ObjectiveTo study the expressions of Ras trapping to Golgi (RasTG) genes in pancreatic carcinoma tissues and to observe the growth, proliferation and the impact of tumors formation of human pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1), and to explore its mechanism. MethodsMade PANC1 as a target to research, transfected RasTG genes into PANC-1, used RNAi technology and observed the growth, proliferation and the impact of tumors formation of the cells. Meantime, contrasted the RasTG expressions between pancreatic ductal cancer and adjacent tissue by tissue microarray technology. Results①The expression of RasTG gene in tissues was not very differential， which was higher in the brain, liver, and adrenal gland. ②The expression of RasTG protein in pancreatic ductal carcinoma was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues （Plt;0.05）. ③After RasTG RNAi in PANC-1 cells, the ability of growth and proliferation were decreased. ④The ability of tumors formation in PANC-1 cells after RNAi was decreased, carcinoma’s volume of transfected group was significantly smaller than that in the nontransfected group (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsRasTG gene is widely distributed in animals. RasTG protein in pancreatic carcinoma tissues is higher than that in adjacent tissues. The ability of proliferation, transformation and tumors formation in PANC-1 cells after RNAi of RasTG gene are restrained, RasTG gene is a positive regulatory factor.
ObjectiveTo review the current clinical application of Beger procedure and Frey procedure for benign disease or low-grade malignant potential lesion of pancreas. MethodsRelevant literatures about current advance of clinical application of Beger procedure and Frey procedure published recently of domestic and abroad were collected and reviewed. ResultsWith the concept of organ-preserving operations was adopted in recent years, Beger procedure and Frey procedure were applied generally. Beger procedure and Frey procedure were associated with tolerable perioperative risk, postoperative complications, and good outcomes in the aspects of preservation of function and curability in these lesions compared to conventional pancreatectomy, with preservation of the physiological food passage, thus patients gained weight faster, had less pain, and demonstrated better exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function postoperatively and an improvement in the quality of life. Both procedures had reached an international position as a standard operation for the treatment of benign disease or low-grade malignant potential lesion of pancreas. But after long-term following-up early advantages were no longer present. ConclusionsBeger procedure and Frey procedure are safe and effective in providing good outcomes in the aspects of preservation of function and curability in benign disease or low-grade malignant potential lesion of pancreas. Organ-preserving pancreatectomy could become a new organ-preserving standard operation.
