9.The mechanism about the role of RhoA/ROCK singal pathway in portal hypertension
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2014;20(3):235-240
The hepatic portal system is a unique circulatory system that connects two systems of capillary beds ; one in the wall of the small intestine and spleen and the second in the sinusoidal area of the liver.Therefore,alterations in vasoreactivity (vasodilation and vasoconstriction) play a critical role in the pathophysiology of portal hypertension (PHT).The RhoA/ ROCK pathway exerts an important role in the Ca2+-independent mechanism in vascular smooth muscle (VSM).This mechanism not only modulates the constriction of intrahepatic small vessels and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) but also effects the hyperdynamic circulation due to vascular hyporesponsiveness.Understanding the detailed mechanism and role of the RhoA/ROCK signal pathway in portal hypertension could be of great utility in providing a new target for portal hypertension therapy.
10.Comprehensive interventional therapy for pancreatic cancer:current progress
Journal of Interventional Radiology 2014;(5):452-455
Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant neoplasm of digestive system with a fairly poor prognosis, the diagnosis rate in its early stage is low, and in recent years its incidence rate has become more and more high. Surgical remove is the only radical means, whereas only 20% of patients can get the oppotunity of surgery when the diagnosis is confirmed. More unfortunately, the five-year overall survival rate after the surgery is as low as 15 - 20%. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to improve the survival rate and to prolong survival time. Comprehensive interventional therapy has many advantages, as the technique is safe and mini-invasive with satisfactory short-term efficacy. Nowadays, interventional therapy has become the hot point in the research of pancreatic cancer. This paper aims to make a review about the current situation and progress of interventional treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer.
