| 1 | Quantitative analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor, microvascular density and their clinicopathologic features in human hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is known to be essential to the survival, growth, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are an important angiogenic factor regulating tumor angiogenesis, but its significance and tumor pathologic features are un- clear in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the present study, we analyzed expression of tissue VEGF, alteration of microvascular density (MVD) in microvessel angiogenesis, development and metastasis of HCC, and level of serum VEGF in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liv- er diseases. METHODS: Tumor specimens were prospectively collected from HCC patients undergoing resection. Total RNAs were extracted and the expression levels were detected from different parts of HCC tissues. The cellular distributions of VEGF and MVD of liver tumors and their paracancerous and distal cancerous tissues were investigated by streptavi- din peroxidase (S-P) immunohistochemistry, respectively. The VEGF levels of circulating blood and hepatoma tissues were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The incidence of VEGF expression was 63.9% in HCCs (23/36 cases), 78.3% in non-encapsulated HCCs (18/23), and 90.9% in HCCs with extrahepatic metastasis (10/11), respectively. The VEGF expression was tightly correlated with MVD (P <0.01). The MVD in HCC with metastasis, low differentiation or non-encapsulation was significantly higher than that in HCC with intact capsule, high differentiation, or no metastasis. No significant diffe- rence was found between VEGF, MVD, tumor size, and hepatitis virus infection. The level of total RNA in HCC tis- sues was significantly lower but the VEGF level significantly higher than those in paracancerous or distal cancerous ones (P<0.01). The abnormal expression levels of VEGF in sera of HCC patients were directly correlated with the me- tastasis and recurrence of tumors. CONCLUSION: The high expression of VEGF and abnor- mality of tissue MVD are useful predictors for vascular inva- sion and metastasis of liver tumors. | Deng-Fu Yao, Xin-Hua Wu, Yong Zhu, Gong-Sheng Shi, Zhi-Zhen Dong, Deng-Bing Yao, Wei Wu, Li-Wei Qiu and Xian-Yong Meng Nantong, China Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology , Department of Pathology and Department of Gastroenterology , Affiliated Hos- pital of Nantong University Department of Diagnostics , and Institute of Neurosciences , Nantong University Nantong 226001, China | 2005 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2005,4,2: | 81 |
| 2 | Increasing the frequency of CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy may decrease risk of death in gastric cancer patients显示文摘AIM: To analyze the correlation between cytokineinduced killer (CIK) cells adoptive immunotherapy and cancer-related death in gastric cancer patients. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-six gastric cancer patients after operation at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were enrolled in this study. Their clinical data including demographic characteristics, operation time, tumor size, pathological type and staging, tumor metastasis, outcome of chemotherapy or CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy, survival time or time of death were collected with a standard structured questionnaire. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the median survival time, and the 2- and 5- year survival rates. Hazard risk (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy for gastric cancer were calculated using the two-stage time-dependent covariates Cox model. RESULTS: The survival time of gastric cancer patients was longer after CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy than after chemotherapy (χ 2 = 10.907, P = 0.001). The median survival time of gastric cancer patients was also longer after CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy than after chemotherapy (49 mo vs 27 mo, P < 0.05). The 2- and 5-year survival rates of gastric cancer patients were significantly higher after CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy than after chemotherapy (73.5% vs 52.6%, 40.4% vs 23.9%, P < 0.05). A significant difference was observed in the survival curve for patients who received CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy (0, 1-10, 11-25, and over 25 frequencies) (χ 2 = 14.534, P = 0.002). The frequencies of CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy were significantly related with the decreasing risk of death in gastric cancer patients after adjustment for sex and age of the patients, tumor stage and relapse (HR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.36-0.80) when the first stage Cox model was used to define the subjects who remained alive beyond 36 mo as survivors. However, no correlation