Colorectal cancer is a common digestive system malignant tumor in the world, its incidence and mortality rate is in the forefront, with the social progress and the change of diet structure, the incidence of colorectal cancer is gradually increasing, and there is a trend of younger age. Among them, peritoneal metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer. Non-surgical treatment has been used in the past, but the prognosis is poor. How to treat and prevent peritoneal metastasis in colorectal cancer patients and improve the prognosis of such patients as much as possible is a question worth our in-depth study. The hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy provides a new direction for the treatment of colorectal cancer patients, usually combined with surgical treatment, and co-applied in the clinic as a new treatment model. This article reviews the treatment mode of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the choice of drugs, and the progress of research in the treatment and prevention of peritoneal metastasis in colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of anti- interleukin-2 receptor (CD25) monoclonal antibody in the regulation of cytokine mRNA expression of IL-1beta, IL-2, CD25, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) in cardiac allografts to elucidate its immunological mechanism and role in rats that have undergone cardiac transplantation.

METHODSThese in vivo studies were conducted using a rat MHC mismatch SD to Wistar heterotopic cardiac transplant model. Simulect, an anti-CD25 antibody, was used to prevent allograft rejection. An increase in the rate of allograft survival was observed. Rats were sacrificed on day 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14 post-transplantation and hearts were harvested for further study. Cytokine mRNA expression was determined by semiquantitative RT-PCR.

RESULTSIn the control group, cardiac allografts were rejected at 8.3 +/- 1.7 days after transplantation (x +/- s). The rats who received CsA rejected the cardiac allograft at 26.4 +/- 5.7 days post-transplant. Allograft survival of Simulect-treated rats was 29.2 +/- 7.1 days (P < 0.05 vs controls). Rats treated with simulect and CsA had the longest survival of 55.0 +/- 11.6 days (P < 0.001 vs controls). CD25 mRNA expression in the heart tissue samples of treated rats was undetectable or very weak. However, the untreated group, CD25 expression increased, although anti-CD25 decreased this CD25 expression in the heart graft. Furthermore, in untreated allografts, IL-2, TNFalpha and IFN-gamma were strongly expressed, an effect that markedly decreased after simulect treatment. Finally, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-10 expression was strong in anti-CD25-treated allografts.

CONCLUSIONSThese results suggest that anti-CD25 antibody treatment may not only neutralize CD25 activity but also play a role in altering cytokine mRNA expression and prolong the survival of allografts.

Wound healing is a dynamic process that involves a series of molecular and cellular events aimed at replacing devitalized and missing cellular components and/or tissue layers. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs), naturally cell-secreted lipid membrane-bound vesicles laden with biological cargos including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, have drawn wide attention due to their ability to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. However, current exploitation of EVs as therapeutic agents is limited by their low isolation yields and tedious isolation processes. To circumvent these challenges, bioinspired cell-derived nanovesicles (CDNs) that mimic EVs were obtained by shearing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through membranes with different pore sizes. Physical characterisations and high-throughput proteomics confirmed that MSC-CDNs mimicked MSC-EVs. Moreover, these MSC-CDNs were efficiently uptaken by human dermal fibroblasts and demonstrated a dose-dependent activation of MAPK signalling pathway, resulting in enhancement of cell proliferation, cell migration, secretion of growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins, which all promoted tissue regeneration. Of note, MSC-CDNs enhanced angiogenesis in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells in a 3D PEG-fibrin scaffold and animal model, accelerating wound healing in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest that MSC-CDNs could replace both whole cells and EVs in promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration.
