Abstract
Objective: To examine the value of number of metastatic lymph nodes(NMLN), lymph node ratio(LNR) and log odds of metastatic lymph nodes(LODDS) in assessing the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 440 ICC patients who underwent curative-intent resection in 10 of Chinese hepatobiliary surgery centers from January 2010 to December 2018 were collected, and the deadline of follow-up was April 30th, 2019. Among them, 205 were males and 235 were females, with age of (57.0±9.9) years (range:23-83 years).Eighty-five cases (19.3%) had intrahepatic bile duct stones, and 98 cases (22.3%) had chronic viral hepatitis.The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. The univariate and multivariate analysis were implemented respectively using the Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: A total of 440 patients underwent curative-intent resection and lymphadenectomy.R0 resection were achieved in 424 cases (96.4%) and R1 resection were in 16 cases (3.6%). The results of postoperative pathological examination showed that high, moderate and poor differentiation was 4.2%(18/426), 60.6%(258/426) and 35.2%(150/426), respectively.Adenocarcinoma was seen in 90.2%(397/440) and non-adenocarcinoma was seen in 9.8%(43/440), respectively. T stage: 2 cases (0.5%) with Tis, 83 cases(18.9%) with T1a, 97 cases(22.0%) with T1b, 95 cases(21.6%) with T2, 122 cases (27.7%) with T3 and 41 cases(9.3%) with T4.The overall median survival time was 24.0 months, and the 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rate was 74.3%, 37.7% and 18.3%, respectively. Lymphatic metastasis occurred in 175 patients(39.8%), the median total number of TNLE(M(Q(R))) was 6(5), the median number of NMLN was 0(1), the median number of LNR was 0 (0.33) and the median number of LODDS was -0.70(-0.92). Rerults of univariate analysis showed that combined stones, pathological differentiation, vascular invasion, LODDS, margin and T staging affected the prognosis (all P<0.05). Rerults of multivariate analysis showed that pathological differentiation, LODDS, margin, and T staging were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of ICC patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion: LODDS could be used as an optimal prognostic lymph node staging index for ICC, and it is also an independent risk factor for survival after curative intent resection.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the rationality of stage pT3 in the AJCC 8(th) TNM criteria of gallbladder carcinoma. Methods: A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical and pathological data of 88 patients with pT3 gallbladder carcinoma admitted to Department of Second Biliary Surgery of Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, affiliated to Naval Medical University from May 2013 to September 2018.pT3 stage tumors were divided into two groups: (1) pT3a stage: tumors had penetrated serosa but not directly invaded liver and/or an adjacent organ or structure; (2) pT3b stage: tumor penetrating serosa and directly invaded liver and/or an adjacent organ or structure. There were 45 patients with pT3a stage, including 15 males and 30 females, aged 36 to 80 years, with a median age of 59 years; 43 patients with pT3b, including 24 males and 19 females, aged 41 to 78 years old, median aged 63 years old.Patients with pT3a and pT3b were further divided into two groups respectively: radical resection group and extended radical resection group according to surgical radicalization. Independent sample t-test was used for comparison between two groups with normal distribution measurement data. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used between groups of non-normally distributed measurement data.The comparison of the count data was performed by χ(2) test or Fisher exact probability method. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method, and survival rate was compared using Log-rank test. Results: (1)Serum total bilirubin(15.6(90.3)mmol/L), albumin(40.2(4.8)mmol/L), and CA19-9(132.90(455.78)U/ml) levels in pT3b patients were higher than that in pT3a patients(10.2(6.8)mmol/L, 41.8(4.9)mmol/L, 14.35(36.27)U/ml), respectively(Z=-3.816, -1.966, -3.739, all P<0.05),postoperative complication rate in pT3b patients(24.4%) was higher than that in pT3a patients(8.9%)(P<0.05),postoperative hospital stay(12(7)days) and overall hospital stay((26±17)days) of pT3b patients were longer than that of pT3a patients((10±5) days and (19±7)days) (P<0.05). (2) The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of pT3b and pT3a patients were 53%,22%,22% and 69%, 46%,38%,and the median survival time was 13 months and 26 months, respectively. The difference in survival rates between the two groups was statistically significant(χ(2)=5.117, P=0.024). (3)The 1-, 3-year survival rates of extended radical resection group(n=19) and radical resection group(n=24) in the pT3b stage were 73%, 36% and 28%, 7%, respectively.The survival time was 20 months and 9 months,respectively,and the difference in survival rates between the two groups was statistically significant(χ(2)=4.976, P=0.026). Conclusions: pT3 gallbladder carcinoma could be further subdivided into pT3a stage and pT3b stage based on the TNM criteria of AJCC 8(th) gallbladder carcinoma. Extended radical resection for pT3b gallbladder carcinoma should be further considered after comprehensive assessment of the patient's basic condition and surgical tolerance.

