Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1996;0(04):-
Although great achievement has been made on the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors,metastasis of tumor remains to be the major reason for treatment failure and death of their victims.The development of systematic biology and functional genomics give us a deeper understanding of the nature of metastasis at the molecular level.Based on the consensus reached on the metastasis mechanisms of cancer,including the genetic heterogeneity of cancer,pre-metastatic niche,epithelial-mesenchymal transition,anoikis resistance,angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis,etc,the targeted therapy at molecular level should be emphasized,the treatment should target the tumor stem cells,and RNAi technique and other techniques should be used in clinical anti-metastatic therapy.

Objective: To study the role of Fas/FasL signal in pulpitis. Methods: The expression of Fas/FasL in rat normal and inflammatory dental pulp was observed by immunohistochemical method and the expression of fas mRNA was studied by in situ hybridization. Results: A few of Fas and few of FasL positive cells were observed in normal dental pulp, while in inflammatory dental pulp many polymorphonuelear neutrophyl leukocytes(PMNs) and some pulp cells in the inflammatory area were stained positive. Conclusion: The apoptosis in dental pulp induced by Fas/FasL may play a role in pulpitis.

Objective To study the relationship between M3 receptor and prostastic tumor by analyzing the expressions of M3 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in adult human normal and neoplastic prostatic gland tissue. Methods The specimens included 36 normal prostates(fresh),36 benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)tissue(fresh),and 36 cancer tissue(8 fresh).RT-PCR was used to detect M3 receptor,VEGPs genetic expression.At protein level,VEGF,Ms receptor,CD34 were detected by western-blot and immunohistochemical method. Results VEGF and M3 receptor's genetic expressions were higher in prostate cancer tissue(O.8354±0.1897,0.7824±0.2047)than in BPH tissue(0.6735±0.1603,0.6021±0.1637),while the expressions of these genes were lowest in normal prostate tissue(0.5425±0.1629,0.3436±0.1581)(P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between M3 and VEGFs gene expression(r=0.4999,P

Objective To analyze the concentration, distribution and decreasing trend of niclosamide in soil through soil heaping mixed with niclosamide and the effect of Oncomelania control, and to explore the appropriate dosage for the 'heaping' method. Methods The soil samples were collected from six groups in Tezi township, Puge county, Sichuan Province, and the dosages were 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 and 0 g/m~2, respectively. After ultrasonic extraction, centrifugence and concentration, the samples were finally determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The mortality rate of snails was observed after 3 days and 7 days. Results The standard error and range of niclosamide in soil were large. There was no significant difference in concentration of niclosamide between the surface layer and deep layer of soil (P>0.05). After 5 months, niclosamide still could be determined in groups of 4 g/m~2. The mortality rate of snails decreased as the concentration of niclosamide decreased (P<0.05). After 5 months, in the group of 4 g/m~2 dosage, the 3 and 7 days mortality rate of snails were 5.33% and 9.33% in the surface layer, higher than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The heaping method is an efficacious measure of controlling snails and its recommended dosage is 4 g/m~2.

Background and purpose: Herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP) is a new deubiquitinating enzyme that was recently discovered. It has been demonstrated that HAUSP could deubiquitinate p53 both in vitro and in vivo. These results suggested that HAUSP might act as a tumor suppressor through the stabilization of p53 protein. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of HAUSP in breast carcinoma, and its association with p53 protein as well as their relationship to prognosis. Methods: The expression of HAUSP mRNA was detected by real-time PCR. HAUSP protein and p53 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry with EnVision system in breast carcinoma tissues and noncancerous tissues. The relationship between their expressions and clinical pathological parameters were analyzed. Results: The expression of HAUSP mRNA was significantly lower in breast cancer tissue than noncancerous tissue (1.85±0.04 vs. 2.74±0.03, P<0.01). The positive rates of HAUSP protein were significantly lower in breast cancer tissue in noncancerous tissue (59.4% vs. 75.0%, P<0.01), and expression of HAUSP protein had no significant correlation with the clinical pathological parameters. There was no significant correlation between HAUSP and p53 protein (P>0.05). The expression of HAUSP mRNA was positively associated with that of HAUSP protein (P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between HAUSP and p53 protein. DFS of patients with both HAUSP positive and p53 negative was significant higher than the controls (P<0.01). Conclusion: Down-regulation of HAUSP protein and HAUSP mRNA in breast carcinoma indicated that HAUSP gene might correlated to tumor carcinogenesis. In addition, the simultaneous evaluation of both HAUSP expression and p53 expression status may be helpful to evaluate the prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Objective To grasp the malaria epidemic situation in Changzhou City from 2010 to 2014,so as to provide the ev?idence for formulating and adjusting malaria control strategies and measures. Methods The epidemiological data of malaria cas?es in the special report system from 2010 to 2014 were collected,and the malaria epidemic situation and the diagnosis and treat?ment of malaria patients were analyzed. Results There were 132 malaria cases reported in Changzhou City from 2010 to 2014, with a decrease of 27.47%compared to 182 cases from 2005 to 2009. Among the 132 cases,2 cases were local infected cases and the remaining 130 cases were imported cases. Four cases were clinically diagnosed and 128 cases were laboratory con?firmed,with 97 cases of malignant malaria,14 cases of vivax malaria,13 cases of ovale malaria,and 4 cases of quartan malar?ia. The 132 cases were distributed in five districts:56 cases in Jintan City,51 cases in Liyang City,19 cases in Tianning Dis?trict,3 cases in Wujin District,and 3 cases in Xinbei District. The median duration between the onset and treatment of the dis?ease was 2 days,and the median duration between the diagnosis and treatment was 1 day. The diagnosing units were concentrat?ed on the county?level disease control agencies,and medical institutions at county and municipal levels,accounting for 92.42%(122/132). From 2011 to 2014,there were no local malaria cases. Conclusions From 2012 to 2014,there have been no local malaria cases in Changzhou City,and the goal of eliminating malaria has been achieved basically. However,there are still many imported malaria cases,and the infected species are diverse. Therefore,imported malaria is still the key of malaria prevention and control.
