysis of the targets. PyMoL 2.6.0, AutoDockTool 1.5.7 and OpenBabel 2.4.1 software were used to perform molecular docking between the core targets and luteolin. The survival analysis and pan-cancer analysis of the core targets were performed in the GEPIA database. Results A total of 449 targets of luteolin and 1 334 targets related to cervical cancer were obtained; there were 100 intersection targets between luteolin and cervical cancer, of which 24 were core targets, including MMP2, HRAS, MAPK1, AKT1, RHOA and PGR. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that the intersection targets participated in 455 biological processes, 70 cellular components, 119 molecular functions, and 143 KEGG signaling pathways. Molecular docking revealed a good binding of MMP2 with luteolin. The survival curves of cervical cancer patients showed that the risk ratios of RHOA, MAPK1, MMP2 and AKT1 genes were greater than 1, while those of HRAS and PGR were less than 1. Pan-cancer analysis showed that HRAS and MAPK1 were highly expressed in cervical cancer, and HRAS had significant expression differences. Conclusion Luteolin treats cervical cancer through a multi-target and multi-pathway mechanism.

Objective:To explore the application value of the new gastric cancer screening scoring system for risk populations in the island of Fujian province.Methods:From April to June 2019, gastric cancer screening was performed on the population of Nanri Island, Putian City, Fujian Province, and epidemiological data of all subjects were prospectively collected. Participants underwent gastroscopy based on gastric cancer risk stratification of the new scoring system. Suspected positive cases further received magnifying endoscopy and biopsy. Additional endoscopic procedures and other surgical treatments were conducted. The detection rates of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in each group of gastric cancer risk stratification were compared, and the Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 1 423 subjects were included, and 19 cases (1.34%) of gastric cancer were detected. The detection rates of gastric cancer were 0.88% (9/1 025) in the low-risk group, 1.76% (6/341) in the medium-risk group, and 7.02% (4/57) in the high-risk group. Paired comparison between the low-risk group and the high-risk group showed significant difference ( χ2=12.364, P=0.003). There was no significant difference between the low-risk group and medium-risk group, or between the medium-risk group and high-risk group ( P>0.05). Among all participants, 87 (6.11%) cases of gastric precancerous lesions were identified. The detection rates of precancerous lesions in the low-risk, medium-risk, and high-risk groups were 6.24% (64/1 025), 5.87% (20/341), and 5.26% (3/57) respectively, with no significant difference among the three groups ( P>0.05) .Conclusion:During gastric cancer screening, the novel gastric cancer screening scoring system helps to stratify gastric cancer risk for population in the islands of Fujian province, serving as a foundation for subsequent detailed endoscopy.

The volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, duration of post-operative hospital stay, cases with postoperative complications were 208(192, 231)mL, (3.4±0.9)days, (11.4±3.2)days, 26 in patients with sarcopenia, respectively, versus 195(150,215)mL, (2.8±0.7)days, (9.9±1.6)days, 14 in patients with non sarcopenia, showing significant differences in the above indi-cators between them ( Z=-2.14, t=3.25, 3.38, χ2=18.69, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of serious postoperative complications in patients with AEG. Results of multivariate analysis showed that sarcopenia and BMI reduction were independent risk factors influencing serious postoperative complications in patients with AEG ( odds ratio=2.04, 1.98, 95% confidence interval as 1.24-3.36, 1.09-3.60, P<0.05). (4) Pre-operative and postoperative quality of life score in patients with sarcopenia and non sarcopenia. Results of multivariate test in physical function, role function, social function, overall score of patients with sarcopenia and non sarcopenia before surgery, 2 weeks after surgery, 4 weeks after surgery, and 8 weeks after surgery showed that there were significant differences in the temporal effect, intergroup effect and interaction effect of the above indicators between patients with sarcopenia and non sarcopenia ( P<0.05). Results of individual effects showed that there were significant differences in the intergroup effect of the above indicators between patients with sarcopenia and non sarcopenia ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Preoperative sarcopenia increases the risk of severe postoperative complications and reduces the postoperative quality of life in patients with AEG.

