2.Cell cycle and tumor translational medicine
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(1):1-7
Dysregulated cell cycle-mediated cell transformation and uncontrolled cell growth are some of the fundamental biolog-ical features of malignant tumors. Thus, understanding the mechanism(s) involved in the cell cycle will facilitate the discovery of the na-ture of tumor initiation and progression as well as the molecular mechanism of tumor malignancy. Consequently, biomarkers and drug targets for early diagnosis and treatment would be obtained. This study was designed to analyze in detail the key regulators of cell cycle and their importance in carcinogenesis and clinical prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and anti-cancer drug discovery. The biological impact of the dysregulated cell cycle on tumor occurrence and malignancy development is systematically described. The theoretical and practical significance of the cell cycle regulation in tumor diagnosis and therapy are also provided.

Objective To investigate plasma homocystein (Hcy) level in cardiac transplant patients.Methods Fourteen cases of heart transplant patients were recruited in this study. Plasma Hcy levels were measured by using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and flow-mediated dilatation in brachial arteries detected with high-resolution ultrasound in all patients, while coronary artery angiography were performed in 7 patients.Results In 2 cases of heart transplant who had single coronary artery stenosis, the plasma Hcy levels were above 12 ?mol/L. The average plasma Hcy levels in heart transplant patients were higher than in health volunteers [( 13.47? 2.78) ?mol/L vs (9.26? 3.57) ?mol/L], and flow-mediated dilatation in brachial arteries of heart transplant patients was lower than that of health volunteers [( 8.2? 3.7) % vs ( 12.5? 1.6) %]. There was a linear correlation between levels of plasma Hcy and flow-mediated dilatation (r= -0.804). Conclusion Endothelial dysfunction in the heart transplant patents might be contributed to hyperhomocysteinemia which may be potential cause of transplant coronary artery disease.
