Objective To investigate the relationship between expression of REG Iα gene and its clinicopathologic parameters, the survival rate in the patients with primary gastric cancer. Methods Using RT-PCR after extracting RNA from paraffin-embedded materials and immunohistochemical techniques, REG Iα gene expression was investigated in 235 samples. And the relation among their results with the clinicopathologic parameters of primary gastric carcinoma was discussed in experiment by SPSS 13.0 statistic software. Results The positive REG Iα mRNA was 78% (183/235) of primary gastric carcinoma and the positive rate of REG Iα protein was 31.1% (73/235) in 235 patients with primary gastric carcinoma. REG Iα gene expression in infiltrating tumors was found to be significantly higher compared with localized tumors ( P <0.05). REG Iα gene was closely linked to the infiltrative growth pattern, signet ring cell and poorly differentitated adencarcinoma. The incidence of venous invasion of REG Iα gene-positive differentiated adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than that of REG Iα gene-negative tumors. Moreover, the patients with REG Iα gene-positive differentiated adenocarcinoma were found to have a significantly poorer prognosis as compared with REG Iα gene-negative tumor patients. Conclusions The results of the experiment demonstrated that the expression of the REG Iα gene is closely related to the infiltrating property of primary gastric carcinoma. Signet ring cells and poorly differentiated adencarcinoma significantly enhance the risk of venous invasion of REG Iα gene-positive differentiated adenocarcinoma and might be as a prognostic indicator of differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach in clinic diagnosis.

The titer of Interleukin-2 (IL-2), prepared from the healthy human peripheral blood lymphoytes which were stimulating-induced by carboxymethy-parchymaran (CMP), was very high and reached clinical drug level after special process. The IL-2 was not only available for intramuscular injection. but also for intravenous in jection or even for intraarterial, injection 44 partients with advanced malignant tumor treated with the combination of IL-2 / LAK and chemotherapy showed an overall objective response rate to 86. 4% (CR + PR: 13, 29.3%); (CR + PR + MR: 22, 50%); (CR + PR + MR + SR : 38, 86. 4%) . 37 Patients with various malignant tumors were treated by low-dose interleukin-2 stinulated with CMP and irradiation with 60Co. The percentages of CR, PR and SR were 51.4%, 46.8%and 2.7%, respectively. Overall effectiveness rate was 97.3%. 1 year survival rate was 86.2%. 16 Patients with various advanced cancers were treated by low-dose interleukin-2 stimulated with CMP and low - dose radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The percentage of CR, PR and SR was 37. 5%, 56. 3%and 6 . 3%, respectively. Overall effective rate was 93. 8%. 1 year survival rate was 87. 5%. The current results indicate that the possibility of combined therapy of the low - dose IL-2/LAK adoptive chemoimmunotherapy and radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be effective in treatment of advanced cancer.

AIM: To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) and CD31 in relation to metastasis in ovarian epithelial tumors. METHODS: VEGFR-3 and CD31 expression were examined by immunohistochemical methods, VEGFR-3 positive microlymphatic count (MLC) and microvessel density (MVD) were assessed by the image analysis. RESULTS: Both MLC and MVD in ovarian epithelial carcinomas were higher than those in benign tumors(MLC, P 0 05). CONCLUSIONS: VEGFR-3 and CD31 expression correlate significantly with metastasis, MLC and MVD might predict peritumoral lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis, which may be as a biologic marker for metastasis in ovarian epithelial tumors.

AIM: To examine the 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase activity and the peritoneal pathological changes when using commercially dialysates in order to reveal effects of the peritoneal dialysate biocompatibility on the immune function and morphological changes. METHODS: (1) CAPD animal models were made using dialysates. (2) Dynamic measurements of 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase activity were made by paper chromatography. (3)The pathological changes of the peritoneal mesothelial cells were examined by light microscope. RESULTS: 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase activities in both experimental (dialysis solution groups) and control group were increased and the mesothelial cell began to exfoliate and become thicker with the infiltration of inflammatory cells at different degrees in the experimental groups, while in the Baxter group, no active inflammation was observed. When the peritoneal dialysis stopped, activity of 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase began to be normal in control group and continued to decline in experimental groups.CONCLUSION: Prolonged immune suppression existed with long-term peritoneal dialysis, causing pathological changes of the peritoneum at certain degrees. Different dialysis solutions resulted in different degrees of immuno-supression and peritoneal damages, which was relevant to the biological compatibility of the peritoneal dialysate.

AIM: To study the regulatory effect of nitric oxide on the lymphatic stomata and probe into the mechanism of ultrafiltration failure during long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS: ①Sodium nitroprusside(SNP) and N G-monomethyl-L-arginine(L-NMMA) (inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)) were injected into the peritoneal cavity of the mouse model of PD. ②NO concentration was measured in serum. ③The lymphatic stomata was studied with SEM and computer image processing.RESULTS: During PD, a lot of macrophages wandered out of the lymphatic stomata to form milky spots on the peritoneal mesothelium, and the diameter and density of the stomata were increased with NO concentration raised. After PD cessation, the stomata was normal gradually and numbers of milky spots reduced with NO concentration fall. The diameter and density of the stomata were increased with a rise in NO concentration as SNP was used, oppositely those were decreased with the increase in NO concentration as L-NMMA was injected intraperitoneally. CONCLUSIONS: The lymphatic stomata might be regulated through increasing the endogenous NO concentration. During PD, NO is increased gradually and the ultrafiltration failure would occur when re-absorption of the stomata was increased from the peritoneal cavity.

Objective:This work presents the therapeutic advantage of induction therapy in patients withⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (ⅢA-N2 NSCLC). Methods:ⅢA-N2 NSCLC patients with ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node metastasis (>1 cm as shown by CT scan) who were admitted in our hospital between January 2008 and July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The response rates and survival outcomes of patients were presented and the prognostic factors were analyzed. Results:The 3-and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 57.7%and 34.2%, respectively, and the 3-and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 37.9%and 30.5%, respec-tively. No significant differences in OS and DFS were observed between R0 and R1 resections (P=0.118; P=0.369), between groups who received neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy and chemotherapy (P=0.771; P=0.953), between cases with and without clinical re-sponse (P=0.865;P=0.862), and among groups of different histological subtypes (P=0.685;P=0.208). However, patients with standard lobectomy or pathological nodal downstaging exhibited better OS (P=0.023 and P=0.024, respectively) and DFS (P=0.036 and P=0.025, respectively) than those who had extensive resections or persistent N2. Univariate analysis predicted better OS and DFS for both standard lobectomy and pathological nodal donwstaging. In addition, Cox multivariate analysis revealed that only pathological nodal downstaging could be considered as a favorable prognostic factor for DFS, while non-smoking and standard lobectomy are the corre-sponding variables for OS. Conclusion:Neo-adjuvant therapy with platinum-based doublet is feasible and useful in tumor and patho-logical nodal downstaging, which potentially improved resectability and survival rates in patients withⅢA-N2 NSCLC. Performing lo-bectomy or pathological nodal downstaging following induction therapy improved the patients' survival rate.
