Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is preoperative chemotherapy.It can minish burthen of tumor,lower the clinical stage,increase resection rate of cancer and improve therapeutic efficacy.Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer,as a relatively latest concept,has been applied in clinic more and more.

Objective To review the recent studies on the suppressing function of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) in breast cancer metastasis. Methods The recent literatures on the mechanisms of BRMS1 in the breast cancer that were published in and abroad were reviewed and summarized. Results BRMS1, similar to the other anti-metastasis genes, only suppresses the metastasis of breast cancer cells but has nothing to do with the growth of tumor. BRMS1 could suppress metastasis of tumor cells by reestablishing both the homospecific and the heterospecific gap junctional intercellular comminications (GJIC) and by altering the expressions of relevant metastasis genes in the breast cancer. Conclusion Further studies on BRMS1 may be helpful to understand the metastasis of breast cancer, which may provide a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

To compare the effects of open surgery (OS) and endovascular graft exclusion (EVGE) for abdominal aortic aneurysms on the liver and renal functions, the serum total protein, albumin, globulin and the ratio of A/G of 57 patients with alodominal aortis aneurysm were analyzed before and after the two operations.The results showed that the serum total protein,albumin,globalin and the ratio of A/G were signifcantly decreased in the open surgery group, while remarkabe decrease was found in globulin but no significant change in the ratio of A/G in the EVGE group.Creatinine and urea introgen were significantly decreased in the open surgery graup and remained normal in the EVGE group.It is suggested that the effect of EVGE on the liver and renal function is much less than traditional(open) surgery.

ObjectiveTo constructe the quality-evaluation index system of clinical teaching of operating room. MethodsThe quality-evaluation indicator system was constructed using literature study and Delphi. Then the Precedence Chart and Analytic Hierarchy Process was adopted to ensure the index's weight. ResultsThe scale was formed by 5 items of level 1 and 21 items of level 2 of the index system. ConclusionThe index system has high reliability,which can be confirmed from experts' authority degree, their attentive involvement and the concentrating degree of the views. The Quality-Evaluation Index System ( QEIS ) is constructed which can be used to evaluate clinical teaching of operating room.

The separation of digestive system cancer stem cells (CSCs) is the first step of the study of stem cell.At present,there are three methods of separation of the digestive system CSCs:cell phenotype sorting,side population cell sorting and serum-free culture.The separation of digestive system CSCs is based on these three methods or be improved to a higher proportion of CSCs.

Objective: To investigate the antitumor effect of SGI-1776 on human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro, and the proliferation inhibitory effects of SGI-1776 were determined by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The effect of SGI-1776 on the distribution of cell cycle phase was observed by flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) staining. hTe inhibition rate of migration and invasion were valued by transwell cell assay. Multiple molecular techniques, such as ELISA, Western blot, siRNA and cDNA transfection were used to explore the molecular mechanism. Results: SGI-1776 presented dramatic anti-tumor activity against HO-8910 cells in vitro, inhibited the cells proliferation and colony formation, and attenuated the migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner, accompanied by cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. SGI-1776 caused the proliferation inhibition with concomitant decrease in Pim-1 kinase activity, down-regulated the expression of Pim-1 protein and and its downstream genes, such as CDK6, pCDK6, CDK4, pCDK4, CDK2 and pCDK2, and increased the expression of P21 and P27. Down-regulation expression of Pim-1 by siRNA followed SGI-1776 treatment resulted in enhanced cell proliferation inhibition rate and attenuated migration/invasion. Up-regulation of Pim-1 by cDNA transfection attenuated SGI-1776-induced cell proliferation inhibition and its migration/invasion. Conclusion: Pim-1 mediates the biological effect of SGI-1776 in human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells, suggesting Pim-1 might be a novel target for human ovarian cancer.

The syndrome of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM)includes not only abnor-mal glucose metabolism but also specific microvascular complications that include nephropathy,retinopathy and neuropathy.In the short term,improvement in the quality of life and possible prevention of further morbidity associated with diabetes makes pancreas trans-plantation an important therapeutic option,particularly when combined with a kidney trans-plant,in appropriately selected diabetic patients.The focus of the early management of the pancreas transplant recipient is the prevention of acute rejection.In this article we review the methods for clinical diagnosis of the early acute rejection due to pancreas transplanta-tion.

Objective To observe the cardioprotective effects of hyperoxia liquid by comparing the changes of blood concentrations of malondialdehyde(MDA)and super oxide dismutase(SOD)in mechanical heart valve replacement.Methods Thirty patients required mechanical heart valve replacement were randomly divided into hyperoxia liquid group(Group HL) and control group 15 cases in each.From the start of skin incision(T_(0)) to(10min) after CPB,patients received 10mL/kg Ringer's injection(control group) and 10mL/kg hyperoxia liquid(Group HL) seperately.The central venous blood samples,which were collected in both groups respectively at skin incision(T_(0)),1h after start of CPB(T_1),2h(T_2) and 24h(T_3) after aorta off-clamping,were used to test the blood concentrations of SOD and MDA.Also a series of clinical data were recorded,such as the rate of heart automatic rebeat after aorta off-clamping,ventricular arrhythmia,usage of dopamine in operation and postoperation.(Results)In both groups,the blood concentrations of MDA and SOD were all within normal range before operation.MDA level at T_(2) was lower in Group HL than that in control(P

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-9)and tension protein homologous gene in gingival cancer tissue.Methods 50 cases in Guyuan people's hospital from June 2013to December 2016 were selected to study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-9)and tension protein homologous gene in gingival cancer tissue.Results The positive rate of PTEN in gingival cancer group was 54.00%, the positive rate of PTEN was 94.00% in normal tissue, normal control group positive rate of PTEN was significantly higher than that of gingival cancer group(P<0.05);the positive rate of MMP-9 in gingival cancer group was 76.00%, the positive rate of control group was 20.00%, gingival cancer group was significantly higher than the normal control group(P<0.05).The expression of MMP-9 and PTEN in in gingival cancer tissue was unrealted with gender, age, and tissue differentiation, and associated with lymph node metastasis and tissue infiltration(P<0.05).Conclusion PTEN expression is low in gingival cancer tissue low, MMP-9 expression is high in gingival cancer tissues.PTEN and MMP-9 are closely related to the incidence and development of gingival cancer.Therefore, MMP-9 positivity is a risk factor for gingival cancer, while PTEN positivity is a protective factor for gingival cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of nitrotyrosine (3-NT) on the expression of ?1D adrenoceptor (?1D-AR) mRNA in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCS) .Methods SMCS were obtained from the tunica media of thoracic aorta of 1 month old SD rats and cultured in DMEM medium. The experiment consisted of two parts. In part Ⅰ SMCS were incubated with 0,1, 10, 100 or 200 ?mol?L-1 3-NT for 24 h and in part Ⅱ SMCS were incubated with 100 ?mol?L-1 3-NT forO,12, 24, 48 or 72 h. The total RNA was isolated by using Trizol reagent. The expression of ?1D-AR mRNA was determined by RT-PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis. Results In part I incubation with 1 and 10 ?mol?L- 3-NT for 24 h had no significant effect on the expression of ?1D-AR mRNA while incubation with 100 or 200 ?mol?L-1 3-NT for 24 h decreased the expression of ?1D-AR mRNA compared with 0?mol?L-1 3-NT (P
