Hypoxia and hypoxia-induced factors (HIFs) are main regulators for tumor stem cells, metastasis-initiating cells and their differentiated progenies to adapt to the environment which lacks oxygen and nutrient in the process of cancer development. HIFs are up-regulated in many tumors, including leukemia, glioblastoma, melanoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, in where they are especially highly expressed in hypoxic regions. HIFs activation can induce expression of numerous stem cell related genes and multidrug resistance genes, which may play important roles in tumour and stem cell-mediated self-renewing, energy metabolism alternation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis and treatment resis?tance of neoplastic cells. Consequently, it will provide new clues for cancer therapy after investigating the role of HIFs in tar?geted regulation and metabolic pathway modulation in various stem cell-mediated tumor cells.

Objective:To test the effects of propofol on intracellular calcium free concentration ([Ca~(2+)]i) and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP_3) biological synthesis induced by norepinephrine (NE) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in aortic smooth muscle cells (ASMC)of rats for the mechanism of relaxtion of propofol on vascular smooth muscle.Method: Using the flurospectrophotometry and Fura-2/AM loading method,the changes of [Ca~(2+)]i levels in primary culture ASMC were measured,and using the specific, IP_3 assay system and isotope radioactive protein binding experiment IP_3 production levels in aortic smooth muscle were measured. Result:The baselines of [Ca~(2+)]i was decreased when primary culture ASMC was pretreated with propofol in 72 hours. Propofol inhibited [Ca~(2+)]i increase induced by NE and 5-HT in dose-dependent way. With extracellular calcium free or calcium channel blocker(Verapamil),inhibition of propofol on NE and 5-HT increasing [Ca~(2+)]i levels were decreased,but could not be cancelled. Propofol depressed IP_3 biological synthesis induced by NE and 5-HT in dose-dependent way. Conclusion:Relaxation of propofol on aortic smooth muscle is closely related to inhibiting IP_3- induced calcium release to decrease intracellular calcium concentration.

Objective:To examine the inhibitory effect and mechanism of niclosamide combined with low-dose cisplatin on adrenocor-tical carcinoma xenografts in nude mice. Methods:A SW-13 cell transplanted tumor model was first established in nude mice. The nude mice were then divided into the control group, niclosamide group, cisplatin group, and combined drug group. The groups were compared in terms of tumor body volume, tumor weight, and biochemical index. The cell apoptosis rate of the transplanted tumor tis-sue was detected by TUNEL assay, while Bcl-2 and caspase-3 protein expression in the transplanted tumor tissue was detected by im-munohistochemistry and Western blot. Results:The terminal tumor volume and weight of the combined drug group were lower than those of the niclosamide and cisplatin groups (all P<0.001). The white blood cell count of the cisplatin and combined drug groups were lower than that of the control group (all P<0.001). Meanwhile, no difference was observed between the cisplatin and combined drug groups (P=0.29). The creatinine and glutamic pyruvic transaminase of the cisplatin and combined drug groups were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.001), whereas no significant difference was observed in the levels of creatinine and alanine aminotransfer-ase between cisplatin and combined drug groups (all P>0.05). TUNEL test results showed that the cell apoptotic rate of the combined drug group was higher than that of the niclosamide group (P=0.004) and cisplatin group (P=0.005). Immunohistochemistry and West-ern blot test results showed that Bcl-2 expression in the combined drug group was lower than those of the niclosamide and cisplatin groups (all P<0.001), while caspase-3 expression in the combined drug group was the highest among those of other groups (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Niclosamide can enhance the inhibitory effect of low-dose cisplatin on the growth of adrenocortical carcinoma and has no additional side effects. This enhancement is probably related to the influence of niclosamide on Bcl-2 and caspase-3 expres-sion levels. Niclosamide promotes the apoptosis of the tumor cells by influencing Bcl-2 and caspase-3 expression.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and operation treatment of primary intrahepatic cholangiocelhlar carcinoma (PICC), for improving the level of diagnosis and treament of PICC. Methods The clinical data of 18 cases with PICC confirmed by operation were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the early stage, no specific symptoms was found in all the 18 cases, the positive cases of AFP, CEA, CA199 and live cirrhosis were 2, 4, 3 and 4. The diagnostic rates of ultrasound examination, CT and MRI were 11.1%(2/18), 42.9%(6/14) and 45.5% (5/11 ). Seven cases were diagnosed as suffering from PICC and the others were misdiagnosed. Of all the 18 patients, 8 cases underwent radical resection and 10 cases received palliative excision. Conclusions PICC patients lack clinical features and serum tumor marker,the rato of misdiagnosis is high, but that of radical resection is low. Knowing its clinicopathological features well. Radicalresection is the best way for treatment of PICC.
