Aim To examine the inhibitory effect of re-combinant cardiac troponin fusion protein composed of subunit I and artificial peptide which was called CIS on tumor growth. Methods The CIS ’ s effect on the growth of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HU-VEC) was examined using MTT assay in vitro. Chick chorioallantoic membrane model was applied to study the alteration of angiogenesis treated with purified re-combinant CIS protein. The effect of tumor growth trea-ted with CIS was observed using several in vivo mice xenograft models. Results There was a statistically significant reduction in HUVEC cell proliferative rate when the cells were treated with purified CIS fusion protein, which was also shown in a dose-dependent manner. A decreased amount of new blood vessel for-mation ( angiogenesis) on chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes was observed in recombinant CIS protein treated group compared to the untreated control group. A significant inhibition of tumor growth rate was a-chieved in CIS treated mice compared to CIS untreated control mice in 6 different mouse xenograft models. Conclusions The fusion protein CIS shows the inhibi-tory effect on the tumor growth in our in vivo mouse models, and such inhibition could be mediated by the mechanism of CIS’ s effect on the decrease of HUVEC cell proliferation and further the reduction of angiogen-esis in tumor tissues. This work could provide the foundation for the in-depth investigations on the phar-maceutical application of CIS targeting anti-tumor ther-apy.

BACKGROUND: Permanent or transient implantation of biomaterials can result in biomaterials-centered infections (BCI) in lung cancer patients.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between BCI and peripheral blood transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in patients with lung cancer.METHODS: A total of 248 lung cancer patients undergoing in vivo intravascular catheter indwelling > 7 days were included.Quantitative method was used for intubation, bacteriological culture and paired blood culture, and API Staph strips were adopted for positive patients. While enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect TGF-β1 levels in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer and 75 healthy volunteers as normal controls.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among the 248 patients, there were 82 BCI-positive cases, and 166 BCI-negative cases.Thirteen patients were confirmed to have catheter-related bloodstream infection. There were 48 Gram-positive bacteria, 24Gram-negative bacilli, and 10 fungal. The levels of TGF-β1 were higher in BCI-positive patients than BCI-negative patients (P < 0.05); the levels of TGF-β1 in the BCI-negative group were higher than those in the normal control group (P < 0.05). For lung cancer patients with nosocomial infection induced BCI, there are various species of pathogenic bacteria, and Gram-positive bacteria are more common. To detect TGF-β1 levels in patients with lung cancer is of significance for early prevention of BCI.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between quartz's deposit and expression of NF-κB in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lung tissues in Xuanwei, Yunnan Province, and to clarify the role of quartz in Xuanwei NSCLC's carcinogenic mechanism. Methods As research objects, the lung tissues of NSCLC and lung benign lesions after surgical resection were collected from July 2009 to September 2015 at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. Firstly, the transmission electron microscopic (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDS) was used for observation of crystalline deposit and local pathological changes. Secondly, expression level of NF-κB had been analysed and a correlation analysis with particle size of SiO2 crystal in the same lung sample was made. Results The occurrence rates of quartz in Xuanwei NSCLC lung tissues were above non-Xuanwei NSCLC and benign lung tissues (P<0.01);the average particle size of SiO2 crystal was (226 ± 120) nm × (237 ± 163) nm in Xuanwei NSCLC group and it was smaller than the other two groups; In Xuanwei NSCLC group, the expression level of NF-κB was significantly higher than non-Xuanwei and benign lung tissues (P< 0.01), but there was no significant difference between cancer tissues and normal lung tissues in the group (P>0.05). The expression level of NF-κB was generally increasing when quartz 's size became smaller. Conclusion Quartz 's deposit may play a certain role in carcinogenic mechanism of lung cancer in Xuanwei, the smaller the particle size, the greater the cytotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the serum levels change of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) during operation of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods 120 cases of NSCLC patient diagnosed by pathology as well as with operation indication were selected as the experimental group. The patients selected were required without any chemotherapy or radiotherapy before operation, besides that, they should have good compliance and free will to be examined. During the process of experiment, 60 cases concluded as healthy in the physical examination were chosen as control group. The correlative information of the experimental group were collected including periphery blood specimen collected in 3 days before the operation, and of the 1st day, 7th day and 30th day after the operation while the periphery blood specimen of control group were collected. The serum levels of VEGF were detected by adopting enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results The serum levels of VEGF in NSCLC patients before operation, of the first postoperative day, of the seventh postoperative day and of the thirtieth postoperative day were significantly higher than that in healthy people (P<0.01), respectively (279.14±44.89)μg/L, (282.70±42.74) μg/L, (353.79±44.55) μg/L, (178.40±43.43) μg/L and (91.40±16.55) μg/L. The serum levels of VEGF in NSCLC patients showed positive correlation with the stages (P<0.01). Conclusion The serum levels of VEGF in NSCLC patients scale up. At the same time it shows positive correlation with the stages of the primary tumor. The serum levels of VEGF in NSCLC patients scales up by degrees in one week after the operation, and drop one month later.
