【Abstract】ObjectiveTo discuss how to improve the current status on clinical therapy for advanced gastric carcinoma. MethodsRelated literatures searched on Medline were collected and reviewed. ResultsThe 5th edition of UICC/AJCC TNM staging system of gastric carcinoma is useful to evaluate the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric carcinoma followed by extended lymphadenectomy. There are many factors influencing their prognosis including disease stage, extent of lymphadenectomy, assistant therapy and so on. ConclusionIt is significant for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma to undergo individualized extended lymphadenectomy and comprehensive therapy to improve their prognosis after radical gastrectomy
目的 探讨原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症(PHPT)的诊治经验。 方法 回顾性分析我院近15年间18例手术治疗的PHPT患者的临床资料。结果 初诊病例术前核素99Tcm-sestamibi扫描和B超检查阳性定位诊断率分别为100%(9/9)和88%(15/17)。18例均经手术治疗,其中1例为再手术病例。术后病理诊断甲状旁腺腺瘤13例,其中1例为双腺瘤; 甲状旁腺增生4例; 甲状旁腺腺癌1例。首次手术治愈率为88%(15/17)。2例甲状旁腺增生病例未治愈。再手术1例因损伤了单侧喉返神经致术后声音嘶哑。结论 术前核素99Tcm-sestamibi扫描和B超检查对制定手术方案有重要意义,大多数PHPT病例适合行单侧颈部探查术。甲状旁腺增生病例的手术治愈率低。
Objective To investigate whether the growth of the human experimental hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be suppressed by the antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). MethodsThe monoclonal antiVEGF antibody was injected to nude mice nearby the xenograft tumour foculs of the human SMMC7721 HCC. The changes of the tumour size were measured at different times. The intratumoural microvessels were showed by immunohistochemical staining of CD31 antigen; the apoptotic cells in the tumour tissues were detected in situ by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTPbiotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. ResultsIn the first and second week after finishing the injection procedure, the tumour sizes were compared as the length (mm) multiplying width (mm) between the two groups, the tumour sizes as the test group vs the control group were (26.46±19.81) mm2 vs (105.77±17.40) mm2 (P<0.001) and (45.20±23.02) mm2 vs (150.77±77.41) mm2 (P<0.05), respectively. After 2 weeks the intratumoural microvessel density (iMVD) and the apoptotic index (AI) were compared between two groups with iMVD being (2 311±120)/mm2 vs (3 900±328)/mm2(P<0.001 ) and AI being (15.31% vs 6.83%), P<0.005. Conclusion The antiVEGF antibody can suppress the xenograft tumour growth of the human SMMC7721 HCC by antiangiogenesis.In fact, its antitumour effect is produced by elevating the incidence of apoptosis in tumour tissues.
