<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Glycoprotein ABCB5 and YB-1 expression plays a role in increased heterogeneity of breast cancer cells: correlations with cell fusion and doxorubicin resistance

Background  

Cancer cells recurrently develop into acquired resistance to the administered drugs. The iatrogenic mechanisms of induced chemotherapy-resistance remain elusive and the degree of drug resistance did not exclusively correlate with reductions of drug accumulation, suggesting that drug resistance may involve additional mechanisms. Our aim is to define the potential targets, that makes drug-sensitive MCF-7 breast cancer cells turn to drug-resistant, for the anti-cancer drug development against drug resistant breast cancer cells.     

Hepatic pseudotumor in long-standing biliary atresia patients undergoing liver transplantation.

A pseudotumor, giant regenerative nodule, or macroregenerative nodule is an unusual benign hepatic lesion in biliary atresia (BA) patients. This tumor may mimic malignant transformation and may preclude liver transplantation (LT). The clinical and imaging surveillance of patients after the Kasai procedure is therefore an important aspect of management of BA patients. Our objective is to report our experience and describe the incidence, imaging, and pathologic features of pseudotumors in BA patients awaiting LT. From August 1990 to December 2006, 133 LTs for BA were performed. Five (3.8%; 4 female, 1 male) patients were diagnosed with pseudotumor. The patients' records were reviewed. The diagnostic imaging modalities used were abdominal ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Histologic confirmation of the lesions was obtained in all cases. All underwent the Kasai operation in early infancy. Six of 7 lesions in 4 of 5 patients were demonstrated by pretransplant imaging. Two of 7 tumors were detected by US. Five of 7 lesions were detected by CT, and 5 of 7 lesions were demonstrated by MRI. In 1 patient, the lesion was not seen in the US, CT, or MRI but was found during surgery and confirmed by histology. An additional tumor was found incidentally during histologic examination in a patient previously diagnosed to have 2 tumors by CT and MRI. In another patient diagnosed to have 2 tumors on imaging, pathology revealed only a single tumor. In conclusion, although unusual, pseudotumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of liver masses in BA children.     

伽玛刀治疗高危前列腺增生症的临床应用

目的探讨伽玛刀在不适合开放手术或经尿道电切术的高危前列腺增生患者治疗中的应用。方法采用深圳奥沃公司生产的OUR-QGD型立体定向全身伽玛刀治疗20例高危前列腺增生患者。应用国际前列腺症状评分(IPSS)、前列腺重量、最大尿流率(Qmax)、残余尿量作为评价指标。观察上述数据在治疗前后的改变及其临床意义。结果术后随访6个月,IPSS评分由治疗前29分降至19.6分(P<0.01)。前列腺重量平均值均由治疗前的(56.4±4.4)g减少至(54.8±4.3)g(P>0.05)。最大尿流率平均值由治疗前的(6.7±1.8)ml/s增加至(11.5±1.7)ml/s(P<0.01),残余尿量平均值由治疗前的(85.1±27.8)ml降至(50.9±15.6)ml(P<0.01)。结论立体定位体部伽玛刀治疗高危前列腺增生症患者具有简便、安全、无创、痛苦小、并发症少、疗效好,可不需住院等优点,对不愿意接受手术或不宜手术的高危前列腺增生患者不失为一种良好的治疗方法,但费用较高。     

宫腔镜手术的麻醉处理

目的探讨宫腔镜手术麻醉方式的选择及其对患者呼吸循环的影响以及对水中毒预防的体会。方法选取416例妇科宫腔镜手术患者,根据手术种类及难易程度分别采用静脉全麻,腰-硬联合阻滞麻醉及静-吸复合全麻。术中连续监测各项生命体征,观察麻醉前后对患者呼吸循环的影响。同时为防止水中毒的发生,凡是手术时间超过1h,膨宫液超过10000ml以上的宫腔镜手术,预防性地应用呋塞米20~40mg。结果静脉麻醉诱导后,全组病人的RR(呼吸频率),HR(心率),MAP(平均动脉压)均有不同程度降低,与诱导前比较有显著性差异(P<0.01)但仍在正常范围内,无需处理,术毕即恢复正常。在正常吸氧情况下SpO2(血氧饱和度)差异无显著性(P>0.05)。联合阻滞麻醉前后各时点的HR,MAP,RR,SpO2均无明显变化。结论虽然宫腔镜手术是微创手术,但潜在的危险性依然存在,对于麻醉来说,除了选择合适的麻醉方式,为手术提供良好的镇静和肌松条件外,还要进行一系列麻醉监测,密切观察患者的各项生命体征,适当地使用呋塞米可有效预防水中毒。

In vivo 13C saturation transfer effect of the lactate dehydrogenase reaction.

