ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the feasibility of 125I intra-operative implantation plus palliative resection of gastric carcinoma for treatment of advanced gastric cancer infiltrating pancreas. Methods 125 I was implanted intraoperatively into the residual pancreatic cancer tissues after gastric carcinoma was palliatively removed. Results From Feb. 2005 to Jun. 2009, 15 cases (9 male, 6 female) advanced gastric cancer patients were treated with 125 I intra-operative implantation. The patients' ages ranged from 41 to 78 years, with the median age of 64 years old. There were 10 cases of gastric cancer infiltrating the neck or body of pancreas and 5 cases infiltrating pancreatic head. No severe post-operative complications were recorded. The follow-up showed that there were 5 cases of CR (33.3%), 9 cases of PR (60%), 1 case of NC (6.7%) and no PD patients were found. Conclusion 125I intra-operative implantation plus palliative gastric resection is feasible and effective for patients of advanced gastric cancer infiltrating the pancreas.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effects of ~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN on the in vitro invasive ability of heptocellular carcino-ma cell line(HepG2) through PEI-RGD-mediated receptor process. Methods: Intergrin α_v-specific antisense oligonucle-otide was labeled with ~(125)I, and PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN complex was prepared by combining ~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN with polyethyleneimine derivative PEI-RGD. PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN complex was transferred into HepG2 cells through the receptor-mediated process. The effect of PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN complex on the invasive ability of HepG2 cells was examined by Boyden chamber invasive assay. Results: (1) The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of ~(125)I-(α_v) ASODN were(73.78±4.09)% and(96.68±1.38)%, respectively, and the labeled compound had a good stability in vitro after 48 h at 37℃; (2) The ability of HepG2 cells to uptake PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN reached its peek ([12.77±0.85] % ) when PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN was at 4 μl/2 μg ([12.77±0.85] %), and then gredually decreased thereafter. So the dosage of PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN for the following experiment was chosen as 2 μl/1 μg; (3) The invasive capacity of HepG2 cells was significantly reduced in PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN group compared with those in other experiment and control groups (P <0.01 ). Conclusion: ~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN mediated by PEI-RGD can effectively inhibit the invasive capacity of HepG2 cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the curative effect of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NMV) and its influence on plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in senile patients with cot pulmonale complicated with respiratory failure. Methods Eighty senile patients with cot pulmonale complicated with respiratory failure were randomly divided into treatment group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases). The treatment group was treated by NMV combined with routine therapy, and the control group was treated by only routine therapy including respiratory stimulant,lowering pulmonary artery pressure, cardiotonic agents, diuretics and nasal catheter oxygen inhalation. Blood pressure, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), blood gas analysis (pH, PaO2, PaCO2 ,SaO2) and clinical symptoms and signs were observed before and 72 hours after treatment. The plasma levels of BNP and ET-1 were also measured before and after treatment. Results Compared with the control group, the clinical symptoms and signs were significantly improved, SaO2 and PaO2 were significantly elevated, and PaCO2, HR and RR were significantly reduced in NMV group (t=2.23 ～ 3.92, P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). The plasma levels of BNP and ET-1 were significantly decreased after treatment in both groups,especially in the treatment group (t=2. 93,3. 56, P<0.01). The plasma levels of BNP and ET-1 had significantly negative correlation with PaO2 (r=-0.69,-0.61 ,P<0. 01) ,and positive correlation with PaCO2 (r= 0.51,0.42, P<0. 05). Conclusions NMV can improve hypoxemia and CO2 retention in senile patients with cot pulmonale complicated with respiratory failure,and may have some influences on neuroendocrine functions.
