Tumor 2013;33(10):879-883
Objective: To investigate the effect of Scutellaria barbata D. Don on the expression of ADAM10 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10) in primary liver cancer tissues in rats. Methods: Total of 120 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal, model, matrine and Scutellaria barbata D. Don groups. The model of rat bearing primary liver cancer was induced by diethylnitrosamine. The rats in the matrine group and Scutellaria barbata D. Don group were fed with matrine and Scutellaria barbata D. Don powder, respectively. The rats in the normal group and model group were fed with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The number of hepatocellular carcinoma nodules was calculated, and the tumor growth inhibition rate was also calculated. The pathologic changes of hepatic tissues in rats of each group were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expressions of ADAM10 in liver cancer tissues in these four groups were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western boltting. Results: The number of hepatocellular carcinoma nodules of the matrine group and Scutellaria barbata D. Don group was less than that of the model group (P < 0.05) with the appearance of apoptotic bodies. The tumor growth inhibition rate of Scutellaria barbata D. Don group was higher than that of the matrine group (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate and the expression level of ADAM10 in liver cancer tissues of the model group were significantly higher than those of the normal group (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate and the expression level of ADAM10 in liver cancer tissues of matrine group and Scutellaria barbata D. Don group were lower than those of the model group (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate and the expression level of ADAM10 in liver cancer tissues of Scutellaria barbata D. Don group were lower than those of matrine group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Scutellaria barbata D. Don may inhibit the growth of primary liver cancer in rats through down-regulating the expression of ADAM10. Copyright © 2013 by TUMOR.

Objective To investigate the relationship between preoperative anemia,low albumin,low body mass index and the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer.Methods Three hundred and seventeen patients diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer as well as complete clinical pathology data from January 2006 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical pathologic factors including age,gender,tumor size,type of Borrmann,hemoglobin,serum albumin,body mass index,type of histology,blood vessels and lymphatic invasion,infiltration depth,lymph nodes metastasis.The single factor and multiple factors were analyzed.Results Tumor size,type of Borrmann,hemoglobin,serum albumin,body mass index,type of histology,blood vessels and lymphatic invasion,infiltration depth and lymph node metastasis were identified as influencing factors of the prognosis,while independent factors associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer were serum albumin (OR =1.546,95% CI:1.069-2.237),infiltration depth (OR =1.933,95% CI:1.182-3.162) and lymph nodes metastasis (OR =1.586,95% CI:1.358-1.853).Conclusion Anemia and low body mass index are the influence factors but not the independent factors in the prognosis of gastric cancer,while low albumin concentration is the independent factor in the prognosis of gastric cancer.

[Objective]To observe the clinical effect of the treatment of hyperplastic nonunion of the tibia with interlocking intramedullary nailing,fascia pedicled callus flap and bone grafting.[Method]Twelve cases of nonunion of the tibia were treated with intramedullary interlocking nailing,fascia pedicled callus flap and bone grafting,and there were 8 males and 4 females.The patients age ranged from 26 to 64 years,with an average of 45 years.[Result]All cases were followed-up for an average of 48 months and achieved a solid union within 4~6 months.[Conclusion]Intramedullary interlocking nailing,fascia pedicled callus flap and bone grafting have the design of the reasonable biomechanics,the function of untispinning and unticurtailing,less partial blood decompose.The fascia pedicled callus flap and iliac bone grafting could result in solid union and it is a recomment method for promoting bone-healing up after grafting and forming.

[Objective]To explore the allograft,as a substitute for autograft,whether can be used to repair the defect of the tendon and restore the stability of joint and the dynamic biomechanical changes of allograft after transplantation.[Method]Deep-frozen allogeneic achilles tendons of rabbits were used as treatment group,and autogenous ones as control.The achilles tendon defects of back limbs were repaired by allograft and autograft separately.The macroscopic,microscopic observation and biomechanical test were performed on both of them before transplantation and in 2,4 and 8 weeks after transplantation.[Result]It was showed that there were no differences in macroscopy,microscopy and mechanical strength between allograft and autograft both before and after transplantation.They may have experienced the similar healing course.The mechanical strength of allograft(except failure strain) was reduced significantly after transplantation.But it had a rising trend with time passing,although it was fairly low in 8 weeks compared with the normal such as maximum load.[Conclusion]The results demonstrate that the deep-frozen allograft can substitute for autograft in repairing the tendon defect,and because of the weakness of allograft after transplantation,it needs appropriate protection to prevent failure by excessive strain in early stage.

Objective To investigate and compare the short-term and long-term outcomes between percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) in coronary heart disease(CHD) patients comorbid with diabetes mellitus.Methods The DESIRE register study(Drug-Cluting Stent Impact on REvascularization) was a single-center retrospective study which enrolled 3763 patients who received revascularization therapy during two distinct pesiod.Our study included 670 CHD patients from the whole DESIRE population who received revascularization during July 2003 to June 2004 and comorbid with diabetes mellitus.According to the revasularizaton strategy,the patients were divided into the PCI group(n=400) and the CABG group(n=270).Adverse cardiac and vascular events were the composite endpoints which included all-cause of death,non-fatal myocardial infarction,non-fatal stroke and revascularization.Results Baseline data had no difference between the two groups.In-hospital adverse cardiac events in the PCI group was fewer than in the CABG group(0.5% vs 4.1%,P=0.001) as shown by a lower mortality in the PCI group compared with the CABG group(0.5% vs 3.3%,P=0.012).Duration of follow-up in the PCI group and the CABG group was 592.6?121.3 days and 581.5?148.3 days respectively.The incidence s of long-term adverse cardiac events had no differnce between the two groups,but an increase trend was observed in the PCI group compared with the CABG group(14.2% vs 9.0%,P=0.056),owing to a higher percentage of revascularization(8.5% vs 2.1%,P=0.001).Two groups had a similar incidence of death,non-fatal myocardial infarction,non-fatal stroke during the follow-up period.Conclusion With the wide-spread of DES application,in-hospital adverse cardiac events in the PCI group was fewer than in the CABG group especially in terms of mortality.Long-term adverse cardiac events had no differnce between two groups,but PCI group had more revascularization.
