1.The relation of MIF level in serum and the stages and lymphnode metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer
Journal of Chinese Physician 2009;11(4):456-457
Objective To study the relationship between serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels and clinical features in the patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays was used to detect the concentration of MIF in sera of 75 patients with colorectal cancer (35 case with primary colorectal cancer and 40 cases with lymphnode metastasis of colorectal cancer) and 40 healthy controls. The relationship between serum MIF levels and clinical features was analyzed. Results Serum MIF was found to be significantly elevated in the patients with colorectal cancer(mean value 31.2ng/ml) compared with healthy subjects (mean value 13.6ng/ml) (P <0. 001). The levels of MIF in colorectal cancer were significantly correlated with advanced clinical progression pathology stages (P <0. 05) and lymph node metastasis (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Increased expression level of MIF in serum may promote the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and M1F is closely associated with the stages and lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs)are closely associated with the development,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).The abnormal expressions of miRNA play important roles in regulating the genetic variation,cell cycle,invasion and metastasisability and apoptosis of CCA.MiRNAs are hopeful for being used as the biological markers of early diagnosis,prognosis and treatment target.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2012;31(8):662-665
Objective To understand the clinical feature of the elderly patients with diabetes during coronary angiography,and analyze the risk factors of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).Methods The clinical data of 269 elderly patients who had undergone coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) from January 2007 to December 2009 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into two groups:CIN group and non-CIN group.The possible risk factors for CIN,such as glycemic control,diabetic complication,renal function,volume of contrast medium,inflammatory state,therapy of perioperative period,past medical history were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results In 269 elderly patients with diabetes,the incidence of CIN was 9.3 % (25/269).According to estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR),the patients were divided into four subgroup:≥90 ml/min,89-60 ml/min,59-30 ml/min,<29 ml/min.The incidences of CIN for the subgroups were 2.2%(1/45),4.4%(6/135),17.3%(14/81) and 50 % (4/8),respectively.Multivariate logistic gradual regressive analysis showed that loop diuretic use (OR> 6.07),preoperative e-GFR(<60 ml/min) (OR>3.27),volume of contrast medium (≥200ml) (OR>3.26),chronic kidney disease(CKD) (OR>2.80) (P=0.001,0.024,0.015,0.048) were indepen-dent risk factors for CIN (P<0.05). Conclusions Loop diuretic use,preoperative GFR (<60 ml/min),volume of contrast medium (≥200 ml) and CKD are independent risk factors of CIN.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of interferon alpha (IFNα) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) and tebivudine (LdT) monotherapy for patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who have poor response to IFNα treatment.Methods A total of 86 HBeAg positive CHB patients admitted to the Sixth People' s Hospital of Shaoxing during February 2010 and April 2013 were enrolled in the study.All the patients received IFNα monotherapy for 24 weeks and had poor responses.The patients were voluntarily divided into three groups:IFNα monotherapy group (n =21),IFNα plus ADV group (n =30) and LdT monotherapy group (n =35).Chi-square test was used to compare ALT normalization rates,rate of HBV DNA load < 500 copies/mL,HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg seroconversion rates among three groups.Results After 48 weeks of treatment,the ALT normalization rate in IFNα monotherapy group was 52.6% (10/19),which was lower than those in IFNα plus ADV group (86.7%,26/30) and LdT monotherapy group (84.8%,28/33) (x2 =6.913 and 6.361,P < 0.05).The rate of HBV DNA load <500 copies/mL in IFNα monotherapy group was 26.3% (5/19),which was lower than those in IFNα plus ADV group (60.0%,18/30) and LdT monotherapy group (54.5%,18/33) (x2 =11.33 and 3.895,P <0.05).No HBeAg negative conversion or seroconversion was observed in IFNα monotherapy group,but it was observed in 6 (20.0%,6/30) patients in IFNαt plus ADV group and 7 (21.2%,7/33) patients in LdT monotherapy group (x2 =4.330 and 4.657,P < 0.05).No HBsAg seroconversion was observed in three groups.There were no statistical significant differences in ALT normalization rates,rate of HBV DNA load < 500 copies/mL,HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg seroconversion rates between IFNαt plus ADV group and LdT monotherapy (x2 =0.042,0019 and 0.064,P > 0.05).Conclusion For patients with HBeAg positive CHB who had poor response to IFNα treatment,IFNα plus ADV therapy and LdT monotherapy have the same efficacy in improvement of both liver function and virological response.

Gadd45a, a p53 and BRCA1-regulated growth arrest and DNA damage gene, plays important roles in suppressing cell transformation and tumor malignancy. Gadd45a maintains the genomic stability through inhibiting the cell growth and promoting the DNA repair etc, by which it suppresses the tumor development. Additionally, Gadd45a is involved in some important signaling pathway, contributing to its function in tumor suppressing.

Objective To evaluate the value of vascular intervention in the diagnosis and management of hemobilia. Methods With Seldinger's technique ,digital subtraction angiography of superior mesenteric artery and hepatic arteriography were performed on 3 patients with hemobilia, two of whom manifested hemobilia after the operation of liver trauma and one of whom did after the operation of command bile duct stones . Arteriography showed the bleeding vascular branch, the false aneurysm and the arteriovenous fistula. And then a small catheter was put into the bleeding focus. The bleeding branch arteries were selectively embolized with embolus of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA),PVA granule,spring wire loop and gelatin sponge. Results Two cases showed diffuse bleeding focus and another showed a local bleeding focus. Two cases had expression of false aneurysm and one showed expression of ateriovenous fistula. The artery branches of the bleeding focus were successfully embolizated and the hemobilia stopped immediately. Conclusions Vascular intervention is an effective method for the diagnosis and management of hemobilia.

Objective To characterize the electroanatomical mapping and to assess the value of radiofrequency ablation of atrial tachycardia (AT) in left atria. Methods Nine patients with AT in left atria were studied. Three-dimensional electroanatomical maps were constructed in left atrium using electroanatomical mapping system (Carto). The type of AT (focal or macroreentrant) was identified by the electroanatomical maps, and the ablation targets were at the earliest activation sites or the isthmus of circuit. Results There were ten ATs in 9 cases. The relatively early A waves were recorded in middle, distal or proximal parts of coronary sinus catheter. Nine focal ATs were diagnosed. The activation maps demonstrated that the earliest activation sites were at the ostium of pulmonary veins ( n =5), posterior area of left atrium ( n =2), ostia of left atria appendage ( n =1) or left atria appendage ( n =1) respectively. One macroreeentrant AT was diagnosed, whose circuit propagated through the isthmus, formed by the right superior pulmonary vein and fossa ovalis. Eight focal ATs were all ablated successfully at the earliest activation sites, and one AT from left atria appendage was ablated unsuccessfully. Line of ablation was performed at the isthmus of the macroreentrant AT. During a period of 6-30 months follow-up, one patient with focal AT recurred and underwent another ablation with successful result. No complication occurred. The procedure time and the fluoroscopic time were 90-140 min, 8-16 min respectively in successful cases. Conclusion These results suggest that electroanatomical mapping of AT in left atria may facilitate rapid and accurate identification of the type of AT and guide ablation safely or effectively with less fluoroscopic time and higher success rate, especially in unsuccessful cases with conventional technique.
