Objective To explore the clinicopathelogical features of resectable carcinoma of the head of (pancreas).Methods A retrospcctive analysis was made on the clinicopathological data of 102 patients with cancer of the head of pancreas, who had received pancreatoduodenectomy from Nanfang Hospital in January 1990 to January 2003. Results The incidence rate of the peri-pancreatic tissue infiltration was 74.5%,the infiltration rate of retroperitonealfat was 27.5% and the incidence rate of peri-pancreatic lymph-node (metastasis) was 71.6%. Metastasis rate of 21.1% was seen in the abdominal aorta lymph nodes. (Conclusions) Surgically resectable carcinoma of the pancreatic head is not equivalent to early cancer. The surgical area of radical resection of cancer of the pancreatic head should at least include pancreatoduodenectomy and clearance of regional soft tissue and lymph nodes. It may be more reasonable if the abdominal aorta lymph nodes were assigned to the first station of lymph drainage of carcinoma of head of the pancreas.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsThe research was divided into 2 parts,including testing research and confirmatory research.The clinical data of 269 patients with HCC ( group A) and 390 individuals (including 135 patients with hepatic cirrhosis,106 with benign hepatic diseases and 149 healthy individuals,control group A) who were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January to May,2004,and 173 patients with hepatic cancer (group B) and 257 individuals (including 86 patients with hepatic cirrhosis,79 with benign hepatic diseases and 92 healthy individuals,control group B ) who were admitted from August to December,2004,and 80 patients with HCC who received radical hepatic resection in January 2005 were retrospectively analyzed.Samples of plasma of patients in the group A and individuals in the control group A were collected before operation.Samples of plasma of patients received radical hepatic resection were collected preoperatively and at postoperative day 3,7 and 30.HCC and adjacent issues of patients in the group A were collected.The levels of MIF in the plasma and tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry,respectively.Non-normal distribution data were described as M( QR).Differences between the groups were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney U test,and the relationship between the levels of MIF in the plasma and tissues was detected by the Spearman correlation coefficient.The diagnostic value of MIF was analyzed by the ROC curve.ResultsThe levels of MIF in the plasma of patients in the group A and individuals in the control group A were 85.7 μg/L (58.8 μg/L) and 15.5 μg/L(31.6 μg/L),respectively.The levels of MIF in the plasma of the patients with hepatic cirrhosis,benign hepatic diseases and healthy individuals were 24.9 μg/L (12.6 μg/L),12.5 μg/L(7.3 μg/L) and 13.2 μg/L (7.7 μg/L),respectively.There was a significant difference in the level of MIF between the group A and the control group A (F =54.235,P ＜ 0.05 ).The area under the ROC curve reached peak when the level of MIF in the plasma was 35.3μg/L.Compared with the control group B,the vdues of AUC,sensitivity and specificity were 92.1％,90.7％ and 93.4％ in the group B.The levels of MIF of the patients with HCC before operation and at 3,7,and 30 days after operation were 81.0 μg/L(54.0 μg/L),76.1 μg/L(47.5 μg/L),50.9 μg/L (40.7 μg/L) and 18.7 μg/L ( 15.1 μg/L),respectively.The levels of MIF decreased with time passed by,and were back to normal at 30 days after the operation.The median expressions of MIF in the HCC and adjacent issues were 0.083 and 0.007,respectively,with a significant difference ( U =3.975,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of MIF in the plasma was positively correlated with its expression in the HCC tissue ( r =0.759,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionMIF plays an important role in the genesis and development of HCC and has potential to be one of the molecular markers for the diagnosis of HCC.

Objective By analyzing the expression of cluster of differentiation 74 (CD74) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and HCC cell lines,the correlation between the level of CD74 expression and the patients' prognosis was investigated.MethodsThe expression of CD74 in high metastatic potential HCC cell lines(MHCC-LM3,MHCC-97H),low metastatic potential HCC cell line( MHCC-97L),and no metastatic potential HCC cell line(Hep-G2) were estimated by Western blot.The paraffin embedded tissues which include intra-tumor and paratumor tissues were collected from 320 patients who had received HCC curative surgical resection and 5 normal liver tissues from the donors of liver tranplantation.The high density tissue micro-array was made of these specimens. Immunol-histochemistry was applied to discover the different levels of CD74 in tumor,paratumor and normal liver tissues.Survival curves were generated by the Kaplan-Meier method and verified by the Logrank test.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was applied to estimate the prognostic factors in multivariate analysis.ResultsThe expression level of CD74 was significantly higher in low metastatic potential and no metastatic potential HCC cell lines (MHCC-97L 1.224 ±0.014,Hep-G2 1.374 ±0.006) than that in high metastatic potential ones( MHCC-LM3 0.622 ±0.078,MHCC-97H 0.732 ± 0.083 ).Significant differences can be found between the groups (t =- 13.308,- 16.849,- 10.177,- 13.436,- 17.057; P ＜0.01 ).Meanwhile,in tumor tissues,the CD74 was expressed positively in 221 patients and negatively in 99 patients.But CD74 was expressed slightly in paratumor and negatively in 5 normal liver tissues.There's no significant differences between the groups categorization according to age,HBsAg,cirrhosis,AFP level,tumor number,tumor size,tumor capsule,blood vessel invasion,Edmondson Grades and tumor nodes metastasis classification (TNM) stages (x2 =0.053,0.141,1.200,0.000,0.277,1.975,0.263,1.044,0.000,0.433 ; P ＞ 0.05 ),except gender (x2 =3.954,P ＜ 0.05).Kaplan-Meier method showed that patients with positively expression of CD74 had better prognosis than others (x2 =5.620,P ＜ 0.05 ).Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that CD74 was a significant and independent prognostic factor of survival [ hazard ratio (HR) =0.721,95％confidence interval (CI) =0.522 - 0.996,P ＜ 0.05 ].Conclusion The expression of CD74 in hepatocellular carcinoma could be a biomarker of the prognosis and there's some potential correlation with cancer cell apoptosis.

