Nowadays more and more biologists and immunologists focus on Galectin-1 due to the in -depth study of Galectins.As one of the important member of Galectins,Galectin-1 distributes widely,exists in a variety of tissues and cells,involves in cell adhesion,proliferation,apoptosis and inflammatory reaction,and results in a variety of physiological and pathological process.Recent studies have found that Galectin-1 expression in a variety of malignant tumor with a close relationship with tumor occurrence,invasion,development,anti-tumor immunity,and metastasis.It may be a potentially new target for cancer and inflammation therapies.This present paper reviews the current research about Galectin-1 and tumor progression.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of primary adrenocortical carcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in clinical data of 16 patients with primary adrenocortical carcinoma. The diagnosis was based on clinical presentations,hormonal studies and imaging. Surgical treatment was underwent on 13 cases. All patients were followed up for 3 to 62 months. Results Of 16 cases,functional tumors were in 8,including Cushing′s syndrome in 5,combination of Cushing′s syndrome and virilization in 2,and hyperaldosteronism in 1. Imaging studies revealed the tumors were 4.8 to 19.5 cm in diameter,average in 7.8 cm. Distant metastasis occurred in 3 cases. Radical surgery was done in 13 cases without distant metastasis,including radical adrenalectomy in 8,adrenalectomy plus nephrectomy in 2,adrenalectomy plus surgical extirpation of intracaval tumor thrombus in 2,and partial resection of the wall of inferior vena cava in 1. Pathologic stages were stage Ⅰ in 2 cases,stage Ⅱ in 8,stage Ⅲ in 3,stage Ⅳ in 3. Among the 11 cases who were treated over 2 years after operation,6 cases were still survival,while 1 case had pulmonary and 1 case had bone metastasis. The other 5 cases survive in average of 26 months. Conclusions Prognosis of primary adrenocortical carcinoma is poor. The keys to early diagnosis are clinical manifestations plus imaging. Surgical treatment is the only effective therapy for the disease.

Objective To investigate the correlation between genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in Hubei Han population. Methods Genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1 of 270 patients with UC (UC group) who were admitted to the Zhongnan Hospital, People's Hospital of Wuhan University, Tongji Hospital and Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from August 2002 to December 2009 and 623 healthy people ( control group) were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction. All UC patients were allocated to distal UC group (n= 229) and extensive UC group (n =41 ) according to the location of the lesions; and all UC patients were also allocated to mild-moderate group (n = 237) and severe group (n = 33 ). The genetic polymorphisms of GSTP1 of these patients and healthy people were detected by polymerase chain reaction. The genotypes of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 were also detected. GSTM1 and GSTT1 containing small DNA segments ( 157 bp and 480 bp) were defined as GSTM1 (+) and GSTT1 (+), otherwise, GSTM(-) and GSTT1 (-), respectively. All data were analyzed by chisquare test. Results The frequencies of GSTM1(-), GSTT1(-) and GSTP1 (Val/Val) were 70.7% (191/270),64.8% (175/270) and 48.9% (132/270) in the UC group, and 41.7% (260/623), 47.2% ( 294/623 ) and 34.3% (214/623) in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups (x2 = 63. 404,22. 320, 25. 384, P ＜0.05 ). The frequencies of GSTT1 (-) and GSTP1 (Val/Val) were 71.6% (164/229) and 57.6% (132/229) in the distal UC group, which were significantly higher than 31.7% (13/41) and 29.3%( 12/41 ) in the extensive UC group ( x2 = 24.528, 9.609, P ＜ 0.05 ). The frequencies of GSTM1 (-) were 65.1%(149/229) in the distal UC group and 56.1% (23/41) in the extensive UC group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( x2 = 1. 210, P ＞ 0.05 ). The frequencies of GSTT1 (-) and GSTP1 ( Val/Val ) were 71.6%(164/229), 31.7% ( 13/41 ) in the distal UC group and 57.6% ( 132/229), 29.3% ( 12/41 ) in the extensive UC group, with a significant difference between the two groups ( x2 = 24. 528, 9. 609, P ＜ 0. 05 ). There was no significant difference in the frequencies of GSTM1 (-), GSTT1 (-), GSTP1 (Val/Val) in the mild-moderate group and the severe group( x2 = 0. 623, 1. 884, 3. 403, P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Variant genotypes of GSTs are significantly correlated with UC in Hubei Han population. The severity of UC may not be correlated with variant genotypes of GSTs.

Objective To explore the security and its influencing factors on benign airway stenosis treated with interventional of high pressure balloon expansion catheter.Methods Clinial data of 39 cases of inpatients suffered from benign airway stenosis were chosen.17 cases were male,and 22 cases were female.The ages of them ranged from 15 to 83 years old.According to the clinical symptoms,HRCT 3D reconstruction,and the results of bron-choscope,all patients were treated with balloon expansion catheter at different criterions.The balloon catheter with size that slightly smaller than the targeted normal bronchial tube was chosen,expansion for average 1 -4 times,single balloon expansion time ranged from 0.5 to 4 min,the pressures were kept at 3 -6 atmosphere,and the highest pres-sure did not exceed 8 atmospheric pressure.The efficacy and complications were retrospectively analyzed.Results 19 cases were completely effective,14 cases were basically effective,6 cases were completely ineffective,and the total effective rate was 84.6% (33 /39 ),the incidence of complications was 35.8% (14 /39 ),moreover,no deaths occurred.Conclusion High pressure balloon catheter expansion is one of commonly used technology in breathing interventional treatment;it has the characteristics of easy operation,and immediate curative effect,and so on.But if the improper operation,incorrect selection of the case,or inaccurate evaluation of the stenosis during operation,serious complications and unnecessary iatrogenic injury can be occurred.Therefore,it is worthy of attention and further summarizing by breathing interventional physicians.
