Four patients with liver carcinoma (case 1: hepatocellular carcinoma; cases 2 and 3: metastases; case 4: adenocarcinoma possibly of hepatic origin) underwent a wedge liver biopsy taken at some distance from the tumor. Liver histology was normal in cases 2 and 3. Sinusoids were dilated in case 4. Fibrosis formed bridges between portal tracts in case 1. In all 4 cases, sinusoids contained lymphocytic cells. By electron microscopy (perfusion-fixation with glutaraldehyde) numerous lymphocytes could be identified as pit cells with characteristic dense granules and occasional rod-cored vesicles. The majority of the pit cells were luminal cells in contact with endothelial or Kupffer cells; some were in the Disse space. It is now accepted that pit cells are resident large granular lymphocytes with natural killer activity. The increase in the number of pit cells in liver carcinoma compared to the number observed in the control group (uncomplicated gallbladder lithiasis) could be hypothetically interpreted as a defense mechanism against tumor extension. 相似文献

A prognostic study on 119 patients with primary liver cancer undergoing nonsurgical therapy was carried out to evaluate the relevance of hepatic functional reserve and tumor size to their cumulative survival rates. All patients were classified into the three groups of Child's classification (A, B and C) according to their hepatic functional reserve and were also divided into the five groups according to their tumor size. The cumulative survival rates of all patients at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years after the diagnosis were 50.9, 28.3, 18.8, 13.5 and 6.7%, respectively. The cumulative survival rates of group V whose tumor occupied more than 40% of the liver area were significantly lower than those of the other tumor-size-groups. The survival rates of Child's group A were significantly higher than those of group B and C. But in those patients who were classified into group V according to their tumor size, there was no significant difference in their survival rates among the three groups of Child's classification. These results suggest that hepatic functional reserve as well as tumor size is an important prognostic factor in patients with primary liver cancer. But if the cancer once develops greater than 40% of the liver area, hepatic functional reserve diminishes in value as a prognostic factor. 相似文献

IntroductionDetection of abnormalities in the KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes is extremely important for proper qualification of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients for therapy with anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) monoclonal antibodies. However, data about prevalence of mutations in these genes, in different localizations of CRC tumors, are limited.Material and methodsWe examined the frequency of mutations in the KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes in 500 Caucasian CRC patients (200 women and 300 men, median age 66 years). DNA was isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues using a Qiagen QIAamp DNA FFPE-kit. Analysis of mutations was carried out using the KRAS/BRAF, NRAS and BRAF Mutation Analysis Kit for Real-Time PCR (EntroGen) with the Cobas 480 real-time PCR apparatus (Roche Diagnostics).ResultsKRAS mutations were detected in 190 (38%) patients, NRAS mutations in 20 (4%) patients, and BRAF mutations in 24 (4.8%) patients. There were no associations between age of CRC patients and frequency of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF gene mutations. These mutations were significantly more often diagnosed in women (55.5%) than in men (41%, p < 0.005). Tumors of the rectum and sigmoideum were the most often observed in both groups of CRC patients – with and without KRAS, NRAS and BRAF gene mutations. However, transverse colon, ascending colon and cecum cancers were the most often affected by mutations.ConclusionsOur study showed that the occurrence of mutations in the KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes is not accidental and depends on the location of CRC tumors. 相似文献

A limiting factor in the efficacy of bioartificial liver (BAL) for the treatment of liver failure is the toxicity of the patients' serum to the hepatocytes in the device. This study investigates the interaction of liver cancer patient serum with primary and immortalised rat hepatocytes. Liver cancer serum increased the growth rate of immortalised hepatocytes, without affecting reduced glutathione levels. The activities of DT-diaphorase and pi glutathione-S-transferase (GST), enzymes associated with de-differentiation, were also increased. Exposure of primary hepatocytes to liver cancer serum resulted in a decrease in cytochrome P450 (CYP) content, and in P450 dependent metabolism of testosterone. Formation of 2-alpha- and 6-beta- hydroxy testosterone was decreased. These reactions are predominantly associated with CYP 2C11 and 3A1 respectively in normal rat liver. The activity of total GST was also decreased, although that of the pi isoenzyme of GST was not affected. Our results suggest that exposure of hepatocytes in a bioreactor to liver cancer patient serum will result in overgrowth of cells, if proliferating cells are being used, and in de-differentiation. The serum may have to be pretreated with adsorbants to remove toxins prior to BAL treatment. 相似文献

