Objective To discuss the growth suppressing, apoptosing effect of new type tumor-supressor gene-p33ING1 in stomach cancer cell strain, and to explore new strategies and methods in tumor therapy. Methods The PCDNA3/p33ING1 nuclear expressing microsome was constructed, p33ING1 and wt-p53 were implanted to human stomach cancer cell both and to evaluate the effect of p33ING1 and p53 toward stomach cancer cell and synergism between them. Results The PCDNA3/p33ING1 nuclear expressing microsome was successfully constructed. The human stomach cancer cell strain SSCG-7901 under implantation of p33ING1 and wt-p53 showed a significant decrease in cell growth, the coupling time was delayed, DNA synthetic phase was shortened and G0/G1 phase prolonged. The cell collapse increased. Conclusions Despite of the tumor-inhibiting effect and biochemical activation of p33ING1, it also plays a role with p53 gene in controling growth of stomach cancer cell, inducing cell collapse and hampering cell proliferation cycle. P33ING1 and p53 are synergistic to each other.

Objective To assess the prognostic value of C-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods The study comprised 406 ccRCC patients undergoing nephrectomy between January 2003 and December 2012 in our hospital.There were 253 males and 153 females,aged 24-80 years,with a median age of 58 years.There were 355 cases with TNM Ⅰ stage,38 cases with Ⅱ stage,30 cases with Ⅲ stage,3 cases with Ⅳ stage.There were 376 cases with tumor necrosis and 40 cases without tumor necrosis.There were 395 cases of vascular invasion,21 cases without vessel invasion.The correlations among the pretreatment CRP/Alb ratio,clinicopathological parameters,and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.We compared the prognostic value of the CRP/Alb ratio with GPS and mGPS using the area under the curve (AUC).Results CRP/Alb ratio was associated with age at surgery (P =0.007),TNM stage (P < 0.001),tumor necrosis (P < 0.001) and lymphovascular invasion (P < 0.001),and OS (P < 0.001).The multivariate analysis confirmed that the CRP/Alb ratio independently predicted the OS of patients with ccRCC (P < 0.001),the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) (P =0.001) and modified GPS (mGPS) (P =0.019) were also independent prognostic factors.For predicting 3-year survival,the AUC values for CRP/Alb (continuous),CRP/Alb (categorical),GPS and mGPS were 0.88,0.84,0.85,0.80.For predicting 5-year survival,the AUC values for CRP/Alb (continuous),CRP/Alb (categorical),GPS and mGPS were 0.80,0.79,0.76,0.72.The CRP/Alb ratio was superior to GPS and mGPS in predicting the 3-or 5-year survival rate of ccRCC patients.Conclusions The CRP/Alb ratio could be an independent prognostic factor in ccRCC patients.The CRP/Alb ratio could take the place of the GPS and mGPS in terms of predicting prognosis in ccRCC.
