Filter by:To explore the effects of gastric xanthoma on gastric cancer and its precancerous lesions, so as to better prevent the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.
To determine whether probiotics have beneficial effect on gut dysbiosis and postoperative ascending cholangitis in patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Background: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a condition with an increased risk of oral cancer. Due to the current changes in the factors associated with these diseases (because of human papillomavirus), it is expected that those who have no history of smoking or alcohol, young (<50 years old), and white male would be commonly affected. Those individuals require a higher need for information, preferred a more active role in decision-making, and have a longer lifespan than older individuals. There remain no detailed studies of whether the informational needs delivered to patients with OED met their needs or indeed what information such patient may wish. A few tools are available to evaluate the IN of patients with head and neck disorders. However, the items of these instruments were dedicated to a particular disease (e.g. cancer) and hence are not applicable to be used for OED. Project aims: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Oral Epithelial Dysplasia Informational Needs Questionnaire (ODIN-Q), developed and revised in the preliminary work for the proposed study, in a cohort of patients with OED. Timescale: 19 months. Clinical significance: This questionnaire can be useful in clinical practice. It could help to meet the patient's information needs and plan educational interventions for those showing unmet needs.
To explore the effects of bile reflux on gastric cancer and its precancerous lesions, so as to better prevent the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.
This study is to investigate the oncologic and obstetric outcomes in patients with conization for uterine cervical lesions from January 1, 2000 to January 1, 2019 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The primary objectives consist of following: 1. The cumulative incidences of precancerous lesions and cancers of lower genital tract in patients who accepted conization for high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL), carcinoma in situ and stage IA1 cancer (FIGO 2009) 2. The cumulative pregnancy rates in patients sparing the fertility The secondary objectives consist of following: 1. The effects of surgical protocols (modified Sturmdorf method and "8" figure suture) and energy equipment (cold knife and monopolar electrical cautery) on the oncologic and obstetric outcomes, and on the histological components. 2. A full description of histological components of the conization specimens 3. The cytological and virus outcomes after conization, based on the thin prep liquid-based cytology test (TCT) and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing
According to the World Health Organization, oral cancer (OC) is the eighth most common cancer in the world with a five year survival rate of 50%. Oral cancer tumor cells produce biochemical substances, tumor markers, differed from healthy individuals in expression or quantitative ratio, detectable in tissues and/or body fluids. Saliva, because of its accessibility, proximity and noninvasive approach, presents an ideal tool for the research of oral cancer tumor markers. The aim of this study will be to isolate, quantify, analyze the role and describe the kinetics of diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), Squamous Cell Carcinoma associated Antigen (SCCA), Trophoblast cell surface antigen (TROP2) in patients with OC, potentially malignant disorders (PMOD) and age and sex matched control group with a clear medical history. There are number of studies published on OC tumor markers isolated mostly in serum, however the satisfactory specificity and sensitivity still hasn't been reached. Liquid chromatography-ion trap-mass spectrometry, Multiple Reaction Monitoring method (LC-IT-MS, MRM) will be developed to isolate and quantify the above mentioned tumor markers. This method has not yet been used to quantify the above mentioned salivary tumor markers. Ap4A and TROP2 have never been isolated from saliva. The aim is to develop a tumor-specific test with a satisfactory statistical sensitivity and specificity and dynamically measure the levels of tumor markers, before and immediately after therapy - surgery/radiotherapy/chemotherapy or their combination, and during regular follow-up one and two years after surgery. As another novelty, the investigators aim to determine the markers circadian rhythm. A OC tumor specific test, with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity, would enable earlier OC diagnosis, possibly before the clinical appearance, raise the survival rate of OC patients, enable early diagnosis of recurrence and/or new primary tumors and ensure better post-treatment life-quality.
The multimodal imaging technology, OCT-AFI, will be used to image sites on the cervix, the endocervical canal and vulva. The imaging probe is small enough, it can be inserted into the endocervical canal for imaging. The probe can also be placed in a conformable holder that can be shaped to conform the the folds of the vulva for vulvar imaging. The resultant images will be compared to histology images. The objectives are to determine 1. feasibility of the technology in imaging vulva and its capability in detecting vulvar intraepithelial neoplasias 2. feasibility in imaging cervix from endocervical canal to transformation zone to ectocervix 3. if combined OCT with AFI increases the sensitivity of detecting high grade lesions in the cervix compared to just AFI alone (previous work was AFI alone).
In this proposed project,investigators will estimate the effect of physical activity and abstain from smoking on the regression of precancerous neoplasia.