Abstract
Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical efficacy of 3D and 2D laparoscopic surgery in thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. Method: Thirty-seven patients with early-differentiated thyroid cancer underwent laparoscopic surgery from August 2016 to November 2018. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into 3D laparoscopic group and 2D laparoscopic group based on laparoscopic imaging systems. The perioperative clinical indicators and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Result: Compared with the 2D laparoscopic group, the 3D laparoscopic group had shorter operation time and less bleeding, and the incidence of postoperative complications was less, but the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion: Compared with the 2D laparoscopic thyroidectomy, 3D laparoscopic thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer allows higher surgical precision, shorter operation time, lower operation risk and smoother surgical procedure, thus improves surgical efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-angiogenic therapy combined with chemotherapy could improve the outcomes of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Apatinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits VEGF receptor 2. We assessed the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy of apatinib and oral etoposide, considering the potential advantage of home administration without hospital admission, in patients with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer. METHODS In this phase 2, single-arm, prospective study, we recruited patients aged 18-70 years with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (China). The treatment consisted of apatinib at an initial dose of 500 mg once daily on a continuous basis, and oral etoposide at a dose of 50 mg once daily on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle. Oral etoposide was administered for a maximum of six cycles. Treatment was continued until disease progression, patient withdrawal, or unacceptable toxic effects. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving an objective response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. We used Simon's two-stage design, and analysed efficacy in the intention-to-treat and per-protocol populations. Safety analyses included enrolled patients who had received at least one dose of study medication, but excluded those without any safety data. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02867956. FINDINGS Between Aug 10, 2016, and Nov 9, 2017, we screened 38 and enrolled 35 patients. At the data cutoff date (Dec 31, 2017), 20 (57%) patients had discontinued the study, and 15 (43%) patients remained on treatment. Objective responses were achieved in 19 (54%; 95% CI 36·6-71·2) of 35 patients in the intention-to-treat population and in 19 (61%; 42·2-78·2) of 31 patients in the per-protocol population. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (17 [50%]), fatigue (11 [32%]), anaemia (ten [29%]), and mucositis (eight [24%]). Serious adverse events were reported in two patients who were admitted to hospital (one patient had anaemia and anorexia; the other patient had increased ascites due to disease progression). No treatment-related deaths were recorded. INTERPRETATION The combination of apatinib with oral etoposide shows promising efficacy and manageable toxicities in patients with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer, and further study in phase 3 trials is warranted. FUNDING None.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinicopathological characteristics and immunohistochemical phenotype of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) . Methods: The clinicopathological data and immunohistochemical profiles were obtained retrospectively from 206 patients diagnosed with PMT at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) during July 2008 to September 2017, with a review of literature. Results: The mean age of PMT patients was 42 years (range 13 to 70 years), with a male to female ratio of 1.1∶1.0. All patients presented with different degree of bone pain, muscle weakness, shorten of stature, thoracic deformity and pathological fractures, with hypophosphatemia and high serum ALP. Phosphatemia returned to normal within 1 week after operation in all cases underwent complete tumor resection. The duration of osteomalacia before