Purpose To introduce a method to isolate cDNA clones using bacteriophage P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) or bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) as probe for hybridization and try to find some novel genes related to hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods PAC 579 (D17S926 locus) and BAC 1529 (D17S1529 locus) in the deletion region of chromosome 17p13.3 in human hepatocellular carcinoma were chosen to screening the human liver cDNA library as probe for hybridization. The isolated positive cDNA clones were partially sequenced, then analyzed by computer comparison and Southern blot. Results After three cycles of screening, 78 and 8 candidate positive cDNA clones were isolated using PAC 579 and BAC 1529 probes respectively. Further analysis indicated 18 cDNA clones isolated by PAC 579 probe and 5 cDNA isolated by BAC 1529 probe were potential novel genes related to hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusions The isolation of cDNA clones using PAC and BAC probes is effective and practical.

Objective To investigate infection status and antimicrobial resistance mechanism of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus(MRSA),and provide reference for the rational antimicrobial use in clinic. Methods Staphylococcusaureus (SA)isolated from various specimens in Xuzhou area in 2012-2015 were collected,MR-SA strains were preliminarily screened by cefoxitin disk diffusion method,and confirmed by amplification of mecA gene,antimicrobial resistance of MRSA was determined by Kirby-Bauer method,minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)was measured by E-test method,genotypes of staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec(SCCmec)were de-termined by multiplex PCR. Results A total of 116 strains of MRSA were identified among 210 SA strains in 2012-2015,114 of which were positive for mecA gene,the total detection rate of MRSA was 55.24% . Susceptibility rates of MRSA to vancomycin,quinupristin/dalfopristin,and linezolid were all 100% ,resistance rates of MRSA to chloramphenicol and furantoin were both low,which were 15.52% and 1.72% respectively,resistance rates of MR-SA to 10 kinds of antimicrobial agents were all>80% ;resistance rates of MRSA to penicillins,aminoglycosides, macrolides,quinolones,sulfanilamide,rifampicin,tetracycline,and clindamycin were all higher than methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcusaureus(MSSA). MICs of vancomycin to MRSA in 2012-2015 were all 1.0μg/mL,MIC90 were all 1.5μg/mL,one MRSA isolate was with a vancomycin MIC of 2.0μg/mL in 2015. MRSA typing results of 116 MRSA isolates showed that SCCmec II,SCCmec III,and SCCmec IV accounted for 9.48% (n= 11),73.28% (n= 85),and 1.72% (Iva,n= 2;IVb,n= 2)respectively,13.79% (n= 16)of MRSA isolates were nontypeable, SCCmec I and SCCmec V type strains were not found. Conclusion MRSA is seriously multidrug-resistant,the drift has not been discovered in MIC value of vancomycin against MRSA,the major SCCmec genotype of MRSA is SCCmec III,infection control measures should be taken to control MRSA infection.

Background and purpose:The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer increased gradually in China, cancer survival rate plays an important role in guiding cancer prevention and treatment.Methods:Data of colorectal cancer cases diagnosed during 2002-2006, follow-up information and death report were from Shanghai Cancer Registry, Life Table and EdererⅡ were used to calculate observed survival (OS) and relative survival (RS), the related demographic characteristics and status were also analyzed to relfect the survival situations of the colorectal cancer survivors in major areas in Shanghai.Results:In this study, 16 682 colon cancer cases and 11 906 rectum cancer cases were included in analysis, 5-year OS rates for colon cancer and rectum cancer were 48.84% and 51.65%, RS rates were 70.50% and 71.31%. Signiifcant difference in survival had been found among the various diagnostic stages, the survival rate in stageⅠ was much higher than those in stageⅢ and stageⅣ. The survival of colorectal cancer patients with different gender, age, tumor histological and residential areas were also found with differences, female was higher than male, age ranged from >44-54 years had the highest survival rates than other age groups. The survival of epithelial tumors was higher than other histologic types in colon cancer, and the survival of non-epithelial tumors was higher than other histologic types in rectum cancer. Over the past 3 decades, the 5-year OS increased dramatically in Shanghai. Conclusion:The level of survival of colorectal cancer in Shanghai is similar with it in developed counties. Colorectal cancer survival rate with different population characteristics may provide suggestions and evidence for further improvement of early screening, diagnosis and treatment.