was observed between the frequencies of death in CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy and the risk of gastric cancer patients (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.63-0.89) when the second stage Cox model was used to define the subjects who survived for more than 36 mo as survivors. CONCLUSION: The survival time of the gastric cancer patients treated with chemotherapy combined with CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy is significantly longer than that of the patients treated with chemotherapy alone and increasing the frequency of CIK cells adoptive immunotherapy seems to benefit patients more. | Jing-Ting Jiang, Chang-Ping Wu, Lu-Jun Chen, Xiao Zheng, Department of Tumor Biological Treatment, Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Changzhou 213003, Jiangsu Province, China Yi-Bei Zhu, Jing Sun, Xue-Guang Zhang, Key Laboratory of Stem Cell of Jiangsu Province, Institute of Biotechnology, Key Laboratory of Clinical Immunology of Jiangsu Province, Soochow University, Suzhou 215123, Jiangsu Province, China Yue-Ping Shen, Wen-Xiang Wei, Department of Medicine, Soochow University, Suzhou 215123, Jiangsu Province, China Bin-Feng Lu, Department of Immunology, University of Pitts- burgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, United States | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,48: | 82 |
| 3 | Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy With Segmental Renal Artery Clamping:Technique and Clinical Outcomes显示文摘Background:Warm ischemic injury is one of the most important factors affecting renal function in partial nephrectomy(PN).The technique of segmental renal artery clamping emerges as an alternative to conventional renal artery clamping for renal hilar control.Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of laparoscopic PN(LPN) with segmental renal artery clamping in comparison with the conventional technique.Design,setting,and participants:A total of 75 patients underwent LPN from June 2007 to November 2009.All patients had T1a or T1b tumor in one kidney and a normal contralateral kidney.Thirty-seven patients underwent surgeries with main renal artery clamping,and 38 underwent surgeries with segmental artery clamping.Intervention:All procedures were performed by the same laparoscopic surgeon.Measurements:Blood loss,operation time,warm ischemia(WI) time,and complications affected renal function before and after operation were recorded.Results and limitations:All LPNs were completed without conversion to open surgery or nephrectomy.The novel technique slightly increased WI time(p < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss(p = 0.006),while it provided better postoperative affected renal function(p < 0.001) compared with the conventional technique.The total complication rate was 12%.Among the 38 cases where segmental renal artery clamping was performed,7 had to convert to the conventional method.Tumor size and location influenced the number of clamped segmental arteries.Long-term postoperative renal function is still awaited.Conclusions:LPN with segmental artery clamping is safe and feasible in clinical practice.It minimizes the intraoperative WI injury and improves early postoperative affected renal function compared with main renal artery clamping.(C) 2010 European Association of Urology.Published by Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved. | Shao,P.F.

| 4 | Relationship between the expression of iNOS,VEGF,tumor angiogenesis and gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To in vestigate the relationship between the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),the microvascular density(MVD)and the pathological features and clinical staging of gastric cancer.METHODS:Immunohistochemical staining was used for detecting the expression of iNOS and VEGFin46resected specimens of gastric carcinoma;the monoclonal antibody against CD34 was used for displaying vascular endothelial cells,and MVD was detected by counting of CD34-positive vascular endothelial cells.RESULTS:Of 46resected specimens of gastric carcinoma,the rates of expressions of iNOS and VEGF were 58.70%and76.09%,respectively,and MVDaveraged55.59±19.39,Judged by the standard TNM criteria,the rate of expression of iNOS in stageⅣ(84.46%)was higher than those in stageⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ(Fish exact probabilities test,P=0.019,0.023and 0.033,respectively);the rates of expression of VEGFin stage Ⅲ,Ⅳ(76.0%,92.31%,respectively)were higher than those in stageⅠ,Ⅱ(Fis exact probabilities test,P=0.031,0.017,0.022and0.019).MVDs in stageⅢ,Ⅳ(64.72±14.96,67.09±18.29,respectively)were higher than those in stageⅠ,Ⅱ(t\2.378,4.015,2.503and2.450,P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.001,P<0.05,respectively),In37gastric carcinoma specimens with lymph node metastasis,MVD(68.69±18.07)and the rates of expression of iNOS and VEGF(70.27%,83.78%,respectively)were higher than