ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#Ziyin Huatan Recipe (ZYHT), a traditional Chinese medicine comprised of Lilii Bulbus, Pinelliae Rhizoma, and Hedyotis Diffusa, has shown promise in treating gastric cancer (GC). However, its potential mechanism has not yet been clearly addressed. This study aimed to predict targets and molecular mechanisms of ZYHT in treating GC by network pharmacology analysis and to explore the role of ZYHT in GC both in vitro and in vivo.@*METHODS@#Targets and molecular mechanisms of ZYHT were predicted via network pharmacology analysis. The effects of ZYHT on the expression of metastasis-associated targets were further validated by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. To explore the specific molecular mechanisms of the effects of ZYHT on migration and invasion, the runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) gene was knocked out by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9, and lentiviral vectors were transfected into SGC-7901 cells. Then lung metastasis model of GC in nude mice was established to explore the anti-metastasis effect of ZYHT. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to explore the impact of ZYHT on the expression of metastasis-related proteins with or without RUNX3 gene.@*RESULTS@#The network pharmacology analysis showed that ZYHT might inhibit focal adhesion, migration, invasion and metastasis of GC. ZYHT inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cells in vitro via regulating the expression of metastasis-associated targets. Knocking out RUNX3 almost completely reversed the cell phenotypes (migration and invasion) and protein expression levels elicited by ZYHT. In vivo studies showed that ZYHT inhibited the metastasis of GC cells to the lung and prolonged the survival time of the nude mice. Knocking out RUNX3 partly reversed the metastasis of GC cells to the lung and the protein expression levels elicited by ZYHT.@*CONCLUSION@#ZYHT can effectively inhibit the invasion and migration of GC in vitro and in vivo, and its molecular mechanism may relate to the upregulation of RUNX3 expression.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the efficiency of MR psychoradiology examination in screening and classification of psychiatric disorders as well as its potential clinical application.Methods:Retrospective study was conducted for 144 patients with MR psychoradiology examination, who were diagnosed mental disorders based on International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems Tenth Revision (ICD-10) from September 2018 to July 2020 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. As our previous studies, imaging diagnostic models were constructed based on gray matter volume (GMV) analysis for four kinds of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. For 120 patients with psychiatric disorders, the GMV change pattern of brain regions was detected and subtyped by MR psychoradiology examination with 50% similarity threshold of the above imaging diagnostic models. The diagnostic efficiency of MR psychoradiology examination was evaluated with references of clinical diagnose. For 24 patients with dementia, brain atrophy was additionally measured by conventional MR examination and MR psychoradiology examination respectively.Results:The sensitivity, specificity, Youden index and accuracy of MR psychoradiology in identifying the four psychiatric disorders were 86.6% (84/97), 69.6% (16/23), 0.56 and 83.3% (100/120), including depression [77.8% (28/36), 69.0% (58/84), 0.47, 71.7% (86/120)], schizophrenia [58.8% (10/17), 91.3% (94/103), 0.50, 86.7% (104/120)], bipolar disorder [42.1% (8/19), 96.0% (97/101), 0.38, 87.5% (105/120)] and anxiety disorder [24.0% (6/25), 100% (95/95), 0.24, 84.2% (101/120)]. As for 24 patients with dementia, 58.3% (14/24) were detected with brain atrophy by conventional MR examination, while 91.7% (22/24) were detected by MR psychoradiology examination.Conclusions:MR psychoradiology can detect the subtle brain structural abnormalities of patients with mental disorders. Although it can′t be used as an independent biomarker for disease diagnosis till now, it is of great help in improving the accuracy and objectivity of diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

