Abstract
The polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) and bisphenol A (BPA) are environmental contaminants that can cross the placenta and exert toxicity in the developing fetal nervous system. Copy number variants (CNVs) play a role in a number of genetic disorders and may be implicated in BDE-209/BPA teratogenicity. In this study, we found that BDE-209 and/or BPA exposure decreased neural differentiation efficiency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), although there was a >90% induction of neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) from exposed hESCs. However, the mean of CNV numbers in the NPCs with BDE-209 + BPA treatment was significantly higher compared to the other groups, whereas DNA methylation was lower and DNA methyltransferase(DNMT1 and DNMT3A) expression were significantly decreased in all of the BDE-209 and/or BPA treatment groups compared with the control groups. The number of CNVs in chromosomes 3, 4, 11, 22, and X in NPCs with BDE-209 and/or BPA exposure was higher compared to the control group. In addition, CNVs in chromosomes 7, 8, 14, and 16 were stable in hESCs and hESCs-derived NPCs irrespective of BDE-209/BPA exposure, and CNVs in chromosomes 20 q11.21 and 16 p13.11 might be induced by neural differentiation. Thus, BDE-209/BPA exposure emerges as a potential source of CNVs distinct from neural differentiation by itself. BDE-209 and/or BPA exposure may cause genomic instability in cultured stem cells via reduced activity of DNA methyltransferase, suggesting a new mechanism of human embryonic neurodevelopmental toxicity caused by this class of environmental toxins.

Abstract
It has been shown that focused ultrasound (FUS) can be effectively used for brain tumor therapy, and as a noninvasive, targeted drug delivery technique combined with microbubbles. In this study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to measure the kinetics of Gadolinium diethylenetriamine Penta acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) in glioma-bearing rats. Ten glioma-bearing rats (9-12 weeks, 290-340 g weight) were used in the study. After the use of dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE)-MRI, the spatial permeability of FUS-induced blood-brain barrier disruption (BBB-D) was evaluated, and the kinetic parameters by the general kinetic model (GKM) were calculated. The results show that mean trans K of the contralateral tumor was significantly lower than the mean trans K of sonicated tumor. Moreover, the transfer constant trans K in ultrasound tumors was closely related to tissue extravasation (R = 0.95), suggesting that DCE-MRI can determine drug accumulation in the brain. Except for a few small red blood cell extravasations, there was no macroscopic damage according to the histologic analysis. The study showed that the DCE-MRI can be a valuable tool in quantifying BBB permeability in tumors and monitor the kinetics of FUS-induced BBB-D processes.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the oncologic and functional outcomes of supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) in the treatment of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods: A total of 298 laryngeal carcinoma patients who underwent SCPL treatment from January 2005 to December 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical data of demographic and clinical characteristics, postoperative complications, rehabilitation information, recurrence and metastasis were analysed. Survival and local control were used to evaluate the clinical outcome.Data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 software. Results: Thirty-one patients with supraglottic carcinoma underwent cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP)and 267 with glottic carcinoma underwent cricohyoidopexy (CHP) were enrolled in this study. The mean duration of followed up was 74 months, ranging from 12 to 146 months. Fifty-four cases died at last follow-up. With respect to 31 patients with supraglottic carcinoma, 5- and 10-year overall survival rates and disease specific survival rates all were 78.1%; 5- and 10-year disease free survival rates were 72.1% and 63.7% respectively; and 5- and 10-year local control rates were both 84.2%. In 267 patients with glottic carcinoma, 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 85.8% and 77.1% respectively; 5- and 10-year disease specific survival rates were 86.6% and 78.4% respectively; 5- and 10-year disease free survival rates were 80.6% and 74.2% respectively; and 5- and 10-year local control rates were 90.0% and 89.4% respectively. The survival rate of patients with glottic carcinoma at stage T1 was higher than that at stage T2 or T3, and the disease free survival rate of patients with early stage was superior than that of patients with advance stage. Cox regression analysis showed that tumor stage T2, and T3, tumor recurrence, and tumor metastasis were independent risk factors for survival. Furthermore, nasogastric feeding tube removal rate was 100% and the decannulation rates of SCPL were 96% in the patients with SCPL. Conclusions: SCPL is a safe procedure with tumor resection for laryngeal carcinoma, with preserving of swallowing, respiration, and phonation functions, and has excellent survival and local control rates. This procedure could be considered as a standard function-sparing treatment for selected patients with laryngeal carcinoma of stages T1b-T3.

