Objective To understand the latest research developments of the formation mechanism of psammoma body in human tumors and related issues. Methods Related domestic and foreign literatures were widely referred, analyzed, and reviewed. Results Psammoma body is unique pathological calcification in some tumors, which is arranged in concentric, laminar circles microscopically. Psammoma body is commonly seen in thyroid papillary carcinoma, meningiomas, ovarian serous papillary carcinoma, and so on. Conclusions Although arranged in concentric, laminar circles microscopically in tumor, the formation process of psammoma body is not entirely the same in different tumors. A comprehensive and objective understanding of psammoma body would be useful in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
目的探討肝癌手術切除后的序貫綜合治療,以達到有效防治腫瘤復發的目的。方法從我科收治的肝癌患者中挑選3例手術治療后進行序貫綜合治療并取得良好效果病例,對其臨床資料進行分析,從中獲取有關肝癌術后治療的經驗。結果3例肝癌患者在我科手術后接受了積極的預防復發措施,雖最終均出現復發,但對待復發的腫瘤均采取積極的應對措施,獲得了長期生存。結論對于肝癌手術切除后的患者進行積極的序貫性綜合治療有較好的臨床意義,鼓勵對術后復發病例進行積極序貫綜合治療。
Objective To study the relationship between metalloproteinases (MMPs) and breast cancer. Methods The literature in recent years on the relationship between the expression of MMPs and breast cancer was reviewed. Results The balance between MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) is keeping normally kept in human body. Many of the studies showed that the expression of MMPs is increased in breast cancer. Conclusion The growth, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer is closely related with the increased expression of MMPs. This suggests that MMPs is a valuable prognostic marker and TIMPs would be a novel drug against cancer.
Objective To study the clinical significance of DNA content and expression of nm23-H1, C-erb B-2 and p53 oncoproteins in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods DNA content was measured after DNA feulgen’s dyeing, the expression of nm23-H1, C-erb B-2 and p53 oncoproteins was detected immunohistochemically. Results The incidence of aneuploid DNA content was 50.0% (12/24) in ≤5 cm group, and was 82.1% (23/28) in >5cm group; aneuploid DNA content was related with liver metastasis and cancerous thrombosis. The expression of nm23-H1 in HCC with liver metastasis was higher than that without metastasis. The positive rate of p53 in HCC with canerous thrombosis was higher than that without cancerous thrombosis. The positive rates of nm23-H1 and p53 in HCC with aneuploid DNA content were higher than those with diploid DNA content. The positive rate of C-erb B-2 did not have significantly difference between groups. Postoperative survival rates were possibly related with DNA content as well as expression of nm23-H1, and p53 oncoproteins. Conclusion Aneuploid DNA conten, expression of nm23-H1 and p53 oncoproteins are closely related with the invasiveness of HCC, and have remarkably clinical significance.
目的:探討MSCT對結腸癌診斷價值。方法:收集我院手術病理證實且經MSCT檢查的結腸癌患者,對其CT表現進行分析,并與纖維結腸鏡(FC),鋇灌腸對比研究。結果:所有收集的結腸癌患者,MSCT均能多角度,多方法顯示病變。結論: MSCT檢查對結腸癌具有較高的診斷價值且對臨床治療有重大指導意義。
Objective To clarify relationship between signal heterogeneity on hepatobiliary phase of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MRI and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods From January 2014 to January 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, a total of 77 patients with the pathologically proved HCC underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI prior to surgery were included in this study. On the basis of the signal heterogeneity in the hepatobiliary phase, the included patients were designed to homogeneous hypointensity group and heterogeneous hyperintensity group. The disease-free survival time were compared between the 2 groups and it’s influencing factors were analyzed. Results Seventy-seven patients with HCC were included, including 45 cases of homogeneous hypointensity and 32 cases of heterogeneous hyperintensity. There were no significant differences in the age, gender, etiology, liver function, alpha-fetoprotein, differentiated degree, Child-Pugh grade, lesion diameter, lesion border, and number of lesions between the 2 groups (P>0.05). However, the HCC patients with heterogeneous hyperintensity had a later BCLC staging (P=0.001). The disease-free survival time of the patients with homogeneous hypointensity and heterogeneous hyperintensity was (17.0±9.8) months and (12.4±10.4)months, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the disease-free survival time in the patients with homogeneous hypointensity was significantly better than that in the patients with heterogeneous hyperintensity (P=0.020). The results of univariate analysis showed that the other confounding factors had no effect on the disease-free survival time of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (P>0.05) except for the signal of hepatobiliary phase (P<0.05). Furthermore, the hepatobiliary phase signal, BCLC stage, and degree of differentiation, which might be clinically considered as potentially influencing for the prognosis of patients with HCC, were included in the Cox multivariate proportional hazard regression model and found that the heterogeneous hyperintensity was still the risk factor of the disease-free survival rate in patients with HCC (P=0.047). Conclusion Signal heterogeneity on hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI is related to prognosis of patients with HCC, heterogeneous hyperintensity may indicate a lower disease-free survival rate.
