Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment methods of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm combined with infectious wounds and to evaluate the clinical effects.Methods:The retrospective observational research method was used. Twelve patients with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm combined with infectious wounds who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Wuxi Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital (Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University) from October 2014 to September 2022, including 6 males and 6 females, aged from 46 to 78 years. In the primary operation, debridement, tumor resection, and artery suture/venous grafting to repair the artery/artery ligation were performed, and the wound area after tumor resection ranged from 4.0 cm×1.5 cm to 12.0 cm×6.5 cm. Wounds that could be sutured were treated with tension reduction suture and extracutaneous continuous vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), while large wounds that could not be sutured were treated with VSD to control infection. In the secondary operation, tension reduction suture was performed to repair the wounds that could be sutured; large wounds were repaired with adjacent translocated flaps with area of 9.0 cm×5.0 cm to 15.0 cm×7.0 cm. Additionally, when the length of the exposed femoral artery was equal to or over 3.0 cm, the wounds were repaired with additional rectus femoris muscle flap with length of 15.0 to 18.0 cm. The donor areas of the flaps were directly sutured. The wound with artery ligation was treated with stamp skin grafting and continuous VSD. The bacterial culture results of the wound exudate samples on admission were recorded. The intraoperative blood loss, the location of femoral artery rupture, the artery treatment method, and the wound repair method in the primary operation were recorded, and the durations of catheter lavage, catheter drainage, and VSD treatment, and the drainage volume after the operation were recorded. The repair method of wounds in the secondary operation, the durations of catheter drainage and VSD treatment, and the total drainage volume after the operation were recorded. The survivals of flap/muscle flap/stamp skin grafts were observed, and the wound healing time was recorded. Follow-up after discharge was performed to evaluate the quality of wound healing and the walking function and to check whether the pulsatile mass disappeared. B-ultrasound or computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed again to observe potential pseudoaneurysm recurrence and evaluate the patency of blood flow of the femoral artery.Results:The bacterial culture results of wound exudate samples of all the patients were positive on admission. The blood loss was 150 to 750 mL in the primary operation. The arterial ruptures were located in the femoral artery in 8 cases, in the external iliac artery in 2 cases, and in the femoral arteriovenous fistula in 2 cases. Six cases received direct artery suture, 4 cases received autologous great saphenous vein grafting to repair the artery, 1 case received autologous great saphenous vein bypass surgery, and 1 case received artery ligation. The primary wound suture was performed in 4 cases, along with catheter lavage for 3 to 5 days, catheter drainage for 4 to 6 days, VSD treatment for 5 to 7 days, and a total drainage volume of 80 to 450 mL after the surgery. In the secondary operation, the wounds were sutured directly in 3 cases along with catheter drainage for 2 to 3 days, the wound was repaired with scalp stamp skin graft and VSD treatment for 5 days in 1 case, the wounds were repaired with adjacent translocated flaps in 2 cases with catheter drainage for 2 to 3 days, and the wounds were repaired with rectus femoris muscle flaps+adjacent translocated flaps in 2 cases with catheter drainage for 3 to 5 days . The total drainage volume after the secondary operation ranged from 150 to 400 mL. All the skin flaps/muscle flaps/skin grafts survived after operation. The wound healing time ranged from 15 to 36 days after the primary operation. Follow-up of 2 to 8 months after discharge showed that the wounds of all patients healed well. One patient who underwent femoral artery ligation had calf amputation due to foot ischemic necrosis, and the rest of the patients regained normal walking ability. The pulsatile mass disappeared in inguinal region of all patients. B-ultrasound or CTA re-examination in 6 patients showed that the blood flow of femoral artery had good patency, and there was no pseudoaneurysm recurrence.Conclusions:Early debridement, tumor resection, and individualized artery treatment should be performed in patients with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm combined with infected wounds. Besides, proper drainage and personalized repair strategy should be conducted according to the wound condition to achieve a good outcome.

