Objective:To investigate the relationship between microsatellite instability (MSI) , and clinicopathological features ,prognosis in patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colon cancer.Methods:Patients undergoing surgical resection for stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colonic tumor in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from Dec 2016 to Nov 2018 were enrolled. All the 292 patients were with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colon cancer and MSI status. Propensity score matching method was used to match the two groups of patients according to 1:1. χ 2 analysis, Logistic Regression and COX regression was used to analyse the relationship between MSI status, the clinicopathological features and prognosis. Results:The risk of MSI-H in young patients ( OR=0.340, 95% CI: 0.126~0.921, P=0.034), right-sided colon cancer ( OR=7.985, 95% CI: 3.040-20.973, P<0.001), mucinous adenocarcinoma ( OR=4.285, 95% CI: 1.495-12.284, P=0.007), poorer differentiation ( OR=4.848, 95% CI: 1.597-14.716, P=0.005), N0 staging ( OR=0.235 , 95% CI: 0.077-0.719, P=0.011) increased . The total OS of colon cancer patients in the MSS group (66.7%) and the MSI-H group (86.9%) were statistically different( P=0.003). The MSI status ( HR=0.367, 95% CI: 0.151-0.891, P=0.027) is an independent factor affecting the prognosis of patients. Conclusions:In stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ colon cancer, patients with MSI-H have a better prognosis. MSI status is prognosis relevant factor for colon cancer patients.

In contrast to primitive hematopoiesis, during embryonic definitive hematopoiesis, it has been demonstrated that multilineage hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from hemogenic endothelium, and the endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT) exists within the yolk sac, placenta, AGM, mouse head vascular and extraembryonic vessels. However, whether hemogenic endothelial cells contribute to blood cell development at other sites of definitive hematopoiesis, including fetal liver and bone marrow, remains largely unknown. Recently, more and more researches showed that hematopoiesis within bone marrow had a close relationship with vascular endothelium development, too. This review summarizes the mechanism of EHT during embryo development, and discuss whether EHT exists in adult hematopoiesis.
