Objective To study the influence of cholangiocarcinoma cells on endothelial cells in a co-culture system. Methods A co-culture system of eholangioeareinoma cell line QBC939> and endothelial cells was established in vitro (co-culture group). Endothelial cells were cultured individually during the same time (control group). The mixed supematant of cholangiecareinoma cells and endothelial cells was in the mixed group. Light microscopy and transmission electron micrescopy were used to observe the morphology of the endothelial cells. Changes in expression of ppI25FAK, MMP-2, MMP-9 and uPA of the endothelial cells were detected by mmunofluorescence, and the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by gelatin zymography. All the data were analyzed by paired t test. Results The intercellular space between endothelial cells in co-cuhure group was wider than in the control group. The expression of pp125FAK, MMP-2, MMP-9 and uPA was 394 ±51,455±82, 377±48,422±55 in control group, and was 1096±128,931±72,815±76,801±56 in the eo-euhure group. The difference between the 2 groups had statistical significance (t = 6.53,4.32, 3.61,3.45, P < 0. 05). The values of gray-scale scanning of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the mixed group were 240.2±15.2 and 2.4±0.8, respectively. The values of gray-scale scanning of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the co-culture group were significantly increased, they were 687.4 ± 43.6 and 150.9 ± 13.2, respectively (t = 4.89, 5.43, P < 0.05). Conclusions The intercellular space between endothelial ceils and the expression of the proteolytie enzymes are increased after co-culturing endothelial cells with eholangiocarcinoma cells. Proteolytie enzymes may be involved in the process of degradation of subendothelial matrix, and promotes the metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the diagnosis and follow-up of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) patients after percutaneous radiofrequence ablation ( RFA). Methods The data of 46 HCC cases were reviewed in our study. Results of contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) , ultrasound contrast agent sonography and grey ultrasound were compared with each other pre- and after percutaneous radiofrequence ablation. Results Contrast agent ultrasound imaging had the same value with CT in preoperative diagnosis of HCC, with postive likelihood ratio of 1.26 and 1.31, respectively,sensitivity of 97% and 91% and specificity of 23% and 31% respectively. For grey ultrasound the positive likelihood ratio was 0.99, sensitivity and specificity was 76% and 23% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound after percutaneous radiofrequence ablation was 60% and 90% respectively, and the postive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio was 6. 18 and 0. 44 respectively. The difference was significant while compared with CT (P = 0. 012). All cases were followed-up from 1 to 9 months, and all were alive with recurrence found by contrast-enhanced ultrasound in 3 cases. Conclusions Contrast agent ultrasound imaging is sensitive and effective in the diagnosis of HCC and follow-up after percutaneous radiofrequence ablation.

Objective To investigate the effects of cold preservation and reperfusion injury on the regen-eration of donor liver and to study the mechanisms. Methods Male SD rats were divided in to sham group (6 rats), UW 1 h group (48 rats) and UW 12 h group (48 rats). Liver tissue specimens were collected at different time points after orthotopic liver transplantation or sham operation. The morphology of liver tissue was observed via light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Proliferation of hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) were assessed by a double immunostaining technique using antibodies against rat endothelial cell antigen-1 and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors, fins-like tyrosine kinase-1 (flt-1) and fetal liver kinase-1 (flk-1) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of flt-1 was detected by a RT-PCR method. Mean comparison in groups was conducted by one-way ANOVA or t test. Results BrdU labeling indexes of hepatocytes and SECs in UW 12 h group was significantly higher than those in UW 1 h group (F = 61.45,41.4, P < 0.05). The proliferation of hepatocytes peaked at 48 h after operation in both UW 1 h group and UW 12 h group. However, the proliferation of SECs was fallen behind compared to hepatocytes, with a peak appeared at 72 h in UW 1 h group and at 96 h in UW 12 h group, respec-tively. The expression of VEGF was up-regulated in both UW 1 h group and UW 12 h group compared to sham group. Furthermore, expression of flt-1 and flk-1 was found to be mainly limited in SECs, with a peak in expres-sion occurring between 72 h and 96 h, coinciding with the peak in SECs proliferation in UW 1 h group. Conversely, flt-1 was found to be reduced significantly on mRNA level at any time throughout the experiment in UW 12 h group compared to sham group (F = 141.67, P < 0.05). Conclusion Reduced expression of flt-1 results in a retarded regeneration of SECs, and then the recovery of rat donor liver function is delayed after cold-preserved transplantation.
