Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(18):1195-1198
Objective:To compare the survival of resected gastric cancer patient treated with oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leu-covorin (FOLFOX6) with those treated with oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX). Methods:A total of 147 resected gastric cancer pa-tients accepted the treatment. Among them, 99 were treated with FOLFOX6 and 48 were treated with XELOX. Adverse events and sur-vival rates of the two groups were compared. Results:Incidence of leukopenia and hepatic dysfunction in the FOLFOX6 group was sig-nificantly higher than that of the XELOX group (P<0.05), whereas hand-foot syndrome in the XELOX group was significantly higher than that of the FOLFOX6 group (P=0.016). By contrast, the incidence of other adverse events, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, nau-sea and vomiting, diarrhea, kidney dysfunction, peripheral neurovirulence, and oral mucositis, was not significantly different (P>0.05) between the two groups. After 1, 3, and 5 years, disease-free and overall survivals between the two groups were not significantly differ-ent (P>0.05). Conclusion:The effects of FOLFOX6 and XELOX adjuvant chemotherapies on long-term survival of resected gastric cancer patients were found to have no significant difference.

Objective:To investigate the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG_2 cells induced by PIG11 protein overexpression. Methods:The fluorescent probe 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) was used to label the intracellular ROS in pLXSN-PIG11-HepG_2 cells,pLXSN-HepG_2 cells and HepG_2 cells.The intracellular fluorescence intensity was detected by using the flow cytometry (FCM). The apoptotic ratio of HepG_2 was determined by FCM after elimination of intracellular ROS with 10 mmol/L N-acetylcystine (NAC). Results:The intracellular content of ROS in pLXSN-PIG11-HepG_2 cells was significantly higher than that in pLXSN-HepG_2 cells[(15.60±0.92) vs (4.90±0.70), P<0.01)]. The apoptotic ratio of pLXSN-PIG11-HepG_2 cells was significantly decreased by pretreatment with 10 mmol/L NAC (P<0.01). Conclusion:The apoptosis-inducing effect of PIG11 over-expression is related with elevation of intracellular ROS levels.
