Effect of Transumbilical Single-Port Laparoscopic-Assisted Duhamel Operation on Serum CRP and IL-6 Levels in Children with Hirschsprung's Disease.

Objective: To explore the clinical intervention effect of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic-assisted Duhamel operation on children with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) and to analyze the effect of treatment on children with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) effects.

Methods: Retrospectively select 80 children with HD who underwent surgery in our hospital from May 2017 to May 2020 as the research subjects and they are classified as group A according to the difference of the children's surgical procedures (receiving transumbilical single-port laparoscopic-assisted Duhamel surgery, 40 cases) and group B (receiving conventional laparoscopic surgery, 40 cases), compare the perioperative period (operating time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical posthospitalization, and postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time), early postoperative complications (perianal dermatitis, urinary retention, enterocolitis, and anastomotic leakage), and late postoperative complications (anastomotic stenosis, dirty stool, recurrence of constipation, and enterocolitis), compare the differences in the levels of CRP and IL-6 between the two groups of children before and after the operation, and conduct a 1-year follow-up of the two groups of children to compare the long-term defecation status.

Results: The surgical time of children in group A, postoperative hospitalization time, and postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time were significantly shorter than those of group B, and the differences between groups were statistically significant ( < 0.

Coexpression of receptor tyrosine kinase AXL and EGFR in human primary lung adenocarcinomas.

AXL has been identified as a tyrosine kinase switch that causes resistance to inhibitors targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the relationship between 2 receptor tyrosine kinases, AXL and EGFR, and the relevance of AXL expression with EGFR mutation status in treatment-naive human NSCLCs remain uncertain. In this study, we evaluated the coexpression pattern of AXL, EGFR, and pEGFR(1068) in 109 lung adenocarcinoma patients with or without an EGFR mutation.

Pim-1 kinase is a target of miR-486-5p and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E, and plays a critical role in lung cancer.

Background: Pim-1 kinase is a proto-oncogene and its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis and progression of a variety of malignancies. Pim-1 was suggested as a therapeutic target of cancers. The functional relevance of Pim-1 and the mechanism underlying its dysregulation in lung tumorigenesis remained unclear.