Abstract
The pathogenesis and key functional molecules involved in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) remain unclear. Here, we reported that Erbin, a protein required for the polarity of epithelial cells, is conserved across species and highly expressed in the intestinal mucosa in mice and zebrafish. Pathologically, Erbin expression in the intestinal mucosa was significantly decreased in DSS induced acute colitis mice, IL-10 deficient mice and clinical biopsy specimens from patients with ulcerative colitis. Moreover, Erbin deficient mice are more susceptible to experimental colitis, exhibiting more severe intestinal barrier disruption, with increased histological scores and excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, Erbin deficiency or knockdown significantly exacerbated activation of autophagic program and autophagic cell death in vivo and in vitro. And, inhibition of autophagy by Chloroquine attenuates excessive inflammatory response in the DSS-induced colitis mouse model of Erbin deletion. Generally, our study uncovers a crucial role of Erbin in autophagic cell death and IBD, giving rise to a new strategy for IBD therapy by inhibiting excessive activation of autophagy and autophagic cell death.

Abstract
Objective To investigate whether sustained abdominal aorta compression (SAAC) can improve coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and improve resuscitation outcomes without causing liver laceration. Design and Setting Animal study. Methods Cardiac arrest was induced by asphyxia in 28 New Zealand rabbits and maintained for 2 minutes before resuscitation. Animals were resuscitated using either standard CPR (STD-CPR group) or standard CPR and SAAC (SAAC-CPR group). Restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), restoration of spontaneous breathing (ROSB) and cerebral performance category score were determined. CPP, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and ROSC were compared in the two groups. Results MAP and CPP in the SAAC-CPR group were significantly higher than in the STD-CPR group. However, MAP and blood gas results showed no significant difference between the two groups during ROSC. ROSC was achieved in seven of fourteen animals in the STD-CPR group and in eleven of fourteen animals in the SAAC-CPR group. Five animals in the STD-CPR group and nine in the SAAC-CPR group survived 24 hours after ROSC. No liver injury occurred in the two groups. Conclusions SAAC-CPR produces an increased CPP and MAP than traditional CPR and it does not lead to liver laceration/injury.

Abstract
Objective: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) accounts for up to 10%-15% sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the children and young population. This study aimed to assess the current situation and challenges in CPVT clinical diagnosis. Method: A retrospective review included 11 children (7 male patients) at the First Hospital of Tsinghua University clinically diagnosed with CPVT from June 2014 to July 2017. Each patient was evaluated with detailed history, physical examination, resting 12-lead electrocardiogram(ECG), 24-h Holter, exercise stress test, Doppler echocardiography and genetic test. Result: During physical activity and/or emotional stress, ten children presented with recurrent syncope and one child presented with palpitation and chest distress. The mean age of symptom onset was 8.4 (4.0-13.7) years with a delayed diagnosis of 2.4 (0.04-5.00) years. Two children had a familial history of syncope or sudden death. Nine children were initially misdiagnosed as complex arrhythmic conditions (n=4), syncope of unknown origin (n=3), and drug-resistant epilepsy (n=2) treated with antiepileptic medication for several years. Bidirectional VT and (or) polymorphic VT were detected using Holter recording