those in the specimens with absence of metastasis(t=2.205,X^2=6.3587,X^2=6.2584,P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.05,respectively),MVD and the expressions of iNOS and EGF were not correlated to the location,size or grade of tumor,nor with the depth of invasion of tumor;MVDs in the positive iNOS and VEGF specimens(59.88±18.02,58.39±17.73,repectively)were higher than those in the negative iNOS and VEGF specimens(X^2=6.3587and 6.1574,P<0.05,P<0.05,respectively);thus the expressions of iNOS and VEGF was correlated to MVD,but the expression of iNOS was not correlated to that of VEGF,In addition.of the 46 surviving patients,the 5-year survival rate of patients with positive iNOS or VEGF tumors was significantly less than that of patients with negative iNOS-or VEGF tumors(X^2=4.3842and 5.4073,P<0.05,P<0.05.respectively).CONCLUSION:The expressions of iNOS and VEGF are colosely related to tumor angiogenesis,and are involved in the advancement and the lymph node metastasis;thusMVD and the expressions of iNOS and EGF may serve indexes for evaluating staging of gastric carcinoma and forecasting its risk of metastasis,which will help establish a comprehensive therapeutical measure of post-operative patients and provide a new approach to tumor therapy. | Zheng-Jun Song Ping Gong Yu-E Wu Department of Gastroenterology,First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University,Xi’an 710061,ShaanXi Province,China | 2002 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2002,8,4: | 87 |
| 5 | PTEN encoding product:a marker for tumorigenesis and progression of gastric carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To detect the expression of PTEN encoding productin normal mucosa, intestinal metaplasia (IM), dysplasia andcarcinoma of the stomach, and to investigate its clinicalimplication in tumorigenesis and progression of gastriccarcinoma.METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded specimens from184 cases of gastric carcinoma, their adjacent normal mucosa,IM and dysplasia were evaluated for PTEN protein expressionby SABC immunohistochemistry. PTEN expression wascompared with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, Lauren'sand WHO's histological classification of gastric carcinoma.Expression of VEGF was also detected in 60 cases of gastriccarcinoma and its correlation with PTEN was concerned.RESULTS: The positive rates of PTEN protein were 100 %(102/102), 98.5 %(65/66), 66.7 % (4/6) and 47.8 %(88/184)in normal mucosa, IM, dysplasia and carcinoma of the stomach,respectively. The positive rates in dysplasia and carcinomawere lower than in normal mucosa and IM (P<0.01).Advanced gastric cancers expressed less frequent PTEN thanearly gastric cancer (42.9 % v567.6 %, P<0.01). The positiverate of PTEN protein was lower in gastric cancer with thanwithout lymph node metastasis (40.3 % v563.3 %, P<0.01).PTEN was less expressed in diffuse-type than in intestinal-type gastric cancer (41.5 % v557.8 %,P<0.05). Signet ringcell carcinoma showed the expression of PTEN at the lowestlevel (25.0 %, 7/28); less than well and moderatelydifferentiated ones (P<0.01). Expression of PTEN was notcorrelated with expression of VEGF (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Loss or reduced expression of PTEN proteinoccures commonly in tumorigenesis and progression of gastriccarcinoma. It is suggested that PTEN can be an objective markerfor pathologically biological behaviors of gastric carcinoma. | Lin Yang Li-Ge Kuang Hua-Chuan Zheng Jin-Yi Li Dong-Ying Wu Su-Min Zhang Yan Xin No.4 Lab,Cancer Institute,The First Affiliated Hospital,China Medical University,Shenyang 110001,China Ying Chen Shen Yang Gynecology & Obstetrics Hospital,Shenyang 110014,China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,1: | 127 |
| 6 | Vascular endothelial growth factor and microvascular density in esophageal and gastric carcinomas显示文摘AIM: To observe the relationship between the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), microvascular density (MVD) and the pathological characteristics of esophageal and gastric carcinomas.METHODS: S-P immunohistochemical staining was used to investigate the expression of VEGF in all the specimens.The antibody against factor VIII-related antigen was used to display vascular endothelial cells, and MVD was examined by counting the factor VIII-positive vascular endothelial cells.RESULTS: The positive rates of VEGF expression in esophageal carcinoma and gastric carcinoma were 81.36 %and 67.5 % respectively, and the MVD averaged 41.81±8.44and 34.36±9.67 respectively, which were higher than those in benign diseases. The expression of VEGF and MVD were closely correlated with the degree of differentiation, lymphatic metastasis, but not related to depth of cancer invasion. In early stage gastric carcinoma, the rate of expression of VEGF and MVD was lower than that in progressive gastric carcinomas. CONCLUSION: The expression of VEGF is correlated with tumor angiogenesis, and VEGF plays an important role in new blood vessels formation, the expression of VEGF and MVD play an important role in tumor growth and metastasis.MVD and the expression of VEGF may be two important indexes for patients′ prognosis. | Jin-Rong Du Ying Jiang Yan-Mei Zhang Hong Fu, Department of Pathology, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150086, Heilongjiang Province, China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,7: | 75 |
