Objective To study the effect of matrine on the expression of a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) in colorectal cancer cell line (SW480 cell). Methods MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of matrine on SW480 cells. The protein and mRNA levels of APRIL in SW480 cells were determined by immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR). SW480 cells were treated with 0.5,1.0,2.0 mg/ml of matrine for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. FU and blank were served as drug control and blank control groups, respectively. Results Matrine had obviously inhibitory effect on proliferation of SW480 cells in a time- and dose-dependant manner. The expression of APRIL was strong in SW480 cells. When treated with 50,100,200 ug/ml of FU, the APRIL mRNA levels in SW480 cells raised gradually and reached the highest levels at 72 h after treatment, which were significantly higher than those in blank control group (all P value<0.001). When treated with 0. 5,1.0, 2.0 mg/ml of matrine, the APRIL mRNA levels in SW480 cells increased at 24 h after treatment, which were significantly higher than those in blank control group (all P value<0. 001), and then decreased gradually and almost equal to level of blank control group at 72 h. Conclusion In treatment with FU, the survival cells.may have stronger ability of proliferation due to higher expression of APRIL in SW480 cells. Anti-APRIL therapy might be an important assistant treatment to counter the impact of APRIL. Matrine will not cause persistent increase of APRIL mRNA levels in SW480 cells, so it might be a helpful drug in anti-tumor theraphy.

Objective To observe the effects of 5-fluorouraeil(5-FU)and eisplatin(DDP)on the expression of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)and Toll-like receptor4(TLR4)in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2 and HepG2.2.15.Methods Direct immanotlaorescenee flow cytometry was used to detect mean flubrescence intensity(MFI)of TLR2 and TLR4,and TLR2 and TLR4 positive cell percentage in HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells before and after treated with 5-FU.and DDP at various concentrations for 24h,48h and 72h.Results MFI of TLR2 and TLR4.and TLR2 and 11LR4 positive cell percentage in HepG2.2.15 cells were significantly higher than those in HepG2(P＜0.01).After HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells were treated with different concentration of 5-FU and DDP,MFI of TLR2 and TLR4,TLR2 and TLR4 positive cell percentage in HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells almost had no change.only MFI of TLR2 in HepG2.2.15 cells decreased after cells were treated with 5-FU at the concentrations of 100,200μg/ml and DDP at the concentrations of 20μg/ml for 72h(P＜0.05 for all).Conclusions 5-FU and DDP can not activate TLR2 and TLR4 signal pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2 and HepG2.2.15.To find the activated pathway in TLR2 and TLR4 signal pathway,some other methods should be used,and this will be helpful in antieancer therapy.

Objective To study the change of TLR4 on peripheral blood monoeytes (PBMCs) and its role in the pathogenesis of chronic severe hepatitis B. Methods The expression of TLR4 on 10000 CDI4 + PBMCs was determined by flow eytometer in 30 healthy control,31 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 30 patients with chronic severe hepatitis B. The level of serum tumor necrosis factor α(TNF- α) was determined by ELISA. Results The values of TLR4 on PBMCs and serum TNF-αof the groups of healthy control, patients with chronic hepatitis B and patients with chronic severe hepatitis B were 2.3±1.1,3.7±2.3, (6.9±4.1 ) mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and (53.8±38.1 ), ( 164.3±89.9) and (359.8±140.0) ng/L. The TLR4 value in patients with chronic severe hepatitis B was signifi- cant higher than those in healthy control and the patients with chronic hepatitis B ( P <0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the patients with chronic hepatitis B and healthy control ( P > O. 05 ). TNF-α increased gradually and significantly from the healthy control to the patients with chronic hepatitis B and patients with chronic severe hepatitis B. There was a significant positive correlation be- tween the value of TLR4 and the value of serum TNF-αin the patients with chronic severe hepatitis B( r=0.666, P <0.01). Conclusion There may be a role of TLR4 in the pathogenesis of chronic severe hepatitis B.

