Bone malignancies exhibit the characteristics of high incidence, poor prognosis, and strong chemoresistance. Exosomal microRNAs can regulate the proliferation of bone malignant cells, improve chemoresistance, influence cell communication and the microenvironment, and have significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of bone malignancies. Due to their stability, exosomal microRNAs can serve as non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. However, their widespread application in clinical settings requires standardized research. This review summarizes the progress of exosomal microRNA research in various bone malignancies including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and fibrosarcoma, to provide new theoretical foundations and perspectives for the field.
Since November 1974 to December 1993, 110 cases with malignant tumors of the extremities were treated by en bloc resection and limb salvage procedure in our hopsital. There were 57 males and 53 females. Their ages ranged from 14 to 70 years. The diagnosis of all patients were confirmed by pathology. Among them, 68 cases were malignant bone tumor, 42 cases were malignant tumor of soft tissue. If the soft tissue was involved by the malignant tumors, the tumor was resected radically and myocutaneous or skin flap was transferred to covered the defect. Among the 42 cases, 5 were free vascularized and 37 were pediculated flaps. The maximal size of the flap was 15×25 cm and the minimal was 6×8 cm. For the malignant bone tumors, en bloc resection was performed and the bone defect was reconstructed with autogenous free vascularized fibular graft, autograft of massive bone with fusion or allograft of cryogenic massive bone. If the joint was involved, limited excision with replacement of prosthesis was recommended. When both soft tissue and bone were involved, segmental resection of tumor was indicated in 17 cases. The patients were followed up for 2 to 9 years, the results of 53 cases were still alive with a survival rate of 48.2%. We emphasized that the local extensive resection should be performed with a safety margin of 3 to 5 cm beyond the tumor. A djuvant chemotheapy and radiotherapy had definite value in the treatment of some malignant tumors, so that preoperative or postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy was necessary. Sometimes radical resection of regional lymph rodes was necessary. The indications and causes of recurrence were discussed.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 signalosome (CSN) in malignant tumor in recent years. MethodsLiteratures about the relationship between CSN and maglinant tumor which were published in recent years were collected to make a review. ResultsMany malignant tumors were found to have high expression level of CSN, and CSN could degrade various tumor suppressor genes, such as p53 gene, mainly through regulating the ubiquitin protein degradation pathway, which played an role in promoting tumor growth. CSN5 was the deneddylation active center of CSN, and the activity of CSN was based on the integrity of CSN, which meant CSN6 (CSN core scaffold structure) have to exist. Current study found that CSN6 could promote tumorigenesis and development through a variety of signaling pathways, and CSN5 was mainly involved in cell cycle regulation and DNA damage repair to promote tumor growth. ConclusionsThe research of CSN in malignant tumors has lay a foundation of targeted therapies for cancer. However, the specific function of each of its subunit still remains unclear, and its upstream regulatory factors also need to be further explored.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical experience of 58 operations for biliary malignant tumor with da Vinci surgical system. MethodsFrom January 2009 to October 2010, 180 patients with hepatopancreaticobiliary and gastrointestinal disease underwent robotic surgeries by using da Vinci surgical system, including 58 patients with biliary malignant tumor. The case distribution, intra and postoperative data were analyzed. ResultsOf 58 patients, 3 patients with intrahepatic bile duct cystadenocarcinoma received wedge resections of liver. In 36 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma, anatomical left hemihepatectomies were performed in 3 cases, resection of extrahepatic duct and gallbladder bridge type biliary revascularization in 3 cases, resection of extrahepatic duct and biliary-enteric Roux-en-Y anastomosis in 14 cases, tumor resection and revascularization of hepatic portal bile duct in 1 case, palliative external drainage of intrahepatic bile duct in 5 cases, and Y-internal drainage of hepatic portal in 10 cases. In 10 patients with gallbladder carcinoma, resection of extrahepatic duct and gallbladder and biliaryenteric Roux-en-Y anastomosis in 2 cases, cholecystectmy in 3 cases, cholecystectmy and external drainage of intrahepatic bile duct in 1 case, cholecystectmy and Y-internal drainage by suspension of hepatic portal in 4 cases. A patient with middle bile duct cancer received radical resection of cholangiocarcinoma and biliary-enteric Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Of 8 patients with distal bile duct cancer, Whipple procedure were performed. Of 58 patients, 2 cases converted to hand-assistant procedure (3.4%). For all patients, operation time was (6.18±1.71) h, blood loss was (116.66±56.06) ml, blood transfusion was (85.55±38.28) ml, ambulation time was (9.10±2.91) h, feeding time was (14.95±4.35) h, and hospital stay was (12.81±4.29) d. Postoperative complications occurred in 8 cases (13.8%), including bile leakage (3 cases), wound bleeding (1 case), pancreatoenteric anastomotic leakage (2 cases), pulmonary infection (1 case), and renal failure (1 case). Of these 8 cases, 6 cases recovered smoothly and 2 cases die of severe pulmonary infection and renal failure after conservative treatment (3 or 4 weeks), therefore, the mortality of patients was 3.4%. In 36 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma, 19 cases died (on 2 monthes 4 cases, on 6 monthes 5 cases, on 10 monthes 8 cases, and on 12 monthes 2 cases after operation), 11 cases survival well (gt;26 monthes 4 cases, gt;22 monthes 3 cases, and gt;19 monthes 4 cases), and 6 cases required hospitalization. Of 10 patients with gallbladder carcinoma, 7 cases died (on 3 monthes 1 case, on 5 monthes 1 case, on 8 monthes 1 case, on 11 monthes 3 cases, and on 12 monthes 1 case after operation) and 3 cases survival (gt;17 monthes 2 cases, gt;13 monthes 1 case). In 8 cases undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy, 5 cases died (on 4 monthes 2 cases, on 6 monthes 2 cases, and 10 monthes 1 case after operation) and 3 cases survived well over 2 years. Three patients with intrahepatic bile duct cystadenocarcinoma survived over 1 year. Conclusionsda Vinci surgical system can carry out all kinds of surgery for biliary malignant tumor, especially prominent in the complicated surgeries for hepatic portal, which breaks through the restricted area of laparoscope in hepatobiliary malignant tumor.
