欧芹素乙和异欧芹素乙对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外释放肿瘤坏死因子的抑制作用

研究了欧芹素乙（Ｉｍｐｅｒａｔｏｒｉｎ，Ｉｍｐ）和异欧芹素乙（Ｉｓｏ－ｉｍｐｅｒａｔｏｒｉｎ，Ｉｓｉ）及对照药物维拉帕米（Ｖｅｒａｐａｍｉｌ，Ｖｅｒ）对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外释放肿瘤坏死因子（Ｔｕｍｏｒｎｅｃｒｏｓｉｓｆａｃｔｏｒ，ＴＮＦ）的影响。结果表明：Ｉｍｐ、Ｉｓｉ及Ｖｅｒ对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外释放ＴＮＦ具有显著的抑制作用。药物浓度在１０－６～１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ范围内，该抑制作用呈剂量依赖性：药物浓度达１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时，则可完全抑制ＴＮＦ的释放。     

蟾酥注射液对小鼠S180和人结肠癌HT-29裸鼠移植性肿瘤的影响

目的研究蟾酥注射液对小鼠移植性肿瘤 S180和人结肠癌 HT-29裸鼠移植性肿瘤的抑制作用.方法分别用小鼠 S180和人结肠癌 HT-29裸鼠两种荷瘤小鼠模型,观察药物对上述肿瘤的抑瘤作用,并镜下观察后者细胞凋亡情况.结果与荷瘤阴性对照组比较,蟾酥注射液各剂量组对小鼠 S180抑瘤率( IR)为 19.1%～38.2%(P<0.05),呈量效关系;而对人结肠癌 HT-29裸鼠移植性肿瘤的 IR为 9.5%～15.8%(P>0.05),也呈量效关系,但差异均未见统计学意义;环磷酰胺则能显著抑制小鼠 S180和 HT-29细胞裸鼠移植性肿瘤的生长( IR分别为70.7%和 67.1%, P<0.01),镜检可见其有显著促进肿瘤细胞凋亡作用;未发现实验药物出现明显的毒副作用.结论该实验所用的蟾酥注射液,对小鼠 S180有抑制作用,而对人结肠癌 HT-29裸鼠移植性肿瘤,则作用不明显,表明不同类型的肿瘤对其敏感性不同.     

A case of congenital supratentorial tumor: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor or primitive neuroectodermal tumor?

Two embryonal CNS tumors, atypical teratoid/rabdoid tumor (AT/RT) and primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), may be confused with each other and misdiagnosed. Here we report an infant with a congenital supratentorial tumor, which was detected by fetal MRI at 37 weeks gestation. On routine histological examination, the tumor was composed mainly of small undifferentiated cells, among which many rhabdoid cells and occasional sickle‐shaped embracing cells were observed. No mesenchymal or epithelial areas were evident. Our impression was that the tumor was an atypical example of AT/RT. Immunohistochemically, almost all the tumor cells were strongly positive for vimentin. However, epithelial membrane antigen was notably negative, and most of the tumor cell nuclei were clearly positive for INI1. In addition, many tumor cells were positive for neurofilament protein. There were also occasional small areas containing many tumor cells positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein. Finally, a diagnosis of PNET, with a rhabdoid phenotype and expression of neuronal and glial markers, was made. In the present case, application of INI1 immunostaining was very helpful for distinguishing PNET from AT/RT.     

ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL RESECTION AND SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION METHOD FOR LARGE COLORECTAL TUMORS

The goal of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is to allow the endoscopist to obtain tissue or resect lesions not previously amenable to standard biopsy or excisional techniques and to remove malignant lesions without open surgery. In this article, we describe the results of conventional EMR and EMR using an insulation‐tipped (IT) electrosurgical knife (submucosal dissection method) for large colorectal mucosal neoplasms and discuss the problems and future prospects of these procedures. At present, conventional EMR is much more feasible than EMR using IT‐knife from the perspectives of time, money, complication, and organ preservation. However, larger lesions tend to be resected in a piecemeal fashion; and it is difficult to confirm whether EMR has been complete. For accurate histopathological assessment of the resected specimen en bloc EMR is desirable although further experience is needed to establish its safety and efficacy. Further improvements of in EMR with special knife techniques are required to simply and safely remove large colorectal neoplasms.     

少见和不典型椎管肿瘤的MRI诊断和误诊分析

目的：探讨少见和不典型椎管肿瘤MRI误诊原因，提高对该类疾病的认识。资料与方法：对16例少见和不典型椎管肿瘤进行回顾性手术病理对照分析。结果：8例实性神经鞘瘤，7例MRI误诊为脊膜瘤，1例误诊为室管膜瘤；2例神经母细胞瘤误诊为硬膜外淋巴瘤和脊膜瘤；2例海绵状血管瘤误诊为神经鞘瘤；3例血管畸形误诊为室管膜瘤、神经鞘瘤和硬膜外脓肿：1例血管球瘤误诊为硬膜外淋巴瘤。结论：在评价椎管肿瘤方面，MRI具有绝对优势，根据肿瘤的位置、信号强度和均匀度，再辅以对比剂的恰当应用，不仅对典型的肿瘤能做出正确诊断，对不典型的和少见的椎管肿瘤也可提供更多可靠的信息。     

Long-term survival after removal of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor originating in the anterior mediastinum

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs; malignant schwannomas) rarely occur in the anterior mediastinum, and their prognosis is poor. A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital for examination of an anterior mediastinal tumor. A computed tomography-guided percutaneous needle biopsy revealed only fibrosis. The tumor was completely excised via a median sternotomy with partial resection of the pericardium and right upper lobe of the lung. Thereafter, the tumor was diagnosed as a storiform-pleomorphic type of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. At 1 year after the surgery, a distant metastasis was found in the interlobular space between the right middle and lower lobes. The tumor was completely excised via a right posterolateral thoracotomy. Reexamination of the primary and secondary tumors revealed an MPNST. No recurrence was found up to 5 years after the second surgery without adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy. However, he died from multiple lung metastases after 6 years.
