1.Advances on immunohistochemistry and genetical detection in diagnosis of synovial sarcoma
China Oncology 2006;0(07):-
Synovial sarcoma(SS) is a common soft tissue tumor,which origin hasn’t been confirmed. With different morphology and various differentiation, SS is likely to be confused with other soft tissue tumors.Therefore,the rate of misdiagnosis is very high.It is very diffi cult to diagnose SS just relying on symptom,sign,imaging and so on. The article mainly reviews the advances on immunohistochemistry and genetical detection in diagnosis of SS.
2.Advances on the study of sentinel lymph node in gastric cancer
China Oncology 2006;0(09):-
Sentinel lymph node(SLN) is prevalently studied in breast cancer and malignant melanoma as well as being applied in clinical practice.Currently,the study on sentinel lymph node of gastric cancer has gradually been a vital component in the study of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.Sentinel lymph node examination is feasibly applied in clinical T1N0M0 stage gastric cancer or early gastric cancer because of its high accuracy and sensibility.However,the sentinel lymph node examination is not suitable for advanced gastric cancer due to low sensibility and high false negative rate.The article mainly reviewed the advances on SLN tracer,application,micrometastasis,imaging system and so on in gastric cancer.

Objective To encode the protein cystatin M with CST6 gene and construct a CST6-overexpression vector,and transfect it into the gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 in order to observe the effect of cystatin M on the proliferation and migration abilities of SGC-7901 cells.Methods There were three groups in the experiment:pcDNA3.1(+)-CST6 group,pcDNA3.1 (+)group and non-transfected group.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to identify the RNA expression of CST6 in SGC-7901/CST6 cells.The proliferation and migration abilities of the transfected cells were detected by MTT and cell wound healing assay,respectively.Results SGC-7901/CST6 cells stably expressed CST6 gene RNA and cystatin M protein.The proliferation and migration of pcDNA3 .1 (+)-CST6 group cells were reduced compared with those of cells in the other two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Cystatin M can inhibit the proliferation and migration of SGC-7901 cells.

The objective of this study was to develop a method for the determination of taxol injection using near infrared transmission spectroscopy, turning out redetermination for injection from hospital pharmacy before using. Near infrared spectra (NIR) in the range of 12 000 approximation 4 000cm(-1) were recorded for the taxol injection manufactured during recent 24 months with different time. Calibration models were established using the partial least squares (PLS). Comparing different spectra pretreatments methods, dimension and spectra range, The study showed that spectra information cab be extracted thoroughly by delete a line method with dimension 6, spectra range 9002.5 approximately 4597.7cm(-1) ,standard error of the calibration sets(SEC) 0.035 and standard error of the prediction sets(SEP) 0. 059. Percent of prediction sets sample is less than +/- 2%. Results indicate that near infrared transmission spectroscopy method can be used to rapidly analyze the frequent and important drugs from hospital pharmacy.

Purpose:
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) plays a critical role in cancer progression involving in tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. This study clarified the role of FGFR4-Arg388 variant in gastric cancer (GC), and more importantly highlighted the possibility of this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as potential therapeutic targets.
Materials and Methods:
FGFR4 polymorphism was characterized in advanced GC patients to perform statistical analysis. FGFR4-dependent signal pathways involving cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and resistance to oxaliplatin (OXA) in accordance with the SNP were also assessed in transfected GC cell lines.
Results:
Among 102 GC patients, the FGFR4-Arg388 patients showed significantly higher tumor stage (p=0.047) and worse overall survival (p=0.033) than the Gly388 patients. Immunohistochemical results showed that FGFR4-Arg388 patients were more likely to have higher vimentin (p=0.025) and p-STAT3 (p=0.009) expression compared with FGFR4-Gly388 patients. In transfected GC cells, the overexpression of FGFR4-Arg388 variant increased proliferation and invasion of GC cells, increasing resistance of GC cells to OXA compared with cells overexpressing the Gly388 allele.
Conclusion
The exploration mechanism may be through FGFR4-Arg388/STAT3/epithelial to mesenchymal transition axis regulating pivotal oncogenic properties of GC cells. The FGFR4-Arg388 variant may be a biomarker and a candidate target for adjuvant treatment of GC.

Objective:To investigate dyslipidemia and relevant factors of AIDS patients in general hospital.Methods:From April 2017 to January 2018, 306 AIDS patients seen in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) were included, their general information such as demographic characteristics, underlying diseases, regimens for treatment and duration of antiretroviral therapy were recorded and dietary conditions were evaluated. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Internal Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were adopted for the investigation.Results:Of the 306 patients, 179 had dyslipidemia. Univariate analysis suggested that singlehood, higher age and body mass index (BMI), proteinase inhibitor (PI) and non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) contained antiretroviral therapy (ART) (especially the former) were relevant risk factors. After multivariable analysis, higher age and BMI, high fat diet, high baseline CD4 counting and longer course of disease were related with dyslipidemia, whereas female and higher activity level may be associated with little benefit.Conclusions:Dyslipidemia was more common in AIDS patients than in general population, which were mainly due to the disease itself and ART regimens. Those patients were middle-aged or older, with high baseline CD4 counting, treated with PI and whose course of disease was more than two years should reserve more attention.
