Robotic surgery is known as the"third technological revolution"in the field of surgery,and is an important milestone in the development of modern surgery.However,our country's innovative surgical robot industry is still in its early stages,and it is only being utilized in certain surgical fields.To explore the effectiveness of the application of do-mestic surgical robot in oral and maxillofacial surgery,the author successfully completed a case of benign parotid tumor resection with the assistance of a domestic autonomous robot.The operation was successful,facial nerve function was preserved,and postoperative wound healing was good.

Objective To investigate the expression of inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type Ⅱ B(INPP4B)in colorectal cancer(CRC)and the relevant clinical significance,to determine the relationship between INPP4B and matrix metallopeptidase 7(MMP7)in CRC cells,and to make preliminary exploration of the effects of INPP4B on the proliferation and migration of CRC cells and mechanisms involved.Methods The TIMER2.0 and GEPIA2 databases were used to analyze the differences in INPP4B expression between cancer and para-cancerous tissues and the effects of such differences on the prognosis of CRC.The expression of INPP4B in 102 surgically resected CRC tumors was determined by immunohistochemistry(IHC),and the correlation between INPP4B and clinical pathological indicators was analyzed.In CRC cells with overexpressed/knocked-down INPP4B,the expression of INPP4B and MMP7 were examined by real time fluorogenic quantitative PCR,the protein expression of INPP4B was assessed by Western blot,cell proliferation was determined using the CellTiter 96? AQueous One assay,and cell migration and invasion were assessed using wound healing assay and real-time label-free dynamic cell analysis(RTCA).The LinkedOmics database was used to analyze signaling pathways related to INPP4B function,and the role of potential key molecules was validated at the cellular level.Results Analysis with the TIMER2.0 database and GEPIA2 database showed elevated INPP4B expression(colon adenocarcinoma[COAD]:2.30,rectal adenocarcinoma[READ]:2.33)in CRC compared to normal tissue(COAD:1.91,READ:1.89).IHC testing confirmed that INPP4B was upregulated in clinical CRC tissues and paracancerous tissues(P＜0.001).Cox regression model analysis showed that INPP4B(hazards ratio[HR]=1.457,95％confidence interval[CI]:1.003-2.115)affected the prognosis of CRC,and the Kaplan-Meier curve showed that patients with high INPP4B expression had shorter overall survival(P＜0.05).x2 test was performed to analyze the relationship between INPP4B expression and clinicopathological indexes,and it was found that high expression of INPP4B was correlated with lymph node metastasis(x2=3.997,P=0.046)and neural invasion(x2=8.511,P=0.004).In in vitro experiments,CRC cells overexpressing INPP4B showed a significantly increased cell proliferation and migration compared to the cells in the control group(P＜0.05).Analysis using the LinkedOmics database showed that INPP4B was correlated with extracellular matrix remodeling and cell migration.Pearson's correlation analysis showed that MMP7 was positively correlated with INPP4B(r=0.3782,P＜0.001).INPP4B overexpression or knockdown in vitro also led to the upregulation or the downregulation of MMP7 expression in CRC cells.Conclusion INPP4B is highly expressed in CRC tissues and significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis,neural invasion,and patient prognosis.MMP7 may mediate the role of INPP4B in promoting CRC cell migration and invasion.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of two children with a clinical diagnosis of Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS).Methods:Whole-exome sequencing was used to screen potential variants in the two children. Confirmation of suspected variants was performed through Sanger sequencing , multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification and real-time PCR in probands and their parents.Results:A heterozygous deletion variant, c. 4357_4360delGAAA, was detected in case one, while was de novo and verified by Sanger sequencing. Thevariant was classified as pathogenic(PVS1 + PM2+ PM6)according to ACMG guideline. The heterozygous deletion of exon 1-7 was seen in the same gene in case 2, which MLPA verified as heterozygous deletion of exon 1-6. This deletion was inherited from the father with a normal phenotype, and the father’s TCOF1 gene was suspected to be chimeric heterozygous deletion of exon 1-6 verified by MLPA. Conclusion:The identified variants in the TCOF1 gene probably underlie the two cases of TCS. There was no apparent correlation between genotype and phenotype. In addition, it shows a high interfamilial variability ranging from normal to full presentation of TCS. Genetic detection provided clinical diagnosis and genetic counselling for TCS patients .

