AIM: It is tested that the suppressive effects of (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG ) on the migration, invasion and RhoA expression of human lung carcinoma 95-D cells and B16BL6 melanoma cells invasion in vivo,which will possibly help to understand the molecular mechanisms by which EGCG inhibits the invasion of tumor cells. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of EGCG on the migration of 95-D cells was tested by cell migration assay. Cell invasion was analyzed by the matrigel invasion assay. Assay of tumor metastasis in an animal model, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis of expression of RhoA was also performed. RESULTS:EGCG was effective in inhibiting the migration of 95-D cells in a dose-dependent manner. EGCG dose-dependently inhibited 95-D cells invasion in vitro and 40 μmol·L-1 EGCG exhibited 79.9% inhibition and EGCG 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 for 3 weeks inhibited B16BL6 melanoma cells invasion by 71.7% in vivo. EGCG could down-regulate the expression of RhoA. CONCLUSION: EGCG strongly inhibits metastasis of 95-D cells, and the mechanism of EGCG is possible associated with the inhibition of RhoA expression.

Objective:To study the immunotherapy effects of different doses of human peripheral blood γδT cells on human hepatoma cells (SMMC-7721) xenograft model.Methods: (1)The nude mouse model of liver cancer was established by inoculated BALB/c mouse subcutaneous with human hepatoma cell line (SMMC-7721).(2)The mononuclear cells in healthy human were extracted from peripheral blood,and specific amplification γδT cells in vitro.(3) The nude mouse model divided into 5 groups by random.The positive control group was 5-Fu,negative control group was normal saline(NS).The treatment group was injected different doses of γδT cells(1×105,5×105 and 25×105)by nude mice tail vein.The positive control group injected 5-Fu by enterocoelia,negative control group injected NS by tail veins.The inhibition effect of different dose γδT cells on tumor was observed,including weight,food intake and growth conditions,etc.and the changes of tumor volume (TV),relative tumor volume (RTV)and relative tumor appreciation rate[T/C(%)] were compared with positive control group and negative control group.Results: Different dose of γδT cells had different degree of inhibition on nude mouse xenograft growth.RTV compared with saline negative control group was statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with the positive control group of 5-Fu,the TV growth was significantly lower than the 5-Fu,degree of inhibition was similar in RTV each dose group,and all slightly higher than the 5-Fu positive control group.The each dose group of T/C (%)was slightly lower than the relative tumor proliferation rate of the control group of 5-Fu,but had no significant difference.Conclusion: The γδT cells from peripheral blood had significant inhibitory effect on nude mice transplanted liver tumor and it may be used as a new treatment for liver cancer immunotherapy provide experimental data.

Objective To compare the accuracy and clinical effect between X-ray stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsy (SVAB) and metal wire guided lumpectony.Methods From January 2010 to June 2014,681 cases of breast micro-calcification biopsy were performed.Among them,78 cases were performed with SVAB and 603 eases were performed with the method of stereotaetic metal wire guided lumpectomy.All cases were non-palpable breast lesions (NPBLs) and breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) assessment categories 4.The diagnostic accuracy and clinical effect were compared.Results The sensitivity of both methods was 100 ％ with no misdiagnosis.The underestimation rate of SVAB was 12.5 ％.Compared with the method of metal wire guided lumpectomy,SVAB had many advantages,such as easy to use,quickly performed,low rate of local deformation and lower rate of operative complications.77.5 ％ patients benefited from SVAB by avoiding open surgery of benign disease.Conclusions SVAB is an accurate,safe and convenient method of biopsy.It can be recommended as the preferred method of micro-calcification (BI-RADS 4).Additional operation should be performed on patients with the pathological diagnosis of middle and high grade of dysplasia and any kind of carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:Gastric cancer mesenchyal stem cel s from clinical stomach cancer specimens and tumorigenic tissues in nude mice are similar to the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in biological characteristics, which have been proved to be an important component of tumor microenvironment to promote tumor growth. It is speculated that biological characteristic of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s may change in stomach cancer microenvironment. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of stomach cancer microenvironment on morphology and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and expressions of CD34 and CD44. METHODS:Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were cultured alone as control group. In the test group, rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were co-cultured with human stomach cancer BGC-823 cel s using Transwel chamber assay to establish the stomach cancer microenvironment. Then, cel morphology, proliferation, cel cycle and CD34, CD44 expressions were observed and detected using inverted phase contrast microscope, MTT assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the test group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were similar to human stomach cancer cel s BGC-823 that arranged disorderly and irregularly, were interconnected loosely, became thinner and longer, and grew in clusters with smal er nuclei. The cel proportion in G 1 phase significantly decreased, but that in S and G 2/M phases significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05). The positive rate of CD44 significantly declined, and the CD34 expression significantly raised (P<0.01). In conclusion, stomach cancer microenvironment by non-contact co-culture with BCG-823 cel s has an obvious effect on the morphology, proliferation and surface antigens expressions of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s that wil tend to be malignant gastric cancer cel s.

