Objective:To investigate the clinical value of serological test indicators in the identification of primary and metastatic liver cancers. Methods:We detected the serum levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TBIL, DBIL, GGT, CHE, 5'-NT, CA199, CEA, and AFP in primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC;120 cases), metastatic hepatic carcinoma (MHC;135 cases), and no liver metastatic control (135 cas-es) groups. The methods used were variance analysis and Scheffe test. ROC curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of CA199 , CEA, and AFP in PHC and MHC. Results:The difference between the serum levels of AST, ALP, GGT, 5'-NT, AFP, and CEA of the PHC and MHC groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The AFP, CEA, and CA199 areas under the ROC curve of the PHC and MHC groups revealed that AFP diagnosis of primary liver cancer had certain accuracy, whereas CEA and CA199 have some diagnostic value in differentiating primary and metastatic liver cancers. Conclusion: The detection of serum levels of AST, GGT, 5'-NT, AFP, CA199, and CEA in malignant tumor was a preliminary diagnosis of liver metastasis and can provide evidence for the dif-ferential diagnosis of PHC and MHC.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of radical surgery for pancreatic body and tail tumors accompanied with sinistral portal hypertension (SPH).Method The clinicopathological data of 35 patients with pancreatic body and tail tumors accompanied with SPH operated from January 2004 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of 35 patients,22 patients had body and tail pancreatic carcinomas,10 patients had malignant solid pesudopaillary tumors and 1 patients had a neuroendocrine tumor.All these patients developed splenomegaly and varices in the gastric fundus with normal hepatic function.The splenic vein pressure was (27.3 ±3.8)cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa),its average diameter was (1.3 ± 0.3) cm,and the speed of splenic vein blood flow was (8.9 ± 0.8) cm/s.Of the 35 patients with pancreatic body and tail tumors who underwent radical resectional operations,22 patients in addition underwent devascularization.There were 13 of these 22 patients who underwent pericardical devascularization and the remaining 9 underwent total or proximal gastrectomy.The main complications were pancreatic fistula (n =5,14.2％),intra-abdominal infection (n =4,11.5％),delayed gastric emptying (n =1,2.8％),lymphatic fistula (n =1,2.8％) and gastric perforation (n =1,2.8％).The post-complication morbidity rate was 34％.All these patients were followed-up for 6 to 60 months after operations.There was no upper gastrointestinal bleeding which occurred within 6 months of operation.Conclusion Multi-disciplinary treatment,complete preoperative evaluation,correct perioperative and individualized management enhanced efficacy in the surgical treatment of patients with pancreatic body and tail tumors with SPH.

Objective To determine the median effective target effect-site concentration (EC50) of sufentanil when intraoperative wake-up test was successful in patients undergoing scoliosis surgery.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2,scheduled for scoliosis surgery under sevoflurane and sufentanil anesthesia,were randomly divided into Ⅰ-Ⅵ groups (n =15 each).Anesthesia was induced with sufentanil,etomidate and cisatracurium,and maintained with sevoflurane,sufentanil and cisatracurium.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Before the wake-up test,infusion of cisatracurium was stopped and the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to 0.The EC50 was determined by the K(a)rber method.The target effect-site concentration of sufentanil was set at 0.19 ng/ml in group Ⅰ,0.18 ng/ml in group Ⅱ and gradually decreased in decrements of 0.01 ng/ml.The wake-up test was performed 5 min later.The EC50 and 95 ％ confidence interval of sufentanil were calculated by the K(a)rber method.Results EC50 of sufentanil obtained was 0.164 ng/ml and 95％ confidence interval of sufentanil obtained was 0.157-0.172 ng/ml when the wake-up test was successful.Conclusion The EC50 of sufentanil is 0.164 ng/ml when the intraoperative wake-up test is successful in the patients undergoing scoliosis surgery.