resection (documented in 197 cases) ranged from 20 days to 40 years (average 5.7 years). The average blood phosphorus concentration raised from 0.49 mmol/L to 0.92 mmol/L before and after tumor resection (P<0.01), with 147 cases (84.0%, 147/175) returned to normal range within 2 weeks. The rate or blood phosphorus concentration recovery in 15 days after operation was 79.6% in average, displayed significant differences between patients with complete resection and those with partial resection (85.4% vs. 21.1%, P<0.01). PMT lesions mainly involved lower extremities (55.8%), followed by head and neck (29.1%). In immunohistochemical study, all cases were positive for vimentin (100.0%), while most cases were positive for NSE (96.3%), CD56 (94.2%), FGF23(88.4%), CD68 (88.3%), D2-40 (70.9%), CD34 (23.1%), SMA (55.5%), bcl-2 (59.8%) and CD99 (47.1%). The Ki-67 positive index of tumor varied from less than 2% (51.4%), 3% to 10% (41.3%) to >10% (7.2%). Conclusions: PMT mainly occurs in lower limbs or head and neck, with unique clinical characteristics and blood biochemical indexes. The tumor expresses a variety of immunohistochemical markers, indicating the potential of multi-directional differentiation. Clinical profile, blood biochemistry testing and immunohistochemical phenotype is helpful for diagnosis of PMT.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the clinical application of glass micro fiber basophil activation test (BAT) used as a complementary test for house dust mite allergen.Method:Forty patients with clinical diagnosed allergic rhinitis was test by three methods for house dust mite allergen, skin prick test(SPT),Immuno CAP sIgE, and BAT in vitro. The sensitivity and specificity of glass micro fiber were accessed, and the consistency between BAT, SPT, and Immuno sIgE was analyzed. As in vivo provocation was not performed, gold standard is regarded as the combination of medical history and positive reports of SPT and/or ImmunoCAP sIgE test.Result:Twentythree patients are diagnosed as house dust mite allergic rhinitis by gold standard. The sensitivity and specificity of glass micro fiber BAT were 60.9% and 88.2%, the sensitivity of SPT and sIgE was 87.0% and sIgE 73.9%. The correlation rates between BAT with SPT is 0.67(P<0.05), and sIgE 0.55(P<0.05). The accuracy, predictive value of positive and negative of BAT are 0.47,60.9%,88.2%.The Kappa values of BAT, SPT and sIgE with gold standard are 0.47,0.86,0.71.Conclusion:As a complementary test for house dust mite allergic rhinitis, BAT have a good consistency with SPT and sIgE, while as it has only moderate consistency with "gold standard", further studies are needed to prove its clinical significance.

Methods: The clinicopathological data of 97 patients with T1b stage gallbladder carcinoma came from 8 clinical centers from January 2010 to December 2016 and 794 patients who were admitted to the SEER database of USA from January 1973 to December 2014 were analyzed.There were 891 patients including 254 males and 637 females (1.0∶2.5) with age of (69.5±12.0)years. There were 380 patients who were less than 70 years old, 511 patients who were more than 70 years old. And there were 213 patients with the diameter of tumor less than 20 mm, 270 patients with the diameter of tumor more than 20 mm, 408 patients were unclear. There were 196 patients with well differentiation, 407 patients with moderately differentiation, 173 patients with poorly differentiation, 8 patients with undifferentiated, 107 patients were unclear. In the 891 patients with T1b stage gallbladder carcinoma, there were 562 cases accepted the simple cholecystectomy, 231 cases with simple cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy, and 98 cases with radical cholecystectomy. The time of follow-up were until June 2017. χ(2) test was used to analyze the enumeration data, rank-sum test was used to analyze the measurement data, the analyses of prognostic factors were used Cox proportional hazards model, the survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The results of Cox proportional hazards model indicated, age, differentiation, surgical procedure were the risk factors of prognostic(1.929(1.594-2.336), P<0.01; 1.842(1.404-2.416), P<0.01; 1.216(0.962-1.538), P<0.01). The results of Kaplan Meier test indicated, the overall survival of T1b stage gallbladder carcinoma were (85.5±3.8)months, the overall survival of patients with simple cholecystectomy were (71.3±4.4)months, the overall survival of patients with cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy were(87.6±5.8)months, and the overall survival of patients with radical cholecystectomy were(101.7±9.3)months. The overall survival of patients with cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy and radical cholecystectomy were more than simple cholecystectomy(P<0.05). There were 329 patients with Lymph nodes examined in and after operations(231 patients with cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy, 98 patients with radical cholecystectomy). There were 265 patients with negative lymph node metastasis, the overall survival were(98.3±4.2)months. There were 64 patients with positive lymph node metastasis, the overall survival were(75.5±3.1)months. The overall survival of 38 patients with cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy were(62.7±2.6) months, and 26 patients with radical cholecystectomy were (82.2±3.7)months. The overall survival of patients with radical cholecystectomy were more than cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy(P<0.05). Conclusions: The T1b stage gallbladder carcinoma patients with cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy or radical cholecystectomy has improved the prognosis comparing with simple cholecystectomy, significantly. When lymph node metastasis occurs, radical cholecystectomy has improved the prognosis comparing with cholecystectomy plus lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
Biliary carcinoma includes intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer. There are few studies about laparoscopic treatment for biliary malignancy due to the complicated dissection of porta hepatic structure, and even reconstruction of biliary tract and(or) vessel under laparoscopy, which increases the difficulty of the laparoscopic radical resection of biliary malignancy. To promote the standardized application and development of laparoscopic techniques in operation of biliary malignancy, the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic techniques are explained in this paper.

Abstract
Abstract
Inactivating germline mutations in the NF1 gene (encoding neurofibromin) cause neurofibromatosis type 1. In addition to peripheral nervous system tumors, NF1 patients are at higher risk for other cancers, including breast cancer. Tumor exome-sequencing studies demonstrate that approximately 20% of all human cancers have somatic NF1 mutations. NF1 has been best known for its ability to inactivate Ras as a GAP (GTPase Activating Protein). However, this function is served by a small GAP domain in a very large protein. Recurrent missense mutations inactivating the GAP activity are infrequent. In contrast, it is common to detect frameshift (FS) and nonsense (NS) NF1 mutations, which can create an NF1-null state deleting not only GAP, but also, potentially, undefined NF1 functions whose loss could also drive tumorigenesis.
As we reported at SABCS previously, in 600+ patients treated by tamoxifen adjuvant monotherapy, we found that FS/NS NF1 mutations independently correlate with relapse risk (HR=2.6, p=0.03). To explore this finding, we silenced NF1 in preclinical models of ER+ breast cancer, which markedly enhanced ER transcriptional activities, causing estradiol (E2) hypersensitivity and converted tamoxifen into an agonist (in vitro and in vivo). Most important, these activities depend on ER, but not on NF1's GAP activity. These findings readily explain the poor patient outcomes associated with NS/FS NF1 mutations, and reveal a previously unrecognized function for NF1 in ER regulation.
In the presence of an agonist, liganded ER repels co-repressors and recruits co-activators, while the reverse is true with an antagonist such as tamoxifen. Many co-regulators contain leucine/isoleucine rich motifs, which bind directly to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) in ER. NF1 has several of these motifs that are much more highly conserved in species with a functional ER pathway, and some of these are mutated in cancers (e.g., in our patient cohort). Furthermore, we found that NF1 canbind directly to ER, and that this binding is mediated between the ER LBD and the NF1 leucine-rich regions. Like a classic co-repressor, wildtype NF1 (but not mutants lacking GAP activity or the Leu-rich motif) binds to ER, and is recruited by ER to the ERE in the presence of tamoxifen, but not E2.