| 7 | Prognostic significance of expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor in human gastric carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate the role of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the development of gastric carcinoma and correlation between expression of COX-2 and VEGF and clinicopathologic features in tissues from patients with gastric carcinoma.METHODS: 281 patients with gastric carcinoma who underwent surgical resection between 1990 and 1999 at the First Affiliated Hospital, Anhui Medical University, PRC, were followed up. Expression of COX-2 and VEGF was investigated retrospectively in 232 gastric carcinoma tissues and 60noncancerous specimens by using immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: The 5-year survival rates of early gastric carcinoma (EGC) and advanced gastric carcinoma (AGC) were 93.4 %and 59.0 %, respectively. Survival time was highly correlated with lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, depth of invasion and treatment with chemotherapy. Compared with paired noncancerous tissues, expression of COX-2 and VEGF and microvessel density (MVD) value in carcinoma tissue were significantly higher. The MVD value was much higher in COX-2-positive group and VEGF-positive group than that in COX-2-negative group and VEGF-negative group.Expression of COX-2 and VEGF, as well as MVD value were highly correlated with lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion. The 5-year survival rate of patients with expression of COX-2 or VEGF was significantly lower than that of patients without COX-2 or VEGF expression. Multivariate analysis revealed that VEGF overexpression, lymph node metastasis,COX-2 overexpression, depth of invasion and vascular invasion were all independent prognostic factors of gastric carcinoma.CONCLUSION: Overexpression of COX-2 and VEGF in patients with gastric carcinoma can enhance the possibility of invasion and metastasis, implicating a poor prognosis.They may serve as the fairly good prognostic factors to indicate biologic behaviors of gastric carcinoma. | Hai Shi Jian-Ming Xu Nai-Zhong Hu Hui-Jun Xie Department of Gastroenterology,the First Affiliated Hospital,Anhui Medical University,Hefei 23022,Anhui Province,China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,7: | 64 |

Each of the two modeldose IFN-γ group (15 MU/kg per day, i.m. for 8group (1.67 MU/kg daily, i.m. for 8 weeks).Another group of 10 rats without any treatmentwas used as normal controls. At the end of theexperiment, semi-quantitative histopathologicalscores of inflammation and fibrosis, liver (αsmooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression level,liver hydroxyl proline content and serumhyaluronic acid levels were compared. And 47medium chronic hepatitis B viral fibrosispatients were studied. They were given IFN-γtreatment, 100MU/day i.m. for the first threemonths and 100MU qod i.m. for the next sixmonths. Semi-quantitative pathological scoresof inflammation and fibrosis and serum hepaticfibrosis indices were compared within the 9months.RESULTS In animal experiment, thepathological fibrosis scores and liver hydroxylproline content were found to be significantlylower in rats treated with different doses of IFN-γ as compared with rats in fibrotic model groupinduced by either CCI4 or DMN, in a dose-dependent manner. For CCI4-induced model,pathological fibrosis scores in high, medium andIow doses IFN-γ groups were 5.10 ± 2.88, 7.70 ±3.53 and 8.00 ± 3.30, respectively, but the scorewas 14.60 ± 7.82 in fibrotic model group.Hydroxyl proline contents were 2.83 ± 1.18, 3.59± 1.22 and 4.80 ± 1.62, in the three IFN-γgroups, and 10.01 ± 3.23 in fibrotic model group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Similar results were found in DMN-induced model. Pathological fibrosis scoreswere 6.30±0.48, 8.10 ±2.72 and 8.30 ±2.58, inhigh, medium and Iow doses IFN-γ groups, and12.60 ± 3.57 in fibrotic model group. Hydroxylproline contents were 2.72 ± 0.58, 3.14 ± 0.71and 3.62 ± 1.02, in the three IFN-γ groups, and12.79 ± 1.54 in fibrotic model group. Thedifference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Serum hepatic fibrosis indicesdecreased significantly in the 47 patients afterIFN-γ treatment (HA: 433.38 ± 373.00 vs 281.57± 220.48; LN: 161.22± 41.02 vs 146.35 ± 44.67;PCⅢ: 192.59 ± 89.95 vs 156.98 ± 49.22; C-Ⅳ:156.30 ± 44.01 vs 139.14 ± 34.47) and thedifferences between the four indices weresignificant (P<0.05).

