Acta Anatomica Sinica 1989;0(S1):-
The distribution and types of fibronectin (Fn) on vessel wall and platelt surface in human being and rat were studied with rabbit anti-human and rabbit anti-rat Fn antisera and monoclonal antibody against human Fn. It was found that the Fn of mainly cellulartype is chiefly distributed within the layer of subendothelium and near the luminal surface of aorta. In connective tissue of the adventitia there was a large amount of Fn of the plasma and cellular types. The distribution of Fn in the wall of the middle-sized arteries was similar to that in the aortic wall. The Fn of the cellular type in the human aortic subendothelium was more abundant than that in the rat. There were only little amount of Fn on the surface of resting platelet. Nevertheless, when they were activated by thrombin, the amount of Fn on their surface increased, chiefly of the plasma type. The r sult of this work seems to have practical significance in the investigation of the mechanism of platelet adhesion on vessel subendothelium matrix.

Background and purpose: Mel-18 is one of the mammalian polycomb group members. A number of related researches have implied that Mel-18 may play a role in human tumorigenesis.In this study, we measured the expression of Mel-18 in gastric carcinoma cells in vivo to explore the expression and clinical significance of Mel-18 in gastric carcinoma. Methods: Real time RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Mel-18 in cancer tissue and corresponding normal tissue in 52 cases of gastric carcinoma. The association between Mel-18 expression and the clinicopathological parameters of the tumors was analyzed. Results: The analysis revealed that there was significantly decreased expression of Mel-18 in 18 (34.62%)carcinoma tissues in comparison with para-cancer normal tissue. There was no correlation between Mel-18 expression and clinicopathological parameters, such as age, gender, tumor size and histological differentiation (P>0.05).The decrease of Mel-18 expression was significantly negatively correlated with lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P<0.05). The expression levels of Mel-18 evaluated by the ratios of gene expression were 1.357,0.453,0.183 and 0.170 in stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ gastric carcinoma, respectively. They were 0.634 and 0.210 in patients without lymph node metastasis and in patients with lymph node metastasis, respectively. Expression of Mel-18,lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage were significant covariates, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our results showed that Mel-18 might play a crucial role in tumorigenesis and progression of gastric carcinoma. It is possible that Mel-18 could be used as one of the biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To explore the relationships of self-esteem, implicit self-esteem and perfectionism in the depressed patients. Methods Both of the depression group (n=50) and control group (n=45) completed the self-esteem scale (SES), the self-acceptance questionnaire (SAQ), the Chinese Frost multidimensional perfectionism scale (CFMPS), the implicit association test and the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices. The implicit association test were performed before (pre-IAT) and after (later-IAT) the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices. Results The SES score was lower in depression group than in control group (P=0.002). To the IAT score, the interaction effect of group and time achieved no statistically different (P=0.735). The group main effect of IAT was significant (P=0.001). The IAT score was higher in de?pression group than in control group (P=0.013). The time main effect was significant (P=0.033). The pre-IAT was higher than later-IAT (P=0.007). The depression group had higher scores of concern over mistakes (P=0.007) and doubt about action (P=0.006) dimension of CFMPS, and lower score of parental expectations (P=0.038) dimension than the control group. The later-IAT was negatively related with parental expectations dimension and the total score of CFMPS in the de?pression group (P<0.05). Depressed patients’SES and SAQ scores were negatively related with concern over mistakes and doubt about action dimension and the total score of CFMPS (P<0.05). Conclusion The instability of implicit self-es?teem of depressed patients is associated with negative perfectionism.

Objective To evaluate the application of embolic material, iron oxide nanoparticles?lipiodol?gelatin in the improvement of therapeutic effect of microwave ablation in vitrogelatin phantom model and in vivo VX2 renal tumors model. Methods After preparing new embolic material containing nano Fe2O3, in vitro model experiment was firstly conducted to verify the temperature distribution of the microwave ablation. Further verification was performed in bilateral renal VX2 tumors in rabbit model. A total of 10 (20 kidneys) New Zealand White rabbits bearing renal VX2 tumors were treated by renal artery embolization and CT guided microwave ablation, in which left kidneys were treated by material containing nano Fe2O3 in iodized oil and right kidneys were treated by renal embolization with super liquid iodized oil as a control. The same microwave ablation time and power were used for both kidneys. CT perfusion and histopathological examinations were performed to determine the renal perfusion parameters, tumor histopathology and tumor?related angiogenesis. Results In vitro experiments, when nano Fe2O3 was present in the local area at 1cm from the microwave needle at 20 and 60, the temperature reached(59.1 ± 1.7)° C, (95.5 ± 4.5)° C vs.(31.1 ± 2.5)and(45.6 ± 3.5)° C in the controls. Our present results strongly suggested that local nano Fe2O3 particles absorbed microwave and shielded microwave energy transferring to the surrounding tissue. Before and immediately after renal VX2 tumor embolization, blood flow significantly reduced from (31.4 ± 10.6) to (6.1 ± 9.9) ml · 100 ml-1 · min-1. Our pathology findings indicated nano Fe2O3?lipiodol-gelatin embolic agent stored in endovascular regions, while no penetration into the renal parenchyma happened. Conclusions This in vitro model and in vivo experiment suggest that the new embolic material containing nano Fe2O3 may help to improve heat efficiency of MWA microwave, and it is feasible to administer it through transcatheter arterial embolization approach for the microwave ablation therapy of kidney cancer.
7.Targeted therapy of metastatic renal cell carcinoma
China Oncology 1998;0(01):-
Surgery is the only curative treatment modality for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, approximately 30% of patients who undergo successful nephrectomy for RCC will develop locoregional or metastatic recurrence. Effective treatment for recurrent or metastatic RCC is limited. It is known that conventional radiation therapy and chemotherapy are relatively ineffective for RCC patients with distant metastases. Although immune therapy with high dose interleukin can provide disease control for a portion of patients with advanced RCC, its therapeutic effect usually is not sustainable. In addition, substantial adverse effects and complications have limited the use of high dose interleukin treatment. Advances in the understanding at the molecular level of cancer have led to much progress in the development of anti-cancer agents, including drugs of targeted cancer therapy. Targeted therapy is not only effective in cancer treatment, but also has reduced adverse effects compared with conventional chemotherapy and immune therapy. Much progress in the treatment of advanced RCC by targeted therapy has been achieved in recent years. In this review, we will illustrate the roles, mechanisms and effects of several targeted therapy agents, including the two newly FDA-approved drugs, sorafenib and sunitinib, in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma.
