Objective To detect the levels of Thl and Th2 type cytokines of peripheral blood CD+4 T lymphocytes in the patients with colonic cancer and to observe the shift of Th1/h2 in the patients with colonic cancer. To discuss the relationship between Th1/Th2 balance and colonic cancer progression. Methods After collecting the peripheral blood samples of research objects, the levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 were detected by flow cytometrys of Th1 Th2 cytokine marked. The data were analyzed by SPSS11.0. Results The level of IFN-γ of peripheral blood CD+4 T lymphocytes in colonic cancer patients and healthy donors were(11.7±1.86) % and (16.4±6.07)% respectively. The level of IFN-γ in malignant group was significantly lower(P ＜ 0.05). Thl/Th2 (IFN-γ/IL-4)was lower too(P ＜ 0.05). Th1/Th2 (IFN-γ/IL-4)in colonic cancer patients and healthy donors were 4.2±0.94 and 9.7±1.11 respectively. But the level of IL-4 was significantly higher than those in healthy control (P＜0.05). Conclusion Th2 dominates in peripheral blood CD+4 T lymphocytes of colonic cancer patient. Th1/Th2 disequilibrium leads to immune function hypofunction. It may be one of the reasons of colonic cancer recur, rence or colonic cancer metastasis.

Conclusion Short peptide enteral nutrition powder maintenance is beneficial to improve the nutritional status and the immune function of patients with advanced cancer and to promote their life quality.

Objective To investigate the endoluminal ultrasonographie characteristics of adenoearcinoma and mucous adenocareinoma of the rectum. Methods The ultrasonographie characteristics of thirty eases of advanced adenoeareinoma of the rectum and twenty-eight eases of rectal mucous adenoearcinoma were analyzed retrospectively in comparison with their eorresponding pathologic images. Results In advanced adenocareinoma of the rectum, 28 eases manifested rough endoluminal surface, of which 19 marked by thickened changes without arrangement of layers, 10 had indistinct arrangement of layers in some areas and one had clear arrangement of layers. In the deepest margin of infiltration, 17 eases manifested sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance, while 5 marked by wavy margins, and 8 cases had clear and fiat margins. In 25 eases of rectal mucous adenocareinoma, 20 manifested smooth endoluminal surface. With regard to infiltration of tumors to rectal wall, 6 cases manifested clear arrangement of layers, while 13 had clear arrangement of layers in part and 6 had no clear arrangement. In the deepest part of infiltration, 8 eases manifested slippery and fiat margins and 10 manifested wavy margins and 7 had a few sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance locally. According to ultrasonic results of the depth of infiltration to rectal wall in comparison with pathologic findings, 25 eases were diagnosed accurately, while in two cases the diagnosis was too shallow and in three eases it was too deep. In rectal mucous adenocarcinoma, 10 cases got correct diagnosis and 14 were diagnosed superficially and one got too deep. The accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis on rectal mueoas adenoearcinoma was apparently lower than that of adenoeareinoma and most of the misdiagnosis were too superfieiai. Conclusion There are different ultrasonographie characteristics of rectal adenoeareinoma and rectal mucous adenoeareinoma, which can be helpful for the typing of rectal carcinoma and avoiding excessively superficial misdiagnosis.

Objective To investigate the association of leiomyoma with death receptors(DR) and the mechanisms underlying the development of leiomyoma.Methods The semi-quantitative RT-PCR was employed to examine the mRNA expression of apoptosis-associated death receptors in the Leiomyoma tissue samples collected from 20 clinical cases.Results It was found that the mRNA expression of DR4 in leiomyoma tissue was dramatically decreased as compared to that of normal tissue controls (P<0.001),but no difference was found between leiomyoma and normal tissue controls in terms of DcR1,DcR2,DR5,TNFR1A,TNFR1B and Fas mRNA expressions (P>0.05).Conclusion It is highly possible that DR4 expression might be involved in the development of leiomyoma.More efforts will be required to elucidate the exact mechanisms underlying the development of leiomyoma.

Objective To summarize the expression of CK19, HBME-land 34βE12 in papillary carcinoma of the thyroid (PCT) and their differential diagnostic value. Methods Clinical data of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid,nodular goiter and paraeareinoma were reviewed. All HE slides were reexamined and immunostains for CK19, HBME-land 34βEI2 were performed in selected case. Staining results were evaluated. Results Those cases typically showed complex papillary structures and interstitial fibrosis, while nuclear features included ground class appearance, grooves and nuclear pseudoinelusion. The positive rates for CKI9, HBME-1 and 34βE12 in PCT were 100.0 %, 89.4 % and 42.6 % respectively, the differences were statistically significant(P <0.01). Conclusion PCT occurs preferentially in the group of middle-aged women. The diagnosis of PCT should be distinguished from other plesiomorphous benign papillary lesions. Combined detection of CK19, HBME-1, 34βE12 can be most helpful for diagnosis for of PCT.

Objective To detect the expressive levels of hepatocyte growth factor and D2-40 and its correlation with clinicopathological factors and microlymphatic density in gastric carcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of HGF and D2-40 in gastric cancer tissue, with microlymphatic density(MLD) counted. Results The expression of HGF had the positive correlation with histologic types, infiltration depth, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P <0.05). No correlation was found in age, tumor diameter(P >0.05). In gastric cancer, the MLD in the HGF-positive group (22.8±10.9) was higher than that in the HGF-negative group(14.0±4.2, P <0.05). Conclusion The expressive levels of HGF have the positive correlation with histologic types, infiltration depth, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and MLD in gastric carcinoma. HGF can be used to predict prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To compare effect of chemotherapy agent DDP to MACS in sorting cancer stemcells (CSC) of laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2. Methods CD133 magnetic beads were applied to sort Hep-2 cells. Different dosages of DDP were used to treat Hep-2 cells for 48 hours. Enrichment rate of CD133+ cells by MACS and after DDP treatment was detected by Flow Cytometer (FCM). Morphologic change was observed under inverse-phase microscope. Results FCM showed that the sorting rate of CD133+ cells through MACS was 64.33 %, while after DDP treatment for 48 hours, the rate of CD133+ cells was enriched significantly in each dosage of DDP, with the maximal rate was 50.7 %, in the dosage of 4 μg/ml. There was a significantly difference between MACS and each of DDP group (P <0.01). Cells treated with DDP were abnormal in morphology. Conclusion MACS and DDP sorting has respective advantages in enriching CSC in Hep-2 cell lines.

Objective To explore the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) on apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cell line SNU in vitro. Methods SNU cells were treated with DON at different concentrations (50, 100, 1000, 2000 μg/L) for 12 hours, and then cells were harvested for cell apoptosis by flow cytometric (FCM) DNA analysis and the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 at protein level with FCM and Western blotting. Results FCM results showed that the apoptosis rates of SNU cells in DON treatment groups were all higher than that in control, especially in DON 1000 μg/L and 2000 μg/L groups (P<0.05). In the concentration range from 50 to 2000 μg/L, a significant concentration-depended response correlation could be found between apoptosis rate and DON concentration (r =0.940, P <0.01). FCM and Western blotting showed Bax and Caspase-3 expression in often SNU cells DON treatment for 12 hours were up-regulated while that of Bcl-2 was down-regulated. Conclusion DON can induce apoptosis of SNU cells in vitro in dose-dependent manner, and possible mechanisms of apoptosis induction effects may be up-regulation of the expression of Bax and down-regulation of that of Bcl-2 and activation of the key enzyme of apoptosis Caspase-3.
