人嗜铬细胞瘤细胞的原代培养及鉴定

本研究拟建立人嗜铬细胞瘤细胞的原代培养方法。采用连续分次胶原酶消化法分离培养人嗜铬细胞瘤细胞，采用细胞培养液中儿茶酚胺水平检测、多聚甲醛诱发荧光及细胞嗜铬粒蛋白A(CgA)和神经元特异性烯醇化酶(NSE)的免疫组化染色等方法进行细胞性质和功能鉴定，并用噻唑兰(MTT)法观察原代培养的人嗜铬细胞瘤细胞的生长状况。结果表明，人嗜铬细胞瘤细胞在培养3～7天时生长较快，7天后细胞开始分化。经检测细胞培养液中的儿茶酚胺浓度、多聚甲醛诱发荧光等，证明该细胞有合成和分泌儿茶酚胺的功能。并且培养的细胞CgA和NSE免疫组化染色阳性。因此，本研究成功建立了人嗜铬细胞瘤细胞的原代培养方法，并鉴定其具有嗜铬细胞瘤的分泌和表达功能，国内尚未见报告。

目的:探讨三维可视化重建技术在机器人辅助腹腔镜下巨大嗜铬细胞瘤/副节瘤切除术中的应用价值。方法:回顾性分析2019年7月—2020年1月我院收治的11例嗜铬细胞瘤/副节瘤患者的临床资料。其中男5例,女6例,中位年龄44(21~68)岁;肿瘤最大径中位值7.1(6.2~10.2)cm;病变位于右肾上腺3例,左肾上腺5例,右肾门旁腔静脉后方2例,左肾门旁1例。术前所有患者均行CT增强扫描,并采集dicom数据通过VitaWorks重建技术完成三维可视化模型。借助模型,观察肿瘤大小、受累脏器以及术中可能干涉的组织器官和血管,模拟手术路径,指定三维可视化指导的手术方案。结果:利用VitaWorks技术得到了所有肿瘤的精细、完整的三维可视化模型,结合肿瘤大小、部位指定精准手术方案。8例行机器人辅助经腹径路腹腔镜嗜铬细胞瘤切除术;2例行机器人辅助经腹径路腹腔镜副节瘤切除术;1例行机器人辅助经腹腹腔镜左肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤切除术加左肾切除术。所有手术均顺利完成,无术中转开放。结论:基于CT增强扫描检查的三维可视化重建技术在机器人辅助腹腔镜下巨大嗜铬细胞瘤/副节瘤切除术方面具有应用价值,帮助术者制订精准的个体化手术方案,减少了围手术期间并发症的发生风险,提高了手术的成功率及安全性。     

利用CT表现鉴别肾上腺隐匿型嗜铬细胞瘤和皮质腺瘤

目的探讨如何利用CT表现对肾上腺隐匿型嗜铬细胞瘤和肾上腺皮质腺瘤进行鉴别诊断。方法收集2010年1月至2020年1月期间中国医科大学附属第一医院收治的177例肾上腺肿瘤患者进行回顾性分析,对比各组患者之间的一般临床资料和CT表现。结果隐匿型嗜铬细胞瘤56例、皮质醇腺瘤32例、醛固酮腺瘤44例、无功能腺瘤45例,隐匿型嗜铬细胞瘤组在肿瘤侧别上与无功能腺瘤组差异有统计学意义,在肿瘤最大直径、平扫CT值、动脉期和延迟期增强CT值上均显著大于三组肾上腺腺瘤组。以肿瘤直径≥2.95 cm诊断隐匿型嗜铬细胞瘤,曲线下面积(AUC)为0.872,敏感度为87.5%,特异性为76.0%;当平扫CT值≥24.5 Hu时,AUC为0.929,敏感度为94.0%,特异性为82.5%;当动脉期增强CT值≥89.5 Hu时,AUC为0.886,敏感度为72.7%,特异性为90.6%;当延迟期增强CT值≥82.5 Hu时,AUC为0.937,敏感度为84.6%,特异性为95.3%;联合以上四个指标时,AUC为0.981,阈值为≥0.118,敏感度为100%,特异性为90.6%。结论以肿瘤直径2.95 cm、平扫CT值24.5 Hu、动脉期增强CT值89.5 Hu和延迟期增强CT值82.5 Hu为阈值对肾上腺隐匿型嗜铬细胞瘤有较好的鉴别诊断价值。     

Functional paraganglioma with tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava,first case report

Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare neuroendocrine that tumor originated from the adrenal medulla that secrets catecholamines. Tumors from extra-adrenal chromaffin tissues are called extra-adrenal PHEO or paraganglioma (PGL). To our knowledge, adrenal PHEO and subclinical PGL with inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion had been sporadically reported, while functional PGL with IVC tumor thrombus has not been publicly reported yet. Perioperative management of those diseases is less well established because of their multidisciplinary nature and rarity. We herein present a case of primary malignant PGL with IVC invasion. A 16-year-old female patient with a history of severe paroxysmal hypertension was admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital on suspicion of retroperitoneal mass. In-house diagnostic work-up revealed a malignant PGL with IVC invasion, inferior mesenteric artery encasement and, aorta engagement. Multi-disciplinary discussions were held and careful preoperative preparation plans were made. After everything was ready, the functional PGL and tumor thrombus were completely resected, then a reconstruction of IVC was performed. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 14 and all her clinical symptoms disappeared afterward. No evidence of tumor residual or metastasis was found in the subsequent six months of follow-up. Gene tests were made for her and her family. Albeit its rarity, functional PGL with IVC invasion is not unresectable, a multi-disciplinary task force should be established to settle down every detail. We recommended 3-dimensional imaging reconstruction for gaining a better anatomic understanding. Literature reviews showed that complete resection is the premise of a good prognosis. In particular cases, complementary or alternative therapy like chemotherapy and ¹³¹I-metaiodobenzylguanidine might help, family hereditary genetic tests are advised as well.     

Effect of Semax peptide on survival of cultured rat pheochromocytoma cells during oxidative stress

We studied the effects of Semax (antiinsulin peptide with neuroprotective effect) on the survival of cultured rat pheochromocytoma cell after oxidative stress induced by short-term incubation with hydrogen peroxide. Studies with fluorescent dyes propidium iodide and Hoechst 33258 showed that cell incubation with hydrogen peroxide led to the formation of damaged cells with characteristic signs of necrosis. Semax dose-dependently reduced the number of cells damaged by oxidative stress. The efficiency of Semax depended on the time of its addition to the culture medium. The results suggest that the neuroprotective effect of Semax in ischemic stroke can be due to its capacity to protect neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress.
