Urinary bladder carcinoma producing granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF): A case report with immunohistochemistry

A rare case of urinary bladder carcinoma with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) production was reported. In an 83-year-old female, marked neutrophilia in the peripheral blood decreased from 132,500/mm³ to 3,300/mm³ after tumour resection. The tumour was a transitional cell carcinoma. The serum G-CSF level reduced from 238 pg/ml pre-operatively to normal (60 pg/ml) after the operation. Immunohistochemical investigation of the resected tumour with monoclonal antibody specific for G-CSF revealed positive staining in the carcinoma cells, confirming G-CSF secretion.     

转人GM—CSF基因人膀胱癌细胞株的建立及体外生物学特性

经逆转录病毒载体将人GM-CSF基因导入人膀胱癌细胞株BIU-87细胞中,建立了转基因细胞株BIU/GM。经流式细胞仪行细胞DNA周期分析表明GM-CSF基因的导人及表达对BIU-87细胞的增长无影响。免疫荧光测定发现转GM-CSF基因及表达不能促进BIU-87细胞表面HLA-ABC、DR、DQ抗原的表达。转基因瘤细胞株经6000rad X射线照射灭活后,丧失增殖能力,逐步死亡,但能维持一定水平的GM-CSF分泌活性达两周以上。从而为制备灭活的转基因瘤苗提供了初步经验。     

Vesicocutaneous fistula: An unusual complication of inguinoscrotal hernia

Involvement of the urinary bladder in an inguinal hernia is common, but massive bladder hernia is rare. Most urinary bladder herniations are discovered and repaired during surgery. We report a case of large incarcerated inguino-scrotal hernia, which was reduced only to present as a scrotal abscess and vesicocutaneous fistula; an unusual complication. The patient was managed conservatively due to underlying comorbidities.     

MMP-2和Kiss-1在膀胱癌中的表达及意义

目的:研究基质金属蛋白酶2(MMP-2)和肿瘤转移抑制因子Kiss-1在膀胱癌中的表达以及与肿瘤侵袭的关系.方法:采用免疫组织化学S-P法检测40例膀胱癌和10例正常膀胱组织标本中MMP-2和Kiss-1的表达,并与临床病理参数进行比较.结果:膀胱癌MMP-2阳性率57.5%,表达与肿瘤分期、分级密切相关(P＜0.05).Kiss1阳性率为42.5%,表达随肿瘤分期、分级升高呈下降趋势.MMP-2与Kiss-1的表达无显著相关性(P＞0.05).结论:MMP-2和Kiss-1的表达水平对于评价膀胱癌的预后具有重要意义.     

外科治疗纵隔原发神经源性肿瘤的手术径路评价

目的　探讨外科治疗原发纵隔神经源性肿瘤的手术径路。方法　 1963年 3月至2 0 0 3年 9月外科治疗原发纵隔神经源性肿瘤 91例。所有病例均于术前行X线胸片检查 ,其中 65例行CT或磁共振检查。根据肿瘤的大小、部位及其是否向椎管内延伸选择不同的手术入路 ,其中胸后外侧切口 84例 ,半哈壳状切口 2例 ,高位胸后侧切口 4例 ,胸后外侧加脊柱旁切口 1例。所有病例均经病理证实并行 6个月～ 15年的术后随访。结果　本组手术切除率 97.8% ( 89/91) ,术后并发症发生率 4.4% ( 4 /91) ,无手术死亡病例。术后病理诊断良性肿瘤 79例 ( 86.8% ) ,恶性肿瘤12例 ( 13 .4% )。 1例神经纤维瘤 2年后复发经再次手术切除治愈 ;恶性肿瘤平均生存 3 8.1个月。结论　适当的手术径路是提高纵隔原发神经源性肿瘤切除率的关键。

The Hemodynamic Mechanisms of Lung Injury and Systemic Inflammatory Response Following Brain Death in the Transplant Donor

Brain-dead donors are the major source of lungs for transplantation. Brain death is characterized by two hemodynamic phases. Initially, massive sympathetic discharge results in a hypertensive crisis. This is followed by neurogenic hypotension. Up-regulation of pro-inflammatory mediators occurs in all organs and lung injury develops; this can adversely affect graft function post-transplantation. The mechanisms of the systemic and lung inflammation are unknown. We hypothesized that the hemodynamic changes are responsible for these inflammatory phenomena. Brain death was induced by intra-cranial balloon inflation in rats. This resulted in hypertensive crisis, followed by hypotension. There was a significant increase in blood neutrophil CD11b/CD18 expression and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage, compared with control animals. Rupture of the capillary-alveolar membrane was demonstrated by electron microscopy. Elimination of the hypertensive response by α-adrenergic antagonist pre-treatment prevented inflammatory lung injury, reduced the systemic inflammatory markers and preserved capillary-alveolar membrane integrity. Correction of the neurogenic hypotension with noradrenaline ameliorated the systemic inflammatory response and improved oxygenation. We conclude that the sympathetic discharge triggers systemic and lung inflammation, which can be further enhanced by neurogenic hypotension. Management of the brain-dead donor with early anti-inflammatory treatment and vasoconstrictors is warranted.
