肝腺瘤的影像学诊断

目的探讨影像学(US、CT、MRI及DSA)诊断肝腺瘤的价值。方法回顾性分析经手术、病理证实的11例肝腺瘤的影像学表现,其中11例行US和CT检查(有1例行CT灌注成像,CTP),5例行MRI扫描,4例行DSA检查,并与手术病理所见对照。结果11例肝腺瘤均为单发肿块,无肝硬化背景,直径2.0～10.0cm。影像学表现:US检查,10例呈稍低或不均匀稍强回声,边界清晰,6例见低回声晕,彩色多普勒显示肿块内有较丰富的血流;CT检查,10例为稍低或等密度,8/10例动脉期全瘤明显强化,门脉期轻度强化,延迟期呈等密度,1例平扫和延迟期呈等密度,动脉期中度强化,门脉期轻度强化,误诊为血管瘤。1/11例CT灌注成像(CTP)检查,肝动脉灌注量(HAP)=1.08ml/(min.ml),门静脉灌注量(PVP)=0.19ml/(min.ml),肝动脉灌注指数(HPI)=0.85,各参数值与肝癌均有明显不同;MRI检查,5例肝腺瘤均能显示完整包膜,T1WI上2例稍高于肝脏信号,1例呈等信号,2例为稍低信号,T2WI上5例均表现为以稍高信号为主的混杂信号,脂肪抑制像(STIR)1例呈略低信号,4例信号与T2WI相似,行增强扫描的4例病灶动脉期显著强化,门脉期强化减退,平衡期呈等信号。DSA检查,3/4例病灶见粗细不均的异常血管影,实质期可见肿瘤染色表现。结论肝腺瘤的US和DSA表现均缺乏特异性,CT、MRI则具有一定的特点。CTP对肝腺瘤可能具有诊断和鉴别诊断价值。     

VEGF在肺癌组织中的表达及临床意义

目的：探讨血管内皮生长因子在肺癌中的表达情况与肺癌病理生物学行为之间的关系。方法：采用免疫组化SP法检测47例肺癌组织和10正常肺组织中VEGF的表达水平。结果：肺癌组织中VEGF的表达明显高于正常肺组织(P＜0．005)，P53、VEGF表达与肺癌的分化程度、淋巴结转移及P—TNM分期密切相关(P＜0．05)，与患者的性别、年龄、肿瘤大小及组织类型无关(P＞0．05)。结论：检测肺癌组织中VEGF的表达水平有助于了解肿瘤的生物学行为，并可作为判断其预后的有价值指标。

Reconstruction of upper digestive tract: reducing morbidity by laparoscopic pull-up.

BACKGROUND: Gastric pull-up is a useful method for reconstruction of the upper digestive tract, with considerable morbidity/mortality, especially in esophageal cancers (EC). OBJECTIVE: To analyze the experience of a multidisciplinary team with a laparoscopic gastric pull-up (LGPU) method, with or without thoracoscopy, in a series of 120 patients with EC. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1992 to 2004, 120 EC [cervical/cervicothoracic (3.0%), middle third (15.0%), and inferior third (82.0%)]. Most were squamous cell carcinomas (47.0%) and adenocarcinomas (34.0%). Stomach was dissected and mobilized exclusively by laparoscopy. Occasionally, laparoscopic approach was extended cranially, until connecting with cervical dissection. In other cases, dissection of thoracic esophagus was accomplished through a thoracoscopic approach. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients (68.0%) had LGPU; 39 (32.0%) needed thoracoscopy. Mortality was 5.9%. Complications were fistula (10.0%) and pneumonia (10.0%). All fistulae closed spontaneously; 89.2% of patients could swallow a normal oral diet. CONCLUSION: Low morbidity/mortality of LGPU for EC compared favorably with conventional techniques.     

Absorption rates and free radical scavenging values of vitamin C-lipid metabolites in human lymphoblastic cells.

