International Journal of Surgery 2012;39(11):777-780
Immune system is the autologous defence system to resist disease.αβ TCR+ CD3+ CD4-CD8-NK1.1-double negative T cell is a special T lymphocyte which has been described in both humans and rodent models.In recent years,the prognosis has been made in the mechanisms by which DN Treg target antigen-specific T cells and tumor cells.DN Treg cells play an important role in immune regulation,immunosuppression,autoimmune and resistance to the host reaction,HIV infection and antitumor.The study mainly introduces the advance of DN Treg cells in immune treatment.

International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(8):522-528
Objective To study the effect of enteral nutrition(EN) and total parenteral nutrition(TPN)on patients with severe acute pancreatitis by a Meta analysis.Method s Randomized controlled trials of EN in patients with severe acute pancreatitis were searched in Cochrane library,Pubmed database,CNKI database,CBM database.Data were searched by two statisticians.RevMan 5.0 was applied for statistical analysis.Results Nine randomized controlled trials were enrolled into this analysis.Meta-analysis indicated that the use of enteral nutrition decreased the incidence of infectious complications(RR was 0.37,95% CI[0.18,0.77]),pancreas infectious complications (RR was 0.44,95% CI [0.24,0.81],P < 0.01),MODS (RR was 0.33,95% CI[0.19,0.56]),mortaily (RR was 0.45,95% CI [0.26,0.80]),surgical interventions (RR was 0.51,95% CI [0.36,0.71]).When starting within 48 h of admission,EN,in comparison with TPN,resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the risk of MODS,mortaily and infectious complications.Conclusion For patients with severe acute pancreatitis,early EN therapy is better than TPN.

ObjectiveTo find out the inhibitory effects of CD4 - CD8 - DNT cells on growth of which depresses the pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo.Methods The inhibitory effects of DNT cells on the growth of Panc- 1 were studied in vitro by MTT method.Eighteen BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups randomly.Human pancreatic cancer xenografts were established in 2 groups randomly.The last group was injected the cell suspension which comprises DNT and Panc- 1 cells ( Panc- 1∶ DNT =1∶ 5 ).When the diameter of tumor was about 5 mm,the first 2 group mice were further divided into 2 groups randomly.One was control,treated with distilled water.The other was treated with celebrex (4 mg/d).The size of the tumors was calculated every 2 weeks and tumor growth curve was depicted.At the end of the treatments,the mice were sacrific and the tumors were harvested.The tumor inhibition rate was calculated.Results( 1 ) MTT study showed that DNT cells produced a dose- dependent inhibition of Panc- 1 proliferation in vitro.(2) The growth of transplanted pancreatic cancer was down-regulated by treatment of DNT cells.ConclusionDNT cells can inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical features and surgical outcomes in solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas.MethodsA retrospective clinical analysis was made on 18 cases of solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas confirmed by pathological diagnosis from Jan.2000 to Feb.2011.ResultsThe median age of these cases was 27.8 years,ranging from 15 to 46 years.Fifteen cases were female and 3 cases were male.The size of the tumor ranged from 4.0 cm to 15.0 cm,with an average size of 7.1 cm.Eleven of 18 tumors(61.1% ) had a well-defined capsule,and 5 tumors (27.8% ) extended beyond the pancreas.Nine of the 18 tumors (50.0%) had a cystic component,and calcification was observed in 3 tumors ( 16.7% ).The frequency of microscopic venous invasion,lymphatic invasion,and nerve invasion was 16% (3 of 18),0 and 0 respectively.No lymph node involvement or liver metastasis was observed.Distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy was done in 5 patients,spleen- preserving distal pancreatectomy in 3,medial pancreatectomy in 1,subtotal stomach- preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in 1,enucleation in 9.Fifteen patients were still alive without recurrent disease or metastasis after a median follow-up of 48 months.Conclusions These results demonstrated that solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas occurs mainly in young women,patients with solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas had a favorable outcome after surgical treatment,including enucleation.

Objective To determine the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and its clinical significance.Methods SP immunohistochemical staining method was used to detect the expression of BDNF in 46 cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,38 cases of benign pancreatic diseases and 20 cases of normal pancreatic tissue.Real time PCR and Western blot was used to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels.The relationship between BDNF expression and clinicopathological parameters of pancreatic cancer was determined.Results The positive expression rate of BDNF was 52.2% (24/46) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,7.8% (3/38) in benign pancreatic diseases,and none of the normal pancreatic tissue was BDNF positive.The BDNF protein expression levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,benign pancreatic diseases and normal pancreatic tissue were 0.38± 0.01,0.56± 0.01,0.97± 0.01,respectively,and the BDNF mRNA expression levels were 0.85 ± 0.14,1.67 ± 0.21,3.45 ± 0.67,respectively,and the expression levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and benign pancreatic diseases were significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic tissue,while the expression level in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than that in benign pancreatic diseases (P <0.05).Positive BDNF expression was correlated with nerve infiltration and lymph node metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,but it was not related to age,sex,tumor size,location and differentiated degree (P > 0.05).Conclusions BDNF is involved in the development and growth of pancreatic cancer,and it may be related with patient's prognosis.

Pancreatic cancer is a commonly malignant gastrointestinal tumor with an significantly increasing incidence.Those patients without nonspecific symptoms at early stage had mostly lost the opportunity of surgical therapy when pancreatic cancer was detected at advanced stage,and its prognosis is poor.Therefore,it is rather important to improve the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.In recent years,proteomics is developing rapidly.Proteomics technologies have been widely used in clinical research.Using proteomics technology screening pancreatic cancer tumor markers becomes the research focus,thus we try to find a kind of or a group of pancreatic tumor markers,so as to improve the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of patients with serous cystadenomas of the pancreas (SCAP).Methods The clinical and pathological features of 21 cases of SCAP were retrospectively analyzed.Results The mean age of the 21 cases was 61 years old,male:female ratio was 1∶ 1.33,18 (85.7%) patients presented with abdominal pain,bloating,abdominal mass,weight loss,and 3 (14.3%) patients were found during check-up.The tumors were located in pancreatic head in 9 patients,in pancreatic body and tail in 12 patients.The clinical manifestations were pancreatic cystic lesions.All patients underwent surgery.Histologically,the cyst wall was complete and lined with flat or cuboidal epithelium,cytoplasm was translucent,nucleus were round or oval with similar size,no significant nuclear atypia and mitotic activity was found.The pathologic diagnosis was micro-cyst type in 15 cases,single-cyst type in 6 cases.Immunohistochemistry method showed EMA,CK7,CK19 positive and PAS staining positive.The positive expression rate of Ki 67 was between 1% and 3%.After follow-up of 19 cases ranging from 3 months to 7 years,no recurrence and metastasis was detected.Conclusions SCAP is seen predominantly in elderly female patients with significant symptoms.A majority of tumors are located in the pancreatic body and tail.SCAP presents with characteristics of pancreatic ductal epithelial,and the prognosis is excellent.

The high-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (HAGS) and the low-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (LAGS) with steroid specificity were demostrated in cerebral cytosol of rats by using the radioligand binding assay. The Kd of HAGS and LAGS were (178?0.71)?l0-8mol/L and (2.12?1.06)?10-6mol/L respecitively as estimated by Scatchard and Pseudoscatchard analysis. Glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in the traumatized(left) hemisphere cytosol were decreased more significantly than those in both the control (right) hemisphere cytosol at 6h postinjury and normal brain tissue (P
