The discovery of microRNA (miRNA) has opened up a new train of thought for the diagnosis and treatment of esophagus cancer.let-7 is one of the most widely research of miRNA.In a variety of tumors,the expression of let-7 is down-regulated.let-7 can play the role of tumor suppressor gene by targeting to high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) and inhibit the cell proliferation.Recent studies have shown that the lower the degree of differentiation of cells,let-7 expression level is lower.It is expected as a symbol of poorly differentiated tumors.In addition,let-7 and esophagus cancer's radiation and chemotherapy sensitivity are closely related.

Objective To compare the value of transrectal ultrasonography(TRUS) and magnetic resonance(MR) in preoperative estimation of circumferential resection margin (CRM) of mid-low rectal cancer.Methods Both TRUS and MR were performed prior to surgery in 111 patients with mid-low rectal cancer.The CRM was evaluated and compared with the postoperative pathologic findings.Results The accuracy of TRUS and MR for CRM was 91.9％(102/111) and 85.6％(95/111),respectively,there was no statistical difference between them (P =0.137).Their specificities were 94.0％ (79/84)and 84.5％ (71/84),there was statistical difference between them(P =0.046).The consistency of the results between TRUS and pathology was better than that between MR and pathology(Kappa1 =0.783,Kappas =0.652).Conclusions TRUS is proved to have an important diagnostic value for CRM of mid-low rectal cancer.

Objective:To analyze the pathologic types and clinical characteristics of lymphoma in Shandong, China. Methods:The clinical data of lymphoma patients admitted from September 2011 to September 2014 in Shandong Cancer Hospital and the Affiliat-ed Hospital of Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences were retrospectively analyzed. Data included age, sex, pathologic classification, and onset locus of lymphoma. Results:The clinical data of 520 lymphoma cases were collected. The ratio of male to female was 1.2:1, and the median age was 51 years old. Among these patients, 67 cases (12.9%) were Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), whereas 453 cases (87.1%) were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Among NHL cases, 75.9% were B-cell NHL and 24.1% were T/ natural killer-cell NHL. Nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin's lymphoma was the most common pathologic type of HL, comprising 52.2%. The age of HL onset did not present twin peaks. In NHL, 245 cases (54.1%of NHL) were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The constituent ra-tio of DLBCL was higher than in other countries and regions (18%to 42.7%), in which the ratio of male to female was 0.9:1, and the age of onset was slightly earlier (median age was 54 years old). Lymph nodes in the cervical region were the most commonly involved in the disease, and NHL extranodal onset was frequently observed. Conclusion:Among the 520 cases of lymphoma, DLBCL is the most common subtype. Most subtypes show male predominance, but female predominance was observed for DLBCL. The commonly involved sites of extranodal lymphoma are the nasal cavity and gastrointestinal tract.

Objective To detect the difference of the expression of HLA-DQA1 genes polymorphism in the lung cancer patients with pneumoconiosis and the non-occupational lung cancer patients.Methods Multiple polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction classification method (PCR-LDR) was used to detect 6 alleles in HLA-DQA1 and the expression of HLA-DQA1 gene between the 21 cases of pneumoconiosis complicated with lung cancer and 40 cases of non-occupational lung cancer respectively.The correlation between them with pneumoconiosis complicated with lung cancer was analysed.Results HLA-DQA1 0301 gene frequencies were 19％ in pneumoconiosis complicated with lung cancer group and 2.5％ in non-occupational lung cancer group respectively,with a statistically significant difference (x2 =10.022,P =0.002).There was no statistically significant difference in the other allele between the two groups.Conclusion HLA-DQA1 gene polymorphism may be related to the susceptibility of the pneumoconiosis complicated with lung cancer.DQA1 0301 is one of the important genes of pneumoconiosis complicated with lung cancer,which maybe the risk factor for the susceptibility of the pneumoconiosis complicated with lung cancer.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of naturally occurring short non-coding small molecular RNA,which regulates gene expression at the posttranscriptional level through its sequence complementation with target mRNAs.Researches have shown that different malignant tumors,including diffuse large B cell lymphoma,have specific miRNA expression profiles.Therefore,miRNAs expression level of specimens of body fluids and tissues is expected to be the new indicator for assessing diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Short course chemotherapy combined with local field radiotherapy (IFRT) is an important treatment for limited-stage (Ⅰ -Ⅱ)diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients,but the value of radiotherapy has been disputed.Some patients may be cured by combined chemotherapy which contains anthracycline,but there are some patients still facing death.Therefore,researchers try to improve survival of patients further by increasing the density or intensity of the chemotherapy dose,but attempt to reduce the dose or the use of low toxicity drugs for elderly patients.In addition,researches such as radioimmunotherapy and biological targeted therapy have made certain progress.

With the deep study of the molecular biology mechanism during esophageal carcinoma development, there are major progressions in the study of chemotherapy related genes and proteins in esophageal carcinoma, including EGFR, p53, ERCC1, MRP and P-gp, and the measurements of these genes and protein benefit the prediction of chemotherapy sensitivity and making the individualized treatment protocols.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of the double stapling technique for anus-preserved (Dixon) and Miles procedure of rectal carcinoma. MethodsFifty-eight cases were divided into 29 cases as control group and 29 cases as observation group by digital table method. The distance of their carcinoma was 4-7 cm to anus. The control group was treated with Miles procedure of rectal carcinoma, the observation group was treated with double stapling technique for Dixon. ResultsThe operation time of observation group was ( 180 ± 56) min, the control group was (240 ± 73)min(P ＜ 0.05). Five-year survival rate of observation group was 77.9％, the control group was 79.3％ (P ＞0.05);the recurrence rate of observation group was 6.9％(2/29),the control group was 6.9％(2/29) (P ＞ 0.05). In the observation group,nobody suffered encopresis after 1 year,postoperative stool frequency was ≤5 times/d,while the control group occurred encopresis gradually. ConclusionIf the distance of carcinoma is 4-7 cm to anus, the way of the double stapling technique for Dixon can get the similar short term effect with the way of Miles, and can get more ability to control it.

Objective To explore the efficacy of ligustrazine combined with chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory NHL and the relationships with P-gp expression. Methods 60 Patients were randomized into reversal agent group (ligustrazine + chemotherapy) and control group (chemotherapy) and the outcome was analysed. P- gp expression was analysed by flow cytometry. Subgroup analysis was conducted a ccording to P-gp expression. Results 56 patients could be evaluated. Progression -free survival (PFS) showed no statistical diference in two groups ( P = 0.065 1 ) ; reversal agent group had a higher overall response rate (ORR) than control group(P=0. 048).Subgroup analysis showed 41 patients had P-gp( +). The complete remission rate and complete remission uncertain rate of patients with P-gp( + ) in reversal agent group and control group were 33. 33% and 8. 70% , respectively, reversal agent group had a significant advantage ( P = 0. 048). Patients with P-gp( + ) in reversal agent group had a higher ORR than control group (61. 11% vs 26. 09% ,P =0.024). Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test showed patients with P-gp( + ) in reversal agent group had longer PFS than control group (P =0.046 4). Blood pressure in a small number of patients received ligustrazine therapy decreased,and mitigated after reducing the dose. Conclusion Ligustrazine combined with chemotherapy can elevate response rate,prolong PFS with manageable toxicity and correlate to P-gp expression in relapsed or refractory NHL
