Objective:To evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of Heidelberg triangle dissection in surgical treatment for pancreatic head cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 97 patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Cangzhou Central Hospital from Jan 2017 to Jan 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. After propensity score matching, 33 patients were included into the Heidelberg group and 36 patients in the control group.Results:There were no significant difference between Heidelberg group and control group in preoperative general conditions and postoperative major complications, while there were more cases with safe surgical margin > 1 mm (81.8% vs. 58.3%, P=0.034) and a significantly higher total number of lymph node dissection (11.24±2.35 vs. 9.50±2.76, P=0.006). In the survival analysis, the cumulative recurrence rate at 12 months (0.182±0.067 vs. 0.444±0.083, P=0.023) and 18 months (0.424±0.086 vs. 0.667±0.079, P=0.024) were better off in the Heidelberg group, and the local recurrence rate in the Heidelberg group was significantly lower than that in the control group (15.3 % vs. 36.1 %, P=0.037). However, there was no statistical difference in the overall survival time between the two groups. Conclusion:Dissection of Heidelberg triangle in radical resection of pancreatic head cancer reduces tumor local recurrence ,while fails to provide survival benefit.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters combined with inflammatory markers for the medium-term efficacy of chemotherapy in patients with primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PGI-DLBCL). Methods:From April 2011 to May 2020, 67 patients (37 males, 30 females, age: 28-85 years) with PGI-DLBCL examined by 18F-FDG PET/CT before chemotherapy in Changhai Hospital, Navy Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with cyclophosphamide+ doxorubicin+ vincristine+ prednisone (CHOP) or rituximab+ CHOP (R-CHOP) regimens, and the medium-term efficacy was evaluated after 2-4 cycles of chemotherapy. The effect outcome was divided into complete remission (CR) group and non-CR (NCR) group based on the Lugano lymphoma response evaluation criteria. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences of SUV max, peak of SUV (SUV peak), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) between two groups. The independent risk factors of NCR were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression and the binary logistic regression model was established according to the results. The model was tested with external validation data ( n=15). Results:Of 67 PGI-DLBCL patients, 28(41.8%) were CR and 39(58.2%) were NCR. SUV peak, MTV, TLG, PLR and NLR in NCR group (17.3(12.3, 28.1), 73.8(42.9, 141.7) cm 3, 887.5(300.9, 2 075.3) g, 203.9(155.7, 297.1), 3.9(3.0, 4.9)) were significantly higher than those in CR group (9.5(6.2, 15.2), 11.3(4.7, 23.2) cm 3, 85.2(35.5, 214.6) g, 149.3(102.8, 173.1), 2.2(1.8, 4.6); z values: from -6.41 to -2.33, all P<0.05). The logistic regression model was as follows: P=1/(1+ e - x), x=0.100×MTV+ 0.024×PLR-8.064. The prediction accuracy for NCR risk was 86.57%(58/67), with the accuracy of 13/15 tested by external validation data. Conclusion:MTV combined with PLR has a good predictive value for medium-term efficacy of CHOP/R-CHOP chemotherapy in patients with PGI-DLBCL.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 190 patients in whom recurrent sites can be identified after radical resection of pancreatic cancer from Sep 2013 to Aug 2020 at the Cangzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The survival time and clinicopathological characteristics of local recurrence were compared with those of other recurrence types. Cox risk regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of local recurrence.Results:The recurrence sites were local (49 cases, 25.8%), liver (53 cases, 27.9%), lung (35 cases, 18.4%), peritoneal (25 cases, 13.2%) and multiple sites (28 cases, 14.7%). Patients mRFS and mOS were 17.8 months and 30.9 months respectively. The clinicopathological features of patients with local recurrence were compared with those of other recurrence types [tumor diameter ( P=0.023), preoperative CA199 level ( P=0.021), peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion ( P=0.031), lymphovascular invasion ( P=0.004), surgical margin state ( P<0.001) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.038)]. Tumor diameter ( P=0.018), peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion ( P=0.002) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.004) were independent factors for local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer, and only peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion was not associated with other recurrence types. Conclusions:Local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer has important impact on the prognosis of patients. Peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion is an independent factor affecting local recurrence.