Objective To observe the changes of serum sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) level in asthmatic patients with different severity of bronchial asthma, and to explore the evaluation value of S1P on the severity of asthma.Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. Fifty-two patients with asthma admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University from November 2015 to January 2017 were enrolled. According to the severity of the disease, the patients were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups. In the same period, 25 healthy subjects were served as healthy control group. All the subjects got the peripheral venous blood collection in the morning fasting, the level of serum S1P was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) was counted, and the pulmonary function test was performed. The correlation among the parameters was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted, and the value of serum S1P on evaluating the severity of asthma was analyzed.Results Fifty-two asthma patients were enrolled, including 17 patients of the mild, 19 of the moderate, and 16 of the severe. Compared with the healthy control group, serum S1P level and peripheral blood EOS in different degree asthma groups were significantly increased, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was decreased significantly; and with asthma exacerbations, serum S1P levels and peripheral blood EOS were gradually increased [mild, moderate and severe S1P (nmol/L) were 1537.0±120.3, 1980.7±149.5, 2202.2±117.2 (F= 274.624, P= 0.001); EOS (×109/L) were 0.13±0.06, 0.20±0.07, 0.37±0.14 , respectively (F= 44.093,P = 0.001)], and FEV1 was decreased gradually [mild, moderate and severe were 0.89±0.05, 0.63±0.06, 0.42±0.10, respectively (F= 159.756,P = 0.001)]. Correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations between serum S1P level and peripheral blood EOS in patients with mild, moderate and severe asthma (r value was 0.696, 0.746,0.508, allP < 0.05), and negatively correlations with FEV1 were found (r value was -0.761, -0.655, -0.815, all P < 0.01). There was no significant correlation between serum S1P level and EOS, FEV1 in healthy control group (r value was 0.324 and -0.048, bothP> 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of serum S1P for assessing mild, moderate and severe asthma was 0.948, 1.000, 1.000, respectively; when the cut-off of S1P was 1181.8, 1534.2, 1708.6 nmol/L, the sensitivity was 88.2%, 100%, 100%, and the specificity was 88.0%, 100% and 100%, respectively.Conclusions During asthma attack, the serum S1P level was gradually increased with the exacerbation of the disease. Serum S1P level has significant evaluative effect on the severity of asthma.

Objective To investigate the role of TLR4 in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B(CHB) by study the expression of TLR4 in liver tissues in patients with CHB, and the relationship among TLR4 and serum HBV DNA level, clinical severity degrees and histo-logical grades and stages. Methods Expression of TLR4 in liver tissues was semi-quantitatively determined by immunohistochemistry and e-valuated by a scoring system in 75 patients with CHB and 10 health controls. Results The positive staining of TLR4 mainly located in the cytoplasm and some on cell membrane of bepatocytes. Expression of TLR4 in the liver tissues of patients with CHB was stronger than that of health controls. The scores of TLR4 expression in patients with mild, moderate and severe CHB were 1.0±0.5,2.3±0.5 and 2.9±0.4. The scores increased gradually and significantly along with the increase of clinical severity degrees( F = 104.8, P<0.01). The scores of TLR4 expression in the liver tissues of patients with CHB were positively correlated with the clinical severity degrees (r=0.838, P<0.01) and histological grades (r=0.579, P<0.05), but not correlated with Lg (serum HBV DNA) or histological stages. Conclusion TLR4 was up-regulated in the hepatocytes of patients with CHB. There may be a role of TLR4 in the pathogenesis of CHB.

This review summarized the risk factors of postoperative anastomotic leakage base on two aspects, and so on. Perioperative related factors and biological markers, aiming to provide a theory for predicting anastomotic leakage then improving the treatment outcomes of colorectal cancer patients .

Gut microbiota plays an important role in the development of colorectal cancer, such as Fusobacterium Nucleatum, Peptostreptococcus and Streptococcus thermophilus. At present, Surgery is the mainly treatment strategy of colorectal cancer patients, supplemented by postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The influence of gut microbiota on colorectal cancer is not limited to the tumor itself. After tumor resection, gut microbiota is still in a state of disorder, which will affect the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients. Therefore, understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and prognosis of colorectal cancer is helpful to improve the prognosis of patients and reduce postoperative complications. In this review, the author will summarize the influence of gut microbiota on short-term and long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (combination of taxanes and anthracyclines ) induced-neutropenia and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and long-term survival in operable breast cancer patients. Methods Two hundred and eleven patients received 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (combination of taxanes and anthracyclines).Clinicopathological characteristics were compared between patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and patients without neutropenia. The efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotheray and long-term survival rate were analyzed. Results Among 211 patients there were 51 (24. 2% ) cases suffering from neutropenia and 160 (75.8%) cases were of no-neutropenia. The response to chemotherapy in patients with neutropenia were more effective than in no- neutropenia ones ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with neutropenia was 82. 4%, while the 5-year disease-free survival ( DFS) with nonneutropenia was 60% ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Additionally, the 5-year overall survival ( OS ) in patients with neutropenia was 90. 2% and in patients with non-neutropenia patients was 67. 5% ( P ＜ 0. 01 ).Conclusions Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia during neoadjuvant chemotherapy combination of taxanes and anthracyclines in patients with operable breast cancer has a better prognosis. The sensitivity of tumors given to chemotherapeutic drugs could be evaluated by chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