The ripe dried fruit of citron(Citrus medica) is one of the important sources of Chinese herb Citri Fructus. At the same time, it is also grown for edible and ornamental uses. There are many species and abundant genetic variation. To clarify the intraspecific variation and resource distribution of citron, this study investigated the variation in 11 citron fruits, basically covering the main species in China, including Xiaoguo citron(C. medica var. ethrog), Goucheng(C. medica var. yunnanensis), Muli citron(C.medica var. muliensis), Dehong citron(C.medica×Citrus spp.), Fuzhou citron(C.medica×C.grandis?), Mawu(C.medica×C.grandis?), Cangyuan citron, Binchuan citron, Sweet citron, Big citron, and Small citron. The natural communities of citron were proved to be mainly distributed in the southwestern and western Yunnan and southeastern Tibet of China, with Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Chongqing, Hubei, and Zhejiang identified as the main production areas. Citron has also been widely grown in India, the Mediterranean region, and the Caribbean coast countries. The field investigation revealed the large-scale intraspecific variation of citron fruits. Most of the fruits are oval-like or sphere-like in shape. The fruits are green when raw and yellow when ripe, with oil cell dots on the skin, stripe-likes running from top to bottom, and bulge at the top. Usually, in the smaller citron fruits, the pulp and juice vesicles are better developed and the central columella is tighter. By contrast, the juice vesicles and central columella in larger fruits became more vacant, with carpels visible, and the apex segregation and development of the carpels is one of the reasons for variation. These variations should be given top priority in the future variety selection and breeding, and the quality differences of different citron species and their mechanisms should be further studied. In particular, variety selection and classification management according to their medicinal or edible purposes will provide scientific and technological supports for the orderly, safe, and effective production of citron products consumed as food and medicine.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the mediating roles of perceived social support and relative deprivation in the relationships between life events and Internet addiction among Chinese college students.Methods:Totally 413 college students (200 males and 213 females,aged 16-21 years),completed the Relative Deprivation Questionnaire,Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List,Perceived Social Support Scale and Chinese Internet Addiction Scale Revised to measure the level of relative deprivation,life events,perceived social support and Internet addiction.The Bollen-Stine of structural equation modeling and Bootstrap were used to test the mediating effect of perceived social support and relative deprivation on the relationship between life events and Internet addiction.Results:The scores of PSSS were negatively correlated with the scores of ASLEC,RDQ,and CIAS-R (r=0.11-0.36,Ps <0.05).The scores of ASLEC,RDQ,and CIAS-R were positively correlated with each other (r=0.14-0.23,Ps < 0.01).Path analyses showed that the ASLEC scores were not associated with the CIAS-R scores directly (β =0.11,P >0.05),but indirectly through the mediating roles of the scores of PSSS and RDQ and the chain mediating effect of them among Chinese college students.The structural equation model could be accepted by Bollen-Stine Bootstrap (P <0.01).The confidence interval from Bootstrap output of the mediating effects of the scores of PSSS and RDQ and the chain mediating effect of them were (0.010,0.103),(0.002,0.032) and (0.005,0.061) respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that life events could not directly affect Internet addiction,but indirectly lead to Internet addiction through reducing perceived social support and increasing relative deprivation.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is regarded as an important treatment for gastric cancer patients, especially for those in advanced stage. To evaluate the effects of TCM treatment on gastric cancer patients, the authors performed a retrospective study to report the result of the integrated treatment of TCM with chemotherapy for stage IV non-surgical gastric cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In this study, 182 patients with stage IV and non-surgical gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the effects of TCM integrated with chemotherapy. Among the 182 cases, 88 cases received integrated therapy consisting of TCM and chemotherapy, while 94 cases received chemotherapy alone. The overall survival and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score were measured as the main outcome.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The median overall survival of the integrated therapy group and chemotherapy group were 16.9 and 10.5 months, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates of integrated therapy group vs. chemotherapy group were 70% vs. 32%, 18% vs. 4%, and 11% vs. 0%, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups (χ= 42.244, P > 0.001). After six-month treatment, KPS scores of the integrated therapy group and the chemotherapy group were 75.00 ± 14.78 and 60.64 ± 21.39, respectively (P > 0.001). The Cox regression analysis showed that TCM treatment is a protective factor for patients' overall survival.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This study demonstrated that TCM integrated with chemotherapy may prolong overall survival and improve survival rate and life quality of patients with stage IV non-surgical gastric cancer.</p>

ABSTRACT

Accumulative evidences have underpinned the nature candidates from Chinese medicine (CM), particularly CM served as blood activating and stasis resolving (BASR, Huoxue Huayu in Chinese) by targeting tumor-associated angiogenesis. However, recent experiment research on the therapeutic angiogenesis by BASR-CM attracts wide attention and discussion. This opinion review focused on the underlying link between two indications and anticipated that (1) BASR-CM might emphasize on a balanced multi-cytokines network interaction; (2) BASR-CM might address on the nature of diseases prior to differently affecting physiological and pathological angiogenesis; (3) BASR-CM might mainly act on perivascular cells, either promotes arteriogenesis by increasing arteriogenic factors in ischemic diseases, or simultaneously keep a quiescent vasculature to impede angiogenesis in tumor context.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate whether apollon immunoexpression in breast cancer tissues helps to predict pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expressions of Apollon, Her-2, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) were detected immunohistochemically in biopsy tissues from 124 breast cancer patients. The clinical responses to NAC were evaluated in line with the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST). The pCR rate was analyzed for different types of breast cancer. The correlations between Apollon status with Her-2, ER, PR, lymph node status and tumor size were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to compared the changes in Apollon expression in the breast cancer tissues before and after NAC.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The pCR rate was 18.5% (23/124) in these patients. Negative expressions of apollon, ER and PR were all associated with a higher pCR rate after NAC. Apollon was significantly correlated with Her-2, ER, PR and lymph node involvement. Chemotherapy significantly down-regulated apollon expression in the tumor cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A negative apollon expression might be a predictor of pCR in patients with breast cancer.</p>

ABSTRACT

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, has evolved over thousands of years with its own unique system of theories, diagnostics and therapies. TCM has been increasingly used in the last decades and become well known for its significant role in preventing and treating cancer. We believe that TCM possesses advantages over Western medicine in specific aspects at a certain stage of cancer treatment. Here we summarize the advantages of TCM from three aspects: preventing tumorigenesis; attenuating toxicity and enhancing the treatment effect; and reducing tumor recurrence and metastasis.

