Cholangiolocellular carcinoma (CLC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer,which is thought to originate from hepatic progenitor cells.CLC is categorized as a different tumor type from the conventional intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (cICC) due to its unique histological and embryological features.This review summarizes the clinical,radiological and pathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of cICC and CLC.This pathological classification may provide important clinical implications for the treatment and outcome evaluation of this disease.

Objective We analyzed the curative effect of ERCC1 and RRM1 expression on the Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy of stage Ⅲ NSCLC to investigate the guiding function of ERCC1 and RRM1 expression in chemotherapy regimen containing platinum.Methods Branch DNA-liquid phase chip methods were used to detect ERCC1 and RRM1 expressions before chemotherapy in 80 cases of stage Ⅲ NSCLC confirmed by pathology.All patients received 2 periods Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy with GP regimen.According to WHO efficacy appraisal standard,the Enhanced Scan of CT showing reaching complete remission or partial remission was effective or stable,otherwise the progression was considered ineffective.Results For the 80 cases of stage Ⅲ NSCLC,the treatment for 20 of the 25 patients with low expressions of both ERCC1 and RRM1 were effective with an effective rate of 80.0％;The treatment for 14 of the 23 patients with low expressed ERCC1 and high expressed RRM1 were effective with an effective rate of 60.9％;The treatment for 10 of the 20 patients with high expressed ERCC1 and low expressed RRM1 were effective with an effective rate of 50.0％;and the treatment for 4 of the 12 patients with both high expression were effective with an effective rate of 33.3％.The difference of effective rates among the four groups had statistical significance ( x2=7.81,P＜0.05 ) with group A having significantly higher rate than the other three groups and group B and group C having significantly higher rate than group D ( P＜0.05 ).Conclusion ERCC1 detection has guiding significance on the regimen selection of NSCLC Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy.It was worthwhile to use ERCC1 detection widely in the individualized treatment of the stage Ⅲ NSCLC before surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of speech therapy on mental health of patients with aphasia. MethodsCRRCAE and SCL-90 were used to assess the speech and mental state in 28 aphasia patients. All aphasia patients were treated by using speech therapy and the changes before and after treatment were compared. ResultsThe scores in listening comprehension, repetition, naming, reading,reading comprehension, writing and counting were distinctly higher at post-treatment than that at pre-treatment. All SCL-90 factor's levels at post-treatment were distinctly reduced than that at preat post-treatment(P<0.01).Conclusions Speech therapy can improve the language function,as well as mitigate the mental symptoms.

Background Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)has been reported to have beneficial effect on cardiac dysfunction in post infarction and doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.Objective To investigate the effects of G-CSF on cardiac remodeling in cardiac hypertrophy induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ).Methods Thirty-six male wild type mice(WT)were allocated randomly to receive subcutaneously G-CSF(10 ?g/kg per day, n=9),or Ang Ⅱ(2.88 mg/kg per day,n=9),or Ang Ⅱ plus G-CSF(Ang Ⅱ 2.88 mg/kg+G-CSF 10 ?g/kg,n =9)for 4 weeks with untreated WT(n=9)as controls.Blood pressure and cardiac function were measured. Heart weight/body weight ratio,myocyte cross-sectional area and fibrosis area were determined.The mRNA ex- pression of osteopontin(OPN)in myocardium was detected by RT-PCR.The expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE),ACE2 and phosph-p70S6 kinase protein in myocardium were assessed by Western-Blot.Results Ang Ⅱ significantly elevated blood pressure(SBP,Ang Ⅱ:139.7?1.6 vs WT:108.7?2.3 mmHg,P0.05),but significantly attenuated the myocyte cross-sectional area(Ang Ⅱ+G-CSF:181.06?0.11 vs Ang Ⅱ:202.02?0.16 ?m~2,P

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of STAT3 and MMP-2 in human pancreatic cancer,and to probe the mechanism by which STAT3 signal pathway regulates the expression of MMP-2 in pancreatic cancer cells.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of STAT3,phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)and MMP-2 in pancreatic cancer tissues of 34 cases and normal pancreatic tissues of 10 cases.Correlation between the expression of STAT3、p-STAT3 and MMP- 2 were statistically analyzed.Human pancreatic cancer cell lines SW1990 was cultured.AG490,an inhibitor of the upstream Janus kinase(JAK)of STAT3 was added into the culture medium.Electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA)was used to detect STAT3 DNA-binding activity in SW1990 cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of STAT3,p-STAT3 in SW1990 cells.In addition,the protein and mRNA expression of MMP-2 in SW1990 cells were determined by Western blot and RT-PCR,respectively. Results Immunohistochemistry revealed that the expression rate of STAT3,p-STAT3 were both higher in pancreatic cancer tissues than in normal pancreas tissues(P

Cinobufacino injection is a significant anti-tumor medicine for the treatment of various tumors in clinic, which was made from water extraction of the skin of Bufo bufo gargarizans. In present paper, HPLC-DAD-FT-ICR-MS method was used to identify the major bufadienolides in cinobufacino for the first time. Solid-phase extraction with dichloromethane and silica was used to enrich the total bufadienolides in cinobufacino. Based on the UV and high resolution MS/MS data, 33 bufadienolides were analyzed and characterized. Among them, eight compounds were identified by comparing with standard references unambiguously. This study elucidated the major bufadienolides in cinobufacino, which provided material foundation of cinobufacino and will be benefit for the further pharmacological research.

Objective To observe the change of profilin-1 during the aging of rats' aorta and the anti-aging effect of grape procyanidins (GPC).Methods Young male Wistar rats (9 weeks) and middle rats (12 months) were randomly divided into GPC treatment and control groups respectively.We quantified arterial aging changes through morphological methods.Thoracic aortas were stained with hematoxylin eosin.Serum levels of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT),malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide (NO) were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Western blotting was performed to measure the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and profilin-1.Results Compared with the young male Wistar rats group,aging change in the aortic morphology of middle rat group were shown by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining:media thickness (MT) increased [(98.3±0.5)μm vs.(83.1±1.0)μm,P＜0.05],luminal internal diameter (LD) decreased [(15.5 ±0.2) μm vs.(18.2±0.5,P＜0.05)μm,P＜ 0.05],(MT/LD)％ increased [(6.4±0.1) ％ vs.(4.6±0.1)％,P＜0.05],the protein expressions of profilin-1 and iNOS both increased [profilin-1:(1.58 ± 0.09) vs.(1.29 ± 0.04),iNOS:(1.02±0.12) vs.(0.75±0.02),both P＜0.05],levels of NO and SOD in serum decreased [NO:(6.3±0.2)μmol/L vs.(8.4±0.2) μmol/L,SOD:(172.3±1.6) U/ml vs.(189.1±1.5) U/ml,both P＜0.05],the levels of MDA and 3-NT increased[MDA:(11.3±0.3) μmol/L vs.(9.4 ±0.1) μmol/L,3 NT:(40.2±0.3) nmol/L vs.(35.6±0.5) nmol/L,both P＜0.05)].After treatment with GPC,compared with the control group,MT decreased,LD increased and MT/LD (％)decreased in the middle GPC treatment group.The protein expressions of profilin-1 had no changes before and after treatment with GPC both in young and middle groups.After the GPC treatment in middle group,compared with the middle control group,iNOS expression decreased,serum levels of NO and SOD increased,and the levels of MDA and 3-NT decreased significantly (all P ＜0.05).Conclusions Profilin-1 is related with age-related changes in rat aorta.Profilin-1 participates in vascular aging through iNOS induced oxidative stress.GPC may defer vascular aging by inhibiting vascular oxidative stress.
