Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2017;36(1):68-70
Objectives To detect the expression level of miR-155 in tissues of colon cancer,and to investigate its influence on the occurrence,development and metastasis of colon cancer.Methods 69 cases with primary colon cancer treated with surgical resection in our hospital were chosen.Tissue samples of the tumor and tissue in the side of tumor(control)were collected and the expression level of miR-155 in the samples was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The results were statically analyzed.Results The expression level of miR-155 was 0.471±0.100,0.238 ±0.108,0.719 ± 0.135 in three groups of colon cancer patients with tumor sizes ≥ 5 cm,high differentiation of tumor,and occurrence of lymphatic metastasis,respectively,and 0.623 ± 0.134,0.142 ±0.094,0.390±0.121 in their controls.And the level of miR-155 was 0.395±0.101 in patients with T1 + T2 tumor local infiltration,0.466±0.128 in T3 + T4 local infiltration,0.404±0.108 in Ⅰ + Ⅱ stage of TNM and 0.457±0.119 in Ⅲ± Ⅳ stage.The miR-155 was relatively higherly expressed in patients with tumor sizes≥5 cm,lower degree of differentiation,higher tumor infiltration degree,Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage of TNM,(t=3.002,12.531,20.425,2.576,1.908,P < 0.05).Conclusions The expression level of miR-155 is correlated with tumor sizes,differentiation degrees,tumor infiltrating degrees,TNM and lymphatic metastasis,which could be used as diagnostic indexes for occurrence,development and metastasis of colon cancer.

Background and purpose: Regional lymph node metastasis was significantly associated with the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study was designed to compare paclitaxel liposome plus cisplatin (LP) with gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) in patients with regional lymph node metastasis of advanced NSCLC as a ifrst-line treatment. Methods:A total of 55 patients were randomly assigned to receive either liposomal paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2) or gemcitabine (1 000 mg/m2) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Results:Objective response rate (ORR) of lung primary foci was 37.9%in the LP arm and 30.8%in the GP arm (P>0.05) and the disease control rate (DCR) was 91.3%and 80.8%respectively (P>0.05);ORR of regional metastasis lymph node was higher in the LP arm (44.8%vs 15.4%, P<0.05).There was no signiifcant difference in DCR (93.1%vs 73.1%, P=0.101), although slight trends favoring paclitaxel liposome were seen;There was signiifcant difference in median overall survival (17.0 vs 12.0 months, P<0.05). LP was associated with significantly less thrombocytopenia and gastrointestinal side effects (P<0.05), but no signiifcant difference was observed in hyphemia, leucopenia, hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity and allergic reactions (P>0.05). Conclusion: Liposomal paclitaxel plus cisplatin is superior to gemcitabine plus cisplatin with less toxicity and better tolerated, it deserves further research and clinic application for patients with regional lymph node metastasis of advanced NSCLC.

Objective To explore changes of invasion capability of cancer stem cells loading miR30a derived from enlarging and proliferative axillary lymph node of patients with breast cancer in nude mice.Methods MiR30a oligonucleotide fragment loaded by adenovirus vector was transfected into breast cancer stem cells isolated from enlarging and proliferative axillary lymphnodes of patients with breast cancer,MDA-MB-231 cell lines as the control.The cancer cells were injected into axillary subcutaneous fat of the nude mice for several weeks,and then,the expression of Vimentin or N-Cadherin in tumor tissues of each group of the mice was determined by immunohistochemistry and western blot.Results The average transfection rate of cancer stem cells loaded by miR30a was 62.5%,while it was 78.2% for MDA-MB-231.The tumor volume was larger in adenovirus vector groups or in control groups of nude mice than in experimental groups induced by mir30a.Vimentin or N-cadherin in tumor tissues was significantly downexpressed in experimental groups with mir30a ((13.1±1.7)%,(15.3%±2.1)%)compared with that in adenovirus vector groups or in control groups((21.1±1.4)%,(25.3±1.6)%,P<0.05),respectively.The difference between adenovirus vector groups and in control groups had no significant difference (P>0.05).After inoculated for 6 weeks,except the subcutaneous plantations,no distant metastasis in nude mice was found.MDA-MB-231 cell lines groups had similar results.Conclusion The proliferative and invasive capability of cancer stem cells can be inhibited by miR30a,suggesting a new therapy for breast cancer.

Objective To compare the biomechanical characteristics of new assembly of locking compression plate (NALCP) and locking compression plate (LCP) in internal fixation of femoral shaft comminuted fractures.Methods The preparation of a femoral shaft wedge fracture model (AO type 32-C2.1),six pairs of (12) femoral specimens were collected and divided into two groups randomly,with six in each group.The Group A was made up of the new assembly of locking compression plate fixation model (NALCP),and Group B the locking compression plate fixation model (LCP).The biomechanical properties of steel plates in two groups were tested by axial loading and torsional loading tests.The relative maximum displacement of fracture blocks in two groups on the X,Y and Z axes (the coronal axis was set as X axis,through the medial and lateral femur;the transverse axis was set as Z axis,through the femoral intercondylar fossa,perpendicular to the X axis;the sagittal axis was set as Y axis,perpendicular to the X and Z axis),the maximum strain,and the average strain of the steel plate were recorded.Strain distribution nephogram was produced,and the axial loading fatigue test results of Group A were recorded.Results Axial loading test:the relative maximum displacement of fracture in Group A on X,Y and Z axis were smaller than those in Group B (P <0.05 or 0.01);the main strain of Group A was greater than that of Group B (P <0.01);there was no significant difference in the average strain between Group A and Group B (P > 0.05).Torsional loading test:The relative maximum displacement of fracture in Group A on X and Z axis was smaller than that of Group B (P < 0.01);there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups on the Y axis (P > 0.05);the main strain of plate in Group A was greater than that in Group B (P < 0.01);there was no statistically significant difference in the average strain between Group A and Group B (P > 0.05).There was no obvious difference in strain distribution between the two groups.In Group A,the fatigue test of axial cyclic loading was performed for 1 million times,and the NALCP was intact without deformation,loosening,or rupture.Conclusion NALCP can provide strong mechanical stability for comminuted femoral fracture.The design of bridge steel plate is reasonable,which can effectively avoid stress concentration,reduce the stress shielding of steel plate,and facilitate bone healing.

Objective To compare the stress and its distribution between our self-designed new assembly of locking compression plate (NALCP) of low elastic modulus versus conventional locking compression plate (LCP) in fixation of femoral comminuted fractures.Methods Six pairs of cadaveric femur were used to create models of middle femoral comminuted fracture.The femoral fracture models were fixated respectively by NALCP of Ti2448 with low elastic modulus (E =30 Gpa) (NALCP group) and conventional LCP of Ti-6Al-4V with high elastic modulus (E =110 Gpa) (LCP group).Axial and torsion loads were applied on the models in the 2 groups to simulate those on one leg when a person slowly walks.The relative maximum displacements on the X,Y and Z axes of fracture fragments,and the maximum and average strains of the plate were recorded in the 2 groups.Nephograms of strain distribution were made for the 2 groups.The results of fatigue test under axial loads were recorded for NALCP group.Results Both the axial and torsion loading tests showed significantly larger principal and average strains in NACLP group than in LCP group (P < 0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the relative maximum displacements of fracture fragments on X,Y or Z axis (P > 0.05).The plate strain nephograms for the 2 groups showed consistent strain distributions.The plates in NALCP group survived 1,000,000 fatigue tests under axial loads,without any deformation,loosening or breakage.Conclusion As our NALCP of low elastic modulus may be better in stress transmission and distribution,it can effectively reduce the effect of stress-shielding and promote bone healing.
