Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells combined with chemotherapy on the treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.Methods CIK cells were prepared from 50 ml peripheral blood mononuclear cells by stimulated with IL-2,IFN-γ,anti-CD3 monoclone antibody,IL-1 for 8 d.The clinical effects and survival rate were compared between CIK cells combined with chemotherapy group and the chemotherapy group (50 patients with advanced colorectal cancer for each).T cells and NK cells of patients were tested by FCM before and after CIK cells treatment.The improvement of quality of life and toxicity of this therapy were observed.Results The percentages of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ T cells and NK cells were (54.779±14.228) %,(30.821±11.554) %,(16.676±6.256) %,(18.705±9.347) % before CIK cells transfusion.After transfusion,the percentages were (65.236±14.901) %,(37.292±8.880) %,(25.229±6.711) %,(22.950±8.933) %,respectively.The percentages were expanded greatly (P < 0.05).The patients quality of life were improved clearly with lower toxicity.The DCR of CIK cells combined with chemotherapy group (64 %,32/50) was higher than the chemotherapy group (40 %,20/50) (P < 0.05).The survival rate between two groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).Conclusion Administration of CIK cells combined with chemotherapy can enhance immune function in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and improve their quality of life,and get good clinical efficacy.

Objective To screen serum biomarkers in patients with hepatocelhlar carcinoma by using surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(SELDI-TOF-MS)technique and to evaluate its clinical implication in the patients whose alpha-fetoprotein were negative in the sera. Methods Proteomic spectra were generated by mass spectroscopy in 112 cases, including 57 cases AFP-negative hepatocellular carcinoma,and 55 cases of healthy control. The consequence was analyzed and the characteristic preteomic peaks was selected by using Biomarker Wizard. Results Seven low expressed potential biomarker were indentified with the mass-to-charge ratio of 4.2×103, 4.1×103, 6.7×103, 5.7×103, 6.5×103, 6.9×103, 5.8×103. The sensitivity for diagnosing hepatic cancer were 88.23 % and specificity was 92.31%. These peaks were not correlated with age, sex, tumor mass size, pathology grading and cirrhosis in hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS offers a unique platform for the proteomic detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.It also offers an auxiliary diagnosis method to the patients whose alpha-fetoprotein are negative in the serum.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of raltitrexed containing regimen for advanced colorectal cancer as the second-line and multi-line treatment.Methods A total of 42 patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated with raltitrexed containing regimen.The objective response rate (ORR),disease control rate (DCR),median progression-free survival (mPFS) and adverse reactions were evaluated.Results The ORR of the 42 patients was 16.67%,DCR was 80.96%,and mPFS was 4.90 months (95% CⅠ:2.99-6.81 months).The most of adverse reactions were grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ,including leucopenia (30.95%),thrombocytopenia (2.38%),anemia (40.48%),nausea and vomiting (2.38%),anorexia (4.76%),diarrhea (2.38%),transaminase elevation (47.62%) and fatigue (11.90%).Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ transaminase elevation was found in only 4.76% of patients.Conclusion Raltitrexed containing regimen for advanced colorectal cancer as the second-line and multi-line treatment is effective and well tolerated,and further clinical application is recommended.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in recurrent patients after radical gastrectomy and its correlation with clinicopathologic features and prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 116 recurrent patients after radical gastrectomy between December 2011 and March 2019 in Fujian Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between HER2 expression of the tissues after radical gastrectomy and clinicopathological features as well as prognosis was also analyzed.Results:HER2 positive rate was 19.8% (23/116) in gastric cancer specimens of 116 patients after radical gastrectomy. HER2 positive rate in highly and moderately differentiated patients with gastric cancer was higher than that in those with poorly differentiated gastric cancer [33.3% (11/33) vs. 14.5% (12/83), χ2 = 5.292, P < 0.05]. HER2 positive rate in patients with lung metastasis was higher than that in patients without lung metastasis [42.1% (8/19) vs. 15.5% (15/97), χ2 = 5.517, P < 0.05]. There were no statistical differences in HER2 positive rate among gastric cancer patients with different gender, age, tumor location, recurrent site, TNM stage, number of metastasis, neurovascular invasion, liver metastasis, local recurrence (all P > 0.05). HER2 expression was not associated with disease-free survival time ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:HER2 expression is associated with the differentiation degree of gastric cancer and the location of distant metastasis, but it can not be used as a predictor for recurrence of gastric cancer.