The involvement of the liver by malignancy, whether it be primary or metastatic, carries a grave prognosis. At this time, chemotherapy is solely palliative, and no survival advantage has been established. Resection of metastatic or primary carcinoma of the liver in a select number of patients may provide a survival advantage and an occasional cure. However, studies are difficult to control, and claims of survival benefits have been based on historical data of untreated disease prior to 1978. Currently, clinical trials are underway combining modes of therapy in the hope of increasing patient survival. Reduction of operative mortality to below five percent for liver resection is attributable to a major advance in operative technique. Other advances are improved diagnostic techniques for detection of liver metastases and selection of patients for resection. Finally, newer strategies for chemotherapy made practicable continuous infusion by implantable or external pumps, redoubling response rates to fluorodeoxyuridine (FUDR) in regional and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in systemic chemotherapy. A review of the current literature is presented along with data accumulated over the three-year experience of the Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, Florida. The case material from Moffitt Cancer Center is included to illustrate progress and limitations of combined surgical, regional, and systemic chemotherapy for primary and metastatic liver cancers. 相似文献

The ratio of prostate chips with cancer: a new measure of tumor extent and its relationship to grade and prognosis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ratio of chips with cancer to the total number of chips was studied in 118 patients with prostate cancer who underwent transurethral prostatectomy. We found that this ratio is a prognosticator closely associated to the stage of tumor (local or extensive) and to the chance of death from prostate cancer. Stage, the ratio of positive chips and the Gleason histologic score are all closely tied one to another, and it is unclear from this initial study whether these variables provide independent or additive prognostic information. Nevertheless, the ratio of positive chips shows far better interobserver agreement than does the Gleason score, and in patients with the most common predominant score of three, it can separate most of those with localized disease from most of those with extensive disease. Thus the ratio shows promise as a reliable predictor of stage of disease and of long-term failure, and hence it may help in the choice of patients for curative surgery. 相似文献

Objectives:To assess the biocompatibility of controlled release microspheres prepared from different polymeric biomaterials in various size ranges in rabbit synovial joints and based on these data, design and evaluate the efficacy of an intra-articular, paclitaxel-loaded microspheres formulation in rabbit models of arthritis.
Methods:Paclitaxel-loaded microspheres of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared in different size ranges and inflammatory responses monitored following injection into healthy rabbit joints. The efficacy of 20% paclitaxel-loaded PLA microspheres (35–105 m size range) injected intra-articularly into antigen and carrageenan induced rabbit models of arthritis was monitored.
Results:Polymeric microspheres in the 35–105 m size range were biocompatible whereas smaller microspheres (1–20 m) produced an inflammatory response. Efficacy studies showed that injection of 20% paclitaxel-loaded PLA microspheres significantly reduced all measures of inflammation in the antigen arthritis rabbit model.
Conclusions:Paclitaxel-loaded PLA microspheres in the 35–105 m size range, released paclitaxel in a controlled manner over several weeks, and may be a potential formulation for the intra-articular treatment of inflammation in arthritic conditions.Received 6 November 2003; returned for revision 12 January 2004; accepted by J.

Safety and efficacy of a monomeric, functionally intact intravenous IgG preparation in patients with primary immunodeficiency syndromes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Results of an open, phase II clinical trial on therapy with an iv IgG preparation in patients with primary antibody-deficiency syndromes are reported. Three hundred infusions of the product, an intact monomeric IgG preparation, were given to 16 patients for an average of 14 (+/- 0.7) months, the dose being 220 (+/- 26.9) mg/kg/month. Only two minor adverse reactions occurred. This preparation did not produce transient leukopenia on infusion. Preinfusion serum IgG levels increased continuously in the course of treatment (average values: 325 +/- 51 at the beginning of therapy, 438 +/- 59 at 6 months, 568 +/- 75 at 12 months, 631 +/- 52 at the end of treatment). The infusions were well accepted and well tolerated by the patients, and the clinical efficacy was highly superior to intramuscular immunoglobulin. 相似文献

