保留肾单位手术治疗早期小肾癌21例临床分析

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effects of nephron-sparing surgery in patients with early-stage small renal cell carcinoma. METHODS: Nephron-sparing surgery was performed in 21 patients with renal cell carcinoma including 1 with solitary kidney, 3 with unilateral tumor and contralateral renal compromise, and 17 with unilateral tumor and normal contralateral kidney. The diameter of the tumors ranged from 1.5 to 6.0 cm, with a mean of 2.8 cm. The tumor diameter in 17 patients with normal contralateral kidney was less than 4 cm (mean 2.5 cm) and the average diameter in 4 patients with contralateral renal compromise was 4.2 cm. Sixteen cases were in stage T(1), 4 in stage T(2), and 1 in stage T(3). Of the 21 patients, 4 underwent tumor enucleation, 10 polar nephrectomy and 7 wedge resection. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for an average of 40.8 months (7 to 66 months). One patient suffered a right lung and mediastinum metastasis 3 years after the surgery later and 1 with chronic glomerulonephritis required dialysis 27 months after the operation. No surgical complication or local recurrence were found in other patients. CONCLUSION: As a safe and effective therapy for early-stage small renal cell carcinoma, nephron-sparing surgery can be considered as the gold-standard therapy for patients with lesions less than 4 cm in T(1) and T(2) stages of localized unilateral tumor with normal contralateral kidney.     

Lipid extract from completely sporoderm‐broken germinating Ganoderma sinensis spores elicits potent antitumor immune responses in human macrophages

Ganoderma sinensis has been used widely in Oriental countries for the prevention and treatment of various diseases including cancer. Previous studies have shown that the lipid extract from Ganoderma exhibits direct cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Here, it is reported that the lipid extract from germinating G. sinensis spores, at lower concentrations that have no direct tumoricidal activity, induce potent antitumor immune responses in human monocytes/macrophages. Upon stimulation with the lipid extract, monocytes/macrophages exhibited markedly increased production of proinflammatory cytokines and surface expression of costimulatory molecules. Conditioned medium from stimulated cells effectively suppressed the growth of tumor cells. Apparently, the lipid extract triggered macrophage activation via a mechanism different from that associated with LPS. Moreover, it was observed that the lipid extract could partially re‐establish the antitumor activity of the immunosuppressive tumor‐associated macrophages. These results indicated that in addition to its direct tumoricidal activity, the lipid extract from G. sinensis spores could exert antitumor activity by stimulating the activation of human monocytes/macrophages.

Patterns of membrane potentials and distributions of the medullary respiratory neurons in the decerebrate rat

We analyzed the membrane potential of 161 respiratory neurons in the medulla of decerebrate rats which were paralyzed and ventilated. Three types of inspiratory (I) neurons were observed: those displaying progressive depolarization in inspiration (augmenting I neurons), those which gradually repolarized after maximal depolarization at the onset of inspiration (decrementing I neurons) and those exhibiting a plateau or bell-shaped membrane potential trajectory throughout inspiration (I-all neurons). Three types of expiratory (E) neurons were also encountered: those in which the membrane potential progressively depolarized (augmenting E neurons), those in which the membrane potential repolarized during the interval between phrenic bursts (decrementing E or post-I neurons) and those exhibiting a plateau or bell-shaped membrane potential trajectory throughout expiration (E-all neurons). Axonal projections of these medullary neurons were identified in the cranial nerves (n = 34), or in the spinal cord (n = 19) as revealed by antidromic stimulation and/or by reconstruction following horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeling. The other 108 neurons were not antidromically activated (NAA) by the stimulations tested, or had their axons terminating inside the medulla as revealed by HRP labeling. All these respiratory neurons, except for 3 which were hypoglossal motoneurons, had their somata within the ventrolateral medulla, in the region of the nucleus ambiguus, homologous to the ventral respiratory group (VRG) of the cat. No dorsal respiratory group (DRG) was detected within the medulla of the rats. Due to this absence of a DRG, it is concluded that the neural organization of respiratory centers is quite different in cats and rats.     

