Nerve growth factor and tyrosine kinase A in human salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma: expression patterns and effects on in vitro invasive behavior.

PURPOSE: Perineural invasion is a frequent occurrence in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and may prevent complete surgical resection. Studies have indicated that nerve growth factor (NGF) and its high-affinity receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) may play a role in perineural invasion in several malignancies in which perineural invasion is observed. The present study was conducted to investigate the expression of NGF and TrkA in salivary ACC and to examine the effects of NGF on adhesion, migration and invasion capacities of a salivary ACC cell line (SACC-83) in vitro. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Expression of NGF and TrkA was explored using immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissues of 32 cases of salivary ACC. The effects of NGF on in vitro adhesion, migration, and invasion capacities of the SACC-83 cell line were examined using an MTT assay and a modified Boyden chamber assay respectively. RESULTS: In ACC specimens, 31 (96.9%) and 32 (100%) tumors showed immunoreactivity for NGF and TrkA respectively. Significant correlations were found between NGF/TrkA expression levels and perineural invasion (P < .05). In cell adhesion assay, the percent adherences of SACC-83 cells co-cultured with 25 ng/ml NGF at 1.5 hours and 5, 25 ng/ml NGF at 6 hours were significantly higher than that co-cultured with 0 ng/ml NGF (P < .05). However, high concentration of NGF (500 ng/ml) resulted in a significant inhibition of invasion (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Overexpression of NGF and TrkA in human salivary ACC tissues may constitute a reason for perineural invasion in salivary ACC.

核素显像对小儿消化道出血的病因诊断

目的探讨核素显像对小儿消化道出血，特别是对Ｍｅｃｋｅｌ憩室、肠重复畸形的病因诊断的价值。方法对２６例腹痛、便血为主要症状的患儿行９９ｍ锝酸盐（９９ｍＴｃＯ－４）显像，其中１２例显像阴性者于检查后２４小时有活动性出血者，再行９９ｍ锝标记红细胞显像。所有病例的诊断均经手术、病理及内窥镜等检查所证实。结果９９ｍＴｃＯ－４显像诊断Ｍｅｃｋｅｌ憩室和肠重复畸形的敏感性、特异性、准确性分别为８５．７％（１２／１４）、９１．７％（１１／１２）及８８．５％（２３／２６）。结论核素显像具有无创、方法简单易行等特点，特别是对异位胃粘膜诊断具有较好的灵敏性和特异性。核素显像可作为下消化道出血病因诊断的有效方法。     

弱视儿童不同部位记录视觉诱发电位比较

目的对弱视儿童不同部位所记录的视觉诱发电位（ＶＥＰ）进行比较研究。方法分析５２只弱视眼常规视觉刺激时于Ｏ１、Ｏ２、Ｏｚ三点记录的ＶＥＰ，并以６６只健康眼的ＶＥＰ作比较。结果弱视眼三个点ＶＥＰ的异常率：Ｏｚ一个点２３％，Ｏ１、Ｏ２两点为７５％，Ｏｚ、Ｏ１和Ｏ２三个点为８１％。与正常眼比较，弱视眼此三点ＶＥＰ的潜伏期均显著延长，Ｏｚ点波幅显著降低，Ｏ１、Ｏ２点波幅则无显著差异。弱视眼的ＶＥＰＯ１和Ｏ２点潜伏期较其Ｏｚ点显著延长，波幅亦显著降低。结论对ＶＥＰ的评价，必须考虑到有无弱视和记录部位这两个因素。     

NO对兔局灶脑缺血脑水肿和脑梗塞灶的影响

本文在兔MCAO局灶脑缺血模型基础上,利用外源性一氧化氮(NO)前体物质L-精氨酸和NOS抑制剂L-NNA研究NO对脑缺血后脑水肿和脑梗塞的影响。NZW兔42只随机分为7组,每组6只,计对照组、假手术组、MCAO组、MCAO+NS组、MCAO+L-Arg组、MCAO+D-Arg组及MCAO+L-Arg+L-NNA组。结果提示:与单纯MCAO组比较,L-Arg组的脑组织H_2O、Na~+、Ca~(2+)含量明显下降(P<0.01),脑梗塞灶亦明显缩小(P<0.01)。从而显示L-Arg系通过产生NO促使血管舒张而减轻脑水肿和缩小梗塞灶,为临床改进脑缺血的治疗提供依据。     

胸部高分辨率CT检查技术的临床应用

笔者对５０例肺部疾病胸部常规ＣＴ和高分辨率ＣＴ（ＨＲＣＴ）图像进行了对照分析。其中特发性肺间质纤维化（ＩＦＰ）８例，肺转移癌５例，支气管扩张１５例，慢性阻塞性肺气肿１５例，周围型肺癌７例，结果表明：ＨＲＣＴ在ＩＦＰ、支气管扩张和肺气肿的显示明显优于常规ＣＴ（Ｐ＜０．００１），在对肺部原发或转移性肿瘤的显示能提供更多的诊断信息。笔者还讨论了ＨＲＣＴ的检查技术和图像后处理，分析了影响ＨＲＣＴ的若干因素，指出通过缩小视野（ＦＯＶ），减少象素做图像的重建放大显示肺部局部结构更为清楚方便，应灵活运用。

A preliminary study of the changes in the direct-acting mutagenicities of several nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after exposure under sunlight

Five commercially available nitropolyclyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAH), namely, 4-nitrobiphenyl, 2-nitrofluorene, 9-nitroanthracene, 1-nitropyrene, and 2,7-dinitrofluorene, were exposed under restricted sunlight in the open air. The direct-acting mutagenicities of the samples after an exposure of 45 days were measured in order to compare them with those of the original samples in the Ames Salmonella typhimurium bioassay. It was found that the mutagenicities of some nitro-PAH do not change significantly while the mutagenicities of others increase or decrease after exposure. A preliminary study of nitro-PAH reaction products after exposure using GC, GC/MS, and FT-IR is also reported.
