Objective:To study the expression of forkhead box P1 (FOXP1) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and its clinicopathological and prognostic significance.Methods:The clinical data of ICC patients treated with radical resection at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 1, 2013 to December 12, 2019 were retrospectively analysed. Of 48 ICC patients, there were 24 males and 24 females, with age of (59.1±10.1) years old (range 42 to 83 years old). Their clinicopathological data, including age, gender, tumor size, degree of differentiation, and staging were recorded. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of FOXP1 protein in ICC cancer tissues and the corresponding adjacent normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and to construct survival curves of patients. Cox regression model was used to analyze factors affecting prognosis of patients.Results:Forty-eight ICC cancer tissues and 40 corresponding paracancerous tissues were collected. The positive rates of FOXP1 proteins in ICC were significantly lower than the adjacent normal tissues [54.2%(26/48) vs. 92.5%(37/40), χ 2=15.76, P<0.05]. The degrees of tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, organ invasion and TNM staging were related to expression of FOXP1 ( P<0.05). Forty-two patients were followed-up with a median follow-up time of 11.5 (7.75, 19.25) months. Cox multivariate analysis revealed that invasion to adjacent organs, lymph node metastasis, high TNM staging (stage Ⅲ) and negative expression of FOXP1 were independent risk factors affecting overall survival of ICC patients. The overall survival and recurrence-free survival of FOXP1-positive ICC patients were 17.5 months and 15.5 months, which were significantly higher than the 14.0 months and 11.1 months, respectively, in FOXP1-negative patients. Conclusion:Negative FOXP1 expression was closely correlated with aggressive biological behavior and poor prognosis of ICC. FOXP1 may be used as new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Objective:To observe the relationship between the occurrence of symptomatic hypocalcemia (SH) and various potential influencing factors in patients after thyroidectomy, stratify according to the scope of thyroidectomy, and explore the predictive value of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) for postoperative SH.Methods:Among 3 379 patients with thyroidectomy who admitted into the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to February 2021, 122 patients with SH after thyroidectomy were collected retrospectively and set as SH group. 100 patients of the remaining 3 200 patients who did not suffer from SH in the same year were selected by systematic sampling method and set as control group. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the potential influencing factors such as age, preoperative calcium, postoperative calcium, preoperative iPTH, postoperative iPTH, central lymph node number, blood loss, operation duration, gender, lymph node dissection method, thyroidectomy range, postoperative pathological type and other. Among them, the measurement data of normal distribution were expressed by mean±standard deviation( Mean± SD), t-test was used for the comparison between the two groups, and Chi-square test was used for count data. By drawing the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), the iPTH levels in patients with and without SH before/after operation (different surgical methods) were studied, and the diagnostic threshold, sensitivity and specificity of iPTH were predicted. Results:Among 3 379 patients, 122 patients suffered from SH after thyroidectomy, with the incidence rate of 3.6%. There were significant differences in gender (8 males and 114 females in SH group; 27 males and 73 females in control group), whether lateral area dissection was performed (58 cases with dissection and 64 cases without dissection in SH group; 7 cases with dissection and 93 cases without dissection in control group), thyroidectomy range (14 cases with one side and 108 cases with both sides in SH group; 73 cases with one side and 27 cases with both sides in control group), age (40.1 years old vs 43.2 years old), dissection number of central lymph nodes (8.6 vs 4.6), dissection number of cervical lymph nodes (12.3 vs 0.7), blood loss (22.8 mL vs 11.0 mL), operation duration (1.7 h vs 0.8 h), postoperative iPTH (16.4 pg/mL vs 41.9 pg/mL), preoperative iPTH (39.4 pg/mL vs 47.8 pg/mL) in SH group; and postoperative calcium level (1.9 mmol/L vs 2.2 mmol/L). There was significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant differences between them with postoperative pathological type (4 cases with toxic goiter, 3 cases with medullary thyroid carcinoma, 1 case with thyroid follicular carcinoma, 114 cases with papillary thyroid carcinoma in SH group; 1 case with medullary thyroid carcinoma, 1 case of thyroid follicular carcinoma, 98 cases with papillary thyroid carcinoma in control group, P=0.25) and preoperative calcium (2.3 mmol/L vs 2.3 mmol/L, P=0.10). For patients with bilateral thyroidectomy, SH was easy to occur when postoperative iPTH < 20.08 pg/mL, and its sensitivity and specificity were 74.07% and 96.30%; however, for patients with unilateral thyroidectomy, SH was easy to occur when iPTH < 24.00 pg/mL after operation. Conclusions:Gender, age, postoperative calcium, preoperative iPTH, postoperative iPTH, central lymph node number, blood loss, operation duration, lymph node dissection method and thyroidectomy range are important factors affecting the occurrence of SH after thyroidectomy. With the expansion of surgical range, the postoperative iPTH level gradually decreases, which predicts the occurrence of symptomatic hypocalcemia. In order to avoid the occurrence of symptomatic hypocalcemia after operation, it is necessary to supplement calcium in time according to the range of operation and postoperative iPTH level.

Background:
and Purpose Previous studies suggested increased visit-to-visit variability of total cholesterol (TC) is associated with stroke. This study aimed to investigate the associations of various lipids measurements variability and the risk of stroke and stroke type (ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke).
Methods:
Fifty-one thousand six hundred twenty participants in the Kailuan Study without history of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cancer who underwent three health examinations during 2006 to 2010 were followed for incident stroke. Variability in TC, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) measurements were measured using the coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD), variability independent of the mean (VIM), and average real variability (ARV).
Results:
During a median of 6.04 years of follow-up, 1,189 incident stroke (1,036 ischemic and 160 hemorrhagic stroke) occurred. In the multivariable-adjusted model, the hazard ratio (HR) comparing participants in the highest versus lowest quartile of CV of HDL-C were 1.21 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02 to 1.45; P for trend=0.013) for ischemic stroke. The highest quartile of CV of LDL-C was associated with 2.17-fold risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.25 to 3.75; P for trend=0.002) compared with the lowest quartile. We did not observe any significant association between TC and triglycerides variability with any of stroke. Consistent results were obtained when calculating variability index using SD, VIM, or ARV.
Conclusions
These findings suggest the high visit-to-visit HDL-C and LDL-C variability were associated with an increased incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, respectively.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary hepatic malignancy with an increasing incidence and mortality in recent years.Despite advanced improvements in its diagnosis and therapy,the prognosis for ICC patients remains poor.High heterogeneity and malignant biological behavior are the main factors determining the prognosis of ICC.An in-depth study of the mechanism of ICC invasion and metastasis is expected to help optimizing clinical decision-making.The application of advanced technologies such as next-generation sequencing has enhanced the researchers' understanding of heterogeneity of ICC and characteristics of invasion and metastasis.Studies have found that ICC gene expression abnormalities (gene mutations,fusion gene formation,and abnormalities in gene expression regulatory pathways) and microRNA expression disorders are closely related to ICC cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis.In addition,ICC is usually characterized by a dense desmoplastic stroma,in which cancer-associated myofibroblasts are the major cellular components and play an important role in inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition,promoting malignant cell invasion and metastasis,and even accelerating ICC progression.
