AIM:To clon human cytochrome P450 2A6 cDNA. METHODS:Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and DNA recombinant technique, a full-length cDNA encoding cytochrome P450 2A6( CYP2A6 ) from human liver was cloned into pBluescript vector. The cDNA segment was identified by DNA sequencing.RESULTS: Comparing with the CYP2A6 sequence, the cloned CYP2A6 cDNA had two different bases, codon 8 CTG(Leu)→TTG(Leu), codon 479 GGC(Gly)→GTC(Val) and was quite different in their 3′end noncoding region. Comparing with CYP2A7 seqence reported by Fernandez-Salguero,the cloned CYP2A6 cDNA had some different in 5′ end coding sequence and several differencey in the 3′ end coding and noncoding sequence, but both codon 479 were GTC(Val).Comparing with the CYP2A7 seqence reported by Yamano,the cloned CYP2A6 cDNA had some difference in the coding sequence but the 3′ end no-coding area was the same. CONCLUSION: The cloned cDNA was a new cDNA of CYP2A6 which may be transcripted from a new allele of CYP2A6.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and surgical therapy of multiple primary colorectal carcinoma. Methods From 1998 to 2007, 47 patients with synchronous multiple primary colorectal carcinoma and 20 cases with metachronous carcinoma were treated in our hospital. Results In these 67 cases of multiple primary colorectal carcinoma, synchronous carcinoma (SC) accounted for 70% (47 cases) including 37 rectal cancer with a total of 95 larger bowel cancer lesions. There were 6 cases with Dukes A stage, 22 cases with Dukes B stage, 15 cases with Dukes C stage and 4 cases with Dukes D stage. In this whole group there were 20 cases with lymph node metastasis, 21 cases with adenoma and multiple polyps in SC. Three cases received total coloectomy, 10 cases did subtotal coloectomy, 34 cases were treated by radical resection and intestine segment resection. In 20 metachronous carcinoma cases, there were 31 colon cancer(70%) with a total of 44 intestinal cancer lesions. Altogether, there were 17 cases with two tumors, 2 cases with three tumors, one case with four tumors. The duration between the first and the last carcinoma was from 7 months to 19 years, including less than two years in 7 cases, from two to five years in 5 cases, and more than five years in 8 cases. In all 20 MC cases the first (primary) carcinoma received radical resection, while radical resection was performed for the secondary carcinoma in 14 cases and for the third carcinoma in 2 cases. In the SC and the primary carcinoma of MC patients who received radical resection, the 5-year survival rates were 74% and 78% respectively. Conclusion In cases of colonic carcinoma we shouldn't be satisfied with the diagnosis of single colon tumor before a thorough screening of the whole colon was made. In radical resection surgery for SC or MC cases an attempt to preserve enough residual intestinal tract should be made in order to improve the life quality of post-operative patients.