or exercise test ECG in all patients. Genetic test revealed CPVT-associated pathologic or possible pathologic mutations in nine patients. All patients were treated with beta-blockers. Six patients were asymptomatic, four patients reported infrequent syncope, and one sudden death occurred during a mean follow-up of 0.97 years. Conclusion: CPVT mainly occurs in children and adolescents with recurrent syncope during physical activities and/or emotional stress. Early diagnosis of CPVT remains challenging due to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Detailed clinical history and exercise stress test improve the early diagnosis and intervention for CPVT patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphanous-related formins (DRFs), actin necleator, have been known to participate in the progression of cancer cells. We previously reported that FMNL2 (Formin-like2), a member of DRFs, was a positive regulator in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis, yet proteins and pathways required for the function of this pro-invasive DRFs remain to be identified. METHODS The relationship between FMNL2 and COMMD10 was examined using Co-IP, GST pull-down, immunofluorescence and in vitro ubiquitination assay. The in vitro and in vivo function of COMMD10 in CRC was evaluated using CCK-8 proliferation assay, plate colony formation, cell cycle, apoptosis and animal models. The inhibition of NF-κB signalling by COMMD10 was detected using dual-luciferase reporter assay and western blotting. Co-IP, GST pull-down and nuclear protein extraction assay were performed to evaluate the effect on p65 by COMMD10. Real-time PCR and western blotting were performed to detect expressions of FMNL2, COMMD10 and p65 in paired tissues. RESULTS FMNL2 targets COMMD10 for ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation in CRC cells. COMMD10 targets p65 NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB) subunit and reduces its nuclear translocation, thereby leading to the inactivation of NF-κB pathway and suppression of CRC invasion and metastasis. Inhibition of NF-κB signalling by COMMD10 is necessary for FMNL2-mediated CRC cell behaviours. Downregulation of COMMD10 predicts poor prognosis of CRC patients. The expressions of FMNL2, COMMD10 and p65 are highly linked in CRC tissues. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that the FMNL2/COMMD10/p65 axis acts as a critical regulator in the maintenance of metastatic phenotypes and is strongly associated with negative clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical features of patients with ovarian tumor and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor(NMDAR) encephalitis, and to explore the influence of operation patterns on the prognosis. Methods: The clinical information of patients with ovarian tumor and anti-NMDAR encephalitis in The 3rd Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University and The Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University were collected and analyzed. Results: There were 15 patients were enrolled in this study, with the average age of 24.5±5.0 years old. The most frequent first symptom was psychosis. The main clinical features were psychosis, seizures, conscious disturbance, autonomic dysfunction, dyskinesia, central hypoventilation and impaired memory. Most patients' symptoms were relieved after immunotherapy and surgery. The number of favorable prognosis of patients (mRS score 0-2) with ovariectomy was higher than that of the patients with ovarian cystectomy (5 vs 3). But the difference had no statistical significance (P=0.529). Conclusions: For young female patients with psychosis, we should be alert to the possibility of anti-NMDAR encephalitis and screen for tumor. Treated with immunotherapy and operation, most patients can get a favorable prognosis.

