1.Assay of the Activities of Human Tumor Necrosis Factor and Natural Killer Cell in Patients with Lung Cancer
Journal of Chinese Physician 2000;0(12):-
To study the changes of activities of tumor necrosis factor(TNF),natural killer cell (NKC) in patients with lung cancer and clarify the influence of clinical factors on the activities,we observed the level of TNF from peripheral blood cells by detective method of whole blood cell-derived TNF,and NKC activity was also observed with DNA-fluorometric assay for cytotoxic effect in thirty-five patients with lung cancer.The results showed that the NK activity in lung cancer patient was seriously inhibited and got worse with disease phase progress,tumor size and the extent of lymph node metastasis,but it was not associated with the pathological type.The extent and time of reduction of NK activity were related to the quality of primary lesion.As for the changes of TNF activity,PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) were activated under the presence of tumor to secrete a high level of TNF,which was not related to the stage of disease,the tumor diameter,the extent of lymph node metastasis and type of pathology.These results indicate that the cellular immune function in lung cancer patient is seriously impaired,and the function of immunoregulation is in a complicated chaotic status.We consider that the determination of the activities of TNF and NKC may provide a theoretical evidence for comprehensive treatment of patients with lung cancer.

Objective To establish the expression of exogenous tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) gene in human umbilical vein endotheliocytes to provide both theoretical basis and new method for gene therapy of ischemic heart disease and prevention of postoperative vessel re-stenosis. Methods Expression vector pcDNA3 1(+)TPA was constructed, and transfected into human umbilical vein endotheliocytes cultivated in vitro by lyposome. The exogenous TPA expression was observed. Results The expression vector pcDNA3 1(+)TPA could efficaciously express TPA in human umbilical vein endotheliocytes. The protein quantity of TPA in the transfected cells was 568 6ng/10 6cell/24h, when measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, while that in the non-transfected cells was 17 8ng/10 6 cell/24h. The exogenous TPA's activity in the transfected cells was 108 8IU/10 6cell/24h, when measured by chromogenic substrate assay, while that in the non-transfected cells was 5 6 IU/10 6cell/24h. Conclusion When pcDNA3 1(+)TPA was transfected into human umbilical vein endotheliocytes, exogenous TPA could be expressed efficaciously, which provides theoretical basis and new method for TPA gene therapy of ischemic heart disease.

Objective To explore significance and impact of hypoxia inducible factor 1α,metastasis associated with colon cancer 1 and transcription factor FOXO4 in gastric carcinoma and clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis .Methods 110 samples diagnosed as gastric carcinoma and 46 samples diagnosed as pericarcinomatous tissue which was 5 cm far away from cancer were collected in first affiliated hospital of Anhui medical university from December 2006 to May 2008 .Immunohistochemical stai-ning was performed in these samples to detect the expressions of HIF-1α,MACC1 and FOXO4 .And the correlation between devel-opment of gastric carcinoma and expressions of HIF-1α,MACC1 and FOXO4 was analyzed with the help of patients′messages .Ka-plan-Meier method and Cox regression were used to analyze patients′5 years survival rate and the factors .Results The expression levels of HIF-1α(P<0 .001) and MACC1(P<0 .001) in gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than pericarcinomatous tissues ,however the expression levels of FOXO4(P<0 .001) was significantly decreased in gastric carcinoma tissues .Statistical a-nalysis revealed that the expressions of HIF-1αand MACC1 were apparently increased with the lower degree of cell differentiation , the greater degree of tumor infiltration ,accompanied with lymph node metastasis and higher TNM scores ,but lowered the expres-sion of FOXO4 factor .There were significant correlations between expressions of the three factors in gastric carcinoma .The expres-sions of HIF-1α,MACC1 and FOXO4 had an apparent influence on the patients′5 years survival rate .And they were independent factors on the prognosis of gastric carcinoma .Conclusion HIF-1α,M ACC1and FOXO4 are abnormal expression in gastric cancer tissue ,and the clinical pathological features of gastric cancer and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer are closely related .

Objective To evalume the efficacy and side effect of capecitabine combined chemotherapy regimen in treatment of advanced cohrectal cancer in senile patients.Methods Seventy-seven cases senile patients with advanced colorectal cancer were randomly divided in two groups.capecitabine combination group (36 cases) received oxaliplatin (L-OHP)+ eapecitabine regimen, OLF group (41 cases) received L-OHP+ FU/CF regimen. The efficacy and side effect were observed and compared between two groups.Results eapecitabine combination group:the cfficiency rate was 41.67%,the tumor control rate was 77.78%.meso-tumor to progression was 7.9 months.OLF group:the efficiency rate was 39.02%,the tumor control rate was 75.61%,meso-tumor to progression was 7.2 months.The effectiveness in two groups had no significant difference (P>005).There was no serious chemotherapy related side effect in two groups.The rates of marrow inhibition,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,alopecia,rash,the lesion of liver and renal function and peripheral neuritis were similar in two groups.The rate of hand-foot syndrome was apparently higher in capecitabine combination group compared with OLF group (P<0.05).Conclusions For senile advanced colorectal cancer patienrs,the treatment efficiency is similar between capecitabiae combination regimen and OLF regimen,the side effect is all tolerated in two regimens.capecitabine combination regimen is oral adminisuered and decurates hospitnlization time and improved the life quality of senile patients.capecitabine combination regimen is a suitable fast-line regimen for senile advanced colorectal cancer pafients.

Objective To investigate clinical value of miRNA-27-3p expressed in colorectal cancers,liver metastasis,and the peripheral blood,and analyze its target genes.Methods Among 78 cases of colorectal cancer patients,sera,colorectal cancers,and liver metastases were used to detect miRNA-27a-3p expressions with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and analyze its clinical significance.We predicted miRNA-27-3p target genes,and confirmed the target genes and their correlation between miRNA-27a-3p and target genes.Results The expression level of miRNA-27a-3p in 78 cases of colorectal cancers was 3.13 ± 1.72,which was significantly higher than that in matched adjacent cancer tissues (1.06 ± 0.42) and control group (0.68 ± 0.27) (P < 0.05).The expression level of miRNA-27a-3p in 27 cases of liver metastases was 3.48 ± 1.15,which was significantly higher than that in paired colorectal cancer tissues (2.34 ± 1.03) (P <0.05) and adjacent tissues (0.81 ± 1.14) (P <0.05).Expression levels of miRNA-27a-3p in patients with colorectal cancer tissues and peripheral blood had no significant difference in age,sex,serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels,tumor location,and pathological types (P > 0.05);however,it had positive significant difference in lymph node metastasis,liver metastasis,tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging (P < 0.05).The expression of miRNA-27a-3p was negatively correlated with the expression of target gene GP73.Conclusions The higher expression was miRNA-27a-3p in peripheral blood and colorectal cancer tissues,higher risk of liver metastasis occurs.MiRNA-27a-3p might participate in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer by regulating target gene expression of GP73.In peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients,miRNA-27a-3p might be used for potential auxiliary diagnosis and predict liver metastasis.
