From 1984 to 1993, 49 cases with varioussoft tissue defects around the knee were treated with pedicled calf myocutaneous flap, lateral sural cutaneous artery island skin flap, saphenous neurovascularskin flap and fasciocutaneous flap. The postoperation results were sucessful in 47 cases, and failure 2 cases, in one case with flap infection and theother with scar formation surrounding the knee. Both the failure cases were cured with split skin graft. The patient were followed up for an average of three and a halfyears, the knee function was almost completely regained, and the blood supply of the flaps, the elasticity and colour of the flaps were similiar to that of the normal skin, without being cumbersome. The sensation of the saphenous neurovascular flaps and the lateral suralcutaneous artery island flaps was preserved, except partial numbness was presented at the distal part of the flaps. Operative indications and selection of cases were discussed.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the clinical and pathological features and review the progress of diagnosis and treatment in patients with brain metastasis (BM) from colorectal cancer (CRC), so as to provide a reference for the whole process management for patients with BM from CRC in China.MethodThe latest research results and previous literatures about patients with BM from CRC were reviewed.ResultsThe prognosis of BM from CRC was poor, its molecular pathological mechanism was complex and diverse, and some risk factors associated with the occurrence of BM had been identified. Typical imaging features of BM from CRC were helpful to the diagnosis of patients. At present, radiotherapy was still the main treatment. Bevacizumab treatment or immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy was expected to improve the survival of BM from CRC.ConclusionScientific and standardized prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are beneficial to reduce incidence of BM from CRC and improve survival.
Rectus femoris muscle of the lower abdomen was used as myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of the breast in 4 patients, of which, in 2 cases the reconstruction was carried out immediately following the radical mastectomy for breast cancer by using trancfer of the pedicled myocutaneous flap, and in the other two cases, the vascularized free myocutaneous flap was used 2 months and 5 years after the radical mastectomy, respectively. The vascularized free myocutaneous flaps were survived, however, in the pedicled myocutaneous flap group, the fat of the flaps had liquefaction 23 weeks after operation. The latter were healed after repeated dressings. The external appearance of the 4 reconstructed breasts lookedsattisfactory. The patients wete follwed up for 10 to 18 months, 2 patients hadno ill effects, while the 2 pedicled myocutaneous flaps, in which 1 patient hadbulging of the weakened abdominal wall, and the other had lost from follow up.
Objective To investigate the effect of the 8-bromum-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP) on the telomerase activity and changes of cell cycle in retinoblastoma （RB） cells. Methods The cultured RB cells were divided into the experimental group (8-Br-cAMP) and control group. After cultured for 24, 48 and 72 hours in vitro, the telomerase activity of RB cells was detected by polymerase chain reaction enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PCR-ELISA) and the changes of cell cycle were detected by flow-cytometry. Results The difference of telomerase activity was significant between the experimental groups and control group (Plt;0.01). There was a negative correlation between the A value of absorbance and the time in the experimental groups (r=-0.778 9, F=33.936, Plt;0.01). The changes of the cell cycle were that the percentages increased in G1 phase and decreased in S phases. Conclusion 8-Br-cAMP may weaken telomerase activity, affect the cell cycle, and inhibit the proliferation of RB cells. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2004，20：358-360)
【Abstract】 Objective To research the significance on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) in human breast carcinoma, benign diseases and normal mammary gland by self-constructed tissue chips and research its relationship to regional lymph node metastasis. Methods The tissue chips containing specimens of breast carcinoma, breast benign disease and normal mammary gland were designed and constructed. The expression of VEGF-C in the specimens was detected by the tissue chips and immunohistochemical method, and researched the relationship of the expression of VEGF-C in breast cancer with regional lymph node metastasis. Results The positive rates of VEGF-C in the centre and borderline of carcinoma and distant mammary gland （the distance from the tumor’s bouncary ＞3 cm） were 69.4%（68 /98）, 69.1%（67 /97） and 52.9%（36 /68）, respectively， but not in benign disease and normal mammary gland specimens. The positive rates of VEGF-C in the centre and borderline of carcinoma in lymph node metastasis group 〔75.0%（51/68）， 76.1%(51/67)〕 were significantly higher than that of no metastasis group 〔25.0%（17/68），23.9%(16/67)〕, P＜0.05. The positive rates of VEGF-C in the centre and borderline of carcinoma and distant mammary gland were no correlation with size, type and clinical stage of tumor. Conclusion The tissue chips is high efficiency and well quality control in multiple factor investigation. There are overexpression of VEGF-C in primary breast cancer, and that may play an important role in lymph node metastasis.
【Abstract】Objective To explore the clinical significance of β-catenin expression in pancreatic carcinoma.Methods The immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of β-catenin in the specimens of 46 patients with pancreatic carcinoma and the results were statistically analyzed.Results The abnormal expression rate on the membrane was 54.3%, the poorer the differentiation, the higher the abnormal expression rate. The levels of the cases in whom metastasis occurred were much higher than those without metastasis. The abnormal cytoplasm expression rate was 21.7%,which had not significant correlation with the clinical indexes, such as staging, tumor size, grading and metastasis. In 23 patients who accepted intervention chemotherapy before operation, the cytoplasm expression rate in those with tumor mass smaller was 0, which was evidently lower than that of those without tumor mass change (33.3%). Moreover, the abnormal membrane and cytoplasm expression rates had remarkable concordance (63.0%).Conclusion The abnormal membrane expression of β-catenin may accelerate metastasis, and the abnormal expression of β-catenin in cytoplasm may result in cell proliferation.
ObjectiveTo establish 16HBE cell lines stably expressing glutathione S-transferase mu 5 (GSTM5) gene, and explore the mechanism of GSTM5 nuclear translocation. MethodsRecombinant lentiviral expression vector containing GSTM5 gene was constructed and lentivirus was produced. After lentivirus infection of 16HBE cells, 16HBE-GSTM5 cell lines were obtained by screening with puromycin. Expression of GSTM5 in different cells was examined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The nuclear translocation of GSTM5 was observed by confocal laser scanning microscope, after the 16HBE-GSTM5 cell lines were treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α; 10 ng/ml) for 0.5 hour. ResultsLentiviral expression plasmids, PLVX-puro-3*flag-SBP-GSTM5-C and PLVX-puro-GSTM5-SBP-3*flag-N, were constructed and lentiviral particles were successfully packed. After infected with lentivirus and screened by puromycin, two cell lines, 16HBE-GSTM5-SBP-3*flag-N and 16HBE-3*flag-SBP-GSTM5-C, were obtained. GSTM5 expression in these two cell lines was significantly higher compared with the control group and parental cells. After treated with TNF-α for 0.5 hour, the nuclear translocation of GSTM5 in 16HBE-GSTM5-SBP-3*flag-N was much more obviously than that in 16HBE-3*flag-SBP-GSTM5-C. ConclusionThe N-terminal region of GSTM5 is critical for nuclear translocation induced by TNF-α, which is mediated by a novel and non-classical nuclear localization signal.