Abstract
The class III deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a member of the sirtuin family proteins, plays a key role in many types of cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we report that SIRT1 suppressed CRC metastasis in vitro and in vivo as a negative regulator for miR-15b-5p transcription. Mechanistically, SIRT1 impaired regulatory effects of activator protein (AP-1) on miR-15b-5p trans-activation through deacetylation of AP-1. Importantly, acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), a key enzyme of the fatty acid oxidation (FAO) pathway, was found as a direct target for miR-15b-5p. SIRT1 expression was positively correlated with ACOX1 expression in CRC cells and in xenografts. Moreover, ACOX1 overexpression attenuated the augmentation of migration and invasion of CRC cells by miR-15b-5p overexpression. In conclusion, our study demonstrated a functional role of the SIRT1/miR-15b-5p/ACOX1 axis in CRC metastasis and suggested a potential target for metastatic CRC therapy.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy(TIC) in children and assess the risk factors for the development of TIC. Method: One hundred and eighty-three patients were recruited in four hospitals of Beijing diagnosed as SVT were divided into two groups depending on whether or not complicated with TIC. The age, gender, tachycardia type, ventricular rate during tachycardia, frequency of tachycardia episodes and duration of tachycardia were compared between the two groups and risk factors associated with TIC were analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed using t test, Mann-Whitney U and χ(2) test. Result: Totally 183 patients were included in this study (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, PSVT, n=149; atrial tachycardia, AT, n=34). The incidence of TIC was 13.1%. There was significant difference regarding the incidence of TIC between children with AT and children with PSVT (26.5% vs. 10.1%, χ(2)=6.537, P=0.011). The percentage of AT in patients with TIC was significantly higher than patients without TIC (37.5% vs. 15.7%, χ(2)=6.537, P=0.011). Patients with TIC had a higher frequency of tachycardia episodes(2.5(1.0-4.8) beats/year vs 4.0(1.0-10.0) beats/year, Z=-2.223, P=0.026)and longer duration of tachycardia(11.0(1.1-36.0) h vs 2.5(1.0-12.0) h, Z=-2.154, P=0.031)compared with patients without TIC. Multivariate predictors of TIC was longer duration of tachycardia (OR=2.041, P=0.028). Conclusion: TIC occurs in 13.1% of children with SVT. The incidence of TIC in children with AT is higher than in children with PSVT. Risk factor for the development of TIC is longer duration of tachycardia.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) was utilized to investigate the role of carboxylic acid groups in the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) for the first time. As a result, GO with sufficient carboxylic acid groups reduced 45% of NO at 100 °C. However, GO without these oxygen-containing groups barely reduced NO (lower than 5%) under the same conditions. After reduction of NO, the carboxylic acid group content on GO decreased from 8.32 to 5.22 mmol g-1. Simultaneously, the anhydride group content increased from 0.14 to 0.28 mmol g-1. FTIR spectroscopy also indicated that the carboxylic acid groups transformed into anhydride and lactone groups. Moreover, both transient kinetics and TG-MS studies demonstrated that reactive intermediates formed during the reaction between NO and GO at 100 °C. Based on these results, it was proposed that the carboxylic acid groups participated in NO reduction by consumption and regeneration. This mechanism explains why carbon is usually an effective reductant and catalyst support for NO removal at low temperature.

Abstract
The spin and parity of the Z_{c}(3900)^{±} state are determined to be J^{P}=1^{+} with a statistical significance larger than 7σ over other quantum numbers in a partial wave analysis of the process e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ. We use a data sample of 1.92 fb^{-1} accumulated at sqrt[s]=4.23 and 4.26 GeV with the BESIII experiment. When parametrizing the Z_{c}(3900)^{±} with a Flatté-like formula, we determine its pole mass M_{pole}=(3881.2±4.2_{stat}±52.7_{syst}) MeV/c^{2} and pole width Γ_{pole}=(51.8±4.6_{stat}±36.0_{syst}) MeV. We also measure cross sections for the process e^{+}e^{-}→Z_{c}(3900)^{+}π^{-}+c.c.→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-} and determine an upper limit at the 90% confidence level for the process e^{+}e^{-}→Z_{c}(4020)^{+}π^{-}+c.c.→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-}.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between shift work and overweight/obesity in male steel workers. