Objective To analyze the characteristics ot lymph node metastasis and prognostic factors for carcinoma of papilla of Vater (CPV) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods From January 2005 to December 2010,94 patients with CPV underwent PD and dissection of regional lymph nodes at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital.We carefully evaluated nodal involvement in the patients to determine the lymphatic spread of CPV and analyzed the clinicopathological variables in relation to prognosis.Results The overall rate of nodal involvement was 46.8％.Using the UICC staging (7th edition),lymphatic invasion in pT1,pT2,pT3 and pT4 were 15.4％ (2/13),62.7％ (32/51),80.0％ (8/10) and 100％ (2/2),respectively.The metastatic rates in the posterior pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes,the mesopancreatic lymph nodes,the hepatoduodenal ligamental lymph nodes and the proper hepatic periarterial lymph nodes were 30.9％ (29/94),21.3％ (20/94),11.7％(11/94) and 6.4％ (6/94),respectively.Significant prognostic factors were tumor pT stage (P＜0.01),duodenal wall infiltration (P =0.001),liver metastasis (P =0.001),pancreatic paren chymal invasion (P=0.004),nodal involvement (P＜0.01) and different regional lymph nodes invasion (the posterior pancreaticoduodenal,P＜0.01; the mesopancreatic,P＜0.01; the hepatoduodenal ligamental,P＜0.01; the proper hepatic periarterial,P=0.010).Cox regression analysis for overall survival revealed that the posterior pancreaticoduodenal nodal involvement (P＜0.01),the mesopancreatic nodal involvement (P＜0.01) and duodenal wall infiltration (P=0.019) were significant independent prognostic risk factors.Conclusions The mesopancreatic lymph nodes and the posterior pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes should equally be regarded as the first stop in lymphatic spread of CPV.Therefore,we should pay much attention to these regional lymph node dissections,especially to ensure complete resection of the uncinate process and the mesopancreas.

Nerve segments were excised from the posterior limb of the adult dog and treated by repeated freezing and thawing for five times. A segment about 5 mm long was removed from the right tibial nerve proximal to the popliteal fossa of each experimental adult rabbit, and 8 mm of nerve segment from the dog prepared as above was transplanted in the gap. Both the proximal and distal ends of the tibial nerve of host rabbits were sutured to the graft nerve of the donor dog. The grafts were excised together with the sutured cut ends of the recipient tibial nerve at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 18, and 31 weeks after transplantation. The regenerating nerve fibers were found by light microscope from the proximal end of the right tibial nerve to the graft, and from the graft to the distal part of the tibial nerve at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 18 and 31 weeks. Under electron microscope regenerating myelinated and unmyelinated fibers were found to be separate or in fascicle in the graft and the distal segment of the tibial nerve at the above survival time after transplantation. Perineurium was seen surrounding the regenerating nerve fascicles. Neurotubules, neurofilaments and mitochondria were found in the regenerating axons. The diameter of the regenerating myelinated fibers with long survival time after transplatation was thicker than that with short survival time. Repeated freezing and thawing reduced the antigenicity of the heterogenic nerve that it was not rejected after transplantation, and induced the regenerating nerve fibers of the host grow into the graft nerve and extend distally.

The effect of concanavalin A (Con A) on nerve regeneration in heterograft was done in the present study. A segment about 5mm long was removed from the right sciatic nerve of adult rats. A 8mm of the heterograft nerve segment from the tibial nerve of the rabbit and pretreated by Con A was transplanted into the gap of the severed rat nerve. Regenerating nerve fibers were found from the proximal part of the sciatic nerve into the graft, and also from the graft into the distal part of the sciatic nerve at the 4th,8th and 12th week after transplantation. Regenerating nerve fibers existed separately or clustered into fascicles in the graft,as well as in the distal part of sciatic nerve. Some unmyeli-nated nerve fibers were scattered among the regenerating myelinated fibers. The gastrocnemius muscle was AChE-positive at 8th and 12th week after transplantation. In silver-combined AChE staining section, the regenerating nerve fibers could be seen connecting with the motor endplates. There were regenerating free nerve endings and nerve fascicles in the dermis and epidermis at 8th and 12th week after transplantation. The present study showed that the pretreatment of Con A had benefit to that the regenerating nerve fibers to pass through the heterograft and reinnervated to the targetes.ADepartment of Anatomy,Jiangxi Medical College,Nanchang 330006,China

BACKGROUND:Cdh1 has been shown to express in rat hippocampus and cortex in a large number. Moreover, in vitro test demonstrated that Cdh1 expression was higher in neurons than in neural stem cel s, which possibly associated with the differentiation of neural stem cel s into neurons. However, the effects of anaphase promoting complex Cdh1 on ischemic neuronal damage remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of Cdh1 and its downstream substrate in primary cultured neurons with oxygen-glucose deprivation. METHODS:Primary neurons from cortex of postnatal 24-hour rat pups were cultured in vitro, and identified by immunofluorescence staining. The oxygen-and glucose-deprived models were established by three gas incubator fil ed with nitrogen in sugar-free Earle’s solution. After 1 hour of hypoxia, reoxygenation was conducted. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Cdh1 and its downstream substrates Skp2, Cyclin B1 before hypoxia, 6 hours, 1, 3, 7 days after oxygen glucose deprivation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After oxygen glucose deprivation, the expression of Cdh1 and Cyclin B1 in primary neurons was increased (P<0.05), while Skp2 expression was decreased (P<0.05). Above data indicated that Cdh1 expression in neurons increased after oxygen-glucose deprivation. It may degrade Skp2 and participate in hypoxic neuronal apoptosis by ubiquitination.
