1.Current focus issues in diagnosis and treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
International Journal of Surgery 2021;48(1):1-4
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant liver tumor with strong invasion and poor prognosis. ICC originates from the bile duct and locates in the liver, so it is classified as either primary liver cancer or cholangiocarcinoma, which the classification is indeterminate and the pathological typing is still debatable. The mechanism of ICC induced by many high-risk factors is still unclear. There are no characteristic manifestations in early symptom and no specific tumor markers, and the diagnosis of ICC mainly depends on imaging examination, which enhanced CT and MRI are the most important evaluation method. TNM staging of ICC is of great significance to guide the treatment, nevertheless, the division of T stage updated by AJCC 8th Edition is still controversial. Radical surgery is the only way to cure ICC currently, but there are still many controversies on definition of R0 resection and the scope of lymph node dissection. The application of local therapy and the rapid development of immunity and targeted therapy bring new hope for the transformation therapy of locally advanced patients, however, the efficacy needs to be verified by multi center large sample clinical studies. To grasp the current focus issues in diagnosis and treatment of ICC timely will be an important direction of basic and clinical research of ICC in the future.

Objective To observe the possible mechanism and inhibitory effects of curcumin on pulmonary fibrosis induced bleomycin in rats at the fibrosing stage. Methods 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were random divided into 4 groups (20 rats in each group). Rats in the fibrosis model group, the prednisone group and the curcumin group were induced by instilled bleomycin through tracheal, rats in the control group with same volume normal saline. Since the 15th day after bleomycin administration, the curcumin group and prednisone group were given curcumin (300 mg/kg) or prednisone (5mg/kg) per day by intragastric administration, respectively. The normal control group and the model group were given 1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ( 10ml/kg). Six rats of each group were random sacrificed on the 21st, 28th, 42nd and 56th days after bleomycin administration. The histological changes of the pulmonary were evaluated by H. E and Masson dyeing. The expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and hydroxyproline in the tissue of pulmonary were assessed by immunohistochemistry and digestion method. Results Pulmonary fibrosis and hydroxyproline level in the curcumin group were obviously reduced as compared with the model group on the 42nd and 56th day[42 d:1. 28 ±0. 61 vs 2. 28 ±0. 39,P <0. 01 ;(1.73 ±0. 22)mg/g vs (2.50 ±0. 37) mg/g, P <0.01;56 d:1.00 ±0.59 vs 1.73 ±0.36, P< 0. 05; ( 1.57 ± 0. 36) mg/g vs (2. 20 ± 0. 42) mg/g, P < 0. 01 ], and it was also lower than that in prednisone group on the 42nd day( P < 0. 05 ). The expression of TGF-β1 and PDGF in the curcumin group were obviously lower than that in the model group on the 28th, 42nd and 56th day[28 d:TGF-β1 :3642. 05 ±839. 31 vs 5067. 35 ±738. 39, P <0. 05 ;PDGF:2957. 55 ±739. 16 vs 4457. 75 ±568. 39, P <0. 05;42 d: TGF-β1: 2689. 73 ± 529.22 vs 4089. 50 ± 619. 37, P < 0. 01; PDGF: 2834. 46 ± 567. 16 vs 3239. 52 ±628. 26, P <0. 01 ;56 d:TGF-β1: 1968.57 ±408. 36 vs 2968.20 ±498.42, P <0. 01 ;PDGF: 1083.36 ±381.35 vs 2019. 40 ±412. 36, P <0. 01 ], which was lower than that in prednisone group on the 42nd and 56th day (42 d,TGF-β1 :3529. 07 ±981.35,PDGF:2618. 34 ±813. 34;56 d,TGF-β1 :2530. 83 ±439. 37,PDGF: 1738. 35 ±536. 62, Pall <0. 05 ) , and it had no obvious difference compared with control group on the 56th day ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion Curcumin could alleviate bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats at the fibrosing stage by inhibiting the expressions of TGF-β1 and PDGF.

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of increase in radio sensitivity of kidney cancer cells(GRC-1) induced by ?-elemenen in vitro. Methods GRC-1 cells were divided into 3 groups, blank group (added with 2 mL culture medium), emulsion group (added with 2 mL blank emulsion culture medium) and drug group (added with 2 mL 50 mg?L -1 ?-elemenen culture medium). After been cultivated for 24 hours, the cells were irradiated using 6MeV X-linear accelerator in different doses at the rate of 400cGy per minute. Number of cell clones was counted, and radiation-survival curve of GRC-1 cells was drawn. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to measure cell cycle and apoptosis. Cells of climbing flake were dyed by immunocytochemical method, the gene expression of bcl-2 and PCNA was measured by imaging system. Results The cell cycle showed that the G 2M blocking caused by 50 mg?L -1 ?-elemenen was enhanced with time increase. It reached peak at 24 hours. FCM showed that the level of apoptosis increased with increase in drug dose and action time. The gene expression of bcl-2 was decreased by 20% in drug group than that in blank group, but there was no expression of PCNA in the two groups. Conclusion The radiosensitivity of GRC-1 cells can be enhanced by ?-elemenen. The mechanism of effect may be associated with the cell cycle blocking, inducing cell apoptosis and down-regulating expression of bcl-2 gene.
