Background and purpose: Unbalance of apoptosis regulation plays an important role in tumor initiation and progression. Survivin and caspase-3 all take part in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. The expressions of survivin and caspase-3 were detected in the tissues of gastric cancer to explore their association with the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. Methods: The expressions of survivin and caspase-3 in 79 cases of gastric cancer and 30 cases of adjacent were detected by using reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Results: The expressions of survivin mRNA and caspase-3 mRNA were significantly related with the depth of invasion, lymph-node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05). The expressions of survivin mRNA and caspase-3 mRNA had significantly differences in gastric cancer (P<0.01). Conclusion: Survivin and caspase-3 are both important factors that cause tumorigenesis of gastric cancer, while survivin may promote the progression of gastric cancer through inhibiting the expression of caspase-3.

Objective To investigate the preventive effects of aspirin on liver metastases of colorectal cancer in mice and study the mechanisms.Methods Twenty BALB/c mice were divided into the control group and the experimental group according to the random number table with 10 mice in each group.Mice in the control group were fed with saline each day at a concentration of 0.2 mL/d for 60 days,while mice in the aspirin group were fed with aspirin each day at a concentration of 30 μg/(g · d) for 60 days.Then C26 colon cancer cells were injected into the spleen and then the spleen was cut to establish mice model of colon cancer liver metastasis.The C26 colon cancer cells were divided into 2 groups.C26 colon cancer cells in the control group remained untreated,and C26 colon cancer cells in the experimental group were treated with aspirin at a concentration of 10 mmol/L for 24 hours.The scratches and transwell assays were conducted to observe the effects of aspirin on the invasion and metastasis of C26 colon cancer cells.The expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot.All data were analyzed using the Student t test.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival analysis was done by Log-rank test.Results The numbers and weights of hepatic metastatic tumors were 4.8 ± 1.9 and (504 ± 107) mg in the control group and 2.6 ± 1.6 and (362 ± 67) mg in the experimental group,with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =2.840,3.584,P ＜ 0.05).The 1-month survival rate was 80％ in the experimental group,which was significantly higher than 40％ of the control group (x2=4.418,P ＜ 0.05).The results of pathological examination showed that tumor cell heteromorphism was reduced by aspirin.The results of scratches experiment showed an obvious migration of C26 colon cancer cells in the control group at 24 hours later,while no C26 colon cancer cells migrated in the experimental group.The numbers of C26 colon cancer cells penetrated the Watrige were 253 ± 21 in the control group and 148 ± 13 in the experimental group,with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =5.101,P ＜0.05).The relative mRNA expression of the E-cadherin and the Vimentin were 0.002 ±0.001 and 1.005 ±0.286 in the control group and 0.005 ± 0.001 and 0.270 ± 0.168 in the experimental group,with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-4.606,4.942,P ＜ 0.05).The relative protein expressions of the E-cadherin and the Vimentin were 0.473 ±0.179 and 0.787 ± 0.118 in the control group and 1.585 ± 0.410 and 0.280 ± 0.133 in the experimental group,with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-5.542,6.355,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Aspirin inhibits liver metastasis of colon cancer and promote the survival ratio of mice.Aspirin can up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin and down-regulate the expression of Vimentin,which inhibits EMT and reduces the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine postconditioning on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats.Methods Fifty male Spragne-Dawley rats,aged 7-8 weeks,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),LPS group and postconditioning with 3 different doses of dexmedetomidine groups (LD,MD and HD groups).ALI was induced with LPS 8 mg/kg injected via the caudal vein in LPS,LD,MD and HD groups.Dexmedetomidine 5,10 and 15 μg/kg were injected intraperitoneally in LD,MD and HD groups,respectively,at 1 h after LPS injection.The equal volume of normal saline was injected intraperitoneally in C and L groups.Blood samples were taken from the left ventricle at 6 h after dexmedetomidine administration,then the animals were sacrificed and broncheoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected.The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in plasma and BALF were detected by ELISA.The lungs were removed for microscopic examination of pathological changes and for determination of wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio and expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA (by RT-PCR) in lung tissues.Results Compared with group C,W/D ratio,pathological scores,and the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in plasma and BALF were significantly increased,and the expression of TLR4 mRNA was up-regulated in LPS,LD,MD and HD groups.Compared with LPS and LD groups,W/D ratio,pathological scores,and the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in plasma and BALF were significantly decreased,and the expression of TLR4 mRNA was down-regulated in MD and HD groups.There was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between LPS and LD groups,and between MD and HD groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine postconditioning can alleviate ALI induced by LPS in rats,and up-regulated TLR4 mRNA expression and reduced inflammatory responses may be involved in the mechanism.
