Objective To explore the DNA-protein crosslink(DPC) induced by formaldehyde(FA) and the repair.Methods Three-month-old Wistar male rats were used as the experimental animals and exposed to gaseous FA at the doses of 0,0.5,1.0,3.0 mg/m3 respectively through continuous inhalation for 72 h.The cellular suspension of the lungs and kidneys was exposed to FA at the doses of 0,25,50,100,150 and 200 ?mol/L respectively for 1 h.The KCl-SDS assay was used to detect the coefficient of DPC in the lung and renal cells.The repair at 0,6,12,18 and 24 h exposure points was determined in the exposure test of 3.0 mg/m3 for 72 h in vivo and 75 ?mol/L for 1 h in vitro.Results Higher gaseous FA(≥1.0 mg/m3) could significantly cause DPC(P

Objective To compare the short-term efficacies of laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (ISR) and laparotomy for ultra-low rectal cancers by Meta-analysis.Methods We searched case-control trials that compared clinical outcomes of laparoscopic ISR and laparotomy from PubMed, EMBase, Ovid, CNKI and Wanfang database.Relevant published and unpublished data and conference papers were also retrieved.Two reviewers independently assessed the qualities of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed by using of RevMan5.2 software.Results A total of 5 trials with 552 cases were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that in terms of blood loss of the operation [mean difference (MD) =-65.42, 95％ CI:-93.45--37.38, Z=4.57, P＜0.000 01], flatus passage time (MD=-0.96, 95％CI:-1.45--0.47, Z=3.83, P=0.000 1) and hospital stays (MD=-1.69,95％CI:-2.19--1.19, Z=6.63, P＜0.00001),laparoscopic ISR were significantly superior than those of laparotomy, with significant differences.In terms of operation time (MD =6.61,95 ％ CI:-21.29-34.51, Z =0.46, P =0.64), the positive rate of circumferential resection margin (OR =1.01, 95％ CI: 0.37-2.80, Z =0.02, P =0.98) and postoperative morbidity (0R=0.73, 95％ CI: 0.45-1.20, Z =1.23, P =0.22), there were no significant differences in the two groups.However, laparotomy may clean more numbers of lymph nodes than those of laparoscopic ISR (MD =-1.16, 95％CI:-2.14--0.18, Z =2.31, P =0.02), with significant difference.Conclusion The shortterm efficacy of laparoscopic ISR is superior than that of laparotomy in the treatment of ultra-low rectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of action of oncolytic agent derived from herpes simplex virus type 2 (oHSV2) in a xenograft mouse model bearing CT26 colorectal cancer. Methods:BALB/c mice were subcutaneously inoculated with CT26 cells to establish a xenograft mouse model of colorectal cancer. 1) After intratumoral administration of oHSV2, enzyme-linked im-munosorbent assay was used to determine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) expression levels in the blood. 2) Model mice were divided into three groups:PBS group (negative control), oHSV2 group, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) group (positive control). After drug administration, drug effectiveness was evaluated on the basis of weight, tumor volume, general state, and survival time. 3) Cells from the draining lymph nodes (TDLN) and tumor were surgical y removed and used to quantify mature dendritic cel s (DCs) and T lym-phocytes by flow cytometry. Result:1) In the CT26 xenograft model, level of GM-CSF continuously elevated. At day 8, peak value was attained in the blood at concentration of 3150±327.1 pg/mL. Then, GM-CSF expression gradually reduced as time progressed. 2) In in vivo study, both oHSV2 and 5-FU exerted antitumor effects relative to PBS group (50 days vs. 36 days, P<0.01;51 days vs. 36 days, P<0.01), and oHSV2 proved to be less toxic and safer. At day 28, the 5-FU group presented highly significant difference in mouse body weight compared with that of PBS group (16.61 g vs. 22.07 g, P<0.01). However, oHSV2 group did not show statistical y significant change (al P>0.05). Skin of virus injection region did not present necrosis and ulceration. 3) In the TDLN, the frequency of DC was increased when treated with oHSV2 compared with the control group (6.49%vs. 3.73%, P<0.01). Similarly, the percentage of CD4+and CD8+T-cel s from the oHSV2-treated group was signifcantly higher than mock-treated tumors (15%vs. 8.57%, P<0.01;8.19%vs. 5.15%, P<0.01). However, number of cells in the 5-FU group were significantly reduced with respect to that of the negative group (al P<0.01). Conclusion:oHSV2 exerted potent antitumor effects in a murine colorectal cancer model. Compared with 5-FU, oHSV2 treatment caused fewer side effects. Such antitumor effect may be induced by stimulation of immune activity by GM-CSF production.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between expression of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) and its receptor c-Met and primary colorectal cancers with synchronous liver metastases.

