A novel CDKN1A-JAZF1 gene fusion in low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma arising from endometriosis in abdominal wall cesarean section scar: A case report and literature review

ObjectiveWe report a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) with a novel CDKN1A-JAZF1 fusion gene arising from abdominal wall endometrioma.Case reportA 40-year-old woman presented with a 5.5-cm abdominal wall mass juxtaposed to the postoperative scar of two cesarean sections. Histologically, the tumor exhibited obvious tongue-like protrusions into the surrounding tissue, showed spindle cells with multinodular growth pattern that occasionally rotate around small arteries. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CD10, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), negatively stained for smooth muscle actin (SMA), CD117, CyclinD1. In addition, a previously undescribed gene fusion between CDNK1A 5′ end of exon 1(NM_000389.5) and JAZF1 3′ end of exon 5 (NM_175,061,3) was reported in this case.ConclusionThis report of ESS suggesting that rapidly growing abdominal wall masses without menstruation-related should be promptly evaluated and treated aggressively. In addition, we have expanded the molecular landscape of low-grade ESS.

目的：探讨二补助育汤对胚胎着床障碍模型小鼠子宫内膜形态及血管生成素-1（Ang-1）mRNA、血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）mRNA的表达和定位的影响。方法：24只ICR雌性小鼠随机分为空白组、模型组、戊酸雌二醇组、二补助育汤组，每组6只，用米非司酮建立胚胎着床障碍动物模型，各组给予相应药物灌胃，妊娠第5天处死小鼠后，检测各组妊娠率、平均着床位点数、子宫内膜Ang-1和VEGF mRNA表达量及其蛋白定位。结果：模型组小鼠平均胚胎着床位点数、Ang-1 mRNA、VEGF mRNA表达量明显低于空白组（均P<0.05）；与模型组比较，二补助育汤组平均胚胎着床位点数、Ang-1 mRNA、VEGF mRNA表达量显著提高（均P<0.05）。结论：二补助育汤可提高子宫内膜Ang-1和VEGF蛋白表达量，促进子宫内膜血管生成，从而提高子宫内膜容受性。     

TGF-β、PD-L1及PI3K蛋白在胃癌组织中的表达及临床意义北大核心

目的:检测胃癌组织中TGF-β、PD-L1及PI3K的表达情况,并探讨TGF-β、PD-L1及PI3K表达的临床意义。方法:收集2017年01月至2018年01月我院74例接受过胃癌根治术且组织学证实为胃腺癌患者的病例蜡块标本。采用免疫组织化学法检测其中TGF-β、PD-L1以及PI3K的表达情况,分析其与临床病理参数之间的关系及三者在胃癌组织中表达的相关性,并分析其与胃癌患者预后生存之间的关系。结果:胃癌组织中TGF-β、PD-L1、PI3K阳性率高于癌旁组织,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);胃癌组织中TGF-β的表达与淋巴结转移、临床TNM分期有关(P<0.05),与年龄、性别、分化程度、浸润程度、肿瘤直径无显著相关性(P>0.05);胃癌组织中PD-L1和PI3K的表达与肿瘤浸润程度、淋巴结转移、临床TNM分期有关(P<0.05),与年龄、性别、分化程度、肿瘤直径无显著相关性(P>0.05);在胃癌组织中,TGF-β与PD-L1的表达呈正相关(P<0.05),TGF-β与PI3K的表达呈正相关(P<0.05),PI3K与PD-L1的表达呈正相关(P<0.05)。Kaplan-Meier生存分析提示,与TGF-β、PD-L1、PI3K阴性相比,TGF-β、PD-L1、PI3K阳性表达的患者总生存期明显缩短(P<0.05)。结论:胃癌组织中存在TGF-β、PD-L1以及PI3K的高表达,并且TGF-β、PD-L1、PI3K的表达与淋巴结转移、临床TNM分期密切相关,三者可能参与胃癌的发生、发展和转移,且高表达患者的预后情况较差。     

