Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world, and rectal cancer accounts for a large percentage of this disease in Chinese patients. Surgical extirpation is the mainstay of therapy, Intraluminal ultrasound is highly accurate in detecting depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis, and is also helpful in preoperative staging of rectal cancer. Preoperative adjuvant therapy could down-stage tumors, improve the radical resection rates of advanced lower rectal cancer, increase the rate of sphincter-saving surgery, and decrease the local recurrence rate. Total mesorectal excision could signifi-candy decrease the local metastasis of rectal cancer, and rectal cancer resection with preservation of pelvic autonomic nerve is effective in preventing urinary or reproductive dysfunction. Recently, minimally invasive surgery has been introduced for the management of rectal cancer, and transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a new method with advantages in rectal cancer treatment.

Objective To observe the selective regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) on fatty acid binding protein-4 (FABP4) in human syncytiotrophoblasts.Methods Cultivate normal human syncytiotrophoblast cells,and put in the specific antagonists and agonists of PPAR each subtypes receptors,then observe the different expression of FABP4 mRNA and protein.Results Pretreated the human syncytiotrophoblast cells with the agonists (GW7647,GW0742) and antagonists (GW6471,GSK0660) of PPARα and PPARβ receptors,the expression of the FABP4 was not significantly change (P＞0.05).However pretreated with PPARγ agonists (rosiglitazone,1 × 10-9,1 × 10-8,1 × 10-7 and 1 × 10-6 mol/L),the expression of FABP4 mRNA and protein could be dose dependent-promoted significantly (mRNA:1.27 ±0.12,1.45 ±0.14,1.57±0.14,1.72 ±0.12,protein:1.10 ±0.08,1.37 ±0.09,1.60 ±0.13,1.79 ± 0.14 ; P ＜ 0.05),furthermore,the promotion can be dose dependent-reversed by specific antagonists GW9662 (mRNA:0.92 ± 0.06,0.77 ± 0.06,0.64 ± 0.05,0.55 ± 0.05,protein:0.91 ±0.03,0.78 ±0.06,0.70±0.07,0.55 ±0.06; P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In normal human syncytiotrophoblast cells,FABP4 is a target factor of PPARγ.PPARγ regulated the expression of FABP4 mRNA and protein selectively.And the regulation will not be influenced by the other two PPAR subtypes.

A variety of molecular markers are related to the prognosis of gastric cancer,such as the the loss expression of AT rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A),the overexpression of CD133 and survivin are releated to the incidence and poor prognosis of gastric cancer; leptin,CD44 and microRNA (miRNA) are releated to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer; the low expression of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) contributes to the angiogenesis of gastric cancer,but the relationship between SPARC and prognosis needs further study; the expression and gene polymorphism of excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1) may be useful for choice of medication in the treatment of gastric cancer.

AIM: To study the efficacy and safety of Ultra Q- YAG vitreolysis for vitreous floaters.
METHODS: Retrospective case series study. From September 2014 to May 2015 in Beijing Aier - Intech Eye Hospital, 263 cases (340 eyes) with vitreous floaters were involved. All patients underwent visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp, mydriatic fundus, B ultrasonic examination, and recorded the form of a vitreous opacity excluded pathological fundus lesions. All the patients were divided into two groups: Group A (<30 years old) 78 cases (82 eyes); the morphology of vitreous opacity were dot, filiform and mesh. Group B ( > 45 years old), 185 cases (258 eyes), the morphology of vitreous opacity was Weiss ring, translucent flocculent clouds or dense fibrous membrane. Patients in 30 - 45 years old were eliminated because of the untypical opacity factor. The treatment was done by the same physician. Vision changes was analyzed before and after the treatment.
RESULTS: Questionnaire survey was done. According to the scores of the questionnaires, patients were divided into 3 groups: no improvement ( 1 - 2 points), partial improvement (3-5 points), significant improvement (6-10 points ). At 1mo after treatment, Group A: no improvement in 9 eyes (11. 0%), partial improvement in 57 eyes (69. 5%) and significant improvement in 16 eyes (19. 5%); Group B: no improvement in 0 eyes, partial improvement in 23 eyes ( 8. 9%) and significant improvement in 235 eyes (91. 1%); all the patients had no complications.
CONCLUSION: The treatment with YAG vitreolysis for vitreous floaters is safe and effective, especially for the patients more than 45 years old whose vitreous floaters caused by posterior vitreous detachment.
