The occurrence rate of colorectal cancer is increasing. Metastasis and recurrence are the leading causes of death in colorec-tal cancer. Tumor cells in the circulation have the ability to proliferate or to migrate, thereby providing a reliable means for neoplasm staging and assessment of recurrence or metastasis, and evaluation of efficacy by detecting circulating tumor cells (CTC). Optimizing the development of detection technology will provide better support for clinical applications. This review mainly discusses CTC detec-tion and advances in colorectal cancer relapse or metastasis.

S-1 is an upgraded product of tegafur and UFT. Compared with 5-FU, it has stronger anticancer activity, and relative rare gastrointestinal adverse reaction. Many clinical studies have demonstrated S-1 has very good efficacy and safety in patients with advanced gastric cancer. The efficacy of single S-1 has been approved better than other available anti-cancer drugs in the treatment of gastric cancer, and similar to combination regimens such as cisplatin plus fluorouracil.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of valsartan on hepapetic fibrosis. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: valsartan -prevetive group (A), modle group of hepatic fibrosis (B)and valsar-tan-treating group (C). The model of hepatic fibrosis in rats was induced by intraperitoneai injection of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) for 4 weeks(2ml/kg everyday, three times a week). Valsartan (10mg/kg everyday) was given together with injection of DMN per intrngastric (Ig) in group A for 8 weeks. After stop injection of DMN, the S valsartan(10mg/kg, everyday)was given per Ig in group C for 4 weeks. After modeling, normal saline were given per Ig everyday in group B. At the end of eighth week, the histomorphylogic structure of the liver was ob-served with light microscope. Immunohistoebemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of a-SMA. Results In group B, there was a large necrotic area and a number of pesudolobes appeared in the liver tissue. In group A, there were normal hepatic cords. In the group C, there was fibrosis interval formation and portal area expansion and fibrotie intervals extending to the lobule. The quantitative analysis of Mas-son staining showed that the collagen quantities in group B was higher than that of other group(P<0.01). The collagen quantities in group A was lower than that of group C(P<0.05). The results of immanohistochemical staining showed that the expression of a-SMA in group B was strong positive, middle positive in group C, and weak positive in group A (P<0.05). Conclusion The valsartan has preventive and treatment effects on hepatic fibrosis in rats of hepatic fibrosis model induced by DMN, and the preventive effect of valsartan is better than its treatment effect. The valsartan can ameliorate the hver cirrhosis by partly suppressing the activation of HSC.

Objective To investigate paclitaxel cross resistance and provide information for clinical therapy by establishing a paclitaxel resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line.Method A paclitaxel resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line named with SPC-A1/Taxol was developed by intermittent exposure to gradually increasing concentration of taxol.Resistant index was calculated from median inhibitory concentration(IC50)which was evaluated by MTT assay.Results SPC-A1/Taxol cell line displayed high resistance to taxotere,vinorelbine,vincristine and doxorubicin.It also displayed median or low resistance to camptothecins and podophyllotoxins.No cross resistance was observed to antitumor platinum and antimetabolite drugs and elemene emusion.Conclusion SPC-A1/Taxol cell line is a typical multidrug-resistant cell line in vitro.It could be useful for studing the cross resistance and direct clinical medication.

Objective:To study the in vivo anti-tumor effect of exosomes (Exo) combined with bacillus Calmette-Gu?rin vaccine(BCG). Methods:Exo was isolated and purified from culture supernatant of E.G7-OVA tumor cells by density gradient centrifugation. Protein components of Exo were detected by Western blotting. Exo,BCG,Exo combined with BCG (Exo+BCG) or PBS were pre-injected into mice before injection of E.G7-OVA cells,and the anti-tumor effects were observed in each group. Mouse model bearing E.G7-OVA cells was established to examine the immuno-therapy effects of Exo with or without BCG. Cytotoxity of spleen CTL was measured by LDH in different groups. Results:Exo derived from E.G7-OVA cells contained HSP60,OVA,HSC70 and CD63 as detected by Western blotting. Tumor-free rate at 90 d was significantly higher in Exo+BCG vaccinated mice than those in Exo or BCG vaccinated mice as measured by immuno-protective assay (60% vs 20% or 0%,P

BACKGROUND:Transplanted neural stem cel s can survive, proliferate and differentiate into neurons and/or glial cel s in the host, thereby promoting partial function recovery in the host.
OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effects of neural stem cel transplantation on cerebral palsy rats. METHODS:Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group, model group and transplantation group. Animal models of cerebral palsy were made in the latter two groups. One week after modeling, rats in the transplantation group were injected 1 mL stem cel suspension (1×105) via the jugular vein, and rats in the control and model group were given the same volume of normal saline. Toe distance, step length and elevated body swing test in rats were detected, and histopathological changes in the rat brain were observed 3 weeks after transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the model group, the toe distance and step length of the front left palm were significantly lower than those of the front right palm (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the toe distance and step length in the transplantation and control groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). In the elevated body swing test, rats in the model group presented with asymmetric swing of the
body, but rats in the other two groups exhibited symmetric swing of the body (P<0.05). Additional y, the ratio of right to left hemispheric areas was significantly higher in the transplantation and control groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). In conclusion, neural stem cel transplantation via the jugular vein can improve brain function and restore motor function in rats with cerebral palsy.

Objective To explore the effects ofBuzhong Yiqi Pills on HBV-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients.Methods A total of 176 patients of HBV-related decompensated liver cirrhosis were enrolled in the study from January 2007 to January 2010 and were divided into treatment group (82 cases) and control group (94 cases) according to patient's wishes. Patients in both groups were given antiviral therapy. According to the liver function and complications, patients were given glycyrrhizin to protect liver, Kuhuang Injection to treat jaundice, and spironolactone and furosemide for diuretic treatment. Patients in the treatment group receivedBuzhong Yiqi Pills, one bag for each time, twice a day, four weeks as a treatment session, three sessions each year, with five-year follow-up.
