ObjectivesTo compare clinical outcomes and safety of 5-Fu or capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. MethodsLiterature search were performed by key words,such as metastatic colorectal cancer,capecitabine,oxaliplatin,5-Fu on all randomized controlled trails reported on 5-Fu or capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer before Jun.2011.Two authors drew the details of trail design,characteristics of patients,outcomes and so on from the studies included. Data analysis was performed by RevMan 4.2. ResultsAccording to the same screening criteria,6 clinical studies were included in this Meta-analysis. Sample volume in this Meta-analysis was 2189 colorectal cancer cases.The baseline characteristics of 5-Fu group were similar to those of capecitabine group.The short-term outcome such as response rate,RR was 0.92 [95 %CI(0.82,1.02),P=0.12], and the long-term outcome such as median overall survival, median progression-free survival and the WMD was -0.19 [95 %CI(-0.73,0.35),P=0.49],-1.91 [95 %CI(-2.53,0.16),P=0.08],respectively,two groups weresimilar. In the comparison of Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade toxicity between the two groups, the incidences of neutropenic in 5-Fu group were higher than those in capecitabine group,and the RR was 0.24 [95 %CI(0.11,0.55), P=0.0007]. However, the incidence of wand-foot symptoms in 5-Fu group was lower than those in capecitabine group, the RR was 2.83 [95%CI (1.66,4.82), P=0.0001]. ConclusionBoth 5-Fu and capecitabine were similarly effective in the therapy of metastatic colorectal cancer. And the Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade toxicity such as neutropenic was easier to happen in 5-Fu group,while the incidence of hand-foot symptoms was on the other hand.

Objective To establish a radioresistant esophageal squamous cancer cell line,and to identify the radioresistant genes and mechanisms.Methods The radioresistant KYSE410-res cell line was established by repeated exposure of cell line KYSE410 to radiation.The proliferation and apoptosis of esophageal squamous cancer cells were evaluated before and after radiation.The changes in gene expression of the esophageal squamous cancer cells after radiation were determined by gene microarray and analyzed by group t test.The genes with significant difference in expression after radiation were validated.Results The KYSE410-res cells had significantly enhanced proliferation and anti-apoptosis than the KYSE410 cells (all P<0.05).The result of gene microarray showed that compared with the KYSE410 cells,the KYSE410-res cells had the expression of 463 and 251 genes upregulated and downregulated by no less than 4 folds,respectively.Those genes with different expression levels after radiation were mainly responsible for cell proliferation,adhesion,signal transduction,angiogenesis,reactive oxygen metabolism,cell damage repair,and the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.OAS2 and UBD were key proteins in the network.In the KYSE410-res cells,the expression of HLA-DQBI,MMP1,NCAM1,ZNF521,GPC6,SELENBP1,LCN15,and TFPI-2 genes measured by real-time PCR was consistent with that measured by gene microarray.Conclusions Abnormal activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway,upregulated expression of OAS2 and UBD,downregulated expression of TFPI-2,and upregulated expression of MMPs may play a role in radioresistance of esophageal cancer cells.

AIM:To explore the relationship and molecular mechanism between microRNA-21(miR-21) and Schwann cells ( SC) following peripheral nerve injury.METHODS: The mRNA expression of miR-21 and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten ( PTEN) in animal model were detected by real-time PCR.The over-ex-pression of miR-21 and inhibition of miR-21 expression in the Schwann cells according to transfection of lentiviral vectors were performed, the nonspecific miRNA was used as a negative control ( NC) .The cell apoptosis was measured by flow cy-tometry.The mRNA expression of miR-21 and PTEN in the cells was detected by real-time PCR.The protein expression of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 was determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The level of miR-21 was significantly higher and the mRNA level of PTEN was significantly lower in the model of nerve injury than those in control group.miR-21 over-expression decreased the number of apoptotic Schwann cells compared with NC-SC.The mRNA expression of PTEN was down-regulated by over-expression of miR-21.The protein expression of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 was down-regulated by over-expression of miR-21 (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: miR-21 may play an important role in the peripheral nerve injury through inhibiting apoptosis of Schwann cells by down-regulating the expression of PTEN.
