Objective:To investigate the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on cell proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was detected immunohistochemically in paraffinmbedded specimen of 65 HCCs.Results:PCNA labeling index was significantly lower in the group of HCCs who underwent TACE preoperatively (35.83?12.23% vs 59.92?23.57%,P

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects of ets-1 antisense oligoxydeonucleotide(AsODN) on gastric carcinoma. Methods: Cultured SGC-7901 cells were devided into control group, sense oligoxydeonucleotide(sODN) group and AsODN group. After transfection for 24 h, expression of ets-1mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, growth inhibition was detected by colone formation assay, in vitro invasive ability assay was carried out in Transwell chamber,the animal model of xenotransplanted gastric carcinoma in nude mice was established to detect invasive ability in vivo. Results: ets-1 AsODN could under-regulate the expression of ets-1 mRNA, number of colone formation of AsODN group was significantly lower than the other two groups(24.2?4.8 vs 47.6?8.1 vs 44.3?7.6, P

Obiective:To evaluate the effects of various surgical procedures on liver carcinoma accompanied by portal hypertension.Methods:Combined surgical procedures which were performed in 26 patients with liver carcinoma accompanied by portal hypertension in our department between Aug,2002 and Aug,2008 were analysed retrospectively.Results:There was no operative mortality.The postoperative complications developed in 50%(13/26) patients.The postoperative survival rates of 1,2 and 3 years were 84.6%(22/26),57.7%(15/26),34.6%(9/26),respectively.Postoperative upper digestive tract hemorrhage developed in 10 cases.Fifteen patients died during follow-up period,of whom 7 cases died of recurrence of liver carcinoma,2 cases died of liver failure,6 cases died of upper digestive tract hemorrhage.Conclusion:The survival time can be prolonged and the postoperative complications can be reduced through perioperative cares and prudent selection of surgical procedures in patients suffering from concurrent liver cancer and portal hypertension.Combined operation is safe and feasible.

Objective:To investigate the expression of MACC1 in Klatskin tumor and the relationship between the clinicopathological features and prognosis and the expression of MACC1.Methods:Immunohistochemistry staining was employed to assess the expression of MACC1 protein in Klatskin tumor tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor bile duct tissues.Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to examine MACC1 mRNA expression in Klatskin tumor tissues and the adjacent non-tumor bile duct tissues and normal bile duct tissues.The correlation between MACC1 expression and the clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed.Results:The positive rate of MACC1 in Klatskin tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in matched adjacent non-tumor bile duct tissues(P＜0.05).MACC1 mRNA expression in carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in the non-tumor bile duct tissues and normal bile duct tissues(P＜0.05).MACC1 expression in Klatskin tumor tissues was related to tumor size,recurrence and lymphatic metastasis(P＜0.05).Survival analysis indicated that the 1-year,3-year,5-year survival rate were with significantly differences between the two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion:MACC1 expression was significantly higher in Klatskin tumor and it was related to the tumor size,recurrence and lymphatic metastasis.It would affect the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVETo clone the full length of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) related novel gene GYLZ-RCC18 and study its function.

METHODSSMART RACE technology was used to clone the full length of GYLZ-RCC18. RT-PCR was used to detect its expression in renal cell carcinoma tissue at different stages and grades. We transfected the antisense oligonucleotide of GYLZ-RCC18 to renal cell carcinoma cell line, GRC-1, and analyzed proliferation activity, growth rate, apoptosis, and mortality changes.

RESULTSThe full length of GYLZ-RCC18 (GenBank accession number: BE825133) cDNA was about 3.5 kb. GYLZ-RCC18 had a higher expression in higher grades and stages of renal cell carcinoma than in lower ones. The expression of GYLZ-RCC18 in renal cell carcinoma was much higher than in normal kidney. After the transfection of GYLZ-RCC18 antisense oligonucleotide, the mortality of GRC-1 increased significantly, while proliferative activity and growth rate were substantially inhibited at the same time. The antisense oligonucleotide induced apoptosis of GRC-1 through the entire observation time.

CONCLUSIONGYLZ-RCC18 is an important novel gene related to renal cell carcinoma. Overexpression of this gene results in higher growth and proliferative activity and has an antiapoptosis effect on renal cell carcinoma cells. Transfection of the antisense oligonucleotide may inhibit the generation and development of renal cell carcinoma.