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among the male steel workers selected during health examination in Tangshan Steel Company from March 2015 to March 2016. The relationship between shift work and overweight/obesity in the male steel workers were analyzed by using logistic regression model and restricted cubic splinemodel. Results: A total of 7 262 male steel workers were surveyed, the overall prevalence of overweight/obesitywas 64.5% (4 686/7 262), the overweight rate was 34.3% and the obesity rate was 30.2%, respectively. After adjusting for age, educational level and average family income level per month by multivariable logistic regression analysis, shift work was associated with overweight/obesity and obesity in the male steel workers. The OR was 1.19(95% CI: 1.05-1.35) and 1.15(95% CI: 1.00-1.32). Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the relationship between shift work years and overweight/obesity in the male steel workers was a nonlinear dose response one (nonlinear test χ2=7.43, P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the relationship between shift work years and obesity in the male steel workers was a nonlinear dose response one (nonlinear test χ2=10.48, P<0.05). Conclusion: Shift work was associated with overweight and obesity in the male steel workers, and shift work years and overweight/obesity had a nonlinear relationship.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of serum free light chain (FLC) in differential diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). Methods: Forty-nine hospitalized patients who underwent renal biopsy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2013 and December 2015 were included. Monoclonal gammopathy was detected by serum protein electrophoresis (SPE), serum immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE), urine IFE and serum FLC. All patients were classified as MGRS (n=32) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) (n=17). Results: Renal lesions in MGRS subgroup included light chain amyloidosis (n=24, 75.0%), light chain deposition disease (n=7, 21.9%), and fibrillary glomerulopathy (n=1, 3.1%). Renal diseases in MGUS subgroup included membranous nephropathy (n=10), focal segmental glomerulosclerosi (FSGS) (n=3), diabetic glomerulopathy (n=1), Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (n=1), anti-GBM disease concurrent with membranous nephropathy (n=1) and glomerulomegaly (n=1). Positive number of SPE, serum IFE, urine IFE and abnormal number of serum FLC ratio in MGRS subgroup were 12, 16, 23 and 30, respectively. Positive number of SPE, serum IFE, urine IFE and abnormal number of serum FLC ratio in MGUS subgroup were 11, 17, 6 and 3, respectively. MGRS and MGUS subgroups differed significantly in positive rate of serum IFE (P<0.001), as well as positive rate of urine IFE (P=0.02) and abnormal rate of serum FLC ratio (P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, total consistent rate of serum FLC ratio for diagnosis of MGRS were 93.8%, 82.4%, and 89.8% respectively. The sensitivity for diagnosing MGRS could be increased to 100% by combining serum FLC ratio and urine IFE. Conclusions: The significance of monoclonal gammopathy in patients with renal disease should be evaluated by renal pathology.On the premise of excluding lymphoplasmacytic malignancy, serum FLC ratio had promising diagnostic value for MGRS, which was helpful for differential diagnosis of patients who had contraindication to renal biopsy.

Characterization of tissue chromogranin A (CgA) immunostaining and clinicohistopathological changes for the 125 Chinese patients with primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Dis Esophagus 2017; 30:1-7.

Abstract
The rarity of primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus (PSCE) has limited the clinical feature and survival analysis with large sample size. Tissue chromogranin A (CgA) protein expression has been reported to be a useful biomarker for diagnosing PSCE. Interestingly, recent studies have indicated tissue CgA as a significant prognostic marker in multiple human cancers, but without PSCE. The present study, thus, was undertaken to characterize the clinicopathological changes and to evaluate the associations of tissue CgA expression with clinical response on Chinese PSCE patients. All the 125 PSCE patients were enrolled from our 500,000 esophageal and gastric cardia carcinoma databases (1973-2015), constructed by the cooperative team from more than 700 hospitals in China and established by Henan Key Laboratory for Esophageal Cancer Research in Henan, China. Immunostaining for CgA showed that CgA was mainly located in cytoplasm of tumor cells with a positive detection rate of 44.6%. The CgA positive expression rate in PSCE at lower segment of the esophagus (72.2%) was higher than that at middle segment (41.5%) (P = 0.001). However, CgA protein expression did not correlated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.767), TNM staging (P = 0.740), tumor invasion (P = 0.253), gender (P = 0.262), and age (P = 0.250). Multivariate survival analysis showed that the patients with higher CgA protein expression had a superior long survival than those without CgA expression (P = 0.037). The clinicopathological analysis showed that PSCE occurred predominantly in male (M:F = 1.9:1) at the middle segment (68%) of the esophagus. Histologically, 89.6% were pure PSCE