Background: Ortner's syndrome, also known as cardio-vocal cord syndrome, is characterized by vocal cord paralysis secondary to compression of recurrent laryngeal nerve from a cardiopulmonary lesion. Clinicians may fail to diagnose or misdiagnose Ortner's syndrome because of its low incidence and complex pathogenesis. Here, we report a patient with an aortic arch aneurysm presenting solely with vocal cord paralysis and review existing literature to better understand Ortner's syndrome pathogenesis. Case presentation: On August 23, 2021, a 74-year-old man with cholecystolithiasis and acute cholecystitis was admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University. During medical history collection and physical examination, the patient's voice was unexpectedly hoarse. The patient then underwent laryngoscopy, computed tomography (CT) scanning of the chest, and enhanced CT scanning. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the thoracic aorta revealed an unstable aneurysm at the anterior of the aortic arch. The left recurrent laryngeal nerve was compressed by the aneurysm, leading to left vocal cord paralysis and voice hoarseness. Discussion: Hoarseness caused by vocal cord paralysis suggests damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Examination based on the anatomical path, from the base of the skull to the diaphragm, especially from the vagus nerve origin area to the end of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, is helpful for early diagnosis of neck and thoracic cavity disorders, which could prevent misdiagnosis of acute and critical diseases.
恶性腹膜间皮瘤(malignant peritoneal mesothelio-ma,MPM)是一种来源于腹膜上皮或间皮组织的恶性肿瘤,几乎无敏感和特异的临床表现、实验室指标及影像学特征.诊断恶性腹膜间皮瘤的金标准是病理学及免疫组化,导致该病早期难以发现,且容易误诊,确诊时多为晚期[1].本文报道1例我院2019年10月收治的MPM患者,并对既往文献进行综述,旨在提高对MPM的认识,以便提高对MPM的诊治水平.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are important proangiogenic factors in tumor procession. The autocrine and paracrine bFGF and the VEGF in tumor tissue can promote tumor angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. A VEGF/bFGF Complex Peptide (VBP3) was designed on the basis of epitope peptides from both VEGF and bFGF to elicit in vivo production of anti‐bFGF and anti‐VEGF antibodies. In this study, we reported on the production of recombinant VBP3 using high cell density fermentation. Fed‐batch fermentation for recombinant VBP3 production was conducted, and the production procedure was optimized in a 10‐L fermentor. The fraction of soluble VBP3 protein obtained reached 78% of total recombinant protein output under fed‐batch fermentation. Purified recombinant VBP3 could inhibit tumor cell proliferation in vitro and stimulate C57BL/6 mice to produce high titer anti‐VEGF and anti‐bFGF antibodies in vivo . A melanoma‐grafted mouse model and an immunohistochemistry assay showed that tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis were significantly inhibited in VBP3‐vaccinated mice. These results demonstrated that soluble recombinant VBP3 could be produced by large‐scale fermentation, and the product, with good immunogenicity, elicited production of high‐titer anti‐bFGF and anti‐VEGF antibodies, which could be used as a therapeutic tumor vaccine to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) is one of the most important angiogenic factors to promote tumor growth, progression and metastasis. Neutralizing antibodies against FGF-2 may suppress the growth of tumor cells by blocking the FGF-2 signaling pathway. In this study, a disulfide-stabilized diabody (ds-Diabody) that specifically targets FGF-2 was designed. Compared to its parent antibody, the introduction of disulphide bonds in the diabody could significantly increase the stability of ds-Diabody and maintain its antigen binding activity. The ds-Diabody against FGF-2 could effectively inhibit the tube formation and migration of vascular endothelial cells and block the proliferation and invasion of human breast cancer cells. In the mouse model of breast cancer xenograft tumors, the ds-Diabody against FGF-2 could significantly inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Moreover, the densities of microvessels stained with CD31 and lymphatic vessels stained with LYVE1 in tumors showed a significant decrease following treatment with the ds-Diabody against FGF-2. Our data indicated that the ds-Diabody against FGF-2 could inhibit tumor angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and tumor growth.

The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) surviving and differentiating into hepatocyte-like cells in partially hepatectomized model rats. MSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord and cultured with collagenase digestion. Cell surface markers were detected and fifth generation UC-MSCs were labeled with PKH26. The partially hepatectomized model rats were injected with the labeled human umbilical cord MSCs and transplanted through the portal vein. The survival of the labeled cells, in differentiation conditions and the expression of hepatic marker albumin were observed at post-transplantation 1, 2 and 3 weeks under a fluorescence microscope. It was found that the human umbilical cord MSCs could be cultured and amplified in vitro. Following transplantation to the partially hepatectomized liver of the model rat, the cells survived and expresses the hepatic marker albumin in vivo. After being labeled with PKH26, the cells were visualized as red fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope. In the frozen sections of the liver, the marked cells scattered around and most of them expressed albumin with green fluorescence under the fluorescence microscope. In conclusion, the transplanted human umbilical cord MSCs survived and differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells. The human umbilical cord MSCs may therefore be a main source of hepatocytes in transplantation.

In the pathogenesis of asthma, central sensitization is suggested to be an important neural mechanism, and neurotrophins and cytokines are likely to be the major mediators in the neuroimmune communication pathways of asthma. However, their impact on the central nervous system in allergic asthma remains unclear. We hypothesize that central neurogenic inflammation develops in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, and nerve growth factor (NGF) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) are important mediators in its development. An asthma model of rats was established by sensitization and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA). For further confirmation of the role of LIF in neurogenic inflammation, a subgroup was pretreated with intraperitoneally (i.p.) LIF antibody before OVA challenge. The levels of LIF and NGF were measured with reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry stain in lung tissue, airway-specific dorsal root ganglia (DRG, C7-T5) and brain stem of asthmatic rats, anti-LIF pretreated rats and controls. A significantly increased number of LIF- and NGF-immunoreactive cells were detected in lung tissue, DRG and the brain stem of asthmatic rats. In the asthma group a significantly increase level of mRNA encoding LIF and NGF in lung tissue was detected, but not in DRG and the brain stem. Pretreatment with LIF antibody decreased the level of LIF and NGF in all tissues. LIF is an important mediator in the crosstalk between nerve and immune systems. Our study demonstrate that the increased level of LIF and NGF in DRG and brain stem may be not based on result from de novo synthesis, but rather on result from retrograde nerve transport or passage across the blood-brain-barrier.
Objective To compare the applied value of the pressure aggravation test and breath aggravation test in the diagnosis of early acute appendicitis. Methods A total of 101 cases with epigastralgia, middle or upper abdomen pain, disease duration within 6 hours undergoing pressure aggravation test and breath aggravation test respectively in our hospital between October 2010 and December 2012 were prospectively enrolled. By comparing with the postoperative pathological diagnosis (early acute appendicitis and other abdominal pain), the sensitivity and specificity of these two tests were calculated. Through analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the diagnostic value of early acute appendicitis was evaluated. Results Fifty-two cases of early acute appendicitis and 49 cases of other abdominal pain were diagnosed by postoperative pathologic results. The sensitivity and specificity of the pressure aggravation test were 87.5% and 72.1% and of the breath aggravation test were 53.8% and 83.7% respectively. The area under the ROC curve of the pressure aggravation test was 0.786 (95% CI: 0.693-0.878), similar to that of the breath aggravation test (0.688, 95% CI: 0.583-0.792). Conclusion The pressure aggravation test has higher value to diagnose early acute appendicitis, while the breath aggravation test has better specificity.
