1.Mechanisms of helicobacter pylori on the occurrence of gastric cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):218-220
Helicobacter pylori is one of causes of gastric cancer. It can cause mucosal inflammation cytokines aggregation,gastric mucosal damage;and through a variety of ways to activate epithelial cells multiple oncogenic pathways,including phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase( PI3K)pathway,Wnt-β-catenin and epoxidized synthase-2(COX-2)-prostaglandin E2 antibody(PGE2)pathway,so as to change the gastric stem cell micro-environment and disrupt the gastric stem cell differentiation and proliferation,making the normal gastric stem cells evolved into cancer stem cells.

Background Integrated transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) is a new kind of surface ablation and has a fast reepithelialization and uncorrective visual acuity (UCVA) recovery as well as slighter postoperative pain,and epipolis laser in situ keratomileusis (Epi-LASIK) has been recognized to be an effective method for myopia.But there have been few studies to evaluate the dynamic change of the corneal biomechanical properties and posterior corneal elevation after TransPRK.Objective This study was to assess and compare the effectiveness and safety between TransPRK and Epi-LASIK for myopia with thin cornea.MethodsThis study was approved by Ethic Committee of Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient.In this prospective non-randomized controlled study,93 right eyes of 93 myopic patients with the central corneal thickness 460 to 500 μm were included in Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital from June to December 2013 under the informed consent.The eyes were divided into TransPRK group for 46 eyes and Epi-LASIK group for 47 eyes.UCVA,manifest refraction,haze,corneal biomechanical properties,posterior corneal elevation,Qvalue and corneal high order wavefront aberration were analyzed before and 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after operation,respectively,and the examination results were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the eyes of postoperative UCVA and manifest refraction between the TransPRK group and the Epi-LASIK group at various time points (all at P>0.05).Six months after surgery,the percentage of eyes with UCVA of 1.0 or better was 93.9%,and 90.9% eyes exhibited the targeted refraction in ± 1.00 D in the TransPRK group.Corneal haze was most obvious 1 month after surgery in both groups,with the incidence of 32.6% (15/46) in the TransPRK group and 17.4% (8/47) in the Epi-LASIK group,but no significant difference was found in the eye numbers with haze between the two groups (x2 =2.841,P =0.092).No significant differences were seen in the corneal hysteresis(CH) values and corneal resistance factor(CRF) values between the two groups (CH:Fgroup =0.000,P =0.999;CRF:Fgroup =0.110,P =0.741),however,the postoperative CH values and CRF values were significantly declined in comparison with preoperative ones,with significant differences among various time points (CH:Ftime =103.658,P =0.000;CRF:Ftime =132.008,P =0.000),while there were no remarkable differences between any two time points in postoperation (all at P>0.05).Posterior corneal surface height shifted rearward 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery,showing remarkable differences in comparison with before surgery in both groups (Ftime =12.868,P =0.001),but no significant differences between the two groups (Fgroup =1.923,P=0.169).No significant differences were found in Q-value between the two groups (Fgroup =0.191,P=0.663).Root mean square (RMS) and spherical aberration values elevated in postoperation compared with preoperation,with significant differences between them(all at P<0.01),but the comparison between intergroup was insignificant (RMS:Fgroup =0.299,P =0.586;Spherical aberration:Fgroup =1.290,P =0.259).Conclusions TransPRK for myopia with thin cornea is safe and stably effective like Epi-LASIK.TransPRK affects corneal biomecbanical properties early after surgery but the effect gradually lessens over time.The posterior corneal elevation shows a tiny backward displacement,while posterior corneal asphericity has no change.

Objective To reveal the protective effects of atorvastatin against atherosclerosis independent of cholesterol-lowering effect, we investigated the effects of atorvastation on the expression of protein kinase C (PKC) and C-reactive protein in experimental atherosclerosis of rats.Method Fifty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal diet group (n = 10, control group), vitamin D3 injection and high cholesterol diet group (n = 40). After 8 weeks, vitamin D3 injection and high cholesterol diet rats were randomized to receive either atorvastatin (5 mg. kg-1. d-1) (n = 20, atorvastatin group) or normal diet (n = 20, model group). Another eight weeks later, all rats were killed and part of their aortas were examined by light and electron microscope and the left were removed for western blot analysis to measure PKC; At the begin and end of experiment, serumcollected for lipid and C-reactive protein determining determination.Results Cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglyceride levels in atorvastatin group were significantly lower than those in model group but higher than control group. The pathologic changes in atorvastatin group were less severe than those in model group, there showed no any pathological changes in control group. The levels of C-reactive protein in model group[(18.64 ± 0.94) mg/L] were higher than those in control group [(9.21 ± 0.21)mg/L] (P<0.05). C-reactive protein levels also differed significantly between control and atorvastatin group (12.52 ± 0.65 mg/L)( P<0.05). PKC levels were significantly higher in model group (7786.12 ± 264.75)and atorvastatin group (4267.57 ± 233.94) than in control group (2468.75 ± 145.53)(all P<0.05). But compared with model group, PKC levels were markedly lower in the atorvastatin group ( P<0.01 ).Conclusions Atorvastatin may be useful not only as a cholesterol-lowering agents but also as anti-arteriosclerotic agent that provide vascular protection by inhibition PKC expression and inflammatory reaction.

Objective To evaluate the value of 3.0T magnetic resonance multi-b value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in evaluating the efficacy of chemotherapy for patients with central lung squamous cell carcinoma and atelectasis. Methods Twenty patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (including T1WI, T2WI and multi-b value DWI) before chemotherapy, 2 cycles of chemotherapy and 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The images, the tumor volume and changes of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were analyzed. Results In the patients with central lung cancer and atelectasis, the tumor and atelectasis could be distinguished on MRI examination before radiotherapy. It was more easily identified on T2WI images after radiotherapy. In the 20 patients, the ADC values in the effective group (partial remission or complete remission) and the invalid group were increased, but the differences of ADC values in the effective group before chemotherapy, 2 cycles and 4 cycles of chemotherapy were statistically significant [b=800 s/mm2:(1.09 ± 0.52) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.22 ± 0.59) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.24 ± 0.52) × 10-6 mm2/s, F = 31.19, P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in ADC values between before and after chemotherapy (b = 800 s/mm2: (1.10 ± 0.49) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.16 ± 0.60) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.20 ± 0.72) × 10-6 mm2/s, F=2.86, P=0.089]. When b=800 s/mm2, the ADC curve slope in the effective group was more stable, better linearity. Conclusions The MRI technique can accurately distinguish the tumor from atelectasis before and after chemotherapy. The change of ADC value after chemotherapy is earlier than that of morphological change. The change rate of b value can better evaluate the curative effect of chemotherapy.
