Therapeutic effect of pancreatic cancer depends on early detection and effective treatment.The early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is so difficult that the discovery of pancreatic cancer is often in mid and late stages,so the treatment of meaning is not so satisfying.In recent years the rapid study of proteomics has brought great hope in the early discovery of pancreatic cancer to make it the post-genome era of functional genomics research in hot areas.Separating and identifying the serum、juice and tissue of patients with pancreatic cancer to find out the different proteins between normal and sick individuals can provide theoretical base and new ideas for the pathogenesis and early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is a commonly malignant gastrointestinal tumor with an significantly increasing incidence.Those patients without nonspecific symptoms at early stage had mostly lost the opportunity of surgical therapy when pancreatic cancer was detected at advanced stage,and its prognosis is poor.Therefore,it is rather important to improve the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.In recent years,proteomics is developing rapidly.Proteomics technologies have been widely used in clinical research.Using proteomics technology screening pancreatic cancer tumor markers becomes the research focus,thus we try to find a kind of or a group of pancreatic tumor markers,so as to improve the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To evaluate the activation of the visual cortex in patients with primary openangle glaucoma (POAG) and to explore whether the neuronal activity corresponds with retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and cup-to-disc (C/D) values.Methods Twenty-five patients and 25 gender-and agematched healthy volunteers were studied.Blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) and three-dimensional brain volume imaging (3 D BRAVO) sequences were obtained using 3 T MR imaging system.A full-screen black-white shift checkerboard was used for visual stimulus during the fMRI experiment and was performed on each eye of all subjects using a visual-acoustical system.All acquired data were postprocessed and analyzed by statistical parametric mapping (SPM).After analysis,individual activated mapping,intra-group mean activated mapping,and inter-group variant mapping were observed.The voxel number,intensity,and Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinate of the activated clusters were recorded.The Xjviewer software was utilized to obtain activated voxel numbers in occipital lobe.A Pearson correlated test was performed to test the correlation between the number of activated voxels and RNFL,C/D and Hodapp-Anderson-Parrish (HAP) clinical stage.Results Intra-group mean activated mappings of both patients and volunteers showed obvious activation in bilateral occipital lobes.As compared with healthy volunteers,the POAG patients exhibited statistically significantly decreased activation in bilateral occipital lobes,left hippocampus,and left cerebellum,along with lower mean RNFL [(71.56 ±21.54) i m versus (111.88 ± 9.96) μm] and higher C/D values (0.71 ± 0.18 versus 0.36 ± 0.08 ; t value was respectively-10.901 and 11.643,P ＜ 0.05).The number of activated voxels in the occipital lobes of POAG patients did not correlate with RNFL,C/D and HAP clinical stage of the corresponding eye (r value was respectively 0.157,-0.113 and-0.242,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions fMRI demonstrated differences in visual cortex activation in POAG patients relative to healthy volunteers,suggesting it might be a promising complementary method for diagnosing glaucoma.However,fMRI findings did not correlate with POAG extent,as measured by RNFL and C/D values.Ophthalmological examination remains to play an important role in the evaluation of open-angle glaucoma.

ObjectiveTo find out the inhibitory effects of CD4 - CD8 - DNT cells on growth of which depresses the pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo.Methods The inhibitory effects of DNT cells on the growth of Panc- 1 were studied in vitro by MTT method.Eighteen BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups randomly.Human pancreatic cancer xenografts were established in 2 groups randomly.The last group was injected the cell suspension which comprises DNT and Panc- 1 cells ( Panc- 1∶ DNT =1∶ 5 ).When the diameter of tumor was about 5 mm,the first 2 group mice were further divided into 2 groups randomly.One was control,treated with distilled water.The other was treated with celebrex (4 mg/d).The size of the tumors was calculated every 2 weeks and tumor growth curve was depicted.At the end of the treatments,the mice were sacrific and the tumors were harvested.The tumor inhibition rate was calculated.Results( 1 ) MTT study showed that DNT cells produced a dose- dependent inhibition of Panc- 1 proliferation in vitro.(2) The growth of transplanted pancreatic cancer was down-regulated by treatment of DNT cells.ConclusionDNT cells can inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical features and surgical outcomes in solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas.MethodsA retrospective clinical analysis was made on 18 cases of solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas confirmed by pathological diagnosis from Jan.2000 to Feb.2011.ResultsThe median age of these cases was 27.8 years,ranging from 15 to 46 years.Fifteen cases were female and 3 cases were male.The size of the tumor ranged from 4.0 cm to 15.0 cm,with an average size of 7.1 cm.Eleven of 18 tumors(61.1％ ) had a well-defined capsule,and 5 tumors (27.8％ ) extended beyond the pancreas.Nine of the 18 tumors (50.0％) had a cystic component,and calcification was observed in 3 tumors ( 16.7％ ).The frequency of microscopic venous invasion,lymphatic invasion,and nerve invasion was 16％ (3 of 18),0 and 0 respectively.No lymph node involvement or liver metastasis was observed.Distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy was done in 5 patients,spleen- preserving distal pancreatectomy in 3,medial pancreatectomy in 1,subtotal stomach- preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in 1,enucleation in 9.Fifteen patients were still alive without recurrent disease or metastasis after a median follow-up of 48 months.Conclusions These results demonstrated that solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas occurs mainly in young women,patients with solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas had a favorable outcome after surgical treatment,including enucleation.

ObjectiveA comparative proteomic method was used to analyse serum proteins between pancreatic cancer patients and control group,and to find a new protential specific marker.MethodsComparative analysis on the pancreatic peripheral blood protein profiling from 40 pancreatic cancer patients,10 chronic pancreatitis patients,10 benign tumor patients and 40 cancer-free controls was carried out by 2D differential gel electrophoresis,and differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry.ResultsTwo differentially expressed proteins:transthyretin and apolipoprotein E were identified.Those proteins were highly expressed in pancreatic carcinoma group compared with normal control group,chronic pancreatitis group and benign tumor group.Conclusion2D differential gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry technology in screening specific serum biomarkers of pancreatic cancer has a well repeatability and stability.The identified protein transthyretin in this study may be as specific serum biomarkers of pancreatic carcinoma.

Transposition of simple or composite forearm island flaps with a radial vascular pedicle was performed in repairing tissue defects of the hand and reconstruction of the thumb in 16 patients. It was found to be easy to operate and no suturing of blood vessels was necessary. The postoperative swelling was less marked. The flap was good in texture and sensation after the operation. The overall result wassatisfactory. Anatomic-physiological situdy was also carried out. 16 patients have been operated on, including 2 thumb reconstructions, with satisfactoryresults.