Further preclinical treatment studies indicate that while NF1-deficient ER+ breast cancer should not be treated by tamoxifen or AIs, fulvestrant remains effective. Furthermore, when fulvestrant is combined with dabrafinib and trametinib to inhibit Ras effectors Raf and MEK, apoptosis is induced in vitro, and tumor regression is observed in vivo. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that NF1 is a dual negative regulator at the intersection of two potent oncogenic signaling pathways, Ras and ER, and that NF1-deficient ER+ breast cancer patients may be more effectively treated by co-targeting the Ras and ER signaling. These patients, up to 10% of those with advanced ER+ breast cancer, can be readily identified for treatment by ctDNA analysis. A clinical trial is under development.

BACKGROUND To develop and validate a nomogram based on log of odds between the number of positive lymph node and the number of negative lymph node (LODDS) in predicting the overall survival (OS) and cancer specific survival (CSS) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10,692 post-operative EOC patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2013 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and randomly divided into training (n = 7,021) and validation (n = 3,671) cohorts. Multiple clinical pathological parameters were assessed and compared with outcomes. Parameters significantly correlating with outcomes were used to build a nomogram. Bootstrap validation was subsequently used to assess the predictive value of the model. RESULTS In the training set, age at diagnosis, race, marital status, tumor location, stage, grade and LODDS were correlated significantly with outcome in both the univariate and multivariate analyses and were used to develop a nomogram. The nomogram demonstrated good accuracy in predicting OS and CSS, with a bootstrap-corrected concordance index of 0.757 (95% CI, 0.746-0.768) for OS and 0.770 (95% CI, 0.759-0.782) for CSS. Notably, in this population our model performed favorably compared to the currently utilized Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) model, with concordance indices of 0.699 (95% CI, 0.688-0.710, P < 0.05) and 0.719 (95% CI, 0.709- 0.730, P < 0.05) for OS and CSS, respectively. Using our nomogram in the validation cohort, the C-indices were 0.757 (95% CI, 0.741-0.773, P < 0.05, compared to FIGO) for OS and 0.762 (95% CI, 0.746-0.779, P < 0.05, compared to FIGO) for CSS. CONCLUSIONS LODDS works as an independent prognostic factor for predicting survival in patients with EOC regardless of the tumor stage. By incorporating LODDS, our nomogram may be superior to the currently utilized FIGO staging system in predicting OS and CSS among post-operative EOC patients.

Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the clinicopathological and immunophenotypic characteristics of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) in China. Methods and materials Seventy-two consecutive ESS cases treated between 1995 and 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Sixty-three patients received surgical treatment. Forty-one patients underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy. In paraffin-embedded specimens, expression of the following molecular markers was detected: CD10 (27/36), vimentin (37/38), HHF35 (3/32), S-100 (0/25), desmin (2/29), CD117 (0/23), CD34 (2/24), alpha-inhibin (0/17), CK (1/34), CD99 (4/9), smooth muscle actin (5/25), EMA (0/7), estrogen receptor (13/16) and progesterone receptor (13/16). CD10 and vimentin were expressed more frequently in these specimens. Tumor classification, CD10 and surgical procedures were significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS). Surgical procedures were significantly associated with overall survival (OS). Tumor stage (P = 0.024) and surgical procedure (P = 0.042) were found to be significant independent prognostic factors for DFS. No complete or partial response was observed among patients who received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Conclusions Our results indicate that total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by pelvic lymphadenectomy is associated with an improved treatment outcome. CD10-negative expression may contribute to the malignant characteristics and recurrence associated with ESS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the association between anaemia and outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHODS MEDLINE®, Cochrane Library, OVID and EMBASE databases were searched to identify studies that examined the effect of anaemia on mortality or other adverse events (heart failure, cardiogenic shock or major bleeding). RESULTS Nineteen studies met the final inclusion criteria (total number of patients 241 293). The risks of shortterm mortality (odds ratio [OR] 2.