Hearing loss is one of the most common human diseases, seriously affecting everyday lives. Mitochondria, as the energy metabolism center in cells, are also involved in regulating active oxygen metabolism and mediating the occurrence of inflammation and apoptosis. Mitochondrial defects are closely related to hearing diseases. Studies have shown that mitochondrial DNA mutations are one of the causes of hereditary hearing loss. In addition, changes in mitochondrial homeostasis are directly related to noise-induced hearing loss and presbycusis. This review mainly summarizes and discusses the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy on hearing loss. Subsequently, we introduce the recent research progress of targeted mitochondria therapy in the hearing system.
Abstract Background It is well known that decision aids can promote patients’ participation in decision-making, increase patients’ decision preparation and reduce decision conflict. The goal of this study is to explore the effects of a “Shared Decision Making Assistant” smartphone application on the decision-making of informed patients with Primary Liver Cancer (PLC) in China. Methods In this quasi-experimental study , 180 PLC patients who knew their real diagnoses in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, China, from April to December 2020 were randomly assigned to a control group and an intervention group. Patients in the intervention group had an access to the “Shared Decision Making Assistant” application in decision-making, which included primary liver cancer treatment knowledge, decision aids path, continuing nursing care video clips, latest information browsing and interactive platforms. The study used decision conflict scores to evaluate the primary outcome, and the data of decision preparation, decision self-efficacy, decision satisfaction and regret, and knowledge of PLC treatment for secondary outcomes. Then, the data were entered into the SPSS 22.0 software and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square, independent t-test, paired t-test, and Mann–Whitney tests. Results Informed PLC patients in the intervention group (“SDM Assistant” group) had significantly lower decision conflict scores than those in the control group. (“SDM Assistant” group: 16.89 ± 8.80 vs. control group: 26.75 ± 9.79, P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the decision preparation score (80.73 ± 8.16), decision self-efficacy score (87.75 ± 6.87), decision satisfaction score (25.68 ± 2.10) and knowledge of PLC treatment score (14.52 ± 1.91) of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group patients (P < 0.05) at the end of the study. However, the scores of “regret of decision making” between the two groups had no statistical significance after 3 months (P > 0.05). Conclusions Access to the “Shared Decision Making Assistant” enhanced the PLC patients’ performance and improved their quality of decision making in the areas of decision conflict, decision preparation, decision self-efficacy, knowledge of PLC treatment and satisfaction. Therefore, we recommend promoting and updating the “Shared Decision Making Assistant” in clinical employment and future studies.

The development of medical technology provides medical specialists with a variety of choices for their primary liver cancer patients, including partial liver resection, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, liver transplantation, and so on. However, in this context, because patients with primary liver cancer frequently do not receive adequate information to help make complicated medical decisions, those patients, who are usually otherwise ignorant about their disease, are facing multiple difficult choices. The problem might be alleviated with a process called "shared decision making." Accordingly, researchers developed a smartphone application named "Shared Decision Making Assistant" for primary liver cancer patients in China, and in this article, we report the process of its development. First, individual interviews were conducted to identify the specific needs and status of primary liver cancer patients participating in shared decision making. Next, expert group discussions were held among primary liver cancer medical experts, nurses, and software engineers, using a decision-making process called the Delphi method, which was used to arrive at a group opinion or decision by surveying a panel of experts, to draft the framework and decide on the contents of the mobile health-based decision aids program. Feedbacks and suggestions were collected to optimize the workflow of "Shared Decision Making Assistant." The resulting application consisted of seven modules: personal information, primary liver cancer treatment knowledge center, decision aids path, continuing care, interactive platform, health education, and backstage management.
