Epithelial mesenchymal transition ( EMT) is one of the important biological processes in tumor invasion and metastasis . However , due to the complexity of EMT signaling pathway and its unclear molecular mechanism , the treatment of EMT is still a worldwide problem .But many studies have proved that EMT is not an irreversible process .In recent years , the research of FOX gene family in EMT shows its important role in tumor metastasis . This review focuses on the FOX-mediated EMT process in many kinds of tumor , aiming to have a better understanding of EMT signaling network , and provide a new target for the effective pre-vention of EMT .

Objective To study the curative effect of CT-guided percutaneous acetic acid injection(PAI)combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)in the treatment of primary heaptocellular carconima.Methods 52 cases with primary heaptocellular carconima were divided into two groups.26 cases were treated with TACE and PAI,combined group comparing with other 26 cases treated with TACE group.Results Decrease of AFP,shrinkage of tumor mass and survival rate of 1-2 years of the combined group and TACE group were 78.3% vs 50.0%,65.4%(17/26) vs 38.5%(10/26)and 73.1%(19/26),52.6%(10/19) vs 57.7%(15/26),33.3%(5/15),respectively;with statistical significance(P

BACKGROUND:Distal femur is a predilection site for primary bone tumors, most of which are treated with salvage treatment. There are many reports on the early-stage, mid-term and prognosis of the distal femur tumor-type artificial knee joint prosthesis, but reports on long-term function and prognosis are less.
OBJECTIVE:To study the long-term prognosis and limb function after treatment with rotating-hinge knee prosthesis.
METHODS:Thirty-four patients with distal femoral bone tumors admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2000 and June 2008 were retrospectively analyzed, including 19 males and 15 females. Al patients were subjected to rotating hinge knee prosthesis replacement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mean fol ow-up period was 62.4 months (range 11 to 126 months). At the final of fol ow-up, 23 patients were event-free alive and 11 patients were dead. Seven of 23 survival patients suffered from prosthesis related complications, including four cases of prosthesis revision and three cases of amputation. The event-free survival rate of 23 patients undergoing replacement of domestic tumor prosthesis around the knee was 67.6%in 5 years. The mean functional score of affected limb was 19.30 (7 to 27 points):excellent in 6 cases, good in 16, fine in 5 and poor in 2. The excellent-good rate was 75.9%. The clinical outcomes suggested that the satisfactory limb function and survival rate could be achieved with the application of domestic tumor prosthesis replacement for treatment of malignant bone tumors around the knee.

ObjectiveTo study the videourodynamic characteristics in spina bifida patients and to discuss the urodynamic risk factors causing the upper urinary tract deterioration.Methods33 cases with spina bifida were evaluated with non-complete synchronized videourodynamic test.Filling-phase function of bladder was evaluated with bladder sensation,detrusor activity,compliance,relative safe capacity,detrusor leak point pressure and presence of vesicoureteral reflux;voiding phase function was evaluated with detrusor pressure,the synergy between detrusor and external sphincter,the pressure-flow study.Patients were classified into upper urinary tract damage group and non-damage group according to the imaging and renal function test.The urodynamic parameters between the two groups were compared statistically.Results17 cases were found upper urinary tract damage(51%)in which 11 with vesicoureteral reflux and 6 was non-reflux hydronephrosis.Bladder compliance and relative safe capacity were significantly different between the two groups.ConclusionSpina bifida patients complicate a high incidence of upper urinary damage,especially vesicoureteral reflux.Low compliance and small relative safe capacity may be the major urodynamic risk factors causing upper urinary tract damage.

ObjectiveTo search for the optimal treatment of hydronephrosis after spinal cord injury .Methods46 cases were treated by indwelling catheter, intermittent catheterization and drug therapy, and comprehensive therapy respectively. The course of treatment and the recurrence rate were observed after hydronephrosis remitted. Results There were no differences in the course of treatment among the three different kinds of therapy. The recurrence rate of the detrusor sphincter dyssynergia(85.7%) was higher than that of the detrusor hyperreflexia (35%) and the detrusor hyporeflexia(25%).ConclusionsThe optimal therapy on slight and moderate hydronephrosis should be intermittent catheterization and drug therapy to avoid the complications of long term indwelling catheter. SCI hydronephrosis is indistinct and recurrent easily. B ultrasound for kidneys is helpful in discovering SCI hydronephrosis on early stage. The earlier the treatment, the better the prognosis. Urodynamics plays an important role in the management of SCI hydronephrosis.

