Objective To introduce the methods and the advancements of early diagnosis in primary carcinoma of gallbladder (PCG), and improve the early diagnostic rate of PCG. Methods Recent relevant literatures were reviewed. Results It was difficult in early diagnosis of PCG and with a poor prognosis. Comprehending case history and careful examination and being assisted by multiple imaging methods and molecular biology technology could markedly improve the early diagnostic rate. Conclusion Comprehending the progress will contribute a lot of improving the early diagnostic rate and selecting reasonable clinical methods to be used in early diagnosis of PCG.
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.
ObjectiveTo summarize the surgical treatment and explore factors which influencing prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. MethodsClinical data of 189 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma who treated in our hospital from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2010 and clinicopathological factors that might influence survival were analyzed retrospectively. A multivariate factor analysis was performed through Cox proportional hazard model. ResultsOf 189 cases, 62 cases received radical resection, 54 cases received palliative surgery, and 73 cases received non-resection surgery. Operative procedure (RR=0.165), differentiated degree (RR=2.692), lymph node metastasis (RR=3.014), neural infiltration (RR=2.857), and vascular infiltration (RR=2.365) were found to be the statistically significant factors that influenced survival by multivariate factor analysis through the Cox proportional hazard model. ConclusionsRadical resection is the best treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Skeletonized hepatoduodenal ligament, complete excision of infiltrated nerve and blood vessel are important influence factors to improve the prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the relationship between the bacterial spectrum difference of gallbladder mucosa and choledochus bile and clinical prognosis of gallstone pancreatitis. MethodsA synchronic bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test were carried out on 48 patients with gallstone pancreatitis. ResultsThe cases of positive gallbladder mucosa and choledochus bile were 13 (27.1%) and 31 (64.6%) respectively. The cases of double positivity were 12 (25.0%). The cultural strains of gallbladder mucosa and choledochus bile were significantly different. Some strains were only found in choledochus bile，whereas in gallbladder mucosa L-form bacteria predominated.ConclusionThe most common causative strain of gallstone pancreatitis is Bacterium coli. The drug-resistant strain emerges maybe due to bacterium immigration and delitescence in gallbladder mucosa. L-form bacteria should be considered when using antibiotics, because L-form bacteria have close relationship with the prognosis of gallstone pancreatitis.
Objective To observe the expression of Ezrin protein in primary carcinoma of gallbladder tissue and the levels of CEA and CA19-9 in serum of patients with primary carcinoma of gallbladder, and to explore the relationship between the expressions of these measurements and clinicopathologic characteristics. Methods Immunohistochemistry was applied to analyze the expression of Ezrin protein in primary carcinoma of gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis tissue. The levels of CEA and CA19-9 in serum and clinicopathologic characteristics of all including patients were detected with clinical measurement. All data were analyzed statistically. Results ①The positive rates of Ezrin protein in primary carcinoma of gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis tissue were 66.7% （40/60） and 30.8%（4/13）, respectively (χ2=5.57, Plt;0.05). ②There was no difference between the expression of Ezrin protein in primary carcinoma of gallbladder tissue and age or gender (Pgt;0.05). However, difference was significant between the Ezrin expression and degree of difference, pNevin stages, pTNM stages, lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis (Plt;0.05). ③There were no differences between the positive rates of CEA and CA19-9 in primary carcinoma of gallbladder and age or gender (Pgt;0.05). However, differences were significant between the positive rates of CEA and CA19-9 and pNevin stages, pTNM stages, degree of difference, lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis (Plt;0.05). ④There was some relationship between the expression of Ezrin protein and the positive rate of CEA (rs=0.213, Plt;0.05), but not with the positive rate of CA19-9 (rs=0.081, Pgt;0.05). Conclusions The high expression of Ezrin protein may promote the invasion and metastasis in primary carcinoma of gallbladder. It could be possible to decide the outcome of primary carcinoma of gallbladder through the combined analysis on the expression of Ezrin protein and the serum levels of CEA and CA19-9.