and 10.4% were mixed type with either squamous cell carcinoma (8%) or adenocarcinoma (2.4%). It was noteworthy that, with the in-depth invasion from T1 to T2 and T3, the positive lymph node metastasis rate increased dramatically from 38%, 56% to 74%, respectively. The survival rates of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year were 64%, 35%, 18%, and 7%, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the young patients (≤60 years) had longer survival than the elderly (P = 0.011). Interestingly, multivariate survival analysis revealed that the patients with mixed PSCE had a significantly better survival than those with pure PSCE (P = 0.015). Furthermore, the median survival time for the patients with and without lymph node metastasis was 1.16 and 2.03 years, respectively. But, the difference was not significant (P = 0.143). Univariate analysis did not show any survival influence by gender, tumor location, tumor invasion depth, and TNM staging. It was noteworthy that, of the 13 early PSCE patients (T1N0M0), only one patient had more than 5 year survival, the others died with less than one or two year (65%). The present study indicates that the PSCE is of badly worsen prognosis, even in the pathological early stage. Tissue CgA protein expression is a promising maker not only for diagnosis and also for prognosis. Further assessment is needed to establish specific PSCE pathological staging system and to clarify the mechanisms of CgA protein in PSCE progression and prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics, surgical treatment outcomes and prognostic factors of hypopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS A retrospective review of the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University patients' database between January 2003 and June 2013 was conducted and a total of 386 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients' clinical and oncological information was collected and survival rates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Prognostic factors were evaluated with multivariate Cox model survival analysis. RESULTS Among the 386 patients 95.9% were males and 4.1% were females, with an average age of (58.4±9.4) years. The primary tumor sites were pyriform sinus (76.7%), posterior hypopharyngeal wall (17.3%) and postcricoid region (6.0%). There were 31(8.0%), 83(21.5%), 175(45.3%) and 97(25.1%) patients with stage T1 to T4, respectively, 99(25.6%), 74(19.2%), 181(46.9%) and 32(8.3%) patients with stage N0 to N3, respectively , and 3 patients with distant metastasis to lung on initial diagnosis. Second primary cancers were found in 28 cases (7.3%). The 5-year overall survival (OS), disease specific survival (DSS) and disease free survival (DFS) were 45.8%, 48.1% and 46.0% respectively according to Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Multivariate Cox regression model showed significant association between 5-year overall survival rate and T stage (P<0.001), N stage (P=0.003) and second primary tumors (P=0.017). Advanced T stage and lymphovascular invasion were associated with a higher rate of recurrence (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has a dismal prognosis, with high rates of submucosal infiltration, cervical lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. Treatment choices should be made according to TNM stage and overall health conditions in order to achieve ideal oncologic and functional results. Surgery with postoperative chemoradiation therapy is the main treatment for advanced-stage hypopharyngeal cancer.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between [F18] fluoro 2 deoxy d glucose ¹⁸F-FDG) uptake and oncogene expression in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) transplantation tumor.Method:Ten nude mice were randomly divided into two groups, 5 mice of each group. One group was injected subcutaneously with Hep-2 cells to establish xenograft model, and the other one was injected with HIF-RNAi-Hep-2 cells. All animals were conducted with positron emission tomography computed tomography PET scan. The average tumor T/N ratio was calculated. After PET scanning, tumor tissue was picked off for immunohistochemical examination.Result:The tumor imaging were both clear and there was no significant difference between these two groups (P> 0.05). The expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), glucose transporter protein-1 (GLUT-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were high in Hep-2 group. The expression of HIF-1α was lower in HIF-RNAi-Hep-2 group (P< 0.05). But there was no significant difference about the expression of GLUT-1 and VEGF between these two groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion:The oncogenic pathway activated in LSCC is related with the uptake of ¹⁸F-FDG. The glycolysis gene and vascular factor maybe play a critical role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Aberrant estrogen receptor-α (ERα) expression and signaling are implicated in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its regulation in HCC