Objective:To investigate the correlation between microRNA-497 (miR-497) expression and invasion and metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The expression of miR-497 in 93 CRC patients (CRC group), 30 colorectal adenoma polyps (colorectal adenomatous polyp group) and 30 healthy patients (normal control group)were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR); meanwhile, the content of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was detected by chemiluminescence; After 3 years follow-up, the expression of miR-497 was measured again; the correlation between the expression of miR-497 and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of CRC was analyzed.Results:The expression of miR-497 in CRC group was significantly lower than that at the end of postoperative treatment, adenomatous polyps group and normal control group ( P<0.01), and the content of CEA in CRC group was significantly higher than that at the end of postoperative treatment, adenomatous polyps group and normal control group ( P<0.01); At the end of postoperative treatment, the expression of serum miR-497 in CRC group was lower than that in normal control group ( P<0.05), and the content of serum CEA was higher than that in normal control group ( P<0.05). The diagnosis positive rate of serum miR497 expression in CRC group was significantly higher than that of serum CEA ( P<0.01), and they showed no correlation ( r=0.232, P>0.05). The pre-and post-operative serum miR-497 expression levels in the recurred and metastasis group were significantly lower than those in the no postoperative recurrence and metastasis group ( P<0.01). The preoperative expression of miR-497 was related to the differentiation degree of CRC, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and survival period ( P<0.01), but not with the age, sex, tumor size and location of the patients ( P>0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that tumor differentiation, TNM stage, preoperative miR-497 expression, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were all independent risk factors influencing prognosis of CRC patients ( P<0.05); The survival rate of 1, 2, 3 years in the miR-497 low expression group was lower than that in the miR-497 high expression group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The preoperative low serum miR-497 expression levels are closely relative with invasion and metastasis and poor prognosis of CRC, and can be a prognostic indicator of CRC. The reduced postoperative serum miR-497 expression levels may be a predictor of the postoperative recurrence and metastasis of CRC.

Objection To investigate the spectrum and survival status of HIV positive cancer in HuBei province, China. Methods HIV positive cancer patients were added up and followed up who had registered in Zhongnan Hospital between January 2004 and June 2009. The prognostic features were determined for HIV patients with cancer. Results The average age of HIV positive and HIV negative group who suffered with malignant neoplasm were 42.5±8.8 years and 55.1±13.7 years respectively (P <0.05), mean CD4 counts were (220.9±142.3)/μl and (554.4±174.3)/μl, respectively (P <0.05), the types of common cancer were NHL, cervical cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, respectively. Anticancer and/or ART treatment were the important positive prognostic factors. Additional factors such as age and CD4 count were associated with survival of cancer patients with HIV infection. Conclusion Mean age of HIV positive cancer patients is about 42 years old. NHL, cervical cancer and liver cancer are HIV associated malignant tumor. ART and anticancer can effectively prolong the survival of HIV infected patients with cancer.
