Objective:This study aimed to observe the curative effect and adverse reaction of docetaxel combined with intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy and hyperthermia treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Methods:A total of 83 patients with inoperable and recurrent advanced ovarian cancer were randomly divided into two groups:hyperthermia group and control group. The hyperthermia group consisted of 42 cases of docetaxel chemotherapy immediately treated with intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy combined with abdominal local hyperthermia. The control group included 41 cases of docetaxel chemotherapy and intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy treatment only. Results:The total efficiencies of the hyperthermia treatment group and the control group were 81%and 58.1%, respectively, which showed that the total efficiency significantly improved (P<0.05). The ascite control rates were 78.3%and 66.7%and CA125 decreased by 84.2%and 61.5%for the hyperthermia and control groups, respectively. The main adverse reactions were gastrointestinal reaction and bone marrow suppression. However, differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion:Docetaxel combined with cisplatin intraperitoneal perfusion hyperthermia significantly improved the curative effect on advanced ovarian cancer without increasing toxicity, which indicates that it is a treatment worth popularizing.

Hepatocellular carcinoma has a high morbidity and mortality, which has seriously harmed human health. Several targeted therapies have been approved for the first- and second-line treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The emergence of immunotherapy has brought the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma into a new era. Targeted and immunotherapeutic agents have synergistic effects in mechanism, also the combination of these two therapies has been clinically beneficial to patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. At the same time, in addition to the systemic therapy of targeted combined immunological, applying appropriate local therapy can provide a longer survival period or even a chance of cure for that some patients. The authors introduce the diagnosis and treatment of a case of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who achieved pathological complete remission by first-line immunotherapy combined with anti-angiogenesis targeted therapy.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ELMOD2 over-expression on the malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer MGC803 cells, and to study its related molecular mechanism. Methods: GV141-ELMOD2 expression vector was transfected into human gastric cancer MGC803 cells. The mRNA and protein expressions of ELMOD2 were detected by Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and WB, respectively. The cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8 method. Apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The cell migration ability was detected by Transwell method. The protein expressions of PCNA, BAX and Bcl-2 and Vimentin were detected by WB. Results:After transfection of ELMOD2 expression vector, the mRNAand protein expressions of ELMOD2 were significantly increased in MGC803 cells (P<0.05). Further studies showed that over-expression of ELMOD2 increased the proliferation and migration ability but reduced the apoptosis rate of MGC803 cells significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The protein levels of PCNA, Vimentin and Bcl-2 in MGC803 cells increased, while the protein level of BAX decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Over-expression of ELMOD2 can promote the proliferation and migration of MGC803 cells and inhibit cell apoptosis. These effects may be achieved by increasing the protein level of PCNA, Vimentin and Bcl-2, and reducing the protein level of BAX.