Objective:To investigate the regulation effect of miR-125b in the gastric cancer cell growth mediated by apoptosis related protein (Fas)/apoptosis related protein ligand (FasL) signal.Methods:Gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were cultured in vitro. MiR-125b inhibitor sequence, NC sequence and transfection reagent were transfected into SGC-7901 cells and divided into three groups: miR-125b inhibited group, NC group and control group. The expression of miR-125b in transfected cells was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. The colony formation was detected by plate cell clone formation assay. Cell apoptosis and cycle were detected by flow cytometry. The protein expression of Fas and FasL was detected by Western blot. The targeted regulation of Fas by miR-125b was detected by luciferase activity assay. Results:The expression level of miR-125 and the number of cell colony in miR-125b inhibited group was significantly lower than those in control group and NC group, and the inhibition rate of cell proliferation and apoptosis rate were significantly higher than that in control group and NC group (all P<0.05). The DNA content in G 1 phase in miR-125b inhibited group was significantly higher than that in control group and NC group, and the DNA content in S phase in miR-125b inhibited group was significantly lower than that in control group and NC group (all P<0.05). The expression of Fas and FasL protein in miR-125b inhibited group was significantly higher than that in control group and NC group (all P<0.05). The target site of miR-125b was found in 3′-UTR of Fas mRNA, and compared with the NC+ Fas 3′UTR-Wt group, the activity of luciferase in the miR-125b inhibited group+ Fas 3′-UTR-Wt group decreased significantly ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Inhibition of miR-125b expression can activate Fas/FasL signal and inhibit SGC-7901 cell proliferation, induce G 1 phase arrest of cell cycle and promote apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of piperine on experimental colon carcinogenesis induced by 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)/sodium dextran sulfate (DSS) and its mechanism.Methods:36 mice were divided into control group, model group and piperine group, 12 mice in each group. The control group was given normal saline by gavage; The model group and piperine group were given 3.6 mg/(kg·d) of normal saline and piperine respectively after establishing the experimental colon cancer model induced by DMH/DSS. Tumor load and volume were observed. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histological change of colon in mice. RAS/PI3K/AKT related pathway protein expression was detected by Western blot.Results:The body weight gain, protein expression levels of cleaved poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), cleaved caspase-3 in model group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, pan-Ras, p-MEK, p-ERK, PI3K, p-AKT, NF-κBP65, c-Myc and cyclin D1 in model group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The body weight gain, protein expression levels of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 in piperine group were significantly higher than those in model group (all P<0.05). The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, pan-Ras, p-MEK, p-ERK, PI3K, p-AKT, NF-κBP65, c-Myc and cyclin D1 in piperine group were significantly lower than those in model group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Piperine can inhibit the occurrence of experimental colon cancer induced by DMH/DSS, which may involve multiple components of RAS/PI3K/AKT signal axis.

