巨噬细胞移动抑制因子与鼻咽癌微血管生成和淋巴结转移的关系

[目的]研究巨噬细胞移动抑制因子(macrophage migration inhibitory factor,MIF)和血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)在鼻咽癌组织中的表达水平及其与肿瘤新生血管的关系,探讨细胞因子在鼻咽癌细胞侵袭转移过程中的作用.[方法]收集1999-2003年期间45例确诊未治的鼻咽原发癌活检组织标本,用LSAB免疫组化法检测鼻咽癌组织中MIF和VEGF表达,计数癌组织中新生血管热区的CD34阳性微血管密度(intratumoral microvessel density,IMD),并将各检测指标与患者的病理及临床资料相联系.[结果]鼻咽原发癌组织中,癌细胞MIF和VEGF的阳性表达率分别为78%(35/45)和71%(32/45),伴有淋巴结转移的癌组织中MIF和IMD水平均高于无淋巴结转移的癌组织,P=0.029,P=0.026,MIF阳性组的IMD计数为(35.1±13.3)/高倍视野,明显高于MIF阴性病例的(20.9±10.2)/高倍视野,P=0.003.以Schmincke型生长方式分布的癌细胞MIF表达水平(67.4%±35.2%)高于以Regaud型方式分布的癌细胞(32.9%±29.7%),P=0.007.癌细胞MIF与VEGF表达以及IMD计数均显示正相关关系,P＜0.05.但癌细胞VEGF的表达与患者性别、年龄、病理组织学分型以及临床分期无统计学显著意义.[结论]MIF在鼻咽癌细胞的淋巴结转移过程中可能具有重要的促进作用,并可能是影响肿瘤性微血管生成和癌细胞VEGF表达的重要因素.

目的在《护理学基础》教学中，运用整体护理思维，探讨课堂综合实践教学模式的实效性，以提高护生的职业素质和能力。方法随机确定实验班和对照班，对照班采取传统的实践教学模式授课，实验班采取小群体综合实践模式教学。结果实验班护生的规范操作能力、沟通能力和知识运用能力与对照班比较有显著提高。结论小群体综合实践教学模式对护生综合能力的培养具有实际意义。     

Reversal of vascular 18F-FDG uptake with plasma high-density lipoprotein elevation by atherogenic risk reduction

Vascular 18F-FDG uptake marker represents inflammation in atherosclerotic lesions, but whether inflammation can be reversed by risk-modifying interventions has not, to our knowledge, been demonstrated. In this study, we evaluated the change of vascular 18F-FDG uptake in response to lifestyle intervention on serial PET/CT scans and further assessed how the findings relate to atherogenic risk reduction. METHODS: A total of 60 healthy adults underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scans and atherogenic risk-factor assessment at baseline and again after 17.1 +/- 8.3 mo of practicing lifestyle modification. The PET/CT images were evaluated for the presence of vascular 18F-FDG lesions, and vessel-to-blood-pool 18F-FDG ratios were measured. Indices from summed ratios of positive lesions were compared and correlated to atherogenic risk factors. RESULTS: At follow-up, significant reductions in diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.05), total cholesterol (P < 0.05), and low-density lipoprotein level (P < 0.05) and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level (P < 0.0001) were demonstrated. On the initial PET/CT scan, 50 of 60 subjects showed 1 or more 18F-FDG-positive lesions (5.9 +/- 5.0/subject), leading to a total of 352 vascular sites. On follow-up, 18F-FDG-positive lesions were significantly reduced to 2.1 +/- 2.2 sites per subject (P < 0.0001) and a total of 124 sites (64.8% reduction). Follow-up 18F-FDG-positive rates were significantly reduced for the aorta and iliac arteries. In addition, significant reductions in the whole-body 18F-FDG index from 1.39 +/- 1.23 to 0.53 +/- 0.59 (P < 0.0001) and carotid 18F-FDG index from 0.08 +/- 0.16 to 0.03 +/- 0.06 (P = 0.01) were shown. The whole-body 18F-FDG index correlated with total cholesterol (P < 0.05) and HDL level (P < 0.05), and the magnitude of reduction in the 18F-FDG index closely correlated to the amount of increase in plasma HDL level (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that vascular 18F-FDG uptake is reversed in response to atherogenic risk reduction by lifestyle intervention and that the magnitude of improvement correlates to increases in plasma HDL levels. Thus, serial 18F-FDG PET/CT may be useful for monitoring improvements in the inflammatory component of atherosclerotic lesions in response to risk modification.

α-平滑肌肌动蛋白和β-肌动蛋白在瘢痕组织中的表达

目的 探讨α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)和β-肌动蛋白(β-actin)对增生性瘢痕形成的可能作用。方法 采用荧光定量PCR法检测10例增生性瘢痕和10例正常皮肤组织中α-SMA和β-actin的表达水平。结果 增生性瘢痕组织中α-SMA和β-actin表达水平均高于正常皮肤组织,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论 α-SMA和β-actin在瘢痕增生中起重要作用;由于β-actin在瘢痕组织和正常皮肤中的不恒定性,建议在瘢痕的mRNA定量研究中不作为内参照物。