| 11 | Changes of NF-kB,p53,Bcl-2 and caspase in apoptosis induced by JTE-522 in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS cells:role of reactive oxygen species显示文摘AIM: To identify whether JTE-522 can induce apoptosis inAGS cells and ROS also involved in the process, and toinvestigate the changes in NF-kB, p53, bcl-2 and caspase in the apoptosis process.METHODS: Cell culture, MTT, Electromicroscopy, agarosegel electrophoresis, lucigenin, Western blot andelectrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) analysis wereemployed to investigate the effect of JTE-522 on cellproliferation and apoptosis in AGS cells and relatedmolecular mechanisms.RESULTS: JTE-522 inhibited the growth of AGS cells andinduced the apoptosis. Lucigenin assay showed the generationof ROS in cells under incubation with JTE-522. The inc eareasedROS generation might contribute to the induction of AGS cellsto apoptosis. EMSA and Westem blot revealed that NF-kBactivity was almost completely inhibited by preventing thedegradation of IkBα. Additionally, by using Western blot weconfirmed that the level of bcl-2 was decreased, whereas p53showed a great increase following JTE-522 treatment. Theirchanges were in a dose-dependent manner.CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that reactive oxygenspecies, NF-kB, p53, bcl-2 and caspase-3 may play animportant role in the induction of apoptosis in AGS cellsafter treatment with JTE-522. | Hong-Liang Li Xiao-Hong Li Yan-Qing L Chun-Ling Ye Xian-Da Ren,Department of Pharmacology,Jinan University Pharmacy College,Guangzhou 510632,Guangdong,China Dan-Dan Chen,Department of Cardiology,First Affiliated Hospital,Zhongshan University,Guangzhou 510089,Guangdong,China Hai-Wei Zhang,Department of Pathology,Jinan University Medical College,Guangzhou 510632,Guangdong,China | 2002 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2002,8,3: | 58 |

| 13 | Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy using novel magnetic compressive anastomats in canine model of obstructive jaundice显示文摘BACKGROUND:The traditional hand-sewn Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy is technically complicated,and the incidence of postoperative complications has remained high.A set of novel magnetic compressive anastomats was introduced to facilitate choledochojejunostomy and improve the prognosis of patients.METHODS:After ligating the common bile duct for 7 days,16 dogs were randomly divided into two groups (n=8 per group).Anastomats were used in the study group,and the traditional hand-sewn method was used in the control group for standard Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy.We compared the operation time,incidence of complications,gross appearance,and pathological disparity in stoma between the two groups in 1-month and 3-month follow-up examinations.RESULTS:The time spent on constructing the anastomosis for the study group was significantly shortened.Although no anastomotic stenosis occurred in the two groups,the narrowing rate of biliary-enteric anastomosis was much higher in the control group.There was one case of bile leakage in the control group,whereas no bile leakage occurred in the study group.A smoother surface,an improved layer apposition,and a lower local inflammatory response were identified in the anastomosis of the study group.CONCLUSION:The structures of the novel magnetic compressive anastomats are simple,and they are time-saving,safe and efficient for performing Roux-en-Y choledocho- jejunostomy procedures in a canine model of obstructive jaundice. | Chao Fan,Xiao-Peng Yan,Shi-Qi Liu,Chun-Bao Wang,Jian-Hui Li,Liang Yu,Zheng Wu and Yi Lv Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Department of Pathology,First Affiliated Hospital,School of Medicine,Xi’an Jiaotong University,Xi’an 710061,China Department of Surgical Oncology,Third Affiliated Hospital,School of Medicine,Xi’an Jiaotong University,Xi’an 710068,China | 2012 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2012,11,1: | 49 |
| 14 | Characteristics of Obesity and Its Related Disorders in China显示文摘Obesity is a medical condition with excess body fat accumulation to the extent which leads to serious health consequences.Abdominal obesity,also known as central obesity,refers to the presence of excess fat in the abdominal area.Obesity,especially abdominal obesity,contributes to many metabolic disorders including metabolic syndrome (MetS),type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).The incidence of obesity has increased dramatically in recent years worldwide.In China,more than one-third of adults are overweight or obese and 10%-20% of all adults are affected by MetS.The pathogenesis underlying the abdominal obesity remains unclear.The ultimate health outcome of obesity and its related metabolic disorders have prompted physicians to take aggressive treatments (lifestyle changes,pharmacological interventions and surgical therapies) before a serious consequence becomes clinically apparent.In this review,we discuss the prevalence,pathogenesis and clinic features of obesity in China. | WEI-PING JIA ,CHEN WANG,SHAN JIANG,AND JIE-MIN PAN Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism,Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People’s Hospital,Shanghai Diabetes Institute,Shanghai Clinical Center of Diabetes,Shanghai 200233,China | 2010 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2010,23,1: | 46 |

