Laparoscopic enucleation of a renal cell carcinoma

The purpose of this study was to report on the feasibility of laparoscopic excision of renal cell carcinoma. An 81-year-old female with renovascular disease underwent a laparoscopic excisional operation for a 2-cm tumor localized in the left kidney.Pathological evaluation showed a low-grade tumor without any extension through the renal capsule (grade I Hand Broder, stage I Robson). The postoperative course was uneventful; there was minimal postoperative pain. The patient was discharged home on the sixth day. Laparoscopic excision would appear to be a safe and effective technique in selected cases.     

Loss of constitutional heterozygosity in human astrocytomas

Summary Inactivation of tumour suppressor genes or anti-oncogenes as well as activation of dominant acting oncogenes seem to be important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of gliomas. We compared constitutional and tumoural genotypes at different restriction fragment length polymorphism loci (RFLP) on chromosomes 10 and 17 in 15 unrelated individualsLoss of heterozygosity (LOH) pointing to chromosomal loss or deletions was detected for at least one chromosme 17 marker in 11 gliomas (astrocytomas grades I–III and glioblastoma multiforme), whereas LOH for chromosome 10 loci was only detected in 3 out of 9 cases of glioblastoma multiforme and was not detected in low grade gliomas. Since LOH for chromosome 10 loci seems to be restricted only to glioblastoma multiforme, it is possible that recessive mutations on chromosome 10 are engaged in tumour progression from astrocytomas to glioblastoma multiforme. As LOH of chromosome 17 markers occurs in astrocytomas as in glioblastoma multiforme, chromosome 17 loci probably are involved in early tumour development.     

重组人肿瘤坏死因子诱导HL－60白血病细胞分化及调控原癌基因表达的作用

采用２０～２００Ｕ／ｍｌ的重组人肿瘤坏死因子（ｒｈＴＮＦ－α）处理体外液相培养的人早幼粒白血病细胞珠ＨＬ－６０，观察到５０～２００Ｕ／ｍｌ的小剂量ＴＮＦ具有诱导其向单核－巨噬细胞途径分化及抑制其增殖的效应。采用细胞总ＲＮＡ打点杂交技术检测１～１００Ｕ／ｍｌＴＮＦ诱导ＨＬ－６０细胞早期（１２小时内）对其ｃ－ｍｙｃ，ｃ－ｆｏｓ原癌基因表达的影响，发现ＴＮＦ可抑制ｃ－ｍｙｃｍＲＮＡ水平及ｃ－ｆｏｓ短暂性表达增高。结果表明此小剂量ｒｈＴＮＦ－α具有诱导白血病细胞分化的效应及调控多癌基因表达的作用。     

Profile of cytokine production in mixed kidney lymphocyte culture

Abstract Kidney cells are an important source of immunoregulatory molecules that regulate cell-to-cell interactions, which is the key step in the generation of the immunoresponse to alloantigens. In this study we identified the cytokines that are produced by both lymphoid cells and kidney cells when coincubated in mixed kidney lymphocyte cultures (MKLC). The capacity of kidney cells to stimulate the proliferation of effector allogeneic lymphocytes was assayed by incubating irradiated kidney cells and lymphocyte. The cytokine secretion profile in MKLC was investigated by incubating monolayers of kidney cells with effector peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The culture supernatants were harvested on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 and assayed for IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, and TNF alpha using an ELISA. Kidney cells, in comparison to PBMC stimulator cells were poor stimulators of the allo-proliferation even when HLA expression was increased by IFN gamma treatment. Compared to lymphocyte or kidney cells incubated alone, MKLC induced a considerable stimulation of cytokine production. This increase in cytokine production was observed essentially for IL-2 and IL-6 (at day 3, a 10-fold increase in IL-2 and a 5-fold increase in IL-6). This study provided evidence that target kidney cells and effector lymphocyte interactions generate a number of cytokines such as IL-11, IL-2, IL-6, or TNF alpha. These cytokines are known to modulate alloproliferation and generation of cytotoxic J lymphocytes (CTL).     

Association Between Waiting Times for Kidney Transplantation and Rates of Live Donation

A deceased donor (DD) allocation system incorporating net life survival benefit has been proposed. In this system, many kidneys will be shifted to younger recipients, thereby decreasing their waiting times. The goal of this study was to determine the potential effects of altering waiting times on the likelihood of live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). We analyzed 93,727 waiting list candidates to determine the association of various patient factors with likelihood of LDKT. The proportion of patients receiving LDKT was compared by the median DD waiting time at that patient's transplant center for someone of that patient's age category and race. LDKT was consistently higher as waiting times became longer. After adjusting for all other factors associated with likelihood of LDKT, waiting time remained a significant, independent predictor. Patients with the longest DD waiting times had 2.3-fold higher odds of LDKT (95% CI 2.11-2.58, p < 0.001). In planning the new DD allocation policy, we must account for resulting alterations in LDKT. It is possible that shifting DD kidneys to younger recipients may decrease LDKT or shift it to older recipients, net effects not consistent with the goal of net life survival benefit.     

全肝MR灌注成像早期监测肝VX2肿瘤经皮酒精注射疗效的实验研究

目的研究全肝MR灌注成像（MRPI）早期监视兔肝VX2瘤经皮酒精注射（PEI）疗效的价值。方法新西兰大白兔10只，经开腹手术于肝内注射VX2肿瘤细胞悬液0．1ml，分别在种瘤后第2、3周进行MRT。WI、T2WI检查监视肿瘤生长情况。在种瘤后第3周时，于CT引导下，于肿瘤一侧的早期强化最明显处注射无水乙醇1.0ml，治疗1周后应用MRPI观察治疗效果。灌注参数包括：对比剂到达时间（T0）和最大上升斜率（ss），应用t检验比较治疗区与肿瘤未治疗区的灌注参数。结果10只兔肿瘤均种植成功，第3周时肿瘤直径（2．6±0．6）cm。治疗过程中3只兔死亡，PEI治疗1周后的治疗区呈无或低度强化。肿瘤未治区与治疗区的11D分别为（16．0±1．2）、（50，8±5．9）S，ss分别为38．9±2．2、6．0±1．2，差异均有统计学意义（t值分别为15．8、-39．6，P值均〈0．05）。常规T1 WI、T2 WI无法清晰显示治疗区与未治疗区的差异。结论全肝MRPI可以较敏感的早期监测PEI疗效，早期强化的消失可作为PEI治疗有效的标志。
