Objective To evaluate the efficacy of interventional therapy for advanced pancreatic carcinoma. Methods 33 cases of advanced pancreatic carcinoma accepted interventional therapy from April 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were unoperable and accepted one or more times of celiac and superior mesenteric arterial chemotheraputics perfusion with dosage of 2:1. The embolization was further introduced with the addition of liver invasion. The repetition interval was kept at 6 weeks with no severe complications. Results The one with follow-up CT imagings showed obvious decrease of the lesion size, together with release or disappearance of the sensation of abdominal pain and abdominal distention. The life span prolonged with average survival of 13 months, including the longest of 22 months and the life quality improved. Conclusions The interventional therapy could be the first method of choice in the management of advanced pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective:To study the expressions of serum levels of intedeukin-12 (IL-12),interferon-γ (IFN-γ),erythropoietin (EPO) and ferritin in patients with acute leukemia and its clinical significance.Methods:76 patients with acute leukemia who were treated in our hospital from July 2015 to July 2016 were selected as the observation group,including 31 cases of newly diagnosed group,25 cases of remission group and 20 cases of relapse group.And another 76 cases who had taken the physical examination in our hospital were selected as the control group.Then the levels of serum IL-12,IFN-γ,EPO and ferritin in patients were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:The levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the levels of EPO and ferritin were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜0.05).The levels of serum IL-12 and IFN-γ in the untreated group and the relapse group were significantly lower than those of the remission group [(84.21± 5.43)pg/mL,(98.7± 7.98)pg/mL VS(112.43± 10.21) pg/mL,(38.54± 3.56)pg/mL,(49.87± 4.02)pg/mL VS(108.32± 8.43)pg/mL](P ＜0.05),and the levels of EPO and ferritin were significantly higher than those of the remission group [(402.32± 42.31) mIU/mL (321.58± 30.21)mIU/mL VS (98.21 ± 9.45) mIU/mLM (653.21 ± 54.24) ng/mLM (512.87 ± 43.45)ng/mL VS (342.15 ± 25.12)ng/mL] (P＜0.05).Conclusion:The serum levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ in patients with acute leukemia were lower,and the expression of EPO and ferritin was higher,and the disease and prognosis could be evaluated by monitoring the changes of these indexes.

AIM:To elucidate the correlation between the expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1)/ATP-binding cassette subfaminly G member 2 ( ABCG2 ) and microvessel density ( MVD ) in epithelial ovarian cancer ( EOC) .METHODS:In 198 specimens of EOC and 60 specimens of ovarian benign epithelial tumor tissues , the protein expression of ALDH1/ABCG2 and CD105 ( microvessel marker ) was detected by immunohistochemical staining .RE-SULTS:The positive rates of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in the EOC were 64.1%and 61.6%, respectively , while the positive rates in benign epithelial tumor tissues were 8.3%and 6.7%, respectively , and there were significant differences between them (P<0.05).In EOC and benign epithelial tumor tissues , the MVD were 22.6 ±9.7 and 5.03 ±3.35, respectively, and the difference was also significant (P<0.05).The expression of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in EOC was significantly related to differentiation, FIGO stage,and abdominal organ and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).MVD had correlation with dif-ferentiation, FIGO stage, ascite, and abdominal organ and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).MVD had positive correla-tion with the expression of ALDH1 and ABCG2 (P<0.01).There was also a positive correlation between the expression of ALDH1 and ABCG2 ( P<0.01) .Over-expression of ALDH1/ABCG2 and MVD≥23 were related to the poor prognosis . The survival rates in ALDH1/ABCG2 positive and MVD≥23 groups were significantly lower than those in ALDH 1/ABCG2 negative and MVD<23 groups (P<0.05).The FIGO stage, the expression of ALDH1/ABCG2 and MVD were indepen-dent prognosis factors of EOC ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the expression of ALDH 1/ABCG2 and MVD in EOC are related to differentiation , lymph node metastasis , clinical stage and prognosis .Combined detection of these indexes may play an important role in predicting the progression and prognosis of EOC .