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) catalyzes an exchange reaction between pyruvate and lactate. It is demonstrated here that this reaction is sufficiently fast to cause a significant magnetization (saturation) transfer effect when the 13C resonance of pyruvate is saturated by a continuous-wave (CW) RF pulse. Infusion of [2-(13)C]glucose was used to allow labeling of pyruvate C2 at 207.9 ppm to determine the pseudo first-order rate constant of the unidirectional lactate-->pyruvate flux in vivo. During systemic administration of GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline, this pseudo first-order rate constant was determined to be 0.08+/-0.01 s-1 (mean+/-SD, N=4) in halothane-anesthetized adult rat brains. In 9L and C6 rat glioma models, the 13C saturation transfer effect of the LDH reaction was also detected in vivo. Our results demonstrate that the 13C magnetization transfer effect of the LDH reaction may be useful as a novel marker for utilizing noninvasive in vivo MRS to study many physiological and pathological conditions, such as cancer.     

Detrended fluctuation analysis of resting EEG in depressed outpatients and healthy controls.

OBJECTIVE: Recent findings have demonstrated that the EEG possesses long-range temporal (auto-) correlations (LRTC) in the dynamics of broad band oscillations. The analysis of LRTC provides a quantitative index of statistical dependencies in oscillations on different time scales. We analyzed LRTC in resting EEG signals in depressed outpatients and healthy controls. METHODS: The participants in this study were 11 non-depressed, age-matched controls, and 11 unmedicated unipolar depressed patients. EEG data were obtained from each participant during 5-min resting baseline periods with eyes closed and then analyzed with detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), a scaling analysis method that quantifies a simple parameter to represent the correlation properties of a time series. The scaling exponent, the result of DFA, provides a quantitative measure of LRTC from the EEG. RESULTS: The present study demonstrates that all the scaling exponents in depressed patients and healthy controls were greater than 0.5 and less than 1.0, regardless of condition. Furthermore, the scaling exponents of depressed patients have relatively higher values in whole brain regions compared to healthy controls, with significant differences at F3, C3, T3, T4 and O1 channels (p<0.05). Finally, a significant linear correlation was observed between the severity of depression and the scaling exponent over most of the channels, except O2. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the brain affected by a major depressive disorder shows slower decay of the LRTC, and that the persistence of the LRTC of EEG in depressed patients was associated with the severity of depression over most of the cortical areas. SIGNIFICANCE: The DFA method may broaden our understanding of the psychophysiological basis of depression.     

前列腺上皮内瘤变的基因微阵列分析

目的:通过基因微阵列分析,研究经显微切割后的前列腺上皮内瘤变(PIN)的基因表达谱,并将其与前列腺良性增生(BPH)及前列腺癌的mRNA基因表达谱进行对比,探讨前列腺癌的发生、发展,检测PIN及前列腺癌的肿瘤标志物。方法:采用美国Affymetrix公司的HG-U133A基因芯片,检测了16例人的前列腺组织标本,包括5例良性标本,6例PIN以及5例前列腺癌标本,均为新鲜冰冻组织。为了精确获得上皮细胞基因表达谱,避免周围间质细胞及单核细胞的RNA 对结果的影响,我们采用了激光捕获显微切割技术,分别得到了3组纯的上皮细胞群进行研究。结果:有些基因的表达强度在从良性增生到PIN到癌的转化过程中,呈逐渐改变的趋势,但笔者发现3组间基因表达谱存在非常显著的差异。与BPH及前列腺癌相比,PIN有其独特的基因表达谱。结论:基因表达谱中显著上调及下调的特异性基因,可以将PIN 和BPH及前列腺癌中区分开来;基因微阵列分析也有助于揭示代谢通路及信号转导途径的变化,有利于靶基因治疗。     

Intraoperative blood loss is a risk factor for complications in donors after living donor hepatectomy.

Complications in a donor are a distressing but inevitable occurrence, since graft procurement is a major undertaking. Although the technique for procurement has some similarities to hepatic resection, a donor is very unlike a patient with malignancy. The risk factors identified in these patients cannot be extrapolated to donors. Donor hepatectomy carried out from June 1995 to March 2005 in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center was reviewed with the aim of identifying risk factors for complications. There were 204 living donor liver transplants, with 205 donor hepatectomies, as 1 living donor liver transplantation was a dual graft. Ten donors (4.88%) suffered complications. There was no difference in terms of age, gender, body weight, operation, and parenchymal time between those who had complications and those who did not. There was also no difference in liver function tests between the 2 groups of donors, but the total bilirubin was significantly higher in donors with complications. The graft weight and remnant liver volume were also similar. The proportion of donors with fatty liver was the same between the 2 groups. The mean blood loss in donors with complications was 170 +/- 79 mL, and that for donors without complications was 95 +/- 77 mL. There was a statistically significant greater blood loss in donors with complications (P < 0.05). The number of segments removed in donors with complications was also higher compared to donors without complications (P < 0.03). Using multivariate analysis, intraoperative blood loss and the number of segments removed were found to be independent risk factors for donor complications. Intraoperative blood loss during graft procurement must be kept low to minimize complications in donors.