原位杂交法检测BP1基因在乳腺癌组织中表达

目的探讨BP1同源盒基因在乳腺癌中的表达及其与临床病理指标的关系。方法收集165例乳腺癌临床和病理资料,采用原位杂交法检测BP1的表达,同时用二步法进行ER、p53、PCNA、bcl2、cerbB2免疫组化染色。结果BP1基因表达率为67.88%,免疫组化:ER70.30%、p5349.09%、PCNA74.55%、bcl253.33%、cerbB275.52%。BP1与bcl2具有相关性(P<0.01),且均与ER相关(P<0.05),与p53呈负相关(P<0.05)。BP1与PCNA、cerbB2、患者年龄、组织学类型、淋巴结转移等无相关性。结论BP1可能通过某种非依赖p53基因调控机制,与bcl2、ER协同抑制肿瘤细胞的凋亡而参与乳腺癌的发生。     

Premercapturic acid metabolites of bromobenzene derived via its 2,3- and 3,4-oxide metabolites

1. A new premercapturic acid metabolite of bromobenzene was isolated from the urine of beta-naphthoflavone-induced rats; using 1H-n.m.r., FAB mass spectrometry and chemical degradation it was identified as S-(2-hydroxy-3-bromocyclohexa-3,5-dienyl)-N-acetylcysteine. 2. Two regioisomeric premercapturic acids apparently derived from bromobenzene-3,4-oxide were isolated as an inseparable 1:1 mixture from the urine of phenobarbital-induced rats and characterized by similar means. 3. Acid dehydration of bromobenzene 3,4- and 4,3-premercapturic acids (mixture) afforded only p-bromophenylmercapturic acid, whereas acid dehydration of 3,2-premercapturic acid gave both o- and m-bromophenylmercapturic acids. This implies a shift of sulphur in acid dehydration of the 3,4- and 3,2- but not the 4,3-premercapturic acids. 4. Base dehydration of the 3,4- and 4,3-premercapturic acid mixture gave a mixture of p- and m-bromophenylmercapturic acids, whereas base dehydration of the 3,2-premercapturic acid gave only m-bromophenylmercapturic acid. This indicates these premercapturic acids dehydrate by direct elimination without rearrangment. 5. The 3,2-premercapturic acid was detected only in the urine of BNF-induced animals, whereas the 3,4- and 4,3-premercapturic acids were detected in the urines of untreated as well as PB- and BNF-induced animals. 6. Together with earlier reports of the isolation of the 2,3-dihydrodiol, the isolation of the 3,2-premercapturic acid as a urinary metabolite of bromobenzene implies that bromobenzene-2,3-oxide is a discrete metabolite of bromobenzene and not merely a hypothetical intermediate.

Intraprostatic chemotherapy: distribution and transport mechanisms.

PURPOSE: The present study evaluated the tissue distribution and targeting advantage of intraprostatic chemotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We studied the delivery and spatial distribution of a fluorescent drug, doxorubicin, in the prostate of beagle dogs, after intraprostatic or i.v. administration. Drug concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography and confocal fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS: I.v. and intraprostatic injections yielded qualitatively and quantitatively different doxorubicin distribution in the prostate. A relatively homogeneous distribution was found after i.v. administration, whereas intraprostatic injection yielded a highly heterogeneous distribution with >10-fold higher concentrations localized in a cone-shaped glandular lobule bound by fibromuscular stroma, compared with other parts of the prostate. Compared with i.v. injection, intraprostatic injection yielded, on average, approximately 100-fold higher tissue-to-plasma concentration ratio, ranging from 963-fold near the injection site to 19-fold in the contralateral half of the prostate. The drug distribution within the prostate further suggests an important role for acinar flow in intraprostatic drug transport. CONCLUSIONS: Intraprostatic administration represents a viable option to deliver high drug concentrations within the prostate. The results further suggest the fibromuscular stroma separating the prostatic lobules as a major barrier to drug transport and convective flow as an important drug transport mechanism in the prostate.
