The role of PD-ECGF and VEGF in proliferative and involuted mechanism of the infantile capillary hemangiomas / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the relation between the expressions of PD-ECGF and VEGF and the evolution of capillary hemangioma, so as to provide theoretical basis for treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fourty cases with capillary hemangioma, proved by pathologic method, were randomly selected and divided into proliferative (n=22) and involuted groups (n=18), according to the Mulliken standard. 8 specimens from 8 children with prepuce operation were used as control group. All the specimens were fixed, embedded and underwent HE staining. The expression of PD-ECGF, VEGF and CD34 in endothelial cells were detected by immunohistochemistry. The microvessel-density (MVD) was also calculated. The results were analyzed by SPSS12.0.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive expression rates of PD-ECGF and VEGF were 95.45% (21/22) and 86.36% (19/22) in proliferative hemangioma, 77.78% (14/18) and 66.67% (12/ 18) in involuted hemangioma, 37.50% (3/8) and 37.50% (3/8) in normal skin. MVD in proliferative and involuted hemangioma and normal skin was 93.68 +/- 20.56, 51.94 +/- 20.73 and 17.50 +/- 5.30, respectively. There was a significant difference in PD-ECGF expression and MVD between the proliferative and involuted groups, or between the hemangioma and control groups (P < 0.05). The VEGF was significantly different between the proliferative and involuted groups, or between the proliferative and control groups (P < 0.05), but not between the involuted and control groups (P > 0.05). The expression of VEGF, PD-ECGD and MVD showed a positive relationship.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>PD-ECGF and VEGF have a synergetic effect in the proliferation of micro-vessels. PD-ECGF may enhance the activity of thymidine phosphorylase. They play an important role in the proliferation and involution of hemangioma.</p>

Pingyangmycin emulsion inducing apoptosis in infantile proliferating capillary hemangiomas / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To insight whether PYM emulsion induces apoptosis more rapidly in proliferating capillary hemangiomas so as to find the optimal method for hemangiomas' treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty volunteers of infantile proliferating hemangiomas were divided into control group (15 cases) and mediational group (15 cases). PYM was made into emulsion and smeared on the surfaces of the lesion in mediational group with 3 times every day as well as only matrix in control group. The specimens were resected on day 7, then made into pathological slices and electron microscope slices in order to observe the cells microcosmic structure changes and ultrastructure changes. Furthermore , the apoptotic index of two groups were detected by the molecular biology method (TUNEL test ).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The number of apoptotic cells were lower in control group (AI 9.693 +/- 4.948) but higher apparently in mediational group (AI 39.373 +/- 15.927). The difference between two groups was significant (t = 6.893, P < 0.01) .</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>PYM emulsion can effectively accelerate apoptosis in infantile proliferating capillary hemangiomas . The mechanism is supposed to related to the blockage of cell cycle and activation of apoptotic signal transduction pathway.</p>

Factors of Serumal Estrogen Increasing in Infant with Hemangiomas and Its Relationship with Tumors' Proliferation / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the factors of high level of serum estradiol(E2)in infant with hemangiomas and its relationship with tumors' proliferation.Methods The levels of serumal estradiol of 25 proliferative hemangiomas and 15 oblique inguinal hernias with same ages 1 day preoperation and 3 days postoperation were tested by chemiluminescence enzymatic immune method.The expressions of estrogen receptors(ER)in 25 tumors and 15 normal skin tissue were tested by immunohistochemical method.Results The levels of E2 of preoperation were ob-viously higher than that of postoperation in hemangiomas and control group(Pa0.05).The expression of ER in tumors was significantly higher than that in normal skin tissue(P

Pingyangmycin Treating Infantile Proliferating Capillary Hemangiomas in 30 Children / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the microcosmic mechanism of pingyangmycin treating infantile proliferating capillary hemangiomas so as to find the optimal method for hemangiomas′ treatment.Methods Sixty samples of infantile proliferating hemangiomas were divided into control group(30 cases,aged from 2 days to 6 months) and experimental group(30 cases,aged from 2 to 6 months).Pingyangmycin was made into emulsion and smeared on the surfaces of the leision in experimental group with 3 times every day as well as only matrix in control group.The specimens were resected on d7,then made into pathological slices and electron microscope slices in order to observe the cells microcosmic structure changes and ultrastructure changes.Furthermore,the apoptotic indexes of two groups were detected by the molecular biology method(TUNEL test).Results The number of apoptotic cells were lower in control group(apoptotic index 18.87?13.67)but higher apparently in experimental group(apoptotic index 29.52?15.33).The difference between two groups was significant(t=2.842 P
