Limb salvage surgery with comprehensive treatment is the standard care for soft tissue sarcoma in the limbs and trunk. Marginal status is a key factor in determining the quality of surgical treatment, as well as in guiding the selection of adjuvant therapies. The goal of surgery is to obtain an appropriately negative margin, although no consensus exists regarding the adequate thickness of normal tissue cuff. With the development of auxiliary treatments, surgery for soft tissue sarcoma is becoming less extensive. Marginal resection combined with adjuvant therapies may be necessary to preserve limb functions when the tumor is close to critical vessels, nerves, or bones. When preparing the preoperative plans, additional considerations should include histologic type, location, presence of barriers, and response to adjuvant therapies.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has a very important function in the accurate staging, diagnosis, and treatment of malig-nant melanoma. The operational technique of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been basically mature, but its indications remain unclear, especially for thin melanomas. Adequate evidence to show that SLNB combined with a complete lymph node dissection can prolong the survival of patients with metastasis is unavailable. Given the low incidence of malignant melanoma in the country, the use of SLNB has not been extensively investigated in China and the relevant methods are outdated. This review summarizes the current ap-plication of SLNB in cutaneous malignant melanoma by analyzing related studies conducted in recent years.

Objective: To explore the role of integrin ?v?6 in proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer AGS cells. Methods: Gastric cancer AGS cells were treated with ?v?6 monoclonal antibody 10D5 or the negative control mouse immunogloblins IgG2a. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay, cell apoptosis was detected by FCM, and caspase-3 activity was examined by Western blot. Results: Compared with the control and IgG2a group, the apoptotic rate and caspase-3 activity of AGS cells treated with 10D5 increased, meanwhile cells survival rate decreased. There were significant differences of the indexes between the 10D5 group and the other two groups (P0.05). Conclusion: Integrin ?v?6 plays an important role in the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer AGS cells.

In the present study, the total RNA was extracted from three instar larvae of Musca domestica, the cDNA sequence encoding the ORF of cecropins was amplified by RT-PCR, and the target fragment was further sequenced after being cloned into T vector pUCm-T. Then, the cDNA sequence of the mature cecropins was amplified by PCR with recombinant plasmid pUCm-T/cecropin as template, the N-terminal rare codon GGA of E. coli was changed to the favorable codon GGC,and a Asn codon AAC was added in front of the stop coden TAA in the C- terminus. This mutant gene designated as mCecropin was then ligated with the fusion expression vector pGEX-4T-1. After restriction analysis and DNA sequencing, the positive recombinant plasmid pGEX-4T-1/mCecropin was transformed to different strains of E. coli cells and the fusion protein was expressed after IPTG induction. The fusion protein was assayed by SDS-PAGE and the E. coli BL21(DE3) cell was chosen as the host cell for the expression of the fusion protein. The expressed fusion protein GST-mCecropin was purified by GSTrap affinity coloum and the GST marker was then cleaved by thrombin. In this way, the fusion protein mCecropin with antibacterial activity was obtained after purification with HiTrap benzamidine column.

Objective:To explore the outcome of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) on patients with soft tissue metastasis. Methods:We ana-lyzed 25 STS patients with soft tissue metastasis primarily localized on extremity and trunk. The study was conducted from June 2010 to June 2016 by retrospective analysis of the clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. The assessed endpoints were overall survival. Results:Six patients (24%) had synchronous soft tissue metastasis, and 19 patients (76%) had metachronous metasta-sis. The average time for primary tumor recession of metastatic lesions was 45.3 months. Metastases were most common in parts of the trunk in 18 patients (72%), followed by the head and neck in 5 patients (20%). Eleven patients (44%) with lung metastasis had poor prognosis. Conclusion:STS occurred more rarely in soft tissue metastasis than in pulmonary metastasis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical treatment were the major therapies employed. Targeted therapy as a new treatment rendered good results.

