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.

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.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome(MSMDS).
Method:
Clinical data of a case diagnosed as MSMDS and hospitalized in our hospital in July 2016 was retrospectively analyzed. Literature search was performed at databases of PubMed, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP with the key words "multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome" "ACTA2" . The literature retrieval was confined from January 1980 to November 2016.The characteristics of MSMDS were summarized through review of literature.
Result:
A girl aged 1.6 years had recurrent cough and wheeze for more than 1 year, complicated with congenital fixed dilated pupils, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, and cerebrovascular abnormalities. We had done gene analysis for the patient and found ACTA2 c. 536C>T(p.R179H) heterozygous mutations, but her parents were normal. Totally 11 reports were retrieved from foreign language literature and no report from Chinese literature could be found; the retrieved articles reported a total of 25 cases of multiple system smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome. The minimum age was 11 months, 17 cases were female, 8 were male. The clinical common characteristic is congenital fixed dilated pupils, patent ductus arteriosus, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, and so on.
Conclusion
Genetic testing for ACTA2 gene mutations should be considered in infants presenting with congenital fixed dilated pupils and patent ductus arteriosus.

Human metapneumovirus(hMPV)is a common cause of acute lower respiratory infection(ALRI)in children, especially in children aged 2~5 years.The study and mastery of the epidemiological characteristics and transformation patterns of various subtypes of hMPV can lead to a deeper understanding of the distribution areas, epidemiological years and clinical relevance of various subtypes of hMPV.It is important to carry out systematic and comprehensive genotyping and epidemiological study of hMPV to reveal the distribution characteristics and epidemic trend of hMPV.In this review, the research progress in the epidemiology of hMPV is reviewed, which provides ideas for the surveillance, prevention and clinical treatment of hMPV infection, and provides reference for the development of hMPV vaccine and disease prevention and control.
