International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(11):757-760
SELDI-TOF-MS is a novel proteomic technique.It reveals some new biomarkers which could be used for early diagnosis,preoperative staging and predicting response to radiochemotherapy of colorectal cancer.These new biomarkers were validated to be more sensitive and specific than traditional hiomarkers.SELDI-TOF-MS will be a useful tool for early diagnosis and tailor-made therapy of eolorectal cancer.
2.Transcriptional Regulation and Epigenetic Control of Expression of Natural Killer Cell Receptors and Their Ligands
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(03):-
Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the immune response to viral infection and tumors.The ability of NK cells depends on the integrated signals across the array of stimulatory and inhibitory receptors engaged upon interaction with target cell surface ligands. Some stimulators, including viruses, tumor cells and hot shock, could promote the expression of NKG2 receptors and their ligands via activating certain transcription factors which are capable of up-regulating NKG2 promoters' activity. Meanwhile, epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation and histone posttranslational modifications are also critical to expression of NKG2 receptors and their ligands and may control the clonally distribution of some NK cell receptors. Investigating the epigenetic mechanisms of NK cell receptors and their ligands might helpful to the rational design of therapy against infection, inflammation, cancer or autoimmune diseases.

Objeetive To probe the clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary gastric lymphoma (PGL). Methods Clinical data of 23 PGL patients identified by postoperative pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Sixteen patients underwent subtotal gastrectomy,3 patients underwent total gastrectomy,2 patients underwent palliative resection and 2 patients underwent exploratory laparotomy only. Postoperatively 21 patients received adjuvant treatment(chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy).The variables analyzed were type of surgery, histological type in accordance with Kiel's classification, Involvement of lymph nodes. Ann Arbor stage classification. Results The overall 5-year survival rate of these patients Was 80%,that of low grade malignancy patients was 90%,and of high grade malignancy was 40%.Thirteen patients were classified as stage Ⅰ E and seven as stageⅡE and three as stageⅢor Ⅳ,the 5-year survival rate was 90%,67%and 0,respectively.Nineteen patients underwent radical resection with 5-year survival rate of 92.3%.No patients undergoing palliative resection have survived more than 5 years. The prognosis of PGL with low grade malignancy and that of early stages(IE and Ⅱ E)and those undergoing radical excision was better than those with high grade malignancy, that of advanced stage(Ⅲand Ⅳ),and that undergoing palliative resection. Conclusions Preoperative diagnosis relies mainly on gastroscopy with biopsy and CT scan. For patients with early stage disease,radical resection combined with adjuvant therapy is the key factor in improving the prognosis. Chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy is useful management for patients with advanced stage disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of moderate static magnetic fields (SMF) on secretion of inflammato?ry factors tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in human monocytic leukemic cell line THP-1. Methods THP-1 cells at logarithmic phase were divided into control group and magnetic treatment group. CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation after THP-1 cells were exposed to 60 mT, 200 mT and 400 mT static magnetic fields at 18, 24 and 48 h. Then THP-1 cells were divided into control group, magnetic treatment group, LPS activation group and LPS+SMF treatment group. When magnetic treatment group and LPS+SMF treatment group were ex?posed to SMF at 18, 24 and 48 h, the levels of the cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were determined by ELISA. Results (1) 60 mT, 200 mT and 400 mT SMF had no significant effects on cell proliferation in THP-1 cells (P>0.05). (2)THP-1 cells secreted more TNF-αand IL-6 in 24 h than 18 h in every group, while IL-8 didn′t change. Compared with 24 h, the secre?tion of TNF-αdecreased and IL-6 didn′t change, while IL-8 increased in 48 h. At three sampled time THP-1 cells of LPS activation group secreted more TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 than those of control group and magnetic treatment group. After magnetic treatment THP-1 cells of LPS+SMF treatment group secreted less TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 than those of LPS activation group (P<0.05). Conclusion Static magnetic field may have some inhibitory effects on release of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 from THP-1 cells, which can provide basic data for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on high glucose induced podocyte injury and its signal transduction mechanism.Methods Differentiated mouse podocytes were exposed to normal glucose,high glucose,and different concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 or LY294002 (a selective PI3K inhibitor) for 24 h.PCR and immunofluorescent staining were used to detect nephrin,podocin,and desmin.Western blotting was used to detect protein expression of nephrin,podocin,desmin,PI3K,Akt and p-Akt.Results Compared with high glucose group,1,25(OH)2D3 (100 nmol/L and 1000 nmol/L) significantly up-regulated the expression of podocin and nephrin in podocytes induced by high glucose (P < 0.05).Meanwhile,1,25(OH)2D3 (100 nmol/L) significantly reduced the expression of desmin (P < 0.05).PI3K and p-Akt were obviously reduced in high glucose group.In the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3,the trends were reversed.However the above effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 were abolished when p-Akt was blocked by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002.Conclusions 1,25 (OH)2D3 can inhibit high glucose-induced pedocyte injury through PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway.