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.09, 3.65), long-term mortality (OR 2.03; 95% CI 1.52, 2.71), heart failure (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.47, 2.62), cardiogenic shock (OR 1.95; 95% CI 1.04, 2.64) and major bleeding (OR 4.28; 95% CI 1.05, 17.14) were increased in patients with anaemia, compared with patients without anaemia. Anaemia was also associated with a higher risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 1.49, 95% CI 1.24, 1.79). CONCLUSIONS These study findings suggest that anaemia can be used to identify patients with ACS who are at a high risk of death or adverse events, and it may become a promising risk stratification factor in ACS.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to study the protective effects of nuclear factor-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) on endotoxin-induced liver injury in a rat model. METHODS Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control (n=20), a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (n=20), and an NF-κB decoy ODN group (n=20). Liver and blood serum samples were collected at 24 hours after the operation. NF-κB binding activity was detected by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, liver histopathology, by light microscopy; and cell apoptosis, by a terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labeling assay. The serum of liver enzyme (aspartate transaminase [AST]) levels were measured using an automated biochemical analyzer and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS NF-κB was dramatically activated after endotoxin-induced liver injury. Many hepatocytes underwent degeneration and necrosis in the LPS group. The expressions of AST, TNF-α, and IL-6 were significantly increased compared with the control group (P=.0005), However, NF-κB decoy ODNs altered these undesirable changes. On the other hand, IL-6 expression was not significantly decreased by the NF-κB decoy versus the LPS group (P=.0745). CONCLUSIONS NF-κB decoy strategy inhibited the binding activity of NF-κB, thus suppressing production of downstream cytokines which play crucial roles in protection from endotoxin-induced injury.

Abstract
AIMS Small-cell carcinoma is a variant of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. Primary small-cell carcinoma of the cervix (SCCC) is recognised as a rare and aggressive malignant tumour with poor prognosis. In this study, the authors report 25 Chinese cases of SCCC, with a particular focus on their clinical and pathological characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS The records of 25 patients from 4075 Chinese patients with cervical cancer were collected and reviewed, including the patients' age, initial symptoms, cervical tumour size, International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics clinical stage, lymph-node metastasis, treatments and follow-up results. Immunohistochemical detection was performed for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), synaptophysin (Syn), chromogranin A (CgA), neuronal cell adhesion molecules (CD56), thyroid transcriptional factor-1 and S100 protein (S100). RESULTS The median age of 25 patients with SCCC was 43.7 years. The most common symptom was abnormal vaginal bleeding. Histologically, there were 19 'homogenous' SCCC samples and six samples of SCCC mixed with adenocarcinoma. The proportion of SCCC samples with positive immunoreactivity were 100.0% for NSE, 96.0% for Syn, 68.0% for CD56, 76.0% for CgA, 40.0% for thyroid transcriptional factor-1, 84.0% for epithelial membrane antigen, 68.0% for cytokeratin and 8.0% for S100, respectively. Every patient received one to three types of treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The median survival time of patients was 20.9 months after diagnosis. CONCLUSION The higher proportion of positive labelling of Syn, CD56, CgA, and NSE in SCCC implicated that they are valuably applied in a differential diagnosis of the malignancy. The patients with SCCC receive one to three types of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and have a poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate type II radical hysterectomy with or without adjuvant therapy as a treatment for patients with pelvic lymph node metastasis (PLNM) and stage IB-IIB cervical carcinoma. METHODS A total of 288 patients with stage IB-IIB cervical carcinoma and confirmed PLNM who underwent a type II radical hysterectomy between 1995 and 2005 were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate for this cohort was 65.6%, and independent prognostic factors identified for PLNM patients included a non-squamous cell histological subtype and parametrial involvement. Survival differences between patients that received or did not receive adjuvant treatment were also evaluated, and the 5-year OS and DFS rates for patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy (47 and 41.4%, respectively) were much lower than the rates for patients who did receive adjuvant therapies (67.7 and 59.4%, respectively). However, these differences were not statistically significant (OS, P = 0.057; DFS, P = 0.080). CONCLUSIONS Type II radical hysterectomy, in combination with adjuvant therapies, is an efficient treatment for PLNM patients with stage IB-IIB cervical cancer.

