ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between nuclear factor κB (NFκB) and the occurrence, metastasis, and treatment of colon cancer. MethodsThe literature on the structure and the property of molecular biology of NFκB, the relationship between NFκB and apopotosis, malignant tumor and colon cancer were reviewed.ResultsNFκB had action of antiapopotosis. The occurrence of malignant tumor had close relation with the oncogene by NFκB, the metastasis of malignant tumor was that cell of cancer escaped the killing and supervising of immunity by NFκB. NFκB affected the occurrence and metastasis of colon cancer by regulating cmyc, Cox2, ICAM1.Conclusion NFκB has important action in the occurrence and metastasis of colon cancer. It will become a new target of treatment.
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship among plasma cytokines’ level, adhesion molecules expression and skin damage in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) of lower extremities.MethodsIn 32 patients with CVI and 8 normal individuals as control, blood TNFα, IL1β and IL2R were assayed with ELISA method; serum endothelial cellintercellular adhesion molecule1(ECICAM1), polymorphonuclearCD18(PMNCD18) and polymorphonuclearCD11b(PMNCD11b) were assayed with immunohistochemical method; and ultrastructure of diseased veins was examined by electroscope.ResultsThe results showed that the level of plasma TNFα and IL1β increased remarkably in Class 2-3 compared with Class 1 and control (P＜0.05), IL2R had no difference in Class 1,2,3(Pgt;0.05). The index of ECICAM1 and PMNCD11b positively expression increased remarkably in Class 2-3 compared with that in Class 1 and control. The index of PMNCD18 expression in Class 2-3 and Class 1 was greatly higher than that in control (P＜0.05). The expression of ICAM1 was positively correlated with that of CD11b/CD18. Electron microcopy showed that the change in microvessel was mainly PMN adhesion with endothelial cells (ECs) and trapped in microvessels.ConclusionThe results suggest that activated monocyte may release TNFα and IL1β, upregulate ICAM1 and CD11b/CD18 expression, and mediate the PMN adhesion to ECs, thus causing ECs and tissue damage. It may be one of important mechanism of venous ulcer.
ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the risk factors of recurrent groin hernia. MethodsData came from all hernia repairs recorded in our hospital between 1991 and 2001. A total of 1 082 cases of groin hernia was analyzed through Cox proportional hazard model to determine the relative risks between recurrence and mode of admission, types of groin hernia, repair methods (traditional/tensionfree hernioplasty), and postoperative complications.ResultsFrom 1991 to 2001,1 082 groin hernia operations were performed in our hospital, 88.9% for primary hernia and 11.2% for recurrent hernia. As compared with traditional hernia repair methods, Lichtenstein’s tensionfree hernioplasty technique had less relative risk for recurrent hernia repair than that for primary hernia repair. Postoperative complications and indirect hernia were linked to an increased relative risk for recurrence. ConclusionThere are many factors affecting the recurrence of inguinal hernia, but the use of tensionfree hernia repair may decrease rerecurrence of recurrent hernia.
Objective To study the change in serum levels of soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor-α, E-selectin, interleukin-10 and mean arterial pressure, as well as their relationship to infection during the pathophysiologic process in endotoxemia of rabbits. Methods Sixteen rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: group A, as a control group; group B, endotoxemia group. The model of rabbit with endotoxemia were used. Endotoxin at a dose of 1.5 mg/(kg·h) or 3 mg/(kg·h) was continuously infused through external jugular vein within 2 hours, 1 hour respectively. The change of levels of serum soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-10 and E-selectin were observed at 0 (time before infusion of endotoxin), 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 minutes, while mean arterial pressure was measured by polygraphy system. Results In the group B,there was an increase of content of soluble CD14,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-10 and E-selectin following 30, 120 minutes respectively,and mean arterial pressure was lower than that of group A at same time points. Conclusion The results suggest that soluble CD14,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-10 and E-selectin may play an important role during the change of infection and that these changes may be closely related with severe infection.