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on necroptosis during liver injury in septic rats.Methods Eighteen SPF adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-220 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group SH),sepsis group (group SEP) and dexmedetomidine group (group DEX).Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats in SEP and DEX groups.Dexmedetomidine 5 μg/kg was injected via the caudal vein at 1 h before operation in group DEX.Blood samples were collected from the caudal vein at 6 h after operation for determination of serum aspartate amino-transferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed and livers were removed for determination of the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in liver tissues (using chemiluminescence assay) and expression of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1),RIP3,mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL),high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and dynamin-related protein 1 (Drpl) in liver tissues (by Western blot).Results Compared with group SH,the serum AST and ALT concentrations were significantly increased,the expression of RIP1,RIP3,MLKL,HMGB1 and Drpl in liver tissues was up-regulated,and the level of ROS in liver tissues was increased in SEP and DEX groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group SEP,the serum AST and ALT concentrations were significantly decreased,the expression of RIP1,RIP3,MLKL,HMGB1 and Drp1 in liver tissues was down-regulated,and the level of ROS in liver tissues was decreased in group DEX (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine attenuates liver injury may be related to inhibition of necroptosis in septic rats.

Objective To explore the effect of gastrin_(17) on E cadherin/?-catenin complex,a down- stream effector of FAK pathway,in colonic carcinoma cell line CoLo320WT.Methods pCR3.1/GR plasmid expressing gastrin receptor CCK 2R was transfected into colonic carcinoma cell line CoLo320 by Lipofectamine~(TM) 2000 and expressing stably CCK 2R clones was screened by G418.The expression levels of gastrin receptor of Coi.o320 and the transfected cell line Colo320WT were assayed by RT PCR. CoLo320WT cells were treated by 10~(-8)mmol/L gastrin_(17) at distinct time points (0 hr,1 hr,6 hr,12 hr, 24 hr,48 hr),whilst treated by 10_(-6) mmol/L L365,260 (gastrin_(17) receptor blocker) simultaneously for 30 minutes and then treated by gastrin_(17) again for 12 hr.Expression levels of phosphorylated FAK Tyr397 and total FAK in CoLo320WT under gastrin_(17)intervention were detected hy Western blot.Ex- pression levels of E-cadherin and?-catenin complex in TX-100 solution fraction and TX-100 insolution fraction of CoLo320WT cells were detected by coimmunoprecipitation and Western blot.Distribution of E-cadherin and?-catenin in CoLoWT320 were observed by immunocytochemistry.Results Phosphoryla- ted FAK Tyr397 expression in CoLo320WT cells increased in time dependent fashion under gastrin_(17) intervention and peaked at 12 hour after intervention,while decreased by L365,260 inhibition.But gas trine_(17) had no effect on total FAK in CoLo320WT cells.Expresion levels of E-cadherin and?-catenin com- plex in TX-100 solution fraction were decreased apparently,but increased again after L365,260 block- ing.On the contrary,the expression levels of E-cadherin and?-eatenin complex in TX-100 solution frac tion differed from that in TX-100 solution.Cytoehemistry observation had revealed that E-cadherin and?-catenin transferred from cell membranes into cndochylemas,nuclei and cytoskeleton under gastrin_(17) in- tervention.Conclusions Gastrin_(17)affected significantly the distribution of E cadherin/?-catenin complex in CoLo320WT by phosphorating FAK Tyr397 and activating FAK pathway when it bound to its recep- tor CCK-2,therefore promoted invasion and metastasis of CoLo320WT.

