Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2009;9(4):250-252
Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas to better our understanding of this rare exocrine pancreatic neoplasm. Methods The clinical data of five cases of adenosquamous carcinoma of pancreas admitted between July 2002 and June 2008 were analyzed retrospectively, and relevant literature was reviewed and discussed. Results Pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma was found in 3 men and 2 women with a mean age of 64 ± 18 years old. Tumor was located in the head of pancreas in 2 patients, body and tail in 3 cases. One patient was submitted to pancreaticoduodenectomy, three patients underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy and one had cholecystojejunostomy and gastric bypass surgery, as well as 1251 implantation. The mean size of the tumor was 4.5 cm. One patient had posterior stomach wall, descending duodenum, portal vein involvement; spleen was invaded in 2 cases; neural and vessel invasion was present in 2 cases. Lymph node metastasis was present in 1 case. Pathologically primary tumor and liver metastasis were mixture of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. In all 5 patients with complete follow up, 3 died of tumor recurrence or liver metastasis with a mean postoperative survival time of 11.2 momths (8.5 ~ 13.5 months). The other 2 cases survived for 6 and 56 months , respectively. Conclusions Pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma was likely to be found in patients in their 60s, and confirmative diagnosis was difficult. The prognosis of this rare tumor appeared to be dismal due to the high degree of malignancy.
2.Pancreatic fistula after pancreatectomy
International Journal of Surgery 2009;36(9):617-620
Pancreatic resection is the treatment choice for pancreatic malignancy and cer-tain benign pancreatic disorders. Althogh, pancreatic resection requires high techndogy whereas current mortality after a pancreaticoduodenectomy has dropped to below 3 % in expe-rienced high-volume centers and post-operative morbidity is still as high as 50%. At pres-ent, the single most significant cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreatectomy is the development of pancreatic leakage and fistula (PF). The occurrence of a PF increases the length of hospital stay and the cost of treatment, requires additional investigations and proce-dures, and can result in life-threatening complications. Early recognition of a PF and prompt institution of appropriate treatment is critical to the prevention of potentially devastating con-sequences; however there is no universally accepted definition of PF that would allow stand-ardized reporting and proper comparison of outcomes between different centers. The present article reviews the conlept evolution of PF and discusses the current preventive strategies.
3.Relationship between NF-kB and pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(9):615-618
NF-κB is a nuclear transcription factor with multiple adjustion. The activation of NF-κB can occur by three different mechanisms. The multiple NF-κB activation pathways are important due to the large number of genes that are regulated by NF-κB and their effects on cancer cells. These gene products can promote growth and tumori-genesis, inhibit apoptosis, allow metastasis and invasion, promote angingenesis, and cause chemoresistance. All of these roles in pancreatic cancer make NF-κB a promising target in treatment. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of NF-κB becomes a hot spot and novel idea of preventing and treating pancreatic cancer.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(12):1526-1528
Objective To construct a simple method for the measurement of activity of S-homocysteine methyltransferase (HMT),and explore the best processing condition for HMT and the preservation of HMT.Methods HMT was expressed in pro-karyotic system by using genetic engineering technology,then was purified by using affinity and Sephadex G1 5 chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)was performed to identify the physicochemical and bio-logical properties of target protein.Based on the principle of 5 ,5′-disulfide-double (2- nitro benzoic acid)(DTNB)could react with sulfydryl compounds rapidly,the reduction of homocysteine was detect to evaluate the activity of enzyme,then the best processing conditions of HTM were determined.Activity of enzyme,preserved in preservation solution with or without glycerol and preserved under different temperatures,was detected.Activity remaining ratios were detected and compared between HMT preserved in pres-ervation solution with different protective agents of different concentration and preserved by cryodesiccation.Results The purity of recombined HMT was above 95%,with molecular weight of 36 000 and excellent catalytic activity,and the catalytic activity was 2 000 U/mg.The optimum condition for the detection of biological activity was using HEPES buffer of pH 7.4 at 37 ℃ and reac-tion for 25 min.Glycerol could significantly prolong the preserving time of HMT,and half activity of HMT could be remained for six months.The reservation rates of activity of HMT,preserved in preservation solution with mannitol and trehalose,were 104%and 100%,respectively.Conclusion HMT could be obtained through genetic engineering.A simple test method of HMT was es-tablished,and the best processing conditions and preserving methods of HMT were determined,which laid a foundation for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate accuracy of preoperative tumor grade and intracperative gross examination of myometrial invasion in patients with clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma for lymphadenectomy. Methods Clinic-pathological data were retrospectively collected from 687 patients with clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma who underwent operation in Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 1999 to December 2008. According to postoperative histology diagnosis, accuracy of preoperative tumor grade by curettage and depth of myometrial invasion by intraoperative gross examination was evaluated, and clinic-pathological factors associated with accuracy were analyzed. Results Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, false negative rate, false positive rate, and positive and negative predictive value for the prediction of needing for intraoperative lymphadenectomy in patients with clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma were 70. 4% ,80. 2% ,77.6% ,12.0%, 43.0%, 57.0% and 88.0%, respectively. Analysis of mutil-factors shown that patient age, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and extrauterine spread lesions were independent factors affected the accuracy of prediction(P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Prediction of needing for lymphadenectomy by preoperative tumor grade and intraoperative gross examination of myometrial invasion is reliable in clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma patients, while there is a highly false negative rate in prediction of not needing for lymphadenectomy, while other prognostic factors such as patient age, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and extrauterine spread lesion should be together considered.
