Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(13):-
Objective To study the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the anti-apoptotic capability of human cervical carcinoma cell line(CaSki).Methods The imitated CO2 pneumoperitoneum was established in vitro.After CaSki cells were exposed to CO2 pneumoperitoneum at 0,7 or 14 mmHg for 1,2,3,4 h,the expressions of Survivin mRNA and Bcl-2 protein were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.The untreated CaSki cells served as control.Results Under 7 or 14 mmHg,the expressions of Survivn and Bcl-2 had an increasing tendency with the exposure time prolongation.Within the same exposure time,the expressions of Survivin and Bcl-2 under 7 mmHg were significantly higher than those under 0 or 14 mmHg or in control group.Conclusion Under certain pressure and within certain exposure time,CO2 pneumoperitoneum could improve anti-apoptotic capability of human cervical carcinoma cells,which may be one reason for the promoting effect of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on malignant cells growth.

Objective To explore the value of direct and indirect ultrasonographic signs in diagnosis of small breast cancer. Methods The sonographic features of 103 small breast lesions (47 malignant, 56 benign) were retrospectively analyzed and divided into direct and indirect signs according to the pathology.The results of ultrasonography were compared with pathology. Agreement was measured with K statistics between ultrasonographie signs and pathology. Results Compared with the malignant and benign small breast noplasms, there was statistical significance of the direact signs of micro calcifications, grade Ⅱ- Ⅲ flow,resistance index (RI)≥0.7 and the indireact signs of changes of superficial fascia (P<0.01).Agreement was moderate for micro calcifications, grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ flow, RI≥0.7, changes of superficial fascia (0.7> K≥0.4) ,and substantial for the combination of direct and indirect signs(K=0.726). Conclusions Combination of direct and indirect ultrasonographie signs was significant in diagnosis of small breast cancer.

Objective To study the protective effect of estrogen against neuronal injury and the possible roles of alteration in the expression of bcl- 2 following cerebral ischemia. Methods rats were ovariectomized.Brain ischemia was induced by left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 2 hours, and 22 hours of reperfusion,all animals were killed. The cerebral cortex sector histology was examined under light microscope (both qualitatively and quantitatively). The expression of bcl- 2 was analyzed with immunohistochemical method. Results In estrogen- treated groups, the density of normal neruons were significantly higher(P<0.05);Estrogen increased the expression of bcl-2(P<0.05).Conclusions The neuroprotective of estrogen was associated with up-regulation of bcl-2 in cerebral ischemia.

Objective:To investigate the impact of Bayesian penalized likelihood (BPL) PET reconstruction method on the uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of lungs, liver, aorta and bones. Methods:From March 2019 to June 2019, the 18F-FDG PET/CT images of 60 patients with clinical diagnosed tumors (29 males, 31 females, age: 24-89 (60.4±15.2) years) in Yuhuangding Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. PET images were reconstructed with ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM), time of flight (TOF)+ point spread function (PSF) and BPL (β=350) algorithms. Volumes of interest (VOIs) were delineated on the right upper lung lobe, the right liver, aortic root and lumbar vertebra. The mean standardized uptake value (SUV mean), maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max), peak of lean body standardized uptake value (SUL peak), standard deviation of standardized uptake value (SUV SD) and the SNR were measured. The percentage of SNR change (%ΔSNR) between the BPL method and non-BPL methods were calculated. The correlations between body mass index (BMI) and %ΔSNR were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference (LSD) t test were used to analyze the data. Results:There were no significant differences of SUV mean and SUL peak in lung, aorta, liver and lumbar vertebra among 3 methods ( F values: 0.04-1.95, all P>0.05). The SUV max in lung, aorta, liver and lumbar vertebra of BPL reconstruction (1.14±0.82, 2.13±0.37, 2.95±0.50 and 2.76±0.87) was significantly lower than those of TOF+ PSF (1.56±0.61, 2.99±0.75, 4.32±0.94 and 4.05±1.48) and OSEM (1.51±0.67, 3.00±0.70, 4.45±1.12 and 3.81±1.06) reconstructions ( F values: 20.59-52.24, all P<0.001) and SUV SD (0.13±0.07, 0.20±0.05, 0.26±0.06, 0.38±0.17) was also significantly lower than those of TOF+ PSF (0.24±0.11, 0.43±0.11, 0.58±0.15, 0.67±0.21) and OSEM (0.21±0.09, 0.42±0.10, 0.58±0.14, 0.63±0.20) reconstructions ( F values: 24.46-124.95, all P<0.001), while the SNR (4.67±1.34, 7.74±2.22, 8.17±1.77, 4.45±1.22) was significantly higher than those of TOF+ PSF (2.54±0.72, 3.55±0.82, 3.77±0.91, 2.49±0.69) and OSEM (2.65±0.64, 3.67±0.80, 3.75±0.87, 2.60±0.67) reconstructions ( F values: 83.04-247.73, all P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences between OSEM and TOF+ PSF reconstructed images in SUL peak, SUV mean, SUV SD and SNR (all P>0.05). In BPL group, SNR increased with the increase of BMI, and there were statistically differences of aortic SNR (7.07±2.21 vs 9.67±2.26) and liver SNR (7.75±1.85 vs 9.32±0.70) between BMI<25 kg/m 2 and BMI≥30 kg/m 2 ( F values: 3.46 and 4.19, both P<0.05). Positive correlations were found between %ΔSNR of lung, aorta, liver and lumbar vertebra in OSEM and TOF+ PSF and BMI ( r value: 0.042-0.354, all P<0.05). Conclusion:In background tissues, BPL algorithm has no significant impact on absolute quantification compared with OSEM and TOF + PSF reconstruction methods but it can significantly improve SNR, especially for the patients with large body weight.

Objective To prepare an attenuated Listeria vaccine Lmdd-LMP2A expressing the Ep-stein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 2A ( EBV-LMP2A) and evaluate its specific anti-tumor effects on nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods The gene fragment encoding EBV-LMP2A was amplified by PCR analysis and then subcloned into the shuttle vector p1565.PCR restriction enzyme digestion and DNA se-quencing were performed to identify the recombinant shuttle vector p1565-LMP2A.The p1565-LMP2A vector was then transformed into competent strains of the attenuated Listeria monocytogenes ( Lmdd) .The recombi-nant attenuated Listeria vaccine strain Lmdd-LMP2A was verified by Western blot assay.The histological sections of spleen and liver tissues were stained by Haematoxylin and eosin ( H&E) for analysis of inflamma-tion.A tumor-bearing HLA-A2 transgenic mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of CNE-1/HLA-A2/LMP2A nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line.The prepared Lmdd-LMP2A vaccine was inoculated into the mice via tail intravenous injection for the evaluation of specific CTL induction and the in vivo anti-tumor effects.Results The shuttle vector p1565-LMP2A and the recombinant attenuated Listeria vaccine strain Lmdd-LMP2A with stable expression of LMP2A protein were successfully constructed.The immunized mice showed mild inflammations with no structural damage and necrosis as indicated by H&E staining.The growth of tumors in tumor-bearing HLA-A2 transgenic mice was significantly inhibited by the immunization of Lmdd-LMP2A vaccine as compared with mice without inoculation.The survival time of mice was prolonged with the immunization of Lmdd-LMP2A vaccine.Conclusion The prepared attenuated Listeria vaccine Lm-dd-LMP2A showed specific anti-tumor effects with the safety advantage, suggesting the possibility of using it for anti-tumor therapy in clinic.
