This study was aimed to provide references for techniques in future application of traditional and natural drugs for tumor prevention and treatment. Domestic and foreign literatures on applications of gene chip technology in antitumor studies with natural and traditional medicine from 2000 to 2014 were reviewed. Corresponding database was established from aspects of published articles, drug intervention types, study fields, sample sources, chip technology platforms, repeatability of gene chip experiments, criteria of differential genes, and validation of gene chip experiments. Application experiences of gene chip in antitumor natural and traditional drugs were summarized. Shortcomings of gene chip technology application were analyzed deeply. The results showed that experimental gene screening was limited at the cellular level. More attentions should be paid to experiments at the animal and clinical levels. Scholars had paid more attention to expression level of mRNA and less attention to gene regulation level and epigenetic research of microRNA chip and DNA methylation chip. Gene chip experiments were lack of repeatability, which directly affected the evaluation results of difference gene and reduced reliability of gene screening. Screening results of genes should be verified not only at the mRNA level, but also increased at the protein level. It was concluded that gene chip was one of the most mature technologies to detect the level of gene expression, which was widely used in the research field of traditional and natural antitumor drug studies. Researchers should try to avoid deficiencies mentioned above in experiments related to gene chip technology.

Objective To establish the MCF-7 cell models of Beclin 1 over-and low-expressions,and to detect the autophagic and apoptotic changes after 4 Gy irradiation,and to explore their molecular regulation mechanisms. Methods MCF-7,MCF-7 + 4Gy,MCF-7-Beclin 1 + 4Gy and MCF-7-Belcin 1 RNAi+ 4Gy groups were set up. Molecular biology method was used to construct Beclin 1 over-expression vector pcDNA3.1-Beclin 1,and to estabilish the Beclin 1 over- and low-expression cell models.After the cells were irradiated with 4 Gy, the autopahgic cell percentages were measured by fluorescence microscope with MDC staining, the apoptotic cell percentages were measured by FCM with AnnexinⅤ-FITC and PI staining,and the expressions of Beclin1,P53, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were measured by Western blotting method.Results Compared with MCF-7 group,the autophagic and apoptotic cell percentages in MCF-7+4 Gy,MCF-7 Beclin 1 +4 Gy and MCF-7-Beclin 1 RNAi+4 Gy groups were significantly increased (P <0.05 or P <0.001 ),especially in MCF-7 Beclin 1+4 Gy group which was significantly higher than those in MCF-7 + 4 Gy (P < 0.05);while there was significant difference in the necrotic cell percentages between various groups. After 4 Gy irradiation, compared with MCF-7 group, the expression levels of Beclin 1,P53 and Bax proteins in MCF-7 + 4 Gy and MCF-7-Beclin 1 + 4 Gy groups were increased,but the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were decreased,especially in MCF-7-Beclin 1 + 4 Gy group. Conclusion The MCF-7 cell models of Beclin 1 over-and low-expressions are successfully established,and ionizing radiation could induce the autophagy and apoptosis of MCF-7 cells,which is more obvious in Beclin 1 over-expression MCF-7 cells.Beclin 1 can activate P53,inhibit Bcl-2 and activate Bax,which forms the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis by P53 .

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for detecting tumor on physical examination people with unexplained elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Methods A total of 100 physical examination people with unexplained elevated serum levels of CEA in our hospital from June 2010 to December 2014 were involved in the study. All the people were detected with 18F-FDG PET/CT. The pathology, clinical follow ups and conventional medical imaging results were combined to evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing tumor. The doubling time (DT) of CEA was calculated in the patients who were received more than twice of serum CEA detection. The relationships between serum CEA levels, CEA DT and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic efficiency of serum CEA. Results Twenty-seven patients were confirmed with malignant tumor, and the rest of 73 cases were excluded. The 18F-FDG PET/CT reported one false positive and one false negative respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing malignant tumors were 96.3%, 98.6%, 98.0%, 96.3% and 98.6% respectively. The median serum CEA levels were significantly higher in the positive 18F-FDG PET/CT patients than those in the negative patients (Z=5.796, P<0.05). The prevalence of 18F-FDG PET/CT positive patients was higher with an increase in absolute CEA levels (χ2=37.823, P<0.05). The median DT of serum CEA levels was shorter in the positive 18F-FDG PET/CT patients than that in the negative patients (Z=4.301,P<0.05). The positive rates of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with 0 d
