TECHNIQUES AND PITFALLS OF ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION FOR COLORECTAL TUMORS

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal tumors is steadily being developed. Safety and standardization of ESD for colorectal tumors have not been yet established because of the technical difficulties and the unsuitable anatomical characteristics of the colon and rectum. The authors mainly use a Flex knife for mucosal incision and a Hook knife for submucosal dissection to perform ESD safely. Skillful colonoscopic control, selection of scope, distal attachment tip hood, adequate high‐frequency generator and correct approach strategy should all be considered for safe performance of ESD. However, the incidence of indicative lesions is rare because the majority of colorectal tumors are adenomatous large laterally spreading tumors, which can be cured by intentional endoscopic piecemeal resection. At present, ESD for colorectal tumors should be performed only at central facilities that have expert colonoscopists. With the development of new devices and associated techniques, technical standardization of ESD for colorectal tumors is expected in the near future.

肿瘤干细胞与肝癌干细胞

肿瘤起源于干细胞的假说正在各种人类肿瘤中得到证实,肿瘤不单是一种基因病,而且是一种干细胞病,基因突变作用于干细胞,干细胞突变成为肿瘤干细胞,这是肿瘤发生、再生、转移和复发的关键。肝细胞癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,其中是否存在“肝癌干细胞”的问题一直倍受人们关注。该文介绍肿瘤干细胞与肝癌干细胞的研究情况。

In Vivo Anergized T Cells Form Altered Immunological Synapses In Vitro

T cells contact allogeneic antigen presenting cells (APCs) and assemble, at their contact interface, a molecular platform called the immunological synapse. Synapse-based molecules provide directional signals for the T cell--either positive signals, resulting in T-cell activation, or negative signals causing T-cell inactivation or anergy. To better understand the molecular basis of in vivo T-cell anergy we analyzed the contacts made between in vivo anergized T cells and APCs, and determined which signaling molecules were included or excluded from their immunological synapses. Anergy was induced in TCR transgenic mice by the intravenous injection of semiallogeneic donor spleen cells. T cells from anergized mice were mixed with APCs, the T-cell/APC synapses imaged using deconvolution microscopy, and their molecular compositions were determined. T cells from anergic mice formed unstable immunological synapses in vitro with allogeneic APCs and failed to recruit the signaling proteins necessary to initiate T-cell activation. These findings suggest that T-cell anergy induced by exposure to semiallogeneic donor cells is associated with defects in the earliest events of T-cell activation, immunological synapse formation and recruitment of TCR-mediated signaling proteins.
