喉部CT仿真内窥镜成像技术的探讨

目的：探讨喉部CT仿真内窥镜(CT virtual endoscopy，CTVE)的成像质量及其影响因素。方法：对84例喉部螺旋CT扫描者行CTVE成像，根据喉腔内部结构、病灶、黏膜皱襞的显示情况和有无伪影将CTVE图像分为3级，分别比较CTVE技术在不同的扫描层厚、重建层厚及阈值的情况下图像质量的优劣。结果：CT原始扫描层厚为2mm、3mm分别与5mm、8mm的CTVE图像质量相比较，有显著性差异(P＜0．05)；重建层厚为2mm、3mm与5mm相比较，均有显著性差异(P＜0．05)；阈值为 -800— -600HU与阈值为-300HU相比较，有显著性差异(P＜0．05)。结论：不同的CT原始扫描层厚、重建层厚及阈值对CTVE图像的质量影响有明显差异。选用合适的原始扫描参数及重建参数，可以提高CTVE图像的质量，对喉部疾病的诊断很有帮助。     

Type 1 protein tyrosine kinases in benign and malignant breast lesions

Aims : To determine their significance, we examined the expression pattern of the four epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family members as well as the phosphotyrosine kinase activity in breast tumour tissues.  

Methods and results

Fifty-three malignant breast tumours, four breast cancer cell lines, and 10 benign breast tumours were investigated. Fifty-three per cent (28/53) of the malignant tumours expressed EGFR protein, and the majority of these positive tumours were strongly positive. Eighty per cent (8/10) of the benign tumours also expressed EGFR protein, but all in a lower or moderate level. An association between EGFR expression and increasing malignancy grade was found in the group of infiltrating ductal carcinomas. Of the malignant tumours, 35.8% (19/53) expressed c-erbB-2 protein and 17% (9/53) c-erbB-3 protein, while no expression of c-erbB-2 and c-erbB-3 proteins was found in the benign tumours. Contrary to previous reports, we observed c-erbB-4 receptor protein to be less expressed in the malignant breast tumours. The 'normal' breast epithelial cells adjacent to the malignant tumours and the benign tumours demonstrated intensified membrane staining for c-erbB-4, while a number of the malignant tumours demonstrated a weak cytoplasmic staining or were negative. However, several malignant tumours with strong membrane staining for the c-erbB-4 protein were also found. No simple association between the expression of the four receptors and phosphotyrosine kinase activity was found.  

Conclusion

Our study has revealed a complex expression pattern of the EGFR family members in breast tumour cells. While the data about EGFR, c-erbB-2, c-erbB-3 and phosphotyrosine are largely in line with what has been reported, we found the c-erbB-4 protein expression to be decreased in the malignant tumours.     

CD44+/CD24-细胞在乳腺癌组织及细胞系中的数量与分布

Objective To study the distribution and quantity of CD44VCD24- cells in breast cancer tissue and the cell lines,and as well as its correlation with the expression of various breast cancer markers and molecular subtyping of breast carcinoma.Methods The expression of CD44 / CD24,estrogen receptor,progesterone receptor,HER2,human estrogen-induced protein PS2,bcl-2 and nm23 in 60 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma of breast were studied by either single or double immunohistochemical staining.The co-expression of CD44 and CD24 in 3 breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7,MDA-MB-468,and MDA-MB- 231) was also examined.Results The quantity and distribution of CD44 + /CD24- cells varied greatly and no specific patterns were identified.The percentage of CD44 + /CD24- in breast cancer was 65%.The amount of CD44+/CD24- cells did not correlate with the age of patients,lymph node metastasis,tumor　 size,molecular subtypes and expression of various breast cancer markers in breast carcinoma.The proportion of CD44+/CD24- cells in MCF-7,MDA-MB-468,and MDA-MB-231 cell lines was < 1%,5% and > 80% ,respectively.Conclusions CD44+ /CD24- cells are demonstrated in certain breast cancer tissues and cell lines.However,there is no relationship obtained between the quantity or the distribution of these cells and the molecular subtyping or the clinicopathologic parameters in breast cancer.     

Apolipoprotein B-100 gene Xba I polymorphism and cholesterol gallstone disease

The apolipoprotein (apo) B gene Xba I polymorphism is associated with alterations in serum lipids. Disturbances in serum lipids may be a risk factor for cholesterol gallstone disease. However, the relation between the Xba I polymorphism and cholesterol gallstones is unknown. This study was aimed at characterizing the polymorphism of the apo B gene Xba I in patients with gallbladder stones and the association of Xba I polymorphism with serum lipids. Xba I genotypes were measured by PCR-RFLP, and serum lipids assayed in 190 patients with gallbladder stones and 441 control subjects. The frequency of the X+/- genotype (20.63 vs. 7.94%) and X+ allele (10.79 vs. 3.97%) was significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group. Patients with the X+/- genotype had a significantly higher concentration of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and apo B in serum than patients with the X-/- genotype. The X+ allele of the apo B gene is characterized by a higher cholesterol concentration and a higher LDL-cholesterol concentration in serum, and it may be a marker for increased risk of cholesterol gallstone disease.