| 16 | Effects of allicin on both telomerase activity and apoptosis in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of allicin on both telomeraseactivity and apoptosis in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells.METHODS: The gastric cancer SGC-7901 adenocarcinomacells were treated with allicin and the cell cycle, inhibitoryrate, apoptosis, telomerase activity and morphologic changeswere studied by MTT assay, flow cytometry (FCM), TRAP-PCR-ELISA assay, light microscope, electron microscoperespectively. Results were compared with that of AZT (3′-Azido-3′-deoxythymidine).RESULTS: SGC-7901 cells were suppressed after exposureto allicin of 0.016 mg/ml, 0.05 mg/ml, and 0.1 mg/mi for48 h. Compared with the control, the difference wassignificant (P<0.05). Allicin could induce apoptosis of thecells in a dose-dependent and non-linear manner andincrease the proportion of cells in the G2/M phase. Comparedwith the control, the difference was significant in terms ofthe percentage of cells in the G2/M phase (P<0.05). Allicincould inhibit telomerase activity in a time-dependent anddose-dependent pattern. After exposure to allicin at 0.016mg/ml for 24 hours, SGC-7901 cells showed typicalmorphologic change.CONCLUSION: Allicin can inhibit telomerase activity andinduce apoptosis of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Allicinmay be more effective than AZT. | Li Sun Xu Wang Department of Oncology,Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College,Xuzhou 221002,Jiangsu Province,China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,9: | 46 |
| 17 | Diagnostic value of platelet derived growth factor-BB,transforming growth factor-131,matrix metalloproteinase-1,and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells for hepatic fibrosis显示文摘AIM: Noninvasive diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis has become the focus because of the limited biopsy, especially in the surveillance of treatment and in screening hepatic fibrosis. Recently, regulatory elements involved in liver fibrosis, such as platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), have been studied extensively. To determine whether these factors or enzymes could be used as the indices for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis, we investigated them by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. METHODS: Serum samples from sixty patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and twenty healthy blood donors were assayed to determine the level of PDGF-BB, TGF-β1, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 with ELISA, and HA, PCIII, C-IV, and LNlevel with RIA. The message RNA (mRNA) expression of TIMP-1 and MMP-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was detected by RT-PCR and Northern blot hybridization. Liver biopsy was performed in all patients. The biopsy samples were histopatholocjically examined. The trial was double-blind controlled. RESULTS: The serum level of PDGF-BB, TIMP-1, the ratio of TIMP-1 and MMP-1 (TIMP-1/MMP-1), mRNA expression of TIMP-1 (TIMP-lmRNA), and the ratio of TIMP-lmRNA and MMP-lmRNA (TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA) in patients was significantly higher than those in the healthy blood donors (t=2.514-11.435, P=0.000-0.016). The serum level of PDGF-BB, TIMP-1, TIMP-1/MMP-1, and TIMP-lmRNA was positively correlated with fibrosis stage and inflammation grade (r=0.239-0.565, P=0.000-0.033), while the serum level of MMP-1 was negatively correlated with fibrosis stage and inflammation grade, and TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA was positively correlated with inflammation grade. Through the analysis by ROC curve, serum PDGF-BB was the most valuable marker, and its sensitivity was the highest among the nine indices. The markers with the highest specificity were TIMP-lmRNA and TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA in PBMCs. The area under the curve (AUC) of PDGF-BB, TIMP-lmRNA, TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA, TIMP-1/MMP-1, HA, PCIII, TIMP-1, C-IV, and LN was 0.985, 