Objective To determine the expression of TM4SF1 mRNA in 5 human pancreatic cancer cell lines,and investigate its effect on the proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells.Methods The expression of TM4SF1 mRNA in MPanc96,MiaPaCa-2,PANC1,AsPC-1,HPAC cells was determined by qRT-PCR,and the results were compared with that of human pancreatic ductal epithelial (HPDE) cells.RNA interference method was used to transiently transfect siRNA targeting at TM4SF1 and negative control siRNA into MPanc96,MiaPaCa-2 cells.The proliferation of cells were measured by MTS method,and migration and invasion of cells were determined by Transwell.Results The expression levels of TM4SF1 mRNA in pancreatic cancer cell lines MPanc96,MiaPaCa-2,PANC1,AsPC-1 and HPAC were 1.205 ± 0.073,1.096 ± 0.260,1.382 ± 0.075,1.374 ± 0.363 and 0.744 ± 0.096,which were significantly highly than that in HPDE (0.020 ± 0.003,P ＜ 0.01).Compared with cells transfected with negative control siRNA,the proliferation of MPanc96 and MiaPaCa-2 cells transfected with siRNA targeting at TM4SF1 was not significantly changed,but the migration abilitiy was decreased by (62.5 ± 7.6) ％ and (72.8 ± 4.0) ％,and invasion abilitiy was decreased by (69.5 ± 5.7) ％ and (78.6 ± 6.3) ％.Conclusions TM4SF1 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells and appears to promote the migration and invasion abilities of the cancer cells.

Objective:To explore and analyze the relationship between serum KLK11 and MK levels and the effect of first iodine 131 ( 131I) ablation after operation for differentiated thyroid cancer. Method:108 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroidectomy in our hospital from Jun. 2020 to Jun. 2021 were consecutively selected, and received radioactive ablation after surgery. There were 37 males and 71 females. The age was (48.32±4.25) years, ranging from 28 to 79 years. The patients were divided into successful ablation according to whether the ablation was successful after treatment. There were 64 cases in the group and 44 cases in the unsuccessful group, and 60 healthy people with no abnormality in physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. The patients were divided into a metastasis-positive group of 20 cases and a metastasis-negative group of 88 cases according to whether lymph nodes occurred. After surgery, serum samples of all subjects were taken, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum kallikrein-related peptidases 11 (KLK11) and midkine (MK) , and the levels of serum KLK11 and MK were analyzed. Gender, age, BMI, TNM stage, TSH, maximum diameter of lesion, and duration of nail removal were collected. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors of postoperative efficacy.Result:The levels of serum KLK11 and MK in the successful and unsuccessful groups were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of KLK11 and MK in the unsuccessful group were higher than those in the successful group (KLK11: t= 2.642, P<0.05; MK: t=11.906, P<0.05) . The serum levels of KLK11 and MK in the metastasis-positive group were higher than those in the metastasis-negative group (KLK11: t= 2.908, P<0.05; MK: t=14.907, P<0.05) . Univariate analysis showed that BMI ( χ2=6.780, P=0.009) , maximum diameter of lesions ( χ2=14.819, P=0.001) , TSH ( χ2=13.627, P=0.001) , serum KLK11 ( t=2.642, P=0.01) , and serum MK ( t=11.906, P<0.001) were associated with the effect of first 131I ablation after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer ( P<0.05) . Taking the success of ablation as the dependent variable, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. The results showed that the maximum diameter of the lesions greater than 2 cm ( OR=10.740, 95%CI: 7.033-16.401) , increased level of TSH ( OR=8.559, 95%CI: 2.812-26.057) , increased serum KLK11 level ( OR=16.710, 95%CI: .548-32.666) and increased serum MK level ( OR=10.580, 95%CI: 6.294-17.786) were the factors affecting the first 131I ablation effect after DTC surgery ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The elevated levels of serum KLK11 and MK are independent risk factors affecting the efficacy of the first 131I ablation after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer.

Objective To investigate the value of introvoxel incoherent motion(IVIM)using 3.0 T MRI to evaluate response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)in patients with advanced uterine cervix cancer. Methods From July 2015 to December 2016,63 patients with advanced(≥ⅡB)cervical cancer diagnosed by clinical and imaging study, who had completed CCRT plan in Henan Cancer Hospital, were prospectively enrolled.Pelvic MRI protocol including T1WI,T2WI,IVIM and dynamic contrasted enhanced scans were performed in each patient before CCRT and 3 weeks after starting therapy(total dose of 30 Gy), and at the end of therapy (total dose of 90 Gy, 8 weeks after therapy). The mean values of ADC, true molecular diffusion coefficient(D),pseudodiffusion coefficient(D*)and perfusion fraction(f)in each tumor at pre-therapy, in the middle of therapy and post-therapy were measured and recorded as ADC-pre, D-pre, D*-pre,f-pre;ADC-mid,D-mid,D*-mid,f-mid and ADC-post,D-post,D*-post,f-post,respectively;the change rates of these parameters during and after therapy (recorded as ΔADC-mid, ΔD-mid, ΔD*-mid, Δf-mid;ΔADC-post, ΔD-post, ΔD*-post, Δf-post) were also calculated. Patients were classified into response group and non-response group,according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors after CCRT.MRI imaging study was performed in each patient within 1 month after CCRT to follow up,and tumor regression rate was calculated.The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences of parameters and their change rates between response group and non-response group. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess relationships between parameters, parameter change rates and tumor regression rate. Logistic regression model was applied to find potential ADC values for predicting therapeutic response. ROC was used to analyze efficacy of ADC values for evaluating therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT. Results The mean value of tumor maximum diameter before and after therapy was (47.5 ± 12.9) and(12.8 ± 10.0)mm,tumor regression rate was(66.7 ± 33.6)%.Forty-eight patients were in the response group and 15 in the non-response group.The mean value of ADC-pre,D-pre,D*-pre and f-pre was 0.74(0.43, 1.14)×10-3,0.58(0.33,0.91)×10-3,12.12(2.30,21.4)×10-3mm2/s,9.65%(4.45%,13.89%),respectively.Tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ADC-pre and D-pre (r=0.773,0.840;P<0.05). Responders had increased ADC-pre, D-pre values than non-responders, which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Responders had increased ADC-mid, D-mid and f-mid values than non-responders, which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05), tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ADC-mid, D-mid and f-mid (r=0.808,0.834,0.563;P<0.05). Responders had increased ADC-post, D-post and f-post values than non-responders,which had statistically significant difference(P<0.05),tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ADC-post and D-post (r=0.799, 0.829;P<0.05).Tumor regression rate had positive correlation with ΔADC-mid,ΔD-mid,Δf-mid(r=0.526,0.573,0.454;P<0.05)and with ΔADC-post,ΔD-post, Δf-post (r=0.541, 0.555, 0.388;P<0.05). Responders had increased ΔADC-mid, ΔD-mid, Δf-mid and ΔADC-post, ΔD-post, Δf-post, which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed only ADC-pre and D-post could be independent factors to predict therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT,values of B,Wald,odds ratio and P was 22.488,8.431,1.429, 0.004 and 16.542,8.517,1.779,0.004.ROC analysis showed the area under the curve(AUC)of ADC-pre, D-pre,ΔADC-mid,ΔD-mid,Δf-mid,ΔADC-post,ΔD-post and Δf-post for predicting therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT were 0.890,0.926,0.942,0.851,0.803,0.929,0.951 and 0.906, respectively. Conclusion The IVIM parameters before and during CCRT process and their changes are valuable for predicting and evaluating therapeutic response in advanced uterine cervix cancer after CCRT, with high clinical practice value.