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer incidence in Macao increases gradually, smoking is one of the important high risk factors. The purpose of this study is to observe the detection rate of lung cancer and nodules in long-term smoking Macao individuals. METHODS: We recruited eligible Macao residents by publicity, all subjects were arranged to receive low-dose computed tomography screening. Image features of lung nodules were analyzed by radiologist. For suspicious lung cancer, multiple disciplinary team (MDT) was arranged. RESULTS: A total of 291 were adopted, 10 lung cancers were detected, the detection rate of lung cancer was 3.44% (95%CI: 2.78%-4.01%), all were males. There were 5 adenocarcinoma patients, each 2 squamous-cell carcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma patients; 1 adenosquamous cancer patient. Among 10 lung cancers, 40% had stage 1 disease. The detection rate of lung nodules was 72.9% (95%CI: 67.8%-78.0%); The number of suspicious lung nodules were 44, and the detection rate was 15.1% (95%CI: 11.0%-19.2%). There was no significant differences in the lung cancer detection rate between the single and multiple lung nodule groups (P>0.05). There were 168 subjects in the <6 mm solid lung nodule (SN) and <5 mm no-solid lung nodule (NSN) group and no lung cancer was found, 44 subjects in the ≥6 mm SN and ≥5 mm NSN group. All 9 lung cancer patients were detected in this group. The detection rate of lung cancer was higher than that of the <6 mm SN and <5 mm NSN group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There are high detection rate of lung cancer and lung nodule in the long-term smoking individuals. The lung cancer rate increases when the lung nodule size is larger than 6 mm in SN and 5 mm in NSN. Adenocarcinoma is the major type in the smokers' lung cancers. We suggest long-term smokers should join in the future lung cancer screening trial in Macao. Female lung cancer screening should be established different standard.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with docetaxel and cisplatin in the first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with nimotuzumab combined with docetaxel+cisplatin (observation group, n=28) and docetaxel+cisplatin (control group, n=30). We compared the ORR, DCR, PFS and OS between two regimens, and evaluated the safety. Results The ORR of observation and control groups were 42.9% and 16.7%, the DCR were 78.6% and 53.3%, and the median PFS were 6.2 and 4.3 months, respectively (all P < 0.05), and the median OS were 12.2 and 8.5 months (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Compared with simple chemotherapy, nimotuzumab combined with docetaxel and cisplatin in the first-line treatment could improve the short-term clinical efficacy and prolong the progression-free survival of the patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and caused no additional adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long-term application of prostaglandin analog drops on bulbar conjunctival thickness in rabbits.Methods:Twenty-four healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into latanoprost group, carteolol group and blank control group using the random number table method, with 8 rabbits in each group.The left eyes of rabbits were taken as experimental eyes.The rabbits in the latanoprost group and carteolol group were given latanoprost eye drops or carteolol eye drops once a day for 2 months according to grouping.The bulbar conjunctival thickness of left eyes of the latanoprost group and carteolol group were measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline and two months after administration, respectively.The conjunctival tissue of the three groups were extracted to investigate the protein and mRNA expression level of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-3 by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Putuo Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.2017-0014). The use and care of the experimental animals complied with the ARVO Statement.Results:In the latanoprost group, the conjunctival thickness was significantly reduced from baseline (178.88±5.23)μm to (124.19±11.29)μm at 2 months after administration ( P<0.01). In the carteolol group, there existed no significant difference in the conjunctival thickness between baseline (184.94±11.85)μm and (183.31±8.71)μm at 2 months after administration ( P>0.05). The conjunctival thickness at 2 months after administration of the latanoprost group was significantly thinner than that of the carteolol group ( P<0.01). The protein and mRNA expression levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in conjunctival tissue of the latanoprost group were significantly higher than those of the blank control group and carteolol group (all at P<0.01). Conclusions:The long-term topical use of prostaglandin analog drops can significantly reduce the bulbar conjunctival thickness in rabbits.The mechanism may be related to the elevated expression levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in the bulbar conjunctival tissue.