【Abstract】Objective To investigate the irradiating effect of low intensive microwave (LIM) on pathological process of blood vessel restenosis(RS) and assess the probability of LIM irradiation to prevent was used RS.Methods Fortyfour male healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups. Fogarty catheter traumatize to the tunica intima of iliac artery so as to establish RS models. Two thousand four hundred and fifty MHz microwave with different power of 2 ,5 and 10 mW/cm2 was used, locally to irradiate EIA in irradiating group (1 h/d). Specimens were obtained at different time of 3,7,14 and 28 d after operation. Morphological changes of tissues were observed with HE and EF staining and the area of tunica intima, tunica media and the rate of cavity stenosis were analyzed with image analysis system; apoptosis was detected with TUNEL; phenotype and microstructure of VSMC were observed with TEM. Results After microwave irradiating, inflammatory reaction in early period was suppressed, mural thrombus decreased, the proliferation and migration of VSMC depressed, the area of tunica intima and the rate of cavity stenosis obviously reduced comparing with the control group (P＜0.01). The rate of apoptosis cells showed that there were no obvious differences among each group on 3 d after operation (Pgt;0.05). At other different time, however, the rate of apoptosis cells in irradiating groups obviously increased than that of the control group (P＜0.01), particularly in the one with power of 5 mW/cm2 .The number of synthesis form VSMC in the control group occupied (93.50±3.45)% of the total number of VSMC on 14 d after operation. Most of VSMC appear contractile in irradiating group in which a lot of morphological changes of apoptosis in fibroblast and VSMC existed.Conclusion LIM irradiation could obviously prevented from pathologic procedure of RS. After LIM irradiating, inflammatory reaction in early period is suppressed, the proliferation and migration of VSMC depressed. LIM irradiation promotes cell apoptosis, effectively prohibites the occurring and development of RS. LIM irradiation has had relationship between quantity and effect, power span to effectively prohibit RS, particularly in the one with power of 5 mW/cm2.
Objective To discuss the endothelial cell which was modified by exogenous anticoagulant genes contribute to the increase of antithrombosis activity of lined vascular prosthesis and the influence to other physiological functions of endothelial cells. Methods This summarized paper was made on literature review of recent years. Results The transfection of genes, including plasminogen activator (tPA, uPA, Urokinase), thrombomoduline (TM) and hirudin, etc, to endothelial cells resulted in not only the increase of antithrombosis activity of local vascular, but also the decrease of endothelial cell function in adherence and proliferation. Conclusion The increase of antithrombosis activity of lined vascular prosthesis has been done by exogenous genes. However, this technique ought to be studied, intensively.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological significance of integrin α5β1 expression and microvessel density(MVD) in gastric cancer(GC) and the correlation of MVD with integrin α5β1. MethodsThe expression of integrin α5β1 was detected by means of immunohistochemical staining (SP method) on paraffinembeded tissue specimens from 35 primary gastric carcinoma(PGC), 10 metastasic lymph node of gastric cancer and 8 chronic superficial gastritis (CSG). Vascular endothelial cells were stained immunohistochemically using antiCD34 monoclonal antibody to recognize microvessel(MV) in 35 cases of PGC and 8 CSG, MV was counted in 4 hot spot per slide under lightmicroscope (×400) and the average was defined as MVD. The results combined with clinicopathological parameters were analyzed statistically to characterize the role of integrin α5β1 and MVD in the progression of gastric cancer. ResultsIntegrin α5β1 expression and MVD in PGC were significantly higher than those in CSG respectively （t=3.32, P lt;0.01; t=2.30, Plt;0.05）; the expression of integrin α5β1 in PGC showed only a correlation with the invasion depth of tumor (t=2.29, Plt;0.05） while MVD showed all correlations with invasion depth,lymph node status and TNM stage （t=3.07, Plt;0.01; t=2.48, Plt;0.05; t=2.94,Plt;0.01）. Neither integrin α5β1expression nor MVD showed a relation with differential of PGC （t=0.15, Pgt;0.05; t=0.41, Pgt;0.05）. Integrin α5β1 was significantly overexpressed in lymph node metastatic cancer compared with that in corresponding PGC （t=2.45, Plt;0.05）; the difference of MVD showed no statistical significance among levels of integrin α5β1 expression in PGC （F =1.43,P＞0.05） and it showed no correlation with integrin α5β1 expression（r= 0.156, P=0.37）.Conclusion Overexpression of integrin α5β1 is present in GC and associates with the progression of tumor, implying that it may be viewed as the indicator of invasion and metastasis and the candidate target of gene therapy of gastric cancer. However, integrin α5β1 may not play an important role in the vascularization of GC.
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in colorectal cancer and its relationship with metastasis and recurrence. MethodsParaffinembedded specimens from 59 patients with colorectal cancer, 16 patients with adenomas and 12 normal colonic tissues were examined and compared by SP immunohistochemical method. ResultsThe positive rate of VEGF in colorectal cancer were significantly higher than that in adenomas (P＜0.05). The positive rate of VEGF in Dukes A and B stage of colorectal cancer were significantly higher than those in Dukes C and D (P＜0.05). Expression of VEGF in postoperative recurrence group was markedly higher than that in the group with no recurrence (P＜0.05). Proliferative activity expression suggested that the poorer the differentiation, the more PCNA increased in case of lymphnode or hepatic metastasis. The PCNA showed marked difference between postoperative and nonpostoperative recurrences (P＜0.05). Conclusion The expression of VEGF and PCNA is closely related to the invasion and metastasis of tumor during the operation. The increased VEGF and high PCNA implies that there may be some potential metastasis present.
