肝門部膽管癌(hilar cholangiocarcinoma),又稱Klaskin癌,是指起源于左右肝管、分叉部和肝總管上段膽管上皮的惡性腫瘤,約占膽管癌的60%~70%[1]。由于其臨床表現隱匿,早期難以被發現。目前根治性手術是最有效的提高其生存率的治療方式,隨著肝門部膽管癌R0切除率的不斷升高,5年生存率不斷提高[2,3],但仍有不少問題有待于解決……
Objective To explore the effect of Tie-2 small interference RNA (siRNA) treatment in human hepatoma transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice. Methods Tumor cells were implanted in the hind flank of male nude mice of 6 weeks. Tumor-bearing mice were divided into two groups (gene therapy group and control group) and injected intra-tumorally with Tie-2-siRNA/Lipofectamine and saline/Lipofectamine respectively. The tumor volume and weight, serum AFP and microvessel density (MVD) and the histological change of the tumor were tested after gene therapy. Results The growth inhibitory rates in gene therapy group were 26.94%, 53.01% and 68.91% on day 4, 7 and 10 after gene therapy respectively. The tumor volumes of gene therapy group (118.47, 111.57 and 104.59 mm3) were smaller than those of the control group (162.17, 237.46 and 336.41 mm3) respectively (P<0.01), and the weight of tumor in gene therapy group was lighter than that of the control group 〔(0.89±0.09) g vs (1.24±0.03), P<0.01〕. The AFP value in gene therapy group was obviously lower than that of the control group 〔(107.66±24.13) ng/ml vs (266.08±50.96) ng/ml, P<0.01〕. There was significant diference of MVD between the gene therapy group (34.63±4.07) and the control group (81.01±9.44) with the method of immunohistochemitry (P<0.01). Histopathology in the control group showed that the tumor volumes were bigger, and a high atypic of tumor cells were seen. The main pathological changes in tumor tissue of gene therapy group were necrosis, there were massive necrosis. The apoptosis cells were seen in the both of necrosis and non-necrosis areas in only 2 mice of gene therapy group. Conclusion Tie-2-siRNA inhibits the tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis, and is a possible new approach for liver neoplasm gene therapy.
Objective To investigate whether protease inhibitor (ulinastatin, UTI) can protect liver from ischemiareperfusion injury in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing hepatectomy after hepatic inflow occlusion. Methods A prospective randomized control study was designed. Thirtyone HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy after hepatic inflow blood occlusion were randomly divided into the following two groups. UTI group (n=16), 1×105 units of ulinastatin was given intravenously in operation, then the dosage was continuously used twice a day up to 5 days postoperatively. Control group (n=15), the patients received other liver protective drugs. Liver function, plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and cortisol level were compared between these two groups. Results The postoperative liver function of the UTI group was significantly improved compared with the control group. For example, on the third postoperative day the aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and total bilirubin level in the UTI group were significantly lower than those in the control group, respectively (P<0.05). On the first postoperative day, the plasma CRP concentration in the UTI group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.01). The plasma cortisol level in the control group markedly increased compared with the level before operation(P=0.046). However, there was no significant difference in the UTI group between before and after operation. Conclusion Ulinastatin can effectively protect liver from ischemia/reperfusion injury in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy performed after hepatic inflow occlusion. Also, it can relieve the surgical stress for patients.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of rhGH on hypoalbuminemia in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. MethodsThirty rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=6), liver cirrhosis group (LC group, n=6), liver cirrhosis and hepatectomy group (LCH group,n=6), PN (parenteral nutrition) group (n=6, given PN after hepatectomy) and rhGH+PN group (n=6,given rhGH and PN after hepatectomy). Liver function and blood glucose were measured. The expression of ALB mRNA was detected by RTPCR. Liver Ki67 immunohistochemistry was studied. ResultsCompared with PN group, serum ALP was lower; serum ALB and blood glucose were higher in rhGH+PN group. The expression of hepatic ALB mRNA was higher, and hepatic Ki67 labeling index was higher as well in this group. ConclusionrhGH can improve hypoalbuminemia after partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic rats with partial hepatectomy.
Objective To detect the tissue factor (TF) mRNA expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and to elucidate its significance. Methods TF mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 27 cases of human hepatocellular carcinoma tissue specimen with their adjacent tissues and in 27 non-tumorous process tissues. Then the relationship between mRNA expression and pathological data were analyzed. Results The expression and the relative expression intensity of TF in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues were 62.96%(17/27) and 0.567±0.268 respectively, which were significantly higher than those in their adjacent tissues 〔33.33%(9/27), 0.469±0.184〕 and in 27 non-tumorous process tissue 〔29.63%(8/27), 0.353±0.121〕, Plt;0.05. The relative expression intensity of TF were associated with tumor size, intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastasis and portal vein invasion, but unrelated to gender, AFP level, differentiation, HBsAg, cirrhosis, number of tumor lesions, and lymph node metastasis (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Expression of TF mRNA were significantly higher in hepatocellular carcinoma and in the invasive and metastatic tissue, which indicated that TF may play an important role in carcinogenesis, invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
目的 探討胰十二指腸切除術后出血的原因及其預防和治療措施。方法 對我院1977~2002年期間210例胰十二指腸切除術病例進行回顧性分析。結果 發生術后出血39例(18.6%),其中上消化道出血33例次(15.7%),腹腔內出血10例次(4.8%)。術后死亡的18例中14例合并術后出血; 出血合并其他并發癥患者的死亡率(57.1%,12/21)明顯高于單純出血病例(11.1%,2/18),與出血并存的并發癥中以吻合口漏、腹腔內感染和肝、腎功能衰竭最為常見。近兩年來術后出血率(10.5%)較90年代(19.8%)和90年代前(26.2%)減少。術后出血患者術前總膽紅素≥342 μmol/L者的比例及術中出血和輸血量均明顯高于未出血病例。結論 精細熟練的操作、嚴密吻合、徹底止血及有效預防其他并發癥的發生是減少術后出血及死亡的關鍵,術前重度黃疸、術中大量出血和輸血將增加患者術后出血的危險性。
