1.Research advances on colon cancer stem cells
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(3):179-182
Colon cancer stem cells(Co-CSCs)are a small fraction of subgroup cells,which show the capabilities of self-renewal,proliferation and differentiation in colon cancer.Co-CSCs are tumorgenic,and they play an important role in the genesis development and metastasis of tumor.These studies of Co-CSCs may help developing effective targets and novel strategies for clinical tumor therapy.
2.Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Obesity
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(19):-
Epidemiological and animal studies have demonstrated that dietary lower intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) and(or) higher intake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids(n-6 PUFAs) leading to imbalance of their ratios are closely related to obesity.The mechanisms underlied are involved in PUFA′s effects on fatty acid synthesis and oxidation,adipocyte proliferation and differentiation and leptin expression.At transcription level,PUFAs can regulate the activities of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and CCAAT enhancer bin-ding proteins.