Objective To explore the association between the C46T polymorphism of coagulation factor Ⅻ (FⅫ) gene and the involvement of FⅫ activity (FⅫ:C) in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA), and to elucidate its role in the pathogenesis of URSA. Methods This study included 203 patients with URSA (URSA group) and 171 healthy women with at least one child and no history of infertility or miscarriage (control group) in the southern area of Zhejiang Province. The C 46T polymorphism of the FⅫ gene was analyzed with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) in all subjects. The values of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen, FⅫ:C and other coagulant parameters were determined. The frequency distribution of the wild-type (CC), heterozygote (CT), homozygote (TT) genotypes and C and T alleles were compared between the patients and controls. A comprehensive analysis of association was conducted between C46T genotypes and the FⅫ:C levels in URSA patients. Results The CC, CT, TT genotypes of the FⅫgene were observed in 7 (3.4%, 7/203), 83 (40.9%, 83/203) and 113 (55.7%, 113/203) patients with URSA versus 7 (4.1%, 7/171), 46 (26.9%, 46/171) and 118 (69.0%, 118/171) controls. The frequency of CT in the patients with URSA was significantly higher than that in controls, but the frequency of TT in the patients was lower than that in controls (χ2=7.939, OR=1.884, 95%CI:1.210-2.935, P<0.05). The frequencies of allele C and allele T were observed in 97 (23.9%, 97/406) and 309 (76.1%, 309/406) patients with URSA versus 60 (17.5%, 60/342) and 282 (82.5%, 282/342) controls. The distribution frequency of allele T in URSA group was lower than that in control group (χ2=4.510, OR=1.475, 95%CI:1.029-2.115, P<0.05). The FⅫ:C levels in the patients were (102±13)%in CC genotype, (78±11)%in CT genotype and (59± 9)%in TT genotype, respectively. The differences of the FⅫ:C levels between the CC and CT, CT and TT, CC and TT genotypes in the patients were significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions The low level of FⅫ:C maybe result from the T allele of the FⅫgene in URSA patients. The CT genotype might be relative to the pathogenesis of URSA in a Chinese Han female population from the southern area of Zhejiang province.

Objective To explore the role of integrin αvβ6 in mediating the tolerance of gastric cancer AGS cells to 5-fluorouracil, and to determine whether direct β6-extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase(ERK) binding is involved. Methods Gastric cancer AGS cells in the logarithmic phase were incubated with either 5-fluorouracil for 24 hours ( control group), with 0.1 g/L of mouse anti-αvβ6 monoclonal antibody 10D5 for 6 hours and then with 5-fluorouracil for24 hours ( 10D5 group), with IgG2a and 5-fluorouracil ( IgG2a group), or with 5-fluorouracil and 20 μnol/L of ERK inhibitor PD98059 for 24 hours ( PD98059 group). Cell proliferation,apoptosis and the expression of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 protein were detected by MTT assay, flow cytometry and western blotting, respectively. All data were analysed by one-way analysis of variance and LSD test. Results The cell inhibition rates of the control group, 10D5 group, IgG2a group and PD98059 group were 28.1% ±2.7%,84.5% ± 1.6%, 31.4% ±5.2%, 86.7% ±5.2%, respectively, with a significant difference ( F = 342. 5, P ＜0.05). The apoptosis rates of the control group, 10D5 group, IgG2a group, and PD98059 group were 6.6% ±1.4%, 30.6% ± 2.4%, 8.1% ± 1.3%, 36.0% ±4.0%, respectively, with a significant difference among the four groups (F = 105.4, P ＜0.05 ). There was a significant difference in the expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 among the four groups (F=292.1, 181.6, P＜0.05). Conclusion Integrin αvβ6 can mediate the tolerance of gastric cancer AGS cells to 5-fluorouracil through direct β6-ERK binding.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) marked by 99Tcm-IT-Ritux-imab and to discuss the clinical value of the method in diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous melanoma. Methods:A total of 67 patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma received 99Tcm-IT-Rituximab-tagged SLNB from March 2008 to March 2012. Lymphoscintigra-phy was conducted 30 min to 1 h after intra-dermal injection of 99Tcm-IT-Rituximab. Subsequently, the surgery of SLNB was carried out using gamma probe. The detection and positive rates of SLNB were counted. The relationship between the status and the clinical features of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) was analyzed, such as the T stage, ulceration, age, gender, and location. The influence of SLN status on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was evaluated. Results:SLNs were detected in all the 67 patients by SPECT and gamma detector, with detection rate of 100%. Fifteen patients had SLN metastasis, and the positive rate was 22.4%. Chi-square indicates that SLN metastasis is associated with age, T stage, and ulceration (P<0.05). A total of 63 patients were followed up for 24-69 months, and the median follow up time was 43 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis shows that both OS and DFS in the SLN-negative group are better than those in the SLN-positive group (OS:93.9%vs. 57.1%, P<0.01;DFS:79.6%versus 28.6%, P<0.01). Cox-regression multiple factors analysis suggests that both SLN status and T stage are independent factors that affect the DFS of malignant melanoma. Conclusion:SLNB assisted by 99Tcm-IT-Rituximab can well reflect the state of lymph node metastasis and is es-sential for accurate staging, prognosis judging, and treatment guiding. Its operation procedure is simple with high accuracy, and the im-aging status is stable. Therefore, it is convenient and feasible as a means of SLNB.
