Background
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-Related Protein-1 (LRP-1) has been reported to involve in tumor development. However, its role in pancreatic cancer has not been elucidated. The present study was designed to evaluate the expression of LRP-1 in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cancer (PDAC) as well as its association with prognosis.Methods
Here, 478 pancreatic cancers were screened for suitable primary PDAC tumors. The samples were analyzed using qRT-PCR, western blotting, and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining as well as LRP-1 expression in association with clinicopathological features.Results
The relative LRP-1 mRNA expression was up-regulated in 82.3% (42/51) of the PDAC tumors and its expression (3.72?±?1.25) was significantly higher than that in pancreatic normal margins (1.0?±?0.23, P?<?0.05). This up-regulation was stage dependent (P?<?0.05). A similar pattern of LRP-1 protein expression was discovered (P?<?0.05). The high expression of LRP-1 in the PDAC tissues was strongly correlated with the low survival time (P?=?0.001), TNM classification (P?=?0.001), low differentiations status (P?=?0.001), lymphatic invasion (P?=?0.01) and Perineural Invasion (PNI) status (P?=?0.001).Conclusions
Our finding for the first time revealed that LRP-1 expression inversely associated with poor prognosis and PNI in PDAC tumor. 相似文献2.

Background
Serum prealbumin is a sensitive and stable marker for nutritional status and liver function. Whether preoperative prealbumin level is associated with long-term prognosis in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear.Methods
Patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between 2001 and 2014 at six institutions were enrolled. These patients were divided into the low and normal prealbumin groups using a cut-off value of 170 mg/L for preoperative prealbumin level. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared between them.Results
In 1483 patients, 437 (29%) had a low prealbumin level. The 3- and 5-year OS and RFS rates of patients in the low-prealbumin group were 57 and 31%, and 40 and 20%, respectively, which were significantly poorer than those in the normal-prealbumin group (76 and 43%, and 56 and 28%, respectively, both p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox-regression analyses revealed that preoperative prealbumin level was an independent predictor of OS (HR, 1.45, 95% CI: 1.24–1.70, p <0.001) and RFS (HR, 1.28, 95% CI: 1.10–1.48, p <0.001).Conclusions
Preoperative prealbumin level could be used in predicting long-term prognosis for patients undergoing liver resection for HCC. 相似文献4.

Background/Objectives
A breakthrough in chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) may be achieved using precision medicine, which involves identifying cases that are highly likely to respond to a certain treatment and then performing that treatment. BRCAness has been receiving attention as a novel predictor of anticancer drug sensitivity in PDAC, making the screening of BRCAness paramount.Methods
We conducted the first-ever examination of the feasibility of analyzing BRCAness using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples obtained via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) from 20 patients with the highest pancreatic carcinoma cell counts in tissue samples out of 40 consecutive PDAC patients who underwent EUS-FNAB at our hospital were analyzed by MLPA for BRCAness.Results
We were able to accurately analyze BRCAness in 75% of the 20 cases of PDAC using FFPE tissue obtained by EUS-FNAB. BRCAness was observed in one of the 20 cases.Conclusions
In PDAC, analyzing BRCAness by MLPA using FFPE tissue obtained by EUS-FNAB offers the remarkable benefit of yielding results in a short period of time and at a low cost. In addition, this method of BRCAness analysis may prove to be a feasible and effective approach for performing precision medicine. 相似文献5.

Background
Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a powerful predictor of recurrence in patients who undergo liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE) in HCC patients with MVI, and further select potential patients benefitting from PA-TACE.Methods
Patients who had HCC with MVI and underwent liver resection between September 2004 and December 2015 were identified for further analysis. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between patients treated with and without PA-TACE. Propensity score matching analysis was used to minimize inter-group differences.Results
A total of 176 patients with HCC and MVI were included. In both the entire and propensity-matched cohorts, OS and DFS were higher in PA-TACE group than non-TACE group (all P < 0.05). In subgroup analyses, PA-TACE showed efficacy in improving OS and DFS in HCC patients at early stage beyond Milan criteria and intermediate stage, but not in patients within Milan criteria. Multivariable analysis identified PA-TACE as a significantly favorable factor of OS and DFS for patients beyond Milan criteria, but not for those within Milan criteria.Conclusion
PA-TACE could be beneficial for patients who have HCC with MVI beyond Milan criteria, but not for those within Milan criteria. 相似文献6.

