Practical Oncology Journal 2014;(5):456-459
The pathogenesis of malignant lymphoma has been an important topic in tumor research ,but it is still unclear.Recent clinical studies showed that the expression level of Toll -like receptor 4(TLR4)was signif-icantly high in mantle cell lymphoma tissue and a variety of lymphoma cell lines .At the same time,the TLR4 ex-pression level was correlated with prognosis .The Role of TLR4 in malignant lymphoma for occurrence and devel-opment is reviewed in this article ,which may elucidate the pathogenesis and provide a new basis for the therapy of lymphoma.
3.Basal-like breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(5):377-380
Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is a basal cell phenotype and associated with different levels of expression in basal cell keratin and (or) myoepithelial markers in breast cancer,which has a unique genetic phenotype and morphological characteristics.BLBC is prevalent in young woman,and it is easy to relapse and metastasis. Additionally,most BLBC has expression loss of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2,which limits the targeted therapeutic options for these predominantly triple-negative breast cancers.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different degrees of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) on intrapulmonary shunting, oxygen delivery and consumption during one-lung ventilation(OLV) in dogs. Methods Twelve healthy mongrel dogs weighing 18-22 kg were anesthetized with Ⅳ pentobarbital sodium 20mg.kg-1, scopolamine 0.3 mg and pancuronium 0.2 mg. kg-1 and intubated with a left-sided Carlen' s tube. Correct positioning of the tube was verified by auscultation and by visual inspection after thoracotomy at the end of the experiment. The dogs were mechanically ventilated with 100% oxygen. PET CO2 was maintained between 4.67-6.00 kPa. ECG and rectal temperature were continuously monitored. An intravenous line was established for infusion of Lacted Ringer solution. SwanGanz catheter was inserted via femoral vein on one side for sampling of mixed venous blood and measurement of cardiac output (CO) by hemodilution technique and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP).Femoral artery on the other side was cannulated for measurement of mean arterial pressure(MAP) and arterial blood sampling. The body temperature was maintained between 35℃-39℃ during the experiment.Four degrees of ANH were achieved by blood withdrawal and replacement with an equal volume of gelofusin step by step: HD1 (Hct 35%), HD2 (Hct 25%), HD3 (15%) and HD4(7%-8%). The volume of blood to be removed was based upon the patients' estimated blood volume [EBV = body weight (kg) ×7% ], the beginning Hct(Hct0) and the target Hct (Hctt) V = EBV × (Hct0-Hctt)/Hctav. During each degree of hemodilution(HD) two lungs were ventilated(TLV) first followed by one-lung ventilation(OLV)Each ventilation condition was maintained for at least 15 min, then hemodynamics was measured and blood gas analysis including blood concentration of lactate of both arterial blood and mixed venous blood was performed, then Qs/Qt, oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen consumption(VO2) were calculated. Results With increasing hemodilution, MAP, pulmonary vaseular resistance(PVR), mean pulmonary arterialpressure(MPAP), PO2 and DO2 had a tendency to decrease, While oxygen extraction ratio(ERO2 ), blood lactate and Qs/Qt tended to increase. There were DO2-dependent VO2 and anaerobic metabolism during HD3 and HD4. PVR and MPAP increased significantly when one lung was being ventilated before HD and during HD1 and HD2 . During HD3 and HD4 there was little difference in PVR and MPAP between OLV and TLV. Qs/Qt increased by 74% (HD2), 164% (HD3) and 177% (HD4) during OLV. Conclusions The results show that both ANH and OLV can affect Qs/Qt and oxygenation. The degree of ANH should be limited to Hct 25 % during OLV.consumpation

Objective:To study the vaccine potency of gene-modified tumor cells. Methods:The EL-4 lymphoma was transduced with recombinant retrovirus containing the murine B7-1 gene. The effect of gene transduction on antitumor immunity was investigated.Results:The appearance, growth rate and surface marker of MHCⅠand MHCⅡ molecules of EL-4 cells transduced with B7-1 gene were the same with control cells except for CD80 positive in B7-1 gene transduced cells. B7-1 gene transduced EL-4 cells resulted in remarkable loss of tumorigenicity in syngenetic mice. EL-4/B7-1 cells could induce system protective immunity. Therapeutic vaccine of EL-4/B7-1 cells could retard the growth of established early-stage EL-4/Wt tumor significantly, but not retard the growth of late-stage EL-4/Wt tumor. Irradiated EL-4/B7-1 vaccine showed weak effect against challenged EL-4 cells.Conclusion:B7-1 gene transduced EL-4 cells can induce system protective immunity. It suggested that this vaccine have a potential application value in human cancer treatment.

Tumors represent one of the primary threats to human life, with the dissemination of malignant tumors being a leading cause of mortality among cancer patients. Early diagnosis of tumors can reliably predict their progression, significantly reducing mortality rates. Tumor markers, including circulating tumor cells, exosomes, proteins, circulating tumor DNA, miRNAs and so on, generated during the tumor development process, have emerged as effective approach for early tumor diagnosis. Several methods are currently employed to detect tumor markers, such as polymerase chain reaction, Northern blotting, next-generation sequencing, flow cytometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. However, these methods often suffer from time-consuming process, high costs, low sensitivity, and the requirement for specialized personnel. Therefore, a new rapid, sensitive, and specific tumor detection method is urgently needed.The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system, originating from the adaptive immune system of bacteria, has found extensive applications in gene editing and nucleic acid detection. Based on the structure and function of Cas proteins, the CRISPR/Cas system can be classified into two classes and six types. Class I systems consist of multiple Cas protein complexes, including types I, III, and IV, while Class II systems comprise single, multi-domain Cas proteins mediated by RNA, including types II (Cas9), V (Cas12), and VI (Cas13). Class II systems have been widely employed in the fields of biotechnology and nucleic acid diagnostics due to their efficient target binding and programmable RNA specificity. Currently, fluorescence method is the most common signal output technique in CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors. However, this method often requires the integration of signal amplification technologies to enhance sensitivity and involves expensive and complex fluorescence detectors. To enhance the detection performance of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors, the integration of CRISPR/Cas with some alternative techniques can be considered. The CRISPR/Cas integrated electrochemical sensor (E-CRISPR) possesses advantages such as miniaturization, high sensitivity, high specificity, and fast response speed.E-CRISPR can convert the reactions between biomolecules and detecting components into electrical signals, rendering the detection signals more easily readable and reducing the impact of background values. Therefore,E-CRISPR enhances the accuracy of detection results. E-CRISPR has been applied in various fields, including medical and health, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Furthermore, E-CRISPR holds tremendous potential for advancing the detection levels of tumor markers.Among all types of Cas enzymes, the three most widely applied are Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13, along with their respective subtypes. In this work, we provided a brief overview of the principles and characteristics of Class II CRISPR/Cas single-effector proteins. This paper focused on the various detection technologies based on E-CRISPR technique, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, voltammetry, photoelectrochemistry, and electrochemiluminescence. We also emphasized the applications of E-CRISPR in the field of tumor diagnosis, which mainly encompasses the detection of three typical tumor markers (ctDNA, miRNA, and proteins). Finally, we discussed the advantages and limitations of E-CRISPR, current challenges, and future development prospects. In summary, althoughE-CRISPR platform has made significant strides in tumor detection, certain challenges still need to be overcome for their widespread clinical application. Continuous optimization of the E-CRISPR platform holds the promise of achieving more accurate tumor subtyping diagnoses in clinical settings, which would be of significant importance for early patient diagnosis and prognosis assessment.
