Purpose To study the expression of ERG in various vascular tumors, and to explore the value of ERG in the diagnosis of vascular tumor. Methods Immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to detect the expression of ERG and CD31 in 30 cases of vascular tumor and 20 cases of non-vascular tumor. Results All vascular tumors diffusely expressed ERG and CD31. Expression of ERG was unrelated to tumor histologic type and benign or malignant. Expression of ERG was consistent with CD31. Of 20 non-vascular tumors, all except for one cases of epithelial sarcoma did not express ERG. The sensitivity and specificity of ERG in the diagnosis of vascular tumor were 100% and 96. 7%. Conclusion ERG is a high sensitive and specific marker for vascular-derived tumor. The combinated detection of ERG and CD31 may useful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of vascular tumor.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of the long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods The expressions of MALAT-1 mRNA in 29 EOC tissues and 20 normal ovarian tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The relationships between the expression of MALAT-1 mRNA in EOC and its clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA in EOC tissues was lower than that in normal ovarian tissues (0.089±0.090 vs 1.450±1.404,t =4.331,P ＜ 0.001).The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA in advanced (Ⅲ-Ⅳ) stage tissues was significantly lower than that in early (Ⅰ-Ⅱ) stage tissues (0.044±0.043 vs 0.174±0.095,t =-5.125,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA was significantly lower in poorly differentiated and poorly-moderately differentiated ovarian cancer than that in well differentiated ones (0.070 ±0.091 vs 0.161±0.021,t =2.409,P =0.023).The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA was significantly lower in tissues with the lymphonode or omental metastasis than that in tissues without invasion (0.045±0.047 vs 0.142±0.102,t =3.378,P =0.002).Conclusions The expression of long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 is lower in EOC,which is related to tumor grade,clinical stage,lymphonode and omental metastasis.It is suggested that MALAT-1 may play an inhibition role in the progress of ovarian cancer.

Aim To study the mechanism of inhibition of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) related signal transduction by lidamycin in cancer cells. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the growth inhibitory effect of lidamycin (LDM) and adriamycin (ADR) in several cancer cell lines. The inhibition of bFGF bound to its receptor by LDM was measured with [ 125I ]-bFGF binding assay.Intracellular Ca2+ stimulated by bFGF was measured by Fura-3. The formation of bFGF- receptor immune complex and the inhibitory effect of LDM on the activity of PKC isoenzymes induced by bFGF in cancer cells were identified by Western blotting analysis. Results LDM displayed extremely potent growth inhibitory effect on several cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. A comparison of the IC50 values showed that the effect of LDM was 1 000-fold more potent than that of ADR. LDM blocked the specific by anti-FGFR specific antibody, LDM inhibited the formation of bFGF-receptor immune complex. bFGF demonstrated that LDM inhibited the activity of PKC isoenzymes in cancer cells stimulated with bFGF.Conclusion The blocking of bFGF receptors in the signal transduction pathway may be involved in the effect of LDM on cancer cells.

Objective To observe the effects of Suoquan Wan(SQW) on the endocrine and immune function of the polyuria rats with kidney-yang deficiency. Methods The model rats were induced by gastric infusion of adenine(250 mg/kg) for 4 weeks, then treated respectively with SQW (at low, middle and high dose respectively), Shenqi Wan and desmopressin for another 4 weeks. The bodyweight and organ index were recorded, and serum cortisone concentration were detected. T cell subsets in peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry. Results The bodyweight of rats in model group was lower than that in the normal control group. And the bodyweight of rats in desmopressin group, middle-and high-dose SQW groups differed from that in the model group (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). The decreased organ indexes of pituitary, adrenal and thymic glands were found in the model group (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 compared with the normal group). The thymus index was elevated in all the medication groups except the low-dose SQW group (P < 0. 05). The elevated organ indexes of pituitary and adrenal glands were only found in Shenqi Wan group and high-dose SQW group (P < 0. 05). In the model group serum cortisone concentration was decreased (P < 0. 01). In Shengqi Wan group and middle-and high-dose SQW groups, the cortisone concentration was significantly increased (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01, compared with the model group). In the model group, the percentages of CD3+ and CD3+/CD4+ T cell subsets in pe-ripheral blood were decreased, and the percentage of CD3+/CD8+ T cell subset was increased (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 compared with the normal group). Compared to the model group, the percentages of CD3+ and CD3+/CD4+ T cell sub-sets were increased and the percentage of CD3+/CD8+ T cell subset was decreased in SQW group and Shenqi Wan group. But the differences of T lymphocyte subsets were insignificant between desmopressin group and the model group. Conclu-sion SQW can regulate the endocrine and immune function of the polyuria ratwith kidney-yang deficiency.

Objective To observe the effect and side effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage ⅡB～ⅢB cervical cancer. Methods 126 patients with stage ⅡB～ⅢB cervical cancer were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy group: radiotherapy carried out same as the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, i.e.firstly with cisplatin 20 mg iv d1-5, 5-Fu 750 mg iv d1-5, repeated every 28 days, total 4 cycle; the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group i.e.firstly with cisplatin 20 mg iv d1-5, 5-Fu 750 mg iv d1-5, repeated every 28 days, total 2 cycle, after chemotherapy received routine radiotherapy 2 Gy per day, 5 times a week to a total dose of 30 Gy with 192Ir brachytherapy, 7 Gy per week. When total dose reached 46 Gy, the middle field was shielded by plumbum, then continuous radiotherapy, total dose reach A point 65-70 Gy, B point 50-56 Gy. Results All patients were followed-up for more than five years. The follow-up rate was 94.4 %. In concurrent chemoradiotherapy group the 3 year survival rate and the 5 year survival rate were 82.8 %, 65.6 %, In neoadjuvant chemotherapy group the 3 year survival rate and the 5 year survival rate were 67.7 %, 46.8 %. There was a significant difference in two groups (X2=3.86, P＜0.05; X2=5.01, P＜0.05), no significant difference in toxicity-side effect. Conclusion Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for advanced cervical cancer can significantly improve the 3-year and 5-year survival rate and has little increase in toxicity-side effect.