remains enigmatic. Herein, we aimed to identify a new mechanism by which ERα signaling is regulated in HCC, which may lead to a potential new strategy for HCC therapy. METHODS Expression levels of Erbin and ERα in human HCC samples were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. In vitro and in vivo experiments were used to assess the effect of Erbin and ERα signaling on HCC cell growth. Crosstalk between Erbin and ERα signaling was analyzed by molecular methods. Animal models of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) or DEN/CCl4-induced HCC in wild-type Erbin+/+ and mutant ErbinΔC/ΔC mice were observed. The regulatory effects of Erbin on tamoxifen treatment of HCC were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Erbin inactivated ERα signaling to drive tumorigenesis of HCC, acting to enhance binding of Chip to ERα via its interaction with ERα and thereby promoting ubiquitination and degradation of ERα. Deletion of the PDZ domain of Erbin in ErbinΔC/ΔC mice, disrupted the interaction of Chip and ERα, increased the stability of ERα protein, and thus inhibited tumorigenesis of HCC. Silencing of Erbin effectively sensitized the response of HCC after tamoxifen treatment in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our data uncovered an important role of Erbin in regulating HCC tumorigenesis through inactivating ERα-mediated tumor-suppressive signaling, suggesting a new strategy for tamoxifen therapy in HCC by targeting Erbin/ERα signaling axis. LAY SUMMARY Erbin expression is significantly elevated in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue. This elevated expression of Erbin contributes to tumorigenesis of HCC by negatively regulating ERα signaling. However, restoring ERα signaling by inhibiting Erbin expression enhances the sensitivity of HCC cells to tamoxifen treatment, providing a new approach for tamoxifen treatment in HCC.

Abstract
Inflammation is a key contributor to various types of acute and chronic liver disease. We recently reported that lack of Nur77, an orphan nuclear receptor, contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease and sepsis. However, whether Nur77 plays a critical role in liver inflammation remains to be fully understood. Employing in vivo acute liver inflammation model in wild-type (Nur77+/+) and Nur77-/- mice, we here found that Nur77 deficiency dramatically increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and accelerated liver injury induced by poly (I:C)/D-GalN in Nur77-/- mice. Mechanistically, Nur77 acts as a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling by inducing the expression of ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20, a novel target gene of Nur77. Notably, in inflammatory cells, overexpression of A20 enhanced, whereas knockdown of A20 by siRNA approach impaired, the inhibitory effect of Nur77 on poly (I:C)-triggered inflammation. Collectively, our data suggest that the orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 plays a protective role in poly (I:C)-triggered liver inflammation by inducing A20, thus making it a promising target for the prevention and treatment of liver inflammation.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate metformin's effect on chemosensitivity of chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil in laryngocarcinoma Hep-2 cells. Investigate the variation trend of protein expression of AMPK pathway in the combined effect.Method:Laryngocarcinoma Hep-2 cells were treated with different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil in vitro together with or without metformin for 72 h. Use MTT assay to investigate the influence on the inhibition rate to Hep-2 cells. Hep-2 cells were treated with cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil or paclitaxel with or without metformin. Use Western blot assay to investigate the expression level of AMPKα, P21 or Cyclin D1 protein. Result:5-fluorouracil and metformin could inhibit the proliferation of Hep-2 cells. 5-fluorouracil in low concentration combined with metformin could increase the proliferation inhibition rate of Hep-2 cells. In the circumstances of using 5-fluorouracil in high concentration with metformin , the cell proliferation inhibition rate of combining group makes no differences with the single-drug group. The combination of metformin and 5-fluorouracil produced an antagonism action in Hep-2 cells.Western blot assay showed that metformin, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil could have caused the increase of expression level of AMPK-α, P21 and Cyclin D1 in Hep-2 cells while Paclitaxel could have cause the decrease of expression level of Cyclin D1. Using combined drug could cause the change of protein expression. Conclusion:5-fluorouracil has been found to inhibit the proliferation of Hep-2 cells. Metformin has an antagonism on the anticancer effect to 5-fluorouracil in Hep-2 cells, and this antagonistic effect occurred partially through molecular signal pathways of AMPK-α, P21 and Cyclin D1 and it's significantly related to the cell cycle arrest.