Objective:To investigate the short-term outcome of Heidelberg triangle dissection in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) for pancreatic cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 84 patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent LPD from July 2015 to September 2020 in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of the Cangzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the scope of surgical dissection, the patients were divided into the control group ( n=45) and the Heidelberg group ( n=39). In the control group, routine lymph node dissection was performed, and in the Heidelberg group, all blood vessels, lymphatic tissue and nerve tissue in the Heidelberg triangle area were dissected on the basis of routine lymph node dissection. Operation-related indicators (operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, cases of patients with intraoperative blood transfusion, fasting time and hospitalization duration after operation), postoperative complications (pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, lymphatic fistula, bleeding and delayed gastric emptying) and postoperative pathological parameters (surgical margin, degree of differentiation, tumor size, cases of nerve invasion, number of dissected lymph nodes, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage) were compared between the two groups. Results:Compared with the control group, the operation time of the Heidelberg group was longer [ (334.85±24.95)min vs (305.09±24.54)min], theincidence of lymphatic fistula was higher (15.4% vs 2.2%), the rate of >1 mm at surgical margin was higher (76.9% vs 53.3%), and the total number of lymph nodes dissection was more [ (11.31±2.46) vs (9.49±2.28)]. All the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences on the intraoperative blood loss, cases of patients with intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative hospital stay and fasting time, incidence of pancreatic fistula and biliary fistula, bleeding, delayed gastric emptying, degree of differentiation, tumor size, cases of nerve invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage between the two groups. Conclusions:LPD combined with Heidelberg triangle dissection for pancreatic cancer was feasible and safe, which can increase the R 0 resection rate, remove more lymph nodes, reduce the local recurrence of pancreatic cancer and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective: To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of mouse multi-subtype heat shock protein/peptide (mHSP/P) vaccine in combination with a programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor in mouse sarcoma. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining and en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa) was used to quantitatively identify the expression of heat shock proteins (HSP70, HSP90, Grp94) in the sarcoma cell line MCA207. From the protein suspension prepared, mHSP/P and Grp94/peptide (Grp94/P) sarcoma vac-cines were isolated using chromatography and were identified by Western blot (WB). Flow cytometry was used to determine their cy-totoxic effects. The levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) produced upon mHSP/P and Grp94/P stimulation were measured by Elisa. The effect of sarcoma vaccines on the growth and survival of sarcoma was evaluated in mice. The expression of PD-L1 on the surface of MCA207 sarcoma cells was evaluated by immunofluorescent staining. The effect of IFN-γ treatment on the expression of PD-L1 was determined by WB. Animal experiments explored the effects of PD-L1 inhibitor in combination with mHSP/P treatment on tumors. Results: Tumor tissue carries a variety of HSP subtypes (HSP70, HSP90, Grp94). We successfully isolated sarco-ma tissue-derived mHSP/P and Grp94/P tumor vaccines, which were identified by WB; flow cytometry analysis demonstrated their cy-totoxicity. The levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokines upon mHSP/P stimulation were significantly higher than that observed upon Grp94/P stimulation (P<0.05). The expression of PD-L1 on the surface of sarcoma cells increased with IFN-γ treatment. Animal experiments demonstrated that PD-L1 inhibitor in combination with mHSP/P significantly increased the immune response against tumor (P<0.05). Conclusions: Tumor-derived mHSP/P and Grp94/P can be used as tumor vaccines in animal models. The mHSP/P can elicit a stronger anti-tumor immune response than Grp94/P. IFN-γ stimulates the expression of PD-L1 in sarcoma cells, which results in immune eva-sion. The PD-L1 inhibitor in combination with mHSP/P increased the anti-tumor effect in the tumor microenvironment.
