Objective To investigate the effects of zoledronic acid on the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in osteosarcoma LM8 cell line under hypoxic condition. Methods The hypoxic culture model was established. After LM8 cells were treated with zoledronic acid, semi-quantitative PCR was used to assess the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF mRNA. The expression of HIF-lct and VEGF protein was de-tected by immunohistochemical staining and ELISA respectively. Results Compared with cells in normoxic conditions, cells in the hypoxic environment and cells treated with zoledronic acid in the hypoxic condition did not show a significant change in the mRNA level of HIF-1α(P >0. 05). However, the protein expression of HIF-1α was markedly decreased in the cells treated with zoledronic acid in the hypoxic envi-ronment. In contrast, both mRNA and protein expression levels of VEGF were down-regulated in the zoledronic acid treatment hypoxic group (P <0.05). Conclusion Under hypoxic conditions in vitro, zoledronic acid inhibited the expression of HIF-1α protein, which decreased VEGF mRNA level and protein expression in osteosarcorna LM8 cell line.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of hypertonie saline enhanced radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of liver cancer. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with primary liver cancer (n = 28) or metastatic liver eancer (n = 14) who had been admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2001 to December 2007 were collected. Forty-eight lesions were detected with a diameter ranging from 1.2 cm to 7.5 cm. RFA electrode and 20G needle were pricked into the target lesion under the guidance of B ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) through percutaneoas puncture or open approaches. An amount of 5-10 ml hypertonie saline was infused through the needle at regular intervals during RFA. All patients were followed up for 3-79 months. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and CT scanning were performed postoperatively to determine the efficacy of RFA. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) before and after treatment were compared using t test, and the survival of the patients were analyzed using a Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results The AFP expression changed to negative in 14 out of the 18 AFP-positive patients, with statistical difference (t =7.703, P <0.05). The complete necrosis rate of tumors was 94% (45/48), and the necrosis rate of tumors with diameter of ≤4.0 cm reached 100% (35/35). The incidence of complication was 5% (2/42). No perioperative mortality occurred. The 1-, 2-, 3-year survival rates were 91%, 85% and 70%, respectively. Conclusions Hypertonic saline enhanced RFA in the treatment of liver cancer was proved to be safe and effective.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that the large-dose regular insulin therapy used to control blood glucose levels can cause 50%of patients suffering from vascular, optic nerve and kidney complications. Previous results from authors exhibit that when al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation is applied for treatment of leukemia, diabetic symptoms in patients disappear. Dose it prompt that al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation is an effective therapy for treatment of diabetes mel itus? OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility of hematopoietic stem celltransplantation for treatment of diabetes mel itus. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was done regarding the data of patients with hematological diseases complicated with diabetes mel itus who underwent al ogenetic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation. Four patients with acute lymphocyte leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, aplastic anemia, and myolodysplastic syndromes, respectively, were complicated with diabetes mel itus. Conditioning regimen was cyclophosphamide+total body irradiation protocol. Cyclosporin A and short-term methotrexate were used for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Blood glucose was control ed by oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections before transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the four patients were successful y engrafted. Fasting glucose level of the four patients recovered at 4-6 months after hematopoietic stem celltransplantation (without hypoglycemic drugs). One patient died of leukemia relapse after 12 months of hematopoietic stem celltransplantation. The other three patients had disease-free survival until the time of fol ow-up.

Objective To analyze clinical features and prognosis of primary intestinal T cell lymphoma (ITCL)which was misdiagnosed as Crohn′s disease (CD),and summarized the key points of differentiation between ITCL and CD.Methods From January 2003 to January 2014,clinical data of patients with ITCL once misdiagnosed as CD were retrospectively analyzed,which included demographic,clinical,pathological and prognostic data.The data of 177 patients diagnosed as CD from January 2012 to January 2014 were collected. The demographic,clinical,pathological and prognostic data of these two groups were analyzed and compared. The continuous variables were compared with t test or Mann-WhitneyU test,and the differences of classification variables between two groups were analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method.Results A
total of 18 patients (17 males and one female)with ITCL misdiagnosed as CD were enrolled in the study,and the median age at diagnosis was 38.5 (28.8 to 42.5)years and the median duration of diagnosis was 6.00 (3.75 to 13.25)months.The common primary symptoms were abdominal pain (12/18),diarrhea (13/18)and anemia (13/18).Intestinal perforation was primary symptom in two cases (2/18).However,B symptoms of lymphoma was observed in 16 patients,which included fever in 13 patients,weight loss in 16 patients and night sweat in one patient.One or more serious complications appeared in 12 patients,which included intestinal perforation in nine patients,severe gastrointestinal bleeding in seven patients and intestinal obstruction in two patients.In 177 patients with CD,104 patients were male (58.8%),and the median age at diagnosis was 22.0 (18.0 to 29.0) years.The primary symptoms were abdominal pain (88.7%,157/177),diarrhea (55.9%,99/177),anemia (63.8%,113/177),fever (33.3%,59/177)and weight loss (59.9%,106/177).During the disease course,30 patients (16.9%)had intestinal perforation (mainly chronic),12 patients (6.8%)had intestinal obstruction and seven patients (4.0%)had severe gastrointestinal bleeding.Compared to CD patients,male patients were more common in ITCL (χ2 =8.837,P <0.01),age at diagnosis was older (χ2 =314.5,P <0.01),the disease course was shorter (U=385.0,P <0.01),weight loss (χ2 =5.867,P <0.05)and fever (χ2 =10.609,P <0.01)were more common in clinical symptoms and intestinal perforation and severe gastrointestinal bleeding were more common in complications (χ2 =9.185,24.908,both P <0.01).The lesions of ITCL were multiple lesions, small bowel involved in eight cases,colon involved in 14 cases and one case with esophagus involved.Under endoscopy examination,most lesions appeared as ulcerations and were segmentally distributed.Compared to CD, lymphocyte proliferation was more common in the intestinal histopathological findings of ITCL (17/18 vs 19.7%(35/177);χ2 =42.844,P <0.01)and granuloma was rare (0 vs 42.8%(76/177),χ2 =12.665,P <0.01). Among 18 patients with ITCL,nine received chemotherapy and the median survival time was two months. Conclusions Primary ITCL had non-specific symptoms and was easily misdiagnosed as CD.More attention should be paid to the differential diagnosis of the two disease.