Objectives
This study aimed to use a retrospective data base to investigate whether a standard lymphadenectomy during distal pancreatectomy should include the No. 9 lymph nodes (LNs) for resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) located in the body and tail of the pancreas.Methods
Data from 169 patients undergoing curative distal pancreatectomy for PDAC between Jan 1, 2013 and Dec 31, 2016 were collected. According to the tumor location, patients were divided into three groups: pancreatic neck tumor, pancreatic body and tail tumor with margin-to-bifurcation-distance (MTBD)?≤?2.5?cm and pancreatic body and tail tumor with MTBD?>?2.5?cm. The metastatic rate of the No. 9 LNs was compared among the 3 groups. The survival outcomes were analyzed.Results
The involvement rate for No. 9 LNs was 20.7% (6/29) for pancreatic neck tumors, 17.6% (15/85) for body and tail tumors with MTBD?≤?2.5?cm and 1.8% (1/55) for MTBD?>?2.5?cm. The No. 9 LNs were significantly more frequently involved in neck or body and tail tumors with MTBD ≤2.5?cm than with the cases with MTBD >2.5?cm (OR 0.082, P?=?0.016). No. 9 LN involvement was not associated with worse survival compared with survival associated with involvement of other LNs (P?=?0.780).Conclusions
For PDAC located in the neck or in the body and tail of the pancreas with MTBD?≤?2.5?cm, the involvement rate for No. 9 LNs is high. Standard lymphadenectomy should include the No. 9 LNs. 相似文献7.

Background
While post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) accurately predicts short-term mortality, its role in prognosticating long-term overall survival (OS) remains unclear.Methods
Patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after portal vein embolization during 1999–2015 were evaluated retrospectively. PHLF was defined per International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS) criteria and as PeakBil >7 mg/dl. Survival was analyzed using log-rank statistic and Cox regression; patient mortality within 90 days was excluded.Results
Of 175 patients, 68 (39%) had PHLF according to ISGLS criteria, including 40 (23%) with ISGLS grade B/C, and 14 (8%) had PeakBil >7 mg/dl. Patients with PeakBil >7 mg/dl had significantly worse OS than patients without PHLF (median OS, 16 vs 58 months, p = 0.001). Patients with ISGLS defined PHLF (p = 0.251) and patients with ISGLS grade B/C PHLF (p = 0.220) did not have worse OS than patients without PHLF.Conclusion
Peak bilirubin >7 mg/dl impacts on long-term survival after hepatectomy for CRLM and is a better predictor of long-term survival than ISGLS-defined PHLF. 相似文献8.

Background
The benefit of preoperative chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) remains uncertain. The aim was to clarify the effect of preoperative chemotherapy on CRLM according to the primary tumor location.Methods
Among a total cohort of 163 patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for CRLM, 36 patients had a right-sided and 127 had a left-sided primary tumor. According to the performance of preoperative chemotherapy, survival analysis was conducted and prognostic factors were identified.Results
Preoperative chemotherapy was administered to 17 patients (47.2%) with a right-sided and 74 (58.3%) with a left-sided primary tumor (P = 0.24). Among the patients who received preoperative chemotherapy, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were similar between patients with right- and left-sided primary tumors (P = 0.36 and P = 0.44, respectively). Among the patients who underwent upfront hepatectomy, the OS and DFS of patients with a right-sided primary tumor were worse than those with a left-sided primary tumor (P = 0.02 and P = 0.025, respectively). Among the patients who underwent upfront surgery, the right-sided primary tumor was identified as an independent poor prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio 3.44, P = 0.021).Conclusion
The existence of a right-sided primary tumor may be an indication of preoperative chemotherapy for patients with CRLM. 相似文献9.

Background
This systematic review aimed to define the outcomes of different pancreatic resection procedures for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) associated pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs).Methods
A search of PubMed, MEDLINE and SCOPUS databases were performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.Results
Twenty-seven studies including 533 patients undergoing initial pancreatic resection for MEN1 associated pNENs were included in this systematic review. Three hundred and sixty-six (68.7%) distal pancreatectomies (DP), 120 (22.5%) sole enucleations (SE) and 47 (8.8%) pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD) were identified. SE was associated with a higher rate of recurrence than DP (25/67, 37% vs 40/190, 21% respectively, P?=?0.008) but a lower rate of endocrine insufficiency than PD (1/20, 5% vs 8/21, 38% respectively, P?=?0.010). A meta-analysis of major pancreatic resections (PD or DP) vs SE in 15 studies showed that SE is associated with an increased rate of recurrence (Major resection 42/184, 23% vs SE 20/53, 38% RR 0.65 CI 0.43–0.96?P?=?0.032) but reduced rate of postoperative endocrine insufficiency (Resection 37/93, 40% vs SE 0/24, 0% RR 7.37 CI 1.57–34.64?P?=?0.008). Similarly, insulinomas and functional pNENs overall had lower rates of recurrence and reoperation with major resection. There was no difference in the reoperation rates or survival outcomes after SE compared with major pancreatic resections at follow-up (pooled overall mean duration: 85 months).Conclusion
Major pancreatic resections for MEN1 associated pNENs have a lower risk of recurrence and a higher risk of postoperative endocrine insufficiency when compared to sole enucleation, but a similar rate of reoperation and survival. 相似文献10.