Abstract
Differential gene expression profiling was carried out on primary tumour tissues and adjacent non-neoplastic tissues from patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). RNA extracted from ESCC tissues and matched normal oesophageal epithelium of four ESCC patients was analysed using whole-genome microarrays. Bioinformatics analysis was also carried out to ascertain which genes and pathways may be important in the carcinogenesis of ESCC. A total of 570 genes were identified that differed significantly in expression: 303 genes were up-regulated and 267 genes were down-regulated in ESCC tissues compared with normal oesophageal epithelium. Gene ontology analysis showed that the primary molecular functions of these genes were related to the extracellular region, collagen and endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Pathway analysis revealed seven pathways or networks highly associated with the differential expression profile. Gene set analysis showed that the POD1_KO_UP gene set was significantly enriched, containing 15 matching genes. Thus, a large number of genes are involved in the carcinogenesis of ESCC and participate in various cell processes and pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effect and mechanisms of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) on rat liver grafts following ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). METHODS Animals were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 8): control ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and decoy ODN groups; in the last cohort donor grafts were transfected with 120 microg NF-kappaB decoy ODN before procurement. Following 2 hours of reperfusion, NF-kappaB binding activity was detected in isolated Kupffer cells (KCs) using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-6 messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions were analyzed using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods. Liver tissue and blood serum were collected for histopathologic examination and liver function test, respectively. RESULTS The NF-kappaB binding activity, TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA expression as well as serum ALT and total bilirubin levels were significantly increased compared with the control group following reperfusion (P < .01). A large number of hepatocytes showed degeneration and necrosis. However, these indices were significantly ameliorated among the decoy ODN group (P < .01) with preserved hepatic lobule architecture. CONCLUSION KCs NF-kappaB activation following reperfusion plays an important role in IRI after liver transplantation. The decoy strategy showed an apparent effect to suppress NF-kappaB activation and inhibit production of downstream cytokines, thereby protecting liver grafts from IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) can be used for the quantitative examination of fragment of cytokeratin 19, and is a valuable tumor marker in various malignancies. This study was to investigate the significance of pretreatment serum CYFRA21-1 and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg) in diagnosis and their correlations to the clinicopathologic features of cervical carcinoma. METHODS One hundred cervical carcinoma patients underwent pretreatment serum CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg evaluation; 20 healthy women were subjected as control. The specificity and sensitivity of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg as diagnostic indexes were analyzed; their correlations to clinicopathologic features were investigated through univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The specificity of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg in diagnosing cervical cancer were both 100%. The sensitivity of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg in diagnosing cervical cancer were 36.0% and 47.0% respectively, without significant difference. The combined examination of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg elevated the sensitivity to 60.0%, which was significantly higher than that of examining CYFRA21-1 alone. Univariate analysis showed elevation of CYFRA21-1 was related with FIGO stage and tumor size; elevation of SCCAg was related with pathologic type, tumor size, deep stromal invasion and pelvic node metastasis. Multivariate analysis showed that elevation of CYFRA21-1 had no relationship with any factors, while elevation of SCCAg was related with deep stromal invasion and pelvic node metastasis. The sensitivity of SCCAg in predicting pelvic node metastasis and deep stromal invasion were significantly higher than those of CYFRA21-1 (75.0% vs. 29.2%, p = 0.001; 55.8% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.024), and the addition of CYFRA21-1 to SCCAg could not significantly improve the sensitivity compared with SCCAg alone (79.2% vs. 75.0%, p > 0.05; 63.5% vs. 55.8%, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The value of pretreatment serum CYFRA21-1 as predictor of pelvic node metastasis and deep stromal invasion is less significant compared with that of SCCAg. For cervical squamous cell cancer, SCCAg is the preferred tumor marker.