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce an in vivo hybrid multimodality technique involving the coregistration of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) to concomitantly visualize and quantify mineralization and vascularization at follow-up in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Three adult female rats were randomly assigned as test subjects, with 1 rat serving as a control subject. For 20 weeks, the test rats received a weekly intravenous injection of 30 μg/kg zoledronic acid, and the control rat was administered a similar dose of normal saline. Bilateral extraction of the lower first and second molarswas performed after 10 weeks. All rats were scanned once every 4 weeks with both micro-CT and HR-MRI. Micro-CT and HR-MRI images were registered and fused in the same 3-dimensional region to quantify blood flow velocity and trabecular bone thickness at T0 (baseline), T4 (4 weeks), T8 (8 weeks), T12 (12 weeks), T16 (16 weeks), and T20 (20 weeks). Histological assessment was the gold standard with which the findings were compared. Results: The histomorphometric images at T20 aligned with the HR-MRI findings, with both test and control rats demonstrating reduced trabecular bone vasculature and blood vessel density. The micro-CT findings were also consistent with the histomorphometric changes, which revealed that the test rats had thicker trabecular bone and smaller marrow spaces than the control rat. Conclusion The combination of micro-CT and HR-MRI may be considered a powerful non-invasive novel technique for the longitudinal quantification of localized mineralization and vascularization.

Objective To investigate the effects of lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) targeting DNA binding protein A (dbpA) on the proliferation and the biological behavior of colorectal cancer cell line SW620.Methods The experiment was divided into 3 groups:KD group (siRNA-dbpA,lentivirus interference group),CON group (non-specific sequence group) and NC group (blank control group).The lentiviral vector siRNA-dbpA was constructed and verified by PCR and DNA sequencing.SW620 cells were transfected with siRNA-dbpA plasmid,nontargeting siRNA plasmid,or empty plasmid.After 48 h the transfection,the cells were examined for dbpA expression using Western blot.After 72 hrs transfection,flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis and cell cycle changes.The cell growth inhibition rate was detected by MTT (4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide) assay,and then clone formation was detected,and the ability of SW620 cells to form tumors in vivo after dbpA was silenced was studied in nude mice.Results PCR analysis and DNA sequencing demonstrated that the RNAi sequence targeting dbpA gene was successfully inserted into the lentiviral vector.siRNA-dbpA transfection resulted in reduced expression of dbpA in SW620 cells.After transfection,the apoptosis rate of siRNA-dbpA-transfected cells increased to 26.60％ ± 0.38％,significantly higher than that in cells transfected with the nontargeting plasmid or the empty plasmid 12.54％ ± 0.25％ and 4.46％ ± 0.19％,respectively (F =28.159,P ＜0.01).The growth inhibition test indicate that the OD value of the fifth day in siRNA-dbpA group was 0.194 ±0.037,significantly lower than that in the other two groups 0.814 ±0.043 and 1.625 ±0.061,respectively(F =23.214,P ＜ 0.01).The colony formation number is 37 ± 3,64 ± 5and 175 ± 10 respectively,siRNA-dbpA is significantly higher than that in the other two groups(F =40.254,P ＜ 0.01).After the completion of nude mouse transplantation tumor model,through the detection of tumor volume,KD group (group siRNA-dbpA) tumor volume after 14 d and CON and NC group had obvious difference (F =38.256,P ＜ 0.05),and after 21d is more significant difference in tumor size (F =40.241,P ＜ 0.01),can be clearly observed after 35 d KD group (group siRNA-dbpA) growing tumors had differences with the control group (F =30.257,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Lentivirus-mediated RNAi targeting dbpA can effectively suppress the expression of dbpA in colorectal tumor in nude mice,it is proved that dbpA silencing has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of living tumor cells and decrease the proliferation of the colorectal cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of serum folate level with the severity of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and presence of cerebral microbleeds (CMB).