Objective:To study the epidemiological features of local influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 epidemic strains through analyzing the changes in lineages and to analyze how well the vaccine strains were matched to the circulating strains in Hangzhou.Methods:Of 1 112 clinical specimens from laboratory-confirmed A(H1N1)pdm09 infections in Hangzhou in consecutive seasons from 2009 to 2020, 208 (18.7%) with high viral load (Ct value <30) were randomly selected from 10 influenza epidemics for full-length hemagglutinin gene ( HA) gene sequencing. Genetic variation, evolution and lineage changes of these representative local strains were analyzed by comparison with vaccine strains and reference strains. Results:Since the 2009 pandemic, A(H1N1)pdm09 had become one of the predominant viruses causing seasonal influenza and been reported to co-circulate with influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses in Hangzhou in the past decade. It caused 10 local influenza epidemics in the 12 consecutive seasons from 2009 to 2020. HA gene sequencing revealed complex sources and rapid variation of the local A(H1N1)pdm09 strains. The main epidemic strains often genetically drifted from the recommended northern hemisphere vaccine strains due to lineage changes. Conclusions:This study suggested that it was essential to update the recommended vaccine strains year by year. Besides, enhanced periodic monitoring of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 strains circulating in the region was important for the prevention and control of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection in the next epidemic season.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of free posterior tibial artery perforator flap in repair of forefoot soft tissue defect.Methods:From January 2017 to January 2021, a retrospective study was conducted on 13 patients with forefoot soft tissue defect, metatarsal head exposed, and forefoot transverse arch integrity, including 9 males and 4 females. The age was (40.0±13.0) years old. Cause of injury: 8 cases of traffic accident injury, 5 cases of heavy object smashing injury. Seven cases had forefoot skin defect and toe damage, and 6 cases had forefoot skin avulsion injury, open toe fracture with tendon, blood vessel and nerve injury. The wound area was 4.5 cm×3.0 cm-8.0 cm×6.0 cm. VSD treatment was performed in the first stage, and free posterior tibial artery perforator flap was used for the second stage. The flap area was 5.5 cm×4.0 cm-9.0 cm×7.0 cm. Outpatient reviews scheduled at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months after surgery, through outpatient clinic, telephone or WeChat. The flaps were evaluated according to appearance, texture, sensory recovery, and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hind foot function scoring system.Results:All 13 flaps survived. The follow-up lasted for 6 to 24 months. The feet were in good shape, walking with weight beries, and the flaps had satisfactory appearance without wear and tear. Five cases were S 3, 6 were S 2, and 2 were S 1. According to AOFAS ankle-hindfoot function score, 4 had excellent scores, 7 were in good, and 2 in fair. Conclusion:The free posterior tibial artery perforator flap has relatively constant perforators, and the pedicle of the middle and upper perforators is longer, and the flap can build part of the sensation. Posterior artery perforator flap is a good flat for repairing the soft tissue defects of the metatarsal head of the forefoot.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype and molecular genetic characteristics of malignant solitary fibrous tumor (MSFT).Methods:Seven cases of MSFT were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2018 to December 2020. Immunohistochemistry, RNA-based NGS and DNA-based NGS were performed. Results Among the 7 patients, there were 5 males and 2 females with a median age of 53 years (37-69 years). Two tumors located at skull base, and one in the tentorium of cerebellum, parietal occipital region, occipital area, chest and buttock respectively. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 2.5-20.0 cm. Microscopically, typical hemangiopericomatoid structures were noted; the tumor was cellular, fusiform or oval, very pleomorphic, with necrosis and high mitotic figures (>4/10 HPF). In some cases, classical solitary fibrous tumor morphology and dedifferentiated region were observed. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for CD34 (6/7), STAT6 (7/7), bcl-2 (7/7), but negative for S-100 (7/7); CKpan or EMA was positive to varying degrees; mutated p53 was noted (3/7); Ki-67 positive index was more than 10%. NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion was typically detected in all the 7 cases. In 4 cases, ZNF415-FGFR1, COPG1-MET, IPO11-LRRC70_ncRNA-PLAG1 and Clorf198-CD274 (PD-L1) gene fusions were also detected. NOTCH1 mutation was found in 7 cases and TP53 mutation in 4 cases. TERT promoter mutations were not detected in all the cases. Conclusions:MSFT is rare and needs to be differentiated from many other spindle cell tumors. Especially when tumors express epithelial markers, they are easily misdiagnosed as sarcomatoid carcinoma and synovial sarcoma, etc. Immunohistochemistry and molecular detection of NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion have important diagnostic values. NOTCH1 and TP53 mutations may be associated with the progression of MSFT. Some patients have FGFR1 gene fusion and MET gene fusion, which may be potential therapeutic targets.

