Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2001;8(3):205-207
Objective To evaluate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on tumor angiogenesis, and its usage in tumor therapy. Methods The recent literatures about VEGF and angiogenesis were reviewed and analyzed. The advances of VEGF study were summarized. The effects of anti-angiogenesis in tumor biological therapy were introduced.Results Angiogenesis had been identified as an important factor for promoting tumor growth. VEGF was a basic and pivotal factor in tumor angiogenesis. The anti-angiogenesis treatments aimed at VEGF, including the applications of VEGF inhibitor and gene therapy of adenovirus medium, had got great progress. Conclusion VEGF is a leading factor of tumor angiogenesis, the anti-angiogenesis therapy aimed at VEGF has probably provided a new chance to malignant tumor treatment.

Objective To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment of primary splenic neoplasm (PSN). Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with PSN treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Amongst the patients, 25 were diagnosed as PSN postoperatively. Fifteen out of the 19 patients with benignancy were treated with splenectomy, and the others underwent partial splenectomy or tumor excision. Eleven out of the 12 patients with malignancy received splenectomy (including two by excision of pancreatic body and tail), and the other one underwent biopsy alone. The pathological types were as follows: varieties of cyst in 11, angiocavemoma in 4, inflammatory pseudotumor in 2, cavernous lymphangioma in 1, cystic degeratin of liomyoma in 1, malignant lymphoma and lymphsarcoma in 6, hemangiosarcoma in 3, fibrosarcoma in 1, liomyosarcoma in 1 and malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 1. Three patients with malignancy survived for 5 years. The reason was that they received radical splenectomy in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Conclusions PSN should be diagnosed mainly according to clinical manifestations and image examination. The differentiation between benignancy and malignancy depends on CT, hemangiography and determination of seros AKP and ? GT levels. Early diagnosis, radical operation and comprehensive treatment are important for improving the prognosis of PSN.

Objective To study the changes of ventilatory function of young soldiers coming from different regions during cold - tol-erance training. Methods The recruited young soldiers were divided into 2 groups:Group Ⅰ (50 coming from the northern region)and group Ⅱ (50 coming from the southern region) . According to the new training outline of cold -tolerance in winter,their ventilatory func-tions were tested before training and 60 days after training. Ventilatory functions were compared between smoking and non - smoking sub-jects. Results 25% forced expiratory flow (FEF25%) , 50% forced expiratory flow (FEF50%) and 75% forced expiratory flow (FEF75 %) were significant different between two groups before the course of training (P < 0.05). After 60 days, ventilatory functions of two groups were improved significantly as compared with that before training (P <0.01 ,P <0.05). There was no significant difference in ventilatory between two groups after 60 days of training (P > 0.05). There was significant difference in partial small airway function be-tween smoking and non - smoking subjects. Conclusion Cold air could decline the small airway function of soldiers coming from south-ern region before training. Cold -tolerance training has significant influence on soldiers' ventilatory function. Long- term and heavy smok-ing could decline the small airway function.

AIM: To study the protective effect of cardiomyopeptidin (CMP) attributed to polypeptide on cultured myocardial cells injured by anoxia-reoxygenation.METHODS: The anoxia-reoxygenation injury model were developed, anoxia for 60 min and reoxygenation for 30 min. The effect of CMP on myocardial ultrastructure was observed. [Ca2+]i was estimated with adherent cell analysis and sorting 570(ACAS 570) laser cytometer and measured with fluorescent dye Fura-2-AM, the lipid fluidity of cellular membrane was determined by fluorescence polarization technique. RESULTS: CMP could obviously improve the ultrastructure of myocardial cells and dose-dependently decrease [Ca2+]i and increase the lipid fluidity of cellular membrane, CMP also could markedly reduce the chromaticity value of pseudo-colour graphic model of Ca2+. CONCLUSION: Cardiomyopeptidin has an obvious protective effect on cultured myocardial cells injured by anoxia-reoxygenation, this may be related to its effect of decreasing [Ca2+]i and increasing lipid fluidity of cellular membrane.
