Objective To investiagate cell apoptosis and expressions of Bax,Bcl-2 andCaspase-3 in gambogic acid-treated colorectal cancer cells. Methods SW480/LOVO colorectal cancer cells were treated by gambogic acid. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay (CCK-8) was used to test cell proliferation. Microscopy was used to check the morphological changes. Immunofluorescence staining technique was used to detect cell apoptosis. Expressions of Bax,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 protein were detected by Western blot assay. Results Gambogic acid inhibited the proliferation of SW480/LOVO in a dose and time-dependent manner. Gambogic acid could induce cell apoptosis. Gambogic acid increased expressions of Caspase-3 and Bax, increased the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, and decreased Bcl-2 protein expression. Conclusion Gambogic acid can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of SW480LOVO cells, with the mechanism of up-regulation of Bax/Bcl-2 and activation of Caspase-3.

Objective To investigate the expression of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in peripheral blood of patients with different stages of colorectal cancer (CRC), and to evaluate its significance in early diagnosis of colorectal cancer metastasis. Methods Sixty patients with CRC (42 inⅡ-Ⅲstage and 18 in IV stage ) and 30 patients with benign rectal disease were recruited from January 2014 to December 2015. The CTC in peripheral blood was purified with Immunomagnetic Separation Technologie, and detected by immunofluorescence in situ hybridization (imFISH). The serum levels of CEA were detected by electrochemiluminescence method meanwhile. The correlation between CTC and CEA was analyzed. Results CTC positive rates in CRC patients were significantly higher than those in benign rectal disease controls. CTC positive rates inⅣstage were significantly higher than those inⅡ-Ⅲ stage. The expression of CTC was significantly correlated with CEA (r = 0.6652, P < 0.01). Conclusions The expression of CTC in CRC patients is significantly higher than that in benign rectal disease control group. It is closely related to clinical stages. Detection of peripheral blood CTC has important clinical significance in the early diagnosis of CRC metastasis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect and its possible mechanism of interleukin-17 (IL-17) on invasion and metastasis of human colon cancer cells.

METHODSIL-17 was added into the culture media of human colon cancer cells SW480 and LOVO. Cells were divided into 4 groups: SW480 control group (SW480 cells), LOVO control group (LOVO cells), SW480 experiment group (50 μg/L IL-17+SW480 cells), and LOVO experiment group (50 μg/L IL-17+LOVO cells). Cell growth was measured by CCK-8 assay. The proliferation rate(%)=[(Aexperiment group-Ablank)/(Acontrol group-Ablank)]×100%). The ability of cell invasion and migration was measured by transwell assay. Real time-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of VEGF and MMP-9. Western blot was performed to detect protein expression of STAT3, p-STAT3, VEGF and MMP-9. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to measure the protein content of VEGF and MMP-9 in the supernatant.

RESULTSAfter cultivation for 24, 48 and 72 hours, CCK-8 assay revealed that the proliferation rate of SW480 was 1.18%±0.07%, 1.42%±0.09%, and 1.62%±0.08%; the proliferation rate of LOVO was 1.13%±0.02%, 1.32%±0.05% and 1.73%±0.02% in experiment group. Transwell experiments showed that after cultivation with IL-17 for 24 hours, number of invasion cell in experimental groups (SW480: 34.00±0.45, LOVO: 41.60±0.51) was higher as compared to corresponding control groups (SW480: 4.53±0.14; LOVO: 3.67±0.33) with significant differences (SW480: t=-76.026, P=0.001; LOVO: t=-81.580, P=0.005). The number of migration cell in experimental groups (SW480: 36.40±0.51, LOVO: 46.40±0.68) was higher as compared to corresponding control groups (SW480: 7.83±0.69; LOVO: 6.67±0.48) with significant differences (SW480: t=-51.542, P=0.003; LOVO: t=-49.265, P=0.005). Real-time PCR results revealed that after cultivation with IL-17 for 24 hours, VEGF and MMP-9 mRNA relative expression levels in experimental groups (SW480: VEGF:1.53±0.12, MMP-9: 2.44±0.23; LOVO: VEGF: 2.96±0.35, MMP-9: 3.38±0.55) were higher than those in control groups (both 1) with significant differences (VEGF: t=3.799, P=0.043; MMP-9: t=5.254, P=0.039). Western blot illustrated that after cultivation with IL-17 for 24 hours, STAT3, p-STAT3, VEGF and MMP-9 proteins relative expression levels in experimental groups were significantly higher that those in control groups (SW480:STAT3: t=3.233, P=0.023; p-STAT3: t=3.954, P=0.032; VEGF: t=3.201, P=0.025; MMP-9: t=3.154, P=0.029; LOVO: STAT3: t=3.788, P=0.012; p-STAT3: t=2.662, P=0.040; VEGF: t=4.118, P=0.035; MMP-9: t=4.268, P=0.030). ELISA indicated that content of VEGF and MMP-9 in the supernatant of experimental groups (SW480: VEGF 5 491.41±63.22, MMP-9: 21.43±1.35. LOVO: VEGF: 8 631.46±129.59, MMP-9: 178.32±3.20) were higher than those in control groups (SW480: VEGF:4 456.32±87.56, MMP-9:18.57±2.44. LOVO: VEGF: 8 122.38±108.66, MMP-9: 163.22±6.89) with significant differences (SW480: VEGF: t=6.993, P=0.037; MMP-9: t=5.587, P=0.040. LOVO: VEGF: t=7.013, P=0.044; MMP-9: t=6.762, P=0.043).

