Objective To investigate the effects of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) on the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostaglandin E_2 (PGE_2) in pancreatic carcinoma both in vitro and in vivo, and to clarify the possible mechanism of PGE_2 in mediating COX-2 inducing angiogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma. Methods In vitro study, the inhibitory effects of Celebrex, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, on the expression of VEGF and PGE_2 in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines PC-3 were determined using either enzyme-linked immuno-absorbent assay (ELISA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA). Effect of exogenous PGE_2 on the down-regulation of VEGF by Celebrex was also assessed. In vivo study, PC-3 cell line xenograft nude mice model was established. Changes of VEGF expression and PGE_2 of tumor tissues after the treatment of Celebrex were investigated using Western blotting or RIA. Results Celebrex suppressed the expressions of VEGF and PGE_2 in cultured PC-3 cell line with a manner of dose- and time-dependence. Exogenous PGE_2 up-regulated the expression of VEGF, which was suppressed by Celebrex in a dose-dependent fashion. In vivo study, administration of Celebrex into xenograft nude mice inhibited expressions of VEGF and PGE_2 significantly. Conclusion COX-2 is involved in angiogenesis in pancreatic carcinoma probably through the inhibition of the production of angiogenic factors such as VEGF. PGE_2 is likely to act as an important mediator in this process.

Objective To study the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin-1? (IL-1?) and ultrastructure changes in capillaries and to explore whether capillaries may play a role in the pathogenesis of polymyositis (PM). Methods Ten cases of patients with PM were collected. Control group 1 consists of 6 patients with other myopathies,Control group 2 consists of 2 muscle specimens without clinical and histological evidence of a neuromuscular disorder. An immunohistochemical technique was applied to indentify the expression of ICAM-1 and IL-1? in capillaries in the PM group, Control group 1 and Control group 2. The first analysis was a qualitative assessment. For the second analysis, the number of positive mononuclear cells and capillaries of the whole tissue section from each patient and control was estimated for all the immunologic markers investigated. 10 PM patients were also examined by electron microscopy in order to observe capillary changes in muscles. Results We found that the capillaries in tissues from PM (median (64?20)/mm~2 of tissue, ranging 44—106/mm~2) were significantly less than those from controls (median (157?46)/mm~2 of tissue, ranging 93—213/mm~2) (t=-4.523, P=0.003). A significantly higher number of capillaries expressed IL-1? in the PM group than in the Control group 1(median 15/mm~2 of tissue (ranging 6—46/mm~2) vs 3/mm~2 of tissue (ranging 0—16/mm~2)) (t=3.721, P=0.003). There was no significant difference between PM group and Control group 1 in the number of capillaries expressing ICAM-1 (t=0.529,P=0.617). However, ICAM-1 expressions in endothelial cells of capillaries were stronger in PM patients as IL-1?. Electronic microscopy found capillary changes in 6 PM patients, showing as thickening and duplication of basement membrane, swelling of endothelial cells, stenosis or occlusion of vessels.Conclusion Our findings indicate that capillary changes might take a role in the pathogenesis of PM.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) with flexible bone cement injector through unilateral puncture. Method Unilateral puncture line PVP treatment for thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture was conducted in 78 patients, which was divided into observation group and control group according to the use of different equipment. The flexible bone cement injector was used in 36 cases of observation group, which injected the bone cement into three places at the vertebral body. The ordinary straight bone cement injector was applied in the 42 cases of the control group. The operation time, the time of radiation exposure, and the amount of bone cement injection were recorded, and the leakage of bone cement was observed. The visual analogue scale (VAS), relative vertebral height and Cobb angle were recorded at 1 week, 1 and 2 years follow-up. The time of operation, the time of radiation exposure, the amount of bone cement injection, the incidence of bone cement leakage, VAS, relative height of vertebral body and Cobb angle were compared between the two groups using independent samples t test orχ2 test. Result All patients in the two groups were successfully treated by surgery. There were no significant differences between the observation group and the control group in the operation time and the time of radiation exposure and the incidence of bone cement leakage (P>0.05). The injection amounts of bone cement in the observation group and the control group were (5.6 ± 0.7) and (3.2 ± 0.6) ml, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS score, relative vertebral height and Cobb angle between the two groups at 1 week after operation (P>0.05). At 1 year and 2 years after operation, the differences of the above indexes between the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05), with the observation group being superior to the control group. Conclusions Application of flexible bone cement injector for PVP operation is safe and feasible. Compared with the traditional straight bone cement injector, the use of flexible bone cement injector will not increase the operation time, radiation exposure time and the incidence of bone cement leakage but will improve the long-term effect.
