RESUMO
Objective To study the plasma and intratumoral levels of ghrelin, leptin and their relationship and clinical significance in patients with pancreatic endocrine tumor.Methods Preoperative plasma levels of ghrelin and leptin were detected by ELISA in 11 patients with pancreatic endocrine tumors and 28 normal controls.Expressions of ghrelin and its receptor GHS-R 1A were tested in 11 tumors and 27 paired control tissues by immunohistochemistry staining, and they were correlated with the clinicopathological characteristics.Results The plasma levels of ghrelin was ( 16.0 ± 5.0) pg/ml, which was significantly lower than that in normal controls [ (21.0 ± 2.0) pg/ml, P = 0.047 ].The plasma levels of leptin was (0.34 ±0.03 ) ng/ml, which was not significantly different with that in normal controls [ 0.38 ± 0.04) ng/ml ].There was positive association between plasma levels of leptin and ghrelin (P =0.015 ), but was not associated with clinicopathological parameters.The plasma levels of leptin in control group was positively associated with BMI (P = 0.002), but they were not associated in patients with tumor.The expression rate of ghrelin in tumor tissue was significantly lower than that in control group (64% vs 100%, P = 0.004 ).But the expression rate of GHS-R I A was not significantly different between the two groups.The expression of ghrelin and GHS-R1A in tumor was not significantly associated with clinicopathological parameters.Conclusions The ghrelin and its receptor GHS-R 1A were extensively expressed in pancreatic endocrine tumors, and the serum levels of ghrelin and leptin was changed.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the change in nutritional status of perioperative gastrointestinal cancer patients. Methods The nutritional status of 207 gastrointestinal cancer patients who were to undergo elective radical surgery was evaluated by SGA within 48h of admission and 7 days after operation. The investigation results went through analysis. Results Body weight was significantly decreased 7 days after operation compared with 48h of admission, the prevalence of malnutrition 7 days after operation was higher than 48h of admission; weight loss, change of food intake and decreased functional activity were the related factors of change in nutritional status of perioperative gastrointestinal cancer patients. Conclusions There was a decreased nutritional status among perioperative gastrointestinal cancer patients, and appropriate nutrition intervention program and treatment should be taken to improve clinical outcomes according to the risk factors.
RESUMO
Objective To summarize and analyze clinical characteristics of glycogen storage disease (GSD)typeⅠcomplicated with hepatocellular carcinoma to improve clinical recognition to it.Methods First case of GSD type Ia complicated with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in China was reported and another 14 cases with detailed clinical data reported in literatures were reviewed in this paper.Results The case was man at age of 19 with chief complaint of hepatic mass founded casually.For all the 15 cases(other 14 from literature reports),mean age at diagnosis of HCC was 32.3 years and average time interval from diagnosis of GSD to diagnosis of HCC Was 23.1 years,as compared to 23.3 years and 14.6 years,respectively in three cases with both hepatitis B virus(HBV)and hepatitis C virus(HCV)seropositive.Serum level of alpha fetoprotein(AFP)was elevated in six patients.Tumor could be located at all lobes of the liver and mainly in the right lobe(eight of 15 cases),with varied size and solitary or multiple tumor.Conclusions Symptoms in GSD typeⅠcomplicated with HCC Was latent at onset.and AFP measurement was questionable in its diagnosis.It is important that physicians should keep more alert to risk of HCC in patients with GSD for its early diagnosis.
RESUMO
Objective To determine the prevalence of cervical type-specific human papillomavirus (HPV)infection as well as risk factors associated in Tibet Autonomous Region of China.Methods A cluster sampling study was performed in Lasa,Rikaze and Naqu of Tibet.An epidemiological questionnaire was applied and 3036 cervical specimens were obtained for liquid-based cytology and HPV DNA detection.Statistical analysis included Wald Chi-square and stepwise logistic regression model.Results The overall HPV prevalence of involved 3036 women was 9.19%(279/3036),of which 7.05%(214/3036)of the women were infected by high-risk types (including 14 sorts of types) and 2.14%(65/3036)by low-risk types(including 6 sorts of types).There were no significant differences of HPV prevalence between age groups(P=0.936),race(P=0.718)and areas(P=0.746),respectively.Twenty-one types of HPV were detected,of which HPV16(1.52%) was the most common type,followed by HPV33(1.42%).HPV58(1.22%),HPV52(1.15%),and HPV31(1.05%).HPV type distribution was varied by age.Of the 279 HPV infected women.14.3%(40/279)exhibited multiple HPV infections.Independent risk factors for HPV infection were smoking(P=0.027),number of sex partners(P=0.198)and early age of first intercourse(P=0.237).Conclusion The overall prevalence of HPV infection in Tibet Autonomous Region is lower than that in China or abroad,in which the most common genotype is HPV16 and the independent risk factors for HPV infection included early age of first intercourse,smoking,and number of Bex partners.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the role of hMSH2 in the pathogenesis of sporadic insulinomas and to determine whether the expression of hMSH2 could be used to differentiate benign sporadic insulinomas from malignant ones. Methods Fifty-five sporadic insulinomas (40 benign and 15 malignant tumors) resected from 50 patients were obtained. Expression of hMSH2 was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. DNA was obtained from micradissected tissue. Loss of heterozygnsity (LOH) of hMSH2 gene was detected by PCR-LOH. 6 microsatellite markers were selected on 3 chromosomes, and microsatellite instability (MSI) status of tumor tissue were detected by PCR. The findings were analyzed in relation to the clinicopathological characteristics. Results Down-regulation of hMSH2 expression was found in 13% of 55 sporadic insulinomas. LOH of the hMSH2 gene was not present in 55 insulinomas. High frequency MSI (MSI-H, MSI occurred in at least 2 out of 6 sites) was present in 36% (20/55) of all the insulinomas. Down-regulation of hMSH2 expression was found in 33% of the 15 malignant tumors, while it was 5% in benign tumors (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Down-regulation of mismatch repair gene hMSH2 may be correlated with the degree of tumor malignancy. The expression of hMSH2 could be used as a potential marker for distinguishing benign insulinoma from malignant ones.
