Objective To discuss the best resistance factors of paclitaxel(Taxinol)on benign biliary scar fibrosis,in order to provide an effective basis for clinical prevention and treatment of benign biliary scar fibrosis.Methods Human bile duct epithelial cells were cultured in vitro,the prepared PTX at 0.001 uM,0.005 uM,0.1 uM,0.5 uMand 1 uMconcentration were separately added into cells for 48 h.The half inhibitory rate of BEC (IC50) were determined by MTT and the optimal concentration were confirmed.Human bile duct epithelial cells were cultured in 0 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h,the inhibitory rate of BEC at 100 nM,250 nM,and 500 nM PTX-Chitosan Sustained release membranes and the optimal concentration of PTX were determined by MTT and the optimal concentration of PTX-SRM were obtained.Human bile duct epithelial cells were cultured for 48 h and 72 h,the mRNA and protein expression ofα-SMA,E-cadherin,Vimentin were detected by Western Blot and Real-time PCR methods.Results The optimum resistance concentration of PTX to benign biliary scar was 250 nM.PTX and PTX-SRM could effectively inhibit the proliferation and transformation of BEC,and the best effective treatments to resist benign biliary scar fibrosis were low and middle concentrations of PTX-SRM,the best drug loading were 100 nMand 250 nM.The inhibition duration of PTX-SRMon BEC was longer than PTX alone(P<0.05).Conclusion The inhibition of PTX-SRMon BEC proliferation and transformation is better than the single drug of PTX,which provides a new scientific and feasible method for clinical prevention and treatment of benign biliary scar.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of Qingpeng ointment in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapeutic phlebitis. Methods:Totally 72 patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy after pneumonectomy were randomly divided into control and observation groups. The control group was treated with the conventional therapy to prevent phlebitis, and on the basis of conrentional therapy the observation group was treated with Qingpeng ointment at the injection site and along with the vein be-fore the chemotherapy, at the beginning of the chemotherapy, during the chemotherapy and after the chemotherapy in the same day and on the next day. The treatment course was 3 days. The incidence of phlebitis, hierarchical cases, VAS score and pain duration between the groups were compared, and the adverse drug reactions were observed. Results:The pain degree and duration induced by phlebitis showed no significant differences between the groups(P>0. 05), while the pain degree and duration in the observation group were de-creased when compared with those in the control group. The incidence of phlebitis in the observation group was obviously lower than that in the control group with statistically significant difference (P <0. 05). No adverse reactions were found with the external use of Qingpeng ointment. Conclusion:Qingpeng ointment has certain efficacy with high safety in the prevention of tumor-chemotherapeutic phlebitis, which can improve patients’ compliance, and is worthy of promoted application in clinics.

Objective To investigate surgical treatment for tumor involved inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney.Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with tumor involved inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney who were admitted to Changhai Hospital affiliated to the Second Military Medical University from January 2007 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received preoperative imaging examinations to insure the site and range of inferior vena cava involvement at the upper segment of kidney.Renal cell carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement were found in 19 cases,leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava in 5 cases,leiomyomatosis involving inferior vena cava in 3 cases,adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava in 3 cases,liver cancer involving inferior vena cava in 2 cases,right adrenal pheochromocytomas in 2 cases,retroperitoneal fibrosarcoma involving inferior vena cava in 1 case.According to tumor involvement types,the different surgical approaches,planes and method of inferior vena cava exclusion,reconstruction method and prevention of tumor embolus detachment were selected.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till May 2015.Results Among 19 patients with renal cell carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement,10 patients were placed inferior vena cava filters through internal jugular vein before surgery,10 patients underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion and 9 patients underwent intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion.All the 19 patients received tumor resection and inferior vena cava embolectomy.Of the 5 patients with leiomyosar-comas of inferior vena cava,3 patients underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion and 2 patients underwent intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion.The diseased segments of 5 patients were resected,including 4 patients of artificial vascular graft and 1 patient complicated with resection of right kidney receiving simple ligation of inferior vena cava and left renal vein at proximal and distal tumors.Of the 3 patients with leiomyomatosis involving inferior vena cava,2 patients received total hepatic vascular exclusion and 1 was treated surgically under cardiopulmonary bypass.All the 3 patients underwent inferior vena cava embolectomy and hysterectomy.Three patients with adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava and 2 patients with liver cancer involving inferior vena cava underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion.Among the 5 patients,4 had direct suture after tumor removal combined with partial inferior vena cava resection,and 1 had patch repair after partial inferior vena cava resection.Two patients with right adrenal pheochromocytomas were exposed proximal and distal lifting devices of inferior vena cava without clamp,and the tumors were peeled off completely.Intraoperative death happened in the patient with retroperitoneal fibrosarcoma involving inferior vena cava who was prepared to undergo intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion but encountered intraoperative pulmonary embolism due to tumor thrombus shedding.Thirty-four patients of 35 patients underwent operation successfully without serious perioperative complications and a patient died in the perioperative period.The mean operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 2.8 hours (range,1.5-5.0 hours),2 000 mL (range,400-5 000 mL) and 9.2 days (range,6.0-16.0 days).Thirty-four patients were followed up for a median time of 12 months (range,1-60 months).During the follow-up period,a patient with leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava and 2 patients with adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava died of tumor recurrence,a patient with liver cancer had tumor recurrence,other patients were tumor-free survival.Conclusions Inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney is not contraindication for tumor resection.The appropriate way to expose,clamp and reconstruct are selected to safely remove the tumor based on extension and method of tumor involving inferior vena cava.