Objective To improve the vigilance and awareness of malignancy presenting as dermatosis and reduce misdiagnosis. Methods Two cases of gastric cancer presenting as dermatomyositis and erythroderma respectively in the last two years were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results The two patients were admitted to hospital due to skin diseases， diagnosis of gastric cancer through endoscopy， and proved to be gastric cancer associated with dermatosis by pathological examination after surgical resection. Conclusions Paraneoplastic dermatoses can be seen as an early manifestation of the internal malignancy. The patients with paraneoplastic dermatoses should be excluded visceral tumors by the means of biomarkers， endoscopy， PET/CT， and so on.

ObjectiveTo comprehensively analyze the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China from 1990 to 2021, and predict the trend of disease burden changes from 2022 to 2031, in order to improve its prevention and treatment strategies. MethodsData from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database were extracted and analyzed for the disease burden of nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, and tracheal, bronchial and lung cancers (hereinafter referred to as lung cancer) in China from 1990 to 2021. The Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was utilized to analyze the corresponding trends. The grey prediction model [GM (1,1)] was employed to forecast the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China from 2022 to 2031. ResultsThe disease burden of respiratory cancers attributed to tobacco and occupational carcinogens in China raised from 1990 to 2021. Among the respiratory cancers, lung cancer led in terms of incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and their respective age-standardized rates from 1990 to 2021, followed by nasopharyngeal cancer, with laryngeal cancer being the lowest. Analysis via the Joinpoint regression model indicated that, overall, the disease burden of nasopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers in China decreased during this time period, while that of lung cancer increased. From a gender perspective, the disease burden of male patients was significantly higher than that of female patients from 1990 to 2021. Compared to the global average, the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China from 1990 to 2021 was still relatively heavy. As of 2021, the middle-aged and elderly population above 50 years old was the primary group suffering from the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China. The prediction model showed that the age-standardized rate of nasopharyngeal cancer in China would decline from 2022 to 2031; the age-standardized incidence rate of laryngeal cancer in China would increase, while its age-standardized mortality rate and DALY rate would both decrease; the age-standardized rates of lung cancer in China would increase. ConclusionIn the past 30 years, the disease burden of nasopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers in China has lightened, but the overall disease burden of lung cancer is still on the rise. Compared to the global average, the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China is still relatively heavy. The disease burden in male patients is significantly higher than that in female patients, and the population above 50 years old is the main group suffering from the disease burden. In the next 10 years, the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China will still tend to increase. Therefore, targeted prevention and treatment strategies for men and the middle-aged and elderly populations remain key challenges that urgently need to be addressed in China's response to respiratory cancers.
This article reviews the development and progress in the field of limb salvage treatment, surgical techniques, and function reconstruction of pelvic malignant tumors in China in the past 30 years. Based on the surgical classification of pelvic tumor resection in different parts, the development of surgical techniques and bone defect repair and reconstruction methods were described in detail. In recent years, in view of the worldwide problem of biological reconstruction after pelvic tumor resection, Chinese researchers have systematically proposed the repair and reconstruction methods and prosthesis design for bone defects after resection of different parts for the first time in the world. In addition, a systematic surgical classification (Beijing classification) was first proposed for the difficult situation of pelvic tumors involving the sacrum, as well as the corresponding surgical plan and repair and reconstruction methods. Through unremitting efforts, the limb salvage rate of pelvic malignant tumors in China has reached more than 80%, which has preserved limbs and restored walking function for the majority of patients, greatly reduced surgical complications, and achieved internationally remarkable results.
