Background and purpose:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignancy which is the third incidence and the fourth mortality in the worldwide. The main reason for the development of CRC is that the changes of genetic and epigenetic causes the tumor suppressor gene methylation silencing. This study aimed to investigate the plasma and stool GATA5 gene promoter methylation was detected in clinical diagnosis of CRC. Methods: To collect the paired plasma and stool specimens of 34 cases of healthy and 43 cases of patients with CRC. Methylation speciifc PCR (MSP) was respectively detected the GATA5 gene methylation levels of GATA5 gene in plasma and stool. And then separately analyzed their correlations with clinical and pathological parameters in gastric carcinoma. Results: The result of MSP showed that GATA5 gene promoter methylation rates in plasma and stool of CRC patients were 60.74%, 76.60%, respectively, were higher than those of healthy persons (6.47%, 32.35%). And the differences were statistically signiifcant (P=0.006 7, P=0.000 2, respectively). GATA5 gene methylation rates in plasma of CRC patients were closely related to clinical stage (P=0.000 5) and lymph node metastasis(P=0.020), while GATA5 gene methylation rates in stool of CRC patients had no signiifcant with clinical and pathological parameters. Conclusion:Detection of faecal GATA5 gene methylation level and supplemented plasma GATA5 gene methylation level can become a simple, non-invasive, sensitive and speciifc method for clinical diagnosis of CRC.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of sodium nitroprusside in the treatment of EV71-related pneumoedema/pneumorrhagia and hypotension in this study. Methods This was a retrospective study of a total 10 children with EV71-related pneumoedema/pneumorrhagia treated with sodium nitroprusside using case-control methods. The clinical manifestations and outcomes of the 10 children (present cohort) were compared with those of 8 children (past cohort) who had EV71-related pneumoedema/pneumorrhagia without sodium nitroprusside. Results Among these 10 patients,all were at the appearance of pneumoedema/pneumorrhagia, cardiac arrhythmia and hypotension. Two patients showed severe cardiac arrhythmia, two patients showed cardiac arrest for many times. All 10 patients were treated with mechanical ventilation and other conventional treatments. At the first time of the manifest of hypotension,sodium nitroprusside were put into practice in all 10 patients. Ten patients were treated with intravenously sodium nitroprusside in the stage of hypotension by maxi30 min ～ 1 h,the patients showed an improvement in vultus,pulse and peripheral circulation and decrease of heart rate and elevation of blood pressure after 30 min ～2 h,but at least 2～6 h later,the blood pressure tended to stabilize at normal standard. Conclusion Hypotension is the intensive stage in EV71-related hand,foot and mouth disease ,and the shock syndrome caused by acute left ventricular disorder is related to sympathetic nerve activity. Sodium nitroprusside can effectively reduce the cardiac afterload,and correct shock and improve the prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of the promoter methylation of plasma RNF180 gene and its protein ex-pression for the detection of gastric cancer. Methods:Methylation-specific polymerase-chain reaction (MSP) and enzyme-linked immu-no-sorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to detect DNA methylation and protein expression of the RNF180 gene, respectively. The correlations of DNA methylation and protein expression of the RNF180 gene with the clinico-pathological parameters of gastric carcino-ma were then separately analyzed. Results:MSP showed that the methylation rates of the RNF180 gene were 62.75%and 21.88%in the plasma of patients with gastric carcinoma and healthy volunteers, respectively;this result indicated that the two groups significantly differed (P<0.01). The methylation of the RNF180 gene was associated with tumor size, clinical stage, tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis (P<0.05). ELISA results showed that the protein expression of the RNF180 gene [(23.22 ± 1.36)μg/mL] was significantly lower (P<0.01) in the plasma of patients with gastric carcinoma than in the plasma of healthy volunteers [(34.25 ± 2.44)μg/mL]. However, the protein expression of the RNF180 gene was not associated with clinicopathological parameters (P>0.05). Conclusion:The RNF180 gene is expressed at a hypermethylation rate, and the corresponding protein expression level is de-creased in the plasma of individuals with gastric carcinoma. Therefore, RNF180 gene methylation in plasma could be applied to detect microinvasion for the clinical diagnosis of gastric cancer.

