Objective To discuss the clinical and pathological features of urachal carcinoma.Methods The clinical and pathological data of 7 patients diagnosed as urachal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed,and the cIinicopathologic features,diagnosis and treatment,surgical characteristics and surgical outcomes were reviewed.There were 6 males and 1 female.Patient's age ranged from 26-75 years,with average of 52 years.Examinations before surgery included ultrasound,cystoscopy,urine cytology,CT and IVU.Six patients underwent extensive partial cystectomy and 1 patient underwent conventional partial cystectomy. Results Pathological diagnosis were 5 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma,1 case of not classified adenocarcinoma,1 case of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.Clinical stages according to Sheldon staging system were 6 cases of stage ⅢA and 1 case of ⅢC.One patient died of bone metastasis 3 months after operation,1 patient experienced recurrence in bladder neck and urethra in 15 months and 24 months after operation and received TUR-Bt,the other 5 patients were alive without recurrence and metastasis with follow-up of 2-30 months. Conclusion Urachal carcinoma is a rare malignancy,and patients with this disease haye a poor prognosis.

BACKGROUNDKAI1 is a new identified metastasis-suppressor gene whose expression in many types of tumors has been reported. The aim of study is to investigate the role of KAI1 protein in development of lung cancer and its values in predicting the prognosis of lung cancer.

METHODSThe expressions of KAI1 protein were detected in benign pulmonary disease tissue, precancerous disease tissue, lung cancer tissue and metastatic lung cancer tissue in local lymph node using tissue microarray and immunohistochemical method. The relationship between expression of KAI1 protein and clinicopathological parameters of patients with lung cancer was analyzed by Chi-Square test and Fisher exact test.

RESULTSThe positive rate of KAI1 expression was 100.0% in 10 cases of benign pulmonary diseases, 66.7% in 12 cases of precancerous diseases, 24.7% in 89 cases of primary lung cancer and 0 in metastatic lung cancer tissue in local lymph node respectively. The KAI1 protein expression in primary lung cancer tissues had no remarkable relationship with age and gender of the patients and the location of cancer, but had significant relationship with the histological type and differentiated degree of tumor, P-TNM stages and lymph node metastatic status.

CONCLUSIONSThe abnormal expression of KAI1 protein may participate in malignant progression of lung cancer. Its downregulation may promote the invasion and metastasis of tumor cell. Detection of the expression of KAI1 protein may be helpful to predict the prognosis of lung cancer.

Objective To verify the clinical effect of Qinghuang powder in chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML). Methods 86 CML patients treated with Qinghuang powder, in which 28 cases also partially received herbal medicine (activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis). Results 62 cases had complete remission (72.1%), 14 cases partial remission (16.3 %), advance 8 cases(9.3 %), inefficiency 2 cases (2.3 %), and the total efficiency was 97.7 %. The symptom were improved after a week when patients had taken medicines. 44 cases have hepatomegalia, among them 39 cases have diminished or became normal compared to untreated. 70 cases have splenoparectasis, among them 60 cases became normal, 9 cases diminished, and 1 case had no change after treatment. It took 15.5 days in average when spleen began to diminish, and took 62.9 days to become smallest. The WBC began to decrease at 10.4 day and took 54.8 days in average became normal. The major side effect was digestive tract symptom, followed by skin pigmentation and skin excessive cornification. It could be avoided by low dosage. Conclusion Qinghuang powder could not only induce CML to CR, but also improve the clinical symptom of CML and eliminate the infiltration of leukemia cells. It has little influence to Hb and Plt.

Objective To determine the efficacy of liver cancer resection combined with splenectomy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with hypersplenism.Methods Among 35 patients with hepatocellular cancer and hypersplenism treated from March 2004 to January 2006 at our hospital,12 patients accepted simultaneous liver cancer resection and splenectomy (the splenectomy group)and 23 only accepted liver cancer resection (the non-splenectomy group).The liver function,platelets and white blood cells were analyzed retrospectively.Results All the operations were successfully carried out.Within 1 week after operation,the white blood cell count increased from (3.2 ± 1.7) × 109/L to (8.5±-5.3) × 109/L,the platelet count increased from (52.6±23.7) × 109/L to (245.3±94.6) ×109/L(P＜0.01) in the group of patients with combined splenectomy,while little change occurred in the non-splenectomy group.The liver function in the splenectomy group recovered to the preoperational value within 1 week.Two years after operation,7 (58.3％) patients were still surviving in the splenectomy group and the mean tumor-free survival was (16.4 ± 4.3) months compared with (14.3 ±5.2) months in 10 (43.5％) patients in the non-splenectomy group,(P＜0.005).Conclusion Liver cancer resection combined with splenectomy was efficacious to hepatocellular cancer with hypersplenism.

Objective To evaluate the value of neck blood vessel colored doppler ultrasound (NBVCDU) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to extracranial carotid artery stenosis in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods After implementing NBVCDU and MRA examinations at the same time,45 TIA patients with at least one examination showing arteriostenosis in extracranial section were chosen to carry out cerebral digital subtraction angiography( DSA ),then the stenosis rate was calculated by American symptomatic carotid endarterectomy trial (NASCET) method.Results Regarding DSA as the gold standard,for 45 TIA patients that having 180 arteriostenosis in extracranial section, sensitivity,specificity,accuracy of NBVCDU examination was 93.51% ,95.15% ,94.44%, Kappa = 0.735; sensitivity,specificity,accuracy of MRA was 92.21% ,94.17% ,93.33% , Kappa =0.681; sensitivity,specificity,accuracy of NBVCDU combined with MPA was 97.40% ,99.03% ,98.33%, Kappa = 0.872.Conclusions The sensitivity and accuracy of arteriostenosis in extracranial section by NBVCDU examination is higher than that by MRA, and it is suitable in the crowd primary examination.NBVCDU combined with MRA has shown good consistence with DSA for diagnosing arteriostenosis in extracranial section,but can't replace DSA comlpetely.

In order to regulate the apoptosis induced by Fas-FasL system, a soluble isoform of mouse Fas was cloned from thymocytes of immature mice with the primers designed according to the full-length Fas cDNA sequence in the GeneBank. It was directionally inserted into the intermedium vector pUC19. DNA sequencing proved that it was consistent with the expected sequence. Then it was subcloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pCA13, which was used to construct the recombinant vector pCA13-FasC. By lipofectamine (LF2000)-mediated transfection, pCA13-FasC was transfected into the 293 cells. RT-PCR and Western blot indicated that the murine soluble Fas C protein was expressed in the 293 cells. Apoptosis inducing test showed that the expression of this murine Fas C could block the Fas-induced apoptosis, which confirmed the biological activity of the recombinant Fas C.
