2.The expression and clinical significance of TAK1 in esophageal cancer
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(19):3084-3086,3087
Objective To examine the expression of transforming growth factor β(TGF-β) activated kinase 1 (TAK1) in esophageal organization and the impact of TAK1 expression on clinicopathologic data. Methods Specimens from 80 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma managed in our hospital were included in this study. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of TAK1 in 80 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and 80 cases of normal esophageal mucosal tissues. All the specimens were confirmed by pathology for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma or esophageal normal tissues. Results The positive expression rate of TAK1 in esophageal cancer organizations and normal esophageal mucosal tissues were 80% and 11.25%, respectively. The positive expression rate of TAK1 in esophageal cancer were significantly higher than those in normal esophageal mucosal tissue (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of TAK1 in esophageal cancer organizations has nothing to do with the age, sex, tumor differentiation degree and size (P>0.05), but with lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P<0.05). Patients with positive TAK1 expression had significantly lower five-year survival rate than those with tumors having positive TAK1 expression Conclusion TAK1 played an important role in the pathology and development of squamous cell carcinoma , and could be an important therapeutic target in the treatment of esophageal cancer.

BACKGROUND: As in theory tissue-engineered sinus node can establish a new pacemaker in vivo when implanted into the human body, it is a promising treatment for sick sinus syndrome. But this method is immature and needs to be explored in depth. OBJECTIVE: To overview the different construction methods of tissue-engineered sinus node, and the research progress of vascularization in cardiac tissue engineering. METHODS: A computer-based retrieval in PubMed and CNKI databases was performed by the first author to search related papers published from 1984 to 2016 using the keywords of vascularize, tissue engineering, sinus node in English and Chinese, respectively. We summarized the construction methods of tissue-engineered sinus node and importance of vascularization in cardiac tissue engineering. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Sinus node cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and embryonic stem cells can be used as seed cells. There are a variety of materials used for constructing tissue-engineered scaffolds, among which, collagen is the best choice. Three-dimensional printing technology and cell-sheet techbology make it possible to construct and transplant tissue-engineered sinus node. The early blood supply is the key for the successful sinus node transplantation. However, the vascularized tissue-engineered sinus node has not yet been reported. Endothelial progenitor cells can promote angiogenesis, but further explorations are warranted as there are some existing defects.

Objective To establish a rat model of liver metabolism profile in chronic heart failure (CHF), to explore the dynamics of liver metabolism in CHF from the point of view of metabolism, and to find the characteristic metabolites valuable for the molecular mechanism and management of CHF.Methods Twenty male Wistar rats were assigned to the CHF group to receive aortic coarctation or to the control group to receive sham surgery, and were bred for 24 weeks following surgery.The metabolic profiling of the rat liver tissues was analyzed on a metabonomics research platform. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis ( OPLS-DA) model and principal component analysis ( PCA) model were established for liver tissues of the CHF rats, and the characteristic metabolites were finally derived by data processing with SPSS 19.0 software.Results The PAC and OPLS-DA models were established successfully.Ten characteristic metabolites with significant differences between the CHF and control groups, including lysophosphatidyl choline, lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine, oleic acid, glycocholic acid, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, were screened and identified from the models.Conclusions The metabolic disorders in CHF rats are well fitted to the established metabolic profile models, and these identified characteristic metabolites may provide reference for the pathophysiological molecular mechanism and management, etc., of chronic heart failure.

Objective To investigate the cause and the therapy of acute pancreatitis. Methods 994 patients of acute pancreatitis admitted in the Surgery Ward in Ruijin Hospital between Jan. 2003 to Jan. 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into groups according to etiology and therapy. Results In these 994 patients, 825 cases were with biliary origin (83.0%); 24 cases were alcoholic origin (2.41%); 29 cases were hyperlipidemia origin (2.92%); 16 cases were pregnancy origin (1. 61% ), 71 cases were idiopathic origin (7.14%); 4 cases were traumatic origin (0.40%); 25 cases were mixed origin (2.52%).There were 767 cases (77.2%)of mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) and 227 (22.8%) cases of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The overall cure rate was 91.2% , 87 cases were dead with a mortality of 8.8%. The mortality of alcoholic acute pancreatitis was 37.5% , which was significantly higher than that in biliary acute pancreatitis. Non - surgical treatment, ERCP + EST, cholecystectomy and exploration of common bile duct, or laparoscopic cholecystectomy after ERCP or debridement treatment was used for biliary acute pancreatitis. All patients underwent debridement treatment were SAP patients with a post-operative mortality of 25.0% , which was significantly higher than those in other treatment group ( P < 0.01 ). There was no significant difference among the other 3 groups as regard to SAP patients and mortality. Conclusions The major cause of acute pancreatitis was biliary factor. Alcoholic pancreatitis was critical with poor prognosis. For biliary acute pancreatitis, the therapeutic efficacies of multiple treatment were not significantly different.
