1.Prevention of recurrence and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation: a systematic review
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(5):335-339
At present, about one third organ transplantation recipients were hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients even in the most advanced transplant center in the world. HCC especially the early primary HCC has been listed as one of the indications of liver transplantation(LT) in the most organ transplant center in the world. However, due to the tumor recurrence and metastasis following LT, many patients would be dead following transplantation in about 2 years later. Their five-year survival rate was only 50 percent in benign final phase liver disease patients. The current researches for this phenomenon were still shallow both in mechanisms and treatments. How to prevent tumor recurrence has become serious challenges and must be faced in liver transplantation surgery. Obviously, to discover the molecular mechanisms and predisposing factors of following LT recurrence, to explore appropriate standards for LT in HCC patients and to strengthen perioperative management are the only way for increasing LT efficacy.

To investigate the role of progesterone receptor (PR) expression in malignant melanoma (MM), PR and proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression were immunohistochemistrically evaluated in a series of 35 specimens of MM, and the correlation between the immunohistochemistrical findings and clinicopathological data was also analyzed. PR expression was detected in 25.7% (9/35) of the patients with MM. No PR expression was observed in nevi. PR expression was inversely correlated with PCNA expression (r=-0.353, P=0.026). PR expression was slightly increased in females, subjects aged under 55 y, those with ulceration, non-acral subtype and diagnosis delay longer than 1 y, but the difference was not statistically significant. Selective expression of progesterone receptor in malignant melanoma might be correlated with inhibited tumor growth.

At present, the research regarding repair of spinal cord mainly focuses on tissue engineering. Neural tissue engineering materials provide three-dimensional template for tissue regeneration and also environment for synthesis of extracellular matrix. This paper summarizes the types of nerve transplant materials and the research progress in application for treatment of spinal cord injury, so as to provide theoretical evidence for repair of spinal cord injury. But some problems exist in application of nerve cell scaffold materials for repair of spinal cord injury: poor mechanical properties lead to slow degradation speed, causing difficulties in tissue reconstruction with respect to velocity and in subsequent reconstruction of porous three-dimensional scaffold. In recent years, novel biomaterials with specific repair function have been made by the engineering method through combining the biological molecule with specific signal identification function and available materials, which is an advanced projeot in the current field of biomaterials.