Background and purpose:Incidence and mortality of gastric cancer have increased gradually in China. Population-based cancer survival rate can relfect improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as provide evidence for gastric cancer prevention and control.Methods:Data from gastric cancer incidence and follow-up between 2002 and 2006 were collected by the Shanghai Cancer Registry. Life table and EdererⅡ were used to calculate observed survival (OS) and relative survival (RS).Results:A total number of 28 243 gastric cancer cases were documented between 2002 and 2006 in Shanghai. The 5-year OS and RS of gastric cancer were 32.15% and 45.81%, respectively. Survival rates of gastric cancer varied by age, residence, diagnostic stage, and tumor histological type, but not by gender. Patients aged 35-44 years who were diagnosed at stageⅠ or with tubular adenocarcinoma, had the highest survival rates. Moreover, patients in rural areas had higher 5-year OS than those in urban areas. During the period 2002-2006,both 5-year OS and RS of gastric cancer increased dramatically, as compared with 1972-1976. Conclusion:Survival rates of gastric cancer varied by age, residence, diagnostic stage, and tumor histological type. The 5-year OS and RS signiifcantly increased in Shanghai over the past three decades, but are still far below developed countries. Early diagnosis of gastric cancer would be an effective strategy to improve survival and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

Background and purpose:Head and neck cancer is common worldwide. This article aimed to describe the patterns of incidence of head and neck cancer and their changes in Shanghai from 2003 to 2012, in order to provide reference for prevention programs, research and control strategies on cancer.Methods:The data of lip, oral cavity and pharynx cancer cases were collected by the Shanghai Cancer Registry. The distributions of Shanghai lip, oral cavity and pharynx cancer incidences from 2003 to 2012 were described. The patterns were described according to gender, age, basis of diagnosis, histological type, diagnostic stage in detail. We compared incidences of recent 5 years (from 2008 to 2012) with those of previous 5 years (from 2003 to 2007).Results:On average from 2003 to 2012, 1105 new cases of head and neck cancer were diagnosed in Shanghai each year, with 2.08% among the total cancer cases. The crude rate was 8.01 per 100000 and the age-standardized rate was 4.45 per 100000. Nasopharyngeal cancer was the major subtype of the head and neck cancer, with 50.81% among the total head and neck cases. The crude and age-standardized rates among males were higher than those among females. The histologically verified percentage was 85.77%. The squamous carcinoma was the major histological type, with 57.58% among the total cases. The age-stan-dardized rate of nasopharyngeal cancer was in decline.Conclusion:The incidence of head and neck cancer was low in Shanghai during the past 10 years. Male cases were more than female cases. The major histological type was squamous carcinoma. Half of new cases were nasopharyngeal cancer which appeared to affect patients at a relatively young age. Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer were diagnosed at relatively advanced stages.

Objective To observe the effects of buccal green tea ice on preventing and controlling radioactive oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods In this single-blind quasi-experiment, totally 160 patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma by histopathology or cytology and treated in the Department of Oncology, Taizhou People's Hospital from April 2014 to April 2018 were selected by convenient sampling and randomized into control (n=41), buccal ice (n=40), green tea mouthwash (n=40) and buccal green ice tea (n=39) groups. Since radiotherapy, patients in the control group received conventional nursing care; patients in the buccal ice group received buccal ice;patients in the green tea mouthwash group received green tea mouthwash; and patients in the buccal green tea ice group received buccal green tea ice. The incidence of oral mucosa response and pain grading were compared among the four groups. Results The incidence rates of oral mucosa response after radiotherapy were 85.37%, 97.50%, 92.50% and 79.49% in control, buccal ice, green tea mouthwash and buccal green ice tea groups. The incidence rates of oral mucosa response 1 week after radiotherapy were 100.00%, 72.50%, 77.50% and 66.67% in control, buccal ice, green tea mouthwash and buccal green ice tea groups and there was statistically significant difference between the four groups (P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference in the pain levels 1 week after radiotherapy between the four groups (P<0.05). Totally 41 cases (100.0%) in the control group, 35 (87.5%) in the ice group, 39 (97.5%) in the green tea group and 26 (66.7%) in the buccal green tea ice group suffered pain 1 week after radiotherapy. Conclusions Buccal green tea ice can effectively alleviate the severity of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, reduce their pain, ameliorate their clinical symptoms, and prevent radioactive oral mucositis caused by nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
