Caveolin-1 is an important surface structural marker of Caveolae. It is closely involved in the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, signal transduction and multi-drug resistance of various tumor cells. Recent studies have found that altered Caveolin-1 expression has dual roles, as a tumor suppressor and promoter, in different stages of gastrointestinal cancer development and progression. The exact mechanisms of Caveolin-1s' involvement in the development of gastrointestinal cancer remain to be clarified and have attracted the attention of a lot of researchers.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. Though the development of multidisciplinary therapy has largely improved the therapy effects, many patients still died of local recurrence and metastases after surgery. Circulating tumor cell (CTC) originates from primary tumor tissues and has a close relationship with cancer metastases and prognosis. This review summarizes the CTC detection methods and relevant clinical research on CTC in recent years.

Background and purpose:Resistance to antitumor agents is a major cause of treatment failure in patients with breast cancer. Research has shown that, tumor stem cell marker aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) is related with some anticancer drugs (such as cyclophosphamide, cisplatin) resistance, and the content of ALDH1 in tumor cells after treatment is higher than that before treatment. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is not expressed in normal tissues, but high expressed in breast cancer of after treatment, it may be associated with the mechanism of tumor drug resistance. This study was to investigate the correlation between expression and the relationship between these two kinds of protein ALDH1, BCRP and clinical pathological characteristics. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of ALDH1 and BCRP in breast inifltrating ductal carcinoma tissues, and whether there is a correlation between and explore their relationship with clinical pathological features and their expression. Results:The expression of ALDH1 protein and BCRP protein in breast cancer and paracarcinoma breast tissues has signiifcant difference(χ2=14.685, P=0.000;χ2=12.243, P=0.000).The expression of ALDH1 with patients age, pathologic stage, axillary lymph node metastasis, histological grading, ER, PR, and HER-2 state were not relevant(P>0.05). HER-2, BCRP protein, expression was higher in cancer tissue (χ2=5.289, P=0.021). There were no relevant with the expression of BCRP with patients age, pathologic stage, axillary lymph node metastasis and histological grading, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2) (P>0.05). Conclusion:ALDH1 proteins may be an independent factor compared with occur drug resistant protein, and participate breast cancer drug resistance in the chemotherapy and tumor invasion and metastasis of malignant biological behavior.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac function of patients with hypertension is impaired to various extents. How does the impairment level of cardiac function of patients with hypertension differ at various stages?OBJECTIVE: To observe cardiac function of patients with hypertension at various stages and compare the indexes with those of healthy people.DESIGN: Case-control and comparative observation.SETTING: Department of Special Treatment, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of the Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 100 patients with hypertension were selected from the Internal Medicine Department of General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of the Chinese PLA between October 2002 and May 2003. Among them, 30 cases of hypertension were at stage Ⅰ , 40 at stage Ⅱ and 30 at stage Ⅲ. At the same time period another 30 healthy people were selected as the control group. All the subjects signed the informed consent.METHODS: Cardiac function of the included subjects were detected with XJS-Ⅰ cardiac function testing equipment. Patients were tested at supine position and electrode was put on the basis of four-probe method.Breath was held at the end of expiration; meanwhile, lead electrocardiograph Ⅰ, cardiophonogram, cardiac admittance differential coefficient method and beating of carotid artery were recorded. Various indexes were processed with the computer. Detected indexes were heart rate, ejection prophase, ejection time of left ventricle, ejection prophase/ejection time of left ventricle, delay time of electro-machine, isovolumetric contraction time, isovolumetric contraction time/ejection time of left ventricle, time of pulse wave transmission, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index,stress index of myocardial contraction, total peripheral resistance, and vascular compliance.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of cardiac function between hypertensive patients at various stages and healthy people.RESULTS: All the 100 patients with primary hypertension and 30healthy people entered the final analysis. [1] Ejection prophase, isovolumetric contraction time, peripheral resistance, ejection prophase/ejection time of left ventricle and isovolumetric contraction time/ejection time of left ventricle: Those of hypertensive patients were obviously longer or stronger than those of the healthy subjects (P ＜ 0.01); those of patients with hypertension at stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ were obviously longer or stronger than those of patients with hypertension at stage Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01). [2] Stroke volume, cardiac output, stress index of myocardial contraction, vascular compliance, time of pulse wave transmission and cardiac index: Those of hypertensive patients were obviously shorter or weaker than those of the healthy subjects (P ＜ 0.01); those of patients with hypertension at stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ were obviously shorter or weaker than those of patients with hypertension at stage Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01). Among the indexes mentioned above, vascular total peripheral resistance of hypertensive patients at stage Ⅲ was obviously stronger than that of hypertensive patients at stage Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05),but vascular compliance of the latter ones was obviously than that of the former ones (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Cardiac function of patients with hypertension is decreased as compared with that of healthy people, and tends to further decrease with the development of hypertensive condition.

On the basis of outpatients' medical records concerning primary liver cancer (PLC), data of 552 patients (with 2020 effective prescriptions) from the Outpatient Department of Changhai Hospital treated by Professor Ling Changquan were collected. The nature, flavor and meridian distribution of the herbs used in the prescriptions were summarized by frequency method, and the features of the herbs used according to syndrome differentiation were analyzed by logistic regression. The couple herbs used were analyzed by cluster analysis. All the data were analyzed in combination with the experience of the specialist. It showed that most of the frequently used herbs were herbs for invigorating the spleen to promote appetite, removing toxic materials to inhibit tumor growth, and activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis. These herbs are mostly of plain or cool nature, and mainly of sweet, bitter, or acrid taste. It also showed that the most frequently used herbs for qi deficiency were Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Pseudostellariae; Caulis Spatholobi and Chinese jujube for blood asthenia; Fructus Corni and Ophiopogon japonicus for yin deficiency; Agastache rugosa, Semen Plantaginis and Poria for water-dampness; cape jasmine fruit and baikal skullcap root for heat excess; peach seed and Radix Paeoniae Rubra for blood stasis; Curcuma wenyujin, Akebia trifoliata and Bupleurum chinese for qi stagnation. A total of 19 pairs of couple herbs were summarized by the cluster analysis.

Objective To investigate the expression of Skp2 and Cx43 in cervical carcinoma and to study their relationships and clinical significance. Methods The expression of Skp2 and Cx43 was examined by immunohistochemical method in 48 cases of cervical carcinoma tissue, 84 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINⅠ - Ⅱ 45 cases, CINⅢ 39 cases), 28 cases of chronic cervicitis. Results Skp2 expression in cervical carcinoma was higher than that in the CINⅠ - Ⅱ and chronic cervicitis (P <0.05), Cx43 expression was lower in cervical carcinoma than that in the CINⅢ, CINⅠ - Ⅱ and chronic cervicitis (P <0.05). The expression of Skp2 was correlated with histological differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P <0.05). The expression of Cx43 was correlated with the lymph node metastasis (P <0.05). Besides, the expression of Skp2had a negative correlation with that of Cx43. Conclusion Skp2 and Cx43 may play an important role in the genesis and development of cervical carcinoma.