Background
Few studies have investigated the outcome of pancreatectomy associated with artery resection (PAR).Methods
Retrospective analysis of a cohort of operated borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients with surgically confirmed arterial involvement. Short and long-term outcome were analyzed and compared in patients who underwent PAR (Group 1) and palliative surgery (Group 2).Results
Of 73 patients who underwent surgical exploration with intent of resection, 34 underwent PAR (±venous resection) (Group 1) and 39 underwent palliation (Group 2). 23 patients (67.7%) in Group 1 underwent combined artery-vein resection (AVR). Operation time was longer and blood loss higher in group 1 compared to group 2. There were no differences in post-operative mortality (2.9% vs 2.6%, p = 0.9) and post-operative surgical complications (38.2% vs 25.6%, p = 0.2). The 1, 3 and 5 years survival in Group 1 was superior to Group 2 (63.7%, 23.4% and Q3 23.4% vs 41.7%, 3.2% and 0, p = 0.003).Conclusion
PAR seems to be safe and feasible in well selected patients and associated with an advantage of survival compared to palliation, in patients affected by locally advanced pancreatic cancer. 相似文献11.

Background
The clinicopathological and prognostic features of insulinoma with synchronous metastases are unclear. This study aimed to verify the distinct clinicopathological and prognostic features of insulinoma with synchronous distant metastasis.Methods
Patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNET) were retrospectively enrolled and divided into cohort 1 (Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center) and cohort 2 (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database). Both cohorts were further divided into three subgroups: insulinoma, nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NF-PanNET), and non-insulinoma functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NiF-PanNET).Results
Cohorts 1 and 2 comprised 505 and 2761 patients (1566 M0 patients and 1195 M1 patients), respectively. In cohort 1 and cohort 2 M0 subgroup, insulinoma showed longer disease-free survival, overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) than NiF-PanNET and NF-PanNET (not reached vs. 48 and 60months, p?<?0.001; 183months vs. 87 and 109months, p?<?0.001; 247months vs. 121 and 140months, p?=?0.002). However, in cohort 2 M1, the mDSS for metastatic insulinoma was shorter than that for NiF-PanNET (31months vs. 61months, p?=?0.045), while the mDSS and mOS were similar to those for NF-PanNET. The percentage of T1 and N0 patients was similar between the metastatic insulinoma subgroup and NiF-PanNET and NF-PanNET subgroups. The Ki-67 index and recurrence had a positive linear relationship only for NiF-PanNET and NF-PanNET (p?=?0.009).Conclusions
Insulinoma with synchronous metastasis showed clinicopathological and prognostic characteristics similar to those of NF-PanNET. Metastatic insulinoma had worse prognosis than non-insulinoma F-PanNET. These findings may help in the clinical management of metastatic insulinoma. 相似文献12.

Setting
Department of Microbiology.Objective
To determine the common mutations responsible for rifampicin resistance in TB cases detected by Xpert MTB/RIF assay.Design
Results of Xpert MTB/RIF assay performed from 2013 to 2017 were analysed for missing probes in different types of specimens containing rifampicin resistant MTB.Results
Successful results were obtained in14872 of the total 15129 specimens processed by Xpert MTB/RIF assay, of which 9458 (63.6%) were sputum and 5414 (36.4%) were extrapulmonary specimens. MTB was detected in 1624 (17.17%) sputum and 1121 (20.70%) extrapulmonary specimens of which 409 (25.18%) and 277 (24.71%) were rifampicin resistant respectively.Probe E (83.82%) was the commonest probe responsible for rifampicin resistance followed by D (3.93%) and B (3.79%). Mutation in probe C (0.29%) was very rare. Combination of missing probes like AB (0.73%), DE (1.16%) and ADE (0.14%) was observed. 22 (3.2%) specimens showed presence of all five probes.Conclusion
Xpert MTB/RIF assay uses various combinations of probe to detect MTB along with rifampicin resistance and is a valuable diagnostic tool. It can become a useful epidemiological tool to identify dynamics of transmission of TB by addition of few more probes to identify mutations at specific codons. 相似文献13.

