Clinical data of a patient with alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) treated at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was initially diagnosed with abdominal ASPS with multiple lung metastases. After 6 weeks of treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab, the patient achieved stable disease (SD). In the 7th week, the treatment was changed to a combination of nivolumab (30 mg, d1, q3w), anlotinib (8 mg, d1-14, q3w) and ipilimumab (50 mg, d1, q6w). The patient remained SD at the 12th week. The patient then underwent iliac artery embolization and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for the lesion in the psoas major muscle, while continuing the combination treatment. By the 24th week, the evaluation showed partial remission (PR) of both primary tumor and lung metastases. The patient experienced mild adverse reactions during treatment.

As a standard of care, lymph node dissection is an indispensible step in lung cancer surgery. The quality of dissection determines completeness of surgery and the accuracy of N staging. Hereby, we suggest labeling all surgically resected nodes according to the new lymph node map in the 8th TNM classification for lung cancer. As systematic lymph node dissection remains the gold standard of lymphadenectomy, at least three mediastinal stations and ten nodes should be removed in an en-bloc fashion, if possible. For patients with stage Ⅰ lung cancer, lymph node dissection via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or open thoracotomy may has similar oncological outcome. Besides, limited lymph node sampling in selected patients with early staged lung cancer to minimize unnecessary surgical damage still need further investigation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of liver transplantation in the treatment of inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods The clinical data for 3 patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent liver transplantation in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Fuzhou General Hospital of People's Liberation Army from January 2006 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up by phone, outpatient service, and hospitalization. The starting point of the follow-up was the operation date. The patients death was the end point. The clinical and pathological features, postoperative survival, tumor recurrence, and prognostic factors were observed. The follow-up deadline was December 2017. Results All 3 patients underwent classical orthotopic liver transplantation using retrograde perfusion through inferior vena cava and no perioperative deaths occurred. All 3 patients were followed up for 10 to 132 months. During the follow-up period, of 1 patient who died of tumor recurrence, the pathological TNM stage was T4a N1 M0, and both had Union for International Cancer Control stage Ⅳa, and the tumor-free survival time was 3 months, and the survival time was12 months. Of 1 patient who died of other causes, the pathological TNM stage was T3N1 M0, and both had Union for International Cancer Control stage Ⅲ, and the tumor-free survival time was 12 months, and the survival time was12 months. One case as of the end of follow-up, the patient has survived for 132 months, the pathological TNM staging was T2a NOM0, and both had Union for International Cancer Control stage Ⅱ. Conclusions Lymph node positive and high pathological TNM stage were poor prognosis factor for hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent liver transplantation. Patients with early hilar cholangiocarcinoma who don't have lymph node metastasis are expected to benefit from liver transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy, safety and risk factors of endoscopic treatment for patients with early gastric cancer. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in a single center and data was collected from 186 early gastric cancers in 168 pathologically confirmed patients who received endoscopic treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2006 to December 2015. The cases were divided into different groups according to indications of endoscopic treatment. The curative resection rate and complication rate were analyzed. Post-resection outcomes were evaluated by long-term surveillance. Results The curative resection rate was 86. 9%( 73/84) in the group with absolute indications, 61. 7%(50/81)in the group with expanded indications, and 33. 3%(7/21) in the group beyond indications (P<0. 01). Multivariate analysis revealed that the significant independent predictors for curative resection included lower third location of stomach, no ulceration,≤2 cm at diameter, no adhesion, and well-differentiation in histopathology. In the expanded indications group, discordance of differentiation type and deeper invasion mainly resulted in non-curative resection in en bloc lesions. The rate of bleeding and perforation was 4. 8%( 9/186) and 3. 8%( 7/186), respectively. The perforation rate was significantly lower in the lesions located in the lower third of stomach, without adhesion or performed by en bloc resection. During a median follow-up period of 22. 3 months, 154 patients were followed successfully. The incidence of synchronous and metachronous gastric cancers in curative resected lesions was 7. 5%( 8/106) and 0. 9%(1/106), respectively. Conclusion Endoscopic resection is an optimal treatment with high curative resection rate for early gastric cancer patients with absolute indications. Patients with expanded indications should take precise preoperative evaluation to avoid higher risk of non-curative resection endoscopically. Close follow-up is necessary for synchronous and metachronous gastric cancers after endoscopic resection.

Objective To measure the endogenous metabolites in synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rabbits with cold syndrome;To investigate the specificity mechanisms of heat-reinforcing needling for RA. Methods A total of forty healthy purple blue rabbits were randomly allocated to normal group, model group, reinforcing-reducing needling group (RRN), twirling-reinforcing needling group (TRN) and heat-reinforcing needling group (HRN) 8 rabbits in each group. Arthritis rabbits cold model was made with ovalbumin and freezing. Except for normal groupand model group, RRN was given acupuncture of reinforcing-reducing needling at Zusanli (ST36), TRN was given acupuncture of twirling-reinforcing needling at Zusanli (ST36), HRN was administrated acupuncture of heat-reinforcing needling at Zusanli (ST36), once a day and retaining 30 min, a total of seven days. Fresh synovial tissues of rabbits knee joints were extracted after the intervention, then GC-Q/TOF-MS technology were employed to evaluate metabolic profiles. Results The synovial tissues metabolites of TCA cycle, carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism in model group mainly increased compared with normal group (P<0.05); The synovial tissues metabolites of various kinds above-mentioned decreased compared with model group in all intervention of acupuncture group (P<0.05), and the metabolites of TCA cycle and carbohydrate metabolism in HRN were obviously less than that of RRN and TRN (P<0.05). Conclusion The specificity of heat-reinforcing needling for RA manifests in regulation of TCA cycle and carbohydrate metabolism.
10.Research advances in the role of GOLPH2 in malignant tumor and its mechanism
Practical Oncology Journal 2017;31(5):458-462
The current detection of serum tumor markers is still considered to be one of convenient and effective means for early diagnosis of tumor and monitoring tumor progression.Golgi phosphoprotein 2(GOLPH2) is a type Ⅱ transmembrane protein presenting in the Golgi apparatus.In recent years,many studies have suggested that GOLPH2 is one of the most promising early serum markers for early diagnosis of tumor.In addition,many studies have beer shown that GOLPH2 is related to prognosis of lung cancer,gastric cancer,prostate cancer and other cancer-related prognosis involved in immune regulation,intracellular signal factor activation and degrada-tion and promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT).Through these mechanisms to promote tumor pro-gression and metastasis,GOLPH2 reduces the disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS).In this pa-per,we review the role of GOLPH2 in the progress and a variety of malignant tumors.
