Cancer Research and Clinic 2009;21(1):32-34
Objective To investigate the expression of uPAR and VEGF-C in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its effect on the biological behavior of HCC. Methods The expression of uPAR and VEGF-C in liver tissue specimen of 33 patients with HCC was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results The positive expression of uPAR and VEGF-C in HCC tissues was located in cytoplasma of cancer cells. The positive rates of uPAR and VEGF-C were 69.7 %(23/33) and 78.8 %(26/33) respectively in 33 cases of HCC. The expression rates of uPAR and VEGF-C were significantly higher in HCC with metastasis than in HCC without metastasis(P<0.05). But there were not significant correlation between the expression of uPAR or VEGF-C and tumor size, tumor grade, AFP level, hepatic cirrhosis. There was a close correlation between uPAR and VEGF-C in HCC(r=0.676, P<0.01). Conclusion The expression of uPAR and VEGF-C is correlated with metastasis, uPAR and VEGF-C may be signs of aggressive phenotype for evaluating treatment and prognosis of HCC. Examination of these two proteins may be helpful to .judge biological behavior of HCC.
6.Survivin expression in endometriosis and normal human endometrium and effects of GnRH-a and COX-2 inhibitor on its expression.
Clinical Medicine of China 2008;24(11):1135-1137
Objective To investigate the role of survivin gene in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). Methods The expressions of survivin in endometriosis and normal endometrium tissue were determined ; the effects of GnRHa and COX-2 on the expression of survivin mRNA in endometriosis and normal endometrium in vitro and the effects of GnRHa and COX-2 on the apoptosis index in the cultured ectopie endometrial cells were investigated. Re-sults ①The expression of survivin mRNA was higher in patients with endometriosis than that of healthy controls (P <0.01) ,with no cyclical variation. ②GnBHa exerted a dose-dependent suppression of survivin mRNA expres-sion in cultured ectopic endometrioma cells as well as COX-2. The significant suppression was observed at the 100μg/L concentration of GnRHa and at the 40 μmol/L concentration of COX-2. No cooperation was found between them (P > 0.05). Conclusion ①The up-regulation of survivin mRNA expression may reduce the sensitivity of en-dometriotic cells to apeptosis. Elevated expression of survivin mRNA in ectopic endometrium may have important im-plications for the survival and proliferation of the ectopic endometrial tissue.②Both GnRHa and COX-2 can promote apoptosis by inhibiting survivin mRNA expression in ectopic endometrioma cells in vitro.
7.Artificial total hip arthroplasty for proximal femur tumors:clinical efficacy and security
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(26):4115-4119
BACKGROUND:With elevated medical levels, limb salvage surgery for limb malignant tumor is valuable day by day. At present, the limb salvage surgery has substituted amputation and becomes mainstream and development direction of present surgical treatment of limb tumors. However, so far, there are no unified surgical indications for proximal femur tumor, which are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of artificial total hip arthroplasty combined with extended resection of tumor sections for proximal femoral bone tumors. METHODS:Patients with proximal femoral bone tumors in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were selected and divided into control group and observation group, with 30 patients in each group. According to the disease, lesion curettage, aneurysm wal inactivation, autologous and (or) al ogeneic bone, mixed bone graft and bone graft fixation were selected to treat the control group. The observation group patients received extended resection of tumor sections and total hip arthroplasty. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and joint function of two groups were compared. 2 years later, patients were revisited. Metastasis and recurrence rate, death rate and quality of life of two groups were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and surgery time between the two groups (P>0.05). However, hospital stay of patients in the observation group was shorter than the control group. The excellent and good rate of recovery of joint function (83%) was higher in the observation group than in the control group (53%). The metastasis and recurrence rate within 2 years after surgery (7%) and death rate (3%) were lower in the observation group than in the control group (30%, 23%). Various indicators of quality of life of patients in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). These results confirmed that artificial total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of proximal femur tumors is safe and effective.
