Objective To study the effects of recombinant adenovirus vector containing vp3 gene (AdAFPvp3) on c57BL/6 murine hepatocellular carcinoma model. Methods The titers of adenovirus vectors AdAFPvp3 and AdCMV-eGFP were detected. c57BL/6 murine hepatocellular carcinoma models were reproduced by subcutaneous inoculation of murine Hepa1-6 cells, and tumors were monitored for their generation rates. Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into adenovirus vector AdAFPvp3 group, adenovirus vector AdCMV-eGFP control group and PBS control group (8 each) when the tumors grew into 5mm in diameter. AdAFPvp3 (5?108pfu/100?l), AdCMV-eGFP (5?108pfu/100?l) and PBS (100?l) was intratumorally injected, respectively, in the three groups every other day for 2 times. The volume of tumor and the presence of adverse effects were observed. Seven days after treatment, all mice were sacrificed for evaluation of antitumor effect. Tumors, livers and spleens were all harvested for routine pathological examination. At the same time, the way of tumor cell death induced by vp3 in vivo was identified by TUNEL. Results The titers of both adenovirus AdAFPvp3 and adenovirus AdCMV-eGFP were 5?109pfu/ml. The carcinogenesis rate of hepatocellular carcinoma was 100%. Compared with adenovirus AdCMV-eGFP control group and PBS control group, the volume of tumor was diminished evidently in AdAFPvp3 group after intratumoral injection (P

The importance of magnifying endoscopy and stereomicroscopy in the diagnoss of colon tumors / 解放军医学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between early colonic cancer and the pit patterns of abnormal colonic mucosa. Methods We examined the pit patterns of 124 polypi in 139 patients by magnifying colonoscopy and stereomicroscopy, and compared the relations between the pit patterns and pathological diagnosis of polypi. Results 5 cases of LST(laterally spreading tumor)and 9 cases of advanced cancer were found out of 124 polypi in 139 patients. 1 among these 5 cases of LST showed Ⅲ L pit pattern, and 4 showed Ⅳ pit pattern with both magnifying colonoscopy and stereomicroscopy. Magnifying colonoscopy showed high coincidence rate with stereomicroscopy. Conclusion Pit patterns are found to be very important in disguishing tumorous lesions from non-tumorous lesions, and to discover early colonic cancer. Ⅴ pit pattern indicates that the polyp is carcinomatous.