BACKGROUND:Some studies indicate that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is associated with the expression of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and the function of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in skeletal muscle. However, it is stil unclear whether PI3K/Akt signaling pathway has the effects on CREB and GLUT4 in skeletal muscle of the rats with high-fat diet and treadmil exercise. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether PI3K/Akt signaling pathway has the effects on CREB and GLUT4 in gastrocnemius muscle of the rats with high-fat diet and treadmil exercise. METHODS:A total of 70 rats were fed with normal diet for 2 weeks, and randomly divided into common feed group (n=20) and high-fat feed group (n=50). Rats in both groups were respectively fed with common feed and high-fat feed for 8 weeks. The rats in the common feed group were equaly assigned to common feed quiet group and common feed exercise group. 20 rats from the high-fat feed group whose body weight was 1.4 times of common rats were randomly and equaly assigned to obese quiet group and obese exercise group. Rats in the quiet groups did not do exercises. Rats in the exercise groups received adaptive sports for 1 week and medium-intensity treadmil exercise for 8 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Impairments of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway appeared in obese rats, however, the quantity of GLUT4 expression did not change obviously in gastrocnemius muscles of obese rats. The reasons for the decrease of the nuclear protein CREB level of gastrocnemius muscles of obese rats might be related to the decrease of pAkt-Ser473 level. (2) The increase of the quantity of GLUT4 expression was accompanied by significantly up-regulated pAkt-Ser473 level by exercise intervention in gastrocnemius muscles of obese rats. Exercise intervention significantly increased the expression of nuclear protein CREB in gastrocnemius muscles of chow-fed rats and obese rats, which was consistent with the changes of pAkt-Ser473. These findings suggest that pAkt-Ser473 can play an important role in the effects of high-fat diet and exercise intervention on GLUT4 and CREB protein expression in gastrocnemius muscles of obese rats.

Objective To establish an LC-MS/MS method for the detection of landiolol concentration in human blood.Methods After pretreatment with neostigmine and a deproteinization procedure, landiolol and the internal standard venlafaxine were eluted isocratically using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 10 mmoL·L-1 ammonium acetate with 0. 1% formic acid in a ratio of 3664 ( V/V ) . Separation of the respective compounds was achieved on a Waters XTerra? RP18 column (150 mmí4. 6 mm,5 μm). Quantitative analysis of landiolol was conducted by a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer with positive-electrospray ionization source,monitored under a multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode. The extracted ions monitored following MRM transitions were m/z 510. 5→423. 1 for landiolol and m/z 278. 2→215. 1 for the internal standard venlafaxine. ResultsThe calibration curve of landiolol in human blood showed good linear relationship in the range of 1. 010-2 020 μg·L-1 . The lower limit of quantitation was 1. 010 μg · L-1 . The RSD of within-day and between-day precision was less than 6. 5% and 4. 8%, respectively. The recovery rate was 92. 6%-100. 9%. Conclusion The method is proven to be simple,rapid and reliable,and can be applied to study the pharmacokinetics of landiolol hydrochloride in healthy Chinese volunteers.

Objective To analyze the regulation of estrogen receptor α (ERα) on truncated neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R-Tr), and the influence of this regulation on cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cell lines. Methods The chromatin immune coprecipitation (CHIP) was used to observe the transcriptional regulation function of ERαon NK1R-Tr in breast cancer cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify whether ERα played a positive regulatory role in the expression of NK1R-Tr. Western blot assay and real-time-PCR were used to detect the expression of ERα and NK1R-Tr in breast cancer cells, MCF-7 and T47D, as well as the expression of NK1R-Tr protein and mRNA level. NK1R-Tr levels were also detected after using estradiol (E2, ERα agonist) and small interfering RNA (knock out ERα). CCK-8 and clone formation experimen were used to detect the proliferation ability of breast cancer cells after knocking out NK1R-Tr with small interfering RNAs. Results CHIP test and Luciferase reporter gene assay proved that ERα can positively regulate the expression of NK1R-Tr via the ERα sequences in the upstream of the NK1R-Tr gene promoter. The expression of NK1R-Tr at both protein level and mRNA level dropped in the estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7 upon knocking out ERα. After knocking out NK1R-Tr, the proliferation ability of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells was lower than that of the control group. Conclusion The ERα positively regulates the expression of NK1R-Tr, resulting in the increased cell proliferation in estrogen positive breast cancer cells.
