Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal administration of recombinant human indentation in gastric cancer with malignant ascites. Methods: Clinical data of 90 patients (37 in an Endostar® combined with cisplatin group and 53 in a cisplatin group) were retrospectively analyzed. The primary end point was overall survival, and the secondary end points were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and so on. Results: Median overall survival was longer in the combination group (9.7 vs 8.1 months; p = 0.01). ORR and DCR were higher in the combination group (ORR: 75.7% vs 54.7%; p = 0.04; DCR: 94.6% vs 75.5%; p = 0.02). There were no significant differences in adverse effects between the two groups. Conclusion: Intraperitoneal administration of recombinant human indentation improved efficacy and survival for gastric cancer with ascites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the optimal volume of peritoneal effusion required to diagnose malignant ascites. PATIENTS AND METHODS The authors recruited 123 patients with shifting dullness and obtained 123 peritoneocentesis fluid samples. The samples were divided into seven aliquots of 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mL for cytopathological examination. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV) were calculated for each aliquot. RESULTS The sensitivity for the diagnosis of malignant ascites gradually increased as the sample volume increased and reached a constant value at a volume of 200 mL. The sensitivity and NPV for the 10-, 100-, and 150-mL volumes were significantly different from those for the 200-mL sample. However, the sensitivity and NPV for the 250- and 300-mL volumes were not significantly different. The sensitivity for the diagnosis of malignant ascites is closely related to the volume of peritoneal fluid that is extracted by peritoneocentesis. CONCLUSION We suggest a volume of 200 mL as the optimal minimum volume to confirm malignant ascites in patients with shifting dullness.

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is now the treatment of choice in cases of pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis, especially in the absence of luminal bulging and in patients with portal hypertension. Malignant refractory ascites usually heralds a poor prognosis and substantially impairs the quality of life of patients because of the symptoms experienced and the need for repeated paracentesis. EUS-guided placement of lumen-apposing, fully covered, self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMS) has been reported for the drainage of malignant ascites. Herein, we present the results of EUS-guided placement of plastic pigtails stents for the drainage of refractory malignant ascites in three patients. The aim was to improve symptoms and minimize the possible drawbacks of large-caliber FCSEMS. In this preliminary experience, EUS-guided placement of plastic stents was feasible and avoided further paracentesis.

Abstract
Aquaporin 1 (AQP1), which is a water channel protein, has been demonstrated to have an important role in cell proliferation and migration of various cancers. However, its specific role in ovarian cancer remains to be elucidated. The present study demonstrated that AQP1 expression was elevated in the majority of patients with ovarian cancer compared with normal ovarian tissues. In addition, a short interfering (si)RNA targeting AQP1 was established, and transfected into the SKOV3 ovarian cancer cell line, to investigate the effects on cell viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion in the ovarian cancer cells using an MTT assay, flow cytometry, wound healing and Transwell invasion chamber assays, respectively. The results of the present study demonstrated that siRNA targeting AQP1 effectively downregulated AQP1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels, markedly suppressed cell viability, migration and invasion and promoted apoptosis of ovarian cancers cells. These results suggested that AQP1 may serve as a novel target for ovarian cancer treatment in the future.

Abstract
Background Adiponectin receptor-1 (AdipoR1) has been reported to be associated with the risk of obesity-associated malignancies, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The aim of this study was to determine if AdipoR1 could serve as a prognosis indicator for patients with EOC. Material/Methods In this study, expression of AdipoR1 in 73 EOC patients consecutively admitted to our hospital was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the relationship between AdipoR1 expression level and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates in patients. Results A relatively lower expression of AdipoR1 in the cancerous tissues was detected compared to normal ovarian tissues, but the difference was not significant (p>0.05). AdipoR1 expression level in EOC patients was negatively correlated with advanced FIGO stages in patients and tumor differentiation, but had no correlation with pathological types, presenting of ascites, shorter platinum-free interval (PFI), diabetes, preoperative and postoperative body mass index (BMI), or platelet counts (p>0.05). Moreover, patients with AdipoR1 expression had a significantly longer PFS and OS compared to the negative expression group (p<0.001). Conclusions Our findings suggest that AdipoR1 expression level in cancerous tissues might serve as an independent prognostic indicator in EOC patients and is associated with longer PFS and OS.

