The intricate involvement of Rho GTPases in a multitude of human malignancies and their diverse array of biological functions has garnered substantial attention within the scientific community. However, their expression pattern and potential role in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In this study, we successfully identified two distinct subtypes associated with Rho GTPase-related gene (RGG) through consensus clustering analysis, which exhibited significant disparities in overall survival and the tumor microenvironment. Subsequently, an extensively validated risk model termed RGGscore was meticulously constructed to prognosticate the outcomes of GC patients. This model was further assessed and validated using an external cohort. Notably, the high RGGscore group was indicative of a poorer prognosis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses unveiled the RGGscore as an autonomous prognostic indicator for GC patients. Subsequent external validation, utilizing two cohorts of patients who underwent immunotherapy, demonstrated a significant correlation between a low RGGscore and improved response to immunotherapy. Additionally, the expression levels of three genes associated with RGGscore were examined using qRT-PCR. Taken together, a pioneering RGGscore model has been successfully established, showcasing its potential efficacy in offering valuable therapeutic guidance for GC.

Objective To evaluate the value of hand assisted laparoscopic radical resection for distal gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with advanced gastric cancer from August 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 30 patients underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery, 25 patients underwent open surgery, and 25 patients underwent laparoscopic assisted surgery. The operative time, bleeding volume, number of recected lymph nodes, time to postoperative exhaust, postoperative complications, length of hospitalization, hospitalization expenses, length of incision and so on were compared among the three groups. The data were analyzed with SPSS 21.0 software. Measurement data are expressed as mean±standard deviation. ANOVA was used to compare measurement data, and the chi square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare count data. P<0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant. Results There was no significant difference in the number of recected lymph nodes, postoperative hospitalization expenses, or postoperative complications among the three groups (P>0.05). The hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery group, laparoscopy assisted surgery group, and open surgery group had significantly different operative time [(186.30±15.27) min vs (230.80±17.06) min vs (183.36±16.03) min] , intraoperative bleeding volume [(93.33±46.86) mL vs (98.80±55.10) mL vs (246.80±92.90) mL] , time to postoperative exhaust [(2.3±0.6) d vs (2.42±0.44) d vs (3.04±0.56) d] , length of stay [(8.90±1.19) d vs (9.40±1.44) d vs (10.92±1.73) d] , and incision length [(7.97±0.49) cm vs (8.04±0.61) cm vs (24.04±2.11) cm] (P<0.001 for all). The length of incision, blood loss, time to postoperative exhaust, and hospital stay were significantly lower in the hand-assisted laparoscopic operation group and laparoscopically assisted operation group than in the open operation group (P<0.001). The operative time was significantly shorter in the hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery group and laparotomy group than in the laparoscopically assisted operation group (P<0.001). Conclusion Hand assisted laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is safe and feasible, can achieve the radical effect of open surgery for tumor resection and lymph node dissection, and does not increase the economic burden of patients. Hand assisted laparoscopic surgery has the advantages of less intraoperative bleeding, faster postoperative recovery, and shorter operative time than laparoscopic assisted surgery. Key words: Hand assisted laparoscopy; Laparoscopy assisted; Traditional laparotomy; Advanced gastric cancer
Objective To explore the influence of laparoscopic totally external inguinal hernia repair (TEP) on the blood supply and function of the testicle in male patients.Methods There were 34 male patients with unilateral inguinal hernia using TEP method,the blood test and ultrasound for reproductive system of patients were conducted on the day before operation,the 4th and the 24th week after operation respectively in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from April 2013 to April 2014.The indexes included the WBC in blood routine,the concentration of serum testosterone,the testicular temperature,the testicular volume (TV),the diameter of testicular artery [the systolic peak of blood flow velocity (PSV),the end-diastolic blood flow velocity (EDV)],the resistance index (RI) in testicular artery and the diameter and flow velocity of spermatic vein and so on.Results All the 34 cases were successfully operated,but there were two cases lost follow-up at the 24th weeks after the operation,the data of the other patients was collected.The WBC at the 4th week after operation was higher than that of the day before operation (P < 0.05),but there was no statistical significant difference between the WBC at the 24th week after operation and the day before operation (P > 0.05).The concentration of serum testosterone at the day before operation and the 4th week after operation did not exist significant difference (P > 0.05),the same condition also existed at the day before operation and the 24th week after operation (P > 0.05);there were no statistical significant differences in the data of the testicular temperature,the testicular volume,the diameter of testicular artery,the diameter and flow velocity of spermatic vein and so on in the affected side among the day before operation,the 4th week and the 24th week after operation (P > 0.05);all the data also did not exist statistical significant difference between the affected side and the unaffected side at the day before operation,the 4th week and the 24th week after operation (P > 0.05).Conclusions The TEP operation is safe and viable,and it has no significant influence on the blood supply and function of the testicle in male patients.