0.876, 0.792, 0.748, 0.728, 0.727, 0.726, 0.583, and 0.463, respectively. The sensitivity and the specificity in the parallel test was 99.0% and 95.0 % when serum PDGF-BB, TIMP-lmRNA and TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA was detected simultaneously. CONCLUSION: Serum level of PDGF-BB, TIIVIP-lmRNA, TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA in PBMCs, and serum level of TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-1 can be used as the indices for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis, but the former three are more useful. The combination of serum PDGF-BB, TIMP-lmRNA and TIMP-lmRNA/MMP-lmRNA in PBMCs is even more efficient in screening liver fibrosis. | Bin-Bin Zhang Wei-Min Cai Hong-Lei Weng Zhong-Rong Hu Jun Lu Min Zheng Rong-Hua Liu, Institute of Infectious Diseases, First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310003, Zhejiang Province, China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,11: | 48 |
| 18 | Effect of NF-κB and p38 MAPK in activated monocytes/macrophages on pro-inflammatory cytokines of rats with acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: Proinfiammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 play a main role in acute pancreatitis (AP). Cytokine biosynthesis runs through two major signaling pathways at the level of proteins: nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK). The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of NF-κB and p38 MAPK in activated monocytes/macrophages on cytokines of rats with acute pancreastitis.METHODS: Taurocholate (3 % and 5 %) at doses of 1 mL/kg was administered into the biliopancreatic duct of male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats to reduce acute edematous pancreariris (AEP) and acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).Pancreatic tissues were prepared immediately after death.At this point, blood was obtained for determination of serum amylase and pro-inflammatory TNF-α and IL-6. Activated monocytes/macrophages were captured from blood and so were ascites. NF-κB and p38 MAPK in activated monocytes/macrophages were measured by immunohistochemistry method. Pancreatic tissue samples were prepared for routine light microscopy, using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining.RESULTS: The serum levels of amylase were 3 056.00±1 232.35 IU/L and 4 865.12±890.34 IU/L at 3 and 6 hours in ANP group, which were significantly higher than those (3 056.00±1 232.35 TU/L and 3 187.17±821.16 IU/L) (P<0.05,respectively) in AEP group. In ascites the levels were 3.32±1.01 g and 3.76±1.12 g at 3 and 6 hours in ANP group,which were significantly higher than those (1.43±1.02 g and 2.56±1.21 g) (P<0.05, respectively) in AEP group. The serum levels of TNF-α were 54.27±23.48 pg/ml and 67.83±22.02 pg/ml in AEP group and 64.28±20.79 pg/ml and 106.59±43.71 pg/ml in ANP group, and the serum levels of IL-6 were 428.12±140.30 pg/ml and 420.13±139.40 pg/ml in AEP group and 1 600.32±309.78 pg/ml and 2 203.76±640.85 pg/ml in ANP group, which were far significantly higher than those in sham group (P<0.001, respectively). The serum level of TNF-α 6 hours after establishment of the studied model and that of IL-6 at 3 and 6 hours in ANP group were significantly higher than those in AEP (P<0.05, P<0.001, P<0.05). In ANP group, the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 6 hours after establishment of the studied model were significantly higher than those 3 hours after establishment of studied model (P<0.05, P<0.05, respectively). Three and 6 hours after establishment of the model, typical pathological changes of AEP and ANP were found, such as large numbers of inflammatory cells, edema, hemorrhage, necrosis, large amount of ascites. In AEP, NF-κB and p38 MAPK in activated monocytes/macrophages were moderately found at 3 and 6 hours after introduction of the model. However, in ANP,the expression of NF-κB and p38 MAPK in activated monocytes/macrophages was upregulated evidently at 3 and 6 hours after introduction of the model, reaching their highest levels at 6 hours after introduction of the model, which were consistent with the levels of TNF-α and IL-6.CONCLUSION: Cytokine TNF-α and IL-6 play a main rolein acute pancreatitis, expression of NF-κB and p38 MAPK in activated monocytes/macrophages might play a major role in cytokine transcription and biosynthesis. | Hong-Shan Liu Cheng-En Pan Qing-Guang Liu Wei Yang Xue-Min Liu, Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an 710061, Shaanxi Province, China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,11: | 42 |