Content of cell DNA and RNA was studied by method of laser flowing cytophotometry in 21 cases of pretumorous conditions and 64 tumours of mammary gland. A clear-cut difference in DNA and RNA histograms is shown in non-proliferative and proliferative forms of mastopathy, in mastopathy and infiltrating mammary gland carcinoma. Likewise, a clear-cut correlation between the degree of malignancy and a nucleic acid content in the carcinoma cells is established. 相似文献

This meta-analysis examined whether effects of psychosocial interventions on psychological distress in cancer patients are
conditional upon pre-intervention distress levels. Published articles and unpublished dissertations between 1980 and 2005
were searched for interventions reporting the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) or the Spielberger State-Trait
Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Multilevel mixed-effects modeling was used to meta-analyze effect-sizes separately for the HADS
(27 trials, 2,424 patients) and STAI (34 trials, 2,029 patients). Pre-intervention distress significantly moderated intervention
effects, explaining up to 50% of the between-study effect-size variance: effects on anxiety and depression were generally
negligible when pre-intervention distress was low and pronounced when it was high. These results could not be explained by
differences in intervention type, setting, dose, and whether intervention was targeted at distressed patients. Psychosocial
interventions may be most beneficial for cancer patients with elevated distress. Future research should identify which treatment
components are most effective for these patients to facilitate optimal treatment tailoring and cost-effective health care. 相似文献

Tumor metastasis is responsible for 90% of cancer-associated deaths and highly metastatic cancers are more prone to form metastasis foci and acquire the drug resistance. Here, a nanocarrier system (TMT-LS) has been constructed by modification of stealth liposomes with a metastatic cancer specific peptide, using the unmodified stealth liposomes (LS) as the control. The active targeted nanocarriers presented satisfactory particle size (about 100?nm) and drug release characteristics in?vitro. Highly metastatic cancer cells (MDA-MB-435S and MDA-MB-231) and non-metastatic cancer cells (MCF-7) were applied as?tumor cell models. The highly metastatic cancer cells were found to endocytose more TMT-LS in a faster?way than TS, through a receptor-mediated pathway proved by specific receptor inhibition. Co-localization technique indicated the integrity of nanocarriers in cytoplasm. The significant targeting of TMT-LS to highly metastatic tumors was demonstrated in?vivo and ex?vivo in an orthotopic model as well as in a double tumor-bearing animal model with both metastatic and non-metastatic tumors in the same mouse. Importantly, the active targeted drug delivery system was found to penetrate deeper into tumor mass and have a longer retention within the malignant tissue. Further, TMT-LS greatly facilitated the efficacy of doxorubicin loaded in terms of inhibiting xenograft tumor growth and inducing cancer cell apoptosis, with only minor side effects. Together, the specific nanocarriers hold great potential in the development of nanomedicine for diagnosis and therapy of metastatic tumor. 相似文献

The biological significance of cancer: mitochondria as a cause of cancer and the inhibition of glycolysis with citrate as a cancer treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Halabe Bucay A 《Medical hypotheses》2007,69(4):826-828
In this article, I present the hypothesis that cancer presents due to the domination of the cell by mitochondria, which, from an evolution viewpoint, appeared in multi-cellular living being with the incorporation of a bacteria into a primitive cell, the bacteria sustained itself as mitochondria and these conserved their identity and bacterial characteristics, based on this, the hypothesis is suggested of the biological competition between the cell and the mitochondria; the mitochondria, on establishing itself as an independent entity within the cell, created the need to permanently remain in the cytoplasm of the cell, thus, from an energy viewpoint, when a cell becomes malignant, the mitochondria are the sole beneficiaries, as there is an ideal environment at the cellular level for the mitochondria to sustain their functions, and from this hypothesis, the treatment for fighting cancer consists of inhibiting glycolysis, being the principal source of energy for the mitochondria, this is achieved by administering citrate to cancer patients, as the citrate inhibits the phosphofructokinase enzyme, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme of Krebs cycle, thus, the mitochondria will be forced to limit their metabolism and, secondarily, will lower the reproduction capacity of the cell in general. 相似文献
