Objective To detect and analize the expressions and it’s clinical significance of apoptosis factors in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis tissues by using antibody chip technology. Methods The liver tissue specimens (including the edge of lesions and normal liver tissues) of surgical resection of 6 patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University were collected. The tissue protein was extracted and the level of apoptosis was detected by antibody chip technology. The data were analyzed by AAH-APO-G1 software. Results The expression levels of 5 kinds of apoptosis factors (Bad, Fas, IGFBP-3, P21 and XIAP) in the liver tissues of the marginal zone of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis were compared with that of the normal liver tissues, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression levels of Bad, Fas, IGFBP-3 and P21 were up-regulated, and the expression level of XIAP was down regulated. Conclusions Apoptosis-related factors play a role in the progression of the hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, there may be contact with the immune escape mechanisms, while promote apoptosis factor and inhibitory apoptosis factor that may exist the function imbalance, so more in-depth exploration the mechanism of apoptosis factors on hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in diagnosis and treatment have important significance.
Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of bone hydatid disease in China by literature review. Methods We searched the databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang for case reports of bone hydatid disease published from 2000 to 2015 in China. Data were extracted by using a standardized form and a retrospective clinical analysis was performed. Results A total of 21 relevant literatures published from 2000 to 2015 were included, including 87 cases of bone hydatid disease treated from 1975 to 2015. The regional distribution of bone hydatid disease was mainly concentrated in the animal husbandry areas in China. In terms of diagnosis basis, imaging examination was mentioned in 54 cases (62.1%), laboratory examination was mentioned in 32 cases (36.8%), and pathologic examination was mentioned in 8 cases (9.2%), etc. Surgical treatment was the main treatment, and some treatments were combined with chemotherapy. The outcomes of bone hydatid disease were relatively poor. In the 44 cases whose outcomes were reported, 26 cases (59.1%) had recurrence, 18 cases were cured (40.9%), 10 cases (22.7%) underwent re-operation, and 2 cases (4.5%) died. Conclusions Bone hydatid disease is rare. Surgical treatment is still the main method for treating bone hydatid disease. The rate of recurrence of bone hydatidosis is relatively high, so it is very important to explore new methods for diagnosis and treatment of bone hydatid disease.
ObjectiveTo summarize regional and body distributions, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of echinococcosis outside liver in China. MethodsThe published literatures about echinococcosis outside liver in China (not including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions) from 2000 to 2015 were searched in the databases of CNKI and Wanfang. Data were extracted by using a standardized form and a retrospective clinical analysis was performed. ResultsA total of 66 published literatures about echinococcosis outside liver and data of 884 cases reported were collected. The regional proportions of cases reported were different, five high regions were Xinjiang (68.73%), Tibet (8.77%), Ningxia (6.75%), Qinghai (6.41%), Gansu (5.62%). The organ distributions of cases reported were also different, five high organs were lung (61.09%), bone (9.95%), brain (9.73%), spleen (8.60%), and kidney (6.22%). The main clinical symptoms of patients with echinococcosis outside liver included general asymptoms and organ dysfunction, and the most common examinations were X-ray (30.77%), B ultrasound (7.47%),CT(17.43%), MR (1.59%), and laboratory (36.31%). The main therapy choice was operation (73.30%), and some patients were performed operation combined with drug therapy. ConclusionRegional distribution of echinococcosis outside liver is almost the same as total echinococcosis, and distributed more in organs rich in blood supply, its clinical diagnosis mainly depends on imaging and immunology examination, and operation is still the main therapy choice.