Abstract
Backgrounds Intra-abdominal placement of the Central Venous Catheter (CVC) was conducted to manage the ascites-related symptoms of non-ovarian cancer patients. The aim of this study is to document the efficacy of symptom relief and conduct survival analysis of non-ovarian cancer patients with malignant ascites who received paracentesis and indwelling catheter drainage. Methods Seventy eight patients received paracentesis and drainage. All patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. The overall survival (OS) was defined as the interval between initial diagnosis and death. Since-paracentesis survival (SP-Survival) was defined as the interval between initial paracentesis and death. Results Hepatic cancer was the most frequent original cancer in this study. Peritoneal catheters remained in situ for a median of 13 days. No immediate complications, such as perforation of a viscus or excessive bleeding, were encountered during placement. All ascites-related symptoms improved after drainage compared with the baseline. There was a statistically significant improvement in the mean score for abdominal swelling (p < 0.001), anorexia (p = 0.023) and constipation (p = 0.045). Cancer type was shown to be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival length (p = 0.001). Serum albumin was an independent prognostic factor for SP-survival (p = 0.02). Conclusions Paracentesis and indwelling catheter drainage through CVC set is a useful method for improving painful symptom. Further research is needed to validate the findings.

Abstract
Malignant ascites, occurring in advanced stages of cancer, is linked with poor prognosis and can cause invalidating symptoms. Physiopathological mechanisms of ascites formation are complex and have yet to be fully elucidated. In most cases, ascites is due to peritoneal carcinomatosis in which vascular permeability is enhanced by VEGF production while lymphatic drainage decreases. Ascites can also be secondary to portal hypertension, for example in case of multiple liver metastases, or due to lymphatic obstruction. While paracentesis and diuretics are commonly used, their efficiency has never been compared in a randomized controlled study. Paracentesis brings immediate but temporary relief in over 90% of cases, and implies multiple hospitalizations. Literature reports ascites control by aldosterone alone or in association with furosemide. But, available data is controversial, and there is no predictive factor to identify patients that respond to diuretic treatment. The indication of diuretic treatment is left to the appreciation of physicians. Existing recommendations are old, and practices influenced by results obtained in non-neoplastic ascites. Additional evidences are required before guidelines can be established for the palliative management of malignant ascites.

Abstract
Endostar, a modified recombinant human endostatin, inhibits the growth of a variety of tumors by suppressing neovascularization. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has an important role in malignant ascites formation. In order to determine whether Endostar can suppress the formation of ascites and prolong survival times, mouse models of malignant ascites were established using S180 and H22 tumor cells. The experimental mice were randomly divided into four groups: The three treatment groups received different doses of Endostar (4, 8 and 16 mg/kg), and the control group received 0.9% w/v NaCl. The volume of ascites, and the tumor cell, red blood cell (RBC), VEGF protein and mRNA content of the ascites was measured alongside the peritoneal permeability and the mouse survival time. In vitro analysis of cultured Endostar-treated S180 and H22 cells was also performed in order to examine cellular proliferation and the level of VEGF secreted protein and mRNA. The results revealed that Endostar suppressed the ascites volume, decreased the level of tumor cells, RBCs and VEGF in the ascites fluid, and lowered the permeability of the peritoneum. The tumor cells collected from the ascites in the Endostar-treated mice demonstrated a decrease in the expression of VEGF mRNA. The survival rates of the 8 and 16 mg/kg Endostar-treated mice were longer than those of the controls. The in vitro experiments revealed a significant inhibition of VEGF protein secretion and VEGF mRNA by Endostar, but no effect on cellular proliferation. In conclusion, Endostar lowers ascites production by downregulating VEGF expression, and may therefore be effective for the treatment of malignant ascites.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish a simple method for estimating residual peritoneal ascites in order to determine the optimum verapamil (VRP) initial concentration in the intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy. METHODS (1) Pelvic size of adults was assessed by measuring distance from the superior margin of pubic symphysis to the connecting line of two anterior superior spine (SL) and to the midpoint of the line (SM) in 172 adults; (2) 35 postoperative gastric or colon cancer patients with indications for use of preventive intraperitoneal chemotherapy were infused with 1,000-1,250 mL 0.9 % normal saline solution for about 15 min and used for perfusate detection by moving along the midpoint of connecting line of two anterior superior spine after 5 min of infusion; (3) The VRP concentration in ascites was detected by liquid chromatography. RESULTS The distance between two anterior superior spines for adult were 29.6 ± 2.6 cm and the distance from the superior margin of pubic symphysis to the midpoint between two anterior superior spines was 10.6 ± 1.9 cm. When the total intraperitoneal infusion fluid was 1,000-1,250 mL, it could be detected by B-mode ultrasonic device at 0.1-0.3 cm directly below the midpoint of two anterior superior spines. The VRP reversal concentration of drug resistance could maintain for 90 min when the residual ascites volume was within the range of 1,000-1,250 mL. CONCLUSIONS Detection of liquid at the position directly below or above the midpoint of two anterior superior spines by B-mode ultrasonic device in patients in erect position could be a simple method for estimation of ascites volume (liquid found at 0.1-0.3 cm directly below the midpoint of two anterior superior spines suggested that ascites volume was smaller than 1,000-1,250 mL). The method could be used for determination of VRP initial concentration for IPC treatment.