Objective:To compare the preventive effects of different doses of esketamine on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia(RIH)in the patients underwent thoracoscopic pnlmonary lobectomy,and to provide the basis for the multimodal analgesia and rapid postoperative recovery.Methods:The prospective,double-blind,parallel-designed randomized controlled trial(RCT)were conducted,and 107 patients who underwent visual-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy were included.The patients were randomly divided into normal control group,low dose of esketamine group,and high dose of esketamine group using random number methods.Except the patients who were eliminated and those who dropped out of the study,there were 31 patients in normal control group,33 patients in low dose of esketamine group,and 33 patients in high dose of esketamine group.The patients in low dose of esketamine group were given the intravenous injection of 0.25 mg·kg-1 esketamine(diluted to 5 mL)during anesthesia induction;the patients in high dose of esketamine group were given the intravenous injection of 0.50 mg·kg-1 esketamine(diluted to 5 mL),and the patients in normal control group were given 5 mL intravenous injection of saline.The mechanical pain thresholds of the non-dominant forearm skin and skin around the surgical incision at different time points,numeric rating scale(NRS)scores,Ramsay sedation scores,perioperative analgesic drug dosages,and the incidences of adverse reactions such as postoperative delirium,nausea,and vomiting of the patients in various groups were recorded.Results:Compared with normal control group,the mechanical pain thresholds around the surgical incision skin of the patients in low and high doses of esketamine groups were increased(P＜0.05);compared with low dose of esketamine group,the extubation time of the patients in high dose of esketamine group was increased(P＜0.05).Two minutes after anesthesia induction administration,compared with normal control group,the mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)of the patients in low and high doses of esketamine groups were increased(P＜0.05),but there were no significant differences in the MAP and HR of the patients between low dose of esketamine and high dose of esketamine group(P＞0.05);compared with normal control group,the incidences of hallucinations and delirium among the patients in high dose of esketamine group were increased(P＜0.05),while there were no significant differences in the incidences of above adverse reactions in low dose of esketamine group(P＞0.05);compared with low dose of esketamine group,the incidences of hallucinations and delirium among the patients in high dose of esketamine group were increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Intravenous administration of esketamine with a dosage of 0.25 mg·kg-1 during anesthesia induction improves the postoperative mechanical pain threshold of the patients undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy,which exhibits effective prevention of RIH without an increase in incidences of adverse reactions during the perioperative period.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of luteolin-regulated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in non-small cell lung cancer. Methods Firstly,the potential target of luteolin was studied by molecular docking.The effect of luteolin on EMT markers was analyzed,and then molecular biology experiments were used to verify the results. Results The result of molecular docking showed that luteolin had a good docking effect on the integrin family,of which the lowest binding energy was -15.11 in docking with Integrin αIIbβ3.The result of flow cytometry showed that luteolin could down-regulate the expression of integrin induced by hypoxia. Conclusion Luteolin can regulate integrin expression,which suggested that luteolin can regulate EMT through integrin.This conclusion may provide new methods in prevention of tumor metastasis for traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To explore the correlation between dual energy imaging indices,microvessel densi-ty(MVD),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and lung cancer lymph nodes metastasis and its practical sig-nificance by applying dual source CT(DSCT)dual energy imaging.Methods 62 cases of non-small cell lung can-cer(NSCLC)were underwent DSCT dual energy imaging and divided into groups with and without lymph node me-tastasis according to the results of pathology.The expressions of MVD and VEGF were detected as well.All the indi-ces were compared between the two groups. Results(1)The differences between the lung cancer lymph node groups in the iodine concentration,normalized iodine concentration(NIC),spectrum curve of arterial phase,MVD and VEGF were statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)The iodine concentration,NIC and spectrum curve of arte-rial phase were positively correlated with MVD and VEGF.Conclusion Iodine concentration,NIC,and spectrum curve of arterial phase of DSCT dual energy imaging can be regarded as part of the important indices for preopera-tive diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.
