Primary liver adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare kind of liver malignant tumor with very poor prognosis. Clinical data of 5 cases were analyzed retrospectively, four male and one female, whose average age was 60.2 years (50-67 years) old. Adenosquamous carcinoma contains both adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma histologically, and squamous carcinoma cells are dominant (>80%). Four cases underwent surgical resection and one received liver transplantation. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 6 to 35 months and the mean survival time of these cases was about 15 months. Three patients died during the follow-up period. The survival rates 1 and 2 years after operation were 60% and 20%, respectively.

Objective·To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of adult rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS).Methods·The clinical and pathological data,immunohistochemical test results of 9 RMS were analyzed retrospectively.Results·The information of 6 males and 3 females were collected in this research,whose average age was (46.89+20.09) years old.The tumors had a wide range distribution.The subtypes of histology included 6 cases of embryonal RMS,1 case of alveolar RMS,1 case of spindle cell RMS and 1 case of pleomorphic RMS.Immunohistochemically study showed that 6 cases were myogenin positive,4 cases were MyoDl positive and 8 cases were desmin positive.During the follow-up period of the 7 cases,only 2 patients survived free of tumors,2 patients presented with tumor recurrence and metastasis after the operations,and 3 patients died of tumor.Conclusion·In this study,embryonaI RMS is the most common type,and immunohistochemistry test is helpful to diagnosis of RMS.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression of inhibin subunit Beta A (INHBA) and the clinicopathological data and its effect on proliferation, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells and its possible mechanisms.Methods:Using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) public database to verify the expression of INHBA mRNA in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues and its relationship with pathological stage and prognosis; the relationship between INHBA and clinical prognosis was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter online database. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm the correlation between protein expression level of INHBA in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues and clinical pathological staging. In vitro, the cell proliferation was detected by tetrazolium salt (MTT) method; the cell migration ability was detected by scratch test, and cell invasion and metastasis ability was detected by transwell chamber assay. The expression of INHBA and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins was detected by Western blot. Results:The GEPIA database and Kaplan-Meier Plotter online database analysis showed that INHBA mRNA was highly expressed in various cancer tissues and significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than normal tissues ( P<0.05). The high expression of INHBA mRNA was associated with clinical stage and poor prognosis of gastric cancer ( P<0.05). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the staining score of INHBA in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues ( P<0.05), and its expression level was correlated with clinical tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage ( P<0.05). The results of MTT, scratch test and transwell chamber showed that INHBA overexpression could promote the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells, while interference with INHBA expression could inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells; Western blot results showed that the expression of CDH1 was down regulated and the expression of CDH2 was up-regulated after INHBA overexpression. The expression of CDH1 was up-regulated and the expression of CDH2 was down-regulated after INHBA overexpression was inhibited. Conclusions:INHBA is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues. The expression level of INHBA is related to tumor progression and poor prognosis. INHBA can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer MGC-803 cell line and its mechanism may be related to INHBA promoting cell EMT.

Objective To study the mechanism of immune hyporesponsiveness of allograft rejection induced by transfusion nonpufsed allopeptide syngeneic immature dendritic cell(imDC) generated from recipient bone marrow progenitors and to explore a possible strategy for liver allograft protection in clinic.Methods Forty experimental rats were randomly divided into 4 group: control group,cyclosporine A(CsA) group,mature DC(mDC) group and imDC group.In control group,Wistar rats only received liver transplantation.In CsA group,Wistar rats underwent liver transplantation plus CsA treatment(10 mg/(kg?d)).In mDC group,recipient-derived mDC 1?106 were infused intravenously through the penile vein to Wistar rats.In imDC group,ImDC with the dose of 1?106 were injected into Wistar rats via the dorsum vein of penile.In each group,five recipients were killed on the 10th day after transplantation,the other five recipients were left to observe survival time.The levels of ALT,AST,TBIL,IL-2,IFN-?,IL-4 and IL-10 were detected.The acute rejection and the expression of FasL/Fas in the grafts were detected by HE and immunohistochemical staining.Western blot was used to detect Scurfin protein expression of CD4+ CD25+ T cells.Results The median survival time of the liver allografts in CsA group and imDC group were significantly longer than that in control group and mDC group(P

AIM　To investigate the relationship between sinomenine distribution and its organic toxicology in rats so as to give some pharmacological data for clinical application of sinomenine. METHODS　Three kinds of administration plans were designed in the experiment, ie sinomenine was ip administered at the dosage of l50 mg*kg-1 per day, repreat-dosed for 6 wk and suspended the drug for 1 wk after 6wk repeat-doses．At the end of the each administration plan，the animals were sacrificed and their blood and their main internal organs were collected for the purpose of measurement of sinomenine concentration in each sample by HPLC. Meanwhile，the histopathological and serological examinations were also done in the experiments. RESULTS　The sinomenine concentration in rats internal organs were in order of liver, heart, lung and brain either in single-dosed treated animals or in repeat-dosed treated animals for 6 wk. However，the concentration of sinomenine could not be detected by HPLC after l wk drug-suspension，the histopathological examination showed that sinomenine at the dosage of l50 mg*kg-l per day for 6wk treatment could slightly damage liver ce11s, dominant1y caused the cell edema，but no any influence on the sero1ogy of liver and kidney. Sinomenine ip could also cause a mild hyperaemia of the rats heart tissues but no any histopathological changes had been observed. In testis tissues no sinomenine had beed detected although the animals were treated by repeat treatment for 6 wk and no any histopathological changes had been found yet. However, Sinomenine could partialy inhibit the sperm vitalities and amount of the dead sperms were a1so augmented. It was similar to in vitro eperiments. These influences of sinomenine on testis could be quickly recovered by drug suspension. CONCLUSION　Sinomenine concentration were in order of liver, heart, kidney, lung and brain either in treatment by single dose or by repeat-dose administration. The histopathological changes were only abserved in liver cells of the animals which indicates that it should be in consideration of the liver functions during treatment course of the drug.

Objective To study the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)in Marchiafava-Bignami disease.Methods (1)12 cases of Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD)patients with 6 month follow-up and 12 hedthy adults were clone MRI DWI;(2)MR imaging characteristics of 12 patients were observed on the corpus callosum and the other gray-white matters;(3)The ADC values of the central part and marginal area of the corpus callosum and the other gray-white matters were measured,data analysis were carried out completely by random design.Results Hyperintensity on the corpus callosum were showed in 12 patients on DWI,typical“sandwich sign”was seen on the sagittal T2 WI in 1 1 cases,and gray-white matters beside the corpus callosum were involved other in 6 cases;The ADC values of central and marginal area of the corpus callosum and the other gray-white matters had significant differ-ence between the improved clinical symptom group and,unimproved clinical symptom group and the control group (P < 0.05 ). There were no significant differences in the ADC values for the other white matters.Conclusion DWI can be used to reflect the change of MBD.Low ADC values in the corpus callosum and cortex are associated with a poor prognosis.