Objective To investigate the expression of ERCC1 in smoking patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and its relationship with clinical features and prognosis.Methods The expression of ERCC1 was detected in 96 patients with advanced NSCLC by PCR assay.The clinicopathologic factors, treatment effect and survival time were observed.Results The expression of ERCC1 was related to smoking index(P=0.029), but it was not related to other clinicopathological factors.The patients with low expression of ERCC1 had better response rate and median survival time when compared to those with high expression patients.The difference was statistically significant(P=0.001,P<0.01).Conclusion ERCC1 expression is associated with smoking index and the patients with low expression of ERCC1 shows higher chemotherapy efficiency and longer median survival than patients with high expression, which indicates that detection of ERCC1 may be a useful parameter in evaluating the therapeutic effect and prognosis of smoking patients with advanced NSCLC.

Background Perineural invasion is an important biological character for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of lacrimal gland,which is different from those of other lacrimal gland tumors.As the important part of neurotrophic factors,glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in perineural invasion for ACC of salivary gland.GDNF regulation in the ACC cell biology function needs to be further explored.Objective This study was to investigate the effect of GDNF on proliferation and migration of ACC cells,and to explore the mechanism of neural invasion in ACC of lacrimal gland.Methods ACC-2 cell line was cultured and passaged in RPMI 1640 medium with 10％ fetal bovine serum,100 U/ml penicillin and 0.1 g/L streptomycin.Single-cell suspension was prepared with the density of 2×104/ml using logarithmic phase of cells and then incubated to 96-well plate.GDNF with the final concentration of 20,60,80,100 and 120 μg/L was added into the medium respectively in the experimental groups,and the cells were cultured in the medium without GDNF as the control group.The expression of GDNF in ACC-2 cells was detected by immunohistochemistry.MTT assay was employed to assay the absorbance value at the wavelength of 570 nm (A570) for the evaluation of proliferation of ACC-2 cells after cultured by different concentrations of GDNF for different time points.Meanwhile,transwell chamber was used to examine the cell migrated number.Results Immunochemistry assay exhibited that ACC-2 cells showed the positive response for GDNF with the brown staining in the cytoplasm.In 48 hours after culture,the A570 value was elevated with the increase of GDNF concentration,showing a significant difference among various groups (F =3.336,P =0.026),and the A570 value in various concentrations of GDNF groups was higher than that of 0 μg/L GDNF group (all P＜0.05).After action of 80 μg/L GDNF,the A570 value of the cells was gradually increased with the prolong of culture time (Ftime =39.979,P=0.000).In 30 minutes after GDNF cultured,the number of migrated cells increased with the increase of GDNF concentration (F=144.886,P=0.000).ACC-2 cells were cultured by 100 μg/L GDNF for 24,30 and 40 hours,the number of migrated cells were more as the time lapse,and more migrated cells were seen in GDNF group at various time points (Ftime =46.747,P =0.000 ; Fgroup =63.786,P =0.000).Conclusions GDNF can stimulate the proliferation and migration of ACC-2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.
