Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(5):598-601
Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on pancreatic fibrosis in rats of chronic pancreatitis. Methods Thirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group, model group and transplanted group (n=10 for each group). Chronic pancratitis rat model was induced by retrograde injection of oleic acid into the biliopancreatic duct. The sham operation group was treated only with solvent. Transplanted group was given BMSCs through caudal vein injection at 1 week and 5 weeks after the model induction. All rats were weighed at 1 week, 4 weeks and 8 weeks in three groups. After 8-week feeding,pancreatic tissues were harvested for HE and picric-sirius staining. The contents of transforming growth factorβ1 (TGF-β1), typeⅠcollagen and typeⅢcollagen were detcted by using ELISA. Results Compared with the control group, the weights of rats were decreased at 4 weeks and 8 weeks in model group and transplantated group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in body weights between model group and transplantated group (P>0.05). The pancreatic fibrosis score and pathological injury were ameliorated signicantly in transplanted group. The contents of TGF-β1, typeⅠcollagen and typeⅢcollagen in pancreas were increased in model group than those of control group and transplanted group (P<0.05). Conclusion BMSCs transplantation can reduce the collagen secretion and reduce the degree of pancreatic fibrosis in rats with chronic pancreatitis, which may be related to the inhibition of the release of TGF-β1.

Objective To analyze MRI findings of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods The MR findings in 18 patients who were diagnosed as CSP by surgery from March 2010 to November 2011 were retrospectively analyzed,and comparison was made between the MRI findings and surgical results.Results All Gestational sacs (18) were clearly detected by MRI.Among the 18 cases,gestational sac presented as cystic mass with smooth margin located within the scar of uterine wall at the lower anterior uterus in 16 cases.In 2 of the 16 cases,gestational sac was found within the myometrium,whereas in the remaining 14 cases,gestational sac was found partially within the myometrium with extension into the uterine cavity.The anteior wall of isthmus uteri became thinner.In the remaining 2 of the 18 cases,gestational sac presented as irregular,multilobolated mass,growing deep inot the myometrium as well as into the uterinecavity. On T2WI,the mass showed heterogeneous signal intensity. A small amount of hemorrhage within the mass and uterine cavity could be seen on T1 WI. An enhancing solid component with a heterogeneous mass could be seen. All gestational sacs in 18 cases were located at or adjacent to the previous cesarean scar.In the area of cesarean scar,the signal of the uterine wall was disconnected,with focal indentation or thinning and the previous cesarean scar exhibited hypointensity on both T1WI and T2WI.Conclusion CSP has its unique findings on MRI,these specific features can provide useful information in the management of CSP.

Objective To investigate the detection of early cervical cancer patient's peripheral blood CK19 mRNA and its clinical significance. Methods 30 early (ⅠA2~ⅡA) cervical cancer patients from the department of gynecological tumors in the third affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected as experimental group, 15 patients with uterine myoma and 15 healthy volunteers as negative control group,15 advanced (ⅡB~ⅢB) cervical cancer patients as positive control group. Peripheral blood samples before receiving radical resection of experimental group,and the same samples before treatment of control groups were collected. The change of relative expression level and positive rate of peripheral blood CK19 was analyzed using qRT-PCR technique, and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis was further analyzed. Results There was significant difference in relative expression level of CK19 mRNA in the peripheral blood between experimental group and control groups ( <0.001) . And the positive rate of CK19 in the peripheral blood from 30 patients with early cervical cancer before operation in the experimental group was 30% (9/30) . Furthermore, CK19 mRNA positive rate before surgery was correlated with lymph node metastasis, muscularis invasion and pathologic risk factors for postoperative ( <0.05) . There were no significant correlation between CK19 mRNA positive rate and other clinical and pathological features such as age,clinical stage (FIGO),tumor cell differentiation,tumor size,pathological type and etc ( > 0.05) . Conclusions CK-19 mRNA is a specific and suitable molecular marker for the detection of circulating tumor cells in early cervical cancer. Detection of peripheral blood CK19 mRNA expression before receiving radical hysterectomy in patients with early cervical cancer can also make up for the disadvantage of other methods such as the imaging, tumor marker detection. Most important of all, it can provide the basis for choosing a proper adjuvant therapy post-operation and estimating the relapse and prognosis.
