It has been indicated that the oncogene and anti-oncogene are closely related to the development and progression of cancer.With the development of molecular biology,detection of oncogene and anti-oncogene has become an important approach for clinical warning and diagnosing of cancer.Since the establishment of the molecular model of colon cancer by Fearon and Vogelstein in 1990,the genetics of colorectal cancer has gained major advances in early diagnosis.Early detection of related gene mutations is helpful for the early warning of colorectal cancer,especially for palients with hereditary cancer(the detection rate is fairly high).This review summarizes the progression of study on biomarkers of colorectal cancer.

To study the effect of different storage conditions and storage time on herb quality of Lonicera macranthoides, different packaging materials including vacuum plastic bags, plastic bags, woven bags, sealed with endometrial bags, paper bags, sack bags were selected for the study under different storage conditions including room temperature, 5 degrees C refrigerator, low temperature of - 20 degrees C refrigerator and desiccator. Twenty-four batches of samples were used for the study, and active ingredients were determined. The experimental results showed that the ingredients in each storage group changed with the storage time, storage conditions (storage environment, packaging). Under the same storage time, the storage environment (temperature, humidity) had effect on the stability of herb quality. Low temperature had less effect on herb quality. The effect of packaging on herb quality was as following: plastic vacuum packaging > woven with endometrial sealed packaging > plastic bag > woven bag > sack bags > paper bags. Under the same storage conditions, with the increase of storage time, caffeic acid content increased slowly, and other five ingredients content decreased gradually. Storage time affected significantly on the intrinsic quality (chemical composition) and appearance of herb. It is suggested that low temperature (5 degrees C), dark and sealed storage are suitable for storage of L. macranthoides herb, the storage time should be not more than 24 months.

Lymph node dissection was the key procedure of pancreatic surgery.The majority of guidelines indicated that extended lymph node dissection was helpless for improving survival rate.However,there were still quite a few researches which demonstrated that the extended dissection was a valuable procedure.It was still a controversial topic considering lymph node dissection.To review the shortcomings of previous randomized controlled trials (RCT),this article combined the experience of new techniques in pancreatic surgery,which are developing rapidly in recent years,and our theory and practice of radical resection of retroperitoneal lipo-lymphatic layer (RRRLLL).Therefore,the controversy and update of extended lymph node dissection for pancreatic head carcinoma were discussed,which could provide references for standardizing the treatment of extended lymph node dissection in clinical practice.

Objective To analyze diagnostic experience of children with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) and assess its surgical results.Methods Six children with ALCAPA had been diagnosed in our hospital from Mar. 2006 to Oct.2007 aged from 6 months to 10 years old(median 43.5 months).The medical data included common clinical presentations,the findings of electrocardiogram(ECG),the echocardiogram,ECG-gated 64-slice computed tomography,the digital subtraction angiogram (DSA),surgical records and the outcome.Results Diaphoresis,fantod,breathlessness and difficult feeding were commonly presented in 5 cases ALCAPA and the 5 children presented with left ventricular failure in infancy.The predominant ECG findings were Q waves and ST segment changes in the anterolateral chest leads in 4 cases,ST changes in 1 case,and normal ECG in 1 case.Cross-sectional echocardiography showed dilated left ventricles with poor contractility in 4 cases,medium mitral regurgitation in 2 cases and severe mitral regurgitation in 2 cases,aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary artery(RCA) in 2 cases.CT and DSA examinations showed characteristic changes in these children.The surgical reestablishment of a two-coronary system was performed in 5 cases,direct reimplantation in 2 cases and creation of an autologous extrapulmonary tunnel in 3 cases.Simultaneous mitral annuloplasty was performed in 2 cases.After operation,the symptoms of 5 cases were all improved and none died.Conclusions Understanding the clinical manifestations and lab findings of ALCAPA is helpful to making an early diagnosis of ALCAPA.Early surgical treatment can improve the patients′ outcome.

Objective Overexpression of multidrug resistance(MDR)is one of the mechanisms that will lead to chemotherapy failure.Of the MDR pathways in tumor cells,P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by MDR genes is one of the key points.99Tcm-methoxyisobutylisonitrile(MIBI) is an imaging agent that can detect overexpression of MDR in tumor cells.The aim of this study was to observe the relationship between 99Tcm.MIBI uptake kinetics and P-gp levels in tumor cells,with or without MDR reversing agents.Methods A totle of 2×106 cells of human myelogeneous leukemia cell line K562 and its resistant subline(K562/D) were incubated with 8 MBq 99Tcm-MIBI respectively.99Tcm-MIBl accumulation and emux at various time inter-vats and the uptake difference with the presence of different cyclosporin A(O.1-O.4 ug/ml)were also ob-served.Comparison of different cell lines or without and with cyclosporin A were performed with the t-test, and the daa of different groups were compared by q-test.Results 99Tcm-MIBI uptake in K562 and K562/D cell line were 1.559±0.529 and 0.107±0.036,99Tcm-MIBI uptake in k562 was flitleon times higher than k562/D.As compared with K562 cell line with no expression of P-gp,significantly increased the 99Tcm-MIBI uptake of K562/D to 106%,148% and 163%after treated with cyclosporin A(0.1,0.2.0.4ug/ml)was ob-served(t=4.35,4.83,5.88,P<0.05).Conclusiom 99Tcm-MIBI uptake can reflect the P-gP level and multidrug-resistance inhibitor may impact 99Tcm-MIBI uptake in P-gP overexpressing cells.

AlM: To study the effects of different concentrations of Coix seed oil on human retinal capillary endothelial cells ( HRCECs ) proliferation and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) expression in high glucose environment.
METHODS: HRCECs extracted from human fresher eyeball and cultured in vitro, and ultimately used in the experiment were the growth of 3rd ~ 4th cells, the experimental were divided into blank control group, low glucose control group, high glucose control group, high glucose + ( 50ü L/mL, 100ü L/mL, 200ü L/mL ) different concentrations Coix seed oil group. Detecting the multiplication of HRCECs by MTT, the immunocytochemical method was employed to detect the each group HRCECs of VEGF expression.
RESULTS:MTT assay results showed that: different concentrations of coix seed oil acted at HRCECs for 48h, inhibition of cell proliferation was significant difference compared with high glucose control group (P<0. 05). Within 48h showed concentration dependence. There was no statistical difference between the low glucose group and high glucose control group (P>0. 05). lmmunocytochemical assay showed that:50ü L/mL, 100ü L/mL, 200ü L/mL Coix seed oil acted at HRCECs 48h, the expression of VEGF decreased significantly compared with the high glucose control group ( P< 0. 05 ), and in a dose- dependent manner. However, in high glucose control group, the expression of VEGF was obvious higher than that of low glucose control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON:Coix seed oil can inhibit the HRCECs proliferation and suppress the VEGF expression in high glucose environment.

Objective To optimize the concentrate process ofDanshen injection.Methods The concentration changes of Salvianic acid A sodium, Protocatechuic aldehyde and Salvianolic acid B were selected as indexes to compare mospheric concentrate, vacuum concentrate, nanofiltration concentrate and nanofiltration-vacuum coupling concentrate methods with HPLC. Results Phenolic acid composition changed when atmospheric and vacuum concentrate method were used. Retention rate of three phenolic acids were over 93% after nanofiltration concentration, but the concentration efficiency was limited by solution viscosity. Nanofiltration-vacuum coupling concentrate methods could solve the above problems, meanwhile, retention rate of three phenolic acids were over 91%.Conclusions Nanofiltration technology takes advantage in medicine extraction concentrate with heat sensitive ingredients, and its application prospect in traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical industry would be broad.
