5.Conceptual consideration of cancer,challenges and opportunities for cancerbiotherapy
Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1994;0(01):-
The outcome of current cancer therapy is far from satisfactory despite the considerable advancements have been achievedin life science and medicine.When looking for more potent drugs or technologies for cancer therapeutics,we shouht re-evaluate ourtraditional perception of caneer and have introspection whether we have some misunderstandings of cancer biology and the relationshipbetween cancer and host.In this commentary,the authors outlined their conceptual consideration of cancer,and proposed theirviewpoints about challenges and opportunities for cancer biotherapy.

Objective To understand the quality of malaria blood examinations in township?level hospitals,so as to provide the evidence for continuing the malaria blood examinations in the stage of post?malaria elimination. Methods A total of 64 township hospitals were investigated and 640 negative malaria blood slides were scored individually according to 10 indicators inMalaria Elimination Technical Schemein 2013 and 2014. The single and multiple indicators were calculated,and the work of blood examinations and situation of technicians were investigated. The data of malaria blood examinations and patient discovery in township hospitals of Nantong City were collected and analyzedduring the period of 2011-2014. Results Forthe single indi?cator,29.5%of the thick blood films did not reach the standard,and 35.8%of thin blood films did not reach the standard. For the multiple indicators,blood slides with more than 4 indicators below the standard(poor quality)accounted for 32.5%. From ma?laria blood examinations and malaria situation,the number of slides was 194 635 during the period of 2011-2014,and there were no local vivax malaria casesin 4consecutive years from 2011 to 2014,andlocal malaria has been effectively controlled in Nantong City. For health facilities where malaria patients initially presented,the township and village level accounted for 16.3%,and county and higher level accounted for 83.7%. Conclusions The quality of malaria blood examinations in township level hospitals of Nantong City is not high and the microscopic examination has a relatively low efficiency in the discovery of ma?laria cases. A new model for malaria blood examinations needs to be further explored.

Background and purpose: miR-21 is ovexpressed in various types of human cancers. This study was designed to investigate the effect of miR-21 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line CNE2. Methods: CNE2 was transfected with miR-21 inhibitor by LipofectamineTM2000. Meanwhile CNE2 was transfected with NC inhibitor as negative control. qRT-PCR was used to detect the miR-21 expression in these cells. The effects of miR-21 downregulation on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated by MTS, wound-healing Transwell and invasion assays. Results: miR-21 expression was remarkably downregulated in miR-21 inhibitor-transfected cells in concentration-dependent manner, indicating transfection with miR-21 inhibitor can effectively reduce expression level of miR-21 in CNE2 cells. Transfection of miR-21 inhibitor into CNE2 cells led to a signiifcant decrease in cell proliferation rate compared with control cells (P<0.05). miR-21 downregulation results in reduction of cell migration(P<0.05). Moreover, the cell invasion by Transwell invasion assay was reduced in miR-21-downregulated cells relative to control cells. Conclusion:miR-21 can promote cell proliferation, migration and invasion of NPC cells. And it maybe plays an important role in tumorigenesis and development of NPC.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression and roles of IL-9 and its receptor (IL-9R) mRNA in the nasal mucosa of ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) mice. METHODS Sixteen Balb/c mice were selected and randomly divided into two groups with 8 mice in each group. Mice were used for establishing the animal model of AR with ovalbumin sensitization as AR group, at the same time, the physiological saline as the control group. In each group, 4 mice were randomly taken from each group, and the pathological examination showed that the model was successful. The nasal mucosa was taken from the remaining 4 mice in each group and then to detect IL-9 and IL-9R mRNA in nasal mucosa of the two groups by using real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS The expression of IL-9 and IL-9R mRNA could be detected in both the control and AR groups. The expression levels of IL-9 and IL-9R mRNA in the nasal mucosa of the AR group were both higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The expression level of IL-9 mRNA was positively correlated with the expression of IL-9R mRNA in the nasal mucosa of mice (r =0.857, P<0.05). CONCLUSION IL-9 and its receptor IL-9R are involved in the development of AR, and play an important role in the development of allergic rhinitis. It provides a new perspective for the further understanding of the pathogenesis of AR and provides a new clue for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