BACKGROUND & AIM:Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. We have invented a novel hand-assist device that allows the placement of surgical instruments and the maneuvering of the surgeon's hand, and we have established a new hand-assisted laparoscopic technique called Three United Laparoscopic Surgery (TULS) for laparoscopic dissection of advanced gastric cancer. The present study aimed at exploring the usefulness of TULS in the treatment of advanced gastric cardia cancer. METHOD:A retrospective study on 100 patients with advanced gastric cardia cancer admitted from January 2014 to June 2015 was done. There were 38 cases of TULS, 30 cases of laparotomy, and 32 cases of laparoscopy-assisted surgery. Statistical comparisons between three treatment groups in operative time, incision length, amount of bleeding, number of lymph nodes dissected, time to flatus after surgery, rate of postoperative complications, hospital stay, and expense were done. RESULTS:For lymph node dissection, there were no significant differences between TULS, laparotomy, and laparoscopy-assisted surgery. However, compared with conventional laparotomy, TULS and laparoscopy-assisted surgery were found to be able to minimize incision length, reduce blood loss during surgery, lower postoperative complication rate, and shorten time to flatus and hospital stay. The differences were statistically significant (P < .05). The operative time of TULS was significantly shorter than that of the laparoscopy-assisted surgery (P < .05), and it was comparable to that of laparotomy. CONCLUSION:TULS is as efficient as laparotomy in lymph node dissection, and it shows the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. It can be considered a novel and promising surgical intervention for treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-126 in human colon cancer cells and its effect on drug resistance. Methods Forty five cases of colon cancer tissues, para-carcinoma tissues and 30 cases of normal colon tissues were collected from July 2010 to August 2013 in Department of Oncology of our hospital. By detecting miR-126 expression levels using fluorescent PCR, culturing HCT116 cells in vitro, suppressing the expression of miR-126 by transfecting the suppressing sequence, we studied the drug resistance effect of miR-126 in HCT116 cells. Results The positive rate of miR-126 expression in colon cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in para-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues(P 0.05); moreover, this rate in para-carcinoma tissues was also lower than that in normal tissues, but the difference was not significant(P 0.05). No significant differences of miR-126 expression in age, gender, differentiation,and, tumor size were observed(P 0.05), but miR-126 expression was found to be associated with lymph node metastasis, Dukes′staging and clinical staging; the differences among miR-126 expression levels was also significant(P 0.05).In 0, 5, 10,20 mg/L oxaliplatin medium, cancer cell activity(absorbance) in miR-126 positive group was significantly lower than in miR-126 negative group(P 0.05). Conclusion The positive expression of miR-126 in colon cancer tissues is relatively low, whereas this positive expression can reduce drug resistance of cancer cells and is beneficial to the treatment of colon cancer.

Recent data support the role of S100A10 in tumorigenesis. In this study, we evaluated the value of S100A10 positivity as a possible biomarker in colorectal cancer. We evaluated S100A10 positivity by immunohistochemistry in a large population of colorectal cancer patients ( n = 882). The relationships between S100A10 positivity and clinicopathological features and clinical outcome were analyzed. There were 36 % (319/882) tumors positive for S100A10 in all colorectal cancer samples. In contrast, normal colorectal epithelium was negative for S100A10 among all 562 specimens of adjacent normal mucosa. S100A10 positivity was correlated with poor differentiation ( p = 0.0012) and disease stage ( p = 0.003). S100A10 positivity was significantly correlated with shortened specific [log-rank p < 0.001; multivariate hazard ratio (HR), 1.49; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.09–2.04] and overall survival (log-rank p = 0.0012; multivariate HR, 1.34; 95 % CI, 1.06–1.73). Knockdown of S100A10 by siRNA significantly reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of colorectal cancer cell lines. Our results suggest a role for S100A10 as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target in colorectal cancer.
