    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To study the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E),which is closely correlated with malignant tumors,and its relationship to prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS:Western blotting was performed to quantify the elF4E protein expression in the normal human liver cell line L02 and the hepatoma cell lines Hep3B,HepG2,and Huh7.Forty-six hepatocellular carcinoma samples with complete clinical data were obtained from Changzheng Hospital during the period of December 2008 to July 2009.The expression of eIF4E in the tumor samples and their adjacent tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The relationship between the test results and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)prognosis was statistically analysed by using a COX proportional hazard model.RESULTS:Western blotting analysis showed that there were distinct eIF4E protein bands in all three of the hepatoma cell lines.In particular,the HepG2 cell line had the highest level of eIF4E protein expression.The L02 cell group had a low eIF4E expression.Immunohistochemical assay showed that there were 32 cases in which the tumour tissue expression was higher than their adjacent tissues,accounting for 69.57%.There were also 14 cases in which the tumour tissue expression was lower or no significant difference was found,accounting for 30.43%.COX proportional hazards model analysis showed that HCC prognosis was related to the depth of invasion,the overexpression of eIF4E and p53,possibly as independent HCC prognostic predictors.CONCLUSION:In summary,eIF4E expression is associated with liver cancer,and patients with high eIF4E expression levels have a higher risk of recurrence.

    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To determine if serum inter-cellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is an early marker of the diagnosis and prediction of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)within 24 h of onset of pain,and to compare the sensitivity,specificity and prognostic value of this test with those of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score and interleukin-6 (IL-6).METHODS:Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) were divided into two groups according to the Ranson's criteria:mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group and SAP group.Serum ICAM-1,APACHE Ⅱ and IL-6 levels were detected in all the patients.The sensitivity,specificity and prognostic value of the ICAM-1,APACHE Ⅱ score and IL-6 were evaluated.RESULTS:The ICAM-1 level in 36 patients with SAP within 24 h of onset of pain was increased and was significantly higher than that in the 50 patients with MAP and the 15 healthy volunteers (P < 0.01).The ICAM-1 level (25 ng/mL) was chosen as the optimum cutoff to distinguish SAP from MAP,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value (NPV),positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 61.11%,71.42%,0.6111,0.7142,2.1382 and 0.5445,respectively.The area under the curve demonstrated that the prognostic accuracy of ICAM-1 (0.712) was similar to the APACHE-Ⅱ scoring system (0.770) and superior to IL-6 (0.508) in distinguishing SAP from MAP.CONCLUSION:ICAM-1 test is a simple,rapid and reliable method in clinical practice.It is an early marker of diagnosis and prediction of SAP within the first 24 h after onset of pain or on admission.As it has a relatively low NPV and does not allow it to be a stand-alone test for the diagnosis of AP,other conventional diagnostic tests are required.

    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To investigate the prevalence and physicians'detection rate of depressive and anxiety disorders in gastrointestinal (GI) outpatients across China.METHODS:A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in the GI outpatient departments of 13general hospitals.A total of 1995 GI outpatients were recruited and screened with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).The physicians of the GI departments performed routine clinical diagnosis and management without knowing the HADS score results.SubJects with HADS scores ≥ 8 were subsequently interviewed by psychiatrists using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) to make further diagnoses.RESULTS:There were 1059 patients with HADS score ≥ 8 and 674 (63.64%) of them undertook the MINI interview by psychiatrists.Based on the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition),the adjusted current prevalence for depressive disorders,anxiety disorders,and comorbidity of both disorders in the GI outpatients was 14.39%,9.42% and 4.66%,respectively.Prevalence of depressive disorders with suicidal problems [suicide attempt or suicide-related ideation prior or current; module C (suicide) of MINI score ≥ 1] was 5.84% in women and 1.64% in men.The GI physicians' detection rate of depressive and anxiety disorders accounted for 4.14%.CONCLUSION:While the prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders is high in Chinese GI outpatients,the detection rate of depressive and anxiety disorders by physicians is low.

    查看更多>>摘要:The first-ever case of a 54-year-old woman who overdosed on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an attempt at suicide.Before that incident,she had not been treated for coexisting diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or depression.At the time of admission to the General Surgery Department,the patient reported pains in the epigastric region with accompanying nausea and vomiting with mucous content as well as the inability to ingest food orally.Despite parenteral and enteral feeding,the patient exhibited a drop in body mass.The histopathologic examination of a sample taken from the stomach during gastroscopy showed some non-specific necrotic and inflammatory masses with granulation.Intraoperatively,a very small,infiltrated stomach with an initial section of duodenum was identified.A total stomach resection together with the reconstruction of digestive tract continuity was performed using the Roux-Y method.Histopathologic examination of the stomach revealed a deep,chronic and exacerbated inflammatory condition with an extensive ulceration over the entire length of the stomach,reaching up to the pylorus.Additionally,numerous lymphatic glands with inflammatory reaction changes were observed.

    查看更多>>摘要:A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in October 2003,for further examination of two liver tumors.He was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)arising from decompensated hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis.Long-term lamivudine administration improved liver function dramatically despite repeated treatment for HCC.His Child-Pugh score was 9 points at start of lamivudine treatment,improving to 5 points after 1 year.His indocyanine green at 15 min after injection test score was 48% before lamivudine treatment,improving to 22% after 2 years and to 5% after 4 years.Radiofrequency ablation controlled the HCC foci and maintained his liver function.In April 2009,abdominal computed tomography revealed a tumor thrombus in the right portal vein.Since his indocyanine green test results had improved to less than 10%,we performed a right hepatectomy,which was successful.To our knowledge,there have been no documented reports of patients undergoing successful right hepatectomy for HCC arising from decompensated cirrhosis.The findings observed in our patient indicate the importance of nucleoside analogs for treating HBV-related HCC.
