Purpose To investigate the expression of Netrin-1 in ovarian serous carcinoma and its c1inicopatho1ogica1 significance. Methods Netrin-1 protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemica1 method in tissue specimens from 20 cases of benign ovari-an serous cystadenomas,13 cases of border1ine ovarian serous neop1asms and 32 cases of ovarian serous carcinomas( OSC). Results The positive proportion of Netrin-1 protein in OSC tissues was significant1y higher than those in border1ine and benign ovarian serous ne-op1asms(P<0. 01). The expression of Netrin-1 in OSC tissues was associated with tumor grade and c1inica1 stage(P<0. 05),but not associated with age,site,tumor size or 1ymph node metastasis( P>0. 05). Kap1an-Meier ana1ysis showed that the 5-year surviva1 rate of patients with Netrin-1 over-expression was significant1y 1ower than that of patients with 1ower expression( P<0. 05 ). Conclu-sions The high expression of Netrin-1 in OSC tissues indicates that Netrin-1 p1ays an important ro1e in cancer pathogenesis and deve1-opment and it may be a new assistant marker for prognosis of OSC.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and management of hepatolithiasis associated with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Data of 84 patients of hepatolithiasis associated with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in our hospital from 1990 to 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in patients of hepatolithiasis was 4. 6%(84/1840), among them only 47 patients got a definite diagnosis before operation. All cancer located in the bile duct containing cholelith. In 20 patients intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was identified 6 - 16 years after lithotomy. The clinical manifestation of hepatolithiasis associated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma included:refractory hepatic abscess, incurable infection of intrahepatic biliary tract, and progressive obstructive jaundice. Only 35 patients received radical excision, 26 patients received palliative excision, 4 patients received radiofrequency ablation therapy, 19 patients received biopsy only. Conclusions There has been a considerable high coincidence between intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatolithiasis. Resection of the lobe containing intrahepatic stones may help to prevent the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of selective decongestive devascularization shunt of gastrosplenic region(SDDS-GSR) for the treatment of portal hypertension. Methods From September 2000 to June 2008, 44 patients with portal hypertension had received SDDS-GSR in our hospital. Twenty-nine of them had been followed up for 12-85 months (mean=44months). Results Operative mortality was 0 %. Mesenteric area pressure(33.82±5.12 cm H_2O) was higher than splenic area pressure(24.57±4.63 cm H_2O)soon after the operation finished(P<0.01). No re-bleeding ca-ses were found, and the encephalopathy occurred in 2.27% of the patients in the early stage of post-operation. However, the rates of 3.45% for re-bleeding and 3.45% for encephalopathy were noticed in long-term follow-up. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival were 100%, 95% and 95%, respectively. Dur-ing the long-term follow-up, the platelet counts markedly increased from (49.2±21.8 × 10~9/L) of preoperative value to (77.2±29.5×10~9/L) (P<0.01), while spleen size was significantly reduced.Conclusion SDDS-GSR is a reliable and reasonable surgical procedure for the management of portal hypertension.