Background Human-derived acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been widely used as an effective alternative to autologous grafts in tympanoplasty. However, evidence of ADM as an alternative to autologous grafts in the repair of tympanic membrane (TM) perforation still lacks adequate empirical evidence. Objectives To determine the clinical safety and efficacy of human-derived ADM as TM graft material for tympanoplasty. Data sources The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Ovid, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and reference lists of the retrieved articles were searched, with no language restriction. Selection criteria All randomized controlled trials and retrospective cohort studies that compared the use of human-derived ADM and autologous grafts in tympanoplasty for TM perforation were included. Data collection and analysis Two review authors independently assessed risk of bias in the included studies and extracted data. The pooled results for continuous data were reported as a mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). For dichotomous data, odds risk (OR) with 95% CI was used. ChI2 statistic and Galbraith plots were used to assess the heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed with a funnel plot and Egger's test. Main results Five retrospective cohort studies and four randomized controlled studies with a total of 610 participants were included in the meta-analysis. No significant differences in graft success (OR: 0.71 [0.39, 1.29], p = 0.26), air-bone gap (ABG) reduction (MD: − 0.59 [− 3.81, 1.19], p = 0.51), or complications (OR: 1.23 [0.07, 20.64], p = 0.89) were found between the ADM group and autologous graft group. The use of ADM significantly shortened tympanoplasty surgery time (MD: − 16.14 [− 21.22, − 11.07], p < 0.00001) and reduced postoperative pain (MD: − 2.57 [− 3.57, − 1.58], p < 0.00001) compared with the autologous graft group. Conclusion Human-derived ADM might be an effective alternative to autologous grafts for tympanoplasty. However, some of the studies that were included in the present meta-analysis had rather low methodological quality, and more adequately designed clinical trials should be performed in the future.

BACKGROUND:Lymph node (LN) involvement is a critical prognostic factor in patients with gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Controversy exists regarding optimal categorization of nodal metastasis status, including anatomical location of positive nodes (AJCC 7th N staging), number of metastatic lymph nodes (NMLN), log odds of metastatic LNs (LODDS), and lymph node ratio (LNR).METHODS:Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GBC from six Chinese tertiary hospitals between 2008 and 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. The relative discriminative abilities of the different LN staging systems were assessed by different models including the tree-augmented naïve Bayesian (TAN) model, Cox proportional hazards regression model, and binary logistic regression model.RESULTS:A total of 226 patients were involved in this cohort. Based on the TAN model and composite importance measures, the most important factor affecting the prognosis in the different LN staging systems was NMLN. Among the four TAN models which were built with 4 metastatic LN markers and baseline variables, the accuracy of the NMLN-based prognostic model was 88.15%, higher than 7th N staging (86.44%), LNR (87.34%), and LODDS (85.19%). The Cox model based on NMLN (C-index: 0.763, AIC: 1371.62) had a higher fitness than the others (7th N staging C-index: 0.756, AIC: 1375.51; LNR C-index: 0.759, AIC: 1378.82; LODDS C-index 0.748, AIC: 1390.99). The AUCs of different staging binary logistic regression models were NMLN (0.872), LNR (0.872), 7th N staging (0.869) and LODDS (0.856), respectively.CONCLUSIONS:NMLN was the optimal LN staging system in evaluating prognosis of GBC.

Objective: To examine the role of the number of lymph nodes examined(NLNE) on the prognosis of patients with curatively resected gallbladder carcinoma(GBC). Methods: The clinicopathological data and prognosis of 401 patients with GBC who underwent radical surgery from six institutions of China from January 2013 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 153 males(38.2%) and 248 females(61.8%), with age of (62.0±10.5) years (range: 30-88 years). Fifty-three patients(22.2%) were accompanied by jaundice. All patients underwent radical resection+regional lymphadenectomy.R0 or R1 resection was confirmed by postoperative pathological examination.The different cut-off values of NLNE were determined by the X-tile software, the optimal cut-off values were identified by analyzing the relationship between different cut-off values of NLNE with survival rate. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analysis were implemented respectively using the Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: Among the 401 patients enrolled, 135 cases (33.6%) had lymphatic metastasis, of which 98 cases were in N1 stage(24.4%) and 37 cases were in N2 stage(9.2%).A total of 2 794 NLNE were retrieved, with a median count of 6 (5).The median positive lymph nodes count was 0 (1), and the median positive lymph nodes ratio was 0 (IQR, 0-0.2). Since the 12 and 15 were determined as the cut-off values by X-tile, all patients were divided into three groups of 1-11, 12-15 and ≥16.The 3-year survival rate of the three groups was 45.2%, 74.5%, 12.0% respectively, with statistically significant difference between three groups (χ(2)=10.94, P<0.01). The results of multivariate analysis showed that NLNE was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (P<0.05). Further analysis was performed specifically for subgroup of T stages. For T1b patients, the prognosis of the NLNE with 1-7 group was significantly better than that of the ≥8 group(χ(2)=4.610, P<0.05). For T2 patients, the prognosis of the TLNE ≥7 group was significantly better than that of 1 -6 group (χ(2)=4.287, P<0.05). For T3 and T4 patients, the prognosis of the TLNE with 12 - 15 group was significantly better than that of 1 -11 group (χ(2)=5.007, P<0.01) and ≥16 group (χ(2)=10.158, P<0.01). Conclusions: The NLNE is an independent factor affecting the prognosis of patients with GBC.For patients with stage T1b,8 lymph nodes should be retrieved; for patients with stage T2,extensive dissection of more than 6 lymph nodes can significantly improve the prognosis.For advanced patients (stages T3 and T4), extensive dissection with 12-15 lymph nodes is recommended. However, it fails to get more survival benefits by dissecting more than 16 lymph nodes.
