2.Advances in the treatment of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(9):705-707
As recent researches suggested,the continuous infusion and novel targeted medicines have been expected to improve the outcome of patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.Nevertheless,it does not improve the curative effect by increasingly intensive dosage.Patients with aggressive T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have present better prognosis recently,which is attributed to better efficacy of the modified regimens in patients with NK/T cell lymphoma.Multiple genetic abnormalities are implicated in poorer prognosis in patients with aggressive T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.Non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation and new targeted drugs have improved the curative effects.Radiotherapy with modern technology also is expected to become an important means to improve outcomes of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Streptomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria of Actinomycetales. These organisms can produce many economically important secondary metabolites. With the development of molecular biology, gene sequencing technology and synthetic biology, people gained a better understanding of the Streptomyces family. The means to transform genome on the molecular level is also increasing. By simplifying the Streptomyces genome rationally and efficiently, it will improve the yield and quality of the metabolites as well as reduce the consumption of the substrates. Markerless knockout is an important way to carry out genetic modification. Here we describe novel genome modification techniques developed for Streptomyces in recent years with focus on the markerless knockout technologies.

Objective To investigate the relationship between p53,COX-2,Bax,c-myc genes and colorectal carcinoma complicated with chronic schistosomiasis. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with colorectal carcinoma were selected and divided into two groups;a schistosomiasis group(colorectal carcinoma complicated with chronic schistosomiasis,n=80)and a non-schistosomiasis group(colorectal carcinoma uncomplicated with chronic schistosomiasis,n=80). The tissue microarray tech-niques and immunohistochemistry method were used in all the patients to detect the expressions of p53,COX-2,Bax and c-myc proteins. Results The positive rate and level of p53 protein expression in the schistosomiasis group were lower than those in the non-schistosomiasis group,but there were no significant differences between the two groups(both P>0.05). The COX-2 protein in both groups was positive,but the positive expression level of COX-2 in the schistosomiasis group was higher than that in the non-schistosomiasis group,and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.01). The positive rate and level of Bax protein expression were not significantly different between the two groups(both P>0.05). The positive rate of c-myc expression in the schistosomiasis group was higher than that in the non-schistosomiasis group,with a significant difference(P<0.01),but the positive expression level was lower than that in the non-schistosomiasis group,and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.01). Conclusions Schistosome infection may impact on the deficiency of p53 of human colorectal cancer cells. It may promote the excessive expression of COX-2 protein,which is an indirect carcinogenic factor. The expression of Bax gene has no correlation with schistosome infection. The schistosome chronic infection may cause a persistent low level expression of c-myc gene.