Objective To evaluated the role of postoperative radiotherapy (PR) after surgery in patients with uterine sarcoma,and analyzed the prognostic factors.Methods A total of 182 patients with uterine sarcoma were included between June 1994 and October 2014.Radiotherapy dose were 30-50 Gy/10-25 fractions/5 fractions/week.The LRFFS and OS were calculated with Kaplan-Meier method,and difference was analyzed with log-rank method.Cox regression analyses were used to determine prognosticators.Results There were 114 patients which survived more than 5-years in this whole group,including PR 24 cases and no PR 90 cases.The 5-year LRRFS and OS were 62.1％ and 56.2％,respectively.The 5-year LRRFS were 78.0％ and 55.3％ on PR and no PR (P=0.013);with OS 64.1％ and 51.7％ on PR and no PR (P=0.070).A multivariate analysis showed that pathological types,histological grade and clinical stage were associated with LRRFS and OS (P=0.032,0.008,0.000 and 0.046,0.000,0.000).PR was significant influencing factor for OS (P=0.013).Conclusions Uterine sarcoma patients treated with PR after surgery had an improved LRRFS compared to those treated with surgery,especially those with leiomyosarcoma.The role of PR personalized radiation for uterine sarcoma still needs to be further discussed.

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors and the clinical outcome of locally recurrent rectal cancer after radical resection. Methods From April 2000 to April 2004, 105 patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer after radical resection were re-treated in Tianjin cancer hospital. Thirty-four patients were re-treated with surgery combined with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (group 1), 35 with surgery alone (group 2), and 36 with chemoradiotherapy (group 3). The impact of 17 clinicopathological factors and treatment modalities on the survival was analyzed. Results The follow-up rate was 95. 2%. The median survival time was 23 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates of patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer were 63% ,34% and 19%, respectively. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were 79%, 55% and 32% in group 1 ; 68%, 40% and 14% in group 2; and 64%, 36% and 11% in group 3; respectively (χ~2 =7. 96,P =0. 019). The univariate analysis showed that the degree of differentiation, depth of tumor invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes, initial TNM stage, recurrent location, time to recurrence, and surgery combined with adjuvant therapy were significant prognostic factors, with the last 4 being the independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy may improve the survival of patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer.

We studied the effect of photodynamic therapy with phycobiliproteins on human liver cancer cells in vitro. With 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay (MTT assay), we used two phycobiliproteins, R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) and C-phycocyanin (C-PC) prepared from Porphyra yezoensis, to determine the killing rates and apoptosis rates of human liver cancer cells (SMMC-7721) mediated by laser. When the concentration of R-PE was 120 mg/L, the survival rate of human liver cancer cells was 27% after treated by Argon laser with 100 J/cm2 doses, while the survival rate in the control group (without adding R-PE) was 65%. When the C-PC concentration was 120 mg/L, the survival cell rate was 47% after treated by He-Ne laser with 35 J/cm2 dose, while the survival rate in the control group (without adding C-PC) was 70%. After handled only with these two kinds of phycobiliproteins for 72 h, the growth of cancer cells presented significant inhibition. The maximal inhibition rates reached up to 31% with R-PE (120 mg/L concentration) and 27% with C-PC (250 mg/L concentration) respectively. After irradiated by laser for 8 h, the maximal cell apoptosis rates were 31.54% with R-PE and 32.54% with C-PC, respectively. It indicated that R-PE and C-PC extracted from Porphyra yezoensis could develop to new photosensitizers for cancer photodynamic therapy.
