Objective To observe expressions of mRNA for Par-4 and WT1 in bone marrow cells from acute leukemia patients and non-leukemia patients, and to approach the correlation between CR rate and Par-4, WT1 expression level. Methods To detect Par-4 and WT1 mRNA expression level in bone marrow cells from 78 acute leukemia patients and 23 non-leukemia patients by means of Real-time Fluorescent Quantitation RT-PCR. Results FQ-RT-PCR result showed that Par-4 mRNA was expressed in bone marrow cells from 78 acute leukemia patients and 23 non-leukemia patients. Compared with control groups, the expression levels of Par-4 mRNA were significantly suppressed (9.35×10-4±8.4×10-5, P ＜0.05). Compared with initial treatment groups and relapse groups, the expression levels of Par-4 mRNA in remission groups were significantly up-regulated (1.26×10-3±1.1×10-4) but were still significantly lower than that in control groups (3.25×10-3±2.9×10-4). There was no significance difference between initial treatment groups and relapse groups. No apparent association was found between Par-4 expression level and CR rate (P ＞0.05). WT1 gene was overexpressed in bone marrow cells from acute leukemia patients(2.98× 10-3±2.1×10-4), but the expression levels of WT1 mRNA were significantly lower in bone marrow cells from control groups (7.25×10-5±6.7×10-6,P ＜0.05). Compared with initial treatment groups and relapse groups, the expression levels of WT1 mRNA in remission groups were significantly down-regulated (6.86×10-4±5.2× 10-5) but were still significantly higher than that in control groups. There was no significant difference between initial treatment groups and relapse groups.There was significant difference between different WT1 expression levels and CR rates (P ＜0.05). Conclusion The result of FQ-RT-PCR testing confirmed that Par-4 mRNA expression is lower, while WT1 is higher in acute leukemia. Par-4 and WT1 gene present mutually exclusive expression patterns. There was no apparent association between Par-4 expression level and CR rate.

Cancer Research and Clinic.2010;22(11):739-741. doi:10.3760/cma.j.issn.1006-9801.2010.11.007

Objective To investigate the patterns for the recurrent and metastatic gastric cancer after curative resection and to indicate the strategy of treatment. Methods 162 patients who had received radical resection and presented post-operation failure during recent 9 years were analyzed. The failure patterns were confirmed by type-B ultrasonic or CT / MRI imaging. 15 of 34 patients with abdominal dropsy were diagnosed by adenocarcinoma cells in the abdominal dropsy. All superficial lymphadens and abdominal wall metastasis were diagnosed via punctuation. 31 patients with gastric remnant and (or) anastomoses recurrence were diagnosed via biopsy. Results Of 162 patients, 63 presented the recurrence or metastasis in multiple sites,including abdominal lymph node (LN) metastases in 46.9 % (76/162), peritoneum metastases in 21.0 % (34/162),gastric remnant and (or) anastomoses recurrence in 19.1% (31/162), liver metastases in 19.1% (31/162), the incidence rates of other parts were all ＜10 %. Meanwhile, out of 76 patients with abdominal lymph node metastases, 48.7 % (37/76) patients with peri-gastric LNs metastases, 31.6 % (24/76) with peri-pancreatic LNs metastases, 19.7 % (15/76) with para-aortic LNs metastases. The incidence of LN metastases was 57.7 % (56/97) in cancer arising from gastric fundus/cardia and 60.4% (29/48) in gastric body and 64.7 % (11/17) in pylorus antrum. Conclusion The regional failure sites for gastric cancer patients with radical resection were dominantly found in the gastric stump/stoma, the peritoneum and pelvic cavity implantation and abdominal cavity LN metastases, especially in the peri-gastric, peri-pancreatic and/or para-aortic LN metastases. The distant place failure sites were mainly in the liver, lung, brain, spondylus, cervical part LN and mediastinal LN metastases. Therefore, we should take chemotherapy, abdominal cavity chemotherapy and regional radiotherapy to prevent the regional district recurrences and distant metastasis after the gastric cancer patients with radical resection. Radiotherapy fields should focus on the gastric stump/stoma and the peri-gastric, peri-pancreatic and para-aortic LN regions.

Cancer Research and Clinic.2010;22(12):810-813. doi:10.3760/cma.j.issn.1006-9801.2010.12.006

Objective To observe colorectal tumor's growth in hyperglycemia mice and its vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)'s expression, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)'s variation of blood through the experiment, then to ascertain whether type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) danger factors to promote colorectal cancer happen and progress or not. Methods The mouse model of colorectal cancer combined T2DM was established. The volume of tumor was observed. After 5 weeks, all mice were executed and IGF-1 in the blood and the expression of VEGF in the tumor tissue was examined. Results The average tumor volume of colorectal tumor-diabetes group [(1628.5±882) mm3] were larger than that of colorectal tumor group [(1950.2±726) mm3] (P <0.05), and its expression IGF-1 of blood [(105.33±32.32) ng/ml] were higher than that of the control group [(69.83±25.57) ng/ml] and colorectal tumor group [(70.17±25.27) ng/ml] (P <0.05). The expression of VEGF [(70.0±11.5)%] in colorectal tumor-diabetes group were significantly higher than that of colorectal tumor group [(42.9±7.5)%] (P <0.05), too. Conclusion The model of T2DM and transplanted colorectal tumor can be duplicated successfully in ICR mice. Diabetes mellitus may be one reason of promoting colorectal cancer progress. Besides high blood glucose, its mechanism is the high level of IGF-1 which can inhibit apoptosis, promote cell differentiation and hyperplasia, and through inducing VEGF duplicating, heighten its expression, promote the tumor vessel growth, lead to tumor happen and metastasis.

Cancer Research and Clinic.2010;22(10):678-680. doi:10.3760/cma.j.issn.1006-9801.2010.10.010

Objective To compare the efficacies of intralesional hyaluronidase(HAase), intralesional dexamethasone(DEX), and intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX on skin damage caused by vinorelbine extravasation in a rat model. Methods After establishing an animal model with vinorelbine extravasation in each lower extremity of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats, we treated the rats with intralesional HAase,intralesional DEX, intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX,intralesional saline,or received no treatment as control.The wound area on 1 d, 4 d, 8 d, 12 d, 18 d, 24 d, 30 d and the time of healing were observed and compared.Results The wound area on 1 d, 4 d, 8 d, 12 d, 18 d and 24 d was significantly lower in intralesional HAase group, intralesional DEX group,intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX group,and intralesional saline group than that in control group (P ＜0.05), and that was significantly lower in intralesional HAase group and intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX group than that in intralesional DEX group and intralesional saline group (P ＜0.05). The healing time was significantly shorter in 4 therapy groups than that in control group [(25.1±3.1) d, (27.9±2.8) d, (23.0±3.2) d, and (28.4±3.9) d vs.(31.2±3.0) d, P ＜0.05], and that was significantly lower in intralesional HAase group and intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX group than that in intralesional DEX group and intralesional saline group (P ＜0.05). Conclusion The monotherapy with intralesional HAase or intralesional DEX, with decreasing the extent of skin damage and shortening the healing time, is effective therapy for skin damage caused by vinorelbine extravasation, and the monotherapy with intralesional Haase is more efficacious. The efficacy of intralesional HAase plus intralesional DEX seems better than that of monotherapy.