METHODSA total of 30 colorectal cancer patients with synchronous liver metastasis underwent radical resection of primary cancer and liver cancer in our hospital from June 2001 to June 2010. According to lymphatic metastasis, patients were divided into group A(T1~T4N1~N2M1, n=21) and group B(T1~T4N0M1, n=9). Twenty-one matched T1~T4N1~N2M0 and 21 T1~T4N0M0 patients were used as the controls of group A. Nine matched T1~T4N0M0 patients were used as the controls of group B. Expressions of HGF and c-Met in tissues of primary loci, liver loci and metastatic loci were detected by immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSIn primary loci of group A, the positive rate of HGF was significantly higher than that of T1~T4N1~N2M0 and T1~T4N0M0 controls [71%(15/21) vs. 43%(9/21), 19%(4/21), all P<0.05]. The positive rate of c-MET[90%(19/21)] was significantly higher compared to T1~T4N0M0 control[43%(9/21), P<0.05], while not significantly different compared to T1~T4N1~N2M0 control[86%(18/21)]. In primary loci of group B, positive rates of HGF and c-MET were not significantly different as compared to T1~T4N0M0 control[6/9 vs. 5/9, P>0.05; 8/9 vs. 6/9, P>0.05]. Concordance of HGF and c-MET expression in group A among primary loci, lymphatic metastatic loci and hepatic metastatic loci was 81%(17/21) and 76%(16/21).

CONCLUSIONHGF-c-Met may play a role in colorectal cancer patients with synchronous liver metastasis who have regional lymphatic metastasis, and may have few effect on colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastasis without corresponding lymphatic metastasis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression level of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) in human colorectal cancer and its relation with different clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.

METHODSImmunohistochemical method was used to detect the HMGB1 expression in tissue samples of 86 colorectal cancer patients and 32 normal colorectal tissue samples. Positive rates of HMGB1 expression were compared among different clinicopathological characteristics. Relation of HMGB1 expression with survival was analyzed.

RESULTSHMGB1 expression was mainly in colorectal cancer cell nucleus, with a few appearance of co-expression in nucleus and cytoplasm. Positive rate of HMGB1 expression in normal tissues was significantly lower than that in colorectal cancers [9.4% (3/32) vs. 66.3% (57/86), P=0.000], and it was much higher in large cancers, lower differentiation, invasion to outside serosa, advanced clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), but was similar in terms of age and gender (P>0.05). Survival analysis showed that 3-year survival rate of patients with positive HMGB1 expression was significantly lower as compared to those with negative HMGB1 expression (56.1% vs. 85.7%, P=0.021), meanwhile it was significantly lower in patients with co-expression in nucleus and cytoplasm as compared to those with simple nuclear expression (41.4% vs. 75.0%, P=0.013).

CONCLUSIONSHMGB1 expression in colorectal cancer is high, and its positive rate increases with the low differentiation, invasion and metastasis. HMGB1 co-expression in nucleus and cytoplasm indicates poor prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical short-term safety and efficacy between robotic right colectomy (RRC) and laparoscopic right colectomy(LRC) with meta-analysis.

METHODSA search of the Medline, Embase, Ovid, CNKI and WANFANG databases was performed for studies comparing clinical or oncologic outcomes of RRC with LRC before July 2014. The RevMan 5.2 software was used for meta-analysis. The operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, conversion rate to open surgery, postoperative complications and related outcomes were evaluated.

RESULTSSix studies including 217 RRC cases and 400 conventional LRC cases were enrolled and analyzed. The meta-analysis showed that RRC had longer operative time (MD=48.05, 95% CI: 26.52 to 69.57, P<0.01), less estimated blood loss (MD=-17.74, 95% CI: -28.32 to -7.16, P=0.01), faster postoperative intestinal peristalsis recovery (MD=-0.79, 95% CI: -1.10 to -0.48, P<0.01), lower postoperative overall complications (OR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.93, P=0.02). Conversion rate and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups were not significantly different (all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONCompared to LRC, RRC is associated with less estimated blood loss, faster postoperative intestinal peristalsis recovery, lower postoperative overall complications, and longer operative time.

Objective To design and produce serial shock tubes and further examine their application to experimental studies on blast injury.Methods Bio-medical engineering technique was used for the design and development of the serial shock tubes. One thousand four hundred and fifty nine animals (757 rats, 105 guinea pigs, 335 rabbits, 240 dogs and 22 sheep) were then used to test the wounding effects of the shock tubes.Results Three types of bio-shock tubes, that is, large-, medium- and small-scale shock tubes were made in our laboratory. The large-scale shock tube is 39 meters long; the inner diameter of the test section is 1 meter; and the maximum overpressure in the driving section is 10.3 MPa. A negative pressure could be formed by means of the reflected rarefactive wave produced by the end plate. The medium-scale shock tube is 34.5 meters long; the maximum overpressure in the driving section is 22 MPa; the test section is designed to be a knockdown, showing 5 basic types with inner diameter of 77 to 600 millimeters, which could be used for researches on overpressure, explosive decompression, underwater explosion, and so on. The small-scale shock tube is 0.5 meter long with the maximum endured overpressure of 68.6 MPa. Results from animal experiments showed that this set of shock tubes could induce various degrees of systemic or local blast injury in large or small animals. Conclusions This set of bio-shock tubes can approximately simulate typical explosive wave produced by nuclear or charge explosion, and inflict various degrees of blast injury characterized by stability and reproducibility. Therefore, they can meet the needs of blast research on large and small animals.
