Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(7):545-547
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) , a rare and specific type of primary gastric adenocarcinoma, is a highly malignant neoplasm characterized by a poor prognosis and a histological component that mimicks hepatocellular carcinoma morphologically as well as immunophenotypically. In the literature, only liver and lymph nodes metastases have been identified as determinants for survival in patients with HAS.
2.Advances in signaling pathways of pancreatic cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(14):724-727
Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis, with a five-year survival less than 5%. Nowadays, to improve the treat-ment efficacy of pancreatic cancer has been a highlight for medical researchers worldwide. Increasing knowledge about the molecular pathogenesis of the disease has shown that genic mutations, such as oncogene Kras2, and anti-oncogenes Cdkn2a, and TP53, are hall-marks of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is vital to deeply understand the pathogenetic mechanism of pancreatic cancer and find new therapeutic strategies to cover it. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in the signaling pathways of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effects of individual extralevator abdominalperineal excision (ELAPE) for rectal neoplasms below levator hiatus on pelvic floor by finite element analysis. Methods MIMICS 10.01, GeoMagic Studio 12 and ANSYS Workbench 14.0 were used to deal with magnetic resonance data of 27 healthy nulliparous volunteers'pelvic, and then three types of finite element models were developed:intact models, ELAPE models and individual ELAPE models. The maximum stress in non levator ani tissue under the same load were measured in three types of models, and levator ani 's maximal stresses were measured in intact model and individual ELAPE and their stress distributions under the same pressure were analyzed and compared. Results The maximal stresses of non-levator ani tissue were (1.963±0.061) MPa, (5.127±0.070) MPa and (4.703±0.110) MPa for intact model, ELAPE model and individual ELAPE model respectively. The maximal stress was lower in individual ELAPE model than that in ELAPE model, but which was higher than that of intact model (P<0.01). The high-stress zone was found at the joints with surrounding structures on both sides of intact model and ELAPE model. The high-stress zone was found in front of the joints with surrounding structures on both sides in individual ELAPE model. The maximal stresses of three types of models were found in front of both sides. In intact model levator ani 's maximal stress was (0.812 ± 0.042) MPa, which was higher than that of individual ELAPE model (0.719 ± 0.027) MPa (P<0.01). The high-stress zone of intact model was found in front of the joints on both sides. The maximal stress was showed at ventral ends on both sides. For the individual ELAPE model the high-stress zone was found at the anterior part of the levator ani muscle and the surrounding structure. The maximum stress appeared at the top end of the left and right sides. Conclusion This individual ELAPE is able to decrease the stress of non-levator ani tissue, which suggests that the risk of postoperative pelvic floor hernia is relatively reduced.

Methods The retrospective analysis was performed in the 46 cases of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients in our hospital from August 1955 to May 2000. Results The 46 cases of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients account for 7.6% (46/608) of the total cases of colon cancer in patients in the same period. There were 26 cases of the male and 20 cases of the female. 30 cases were colon cancer with tumors from other organs. "The different time cancer" could be found 31 years later. The follow-up rate was 100%. The survival rates for 3,5,10,15,20 years were 71.1%(27/38), 63.6%(21/33), 43.3%(13/30), 28.6%(8/28) and 16.0%(4/25) respectively. In this study, we found that the survival rate of the group was higher than that of the aged patients suffering colon cancer in the same period of time. Conclusions The number of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients has been increased in the decade. The incidence was 43.5% (20/46) in the study. With the development of society, both doctors and patients have improved their knowledge about multiple original carcinomas in aged patients. The positive rate of early diagnosis was promoted to a high level, especially in the monitor and treatment of per operation. Choosing the energetic operation, we will acquire the better therapeutic efficacy for treatment of multiple original cancer in aged patients.
6.Research progress of biomarkers in diagnosis and therapy of colorectal cancer
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2019;42(6):522-526
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common human malignant diseases, the cumulative result of genetic and epigenetic mutations, and its mortality rate is second only to that of lung cancer. Most patients with CRC have developed to middle to advanced stage when symptoms appear, and the treatment effects of surgery and chemotherapy are usually not satisfactory. With the emergence of targeted drugs in recent years, individualized treatment of colorectal cancer has gradually become a trend. With the development of colorectal cancer research, more and more molecular markers of colorectal cancer have been continuously discovered, and its impact on tumorigenesis, development and treatment has gradually received more attention. The application of molecular markers in the screening of colorectal cancer can help the early detection and diagnosis. Detection of molecular markers before individualized treatment can optimize the treatment plan and prompt the patient's prognosis. In this paper, the most recent findings of molecular markers with promising clinical application were summarized, in order to provide reference for the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo seek the optimum treatment for patients with primary gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and factors associated with prognosis.
METHODSA retrospective study was conducted on 157 primary gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who had received operation for 45 years.
RESULTSThe X-ray diagnosis rate was 39.4% before operation. The diagnosis rate by gastroscopy was 52.7%. Among the 157 patients, 32 belonged to stage I(E), 40 stage II(E), 29 stage III(E), and 56 stage IV(E). All of the patients were received chemotherapy or radiation. The 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-year survival rates were 51.1% (69/135), 42.3% (55/130), 20.7% (23/111), and 13.5% (14/104).
CONCLUSIONSThe 3-, 5-year survival rates in stage I(E) and stage II(E) were 2 to 5 times higher than those in stage III(E) and IV(E) (P < 0.01). The 3-, 5-year survival rates of primary gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were 60.2% (65/108) and 50.0% (52/104) respectively. The prognosis was better than the 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer patients with D(2) lymphodenectomy (33.3%). Early diagnosis and treatment are effective to prevent complications, enhance quality of patient's life, and prolong the survival.

Introduction of the da Vinci robotic surgical system has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive surgery. Innovative ro-botic technologies have helped surgeons overcome the technical difficulties of conventional laparoscopic surgery. At present, da Vinci robotic colorectal surgery is a safe and feasible option and has shown comparable short-term outcomes with conventional laparoscop-ic surgery. However, it has no oncological advantage despite its significantly higher cost. Promising technologies have been developed to overcome the drawbacks and obstacles of the current robotic systems. Moreover, further randomized controlled clinical trials are re-quired to assess the long-term results and potential benefits of robotic surgery over laparoscopy. This review aimed to elucidate the current developments in robotic colorectal surgery and to explore emerging surgical robotic technologies currently available or in de-velopment.

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification process that can degrade proteins within cells and plays a vital role in maintaining protein homeostasis and abundance. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are important proteases in the ubiquitin system. They reverse the ubiquitination process by cleaving protein chains and recycling ubiquitin molecules to regulate protein stability. Abnormal deubiquitinating enzyme activity is related to the occurrence and development of many malignant tumors. JOSD2, a DUB, is a member of the Machado-Joseph disease protein domain protease (MJD) family and characterized by a single highly conserved catalytic Josephin domain. Increasing studies have revealed a connection between JOSD2 and malignant tumors. This article elaborates on the current research status of DUBs, particularly JOSD2, in malignant tumors. Results suggest that JOSD2 is a potential target for the treatment of malignant tumors.
