Tumor 2011;31(12):1122-1126
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a major non-transmembrane protein tyrosinephosphatase and plays an important role in signaling pathway. PTP1B also acts as an essential regulatorin numerous physiological processes and it has a vital role in cell growth, differentiation, metabolism,migration, gene transcription and apoptosis through modulating intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation.Evidence has demonstrated that PTP1B is associated with tumor. Although many conflicting resultssuggested that PTP1B has two contradictory effects (supressing or promoting ) on tumor, the real effectdepends on the substrate involved and the cellular context. This review describes different mechanismsof PTP1B in tumorigenesis and progression in breast cancer, colon cancer, hepatic carcinoma, lymphoma,ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer and gastric cancer. These results further theunderstanding of PTP1B function and highlight the great prospective of PTP1B inhibitors in tumor therapy. Copyright© 2011 by TUMOR.

Objective To observe the expressions of Slug, BRAF V600E and STIP1 proteins in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and to explore their correlation with capsular invasion and regional lymph node metastasis. Methods Slug, BRAF V600E and STIP1 expressions in 107 cases of differentiated PTC were examined by immunohistochemical staining. The expressions of three proteins and clinicopathological data were statistically analyzed. Results Positive rates of Slug, BRAF V600E and STIP1 in PTC were 65.4 % (70/107), 61.7 % (66/107) and 66.4 % (71/107), respectively, and overexpression of Slug, BRAF V600E and STIP1 was significantly associated with capsular invasion and regional lymph node metastasis in PTC (P< 0.05). There are a significant correlation between expression of Slug and BRAF V600E in PTC (r= 0.235, P< 0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of Slug, BRAF V600E and STIP1 proteins is associated with capsular invasion and regional lymph node metastasis in PTC, which maybe useful for predicting regional lymph node metastasis and prognostic evaluation.

Objective To explore the surgical treatment of the primary retroperitoneal tumor (PRT). Methods A retrospective clinical data analysis was made on the 59 cases of PRT who underwent operation. Results 59 cases were diagnosed by operation and pathologic examination.In 41 cases of malignancyt ( 69.49%),complete resection, partial resection, surgical exploration and biopsy were performed on 15 cases (36.6%), 8 cases (19.5%) and 18 case (43.9%) , respectively. The 3- and 5-year survival rates of maligment PRT with total resection were 53.3% and 26.7%,and with partial resection were 19.23% and 7.69% respectively.In 18 cases of benign tumor (30.5%),complete resection, partial resection, surgical exploration and biopsy were performed on 14 cases (77.8%), 3cases (16.7%) and 1case ( 5.6%) , respectively. The 3- and 5-year survival rates of benign PRT with total resection were 92.86% and 85.7%,and with non-completely resection were 75.0% and 50.0%, respectively. Conclusions Operation is the main treatment of PRT. Early diagnosis and radical resection are the keys in improving the prognosis of PRT.

Background Measurement of ciliary sulcus distance is important for phakic intraocular lens implantation.Suowei panoramic 50-MHz digital ultrasound biomicroscopy makes it possible for the direct measurement of ciliary sulcus distance.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between anterior chamber(AC)angle diameter and ciliary sulcus distance in different AC depth population and offer a clinical guide.Methods The anterior chamber angle diameter and ciliary sulcus distance were measured in 30 right eyes with shallow anterior chamber caused by suspect glaucoma and 30 right eyes with deep anterior chamber dut to the high myopia with Suowei panoramic 50-MHz digital ultrasound biomicroscopy.Three horizontal B-scans with the focal plane approximately at a depth corresponding to the iris plane were acquired for each eye.The differences of the anterior chamber angle diameter and ciliary sulcus distance were calculated and compared between the two groups.The correlation of the anterior chamber angle diameter and ciliary sulcus distance were evaluated in respective group.Results In shallow AC group,the mean angle diameter was(11.49+0.75)mm,the mean ciliary sulcus distance was (10.97±0.86)mm with the mean standard deviation of the difference of(-5.14± 0.55)mm,showing a statistically significant difference(t =-5.092,P =0.000).In shallow AC group,linear regression analysis showed a statistically significant correlation between ciliary sulcus distance and angle diameter(R2=0.593,P=0.000)and the Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.767.In deep AC group,the angle diameter was(12.69±0.67)mm;while ciliary sulcus distance was(12.31 ± 0.61)mm with the mean slandard deviation(-0.38 ± 0.17)mm,which was statistically significantly different(t=-5.531,P=0.000).The ciliary sulcus distance was found to be linear correlation with the angle diameter(R2 =0.699,P=0.000)and Pearson' s correlation coefficient of 0.836.Conclusions Panoramic ultrasound biomicroscopy is an useful tool to the measurement of ciliary sulcus distance.This study exhibited that the ciliary sulcus distance is significant associated with the anterior chamber angle diameter,which may offer a guide for phakic intraocular lens implantation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the possible differences in antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from different samples in children.
METHODSSix hundred and twenty-nine samples from urine, sputum, blood and secretion were collected from June 2004 to May 2009 for bacterial identification by VITEK-32 automatic system and antimicrobial susceptibility tests by Kirby-Bauer method. The drug resistance rate of Escherichia coli isolated from different samples was compared.
RESULTSTwo hundred and sixty strains of Escherichia coli were isolated , and 108 of which were from urine , 64 from sputum, 54 from secretion and 23 from blood. ESBLs were detected in 96 (36.9%) of the 260 isolates, AmpC enzymes in 32 (12.3%), and ESBLs+AmpC in 8 (3.1%). The ESBLs positive rate of Escherichia coli isolates from sputum was significantly higher than that from other samples (P<0.05). The antimicrobial resistance rate of Escherichia coli strains from different samples to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, piperacillin, cefotaxime, cefuroxime, cefepime, gentamicin, cotrimoxazole, and nitrofurantoin was different. The resistance rate of the strains from sputum samples was higher than that from the other samples (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSEscherichia coli isolated from different samples have different antimicrobial resistance rates in children, so the selection of antibiotics for infections confirmed by bacterial cultures from different samples should based on drug sensitivity results.

Objective This retrospective study was to explore the efficacy and determine the risk factors of survival for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) treated by repeat hepatectomy. Methods From January 1995 till December 2010, 60 patients with recurrent HCCs, were treated by repeat hepatectomy.The significance of seventeen clinical or pathological variables in the risk factors of overall survival were assessed. Results The overall survival 1,3, and 5-year survival rates were 76. 3% , 40.7% and 25. 0% (from repeat hepatectomy), and 95. 0% , 62. 6% and 43. 3% ( from initial hepatectomy) , respectively.Univariate analysis indicated that tumor size at initial hepatectomy, recurrence interval from initial hepatectomy, serum albumin(ALB) level, resection margin, diameter of largest recurrence tumor and rumor vascular invasion were significant prognostic factors(P <0. 05, Kaplan-Meier Log-rank test). Multivariate analysis showed recurrence interval from initial hepatectomy, resection margin, diameter of largest recurrence tumor and rumor vascular invasion were significant prognostic factors(P<0.05, Cox proportional hazards model).Conclusion Repeat hepatectomy is effective for recurrent HCC. Recurrence interval from initial hepatectomy, resection margin, diameter of largest recurrence tumor and rumor vascular invasion were significant prognostic factors.
