3.Diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of unknown primary
Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(12):942-945
The primary focal area of carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) can not be determined by clinical examination.It is difficult to find the primary site and its prognosis is poor.The traditional diagnostic approaches mainly include pathological examination,endoscopy,imaging technology and so on.However,positron emission tomography is the preferred approach.In recent years,gene expression profiling has become a new diagnostic approach to find the source of CUP.The detection rate by gene expression profiling is high,and the approach can accurately identify the primary site.The recommended therapies include classic platinum-or paclitaxel-based chemotherapy,radiotherapy or surgery,and site-directed therapy by gene expression profiling for patients with CUP improves their survival rate.

Objective To explore the role of team-based learning(TBL)in the teaching of pe-riodontics for undergraduates. Methods Totally 38 2008 grade undergraduates majored in stomatology were divided into six groups according to previous test scores. Individual test,group test and group re-sponder were conducted successively . Average test scores before and intra class were calculated and questionnaires survey was conducted after the course. Results There was no significant correlation be-tween average test scores intra class and basic knowledge and preview effect(r=0.028,P>0.05). Ques-tionnaire survey demonstrated that learning motivation,learning interests,knowledge mastering and com-munication ability of students were significantly improved. Conclusion TBL teaching promotes the class-room atmosphere and improves team collaboration and learning enthusiasm. Students show high accep-tance for this new teaching modes,so it can be tried in the teaching of stomatology.

Objective To investigate the effects of 5-azacytidine on radiation-induced epithelialmesenchymal transition in rat alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cell line (RLE-6TN) and explore their working mechanisms,and to provide experimental evidence for the potential drug-based treatment of radiationinduced pulmonary fibrosis.Methods RLE-6TN cells were cultured in vitro and divided into four groups according to the experimental purposes:control group (C),radiation group (R),5-azacytidine group (A),and radiation followed by 5-azacytidine group (R + A).The microstructural changes in cells were determined by transmission electron microscopy.Inverted phase-contrast microscopy revealed the morphological changes in cells.The mRNA expression levels of E-cadherin and α-SMA were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The protein expression levels of E-cadherin,GSK3 β,and p-GSK3 β (Ser9) were measured by Western blot.The one-way analysis of variance was used for pairwise comparison.Results The cells in group R became spindle-like.Similar morphological changes were not observed in cells in group R + A.Osmiophilic lamellar bodies disappeared at last in cells in group R.RT-PCR results showed that compared with group C,group R had a significantly lower mRNA expression level of E-cadherin ((0.23 ± 0.06) vs.(1.00 ± 0.00),P =0.002)) and a significantly higher mRNA expression level of α-SMA ((2.91 ± 0.01) vs.(1.00 ± 0.00),P =0.000)).However,compared with group R,group R + A had a significantly higher mRNA expression level of E-cadherin ((0.47 ± 0.05) vs.(1.00 ± 0.00),P =0.024)) but a significantly lower mRNA expression level of α-SMA ((2.50 ± 0.02) vs.(1.00 ±0.00),P =0.037)).The results of Western blot showed that the protein expression level of Ecadherin was significantly reduced ((0.07 ± 0.01) vs.(0.48 ± 0.02),P =0.028)),while the protein expression level of p-GSK3β was significantly increased in Group R than in Group C ((0.85 ± 0.04) vs.(0.23 ± 0.03),P =0.031)).However,compared with group R,group R + A had a significantly lower protein expression level of E-cadherin ((0.25 ± 0.00) vs.(0.07 ± 0.01),P =0.024)) and significantly less up-regulation of the protein expression level of p-GSK3β ((0.39 ± 0.03) vs.(0.85 ± 0.04),P =0.014)).Conclusions X-ray radiation can induce the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in epithelial cells.5-azacytidine suppresses radiation-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibition of the activity of p-GSK3β in RLE-6TN cells.

OBJECTIVETo observe the impacts of doxapram on anesthetic efficacy and respiratory and circulatory functions during anesthesia with remifentanil given by target-controlled infusion (TCI) combined with propofol in painless artificial abortion.
METHODSA total of 120 ASA I women requiring voluntarily painless artificial abortion were randomized into two equal groups. One group was given remifentanil by TCI at 2 ng/ml and propofol 1mg/kg (group I), and the other given remifentanil by TCI, propofol, and doxapram 0.6 mg/kg (group II). The anesthetic efficacy and respiratory and circulatory suppression during anesthesia were observed.
RESULTSBoth of the two groups showed satisfactory anesthetic efficacy with comparable the BIS values (P>0.05). No significant difference was noted in the induction time and awaking time between the two groups (P>0.05), but group I had more serious respiratory and circulatory depression than group II (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONDoxapram may attenuate respiratory and circulatory depression during anesthesia with remifentanil given by TCI combined with propofol in painless artificial abortion, and provide comparable anesthetic efficacy.

Objective Observe the effect of Total paeony glycoside(TPG)has on the T-cell immune action and apoptosis process of Oral lichen planus patients and analyze the mechanism.Methods 20 OLP patients are recruited into this experiment, each is treated with TPG,and their clinical effect is taken notes of.Observe the apoptosis of OLP lesions from each of the patients before and after the treatment,compare the apoptosis condition and the expression of CD4 + ,CD8 + ,and the CD4 +/CD8 + ratio,to analyze the role TPG plays on the immune expression of T-cell and the effect on apoptosis process.Results TPG improve the clini-cal manifestation of OLP patients significantly,resulting in the decrease of reticulum and erosive areas,and the pain index is de-creased obviously.The expression of CD4 + and CD8 + are decreased in OLP lesions after the treatment of TPG.Conclusion TPG may induce the apoptosis of the T-cell in lamina propria of the OLP lesions to regulate the T-cell immune action of OLP patients, and slow the development of inflammatory process of OLP,and in that way,TPG shows its potential in treating OLP,and this ex-periment can provide the primary evidence.

Objective To construct the KU80 inhibition cell model by RNAi in U2OS cell and to explore the relationship between the Ku80,telomeres and radiosensitivity in telomerase-negative tumor cells.Methods U2OS cells were transfected with the recombinant plasmids of pshRNA-K80 by the lipofectamine,and the stable transfected cell clones were selected by G418.After the selection,the cells were collected and analyzed by the flow cytometry.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression of Ku80 and Real-time PCR was used to detect the length of telomeres.The radiosensitivity of U2OS was determined by clone formation array.Results The transfection efficiency of the positive cell clones detected by the flow cytometry was (83.23 ± 7.63) %.The inhibition rate of the Ku80 gene transcription in the cell group with recombinant plasmid was(68.09 ± 1.16)% and the inhibition rate of the Ku80 protein expression in the same group was (11.03 ± 2.45) %.The results of Real-time PCR showed that the telomere length of the cell group with recombinant plasmid (1.07 ± 0.07) was significantly shorter than that of the control group (4.42 ± 1.30,F =38.58,P < 0.05) and that of the empty plasmid group (4.11 ±0.84,F =38.58,P < 0.05).Compared to the control group,the telomere length of the empty plasmid group did not changed(4.42 ±0.84 vs.4.11 ±0.84).U2OS cells with Ku80 expression suppressed had lower SF2 than that of the control cells (F =1089.61,P <0.05),and resulted in the SER of 1.47.Conclusions The Ku80 inhibition cell model in telomerase-negative U2OS cell line is successfully established which has the shorter telomere length,and is more sensitive to radiation.Telomere shortening caused by pshRNA-of Ku80 is likely to be one of the mechanisms of radiosensitization in this kind of cell model.
