    Abstract: The Sendai consensus guidelines (SCG) and Fukuoka consensus guidelines (FCG) have been examined for their roles in predicting advanced neoplasia (AN) in pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN) patients with mixed results. We aim to evaluate the utilities of both guidelines in a Chinese cohort with preoperatively diagnosed mucinous PCNs. Methods One hundred ninety‐seven patients who underwent resections from 2008 to 2015 in Zhong Shan Hospital, Fudan University for suspected PCNs were retrospectively reviewed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated and compared to measure diagnostic value. Results Fifty‐five patients were diagnosed with AN pathologically. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the SCG high‐risk (SCG HR ) criteria were 87.3%, 28.2%, 32.0%, 85.1%, and 44.7%, respectively, and for the FCG high‐risk (FCG HR ) criteria, they were 40.0%, 95.8%, 78.6%, 80.5%, and 80.2%, respectively. ROC curve comparison analyses showed that the FCG HR were superior to the SCG HR ( P  = 0.02). The performance of the FCG HR was enhanced with CA19‐9 incorporated ( P  = 0.004). Conclusions The FCG were superior to the SCG in this retrospective analysis, which could be further improved by the incorporation of CA19‐9. However, the practical safety remains uncertain because of missed invasive carcinoma cases.

    Abstract: This study aimed to investigate whether electroacupuncture (EA) promotes the survival and synaptic plasticity of hippocampal neurons by activating brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine receptor kinase (TrkB)/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (Erk) signaling, thereby improving spatial memory deficits in rats under SD. Methods In vivo, Morris water maze (MWM) was used to detect the effect of EA on learning and memory, at the same time Western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to explore the plasticity of hippocampal neurons and synapses, and the expression of BDNF/TrkB/Erk signaling. In vitro, cultured hippocampal neurons were treated with exogenous BDNF and the TrkB inhibitor K252a to confirm the relationship between BDNF/TrkB/Erk signaling and synaptic plasticity. Results Our results showed that EA mitigated the loss of hippocampal neurons and synapses, stimulated hippocampal neurogenesis, and improved learning and memory of rats under SD accompanied by upregulation of BDNF and increased phosphorylation of TrkB and Erk. In cultured hippocampal neurons, exogenous BDNF enhanced the expression of synaptic proteins, the frequency of the postsynaptic currents, and the phosphorylation of TrkB and Erk; these effects were reversed by treatment with K252a. Conclusions Electroacupuncture alleviates SD‐induced spatial memory impairment by promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity via activation of BDNF/TrkB/Erk signaling, which provided evidence for EA as a therapeutic strategy for countering the adverse effects of SD on cognition.
