The results of 2389 patients exmained by colonofiverscope in past nine years are reported. Polyps were found in 561 cases, including 1256 polyps in the large intestine and 82 polyps in the terminal ileum. All 1299 polyps were removed with biopsy forceps. Pathology demonstrated that there were 406 adenomas, including 89 atypical hyperplasia and 23 cases with malignant change and 932 non-canerous polyps with 102 atypical hyperplasia. Since adenoma is seen to be a precancerous change, the polypectomy by colonofiberscope , ecpecially atypical hyperplastic polyps may decrease morbidity of large intestinal cancer. Cancer associated with adenoma may be as high as 51.28%, so the recrudescence of polyps may possibly be found even afer the cancer removal. These data showed that an early discovery of small malignant adenoma is key to improve efficiency.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo review recent studies on Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) and to improve the knowledge about MTS.MethodsThe literatures in recent years on clinic and gene research of MTS were reviewed.ResultsMTS was is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by the predisposition to both sebaceous tumors (or multiple keratoacanthomas) and internal malignancies. Gastrointestinal cancers were the most common kind of internal malignancies in MTS patients(61%)，followed by genitourinary cancers(22%). In most cases(56%)，sebaceous tumors appeared after the emergence of internal maliganancy. Both hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer(HNPCC) and MTS were caused by germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes. MTS patients exhibit significantly more mutations in the hMSH2 than in the hMLH1. In these cases , both internal and skin tumors showed the characteristic of high microsatellite instability(MSI).ConclusionThe presence of sebaceous tumors(or multiple keratoacanthomas) necessitates the search for internal malignancies. It is mandatory that patients with MTS, as patients with HNPCC, should be regularly followed up to search new malignancies. Evaluation and monitoring of the family members of patients are also necessary. The patients and their families should be counseled for genetic test. Sequencing the hMSH2 gene should be the prior selection of further examinations when clinical manifestations, history and laboratory tests suggest MTS.
Out of 4500 patients with gastro-intesinal disorders coming to our department from January 1970 to May 1994,31 of them were fund to be suffering from gastric adenomotous polyps(GAP).The detective rat of GAP was 0.7% with two malignant adenomatous polyps detected and 13 percent of GAP cases complicated with adenocarcinoma of the stomach(4/31).The size of the polyps is closely relevant to the malignant change.Twelve patients underwent surgical therapy and 19 gastrocopic polypectomy.On follow up.2 cases of recurrence were detected in both surgical and endoscopic removal proups.
bjective To study the change of mucins of expression in lithic cholecystitis and cholecystic adenomatiod polyps. MethodsMUC1 and MUC3 were detected in the mucosa of human normal gallbladders (20 cases, control group), of calcareous cholecystitis (38 cases, calcareous group) and of adenomatoid polyps (18 cases, polyp group) with immunohistochemical stains and Western blotting methods. ResultsThe positive rate and optical density values of MUC1 were increased significantly in calcareous and polyp group vs control group (P＜0.01), otherwise, MUC3 was decreased markedly (P＜0.01). Conclusion The expressions of MUC1, MUC3 were not synchronization in different lesions of cholecyst.
