The mechanism and interaction among Rb/p16, Rb/E2F1 and HDAC1 proteins in gallbladder carcinoma were investigated. By using the immunoprecipitation method, the interactions among Rb, p16, E2F1, HDAC1 proteins in gallbladder carcinoma cell line (Mz-ChA-1) were studied. It was found that there were Rb and E2F1 proteins in the precipitates with anti-HDAC1, and there were HDAC1 and E2F1 proteins in the precipitate with anti-Rb. It was concluded that there are specific interactions among Rb, HDAC1 and E2F1 proteins in gallbladder carcinoma, indicating the existence of the direct Rb/E2F1/HDAC1 signal transduction pathway. There is no direct relationship between p16 proteins with Rb, HDAC1, and E2F1 proteins.

A 51-year-old man presented with multiple, disseminated dark erythematous maculopapules and nodules over the body surface for more than 1 year. Initially, the patient presented with dark erythematous macules on the trunk without discomfort. Then, lesions gradually spread over the whole body surface with the development of tenderness. Physical examination revealed multiple disseminated dark erythematous, well-demarcated maculopapules, infiltrative plaques and subcutaneous nodules on the face, neck, trunk, upper and lower limbs. Some lesions were tender on palpation. An enlarged cherry-like lymph node was detected on the right inguina. Bone marrow inspiration showed that lymphocytes amounted to 32.5%, and naive lymphocytes accounted for 10%. These lymphocytes varied in size with irregular shape, moderate amount of basophilic cytoplasm, irregular nuclei and granular chromatin. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse infiltrate of numerous medium-sized atypical blastic cells with irregular nuclei in superficial dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue. The blastic cells showed sparse fine-granular chromatin, obscure nucleoli and obvious karyokinesis. Immunophenotype examination showed that tumor cells were strongly positive for CD4, CD56 and CD43, weakly positive for CD68 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, but negative for L26, CD3, CD38, granzyme B and myeloperoxidase. The diagnosis of BPDCN is confirmed based on typical clinical features, histopathology and immunohistology findings.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism underlying propofol-induced inhibition of migration of human breast cancer cells and glyc olysis.Methods Human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 cells were inoculated in 12-well culture plates at a density of 3× 105 cells/well.After being cultured for 24 h,the cells were divided into 2 groups (n=12 each) by using a random number table:control group (group C) and propofol group (group P).Propofol at the final concentration of 5 μg/ml was added to the culture medium in group P,and the equal volume of phosphate buffer solution was added to the culture medium in group C.At 6 h of incubation,the culture media were changed to the common culture media containing no drugs,and the cells were then incubated for another 24 h.The culture media were collected for determination of glucose concentrations (by oxidase mnethod) and lactate concentrations (by chemical colorimetry).Glucose consumption and lactate production were calculated according to glucose and lactate concentrations.Cells were collected,the expression of lactate dehydrogenase A was detected by Western blot,and the migration of cells was determined by cell scratch test.Results Compared with group C,the consumption of glucose and production of lactate were significantly decreased,the expression of lactate dehydrogenase A was down-regulated,and the migration rate was decreased in group P (P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol inhibits migration of human breast cancer cells may be associated with inhibition of glycolysis.

Objective To summarize the experience in surgical treatment of hepatic cavernous hemangioma (HCH). Methods The clinical data of 345 patients who received HCH resection in General Hospital of PLA from 1986 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The ratio between male and female patients was 1/1.8. Eighteen patients (5.2%) were incidentally found with HCH during or after operation. Most of the HCH were located in the right lobe, with the proportion of 16.2% (56/345). Ninety-one patients (26.5%) had small HCH (diameter<5.0 cm), 173 (50.3%) had large HCH (diameter ranging from 5.0-10.0 cm), and 80 (23.2%) had giant HCH (diameter>10.0 cm). The mean diameter of the HCH was (8.0±5.0) cm. Three hundred and twenty-three (99.7%) patients were with Child pugh A. Right subcostal incision and enucleation were performed on all patients. The incidence of postoperative complications and mortality were 11.3% (39/345) and 0.3% (1/345), respectively. Caudate lobe resection was performed on 9 of 11 patients with the tumor located in caudate lobe. Conclusions Some HCHs may be easy to be misdiagnosed as hepatic solid tumor. HCH resection (inclu-ding hepatic caudate lobectomy) is safe for patients with HCH, and the most severe operative complication is massive bleeding during hepatectomy.
