Objective To investigate sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil after downregulation of XIAP gene expression. Method Colon cancer cells HCT-8 and HCT116 were transfected with a short hairpin RNA targeted to XIAP by liposome, cells viability were examined.5-fluorouracil was applied into two kinds of colon cancer cells. Tumor cells sensitiviy to chemotherapeutic drug was evaluated. Caspase-3 activity in tumor cells was examined by Western blot. Result After downregulation of XIAP expression, cell growing viability of these two kinds of colon cancer cells was restricted, HCT-8 resistance to 5-fluorouracil was reversed ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), HCT116 sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil was enhanced (P ＜ 0.05), caspase-3 expression in colon cancer cells was highly activated, apoptosis inducing activity of 5-fluorouracil was increased significantly. Conclusions XIAP expression was a important mechanism in colon cancer cells HCT-8 and HCT 116 resistant to 5-fluorouracil, sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil of HCT-8 and HCT-116 was increased by downregulation of XIAP expression.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of complete mesogaster excision in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with distal gastric cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent complete mesogaster excision in D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.The operation quality was evaluated according to operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,mean number of lymph nodes dissected,time to flatus,volume of drainage and duration of postoperative hospital stay.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till May 2014.Results Complete mesogaster excision in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer was successfully carried out on all the 100 patients.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,mean number of lymph nodes dissected,time to flatus,volume of drainage and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (118 ± 34) minutes (range,90-160 minutes),(80±25)mL (range,45-135 mL),38± 10 (range,25-52),(3.0 ± 1.2)days (range,1.5-4.5 days),(62±15)mL (range,15-85 mL) and (7.0±1.5)days (range,4.0-11.5 days),respectively.According to the postoperative pathological results,there were 36 patients with high differentiated gastric carcinoma,38 with moderate and/or low differentiated gastric carcinoma,17 with low differentiated gastric carcinoma and 9 with signet ring cell carcinoma.After operation,3 patients had gastroplegia,2 with poor healing of abdominal incision,2 with duodenal stump fistula,1 with pancreatic fistula,and all of them were cured by conservative treatment.All the 100 patients were followed up for a mean time of 25.6 months (range,17.6-39.2 months).There was no tumor recurrence.Conclusions Complete mesogaster excision in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer is safe and feasible,with the advantage of minimal trauma,low morbidity and quick recovery during the follow up.

Objective To evaluate No.16a2b1 lymphadenectomy for D2 gastrectomy of advanced gastric cancer.Methods In this study,we retrospectively analysed the data of 100 patients with advanced gastric cancer from April 2004 to April 2005.All the patients were in stage T3-4.50 patients underwent D2 plus No.16a2b1 lymphadenectomy while the other 50 patients underwent standard D2 operation.Results The metastatic rate of No.16a2b1 lymph node was 18％ ;The bleeding volume,operation time,postoperative intestinal function recovery time and the incidence of postoperative complications between D2 plus No.16a2b1 lymphadenectomy group and standard D2 operation group were [(351 ± 121) ml vs.(305 ±-105) ml,t=2.03],[(192±50) vs.(172±40),t=2.22],[(5 ±2) days vs.(4±-2) days,t=3.33],and [10％ (5/50) vs.8％ (4/50)] respectively.All differences were not statistically significant (P ＞0.05).While 5 year survival rates were 24％ (12/50) vs.6％ (3/50) respectively,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions No.16a2b1 lymphadenectomy is necessary,feasible and prolongs survival for advanced gastric cancer patients,especially in stage T3 and T4 undergoing D2 operation.

Objective To study the apoptosis-inducing effect of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 with soluble TRAIL gene on human colon cancer cell line HCT116. Method Recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 with TRAIL gene was generated by triple plasmid transfection of HEK293 cells with phosphate calcium precipitation. After infected by recombinant virus, cell growth assay was carried out by counting alive cells after trypan blue exclusion. Alternations of cell morphology was examined by microscopy. Cell apoptosis was detected by DNA laddering. The protein expressions of apoptosis-3 and apoptosis-8 were detected by Western blotting. Result The growth rate of the AAV8-sTRAIL infected HCT116 cells was significantly inhibited. Recombinant virus induced apoptosis in colon tumor cells by triggering caspase cascade, but not in normal human hepatocytes. Conclusion AAV8-sTRAIL efficiently suppresses the growth of human colon cancer cell line HCT116 by inducing apoptosis, with no evident toxicity to normal cell.