Background
To determine the association between the number of patients with intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) treated annually at a treatment facility (volume) and overall survival (outcome).Methods
Patients with IHCC reported to the National Cancer Database (years 2004–2015) were included. We classified facilities by tertiles (T; mean IHCC patients treated/year): T1: <2.56; T2: 2.57–5.39 and T3: ≥5.40. Volume–outcome relationship was determined by using Cox regression adjusting for patient demographics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics, insurance type and therapy received.Results
There were 11,344 IHCC patients treated at 1106 facilities. On multivariable analysis, facility volume was independently associated with all-cause mortality (p < 0.001). The unadjusted median OS by facility volume was: T1: 5 months (m), T2: 8.1 m, and T3: 13.1 m (p < 0.001). Compared with patients treated at T3 facilities, patients treated at lower-tertile facilities had significantly higher risk of death [T2 hazard ratio (HR), 1.12 [95% CI, 1.05–1.23]; T1 HR, 1.21 [95% CI, 1.11–1.33]. Patients treated at high-volume centers were more likely to get surgery (34.6 vs 13.1%) and adjuvant therapy.Conclusion
IHCC patients treated at high-volume facilities had a significant improvement in OS and were more likely to receive surgery and adjuvant therapy as compared to that of patients at low-volume facilities. 相似文献14.

Background
Centralization of pancreatic resections is advocated due to a volume-outcome association. Pancreatic surgery is in Norway currently performed only in five teaching hospitals. The aim was to describe the short-term outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) within the current organizational model and to assess for regional disparities.Methods
All patients who underwent PD in Norway between 2012 and 2016 were identified. Mortality (90 days) and relaparotomy (30 days) were assessed for predictors including demographic data and multi-visceral or vascular resection. Aggregated length-of-stay and national and regional incidences of the procedure were also analysed.Results
A total of 930 patients underwent PD during the study period. In-hospital mortality occurred in 20 patients (2%) and 34 patients (4%) died within 90 days. Male gender, age, multi-visceral resection and relaparotomy were independent predictors of 90-day mortality. Some 131 patients (14%) had a relaparotomy, with male gender and multi-visceral resection as independent predictors. There was no difference between regions in procedure incidence or 90-day mortality. There was a disparity within the regions in the use of vascular resection (p = 0.021).Conclusion
The short-term outcomes after PD in Norway are acceptable and the 90-day mortality rate is low. The outcomes may reflect centralization of pancreatic surgery. 相似文献15.

Background
Information on young patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) and arrhythmic events (AEs) is limited.Objectives
The purpose of this study was to describe their characteristics and management as well as risk factors for AE recurrence.Methods
A total of 57 patients (age ≤20 years), all with BrS and AEs, were divided into pediatric (age ≤12 years; n = 26) and adolescents (age 13 to 20 years; n = 31).Results
Patients’ median age at time of first AE was 14 years, with a majority of males (74%), Caucasians (70%), and probands (79%) who presented as aborted cardiac arrest (84%). A significant proportion of patients (28%) exhibited fever-related AE. Family history of sudden cardiac death (SCD), prior syncope, spontaneous type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG), inducible ventricular fibrillation at electrophysiological study, and SCN5A mutations were present in 26%, 49%, 65%, 28%, and 58% of patients, respectively. The pediatric group differed from the adolescents, with a greater proportion of females, Caucasians, fever-related AEs, and spontaneous type-1 ECG. During follow-up, 68% of pediatric and 64% of adolescents had recurrent AE, with median time of 9.9 and 27.0 months, respectively. Approximately one-third of recurrent AEs occurred on quinidine therapy, and among the pediatric group, 60% of recurrent AEs were fever-related. Risk factors for recurrent AE included sinus node dysfunction, atrial arrhythmias, intraventricular conduction delay, or large S-wave on ECG lead I in the pediatric group and the presence of SCN5A mutation among adolescents.Conclusions
Young BrS patients with AE represent a very arrhythmogenic group. Current management after first arrhythmia episode is associated with high recurrence rate. Alternative therapies, besides defibrillator implantation, should be considered. 相似文献16.