ObjectiveTo study the MR Imaging features of breast phyllodes tumor (PT),and to correlate it with pathological results.MethodClinical and MRI findings were retrospectively reviewed in twenty-seven women with 28 PTs lesions confirmed by surgical pathology.Statistical analyses were one-way ANOVA for size analysis,Fisher exact test for analysis of MR appearances and Spearman correlation to study the relationship between MRI findings and BI-RADS categories.Results( 1 ) The histologic findings were benign,borderline and malignant PTs in 14.3％ (4/28),53.6％ (15/28) and 32.1％ (9/28) of lesions,respectively.(2) The mean maximum-diameter were (6.4 ± 3.9) cm,(5.7 ± 2.2) cm in borderline type and (4.8 ± 1.8)cm in benign type respectively.The results showed differences in lesion's size among the three type (F = 287.541,P =0.000),especially between malignant and benign type (P = 0.033 ).(3)Internal non-enhanced septations and silt-like changes on enhanced images,as well as time-signal curve on MRI correlated significantly with the histological grade ( P ＜ 0.05 ).( 4 ) If the category BI-RADS ≥ 4a was considered to be a suspicious sign for malignant lesion,the diagnostic accuracy of MRI would be 96.4％ (27/28),and the BI-RADS category of the MRI could reflect the PT's histological grade with a low correlation coefficient ( r = 0.382,P = 0.045 ).Conclusion The findings of PT on MRI have some characteristics,with tumor size and several MRI features correlating with the histological grade of breast PT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Fritillariae cirrhosae bulbus on airway inflammation and ERK/MAPK signal pathway of asthma model mice, and to explore its possible mechanism of the treatment of asthma. METHODS: The asthma model was induced by egg albumin. A total of 40 model mice were randomly divided into model group (0. 5％ carboxymethyl cellulose, intragastric administration), positive control group (0. 5 mg/kg dexamethasone, intraperitoneal injection), Fritillariae cirrhosae bulbus low-dose and high-dose groups (9. 0, 18. 0 mg/kg, intragastric administration), with 10 mice in each group. Other 10 normal mice were included in normal group (0. 5％ carboxymethyl cellulose, intragastric administration). They were given medicine once a day for consecutive 28 d. After medication, the number of total cells and differential cells (neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and eosinophils) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice were counted. The pathological morphology of bronchial smooth muscle in mice was observed under light microscope, and the inflammatory score was scored; the activities of ERK, phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK), p38 MAPK and phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) were measured by ELISA. The protein expression of ERK, p-ERK, p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK in lung tissue were determined by Western blot assay. mRNA expression of ERK and p38 MAPK were determined by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, the number of total cells and differential cells in BALF of mice, inflammation score, the activities of p-ERK and p-p38 MAPK in lung tissues were increased significantly of mice in model group (P<0. 01); the protein expression of p-ERK and p-p38 MAPK, mRNA expression of ERK and p38 MAPK were increased significantly in lung tissue of mice in model group (P<0. 01). Compared with model group, above indexes of treatment groups were all improved significantly (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). CONCLUSIONS: Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus can improve airway inflammation in asthma model mice, the mechanisms of which may be related to inhibiting the activation of ERK/MAPK signal pathway.

Abnormal iron metabolism mediated by ferritinophagy is one of the most important mechanisms in the occurrence of ferroptosis.The regulatory mechanism of ferritinophagy mainly involves the transcription of NCOA4 and its corresponding protein modifications.Ferroptosis plays an important role in the development of colitis and colitis-associated cancer,and target-oriented regulation of ferroptosis can alleviate colonic inflammatory response and induce the tumor cell death.This article mainly reviewed the regulatory mechanism of NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy and its progress in colitis and colitis-related cancer,which may provide a new point for the investigation on mechanism of colitis and inflammation-cancer transformation.

Background and Objectives: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) with tumorigenic potential are reported as the crucial factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence and therapy resistance. Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are documented to play an important role in the protection of hepatocytes. Bie Jia Jian pill (BJJP), a Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been used to treat liver fibrosis and liver cancer. This study aimed to explore the potential role of combined use of BJJP with BMSCs in HCC cell lines. Methods: and Results: Flow cytometry was used to identify BMSCs isolated from BALB/c mice and CSCs enriched from Huh7 cells by measuring CD24, CD133, CD44, CD73, CD105, CD166, CD29, CD14 and CD34. Differentiation potential of BMSCs was also determined. Cell viability and proliferation ability of CSCs were determined by CCK-8 assay and clone formation assay. The expressions of CSCs biomarkers and Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway related proteins were determined by PCR and western blot. TOP-Flash/FOP-Flash luciferase assay was applied to measure the activity of β-catenin/TCF. Compared with untreated CSCs, BJJP or BMSCs treatment alone on CSCs lead to increased miR-140 expression and cell apoptosis, as well as decreased expressions of CD24, CD133, EpCAM and cell viability.Downregualted expressions of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway related proteins, Wnt3a and β-catenin were found in response to BJJP or BMSCs treatment alone. The combination of BJJP＋BMSCs treatment on CSCs could further enhance the suppressive effect on CSCs. Down-regulation of miR-140 in CSCs partially blocked the effects of BMSCs or BMSCs＋BJJP on the expressions of Wnt3a and β-catenin as well as the cell viability and apoptosis of CSCs.Reversed expression pattern was found in CSCs transfected with miR-140 overexpression. Conclusions Taken together, we demonstrate that BJJP＋BMSCs together could further enhance the suppressive effect on CSCs through regulating miR-140 and suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. This study demonstrated the potential of BJJP＋BMSCs in therapeutic treatment of HCC.
