ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology is a hotspot in the study of gastric cancer, and its prognosis is poor. Intraperitoneal free cancer cells may be associated with cancer cells migration, invasion and metastasis. Tumor T stage, peritoneal metastasis, lymph node metastasis, low histological differentiation, linitis plastica, adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction, and operation are the clinicopathological risk factors of gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology. Currently, the acquisition of free cancer cells is mainly through diagnostic laparoscopy combined with peritoneal lavage, and cytopathological examination is gold standard for diagnosis. Its treatment strategies are not in consensus, including preoperative chemotherapy combined with radical resection, postoperative chemotherapy and peritoneal local treatment, which can prolong the survival of patients. At present, postoperative chemotherapy is often used in China, and the best treatment strategies remain to be further studied.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the effects of estradiol on 60Co γ-ray induced apoptosis of bone marrow hematopoietic cells of mice, and to discuss the related anti-irradiation mechanism. Methods: KM mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (15 mice/each group): control group (without radiation), pure radiation group and estradiol + radiation group (ER group). The pure radiation group was irradiated by 4.0 Gy γ-ray at a dose rate of 1.15Gy/min; the ER group was administered with 0.1 mg estradiol (IM) at 10 days before 4.0 Gy γ-ray radiation; and the control group received no special treatment. The apoptotic DNA segments of bone marrow hematopoietic cells were analyzed by DNA agarose gel electrophoresis; flow cytometry was used to examine the apoptosis rate of cells and expression of Fas and Bcl-2 at 4 h, 8 h, and 12 h after irradiation. Results: Eight hours after radiation, the apoptotic DNA segments were obviously increased and apoptotic DNA ladder appeared, which was not seen in the other 2 groups. The apoptosis rate of bone marrow hematopoietic cells in ER group was significantly lower than that in the pure radiation group at 4, 8, and 12 h after irradiation(P<0.01). Fas expression was only slightly elevated in the ER group than in the control group, but was markedly lower than that in pure radiation group(P<0.01), and showed no typical crest-time; Bcl-2 expression was significantly higher in the ER group than in the pure radiation group(P<0.01). Conclusion: Estradiol can decrease the apoptosis of mice bone marrow hematopoietic cells induced by γ-ray, probably through down-regulation of Fas and up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the expression of tumor suppressor gene PTEN in the radiation-induced mouse thymoma cells, and to observe the inhibitory effect of exogenous PTEN transfection on the in vitro proliferation and in vivo tumor forming ability of radiation-induced thymoma. Methods: Immunohistochemistry SP and Western blotting assay were used to examine the expression of PTEN, γ-H2AX, and Rad51 protein in radiation-induced mice thymoma and normal thymus tissues. RT-PCR assay was conducted to examine the PTEN gene loss. Exogenous PTEN gene was transferred into mouse thymoma cells and its inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and tumor-forming ability were observed. Results: The positive rate of PTEN protein expression was 22.73% (5/22) in radiation-induced thymoma tissue, significantly lower than that in the normal thymus tissue (P < 0.01). Western blotting assay showed that the expression of PTEN protein in thymoma was markedly lower than that in the normal thymus tissue (P<0.01). RT-PCR found that in tumor tissue there was high-frequency of PTEN gene loss. Exogenous PTEN expression in thymoma significantly inhibited the cell proliferation and the tumor-forming ability (P<0.01). The expression of γ-H2AX protein in the thymoma tissue was significantly higher than that in the normal thymus tissue; the expression of Rad51 protein was significantly lower than that in the normal tissue. Conclusion: Loss of PTEN gene may contribute to radiation-induced thymoma via influencing the Rad51-mediated DNA repair pathway. Exogenous PTEN gene transfer can inhibit the in vitro proliferation of thymoma cells, which may contribute to the treatment and prevention of radiation-induced tumor.