RESUMO
Objective To improve the understanding of autoimmune disease related panereatitis by analyzing their clinical features.Methods The clinical features were analyzed retrospectively in 28 autoimmune disease related pancreatitis cases from Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH),according to the associated autoimmune diseases.Results (1)The average age was(40.0±16.1)years,and the ratio of male to female patients Was 1:6.There were 24 acute and 4 chronic pancreatitis in the 28 cases.(2)The common related autoimmune diseases were systemic lupus erythematosus(20/28)and Sjogren's syndrome(6/28).(3)The characteristics of the autoimmune diseases was multi-system involvement,such as hematologic system,kidney,liver,etc.(4)Clinical features of those acute pancreatitis shown that no distinct trigger exist for acute pancreatitis.and the radiological changing Was not prominent.(5)In laboratory examination,an obvious increase of CA199 coaid be seen,paralleling the severity of pancreatitis.(6)Glucocorticoids or immunosuppressors was effective,and the mortality rate of acute pancreatitis cases was 33.3%.ConclusionsAutoimmune disease related pancreatitis is dominant with acute pancreatitis and females is common,which may reflect the activity of autoimmune diseases.Autoimmune disease related acute pancreatitis has a high mortality rate.Glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressors may be useful to relieve the pancreatitis.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical features and management of pancreatic disease- associated portal hypertension.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in patients with portal hypertension complicating with pancreatic diseases in our hospital from January 1986 to April 2005. Medical records of these patients were reviewed,including data of demographics,etiologies,venous involvement,clinical presentation,laboratory tests,imaging studies,therapeutic modalities and out- comes.Results There were 59 cases of portal hypertension resulted from pancreatic diseases in our hos- pital,accounting for 4% of all portal hypertension in 19 years.The underlying pancreatic diseases were chronic pancreatitis(21 cases,35.6%),pancreatic carcinoma(20 cases,33.9%),acute pancreatitis (8 cases,13.6%),pancreatic pseudocyst(3 cases,5.1%).Of the 40 patients whose venous involve ment was identified,splenic vein obstruction occurred in 27 cases(67.5%),followed by portal vein obstruction(16 cases,40.0%).Mild or moderate splenomegaly was present in 48 cases(81.4%),with leukocytopenia as the most common manifestation of the 31 cases(52.5%)of concomitant hyper- splenism.Forty-five patients(76.3%)developed gastroesophageal varices(including 35 isolated gastric varices),among them,19 had bled(32.2%).Conservative treatment was effective in controlling acute bleeding,but could not prevent re-bleeding.Splenectomy was performed in 18 patients,mainly because of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.No postoperative bleeding occurred in the period of follow-up from 8 months to 9 years.Conclusions Pancreatic diseases may compromise portal vein and its tributaries, leading to generalized or regional portal hypertension.Pharmacological therapy can effectively control acute variceal bleeding,while surgical treatment is the appropriate procedure of choice in case of hemor- rhage recurrence.
RESUMO
Objective The effect of acidity and severity of gastric atrophy on Helicobactor pylori (H.pylori) colonization was studied. Methods 95 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and positive H.pylori test were categorized into groups.Group 1,48 cases having moderate atrophic antritis with various degrees of fundic atrophy.Group 2,47 cases having mild fundic atrophy with various degrees of antritis. Assessment was made of basic and maximum acid output (BAO, MAO ) as well as of gastrin. H.pylori was tested with Warthin-Starry staining. Results In group 1, H.pylori colonization reduced significantly (P0.05) was found between patients with severe and moderate atrophy in fundus, while H.pylori colonization declined more markedly (P0.05) between cases with moderate and severe antritis,whereas H.pylori colonization reduced more significantly in the latter than the former (P
