前哨淋巴结活检术应用于外阴癌的初步研究

目的 探讨前哨淋巴结活检术(SLNB)应用于外阴癌的可行性.方法 选择2004年10月-2008年4月间于中国医学科学院肿瘤医院接受手术治疗、术中采用SLNB的外阴癌患者21例,其中处于研究前期(即2005年5月前)的11例患者采用染料法识别前哨淋巴结(SLN)、处于研究后期的10例患者采用核素-染料联合法识别SLN,术后行常规病理检查.以病理检查结果为金标准,观察SLNB的检测效果;并观察与SLNB相关的并发症的发生情况.结果 21例患者中,20例(95%)检出SLN,其中8例为单侧腹股沟、12例为双侧腹股沟.20例SLN阳性患者共检出83枚SLN,每例患者平均检出4.2枚(1～9枚),每侧腹股沟平均2.6枚(1～6枚).其中,染料法每例患者平均检出4.4枚、每侧腹股沟平均2.5枚,核素-染料联合法每例患者平均检出3.9枚、每侧腹股沟平均2.7枚,分别比较,差异均无统计学意义(t=0.459,P=0.652;t=-0.421,P=0.717).20例SLN阳性患者腹股沟浅组淋巴结中均检出SLN,其中1例双侧腹股沟深组淋巴结中也检出SLN.20例SLN阳性的患者中,8例(10侧腹股沟)术后病理检查显示腹股沟淋巴结转移,其中7例患者(9侧腹股沟)的转移淋巴结中均包括有SLN、1例(1侧腹股沟)出现假阴性.以SLN识别预测同侧腹股沟淋巴结转移的假阴性率为10%(1/10),阴性预测值为96%(22/23).未发现与SLNB相关的损伤及不良反应.结论 SLNB应用于外阴癌安全、可行,以SLN预测同侧腹股沟淋巴结转移具有较高准确性.     

Inhibition on Telomerase Activity and Cytotoxic Effects by Cisplatin in Cultured Human Choroidal Melanoma Cells

Purpose: To study the changes of telomerase activity and cytotoxic effects by Cisplatin; cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (CDDP) in cultured human choroidal melanoma. Material and Methods: The primary cultured human choroidal melanoma cells were cultured in the presence and absence of CDDP with different concentration and time respectively. The toxic effects were evaluated by MTT and the level of telormarse was detected by PCR-ELISA assay. And the relationship between telomerase activity and cytotoxic effects were analyzed by a correlation analysis.Results: Following the increase of the concentration and the time of CDDP, gradually repressed telomerase activity was detected in cultured cells. Meanwhile, the restrain rate of the cells increased. The telomerase activity at 24h and 1μg/ml was repressed significantly compared with the control cells. However, the appearance of cell death lagged behind the decreasing of telomerase.Conclusions: CDDP is an effective telomerase inhibitor in cultured choroidal melan     

Early ocular hypertension after cataract extraction

The intraocular pressure (IOP) course during the first postoperative month was measured with Goldmann applanation tonometry in 93 eyes. The patients include 30 eyes of intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE), 32 eyes of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and 31 eyes of ECCE combined with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) implantation. The preoperative average IOP was 13.30 +/- 3.24 mmHg in 93 eyes. The first day after cataract extraction was 25.33 +/- 8.18 mmHg and 59 eyes (63.44%) had an IOP higher than 23 mmHg. On the second day it was 16.03 +/- 7.54 mmHg. On the third day it was 14.69 +/- 5.45 mmHg. On the seventh day it was 13.32 +/- 3.44 mmHg and only 2 eyes (2.14%) IOP was higher than 23 mmHg. The first postoperative month average IOP was 12.93 +/- 1.31 mmHg and it was above 23 mmHg in only one eye. When compared with preoperation a significant increase in IOP was found postoperatively. But on the seventh day and after the first month there was no significant difference (P greater than 0.05). The IOP rise among ICCE group, ECCE group and PC-IOL group did not differ significantly.     

Gemfibrozil in the treatment of hyperlipidemia

An elevated serum cholesterol level is a well known major risk factor for developing atherosclerosis in general, and for coronary heart disease in particular. There are many lipid lowering agents currently available. We used gemfibrozil in twenty hyperlipidemic cases who failed to response to diet control for three months. They were thirteen males and seven females with their ages ranging from thirty to eighty-one year-old. They included ten diabetes, one nephrotic syndrome and nine pure hyperlipidemic patients. All cases received gemfibrozil 600mg twice daily for 4-12 weeks. Gemfibrozil caused an increase in HDL cholesterol. The reductions in serum level of total cholesterol, total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride were found. Only one case developed mild gastrointestinal side effect. There was no other major side effects.     

Effect of transplanted osteogenic sarcoma on urinary RNA catabolites

The usefulness of urinary RNA catabolites as markers for the early detection of a transplantable rat tumor and for the completeness of its resection was evaluated. The lack of correlation between tumor growth or size and the time of appearance of the elevated catabolites precludes their use for the early detection of cancer in this model. Complete removal of the tumor restored the elevated levels to normal but, if regrowth occurred, the elevated levels persisted, suggesting their possible use in monitoring the effectiveness of surgery. The data suggest that increased excretion of RNA catabolites is derived primarily from host tissue.