Objective To investigate the value of new microvascular pattern of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesion.Methods A total of 72 peripheral lung lesions which had been proved by clinical and pathology results underwent conventional ultrasound,CEUS and new microvascular pattern examination.Two independent readers (Reader 1 and Reader 2) blindly and retrospectively analysised and classified the characteristic of microvascular patterns respectively,and Kappa test was used for evaluating the concordance between the two readers.The diagnosis accuracy of CEUS was calculated,and the CEUS diagnostic scores were compared with conventional ultrasound.Results 16 benign lesions and 56 malignant lesions were enrolled in this study.The microvascular patterns in benign lesions included branch enhancement(43.8 ％,31.3％),point and patchy enhancement (18.8％,25.0％) and rim-like enhancement (18.8％,18.8％).The microvascular patterns in malignant lesions included vascular enhancement (46.4％,57.1％),cotton enhancement (26.8％,25.0％) and dead wood enhancement (19.6％,8.9％).There was significant difference between benign and malignant lesions.Kappa result showed that the two readers had a good diagnosis concordance(Kappa=0.759,P =0.000).According to the different types of microvascular pattern,the diagnostic accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity rates of two readers were 92.9％,91.1％;81.3％,75.0％ and 90.3％,87.5％,respectively.Before CEUS,59.7％ and 68.1％ of lesions were diagnosed as 3 by two readers respectively,while only 1.4％ and 6.9％ of lesions were diagnosed as 3 after CEUS.Further analysis demonstrated that there was significant difference in the microvascular pattern between squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma,and also between squamous carcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma.Conclusions Contrast-enhanced ultrasound could significantly increase the differential diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions.New microvascular pattern helped to display patterns of vascular perfusion.of peripheral lung lesions,and provide new diagnostic clue for differential diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of acute high altitude exposure on lung functions and the relationship between lung functions and acute mountain sickness ( AMS) .Method We collected the lung function and Lewis Lake data of 73 subjects (aged 18 to 26,male) at 400 m above sea-leve and those at high altitude(exposure to 3900 m, 5 d).Results Compared with sea-level, lung functions decreased in forced vital capucity (FVC), maximum midexpiratory flow(MMF), V50, V25 while forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1), peak expiratory flow(PEF), V75 did not change.FVC, FEV1, PEF, MMF were used to analyze the relationship between lung functions and AMS .There was no difference in lung functions between AMS group and NON AMS group at sea-level, but lung functions of AMS group were significantly lower than those of NON AMS group in FVC , MMF at high altitude .There was difference between AMS group and NON AMS group in the rate of change of FVC and MMF .Logistic regression analysis showed that the rate of change of FVC was an independent risk factor , while correlation analysis showed that the change of FVC and the change of oxygen saturation were relevant.Conclusion Lung functions showed restrictive decrease after acute high altitude exposure .Changes of lung func-tions will increase hypoxia and susceptiblity to AMS .

Objective To investigate the clinical pattern,therapeutic principle and influencing factors of interstitial pneumonia in renal allograft recipients.Method The general information,clinical manifestation,treatment and outcomes of 30 recipients with interstitial pneumonia after renal transplantation from Nov.2006 to Dec.2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Result Twenty-nine of 30 patients developed interstitial pneumonia between 2 to 6 months post-transplant.The total course of the pneumonia lasted for 34.9 ± 7.5 days on average.Chest CT scans were used to monitor severity of interstitial pneumonia each week.The mean duration between the onset to the fastigium of pneumonitis was approximately 14.8 ± 1.9 days.The mean duration of the fastigium lasted for 7.3 ±3.6 days,after that the patients usually started to recover.Deteriorated chest CT scan findings and long terms of the fastigium usually indicated poor outcomes.The mean duration of the recovery period was 13.1 ± 3.7 days.After adjusted administration of methylprednisolone,antibiotics,antifungal agents,nutritional support as well as immunosuppressive drugs,23 patients with mild and moderate pneumonia by the chest CT scans were cured and discharged.However,4 of the 7 patients with severe pneumonia by the chest CT scans died.Conclusion The progression of interstitial pneumonia after renal transplantation is characterized by a more consistent regularity.After adjusted administration of methylprednisolone,antibiotics,antifungal agents,nutritional support as well as immunosuppressive drugs,renal allograft recipients with interstitial pneumonia could obtain a good therapeutic effect without over-treatment.