解偶联蛋白1基因多态性与2型糖尿病心脑血管并发症的相关性

目的探讨解偶联蛋白1(UCP1)基因多态性与2型糖尿病(T2DM)心脑血管并发症的相关性。方法选取2019年7月—2020年7月住院治疗的T2DM 440例,根据有无心脑血管并发症分为观察组(T2DM合并心脑血管并发症)221例和对照组(单纯T2DM)219例。比较两组一般资料,UCP1在rs45539933、rs10011540及rs1800592位点的基因型分布与等位基因频率;通过多因素Logistic回归分析评估T2DM发生心脑血管事件的危险因素。结果观察组病程长于对照组,糖化血红蛋白水平高于对照组,而血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平低于对照组(P<0.01)。观察组C/C基因型分布及C碱基频率均高于对照组(P<0.05)。C/C基因型是T2DM患者发生心脑血管并发症的危险因素(P<0.05)。结论UCP1基因多态性与T2DM心脑血管并发症的发生显著相关。     

HBV-ACLF患者血清miR-122和 HMGB1水平及其与病情、预后的关系

[摘要]　目的　探究HBV相关慢加急性肝衰竭（HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure, HBV-ACLF）患者血清中微小核糖核酸（microRNA, miR）-122和高迁移率族蛋白1（high-mobility group box-B1, HMGB1）水平及其与病情、预后的关系。方法　回顾性分析2016年1月—2018年1月我院收治的120例HBV-ACLF患者的一般及临床资料。根据临床结局，将患者分为存活组（53例）和死亡组（67例）。比较2组患者的一般资料、实验室检查指标及血清miR-122、HMGB1水平。多因素Logistic回归分析影响患者预后的因素。Pearson检验分析miR-122、HMGB1水平分别与TBIL、PA、终末期肝病评分模型（the model of end-stage liver disease score, MELD）评分的相关性。ROC曲线分析miR-122和HMGB1水平对患者的死亡预测价值，获得最佳临界值。根据临界值将患者分为A组、B组和C组，用Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线，比较3组患者在3年随访期间的生存率。结果　存活组和死亡组患者的年龄、身体质量指数、并发症、病情分期、MELD评分、ALB、球蛋白、TBIL、ALT、AST、LDH、PT、PTA、HBV DNA、miR-122、HMGB1相比，差异均具有统计学意义（P均＜0.05）。年龄、并发症、病情分期、MELD评分、TBIL、PT、PTA、miR-122、HMGB1均是影响患者预后的危险因素（P均＜0.05）。miR-122、HMGB1水平分别与TBIL、MELD评分呈显著正相关，与PTA呈显著负相关（P均＜0.05）。miR-122和HMGB1预测患者死亡的最佳临界值分别为31.42和14.56 μg/L。A组患者预后3年内生存率显著高于B组和C组（P均＜0.05）。结论　miR-122和HMGB1水平与HBV-ACLF患者的病情和死亡预后密切相关，可间接反映患者的病情严重程度，在HBV-ACLF的诊断及预后中具有重要价值。     

The Cost-Effectiveness of Intermediate-Acting,Long-Acting,Ultralong-Acting,and Biosimilar Insulins for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review

ObjectivesThe incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus is increasing every year requiring substantial expenditure on treatment and complications. A systematic review was conducted on the cost-effectiveness of insulin formulations, including ultralong-, long-, or intermediate-acting insulin, and their biosimilar insulin equivalents.MethodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, HTA, and NHS EED were searched from inception to June 11, 2021. Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses were included if insulin formulations in adults (≥ 16 years) with type 1 diabetes mellitus were evaluated. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full-text articles, extracted study data, and appraised their quality using the Drummond 10-item checklist. Costs were converted to 2020 US dollars adjusting for inflation and purchasing power parity across currencies.ResultsA total of 27 studies were included. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios ranged widely across the studies. All pairwise comparisons (11 of 11, 100%) found that ultralong-acting insulin was cost-effective compared with other long-acting insulins, including a long-acting biosimilar. Most pairwise comparisons (24 of 27, 89%) concluded that long-acting insulin was cost-effective compared with intermediate-acting insulin. Few studies compared long-acting insulins with one another.ConclusionsLong-acting insulin may be cost-effective compared with intermediate-acting insulin. Future studies should directly compare biosimilar options and long-acting insulin options and evaluate the long-term consequences of ultralong-acting insulins.