Objective To investigate the value of SpyGlass single-operator choledochoscopy system in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with unexplained biliary stricture, complex bile duct stones, or other biliary tract diseases. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of the patients with biliary tract diseases who were diagnosed and treated with SpyGlass in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2017 to June 2020. For the patients with biliary stricture, the biliary lesions were fully visualized under the guidance of SpyGlass, and SpyBite biopsy was performed if necessary; the patients with bile duct stones were treated with SpyGlass-guided direct-view laser lithotripsy; for the patients with gallbladder disease, the cystic duct was superselected with the assistance of SpyGlass. The SpyGlass system was analyzed in terms of its sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rate in diagnosis and treatment, lithotripsy success rate, stone clearance rate, procedure success rate, and incidence rate of complications. Results A total of 58 patients underwent SpyGlass procedure. SpyGlass was used to evaluate biliary stricture of unknown nature in 44 (76%) patients; SpyGlass visual impression had a diagnostic sensitivity of 92% (24/26), a specificity of 94% (17/18), and an accuracy of 93% (41/44), and SpyBite biopsy had a diagnostic sensitivity of 71% (15/21), a specificity of 92% (11/12), and an accuracy of 79% (26/33). SpyGlass was used for the treatment of bile duct stones in 8 patients (14%), with a lithotripsy success rate of 83% (5/6) and a stone clearance rate of 88% (7/8). A guide wire under the SpyGlass system was to superselect the cystic duct in 5 patients (9%), with a procedure success rate of 80% (4/5). In one patient (1%), SpyGlass was used to assist the removal of common bile duct stones after liver transplantation and the treatment of bile duct anastomotic stricture. A total of 5 patients (9%) experienced complications after surgery. Conclusion The SpyGlass choledochoscopy system is accurate, safe, and effective in the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained biliary stricture, complex bile duct stones, and other biliary tract diseases.

Objective:To study the clinicopathologic features and MYD88 L265P mutation status of intravascular large B cell lymphoma (IVLBCL).Methods:Fourteen cases of IVLBCLs were diagnosed from March 2014 to December 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The clinicopathologic features and prognosis were analyzed. Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNAs and MYD88 L265P mutation status were detected using in situ hybridization and Sanger sequencing, respectively. The follow-up data were obtained by telephone interview.Results:There were 6 males and 8 females with a median age of 62 years (range: 48-73 years). The involved anatomic locations were demonstrated by positron emission tomography-computed tomography, including adrenal gland (7/14), bone (6/14), central nerve system (4/14), skin (3/14), female reproductive system (3/14), local lymph nodes (3/14), prostate (2/14), liver and spleen (2/14), sphenoid sinus (1/14), penis (1/14), bladder (1/14), and right lung (1/14). Fever was the most common symptom (7/14), followed by neurologic symptoms and lower abdominal pain (2/14 each). The reminder symptoms included rash with edema, legs weakness and numbness, or postmenopausal bleeding (1/14 each). Eleven cases were at Lugano stage Ⅳ. Four cases were associated with the hemophagocytic syndrome, while 6 cases with bone marrow involved. Microscopically, the tumor cells were generally concentrated within the small-to-medium vascular lumens or sinusoids; they had centroblast-like appearance and showed large round or oval nuclei with slightly irregularities, coarse chromatin and 1-3 distinct nucleoli. One exception was the one case with an embryoid nuclei, reminiscent of anaplastic large cell lymphoma. The mitosis was not uncommon. Extravascular neoplastic cells were seen in two cases. The neutrophils could be appreciable in most of the cases (10/14). Immunophenotyping showed that CD20 and CD79α were diffusely and strongly positive in 14 cases; 12 cases were classified as the non-GCB subtype; 6 out of the 11 cases were double expressor lymphoma; 7 out of the 12 cases were CD5-positive. Twelve cases were EBER negative. The MYD88 L265P mutation was detected in 1 case (1/10). The duration of the follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 24.0 months, and 11 patients survived and 3 died.Conclusions:IVLBCL is rare. The most common type of IVLBCL in China is Asian type with scant tumor cells. Combination of clinical and immunohistochemical features can avoid most, if not all, misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses. Some IVLBCL cases may harbor the MYD88 L265P mutation, but the prevalence of MYD88 L265P mutation in the population still warrants additional studies.
