The prevalence of fatigue in cancer patients in this study was high. Risk factors were age of the patients, stage of cancer, presence of infection, cervical cancer and radiation therapy.

Gastric cancer is one of the main reasons of cancer-induced death, exploring the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer progression is critical for gastric cancer therapy. Here, we studied the role of cysteine protease inhibitor CST1 in gastric cancer progression. Matrigel-coated or -uncoated transwell assay was used to determine the effect of CST1 on gastric cancer invasion and migration, luciferase reporter system was used to determine the effect of CST1 on Wnt pathway activity. CST1 had high expression levels in gastric cancer tissues and cells, patients who had high CST1 expression had poor outcome. Overexpression of CST1 increased gastric cancer migration and invasion, while knockdown of CST1 suppressed gastric cancer migration invasion. Mechanism analysis showed CST1 promoted WNT signaling pathway activity, promoted the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and the expression of Wnt signaling targets. Inhibition of Wnt pathway in CST1 overexpression cells inhibited migration and invasion, suggesting CST1 promoted gastric cancer cell migration and invasion through activating the Wnt pathway. In summary, we found CST1 promoted gastric cancer migration and invasion through activating Wnt signaling, providing a novel target for gastric cancer therapy. In summary, we found CST1 promoted gastric cancer migration and invasion through activating Wnt signaling, providing a novel target for gastric cancer therapy. To investigate the inhibitory effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS2 mini-antibody (mPreS2) against HBV infection, HBV-associated liver injury and HBV-associated hepatic carcinogenesis. A recombinant adenovirus vector with the human survivin promoter and mPreS2 gene, Ad5SVP-mPreS2, was constructed. Fluorescence microscopy examination and TCID 50 analysis were utilized to determine the specific proliferation of recombinant adenovirus in liver cancer cells. Western blot analysis was used to determine the mPreS2 expression levels. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to examine HBsAg levels to evaluate the inhibitory effect of mPreS2 against HBV infection. The protective effects on hepatic function and preventive effects against hepatic carcinogenesis of Ad5SVP-mPreS2 were studied in diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-treated HBV transgenic Imprinting Control Region mice. The recombinant adenovirus regulated by the human survivin promoter proliferated exclusively in liver cancer cells rather than normal liver cells. The expression levels of mPreS2 were increased in liver cancer cells compared with normal liver cells, and mPreS2 could be used to recognize liver cells from HBV transgenic mice. ELISA showed that HBsAg levels were decreased in the group treated with Ad5SVP-mPreS2. Ad5SVP-mPreS2 had a protective effect on hepatic function in a DEN-induced liver injury model because of lower serum levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase. Additionally, HBV transgenic mice treated with Ad5SVP-mPreS2 had fewer and smaller cancerous nodes after induction with DEN than untreated mice. Conditionally replicating adenovirus-mediated mPreS2 expression inhibited HBV infection and had an inhibitory effect on liver injury and hepatocellular carcinogenesis in HBV transgenic mice. Conditionally replicating adenovirus-mediated mPreS2 expression inhibited HBV infection and had an inhibitory effect on liver injury and hepatocellular carcinogenesis in HBV transgenic mice. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) after esophagectomy on prognosis. Retrospectively collected data from 297 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent McKeown esophagectomy at our department from April 2014 to May 2018, were analyzed. RLNI occurred in 31.9% of the patients. Left-side RLNI occurred 2.8 times more often than right-side RLNI. Among the cases in which assessment of the vocal cords was continued, 8.4% involved permanent injury. There were no significant differences among clinicopathological data between patients with RLNI and without. Compared with patients without RLNI, patients with RNLI have longer operation time, more number of bronchoscopy suctions, longer postoperation hospital stay, and higher incidence of postoperative complications. T stage, N stage, RLN lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for the prognosis, but RLNI is not independent risk factors for long-term survival. RLNI is a serious complication that will affect the short-term prognosis of patients and reduce the quality of life of patients. It should be avoided as much as possible during surgery, but it may not have negative impact on the long-term survival.

To assess the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) technology in predicting axillary lymph nodes status before surgery, and to explore the feasibility of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) localization guided by CEUS combined with I implantation for breast cancer. From August 2017 to February 2019, 115 patients were included in this prospective study. Before surgery, a microbubble (SonoVue) was injected intradermally next to the areola. The enhancement patterns of SLNs were recorded and I seeds were deployed into the enhanced nodes. Then, all patients underwent standard sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and all I seeds were found out guided by a gamma detector in surgery. The localization was considered successful if I seeds were implanted in/beside the nodes. SLNs in 103 cases were successfully identified, the success rate was 89.6% (103/115), 118 SLNs were detected in total. I seeds were deployed successfully in 99 cases, and all of the I-labeled SLNs were then successfully detected by combined method (radionuclides and blue dye).