CONCLUSIONIL-17 may be able to activate STAT3 signal transduction pathway in vitro through up-regulation of VEGF and MMP-9 expression, thereby enhancing the invasion and migration of colon cancer SW480 and LOVO cells.

Objective To investigate the distribution and changing resistance proifle ofSalmonella isolates in hospitals across China during the period from January 2005 to December 2014.Methods Seventeen general hospitals and two children’s hospitals were involved in this program. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by means of a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or MIC determination. The results were analyzed according to CLSI 2014 breakpoints.Results The proportion ofSalmonella isolates increased with time from 0.2% in 2005 to 0.7% in 2014. A total of 3 478Salmonella strains were collected from 19 hospitals. The proportion ofSalmonella typhimurium andSalmonella enteritidis was 27.4% and 24.4%, respectively. During the 10-year period, theSalmonella strains showed highest resistance rate to ampicillin (33.3%-64.8%), but low resistance to cefoperazone-sulbactam (0-5.3%) and ciprofloxacin (2.4%-14.3%).S. typhimurium showed higher resistance rate thanS. typhi,S. paratyphi andS. enteritidis. About 76.8% and 50.5% ofS. typhimurium were resistant to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The average prevalence of multi-drug resistantSalmonellawas 3.9% in the ten-year period, the highest (7.5%) was in 2005, the lowest (1.5%) in 2013.Conclusions During the period from 2004 to 2015, majority of theSalmonella isolates in hospitals across China wasS. typhimurium andS. enteritidis. Ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are no longer appropriate for empirical treatment ofS. typhimurium infection due to high resistance rate.Salmonella isolates are relatively more susceptible to third-generation cephalosporins and quinolones. Ongoing monitoring is necessary to identify multi-drug resistant strains ofSalmonella.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) after surgeries in Yunnan Province. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the demographic features, vascular risk factors, severity at admission, and aneurysm locations in 85 patients with aSAH receiving surgical interventions in Yunnan Province. All the patients were treated by aneurysm clipping or coiling and followed up for clinical outcomes and recovery of daily activities evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, respectively. RESULTS: Thirty-four of the patients (40.0%) underwent aneurysm clipping and 51 (60.0%) underwent aneurysm coiling. During a median follow- up period of 66.23 months (IOR, 12.03 months), 84.7% of the patients had low mRS scores, and 78.8% lived independently. The WFNS grade at admission was significantly correlated with the follow-up mRS scores (95%: 1.48-19.09, =0.011) and ADL (95%: 2.55-28.77, < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age (95%: 1.02-1.23, =0.017; 95%: 1.00-1.15, =0.038) and a high WFNS grade at admission (95%: 2.19-141.48, =0.007; 95%: 2.84-82.61, =0.002) were independent predictors of both mRS and ADL scores at follow-up. There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes or the length of hospital stay between the two treatment strategies ( > 0.05), but the cost of hospitalization was significantly higher in coiling group than in the clipping group ( < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both aging and a high WFNS grade at admission are associated with a poor prognosis of aSAH, for which aneurysm clipping and coiling have similar long- term outcomes, but for patients with a high WFNS score, aneurysm clipping is favored over coiling in terms of health economics.