Objective:To explore the effect of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) on frailty among community-dwelling elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods:From March to July 2021, a total of 252 elderly patients with MCI in Hefei community were selected.The data of basic information and PIM of subjects were collected.All subjects were assessed by the comprehensive frailty assessment instrument (CFAI), Montreal cognitive assessment scale-basic (MoCA-B), and the Barthel index (BI). The subjects were divided into PIM group ( n=136) and non-PIM group ( n=94) according to whether there was PIM.Taking the confounding factors as the matching condition, the subjects of the two groups were matched with 1∶1 propensity score.After matching, there were 52 in the PIM group and 52 in the non-PIM group.SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the effect of PIM on frailty of subjects. Results:(1)Before matching, the incidence of frailty in PIM group and non-PIM group were 80.9% and 19.1%, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis revealed that PIM was a risk factor for the frailty ( β=1.704, OR=5.495, 95% CI=2.539-11.892). (2)After matching, the confounders of age, hearing status, chewing function, activities of daily living, Charlson comorbidity index, handgrip strength, and cognitive function were balanced and comparable between the two groups.The incidence of frailty in PIM group and non-PIM group were 67.9% and 32.1%, respectively.The differences remained statistically significant ( P<0.01). PIM remained a risk factor for frailty ( β=1.791, OR=5.998, 95% CI=2.393-15.032). Conclusion:PIM is a risk factor for the occurrence of frailty in elderly patients with MCI.Therefore, the accurate screening and standardized management of PIM will provide a new target for the frailty management of elderly patients with MCI.

Objective To investigate the effect of low-dose arsenious acid solution (As(III)) combined with total particulate matter (TPM) from cigarette smoke on cellular oxidative stress in human lung cancer cell line A549 cells. Methods A549 cells were divided into four groups: negative control group (0.75% DMSO), low dose As(III) group (0.88% μg/mL, 75% DMSO), cigarette smoke TPM group (75 μg/mL), and combined exposure group (75 μg/mL TPM, 0.88 μg/mL As (III)). After 24 hours' exposure, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) level in cell culture medium and intracellular 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) content were detected by ELISA, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by fluorescent probe DCFH-DA. 2×2 factorial design was used to evaluate the interaction. Results Compared with the control group, the level of SOD in the combined exposure group was significantly increased (P<0.05). In addition, the ROS content in the combined exposure group and TPM alone group was significantly increased (P<0.05). The levels of 8-OHdG in the combined exposure group and low-dose As(III) treated group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). The results of the factorial analysis showed that low-dose As(III) and TPM had interaction on SOD levels, ROS and 8-OHdG contents in A549 cells. The effects on SOD and ROS were synergistic, while the effect on 8-OHdG was antagonistic. Conclusion Low-dose arsenious acid solution As(III) and TPM in cigarette smoke have interaction on oxidative stress in A549 cells.

In order to understand the current development of cell transformation assay (CTA) and its application in the evaluation of cigarette smoke carcinogenesis, the relevant literatures were analyzed and combed from these two aspects. CTA can evaluate the carcinogenicity of various genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens in a short period of time, and has a strong consistency with the results of animal carcinogenic test. After malignant transformation, the cells show changes in cell morphology, immortalization of cells, disappearance of cell-cell contact inhibition, and the ability to form tumors when injected into animals. The identification methods of transformed cells include transformed cell focus count, agglutination test, soft agar culture and inoculation of nude mice, etc. At present, BALB/c 3T3 cells, Bhas 42 cells and SHE cells are the most widely used cells for CTA. Cigarette smoke is a complex aerosol containing a variety of non-genetic carcinogenic chemicals. Cell transformation tests are often used as an in vitro alternative method to evaluate the carcinogenic effects of cigarette smoke, which is different from the short-term genetic toxicity test. It simulates the long-term state of human smoking induced malignant transformation of cells, through the long-term exposure of cells for several decades, which is closer to the occurrence of cancer caused by human smoking. Therefore, CTA can evaluate the carcinogenicity of cigarette smoke and other tobacco products.

Objective: To investigate the application value of parallel and cross-to-overlap anastomosis method (PCOA) in three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolon cancer. Methods: The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 138 patients who underwent 3D laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolon cancer at Henan Provincial People′s Hospital between July 2016 and July 2019 were collected. There were 83 males and 55 females, aged from 30 to 76 years, with a median age of 64 years. All the 138 patients with right hemicolon tumors were diagnosed as malignant tumors by enteroscopy and pathological examination before operation. The lymph node dissection and radical resection of right hemicolon cancer were performed according to the 9th edition of Japanese General Rules for Cancer of Colon, Rectum and Anus of the Japanese Colorectal Cancer Association. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect survival of patients and tumor recurrence and metastasis up to September 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were represented as percentages or absolute numbers. Results: (1) Surgical situations: all the 138 patients underwent 3D laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolon cancer using PCOA to reconstruct digestive tracts, without conversion to open surgery. The operation time, time for PCOA, and volume of intraoperative blood loss was (151.0±54.0)minutes, (20.1±2.0)minutes, and (60±21)mL.