Background: In this study, we developed a nomogram and a Bayesian network (BN) model for prediction of survival in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) patients following surgery and compared the performance of the two models. Methods: Survival prediction models were established and validated using data from 698 patients with GBC who underwent curative-intent resection between 2008 and 2017 at one of six Chinese tertiary hospitals. Model construction and internal validation were performed using data from 381 patients at one hepatobiliary center, and external validation was then performed using data from 317 patients at the other five centers. A BN model and a nomogram model were constructed based on the independent prognostic variables. Performance of the BN and nomogram models was compared based on area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), model accuracy, and a confusion matrix. Results: Independent prognostic variables included age, pathological grade, liver infiltration, T stage, N stage, and margin. In internal validation, AUC was 84.14% and 78.22% for the BN and nomogram, respectively, and model accuracy was 75.65% and 72.17%, respectively. In external validation, AUC was 76.46% and 70.19% for the BN and nomogram, respectively, with model accuracy of 66.88% and 60.25%, respectively. Based on the confusion matrix, the nomogram had a higher true positive rate but a substantially lower true negative rate compared to the BN. Conclusion: A BN model was more accurate than a Cox regression-based nomogram for prediction of survival in GBC patients undergoing curative-intent resection.

Hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) is an aggressive malignancy with the worst prognosis among all head and neck cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the development of many human cancers, and may function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of miRNA (miR)-194-5p on the proliferation and invasion of HPC cells and to identify the potential regulatory mechanism. First, miR-194-5p and Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor 1 (SMURF1) expression levels were examined in HPC tissues. Subsequently, to explore the effects of miR-194-5p on SMURF1, a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the target relationship. To define the role of miR-194-5p in HPC progression, miR-194-5p upregulation and depletion were used to evaluate its effects on cell viability, invasion and migration. SMURF1 silencing and rapamycin [an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway] treatment were also used to analyze the regulatory mechanism in HPC. Finally, tumor growth was assessed in xenografted tumors in nude mice. SMURF1 was demonstrated to be highly expressed, whereas miR-194-5p was poorly expressed in HPC tissues; SMURF1 was identified as a target gene of miR-194-5p. FaDu hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells treated with miR-194-5p mimics exhibited decreased viability, invasion and migration. The results indicated that miR-194-5p may inactivate the mTOR signaling pathway by targeting SMURF1. In addition, the in vivo experiments further verified these regulatory effects. These data suggested that miR-194-5p-targeted SMURF1 inhibition may be involved in the disruption of HPC progression through the repression of the mTOR signaling pathway.