Objectlve To explore the mechanism of the protection in high expression of HO-1 induced by CoPP on murine islet xenografts. Method An islet transplantation of a SD rat-to-C57 BL/6 mouse model was established.Mice were randomized into five groups i.e.control,CoPP-induction in vivo,CoPP+ZnPP in vivo.CoPP-induction in vitro and CoPP+ZnPP in vitro and the islet xenografts were transplanted into the subrenal capsule.Normoglycemia time was recorded and insulin-releasing test was performed.IL-10、TNF-α、IL-1β and INF-γ in serum and their cytokine mRNA and HO-1 in xenografts were measured by RT-PCR and Western-blotting.The pathological examination was done to observe the lymphocyte infiltration. Results There Was significant difference in the normoglycemia time between CoPP-induction in vivo and in vitro and other three groups.The results of insulin-releasing stimulated by low level glucose were identical among groups,but that of insulin-releasing stimulated by high-glucose in in vivo group were the hiishest as in CoPP-induction in vivo and in vitro and control group were 187.68 ±19.93、137.22±11.73,91.25±12.64 μIU·ml~(-1)·10islets~(-1)·45 min~(-1),(P<0.05).The IL-10 in serum in CoPP-induction in vivo and in vitro(in vivo:72.97±9.74 pg/ml;in vitro:70.84±3.56 pg/ml)was significantly hisher than other three groups(control:30.57±3.93 pg/ml;CoPP+ZnPP in vivo:39.78±3.00 pg/ml;CoPP+ZnPP in vitro:35.42±4.30 pg/ml).The expression tendency of IL-10 mRNA was similar to that of insulin secretion.There was no significant difieFence in TNF-α、IL-1β and INF-γ.The expression of HO-1 by PCR and Western-blot analysis in CoPP-induction in vivo and vitro was higher than other three groups.The pathological examination showed that fewer lymphocytes infiltrated into the islet xenografts from CoPP-treated in comparison with xenografts from other three groups. Conclusion HO-1 could improve the survival of islet xenograft:the induetion of HO-1 expression in vivo was much mole efficient than in vitro.The CoPP-induction could be related to immune modulation of IL-10.

AIM:To study the relationship between expression of p53 protein and AgNORs count and histological grade in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.METHODS:Fifty-six patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and 25 normal pancreatic tissue were examined for mutant P53 protein by immunohistochemistry,silver binding nucleolar organizer regions(AgNORs)were counted in cancer cells,and histological grade was observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.RESULTS:P53 protein positive expression was 50% in pancreatic adenocarcinoma,P53 protein expression was negative in all normal pancreatic tissue.There is a significant difference in P53 expression between normal pancreatic tissue and pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissue.The mean AgNORs count was 9.14?2.08 in group with P53 protein positive expression,and 5.99?1.84 in group with P53 protein negative expression group.The P53 expression was associated with AgNORs significantly.The P53 expression was significantly related with histological grade,and AgNORs count was also significantly related with histological grade.CONCLUSION:P53 may be closely related to carcinogenesis and development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.P53 protein expression and AgNORs count might be a useful prognostic factor in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Objective To explore the change of glyoxalase I in type 2 diabetic ocular muscles palsy (DOMP) and its associations with advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and oxidative stress. Methods 58 DOMP patients, 50 T2DM and 30 normal controls were enrolled in this study. Levels of blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, insulin, serum glyoxalase I, AOPP, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were measured. Homeostasis model assessment was performed to evaluate the status of insulin resistance (IR). Results Levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, SOD and T-AOC were positively correlated with glyoxalase I and inversely associated to AOPP. Levels of triglycerides , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , fasting blood glucose , hemoglobin A1c , IR and MDA were negatively correlated with glyoxalase I and positively related to AOPP. AOPP had an inverse association with glyoxalase I (r = -0.823, P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that serum levels of glyoxalase I (Sβ = 0.554) and AOPP (Sβ= -0.469) were influencing factors of groups. Conclusion Serum glyoxalase I levels were significantly decreased in DOMP and correlated with AOPP and levels of oxidative stress , which suggest that glyoxalase I could play crucial roles on the development of DOMP.
