Objective To study the effects of the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1?) induced by FasL on the invasiveness of rectal cancer cells. Methods With molecular cloning method, eukaryotic expression vectors of pcDNA3.1 FasL containing total length of FasL cDNA sequence were transfected into human rectal cancer cells HR-8348. The cell invasiveness was examined. A hypoxia model of HR-8348 was reproduced, and its invasiveness was assessed with transwell methodology. Expression of HIF-1? was assayed by Western bloting. Results The number of HR-8348 cells transfected with FasL penetrated transwell filter membrane was larger (12.930?2.434) than that of empty vector transfected cells (7.670?2.093) and control cells (8.133?1.959) with statistically significant differences (P0.05), but it was significantly higher in FasL positive HR-8348 cells than in FasL negative cells at 12h and 24h after hypoxia (P0.05). Conclusions FasL is an effective factor inducing HIF-1? expression, and FasL expression correlates positively with HIF-1? expression. Enhanced FasL expression in rectal cancer cells could induce higher expression of HIF-1?, enable the tumor cells to adapt to hypoxia environment, and enhance the invasiveness of tumor cells.

Objective To study the significance of monitoring postoperative hematogenous micrometastasis of colorectal cancer. Methods The micrometastatic cancer cells in peripheral blood and bone marrow of the perioperative patients were investigated by CK20 mRNA RT-PCR. Results The positive rates(16.3%) of hematogenous dissemination without relapse or metastasis after operation were significantly lower than that(88.9%) in patients with postoperative relapse or metastasis. There were four types of hematogenous dissemination. (1) Postoperative temporary negatives.(2)Consistant positives. (3) CK-20 turned positive postoperatively. (4) Consistant negatives. All the 6 patients that died had positive CK-20 preoperatively. Conclusions The hematogenous dissemination of colorectal cancer plays an important role in postoperative relapse. The dynamic monitoring of CK-20 predicts hematogenous dissemination of colorectal cancer.

Objective To verify the best treatment strategy in reducing prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression and death rate in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer by a meta-analysis. Methods The literature search strategy was followed according to the Collaborative Review Group search strategy. Published data of randomized clinical trials comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) plus adjuvant therapy to either RP alone or other treatment were analyzed. Both fixed effect model and randomized effect model were applied and odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was also used as the effect size 'estimate. Results Eight clinical trials were chosen with total in-volved cases of 3826. There were 5 trials compared post radical prostatectomy plus adjuvant hormonal therapy with radical prostatectomy alone. PSA progression was used as the indicator of progression and the combined OR was 0.86 (95%CI 0.48-1.56). There were 3 trails compared the combination of radical prostateetomy with hormonal therapy and radical prostatectomy alone. Disease specific death rate was used as the evaluating criteria and the OR was 0.72(95%CI,0.51-1.02). Conclusion RP plus adjuvant hormonal therapy can reduce PSA progression of patients with locally advanced pros-tate cancer, but it has no significant effect on disease specific death rate.
