RESUMEN
Human epidermal growth factor receptor?2 ( Her?2) plays an important role in promoting the growth of tumor cells and inhibiting cell apoptosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) can not only promote the formation of vessels and lymphatic ves?sels, but also promote lymphatic metastasis. They cooperatively promote invasiveness and metastasis. Now Her?2?interference RNA, molecular target therapy and VEGF anti?lymphatic therapy have become a new treatment for colon cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the significance of No12 lymphadenectomy in patients of advanced distal gastric cancer undergoing D2 distal or total gastrectomy.Methods Clinical and pathological data of 193 distal gastric cancer cases undergoing D2 gastrectomy and No12 lymphadenectomy during Jan 2012 and Jan 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results In Borrmann Ⅲ,Ⅳ No.12a LN metastasis was significantly higher than that in Borrmann Ⅰ,Ⅱ (x2 =4.841,P =0.028).In cases of multiple cancer 12a LN metastasis was significantly higher than that in gastric angle,gastric antrum (11.1％ 、9.7％ 、30.4％).High-differentiated cancer was lower in LN metastasis than that of low differentiated both in No.12a group (x2 =4.292,P =0.038),and in No.12b group (x2 =4.079,P =0.043).In cases with serosal invasion LN metastasis was higher than that without infiltration both in No.12a group (x2 =8.107,P =0.004),and in 12b group (x2 =3.836,P =0.050).In cases of N 0 ～ 1 the LN metastasis was lower than that in N 2 ～ 3 in 12a group (x2 =10.960,P=0.001),12b group (x2 =4.989,P =0.026),and in 12p group (x2 =4.433,P =0.035 respectively).In cases of tumor diameter ＜3 cm,3 ～5 cm and ＞5 cm,the 12a lymph node metastasis rate was 4.2％,10.0％,and 29.2％,respectively.Tumor size ＞ 5 cm has higher metastasis rate in No.12a group (x2 =6.464,P =0.011).Conclusions No.12 lymphadenectomy should be included routinely in D2 gastrectomy in patients of distal gastric carcinoma.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of spleen preservation on hepatic fibrosis and relevant cytokine in rabbits with advanced schistosomiasis. Methods After hepatic cirrhosis was induced by infecting Schistosoma japonicum cercariae in rabbits, total splenectomy (TSG), subtotal splenectomy (SSG) or sham operation (model control group, MCG) were performed respectively on these rabbits. Meanwhile,a normal control group (NCG) was established. The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) , interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-lβ) were detected respectively by radioimmunoassay(RIA) at the 8th, 15th and 21st week post-infection. The expressions of transforming growth factor betal (TGF-β1), type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in liver tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry before and after the operations. Results Compared with NCG, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β of MCG rabbits increased significantly at the 8th week post-infection (P 0.05). The expressions of TGF-β1, type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in liver tissue of MCG rabbits were significantly higher than those of NCG rabbits before the operation (P 0.05). Conclusion The residual splenic tissue after subtotal splenectomy does not aggravate the hepatic fibrosis at advanced schistosomiasis. The mechanism may be that the relevant cytokines of hepatic fibrosis (TGF-β1, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-1β) decreased to a lower level at this time,and splenectomy does not influence the levels of them.
