Background:Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignancy. The detection rate of early gastric cancer is still low in China,and some gastric cancer patients visit the hospital due to acute disease,such as gastric perforation. Aims:To investigate the influence of acute disease on long-term prognosis in gastric cancer patients. Methods:A total of 318 patients with gastric cancer from Jan. 2009 to Jan. 2015 at Shaoxing People’s Hospital were enrolled,and were divided into acute disease group and non-acute disease group. Clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Patients were followed up,and survival rate was compared between the two groups. Results:Fifty-three(16. 7% )patients had acute disease,and the remaining 265(83. 3% )patients were without acute disease. Compared with non-acute disease group, percentage of TNM Ⅳ stage was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),and percentage of radical surgery was significantly decreased in acute disease group(P < 0. 05). Kaplan-Meier assay showed that survival rate in acute disease group was significantly decreased when compared with non-acute disease group( P < 0. 05). After adjusting the TNM stage and surgical treatment,no significant difference in survival rate was found between the two groups. Conclusions:Gastric cancer patients with acute disease have lower survival rate. Acute disease may be not an independent prognostic factor, higher TNM stage and lower proportion of radical surgery are the main reasons for poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients with acute disease.

Pancreatic acinar cell death modality is a significant factor which determines the course and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP).The severity of AP is positively correlated with acinar necrosis,while negatively correlated with acinar apoptosis.Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level is the key to control the manner of death,and acts as a switch during the conversion of necrosis and apoptosis in a variety of pathophysiological settings:low levels of ATP can accelerate cell necrosis and high levels of ATP might promote apoptosis.Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a highly expressed transcription factor in anoxic conditions which can effectively regulate cell energy metabolism and play an important role in regulating cell death and inflammatory injury.Therefore,this review aimed to provide a reference about better understanding of the pathogenesis and new therapeutic targets of HIF-1 in AP.

Objective To investigate the association between the rs769236 polymorphism at the 5′-UTR region of CyclinA2 gene and the susceptibility of colorectal cancer (CRC) .Methods A case-control study was carried out on the Chinese Han population , the rs769236 polymorphism of CyclinA2 were analyzed by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)in 150 CRC cases and 150 healthy controls .The association between CRC risk and the SNP (rs769236) was estimated by an unconditional logis-tic regression model .Results Compared with GG wild genotype ,variant genotypes(GA+AA) carriers had a significantly increased risk of CRC[adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1 .92 ,95% confidence interval(CI)=1 .10 -3 .36] .Conclusion The current results sug-gested that the SNP(rs769236) of CyclinA2 is significantly associated with the increased risk of CRC ,the variant genotypes(GA+AA) are the independent risk factors of CRC in Chinese Han population .

OBJECTIVETo study the expressions of Notch1-4 gene in human keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem cells, and to explore the Notch signaling pathway's role in the formation of keloid.

METHODSKeloid samples were collected to harvest human keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem cells through two-step enzymatic dissociation method. By flow cytometry, cell phenotype of primary and P3 generation were analyzed. By immunocytochemistry, the expressions of Oct4, vimentin and CK19 were examined. Keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem cells were induced into osteoblasts in vitro and calcium deposition was detected by Alizarin red S stain. Realtime polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of Notch1-4 mRNA in keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem cells.

RESULTSFlow cytometry showed that keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem cells of primary and P3 generation highly expressed CD29, CD44, CD90 from the typical MSC phenotype marker, but they failed to express HSC phenotype markers, such as CD34 and CD45. The results of immunocytochemistry showed that Oct4 from pluripotent stem cell markers and vimentin from mesenchymal cell markers was positive and CK19 from epithelial cell markers was negative. After induced differentiation into osteoblasts in vitro after 21 day, calcium nodules could be seen clearly; Notch1-4 gene were expressed in keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem cells through RT-PCR. The relative quantitative of Notch2, Notch3 gene were higher than Notch1, Notch4 gene (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe expression difference of different subtypes from Notch gene in human keloid-derived mesenchymal-like stem ceils may be related to self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and participate in the formation of keloid.

Objective Three-dimension (3D) cell matrix adhesion in vivo is fundamentally important for a wide variety of cellular physiological and pathological phenomena, however, the cell-matrix 3D adhesion is hardly observed in vitro. We present the human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) formed 3D adhesion complexes on the thoroughly acellular human amniotic matrix (TAHAM). Methods TAHAM were produced by suspending digestion with trypsin. The HFF were seeded on 6 well plate, matrigel and TAHAM individually.The light microscope, scanning electronic microscope, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to observe the micro-structures and detect the type Ⅰ , Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅵ collagen, laminin, fibronectin, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, FGF of the TAHAM. Phase contrast microscope was engaged to observe the morphology of HFF. The time-lapse CCD and the trace analysis software were employed to prescribe the cell migration. The 3D adhesion foci were identified by the laser confocal microscope. The strain of the TAHAM was tested by the universal mechanical testing instrument. Results The fibers of the TAHAM were intact, type Ⅰ , Ⅲ,Ⅳ, Ⅵ collagen, laminin, fibronectin were positive, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, FGF were negative. HFF had a bipolar extension to form multilayer cell clusters networks and grew into the matrix. All of the seeded cells survived three weeks under regular culture without transfer. On TAHAM, HFF moved in a straight line with a speed of 12 μm/h. α5 integrin (green), paxillin (red) and fibronectin (blue) co localized to form 3D adhesion complexes (white). Conclusion The main molecular components and biomechanical properties is preserved in TAHAM. HFF forms 3D adhesion complexes on TAHAM. Cell morphology and migration of HFF on TAHAM correspond to that under 3D adhesion behavior.

Objective To investigate the differences of kinesin family member 4 (KIF4A) expression between hepatic carcinoma and adjacent tissue in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection,and to understand the effect of HBV on the expression of KIF4A.Methods Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to measure the expression of KIF4A in hepatic carcinoma and adjacent tissues. HepG2 cells were co-transfected with KIF4A promoter containing the luciferase gene and HBV infectious clone pHBV1.3,and luciferase activity was measured.Expression of KIF4A in HepG2 cells was measured after tranfected with different doses of pHBV1.3.The student's t-test was used for statistic analysis.Results Expression of KIF4A was much higher in hepatic carcinoma than that in adjacent tissues.HBV enhanced KIF4 A gene promoter activity and the luciferase activities were increased as the concentration of pHBV1.3 increased ( 0,0.2,0.4,0.6 and0.8 μg/mL),which were (126.8± 13.4),(219.8±16.7),(387.6±21.5),(586.5 ± 228.9 ) and (657.6 ± 35.5 ) RUL/μg protein,respectively,while the luciferase activities were (123.6± 13.8),(131.8± 14.6),(129.7-13.5),(135.3± 13.4) and (127.1± 12.7) RUL/μg protein,respectively with different doses of control plasmids transfected,and statistical analysis showed significant difference between them (t=4.875,P=0.006).And HBV upregulated KIF4A mRNA and protein expressions in HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.Conclusion Expression of KIF4A is enhanced in hepatic carcinoma and HBV can upregulate KIF4A expression.
