Initial treatment of the early stages (I, II) of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma: partial laryngectomy versus radiotherapy

The purpose of this study was to define the treatment of choice (partial laryngectomy vs radiotherapy) in the early stage of supraglottic squamous cell cancer (ESSC). One hundred and fifteen patients with ESSC were treated with either partial laryngectomy (25 patients) or with radiotherapy(90 patients) between January 1984 and December 1996. All patients had a follow-up of over ¶29 months. Radiotherapy (RT) had a local control rate of 79%, which increased to 90% with salvage surgery, and a high larynx preservation rate (83%). Partial laryngectomy (PL) offered a better initial local control rate of 84%, which increased to 88% with salvage surgery, and functional results were also good (80%). No statistically significant differences were found between RT and PL. RT was less costly, showed better suitability for treatment, produced moderate morbidity and sequelae, and local recurrence was easier to rescue. However, it is a once-only application technique. PL showed higher immediate postoperative morbidity, higher cost and lower suitability for treatment but had fewer sequelae, offered the best initial local control and is multi-applicable. No clear oncological arguments were found in our series to define whether PL or RT is the treatment of choice for ESSC. Both are effective therapies. Secondary factors such as suitability for treatment, morbidity, cost and applicability should be individually evaluated when choosing the type of treatment. As the laser endoscopic approach decreases morbidity and costs and makes the condition more suitable for treatment, it could be the treatment of choice for ESSC, in cases where local tumoral extent and larynx exposure allow radical excision.     

Polymorphism of ACE gene and its relationship with serum ACE activity in the Hans in Chengdu region]

This study was aimed at the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism distribution in Chinese and its relationship with serum ACE activity(SACE). SACE activity and ACE gene polymorphism in 90 healthy persons in Chengdu region were investigated using a spectrophotometric assay and the PCR technique, respectively. The results showed that, in the Hans, DD genotype of ACE gene was 18%, DI genotype 44%, and II genotype 38%. Allele frequencies were 0.40 for the D allele and 0.60 for the I allele. There were significant relationships between ACE I/D polymorphism and SACE activity. The results suggest that ACE genotype distribution be different between races, that II genotype and I allele be more frequent in Chinese, and that SACE activity be under the influence of a genetic polymorphism of ACE in Chinese.     

Study on sensitivity of neuroglioma to chemotherapeutic drugs]

In this study, the chemosensitivity of 36 cases' fresh neuroglioma specimens was examined in vitro with MTT assay. The separation method for single tumor cell, the number of planting of cells, and the dosage and acting time of drugs, which have effects on the results of MTT assay, were studied systematically. On the basis of this experiment, we established a screening method for the chemosensitivity of neuroglioma; it is accurate, rapid, and simple. At the same time, the results showed that neuroglioma was more sensitive to the chemotherapeutic drugs Vm26, DDP and MMC, and the sensitivity varied with not only the drugs but also the individuals.     

Treatment of neurofibromatosis with Chinese herbal drugs.

Neurofibromatosis is a dominantly inheriteddefect of the ectoderm,characterized by cafe au laitspots since the childhood and multiple tumorsderived from elements of peripheral and cranialnerves.Hernia-like tumors of various sizes can oftenbe felt under the skin and serve as a valuablecharacteristic in making diagnosis.However,theycan also affect brain,vegetative nerve system or othertissues and lead to bony abnormalities,mentaldisturbances and sometimes,endocrine abnormalities,

2型糖尿病及其血管并发症患者血清ACE活性的变化

This investigation was made with reference to the changes of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) activity in type 2 diabetes and its vascular complications. SACE activity was studied in 127 type 2 diabetic patients and 90 healthy persons by using a spectrophotometric assay. The results showed SACE activity was obviously higher in diabetic patients (459.51 +/- 175.85 U) than in healthy persons (321.14 +/- 121.27 U); SACE activity was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (548.27 +/- 166.60 U) than in patients without diabetic nephropathy (383.2 +/- 139.00 U), but there was no difference between patients with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria; no statistical difference was detected in SACE activity between diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy (465.64 +/- 178.93 U) and without retinopathy (449.07 +/- 170.04 U); SACE activity was not associated with the course of diabetes, blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose. These data suggest that raised SACE activity might only play a role in the initiation of type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, but not relate to the progress of diabetic nephropathy, the onset of diabetic retinopathy and hypertension.     

固定化葡萄糖氧化酶流动注射化学发光法测定血糖

Luminol-hemin system was used for chemiluminescent flow-injection analysis with immobilized glucoxidase(GOD) column to determine blood glucose. The method is fast, simple and sensitive. Blood samples were diluted to 1:1000 and pumped into the flow-injection analyzer for direct detection. The sampling frequency was 30 samples/h, with a detection limit of 7.2 x 10(-9) mol/L(1.30 micrograms/L). A column packed with 36 milligrams of CPG could be used nearly 200 times. The determination results of glucose in serum by this method were in good agreement with those obtained by the routine GOD spectrophotometric method (correlation coefficient r = 0.90, P > 0.05). Recoveries of this method were 94.0%-107.2%.     

Changes of type I collagen in the lungs of rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension]

The changes of type I collagen in the lung tissues of rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) and its relationship to the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) were investigated. The blood dynamic indexes of pulmonary circulation were measured by using Swan-Ganz. The distribution of type I collagen in pulmonary arteries, bronchi and plumonary interstitial was observed by using streptavidin peroxidase method (SP). The morphologic changes of small pulmonary arteries and the level of type I collagen were determined by image pattern analysis technique and gray scale scanning, respectively. The results showed, compared with the controls, mPAP of the hypoxic rats elevated (from 2.12 +/- 0.25 to 3.95 +/- 0.43 kPa, P < 0.01), their small pulmonary arteries, walls thickened (MT% from 16.35 +/- 2.64 to 35.83 +/- 3.55, MA% from 26.83 +/- 3.40 to 59.68 +/- 4.90, P < 0.01) and lumen narrowed. The distribution of type I collagen was mainly in the external layer of pulmonary arterial walls; the positive degrees of gray scale scanning increased and had a positive linear relationship to the mPAP and MT%. These findings suggest that the increase of type I collagen contents in pulmonary arteries is closely related to the development of HPH.     

Inhibition of the activation and collagen production of cultured rat hepatic stellate cells by antisense oligonucleotides against transforming growth factor-beta 1 is enhanced by cationic liposome delivery]

In order to investigate the inhibition of the activation and collagen production of cultured rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC) by antisense oligonucleotides (ASON) against TGF beta 1 after cationic liposome (lipofectin) delivery, the authors synthesized a 20-mer phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide of TGF beta 1 mRNA, and its sense of missense oligonucleotides, and then treated the HSC with cationic liposome/oligonucleotide complexes respectively. The cellular uptake of 32P-labelled oligonucleotides was determined by liquid scintillation counting, and HSC activation was assessed by the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin(alpha-SMA). The cellular uptake of lipofectin/32P-ASON complex was approximately five-fold higher than that of 32P-ASON alone. Cationic liposome (lipofectin) delivery significantly increased the inhibition of HSCs activation by ASON, while compared with the use of naked TGF beta 1 ASON at the same concentration (at a final concentration of 1 mumol/L, P < 0.05). However, these effects were not observed in lipofectin alone, liposome/sense or missense oligos complexes at the same concentration. The oligonucleotide or lipofectin/oligos complexes had no cytotoxicity to rat HSCs in culture. These findings suggest that cationic liposome is an effective vehicle to improve the delivery of ASON to rat HSCs in culture, and the cationic liposome/TGF beta 1 ASON complex may be useful for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis.
