1.Developments in chemotherapy for patients with advanced colorectal cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2006;0(09):-
Surgical resection has been accepted as a radical therapy for patients with colorectal cancer, but most of them will develop regional recurrence or distant metastasis. With the development and improvement of novel drugs and methods, they will bring survival hope to patients. In this article, we review the developments in chemotherapy for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Cardiovascular disease is a severe threat to human health and life. Among many risk factors of cardiovascular disease, genetic or gene-based ones are drawing more and more attention in recent years. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that the loss or mutation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene can result in DNA damage repair dysfunctions, telomere shortening, decreased antioxidant capacity, insulin resistance, increased lipid levels, etc., and thus can promote the occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors, such as aging, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. In this review, we discusses the possible mechanisms between ATM gene and cardiovascular risk factors, which could be helpful to the related research and clinical application.

Through field observation and in -depth interviews of H County , analyzed about the present multidi-mensional situation between patient and physician .This paper discussed villager autonomy environment barriers and village village system build trust between patient and physician′s interpersonal trust between patient and physician′s unique features , further improve the village of doctor -patient trust countermeasures and suggestions: strengthen the village doctor training;To strengthen the village doctor in performance appraisal of public welfare goal , consoli-date the village-level emotional trust between patient and physician; Establish differential income compensation mechanism , arouse the enthusiasm of the village doctor service , and improve the level of village -level doctor-pa-tient trust .

Objective:To compare the similarities and differences of doctor -patient trust building mechanism between doctors in urban and rural areas from the perspective of rural residents by the empirical study .Methods:Based on the field research and secondary in -depth interviews to the related personnel in H County of Beijing .Re-sults:There had obvious difference of doctor -patient trust building mechanism between doctors in urban and rural areas from the perspective of rural residents .Trust building mechanism between village doctors were mainly the trust of the similar social background , between the doctors in township health centers and city hospital were the trust based on reputation , institution-based trust , and relationship-based trust .Conclusion:The difference of re-gional and cultural between urban and rural areas ,the nature of medical institutions the relationship with doctors , reputation of medical institution and medical and health care system in urban and rural areas ,maybe the reasons that The difference of doctor -patient trust building mechanism between doctors in urban and rural areas .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA-HOTAIR in prostate cancer cells and its effects on the growth and metastasis of the cells.
METHODSUsing quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), we determined the relative expression of HOTAIR in the normal human prostate epithelial cell line RWPE-I and prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and DU145. We detected the effects of HOTAIR on the cell cycle and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells by RNA interference, flow cytometry, and Transwell mitration assay.
RESULTSThe expressions of HOTAIR in the PC3 and DU145 cells were increased 3.2 and 5.7 times, respectively, as compared with that in the normal RWPE-1 cells. After si-HOTAIR interference, the prostate cancer cells were arrested in the G2 phase and downregulated in the G1 phase. The invasive ability of the prostate cancer cells was evidently inhibited, with the inhibition rates of 32% and 44% of the PC3 cells and 43% and 34% of the DU145 cells for si-HOTAIR1 and si-HOTAIR2, respectively.
CONCLUSIONIncRNA HOTAIR is highly expressed in prostate cancer, which is associated with the growth and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. HOTAIR is potentially a novel marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer.
