To explore the value of local anesthesia under ultrasonic guidance for establishing puncture path of superficial tumor.A total of 144 patients with superficial tumor received local pre-puncture anesthesia under ultrasonic guidance so that all lesions were targeted.Transient aggregation of narcotics was applied for raised (n =12) or superficial (n =15) skin lesions.The clarity of scanning acoustic window was enhanced,the puncture distance of tumor broadened and the mass of axial changed to obtain a longer lymph node cortex.The damage of blood vessels occurred easily due to tumor closeness to large blood vessel or shortened puncture path in 17 cases.Anesthetic drug was injected between tumor and blood vessels to enlarge the thickness for visualizing the puncture needle tract clearly.And puncture was accomplished under the guidance of color Doppler.Therefore a puncture path can be created effectively with local anesthesia by ultrasonic guidance.

Objective To study the biological behavior of silicon nanoparticles in penetrating the blood-prostate barrier. Methods Silicon nanoparticles were prepared by means of chemical procedures.The silicon nanoparticles were added into HT1080 cells and cultured for 48 h to observe the distribution of nanoparticles in the cells.The nanosuspension at gradient concentration (0.005,0.010,0.015,0.020,0.025 ml/g)was injected into 100 mice (20 mice of each group) intraperitoneally or via tail vein to study the distribution of nanoparticles in the prostate.Additional 20 mice served as controls.The mortality and toxic reaction at 2 weeks after injection were also recorded. Results Electronic microscopy confirmed the penetration of silicon nanoparticles into HT1080 cells,the prostate gland and interstitial tissue,with intracellular ultrastructure intact.There was no significant difference in body weight,diet,defecation and activities among the 5 treatment groups and control group. Conclusions Silicon nanoparticles can overcome the obstruction of drug transportation by blood-prostate barrier or other biomembranes and thus may be promising as a drug carrier in treatment of prostate diseases.

Objective To study changes in the expression levels of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 of mononuclear cells and the related chemotatic factor macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) in the livers of rats with Walker-256 tumors treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and to elucidate the influence of RFA on differentiation and migration of liver dendritic cells(DCs).Methods Walker-256 liver tumors were induced in 60 SpragueDawley rats by implanting tumor particles. These rats were randomly divided equally into three groups from which liver tissue around the local area of the tumor was sampled at 7 d and 14 d after RFA. The mononuclear liver cells were separated with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. The expression levels of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 in the mononuclear cells were analyzed with flow cytometry. The expression level of MIP-1α in the liver tissue was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The average expression of OX-6 in the control rats was 15.29 ±4.59% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 34.20±11.62% and 39.18±9.14% respectively. The difference between the two RFA groups and the control group was statistically significant. The average expression rate of OX-62 in the control rats was 18.91±4.58% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 24.49±4.45% and 22.77 ± 3.50% respectively. The difference between the 7 d group and the control group was significant. The average expression rate of CD86 in the control rats was 66.29±17.69% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 55.29±10.69% and 55.93±12.64% respectively. These differences between both RFA groups and the controls group were not significant. The average expression level of MIP-1 α around the tumors was 232.92±54.58 pg/ml in the controls and 499.38±15.14 pg/ml and 495.90±9.94 pg/ml 7d and 14 d after RFA respectively. These differences from the controls were both statistically significant. Conclusion The expression of MIP-1α around the tumors was elevated after RFA, which could promote the migration of DCs. The changes in the expression of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 also could reflect increased DC differentiation, which could improve local antigen-presenting capacity to a certain extent and recovery of host anti-tumor immune response.