(2) Meta-analysis results showed: compared with laparoscopic surgery in surgical staging of endometrial cancer, robotic surgery had less estimated blood loss [standard deviation (SD)=-72.31 ml, 95%CI:-107.29 to-37.33, P<0.01], less time for hospital stay (SD=-0.29 days, 95%CI:-0.46 to-0.13, P=0.001), less need for blood transfusion [risk ratio (RR)=0.57, 95%CI: 0.33 to 0.97, P=0.040], and conversion to open surgery (RR=0.41, 95%CI: 0.26 to 0.65, P=0.000), less intraoperative complications (RR=0.43, 95%CI: 0.24 to 0.76, P=0.004) in surgical staging of endometrial cancer. There was no statistically significant difference in aspects of operative time (SD=10.26 minutes, 95% CI:-13.62 to 34.13, P=0.400), postoperative complications (RR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.67 to 1.12, P=0.280), the total number of lymph nodes removed (SD=-0.04, 95% CI:-3.99 to 3.91, P=0.980), the number of pelvic lymph node dissection (SD=0.48, 95%CI:-1.76 to 2.71, P=0.680) and the number of para-aortic lymph node dissection (SD=0.46, 95%CI:-1.42 to 2.34, P=0.630). Conclusions: Compared the robotic surgery with laparoscopic surgery in surgical staging of endometrial cancer, robotic surgery has less estimated blood loss, less need for blood transfusion and conversion to open surgery, less intraoperative complications and other advantages. While its cost is so expensive that restrict clinical application.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the reconstruction methods of oropharyngeal defects after resection of tonsillar cancer by mandibular swing approach.Method:Twenty four cases of patients with tonsillar carcinoma hospitalized in our institution from January, 2010 to December, 2015 were analyzed. Based on the degree and extent of tissue defects, they were divided into three categories.①Small defects, including loss of tonsillar fossa and pharyngeal arches; ②Moderate defects, including small defects of soft palate or tongue root besides lateropharyngeal defects; ③Large defects, including large defects of soft palate and tongue root besides lateropharyngeal defects. The tissue defects of 8 patients belonged to small defects, of whom 4 cases were repaired with mid-thick skin and the others were restored by radial forearm flaps. There were 5 cases of patients with moderate oropharyngeal defects after surgery of tonsillar carcinoma. These defects were reconstructed by radial forearm flaps(2 cases) and anterolateral femoral skin flaps (3 cases) respectively, while the remaining large defects of 11 patients were renovated using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps(9 cases) and anterolateral femoral skin flaps(2 cases). Result:All the patients healed by first intention after surgery.Four transplanted skin grafts on the regions of small defects survived completely.5 cases of radial forearm flaps and anterolateral femoral skin flaps also survived well, whereas only one radial forearm flap suffered from vascular crisis leading to failure at 5 days postoperatively. The necrotic flaps were then removed by submaxillary space and oral cavity and the wounds were self-healed. The tissue defects were successfully repaired by pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps. Although the surgical wounds swelled, they were obviously relieved half a year later. In the tonsillar cancer patients encroached on soft palates, one occurred nasopharyngeal reflux and 3 spoke vaguely but understandably. The other patients' function of chewing, deglutition, respiration and speech were restored well. Conclusion:Small defects after resection by mandibular swing approach could be repaired by mid-thick skin or radial forearm flaps. Moderate defects of T3 tonsillar cancer could be restored using radial forearm flaps or anterolateral femoral skin flaps, while anterolateral femoral skin flaps or pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps could reconstructed the large defects of T3 or T4 tonsillar cancer.
