1.Progress in CXCL12-CXCR4 biological axis in colorectal cancer
China Oncology 2001;0(03):-
Colorectal cancer(CRC) is kind of the common malignant tumor worldwide.Bad prognosis is always due to distal metastasis.In recent years,the research on chemokines targeted on cancer metastasis and directing on the movement of the tumor cells have been more and more deeply taken into consideration.Chemokine CXCL12 and its specific chemokine receptor CXCR4 play important roles in CRC cell's targeted cancer metastasis and directing movement by signal transduction mechanism.Researches showed that it can inhibit the migration and invasion of the tumor through interception chemokine receptor CXCR4 by many ways.The studies of this signal may be a potential target sit for gene therapy.The aim of this review was to summarize the current knowledge of these researches.
2.Hedgehog signaling pathway and gastric cancer
China Oncology 2009;19(6):443-447
Hedgehog(Hh) pathway plays a key role in a variety of processes, such as embryogenesis, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, tissue repair and carcinogenesis. Recent studies indicate that the aberrant activation of Hh pathway has been linked to multiple types of human cancer. Here, we present an overview of the processing and secretion of Hh pathway and the role of Hh pathway in gastric cancer.
3.Research progress of miRNAs associated with the diagnosis of gastric cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2016;43(5):345-348
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors.Over recent years,the development of new genetic technologies have built the foundation for a better understanding of the abnormal expression of miRNAs in gastric cancer.It might improve the accuracy of prognosis prediction and lead to more efficient personalized treatments for gastric cancer.The article will review the potential applications of miRNAs as biomarkers for mechanism,diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer.
4.Epithelial-mesenchymal transition and gastric cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(12):924-926
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is that cells undergo a switch from epithelial phenotype to mesenchymal phenotype.Recent researches show that EMT can affect the occurrence and development of gastric cancer through a variety of mechanisms and promote the migration and invasion of tumor cells.The process of EMT involves a number of signal transduction pathways,and is related to microRNAs,Helicobacter pylori,transcription factors and so on.EMT is expected to be a novel therapeutic target of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of suppressor gene Runt-related transcription factor 3(Runx3)in gastric carcinoma and its relationship with clinicopathologic parameters.Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine the mRNA expression and protein expression of Runx3 gene in primary tumor and corresponding normal tissues respectively in 52 patients with gastric carcinoma.The relationship between Runx3 expression and clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed.Results RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in 52 patients with gastric carcinoma showed down-regulation of Runx3 mRNA and Runx3 protein in 59.6%(31/52)and 48.1%(25/52)of the primary tumors tested,and in none of the normal tissues(P

Purpose:To investigate the clinicopathological characristics of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (MUC),which is generally bel ieved to have a poor prognosis,in an attempt to assess ways in which the surgica l outcome can be improved. Methods:From 1994 to 2003,1 715 large intestinal cancer patient s underwent operation, among them, 197 patients were with MUC. The clinicopathol ogical parameters and prognosis of MUC and non-MUC were analyzed retrospectivel y. Results:There were no significant differences in sex , tumor si te and size. Patients with MUC had higher rate of serosal invasion (MUC:59.9% vs non-MUC: 35.1%) , invasive type lymph-node involvement (MUC:41.6% vs non-MUC 21.6%). Patients with MUC were of more advanced stage(D stage:MUC :44.1% vs non-MUC: 22.1%). Conclusions:Based on these findings , a more aggressive attitud e toward surgical intervention is recommended , including extensive lymph node d issection and the resection of adjacent organs that seems to be affected microsc opically , to improve the surgical outcome of this clinical entity.

Objective To evaluate the use of ductography.Method A review of 51 patients with presenting complaints of nipple discharge from January 1998 to May 2000 was conducted. Pathology and ductograms were reviewed.Result Ductography had a definite value in the diagnosis of nipple discharge, the sensitiveity was 84.3%.Conclusion Ductography had value to locate and identify leisions, especially multiple leisions and leisions in the periphery of the breast, but it did not exclude pathology.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of enteral nutrition during perioperation in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumor.Methods:Forty cases with gastrointestinal tumor were randomized into the experimental group(n=20) and the control group(n=20).The experimental group was given nutritional support with Peptison liquid and was maintained for 7 days.The control group was treated with conventional methods.Results:The experimental group had faster recovery of gastrointestinal function as compared with the control group.The nutrition status and cellular immune function were ameliorated markedly in experimental group.Conclusion:The enteral nutrition in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumor can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function,ameliorate nutrition status and cellular immune function.

Background and purpose:Liver is one of the most common metastatic sites in colorectal carcinoma,but there is no biomarker that could be used to predict and evaluate the possibility of metastases in the liver.Our study is aiming to investigate the relative parameters of liver metastasis of colorectal carcinoma after surgery.Methods:Several factors,including serum CEA level,lymph node metastasis,vessel and lymph vessel invasion,pathologic character of primary tumor,were used for analysis,the data was collected from either patients of colorectal carcinoma with(107 cases) and without(100 cases) hepatic metastasis in 2 years.All of the patients received surgery.Results:Patients with hepatic metastasis had significantly higher positive rates in terms of remote lymph node metastasis,vessel and lymph vessel invasion,respectively(P

Objective To explore the effect of duraphat varnish on reducing orthodontic tooth enamel demineralization around brackets.Methods We Selected 30 patients aged 12 to 14 years old in orthodontic Departrnent of Shenyang Stomatological Hospital from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013 and carried out rectification scheme to pull out the first premolar after test.The full mouth dental were divided into four parts by the quadrant and the first premolars of different groups were coated with Tooth Mousse,Fluor Protector and saline (as control group),duraphat varnish (as experimental group) respectively.Every group included 30 teeth.Three months later,We observed the demineralization of the teeth.The enamel decalcification of all quarters were detected by DI-AGNOdent.Results The rate of enamel demineralization in the experimental group was 10.0%,that in the Tooth Mousse group was 13.3%,the 0.1% Fluor Protector group 23.3%,the saline group 53.3%.There were significant statistical difference of the rate of enamel demineralization between the Duraphat varnish group and 0.1% Fluor Protector group,and that between the Duraphat varnish group and the saline group (P < 0.01).There was no statistical difference of that between the Duraphat varnish group and the Tooth Mousse group (P >0.05).There were no statistical difference of DIAGNOdent reading between the experimental group and the control groups before bonding(P > 0.05).After bonding,one month later and three months later,there was no statistical difference of DIAGNOdent reading between the Duraphat varnish group and the Tooth Mousse group (P > 0.05).There was significant statistical difference of that between the Duraphat varnish group and 0.1% Fluor Protector group(P < 0.01).Conclusion Duraphat varnish can reduce the tooth enamel demineralization more effectively than 0.1% Fluor Protector and saline in orthodontic treatment,and also can be used for children who were wearing fixed orthodontic appliances.