Background
Post-operative peripancreatic fluid collection (PFC) is a common complication following pancreatic resection which can be managed with endoscopic or percutaneous drainage.Methods
Patients who underwent either endoscopic or percutaneous drainage of post-operative PFC were extracted from a prospectively-maintained database. The two groups were matched for surgery type, presence of a surgical drain and timing of drainage.Results
Thirty-nine matched patients were identified in each group with a median age of 62 years. For primary drainage, technical success was achieved in almost all patients in both endoscopic and percutaneous groups (100% and 97%, p = NS); clinical success was achieved in 67% and 59%, respectively (p = 0.63). At least one “salvage” drainage procedure was required in 13 endoscopic patients versus 16 in the percutaneous group. Clinical success was achieved following the first salvage. Procedure in 85% of the endoscopic patients and 88% of the percutaneous patients (p = 0.62). Stent/drain duration (59 vs 33 days, p < 0.001) and number of post-procedural CT studies (2 vs 1, p = 0.02) were significantly higher in the endoscopic group. There was no difference in length of stay, complication, or recurrence between the two groups.Conclusion
Endoscopic drainage of post-operative PFC appears to be safe and effective with comparable success rates and outcomes to percutaneous drainage. 相似文献17.

Background
Long-term effects of complications in pancreatic surgery have not been systematically evaluated. The objectives were to assess potential effects of complications on survival and patient reported outcomes (PROs) as well as feasibility of PRO questionnaires in patients with periampullary and pancreatic tumors.Methods
From October 2008 to December 2011, 208 patients undergoing pancreatic surgery were included in a prospective observational study. ESAS, EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-PAN26 questionnaires were completed at inclusion, then every third month. Complications were recorded according to the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI).Results
148 complications were registered in 100 patients (48%), 36 patients (17%) had CD IIIa or above. 125 patients (60%) completed baseline questionnaires, 80 (39%) responded after three and 54 (28%) after six months. Complications were associated with reduced long-term survival in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (p = 0.049) and other malignant diseases. No significant relationship was found between complications and PROs, except for anxiety, which was significantly increased in patients with complications.Conclusion
Postoperative complications led to increased anxiety at 3 months after surgery and were associated with reduced long-term survival in patients with malignancy. A short, patient derived, disease specific questionnaire is required in the clinical research context. 相似文献18.

Objective
Chemerin, an adipokine, works as the chemoattractant for the immune cells. The role of chemerin in the inflammatory reaction is controversial. Chemerin has been shown to aggravate the inflammatory response, but other studies demonstrated its anti-inflammatory influence. This study assessed the effects of chemerin on acute pancreatitis (AP) in vivo and in vitro.Methods
For in vivo experiments male Wistar rats were used. For in vitro study rat pancreatic AR42J cells were employed. Chemerin (1, 5 or 10?μg/kg) was given to the rats prior to the induction of AP by subcutaneous caerulein infusion (25?μg/kg). For in vitro studies cells were subjected to caerulein (10?nM) with or without chemerin (100?nM). Serum amylase activity was measured by enzymatic method, serum TNFα concentration - by ELISA kit. Western-blot was used to examine cellular proteins.Results
AP was confirmed by histological examination. Chemerin given to AP rats decreased histological manifestations of AP, reduced serum amylase activity and TNFα concentration. In AR42J cells subjected to caerulein with addition of chemerin signal for TNFα was reduced comparing to the cultures treated with caerulein alone. Analysis of the dynamics of nuclear translocation for p50, p65 and Bcl-3 points out to NF-κB attenuation as a mechanism of observed anti-inflammatory action of chemerin.Conclusion
Chemerin significantly alleviated severity of AP in the rat, this is possibly due to the inhibition of pro-inflammatory signaling in the pancreatic cells. 相似文献19.

Background
Patients with mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation (AF) require anticoagulation for stroke prevention. Thus far, all studies on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have excluded patients with moderate to severe mitral stenosis.Objectives
The aim of this study was to validate the efficacy of DOACs in patients with mitral stenosis.Methods
The study population was enrolled from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) database in the Republic of Korea, and it included patients who were diagnosed with mitral stenosis and AF and either were prescribed DOACs for off-label use or received conventional treatment with warfarin. The primary efficacy endpoint was ischemic strokes or systemic embolisms, and the safety outcome was intracranial hemorrhage.Results
A total of 2,230 patients (mean age 69.7 ± 10.5 years; 682 [30.6%] males) were included in the present study. Thromboembolic events occurred at a rate of 2.22%/year in the DOAC group, and 4.19%/year in the warfarin group (adjusted hazard ratio for DOAC: 0.28; 95% confidence interval: 0.18 to 0.45). Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 0.49% of the DOAC group and 0.93% of the warfarin group (adjusted hazard ratio for DOAC: 0.53; 95% confidence interval: 0.22 to 1.26).Conclusions
In patients with AF accompanied with mitral stenosis, DOAC use is promising and hypothesis generating in preventing thromboembolism. Our results need to be replicated in a randomized trial. 相似文献20.
