Previous studies have suggested that an elevated pre-treatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with worse outcomes in patients with a variety of cancers. The purpose of this retrospective analysis is to investigate the prognostic value of the NLR in a Chinese melanoma population. Melanoma patients were divided into two groups based on pre-treatment NLR values (≥3 vs.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the prognostic value of PLR for PD-1 inhibitors.

Methods: Patients were divided into different subgroups according to PLR. Univariate survival analysis and a multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to assess the association between PLR and overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS).

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common tumor types worldwide. A frequent subtype of CRC is defined by a deficiency in the mismatch repair (MMR) pathway, constantly found in combination with microsatellite instability (MSI), which not only contributes to the pathogenesis of a large proportion of CRC, but also controls the response to multiple drugs used to treat CRCs. The most commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for CRC is 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).

The optimal surgical management of patients with leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava remains a controversy. From 1975 and 2009, five patients with leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava were treated at the Chinese PLA General Hospital and Beijing Shijitan Hospital. The age ranged 39-61 years and the duration of symptoms ranged from 18 to 36 months.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by a mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Some studies have attempted to correlate mutations at codon 1309 with classic FAP (≥100 colorectal polyps). We report two Chinese FAP pedigrees with new frameshift mutations at codon 1309, in which affected individuals manifest phenotypic variations.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of gracilis muscle transposition and postoperative salvage irrigation-suction in the treatment of complex rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) and rectourethral fistulas (RUFs).

Methods: Between May 2009 and March 2012, 11 female patients with complex RVFs and 8 male patients with RUFs were prospectively enrolled. Gracilis muscle transposition was undertaken in all patients and postoperative wound irrigation-suction was performed in patients with early leakage.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and experience of gracilis muscle transposition for complex rectovaginal fistula (RVF) and rectourethral fistula (RUF).

Methods: Nineteen patients underwent gracilis muscle transposition for complex RVF and RUF from May 2009 to November 2011 in the Beijing Shijitan Hospital and the clinical data were prospectively collected. The success rate and complications were recorded.

Objective: To investigate the Bloodless Medical and Surgical Procedures for retroperitoneal neoplasm resection.

Methods: Retrospectively analyse the Bloodless Medical and Surgical Procedures during 36 retroperitoneal neoplasm resections from Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from September 2009 to December 2010, to discuss the preoperative preparation, anesthetic induction and maintainance, intraoperative monitoring and use of vasoactive drugs related experience.

Results: All the patients were safe during the perioperative period, without any operative and anesthetic complication.

Background & Objective: Estrogen directly up-regulates LRP16 gene expression via activating its receptor (ER), and the overexpression of LRP16 promotes the proliferation of human breast cancer cells. This study was to detect the mRNA level of LRP16 gene in breast cancer, and investigate its correlation to the clinicopathologic features.

Methods: The mRNA level of LRP16 in carcinoma and matched peritumor tissues from 22 breast cancer patients was detected by Northern blot, and that in the tissues from 30 patients was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
