Background and purpose:The risk of recurrence for colorectal cancer after curative surgery is up to 30%-40%. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between time to relapse (TTR) of colorectal cancer with clinical pathological parameters and overall survival after recurrence. Methods:We carried out the analysis of clinical data, pathological examination and follow up information of 375 colorectal cancer patients who admitted to Liaoning Cancer Hospital. Patients were categorized into relapse at<2, 2-5 and>5 years following their initial surgery. Results:TTR was associated with the clinical stage at diagnosis and liver or lung metastasis status. Short TTR (<2 years) was positively associated with survival. However, there was no significant difference in survival between patients who relapsed at 5 years or later compared with those who relapsed between 2 and 5 years. Conclusion:TTR within 2 years is an important predictor of shorter survival for colorectal cancer patients who experienced a relapse.

OBJECTIVETo explore the influence of miR-34a on Notch1 expression in breast cancer cells, and to explore the role of miR-34a in the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to Adriamycin (ADR).
METHODSThe expression of miR-34a in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Cells were transfected with miR-34a mimics or inhibitor using Lipofectamine 2000. Expression of Notch1 in the two groups before and after transfection was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot. MTT test and apoptosis assay were performed to observe the impact of miR-34a expression on the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to ADR. Statistical analysis of the results was conducted using SPSS 16.0 software. The experiment was repeated independently for at least three times, and had a good reproducibility. The data were shown as mean ± standard deviation. The analysis of variance between groups used one-way ANOVA test. Correlation between groups was analyzed using Spearman rank test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTSCompared with the control MCF-7 cells, the relative expression level of miR-34a in MCF-7/ADR cells was significantly decreased to 0.02 (P < 0.05). In the MCF-7 ADR-resistant cells, Notch1 mRNA expression was increased compared with that in the MCF-7 ADR-sensitive cells (2.10 ± 0.20-fold, P < 0.05). The expression levels of Notch1 mRNA and protein in MCF-7/ADR cells transfected with miR-34a mimics were significantly up-regulated. On the contrary, the expressions of Notch1 mRNA and protein in MCF-7 cells transfected with miR-34a inhibitor were down-regulated. The IC50 value of ADR in the control MCF-7/ADR cells and cells transfected with miR-34a mimics was (116.33 ± 16.80) and (39.28 ± 4.12) µmol/L, respectively (P < 0.05). The IC50 value of ADR in control MCF-7 cells and cells transfected with miR-34a inhibitor was (0.29 ± 0.21) and (0.51 ± 0.03) µmol/L, respectively (P < 0.05). Further, overexpression of miR-34a significantly enhanced apoptosis in the ADR-treated MCF-7/ADR cells, and miR-34a inhibitor reduced apoptosis in the ADR-treated MCF-7 cells.
CONCLUSIONSmiR-34a negatively regulates the expression of Notch1 at both mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression of miR-34a may sensitize MCF-7/ADR cells to adriamycin.

In this paper is presented an analysis of the mechanical effect of horizontal rotating bioreactor on cell culture. Getting the microgravity of the bioreactor and the shear stress on canine mesenchymal stem cells (cMSCs) with theoretic calculating model and differential equations, we have validated the density,growth rate and modality of cultured cell by scanning electron microscopy. The horizontal rotating bioreactor which we developed could create the mechanic environment of microgravity (K<8.38 X 10(-2))and low shear stress(r<1.62 dyn/cm2) in theory. The results of scanning electron microscopy indicated that the cells' growth-speed, quantity and modality in bioreactor were better than those of cells cultured in static 24-well plate. The mechanical environment of the rotating bioreactor is propitious for keeping better modality and more rapid proliferation of cMSCs. The rotating bioreactor is a novel approach and technique it is superior to static culture.
