Objective To investigate the relationship of C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte(CALLY)index,serum autotaxin and serine protease 2(PRSS2)with postoperative recurrence and metastasis in gastric cancer patients.Methods A total of 188 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects.According to the postoperative situation,they were divided into the recurrence and metastasis group(n=72)and the non-recurrence and metastasis group(n=116).C reactive protein(CRP)was detected by immunoturbidimetry,albumin was detected by bromocresol green method,lymphocyte count was detected by blood routine analyzer,and CALLY index was calculated.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of autotaxin and PRSS2,and Spearman/Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between CALLY index,serum autotaxin,PRSS2 levels and clinical data.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis in patients with gastric cancer after radical resection,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of CALLY index,serum autotaxin and PRSS2 levels for recurrence and metastasis in patients with gastric cancer after radical resection.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between CALLY index,serum autotaxin,PRSS2 levels and postoperative recurrence and metastasis.Results Compared with the non-recurrence and metastasis group,the recurrence and metastasis group had a higher proportion of patients with TNM stage Ⅲ,Borrmann type Ⅲ-Ⅳ,lymphovascular invasion,neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative chemotherapy,higher serum levels of autotaxin and PRSS2,and lower CALLY index(P<0.01).TNM stage,Borrmann type,lymphovascular invasion,neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative chemotherapy were negatively correlated with CALLY index,and positively correlated with serum autotaxin and PRSS2 levels,while serum autotaxin and PRSS2 levels were negatively correlated with CALLY index(P<0.01).TNM stage,Borrmann type,lymphovascular invasion,CALLY index,autotaxin and PRSS2 were the influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis in patients with gastric cancer after radical resection(P<0.05,P<0.01).The area under the curve(AUC)of CALLY index,autotaxin and PRSS2 for predicting recurrence and metastasis was 0.962,which was significantly larger than that of CALLY index,autotaxin and PRSS alone(P<0.01).The 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate of patients with low CALLY index expression[56.52%(52/92)]was higher than that of patients with high CALLY index expression[20.83%(20/96)](P<0.01).The 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate of patients with high expression of autotaxin[49.47%(47/95)]was higher than that of patients with low expression[26.88%(25/93)](P<0.01).The 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate of patients with high PRSS2 expression[47.87%(45/94)]was higher than that of patients with low PRSS2 expression[28.72%(27/94)](P<0.01).Conclusion The CALLY index decreases,and serum autotaxin and PRSS2 increase in patients with postoperative recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer.The combined prediction of the three factors demonstrates higher predictive performance for postoperative recurrence and metastasis.

The paper introduces professor LU Yonghui's clinical experience in treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Regarding the pathogenesis of this disease, qi and blood deficiency, and malnutrition of moyuan (sites where the pathogens are hidden, and the membranes outside zangfu organs) are ben (the primary, root cause), while, the dysfunction of qi movement of the triple energizer and dysfunction of bladder in controlling urination are biao (the secondary, symptoms). In treatment, under the guidance of computed tomography, Zhongji (CV 3), the front-mu point of the bladder, is punctured deeply to regulate the functions of zang organ. Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4) are punctured to tonify the organs and control urine, and back-shu points of the bladder meridian are stimulated to adjust qi movement of the triple energizer. All of the acupoints co-act on nourishing moyuan, activating qi movement of the triple energizer and the bladder to control urination.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preservation of left colic artery (LCA) on postoperative anastomotic leakage in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data of rectal cancer patients at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Fujian Cancer Hospital from September 2014 to August 2017. Inclusion criteria: (1) age of 18 to 79 years; (2) rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology; (3) patients without preoperative serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease receiving preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy; (4) laparoscopic-assisted anterior rectal resection and distal ileostomy were performed simultaneously; (5) complete clinical data. Exclusion criteria: patients with extensive abdominal metastasis, or distant organ metastasis during operation, and combined organ resection. According to whether LCA was retained during operation, the patients were divided into two groups, then the intraoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared. Moreover, univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze risk factors of postoperative anastomotic leakage. Results: A total of 125 patients were included in this study, including 56 patients in the retained LCA group and 69 patients in the non-retained LCA group. Differences in baseline data, such as gender, age, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, hemoglobin, distance between tumor and anal margin, maximum diameter of tumor, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, and ypTNM stage, between retained LCA group and non-retained LCA group were not statistically significant (all P>0.05), indicating that two groups were comparable. Meanwhile there were no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total number of lymph node harvested, number of harvested lymph node at the root of inferior mesenteric artery, circumferential margin, anastomotic bleeding, or postoperative hospital stay between two groups (all P>0.05). Thirteen patients in the non-retained LCA group (18.8%) developed postoperative anastomotic leakage, including 7 cases of grade A, 5 cases of grade B and 1 case of grade C, while in the retained LCA group, only 5.4% (3/56) of patients developed postoperative anastomotic leakage, including 1 case of grade A and 2 cases of grade B without case of grade C, whose difference was statistically significant (U=1674.500, P=0.028). Univariate analysis showed that preoperative hemoglobin <120 g/L and non-retained LCA were associated with postoperative anastomotic leakage (both P<0.05). Multivariate analysis cofirmed that preoperative hemoglobin < 120 g/L (OR=3.508, 95% CI: 1.158 to 10.628, P=0.017) and non-retained LCA (OR=4.065, 95%CI: 1.074 to 15.388, P=0.031) were independent risk factors for postoperative anastomotic leakage. Median follow-up time was 31 months (16 to 51 months), and no long-term complication was found. Local recurrence and distant metastasis were found in 1 case (1.8%) and 7 case (12.5%) in the retained LCA group, while those were found in 2 cases (2.9%) and 5 cases (7.2%) respectively, in the non-retained LCA group, whose differences were not statistically significant (P=1.000, P=0.321 respectively). Conclusion Preservation of left colic artery not only can ensure radical lymph node dissection efficacy under the condition of similar operation time and blood loss, but also can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage for rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy.

Aim To determine the possibilities and mechanisms of EGFR, a receptor protein tyrosine kinase associated with many important cellular processes re-sponsible for cardiovascular remodeling in renovascular hypertensive rats. Methods 2K1C hypertensive rats were used in the present study. Blood pressure was measured with the tail-cuff method. LVMI and his-topathological changes in the cardiovascular system were analysed. EGFR expressions of aorta and myocar-dium as well as phosphorylation levels of ERK in hy-pertensive rats were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis, respectively. Results Sys-tolic blood pressure was markedly increased 2 weeks after 2K1C surgery. Cardiovascular remodeling induced by hypertension was confirmed by elevated LVMI, pro-liferation of collagen fibers in myocardial interstitium, histopathological changes in cardiovascular system and increased IMT of thoracic aorta 6 weeks after 2 K1 C surgery. Compared with sham rats, EGFR expression in the ventricular myocardium of 2 K1 C rats was signifi-cantly increased at 6 weeks ( P<0. 05 ) , and the EG-FR/GAPDH ratio was higher in 2 K1 C rats with higher systolic blood pressure ( P < 0. 05 ) . Phosphorylation level of ERK 1/2 was upregulated correspondingly in 2 K1 C rats ( P <0. 01 ) . Increased EGFR expression was also found in aortas of 2K1C rats, particularly in tunica intima and media. Conclusion EGFR and its down-stream kinases ERK 1/2 are involved in cardio-vascular remodeling in association with the severity of hypertension in renovascular hypertensive rats.
