Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the occurrence of human pancreatic cancer.Methods:PAHs in human pancreatic cancer,adjacent pancreatic cancer ...Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the occurrence of human pancreatic cancer.Methods:PAHs in human pancreatic cancer,adjacent pancreatic cancer tissues and tissues without pancreatic cancer were extracted by ultrasonic extraction (UE).And then the extracts were cleaned up by solid phase extraction and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence spectroscopy.Results:Four kinds of PAHs were detected,which were chrysene,2-methylanthracene,pyrene and benzo (a) pyrene.The contents of the four PAHs were not statistically significant between pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues (P > 0.05).The contents of 2-methylanthracene,pyrene and benzo (a) pyrene in pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues were higher than tissues without pancreatic cancer,the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).The contents of chrysene in the three kinds of pancreatic tissues were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).Conclusion:PAHs were found in human pancreatic tissues.Human pancreatic tissues have extremely strong ability of bio-concentrating PAHs.PAHs might play an important role in the occurrence of human pancreatic cancer.展开更多
