Abstract

The EEA stapler, for accomplishing stapled anastomoses in the gastrointestinal tract seems of a great interest. It opens new possibilities in case of carcinoma of the middle part of the rectum. It also makes the re-anastomose after a Hartmann procedure much easier. The results of 63 anastomoses on the colon or the rectum are reported.

Independent variation in susceptibilities of six different mouse strains to induction of pepsinogen-altered pyloric glands and gastric tumor intestinalization by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea.

Strain differences in susceptibility regarding stomach carcinogenesis due to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea were examined in males of six strains of mice: BALB/cA (BALB), C57BL/6N (C57BL6), CBA/JN (CBA), C3H/HeN (C3H), DBA/2N (DBA/2), and CD-1 (ICR). The frequency of pepsinogen-altered pyloric glands (PAPGs), putative precancerous lesions, was highest (19.6+/-9.9%) in the BALB and lowest in the ICR (12.3+/-5.7%) mice (P<0.05). Incidences of adenocarcinomas at week 52 were 59.3% (16 of 27) and 18.5% (5 of 27), respectively (P<0.005). Invasion also tended to be deepest in BALB compared with the other strains. Intestinal alkaline phosphatase-positive intestinal type cells were observed heterogeneously in some hyperplasias, adenomas and adenocarcinomas consisting of gastric type cells. Thus, intestinalization appeared to occur at random in both non-neoplastic and monoclonal neoplastic lesions, making it unlikely that IAP-positive cells could be precursors of gastric tumors. In contrast, the data suggest a direct histogenetic role for the PAPG, a useful preneoplastic marker lesion in mouse strains.

Methionine restriction induces apoptosis of prostate cancer cells via the c-Jun N-terminal kinase-mediated signaling pathway.

Tumors are relatively more sensitive to methionine restriction than corresponding normal tissues, a phenomenon known as methionine auxotrophy. The current studies were undertaken to elucidate the molecular mechanisms for methionine auxotrophy of prostate cancer cells. We found that the activity of c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) increased dramatically in response to methionine restriction. Over expression of wild type JNK1 by transient transfection enhanced apoptosis in response to methionine restriction, whereas over expression of a kinase inactive mutant of JNK1 protected PC-3 human prostate cancer cells from apoptosis. We conclude that JNK1 plays a critical role in signaling cancer cells to undergo apoptosis in response to methionine restriction.

Peroxynitrite-mediated stress is associated with proliferation of human metastatic colorectal carcinoma in the liver.

3-Nitrotyrosine (3-NT), a product of peroxynitrite reaction, is abundantly observed in hepatocytes adjacent to human metastatic colorectal carcinoma. To elucidate its biological significance, we undertook to identify nitric oxide (NO)-producing cells and apoptosis under oxidative stress. We observed strong inducible NO-synthase (iNOS) immunoreactivity in the hepatocytes adjacent to metastatic tumor, revealing an identical pattern to 3-NT immunostaining. Furthermore, intense 3-NT immunostaining of hepatocytes was associated with apoptosis whereas carcinoma cells near those hepatocytes presented high proliferating-cell nuclear antigen. Our results suggest that contact of metastatic tumor induces apoptosis in adjacent hepatocytes through peroxynitrite, thus permitting the proliferation of cancer cells.