METHODSClinical data of WMH patients from the second affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University school of Medicine during July 2011 and February 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. According to Fazekas score based on T2-Flair images, patients were classified into mild WMH (0-3) and severe WMH (4-6). The presence of CMB was assessed on susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI). Binary logistic analysis was conducted to identify the independent predictors for severe WMH and the presence of CMB.

RESULTSTwo hundred and twenty eight patients with WMH were included, among whom 149(65.35%)had severe WMH. In patients with high folate (≥ 15.68 nmol/L), low folate (6.8-15.67 nmol/L) and folate deficiency (<6.8 nmol/L), the proportions of severe WMH were 52.88%, 73.33% and 89.47%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that compared with high folate group, severe WMH was more common in groups with low folate (=2.109, 95%:1.112-4.001,<0.05) and folate deficiency (=6.383, 95%:1.168-34.866,<0.05). Eighty-eight(48.09%) of 183 patients receiving SWI scan presented with CMB. Although the subjects with CMB had lower serum folate level than those without CMB(13.42 vs 16.51 nmol/L,<0.01), binary logistic regression analysis did not reveal the independent association between serum folate level and the presence of CMB after adjusting for hyperhomocysteinemia (>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSLower serum folate level is independently associated with severe WMH, but not with the CMB concurrence.

Objective To investigate the expression of DNA binding protein A (dbpA) in patients with colorectal carcinoma of different stages and its significance.Methods Expression of dbpA protein and mRNA in specimens of normal tissues and colorectal cancer were detected by immunohistochemistry,expression of dbpA mRNA and protein of colorectal cancer cell lines SW480,RKO,SW620,DLD-1,HT-29,SW1463 and tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry,RT-PCR and Western blot.Results There was no positive staining dbpA protein and mRNA in normal colorectal tissues.However,dbpA was expressed in epithelial cells of colorectal mucosa [dbpA mRNA:80.0 ％ (48/60),10.0 ％ (6/60);dbpA protein:83.3 ％ (50/60),10.0 ％ (6/60),P ＜ 0.01].And there was no expression in normal colorectal cell,but its expression was high in 6 colorectal cancer cells (P ＜ 0.05).The high expression of dbpA was correlation with the infiltration depth,lymph node metastasis and type of histology (P ＜ 0.05),and had effect in prognosis of colorectal cancer (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Elevated dbpA may be related to the pathogenesis and development of colorectal carcinoma,and dbpA may be a prognostic factor of colorectal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the regression pattern of mid and low rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and then to provide the pathological proofs for reasonable resectional margin in rectal cancer surgery.

METHODSForty cases of mid and low rectal cancer patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy and then underwent radical operation. The whole-mount serial sections of resected rectal cancer specimen were stained with cytokeratin antibody using immunohistochemical techniques to show the residual cancer cells under the mucosa. The microscopic measurement was performed to determine the reverse infiltration of cancer cells in the rectal wall and to describe the cancer cells scatter ways in the cancer mass. The Ki-67 immunohistochemical stain was also performed to show the proliferation activity of residual cancer cells after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

RESULTSThe length of specimen was shrinking continuously during the pathologic section production and the shrink rate was 18%. There were remanent cancer cells which showed positive Ki-67 expression and the chemoradiotherapy decreased the Ki-67 expression significantly. The lower edge of remaining ulcers or scars could be used as the reference point from which the cancer infiltration could be measured. According to our measurement, the average reverse infiltration of cancer cells in the whole-mount section was (6.1±4.7) mm, the deepest one was 11.0 mm in the section which could be converted into fresh bowel length of 12.98 mm. The pathology showed that the residual cancer cells scattered in the fibrous tissue of ulcers, scars and manifested a regression of spatial distribution.

CONCLUSIONSThe rectal cancers show regression in different degrees after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The residual cancer cells in the fiber tissues manifest proliferation activity. The distal end of resection should be at least 2 cm away from the lower edge of ulcers or scars of primary tumor in the rectal wall in patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The circumferential resection margin should include all the fibrous scar of the tumor area to ensure the remove of tumor cells completely.
