AIM:We conducted an evaluation of clinical data with meta analysis to investigate the preventive effect of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) on inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD)-associated colorectal cancer ( CRC) or dys-plasia (Dys) (IBD-CRC/Dys).METHODS: The information was retrieved from the main databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, etc.All full-text articles about the prevention of IBD-CRC/Dys by 5-ASA were in-cluded if they conformed to the standards.The odds ratio ( OR) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated. According to the types of IBD and the treatment course, the subgroup analysis was conducted, respectively.RESULTS:Fifteen articles were selected, including 5 038 IBD patients.Pooled analysis showed a protective association between 5-ASA and IBD-CRC/Dys (OR=0.53, 95%CI:0.37~0.76).Among them, both ulcerative colitis patients (OR=0.45, 95%CI:0.27~0.77) and Crohn disease patients ( OR=0.39, 95% CI:0.16~0.97) with 5-ASA therapy were less likely to develop CRC/Dys compared with those without 5-ASA treatment.5-ASA treatment for 1~20 years shows a pre-ventive benefit (OR=0.43, 95%CI:0.25~0.74).However, a minimum 5-ASA exposure of 2~6 months did not show a preventive benefit (OR=0.59, 95%CI:0.26~1.34).CONCLUSION:5-ASA protects against CRC/Dys in IBD pa-tients.Additionally, the protective effect is treatment time dependent.Treatment course for 1~20 years shows an evident preventive benefit.

Objective To study the effect of Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3) infection on islet cells in vitro, and to explore the mechanism of islet cells caused by CVB3. Methods Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells( BMSCs) were separated from the bone marrow and cultured. Then they were induced to differentiate into islet-like cells using nicotinamide and mercaptoethanol. Differentiated cells were detected by morphology , special staining and RT-PCR. Observe CVB3 infection on islet cells under inverse microscope and detect the specific gene fragment by RT-PCR. Results BMSCs showed half suspended shape and gathered to form a cluster after induction. Cells became red brown by dithizone specific staining. RT-PCR also proved the existence of mRNA expressing insulin. Infected islet cells appeared typical pathological changes like shrinks, refraction decreases. RT-PCR detected the desired specific gene fragment of 299 bp in infected islet cells. Conclusion CVB3 can directly injury islet cells, and damage the function of islet cells of secreting insulin.
