【Abstract】ObjectiveTo evaluate the advances in minimally invasive surgery treatment for hepatolithiasis. MethodsLiteratures about the advances in minimally invasive surgery treatment for hepatolithiasis were collected and reviewed. ResultsHepatectomy and bile duct exploration using laparoscopy can get better effect. Fibrocholedochoscopy play an important role in the course of operation and after operation for hepatolithiasis. ConclusionThe individualization treatment program should be used for hepatolithiasis. Association application of multipathway minimally invasive operation, such as laparoscopy, fibrocholedochoscopy and so on, can increase the cure rate of hepatolithiasis.
Objective To design and construct the eukaryotic expressed vector of suicide genes, which contained 5 copies of hypoxia-responsive element (5HRE), promoter of alpha-fetoprotein gene (AFPp） and nitroreductase from Escherichia coli. Methods The constructing processes were as follows: ①The design of primer: Suicide genes of NTR in the Escherichia coli, which contained 6his-tag gene (6his-tag), were cloned by overlapping PCR. ②The construction of 5HRE: The single strand of synthetized HRE oligonucleotide was annealed, and 5HRE was constructed by multiple recombinant clone. ③The recombination of NTR gene, 5HRE, AFPp and pIRES2-EGFP: pIRES2-EGFP, which had removed the instant early promoter of cytomegalovirus, was recombined with NTR gene, 5HRE, AFPp. In this way, the eukaryotic expressed vector of pIRES2-EGFP-5HRE-AFPp-NTR, which carried NTR gene, 5HRE, AFPp was finally constructed. Results NTR gene, which contained the fusion of 684-base pair and 6his-tag gene, was cloned successfully, and its sequence was coincident with the result published by Genbank. A 221-base pair of 5HRE was also constructed, which was in accordance with the expected sequences. The integrity of the eukaryotic expressed vector was verified by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequence analysis, respectively. Conclusion The eukaryotic expressed vector of pIRES2-EGFP-5HRE-AFPp-NTR is successfully constructed, which may be used for its further investigation in vitro.
Objective To study the effects of L-arginine （L-Arg） on cell proliferation, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and cell cycle in human colon carcinoma cell line LS174 through nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Methods LS174 cells were cultured in medium with L-Arg at different concentrations for different times. MTT method was employed to evaluate the level of the cell proliferation. The production of NO in culture supernatants of LS174 cell was detected with enzyme reduction of nitrate. The distribution of the cell cycle was detected with the flow cytometry (FCM). The expression level of iNOS in the cells was determined by Western blot and SP immunocytochemical staining method. Results The growth of LS174 was promoted by the L-Arg at low concentration (0.125 mmol/L) and inhibited at high concentrations (0.5， 2， 8 and 32 mmol/L). The level of NO was increased with the increasing concentration of L-Arg in culture medium. To compare with the control group, the ratio of cells at S phase was increased after 48 hours’ treatments with high concentrations (0.5, 2, 8 and 32 mmol/L) of L-Arg (P＜0.05, P＜0.01); while there was no obvious difference after treatments with low concentration (0.125 mmol/L) of L-Arg (Pgt;0.05). With the increase of the concentration of L-Arg, the expression of iNOS was increased as compared with control group. The higher the concentration of L-Arg was, the better the effect. Conclusion L-Arg can induce the expression of iNOS resulting in increase the production of nitric oxide (NO). Low concentration of L-Arg can promote the growth of LS174 cells, while high concentration ones can inhibit growth and proliferation. The high concentration of L-Arg could induce S phase arrestion in the cell cycle.
Objective To obtain the polypeptides specifically binding to gastric cancer BGC823 cell from a Ph.D-12 TM phage display peptide library (PDPL), to search the markers of gastric cancer for early diagnosis and treatment. Methods The gastric cancer BGC823 cell was used as the antigen and the immortalized gastric epithelial GES cell was used as control for 3 rounds subtraction biopanning from PDPL at room temperature. The positive and specific binding clones were identified by cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunochemistry staining. Those DNA sequences of identified clones were sequenced, polypeptides were marked by fluorescein FITC peptide tag, and polypeptides affinity and specificity of gastric cancer cells and tissues were identified. Results After 3 rounds of panning, 20 phage clones were identified by ELISA, one of which （GC-11） was specially binding to the BGC823. Cell and tissue immunofluorescence assay further presented a high affinity of fluorescein-labeled peptide FITC-GC-11 with BGC823 and gastric cancer tissue.Conclusion A peptide GC-11 which is specific binding to gastric cancer BGC823 cell and gastric cancer tissue has been selected from PDPL.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of primary small intestinal tumor (PSIT). MethodsEighty-eight cases of PSIT were analyzed in our hospital retrospectively. Results Thirty-six cases were diagnosed before operation, 52 cases were misdiagnosed and the percentage amounted to 59.1%. The major clinical manifestations of PSIT were abdominal pain (66 cases, 75.0%), obstruction (56 cases, 63.6%), abdominal mass (51 cases, 58.0%) and stool with blood (48 cases, 54.5%).The major pathological types of PSIT were adenocarcinoma (55.7%), sarcoma of smooth muscle (25.0%), lymphoma (13.6%), fatty sarcoma (5.7%). The tumors of 36 cases located in jejunum (40.9%), 34 cases in ileum (38.6%) and 18 cases in duodenum (20.5%).Conclusion It is difficult to diagnose PSIT before operation. The following advice could help to get a correct diagnosis: ① Surgeons should be alert when meeting a patient with the above symptoms, and then collect and analyze the clinical data comprehensively. ②Patients over 40 years with complaints of inexplicable abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, dyspepsia and abdominal mass should be examined appropriately by gastrointestinal X-ray, gastrointestinal endoscopy, ultrasonography, CT and angiography of superior mesenteric artery. ③When the diagnosis can’t be confirmed, an exploratory operation should be performed immediately to avoid the delay of treatment. ④The treatment of PSIT includes radical resection of small intestine and chemotherapy according to the pathological results of tumor.