| 19 | Changes in the level of serum liver enzymes after laparoscopic surgery显示文摘AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectof laparoscopic surgery on liver function in humans and thepossible mechanisms behind such effect.METHODS: Blood samples from 286 patients whounderwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and 40patients who underwent open cholecystectomy (OC) weretested for liver function by measuring the level of serumalanine aminotrasferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotrasferase(AST) before and after the operations. The same tests werealso applied to 18 laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection(LCR) patients and 23 open colorectal cancer resection (OCR)patients to determine whether CO2 pneumoperitoneum couldalter the serum liver enzymes.RESULTS: The level of serum ALT and AST increasedsignificantly during the first 48 hours post operations in bothLC and LCR patients. However, no significant change of theserum liver enzymes was detected in both OC and OCRpatients. As a result, there was statistically significantdifference in change of both ALT and AST levels betweenLC and OC patients and LCR and OCR patients, respectively.By the 7th day post operation, the level of both enzymesreturned to normal values in LC, OC and OCR patients exceptLCR patients whose enzymes remained at a higher level.CONCLUSION: Transient elevation of hepatic transaminasesoccurred after laparoscopic surgery. The major causativefactor seemed to be the CO2 pneumoperitoneum. In mostof the laparoscopic surgery patients, the transient elevationof serum liver enzymes showed no apparent clinicalimplications. However, if preoperative liver function was verypoor, laparoscopic surgery may not be the best choice forthe treatment of patients with certain abdominal diseases. | Min Tan Feng-Feng Xu Jun-Shen Peng Dong-Ming Li Liu-Hua Chen Bao-Jun Lv Zhen-Xian Zhao Chen Huang Chao-Xu Zheng Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhong Shah University, 58 Zhongshan 2 Road Guangzhou 510080, Guangdong Province China | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,2: | 42 |
| 20 | Changes of gut bacteria and immune parameters in liver transplant recipients显示文摘BACKGROUND: Liver transplantation is one of the most effective therapeutic options for patients with end-stage liver diseases, and gut microbiota is actively involved in potential infections in pretransplant and posttransplant patients. However, the diversity of gut microbiota and its relationship with the immune parameter of liver transplantation recipients are not well understood. METHODS: We collected fresh feces and blood samples from 190 participants in China from November 2004 to May 2008, including 28 healthy volunteers, 51 cirrhotic patients and 111 liver-transplanted patients. Six interesting gut bacteria, plasma endotoxin, serum cytokines (i.e., tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6) and fecal secretory IgA (SIgA) were investigated by real-time quantitative PCR, chromogenic limulus amoebocyte assay, sandwich-type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and radioimmunoassay, respectively. RESULTS: All Eubacteria, Bifidobacterium spp., Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Lactobacillus spp. were significantly lower in the liver transplantation recipients while Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus spp. were significantly higher (P<0.05). Except for Enterococcus spp., other bacteria showed a tendency to restore to normal level along with the time after liver transplantation. Plasma endotoxin, interleukin-6 and fecal SIgA in cirrhotic patients increased significantly, but not in liver transplantation recipients. Plasma endotoxin and interleukin-6 were negatively correlated with all Eubacteria and the Bacteroides-Prevotella group, while tumor necrosis factor alpha was not significantly correlated with these six gut bacteria in cirrhotic patients.CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that abundant gut bacteria were altered significantly in both cirrhotic and liver transplantation patients, while plasma endotoxin and interleukin-6 increased remarkably in cirrhotic patients, showing significant correlations with gut microbiota. Interestingly, our data show a tendency for these gut bacteria to restore to normal levels in liver transplantation recipients. | Zhong-Wen Wu, Zong-Xin Ling, Hai-Feng Lu, Jian Zuo, Ji-Fang Sheng, Shu-Sen Zheng and Lan-Juan Li State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, Department of Infectious Diseases Key Lab of Combined Multiorgan Transplantation, Ministry of Public Health, Key Lab of Organ Transplantation and Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery , First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310003, China | 2012 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2012,11,1: | 37 |