Objectives: To propose a novel clinical classification system of gallbladder cancer, and to investigate the differences of clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis based on patients who underwent radical resection with different types of gallbladder cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 1 059 patients with gallbladder cancer underwent radical resection in 12 institutions in China from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.There were 389 males and 670 females, aged (62.0±10.5)years(range:22-88 years).According to the location of tumor and the mode of invasion,the tumors were divided into peritoneal type, hepatic type, hepatic hilum type and mixed type, the surgical procedures were divided into regional radical resection and extended radical resection.The correlation between different types and T stage, N stage, vascular invasion, neural invasion, median survival time and surgical procedures were analyzed.Rates were compared by χ(2) test, survival analysis was carried by Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank test. Results: Regional radical resection was performed in 940 cases,including 81 cases in T1 stage,859 cases in T2-T4 stage,119 cases underwent extended radical resection;R0 resection was achieved in 990 cases(93.5%).The overall median survival time was 28 months.There were 81 patients in Tis-T1 stage and 978 patients in T2-T4 stage.The classification of gallbladder cancer in patients with T2-T4 stage: 345 cases(35.3%)of peritoneal type, 331 cases(33.8%) of hepatic type, 122 cases(12.5%) of hepatic hilum type and 180 cases(18.4%) of mixed type.T stage(χ(2)=288.60,P<0.01),N stage(χ(2)=68.10, P<0.01), vascular invasion(χ(2)=128.70, P<0.01)and neural invasion(χ(2)=54.30, P<0.01)were significantly correlated with the classification.The median survival time of peritoneal type,hepatic type,hepatic hilum type and mixed type was 48 months,21 months,16 months and 11 months,respectively(χ(2)=80.60,P<0.01).There was no significant difference in median survival time between regional radical resection and extended radical resection in the peritoneal type,hepatic type,hepatic hilum type and mixed type(all P>0.05). Conclusion: With application of new clinical classification, different types of gallbladder cancer are proved to be correlated with TNM stage, malignant biological behavior and prognosis, which will facilitate us in preoperative evaluation,surgical planning and prognosis evaluation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of hepatectomy in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 1,142 patients, undergoing hepatectomy for HCC from January 2010 to December 2013, were recruited into this retrospective study. Samples were classified into three groups according to age: young group (< 65 years), young-old group (65-79 years), and old-old group (>= 80 years). Compared to the young group, lower BMI, lower hepatitis B virus infection rate, higher ASA grade, and Child-Pugh grade A were more frequent both in young-old and old-old groups. Rate of overall complications was elevated along with increasing age. Rate of severe complications, similar in the young (5.1%) and young-old (5.8%) groups, sharply surged in the old-old group (18.8%). Multivariate analysis displayed that risk of overall complications was strongly associated with age, Child-Pugh grade, ASA grade, and multiple comorbidities. Rates of overall survival (OS) were 31.9%, 57.1% and 63.0% in young, young-old, and old-old groups, respectively. These suggest that OS rates reduce with age. Multivariate analysis also showed that OS rate was negatively related to the number of tumors, satellite nodule, vascular invasion, portal vein thrombosis, TNM stage, and BCLC stage. When adjusted for confounding factors, young-old age was not a risk factor for poor outcomes but old-old age was. Thus, hepatectomy is relatively safe and beneficial for the young-old, while the decision to conduct hepatectomy for the old-old should be made carefully.
OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy of operations of acquired middle ear cholesteatoma.METHODSRetrospectively analyzed clinical data of 102 patients whom received tympanoplasty with CWU or CWD with mastoid obliteration in our hospital between January 2014 and December 2014. Patients were divided into different groups according to types of the cholesteatoma as well as the different surgical procedures. Patients were followed up for 12-24 months, the pre and post-operative PTA was performed and evaluated. The post-operative hearing was assessed in terms of average ABG.RESULTSThe average dry ear time was (5.4±1.7)weeks. The dry ear time of patients of attic cholesteatoma was shorter than those of tensa cholesteatoma[(4.9±1.7)weeks vs(6.1±1.5)weeks, t=-3.52, P=0.001]; the dry ear time of patients underwent CWU was shorter than those underwent CWD with mastoid obliteration[(2.3±0.5)weeks vs(5.8±1.4)weeks, t=-8.43, P=0.000]. Mean pre and post-operative air bone gaps in 93 ears underwent ossiculoplasty were (34.2±11.8)dB and (19.0±5.5)dB respectively and these differences were statistically significant. Both the pre and post-operative air bone gaps of ears of attic cholesteatoma were smaller than those ears of tensa cholesteatoma(P<0.05). In the patients who underwent ossiculoplasty with CWD with mastoid obliteration, the post-operative air bone gaps of attic cholesteatoma were smaller than those of tensa cholesteatoma(P<0.05). Both the pre and post-operative air bone gaps of ears underwent CWU were smaller than those underwent CWD with mastoid obliteration(P<0.05). The post-operative air bone gaps of ears underwent PORP with CWD with mastoid obliteration were smaller than those underwent TORP with CWD with mastoid obliteration(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONSBoth the hearing loss and the outcome of tensa cholesteatoma are worser than attic cholesteatoma. The outcome of PORP is better than TORP. The patients who will accept CWU should be selected more carefully and be followed up regularly.
