Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin(NGAL),also known as lipocalin 2,has close relationship with human neoplasias,which is up-regulated in a number of malignancy and involves in the process of tumor development.But it appears to exist paradoxical effects attributed to NGAL in human neoplasias.For instance,through protecting MMP9 from autodegradation,NGAL has a clear pro-tumoral and pro-metastatic effect,as has already been observed in breast cancer and esophageal cancer.However,on the contrary,for pancreatic cancer and ovarian cancer,NGAL can inhibit FAK phosphorylation and vascular epidermal growth factor synthesis,having an anti-tumoral and anti-metastatic effect.This review summarizes the current knowledge about the dual effects of NGAL in the process of tumor development,and attempts to explore the possible underlyins mechanism.

Objective To analyze the postoperative complications in aged patients receiving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods Pancreaticoduodenectomy was employed for the treatment of 52 aged patients. Of the 52 patients with a mean age of 70.5(65-76), 32 were male and 20 female. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed that 24 patients suffered from Vater,s ampullary and duodenal cancers, 16 from pancreatic carcinoma and 12 from cholangiocarcinoma. Results The mortality was 7.7%. Severe complications included bleeding (upper gastrointestinal tract or abdominal cavity),MOF, ARDS, postsurgical gastroparasis syndrome(PGS), mental disorder, pancreaticogastrostomy leak and biliary-enteric anastomotic leak et al. Conclusion MOF is the main lethal complication. Incidence of PGS and mental disorder is high.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of survivin in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods All reports published in the past 13 years on survivin and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were reviewed.A Meta-analysis was conducted on these studies and it was used to determine the prognostic significance of the expression of survivin on patients with HCC.Results 18 studies were included into this Meta-analysis.There were 1 021 HCC patients and 208 normal controls.There was a significant difference between the positive rate of survivin in hepatocellular carcinoma and in normal tissues (0R =30.61; 95％ CI:16.67-56.23).The expression of survivin correlated with clinical staging,pathological differentiation,tumor metastasis,portal vein tumor thmmbus,and survival (P ＜ 0.05).There was no correlation with gender,age,AFP,HBsAg,tumor diameter,and tumor capsule (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusiom Survivin can be used as a molecular marker for the definitive prognosis of HCC.It is also a reliable marker in the choice of standardized and individualized therapy.

Objective To compare the adverse reactions and efficacy of dose-dense biweekly EC-T regimen with three-weekly TEC regimen in adjuvant chemotherapy for high risk breast cancer patients. Methods Fifty-one patients with high-risk breast cancer were divided into two groups according to random number table method. 27 cases in EC-T group: epirubicin 90 mg/m2, d1, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, d1, every 2 weeks for 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, d1, every 2 weeks for 4 cycles; 24 cases in TEC group: docetaxel 75 mg/m2, d1, epirubicin 75 mg/m2, d1, and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2, d1, every 3 weeks. All the patients in both groups received prophylactic granulocyte-colony stimulating factor 5 μg/(kg·d) from d3 of chemotherapy according to treatment protocol. The adverse reactions, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups using χ2 test. Results After a median follow-up of 31 months, the median DFS in the two groups were 28 months and 26 months, the 2-year DFS rates were 85.2 % and 79.2 %, and the 2-year OS rates were 100.0 % and 95.8 %. The EC-T group had higher median DFS, 2-year DFS and 2-year OS than the TEC group, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P> 0.05). The EC-T group had lower incidence of grade 3-4 leukopenia and neutropenia, grade 2-3 diarrhea than the TEC group, and no febrile neutropenia was observed in the EC-T group, the differences were statistically significant (all P< 0.05).However, the incidence of neurotoxicity, myodynia and arthrodynia were significantly higher in the EC-T group than those in the TEC group, the differences were statistically significant (both P< 0.05). Other adverse reactions, including anemia, nausea and vomiting, alopecia, liver dysfunction, and cardiac toxicity were similar between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion EC-T dose-dense biweekly regimen is well tolerated in adjuvant chemotherapy for high risk breast cancer patients with a trend to improve the DFS and OS when compared with the TEC regimen.

Objective To explore the differences of serum expression of cystatin C,macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods 120 cases of senile cor-onary heart disease patients in the department of cardiovascular medicine from July 2010 to August 2012 were selected and divided into the control group (n=30),stable angina pectoris group(SAP group,n= 34),unstable angina group (UA group,n=28)and a-cute myocardial infarction group (AMI group,n=28)according to the results of coronary arteriography combined with the electro-cardiogram and myocardial enzyme spectrum test.The serum levels of cystatin C,MIF,MMP-1 and C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were compared among the four groups,and correlations of the four indicators were analysed as well.Results There were significant differences in the serum levels of cystatin C,MIF,MMP-1 and hs-CRP among the four groups(P <0.05).The serum levels of cys-tatin C,MIF and MMP-1 were gradually increased with the progression of disease,and significant differences were found between any two groups(P <0.05).There were significant differences in the levels of hs-CRP between the AIM group and the other three groups(P <0.05).While among the control group,SPA group and UA group,no significant differences were found in the levels of hs-CRP between any two groups(P >0.05).The significant positive correlations were observed among cystatin C,MIF and MMP-1.Conclusion The serum levels of cystatin C,MIF and MMP-1 have a gradually increasing trend with disease progression in pa-tients with coronary heart disease,which could be important indicators of disease evaluation.
