Glucose metabolism of cancer cells presents Warburg effect.In resent years,more and more experiments demonstrate that the therapeutics based on aerobic glycolysis pathway in cancer cells restrict energy and inhibit tumor proliferation through the inhibition of a variety of moleculars,genes and signal pathways.These can provide an opportunity for targeted cancer therapies and possess enormous potential advantages and broad prospects in clinical application.

Anti-neovascularization is an important research direction in the current treatment of gastric cancer.The inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) are main research focus.At present,the inhibitors of the pathways of VEGF and VEGFR in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer include bevacizumab,ramucirumab,apatinib,regorafenib,sorafenib,et al.These drugs provide more possibilities for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

Purpose: Detect cytokeratin 19 mRNA(CK-19 mRNA) in nucleated cells in peripheral blood from breast cancer. To establish a diagnostic method for breast cancer metastasis in peripheral blood. Methods: Peripheral blood samples in breast cancer patients (test group, n = 66) and benign tumour in breast patients ( control group, n = 37) were taken. Then, the nucleated cells were separated and total RNA extracted, and CK-19 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. Results: Samples were diagnosed CK-19 mRNA positive when 460 bp band appeared in RT-PCR end-product. The positive rate of CK-19 mRNA is 36. 36 % (24/66) in test group . None of the benign tumour breast patients expressed CK-19 mRNA. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P

Regulatory T cells (Treg),a group of negative regulatory cells,have four subsets:CD4+Treg,CD8 + Treg,NKT Treg and DN Treg cells.They play an essential role in the inhibitive immune-regulation and might be the key factors of neoplasms immune escape.These mechanisms include inhibiting the effector cell function by inhibitory cytokines,killing effector cells by granzyme and perforin,competition and inhibiting IL-2,and affecting Treg differentiation and proliferation by regulating the function of CTLA-4,etc.Tumor immunotherapies targeting Treg and related immunosuppressive factors,such as remove Treg or controling the numbers and functions,enhances the immune response against tumors,which might offer a new method of tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To assess the necessary excision of normal parenchyma tissue in nephron sparing surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Methods 102 specimens from radical nephrectomy for RCC were step sectioned at 3 mm intervals and examined.The tumor and field 20 mm beyond pseudocapsule were continuously sectioned and examined for completeness of pseudocapsule,the presence of micro multifocal carcinoma and for vascular and parenchyma invasion beyond pseudocapsule. Results 49 (48.0%) of the 102 specimens were void of intact pseudocapsule.The presence of extra pseudocapsule cancerous lesions was within 0~8 mm [(1.2?1.9) mm] beyone the capsule,with 30.4% of them within the field of 1~8 mm.with the statistic method of one side analysis of frequency,the percentile value of P97.5 and P100.0 was 7.4 and 8.0 mm respectively. Conclusions These data denote that when nephron sparing surgery is done for renal cell carcinoma,at least 10 mm of normal parenchyma tissue beyond the pseudocapsule should be excised with the tumor.The nucleation techniquc should not be encouraged.

0.4).ConclusionsThese data denote that biological behaviors and malignant features of multifocal tumors are very similar to those of primary ones.In addition,considering the significant relationship of multicentricity with vascular invasion and incompleteness of pseudocapsule of RCC,it is suggested that the secondary tumors might be more likely the result of intrarenal metastasis of the primary tumor rather than the results of multifocal genesis.

Objective To quantitatively examine the relationship between xeroderma pigmentosum complementation C group (XPC)rs2228000 (C /T)polymorphism and the susceptibility of breast cancer. Methods The relevant case-control studies published up to December 2015 which investigated XPC rs2228000 (C /T)polymorphism and breast cancer risk were identified by searching PubMed,Cochrane Library,Chinese Biomedical Literature Data,Wanfang Database,China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP Database. Meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 12.0 software and odds ratio (OR)with its 95%CI were estimated. Results A total of 8 researches involving 9 case-control studies (3 850 breast cancer cases and 5 047 healthy controls) were included.The Meta-analysis showed that there was statistical association between XPC rs2228000(C /T)variance and breast cancer risk in the homozygous model (TT vs.CC:OR =1.28,95%CI:1.08-1.52,Z =2.80,P =0.005)and recessive model (TT vs.TC +CC:OR =1.23,95%CI:1.05-1.43, Z =2.64,P =0.008),but not in the allele model,heterozygote model and dominant model.In the subgroup of ethnicity and genotyping methods,the different significant correlation was existed between them under Asian and PCR-RFLP in genetic models (T vs.C:OR =1.21,95%CI:1.05-1.40,Z =2.63,P =0.009;TT vs. CC:OR =1.55,95%CI:1.13-2.13,Z =2.70,P =0.007;TT +TC vs.CC:OR =1.26,95%CI:1.02-1.55,Z =2.19,P =0.028;TT vs.TC +CC:OR =1.39,95%CI:1.04-1.87,Z =2.23,P =0.026).We also found significant association between them in subgroup of population-based controls in the homozygous model (TT vs.CC:OR =1.27,95%CI:1.02-1.57,Z =2.16,P =0.031).Conclusion XPC rs2228000 (C /T)polymorphism may be associated with the susceptibility of breast cancer,especially in Asian,and gene-type TT may increase the risk of breast cancer.

Objective To assess the association between glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1 )gene and the susceptibility of colorectal cancer among Chinese population.Methods Clinical controlled trials of the association between GSTT1 and the susceptibility of colorectal cancer among Chinese population were searched in PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,China Biology Medicine disc,VIP database,China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang database.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,data extraction and quali-ty assessment were done by two researchers independently.Outcomes were pooled with RevMan 5.1 .Results 326 studies were found and 10 clinical controlled trails including 2 983 cases of colorectal cancer and 4 386 cases of healthy objects were included in this analysis.The results of Meta-analysis showed that the lack of GSTT1 gene is associated with colorectal cancer susceptibility (RR =1 .11 ,95%CI:1 .06-1 .17,Z =4.26,P <0.000 1 ). Conclusion The loss of GSTT1 increase the risk of colorectal cancer among Chinese population.

Objective To study the incidence of multi ce ntricity in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods 102 kidn eys from radical nephrectomy for RCC were step sectioned at 3 mm intervals and a ny abnormal tissue were removed, stained and examined. The tissue 2.0 cm beyond pseudocapsule and tissue of renal hilum were continueously or interruptedly sect ioned and examined for any tumor invasion of the pseudocapsule, micro-multifoca l carcinoma and vascular invasion beyond pseudocapsule. The relationship between the pathological findings of the primary tumors and multicentricity was evaluat ed. Results The total incidence of multifocal carcinoma in this group was 15.7%.It was 4.9% in primary tumors 4 cm or less and 23.0% in tumors larger than 4 cm (P= 0.014). Vascular invasion and interrupted pseud ocapsule were two significant predictors of multicentricity of RCC (P=0.017 and 0.006). Conclusions In the RCC patients with normal contralateral kidneys, nephron-sparing surgery should be performed only in tumo rs 4 cm or less. In patients nephron-sparing surgery is imperative, even tumors 7 cm or less might be in consideration, but intensive followup is necessary due to the increased incidence of multicentricity.In most cases, a partial nephrect omy instead of tumor enucleation should be performed.
