Wilms' tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is an extremely uncommon kidney tumor of adulthood. We reported a adult man with a left kidney mass diagnosed as Wilms' tumor. Case presentation: A 25-year-old man was hospitalized due to injury of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee.

Given the molecular variations underlying metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unknown; in our previous work, we found copying number of protocadherin-17 (PCDH-17) was significantly deleted in HCC tissues that occurred to metastasize compared with that in the primary HCC without metastasis. Therefore, we hypothesized that PCDH-17 may suppress the metastasis of HCC.

Recent studies have shown that NUF2 (Ndc80 kinetochore complex component) play important roles in multiple human cancers. In our previous report, NUF2 expression was stronger in tumor tissues than in normal pancreatic tissues. However, whether and how NUF2 play a role in pancreatic cancer progression remains largely unknown.

Aim: To investigate the effects and mechanism of decorin( DCN) on the proliferation of HuH7 hepatoma carcinoma cell line in vitro.
Methods: Hepatoma carcinoma cells was cultured with DCN in different concentration (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200 microg/L) for different time(12, 24, 48, 72 h and 2 weeks). Cell activities were studied by MTT and clone test.
