Objective To explore the clinical features and possible carcinogenesis mechanism of the ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colorectal cancer. Methods From 1984 to 2008, 6 clinical cases of UC-associated colorectal cancer were collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The characters of morbidity, clinical features, pathology type, treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was performed to study the protein expression of adenomatous polyposis coli protein(APC), β-catenin, P53 and Wnt-1 in the specimens. Results The canceration of UC was 1.1 %, higher in female cases (5/6), the average duration was 14.3 years. All cases presented typical UC manifestation, most involved total colon (5/6) and none of them complicated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). There were 4 rectal cancers and 2 descending colon caners the UC cases collected. The major pathology type was adenocarcinoma with poor prognosis. The positive protein expression ratio of APC, β-catenin, P53 and Wnt-1 were 6/6, 6/6, 5/6 and 6/6 respectively.Conclusion The rectal cancer should be monitored and prevented in UC patients with total colon involved and long disease duration. Multi-pathway may possibly be involved in the carcinogenesis.

Objective: Through treatment based on differentiation of symptoms and signs and classification of defi nited patients of maternofetal blood group incompatibility, detecting anti-A or Anti-B antibody and erythrocyte immune complex chaplet rate(RICR) and erythrocyte receptor chaplet rate(RC3bR) , etc, to observe the therapeutic effect and mechanism of prescriptions mainly with Yinchenhao Decoction. Methods: Patients definited maternofetal blood group incompatibility were divided into control group and observation group according to random principle in 1:3 ratio. Then, observation group was divided into moist heat group(SRG), moist heat and defi ciency of spleen qi group (SR+PQXG) and moist heat and defi ciency of kidney qi group(SR+SQXG) according to syndrome differentiation. Corresponding prescriptions were used, every 30 doses 1 course. Before and after treatment, the anti-A or anti-B antibody and RICR, RC3bR were detected in peripheral blood. Results: In Yinchenhao Decoction group with 21 cases, the anti-A or anti anti-B antibody decreased, including 5 case (1:64) and 4 case (1:32). In group of syndrome differentiation with 63 cases, the anti-A or anti anti-B antibody decreased, including 33 case(1:64) and 20 case (1:32). Before and after treatment, RICR of control group and observation group were(19.43?5.29), (19.57?6.50)and (20.59? 7.96), (23.77?5.12), respectively. RC3bR were(11.62?4.16), (12.42?6.60)and(11.93?4.10), (13.96?6.40)respectively. There was signifi cant difference of before and after treatment in obserbation group(P0.05). Conclusion: In cutting down anti-A and anti-B antibody, and increasing RICR and RC3bR fi eld, the observation groups were better than control group.

Objective To study the characteristics of DWI in nude mice models of hepatic Bel7402 tumors after treatment with adenovirus-mediated cytosine diaminase-thymidine kinase ( Ad.CD-TK) double suicide gene therapy, and then to identify whether DWI can be used for assessing curative effect of postoperative tumors.Methods Thirty nude mice models of hepatic Be17402 tumors were successfully created using cell suspension method,after the tumor grew to more than 1 cm in diameter,20 tumor models were treated by intratumoral administration of Ad.CD-TK for 3 days plus intraperitonea( i.p.) treatment with 5-Fc and GCV for the duration of the study.Then they were randomly divided into three groups during 5-Fc and GCV treatment.The remaining 10 tumor models were used as controls.MR scanning were performed in 10th day before and after tumor implantation in all models by using EPI-SE series and SENSE technology for treatment group. Tumor volumes and ADC values were calculated pretreatment and posttreatment. Cell apoptosis were determined by using TUNEL method.Analyze the change of ADC and apoptosis index (AI) in different times,t test was used for comparison the difference of AI and ADC values respectively.