Objective To investigate the change of dendritic cells (DCs) in rats with hepatic carcinoma treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA),and to explore the mechanisms of anti-tumor immune response to RFA. Methods Forty healthy SD rats with established animal model of hepatic carcinoma were randomly divided into control group (n = 10) ,RFA 7 d group (n = 16) and RFA 14 d group (n = 14). The rats of control group were killed without treatment. The other rats were killed in 7 d and 14 d after RFA treatment respectively. Peripheral blood, liver tissue around the ablation area and spleen were taken out. The OX62,OX6,CD86 of DCs were analyzed with flowcytometry. Results ①OX62 cells accounted for (0.45 ± 0.19)% of mononuelear cells in peripheral blood in control group. The account of OX62 cells increased to (0.78 ± 0.30)% and (1.53 % 0.80)% in RFA 7 d and 14 d groups respectively. There were significant differences between control and RFA 7 d group, control and RFA 14 d group (P<0.05). ②OX62 cells accounted for (18.91 ± 4.58)% of mononuclear cells in liver tissue around the tumor in control group. The account of OX62 cells increased to (24.49 ± 4.59)% in RFA 7 d group (P<0.05). The expression of OX6 on DCs in liver tissue was (15.29 ± 4.59)% and increased to (34.2 ± 11.62)% and (39.18 ± 9.14)% in RFA 7 d and RFA 14 d group respectively (P<0.05). ③OX62 cells accounted for (11.69 ± 4.39)% of mononuclear cells in spleen in control group which increased to (15.10±2.37)% in RFA 14 d group (P<0.05). Conclusions The precursor DCs in peripheral blood and DCs in liver and spleen increased significantly after RFA. The expressions of OX6 on DCs in liver and spleen increased after RFA. RFA can promote the differentiation and maturation of DC. The increased function of antigen presenting may contribute to the anti-tumor responses after RFA.

Objective To study the effect of down-rdgulation of EF-1 alpha gene in prostate cancer cell line DU-145 on cancer cell migration and invasion by using RNA interference technique. Methods The prostate cancer cell line DU-145 was divided into three groups: the control group (untransfected with siRNA), randomly control group (randomly transfected with siRNA) and experimental group (transfected with EF-1 alpha siRNA). Localization of EF-1 alpha and its relationship with F-actin in cytoplasm were analyzed by immunofluorescence technique. Cancer cell migration and invasion capability of DU145 cells were studied by transwell technique in these three groups. Results EF-1 alpha expression in DU145 cell line was down-regulated by using RNA interference technique. EF-1 alpha was localized in cytoplasm and co-located with F-actin. The down-regualtion of EF-1 alpha did not change the F-actin distribution in cytoplasm. The cell migration and invasion study showed that after seeding 20×104 DU145 cells into the upper chamber of transwall for 12 hours, the cells collected in the lower chambers were (10.6±1.0)×104 in control group, (11.2±0.8)×104 in randomly control group and (3.9±0.6)×104 in experimental group. Compared with controls, the cancer cell migration and invasion capability was significantly inhibited to only 37.1% (t= 13.9, P<0.05) after the specific down-regulation of EF-1 alpha expression in DU145 cells. Conclusions The down-regulation of EF-1 alpha expression has negative impacts on prostate cancer cell migration and invasion. EF-1 alpha plays important roles in prostate cancer local invasion.

Objective To study the elongation factor 1α(EF-1α) gene functions in prostate cancer cell line DU145 in the aspects of cell proliferation and clone formation by using the RNA interference technique. Methods DU145 cell lines were divided into control group, transfection control group transfected with scramble siRNA and experimental group transfected with EF-1α siRNA. After transfecting EF-1α siRNA into DU145 cell line, the down-regulation of EF-la expression in DU145 cell line was confirmed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. Then, the cell proliferation and clone formation assays were carried on in these 3 groups of DU145 cells. Results Compared with controls, the specific down-regulation of EF-1α expression was achieved in experimental group only. Compared with control group, after the down-regualtion of EF-1α in DU145 cell line, the cell proliferation rate decreased from day 4 to day 7 after transfection by 45. 9%, 53. 5% , 35. 3% and 38. 1% , respectively(P<0. 05). The clone formation number in experimental group decreased by 67.0% (P<0. 01). Conclusions The down-regulation of EF-1α has a negative impact on prostate cancer cell proliferation and clone formation. EF-1α might be an appropiate targeting gene in prostate cancer targeting therapy.