BACKGROUND: In this study we investigated the cellular absorption rates, antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of vitamin C-lipid metabolites. The absorption was measured in a human lymphoblastic cell line using a spectrophotometric technique. MATERIAL/METHODS: Cellular vitamin C levels in the human lymphoblastic H9 cell line were measured using the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine spectrophotometric technique. Free radical scavenging activity of vitamin C-lipid metabolites was measured by the reduction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazine. Vitamin C-lipid metabolite scavenging of peroxyl radical oxygen reactive species (ORAC) was determined by fluorescence spectrophotometry. RESULTS: Compared to ascorbic acid (AA), calcium ascorbate (CaA), and calcium ascorbate-calcium threonate-dehydroascorbate (Ester-C), vitamin C-lipid metabolites (PureWay-C) were more rapidly absorbed by the H9 human T-lymphocytes. The vitamin C-lipid metabolites (PureWay-C) also reduced pesticide-induced T-lymphocyte aggregation by 84%, while calcium ascorbate-calcium threonate-dehydroascorbate (Ester-C) reduced aggregation by only 34%. The vitamin C-lipid metabolites (PureWay-C) demonstrated free radical scavenging activity of nearly 100% reduction of DPPH at 20 microg/ml and oxygen radical scavenging of over 1200 micro Trolox equivalents per gram. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate that the vitamin C-lipid metabolites (PureWay-C) are more rapidly taken-up and absorbed by cells than other forms of vitamin C, including Ester-C. This increased rate of absorption correlates with an increased protection of the T-lymphocytes from pesticide toxicities. Further, vitamin C-lipid metabolites (PureWay-C) are a potent antioxidant and have significant free radical scavenging capabilities.     

过氧化氢对不同时相HepG2细胞氧化作用的研究

背景与目的:研究过氧化氢(H2O2)对不同时相HepG2细胞作用的选择性,以进一步探讨H2O2:诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡的机制.材料与方法:以胸腺嘧啶核苷(TdR)阻断法获得不同细胞周期时相的同步化细胞,分别加入800 μmol/L的H2O2作用3 h,并检测各组细胞的丙二醛(MDA)含量、黄嘌呤氧化酶(XOD)和5'核苷酸酶(5'NT)的活性及抗羟自由基(抗·OH)和抗超氧阴离子自由基(抗O2)的活性.结果:经H2O2处理的各组MDA含量和XOD、抗·OH、抗O2活性显著高于对照组,其差异均具有统计学意义(P均＜0.01),5'NT活性低于对照组(P＜0.01).与未同步化组比较,同步化于S期和G2/M期的细胞MDA含量和XOD、5'NT、抗·OH和抗O2活性显著升高,其差异均具有统计学意义(P均＜0.01),而同步化于G1期的细胞MDA含量、XOD、5'NT和抗O2-活性显著降低,差异均具有统计学意义(P均＜0.01).结论:H2O2作用同步化HepG2细胞后,代谢产生自由基的酶活性,脂质过氧化产物含量以及抗氧化水平均表现出细胞周期特异性,这可能是过氧化氢对不同时相HepG2细胞损伤作用不同的原因.

Genetic variability in the Guahibo population from venezuela

Four communities from Guahibo of Venezuela were analyzed for the genetic variants of nine erythrocyte enzymes and five serum proteins. Of the 14 loci determined, four were monomorphic. Significant frequency differentiation among communities, was present for ESD and TF markers. In general, Guahibo allele frequencies are in the variation ranges described for South American groups. The analysis indicates a relatively higher affinity of Guahibos with other Venezuelan groups within an irregular pattern of genetic distances that are likely related to the complex demographic history of the South American groups. Genetic diversity estimates reveal a moderate degree of genetic structure between the four Guahibo communities. This intra‐tribal variability in Guahibo appears to be lower than in Venezuelan Piaroa but higher than in other Amerindians and could be attributed to a combined effect of low population size and relative isolation of communities. At a continental level, the distribution of genetic diversity is consistent with preferential population movements along the eastern and western coastal areas. Am. J. Hum.