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to optimize the methods of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to improve its quality in amygdala. Forty-three volunteers were examined at right and left amygdala using stimulated-echo acquisition mode (STEAM), and point-resolved spectroscopy series (PRESS) with and without saturation bands. The Cr-SNR, water-suppression level, water full width at half maximum (FWHM) and RMS noise of three sequences were compared. The results showed that (1) the Cr-SNR and water-suppression lelvel of PRESS with saturation bands were better than that of PRESS without saturation bands and STEAM (P<0.001); (2) the left and right RMS noise was significantly different both using PRESS with saturation bands and using STEAM (P<0.05); (3) there was a positive, significant correlation between Cr-SNR and voxel size (P<0.05). Therefore, PRESS with saturation bands is better than PRESS without saturation bands or STEAM for the spectroscopy of amygdala. It is also useful to make the voxel as big as possible to improve the spectral quality.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the therapeutic effects of Jiedu granules, a Chinese medicine (CM) compound, plus cinobufacini injection, which was extracted from skin of Bufo bufo gargarizans Cantor, to prevent the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after surgical resection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In this case-control trial, a total of 120 patients who stayed in Changhai Hospital were enrolled from December 2001 to December 2006. Sixty patients were treated with Jiedu granules plus cinobufacini injection to prevent tumor recurrence after operation (CM group) and 60 patients were treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) after operation (TACE group). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were determined to evaluate the therapeutic effects of post-operative management of patients with HCC.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>PFS in the CM group was 18.07 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.49-23.65] and the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year PFS rates were 61%, 39%, 26%, 22% and 12%, respectively. PFS in the TACE group was 8.03 months (95% CI: 6.63-9.44) and the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year PFS rates were 34%, 11%, 7%, 2% and 0%, respectively. There was significant difference in survival rate between the two groups (P<0.01). The mean survival time (MST) of patients in the CM group was 49.53 months versus 39.90 months of the TACE group. The 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year survival rates were 90%, 82%, 80%, 70% and 63%, respectively, in the CM group, and 79%, 70%, 60%, 60% and 36%, respectively, in the TACE group. There was significant difference in survival time between the two groups (P=0.045).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Jiedu granules plus cinobufacini injection, a combination that is commonly used for post-operation management of HCC, can postpone tumor recurrence and metastasis, prolong the survival time and increase the survival rate of post-surgical patients with HCC. However, these findings need to be confirmed in a prospective, randomized controlled trial.</p>

ABSTRACT

Special emphasis about cancer metastasis was concentrated on tumor cells themselves, and we usually considered the ability of migration and invasion was the final decider. Recently, bewaring of tumor microenvironment is a fundamental determinant in metastasis has become the most outstanding breakthrough. Considerable "microbes" in the microenvironment are closely linked with tumor metastatic behaviors, and the major proportion of them is tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Actually, TAMs conserve immediate "cross-talk" with cancer cells throughout tumor development. It is generally accepted that TAMs have mostly pro-tumoral functions and play an important role in several stages of tumor progression. This progression involves a series of events that leads from the primary site to the metastatic site, including tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, migration, invasion, intravasation and finally extravasation at distant site where the process begins again (metastasis). Thereby, TAMs has attracted substantial attentions in recent years and could become a promising therapeutic strategy. In this review, we focus on the multi-functions of TAMs in cancer and certain drugs targeting TAMs for cancer treatment those are under experimental research procedures or have even been entered human clinical tests.

ABSTRACT

Receptor for advanced glycosylation end products (RAGE) has long been a focus in studies of diabetic vascular diseases. Recently, clinical evidence has shown that the expression level of RAGE is high in liver, stomach, pancreas and prostate cancer tissues whereas the expression level of RAGE is lower in chondrosarcoma and lung cancer tissues. The abnormal expression of RAGE is closely associated with tumorgenesis, angiogenesis, tumor invasion and metastasis. This review summarizes the abnormal expression of RAGE in different tumors and its role in carcinogenesis and development of tumor. Copyright© 2011 by TUMOR.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of Aidi injection combined with chemotherapy on CD+4CDhi25CDlow127regulatory T (Treg) cells in peripheral blood of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Sixty patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into the study group (treated with Aidi injection combined with chemotherapy) and the control group (treated with chemotherapy).The levels of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM), and TGF-β1 and IL-10 levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after chemotherapy. A group consisted of 20 healthy persons was set up meanwhile.Results There was a significantly higher percentage of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells in patients with NSCLC (5.77±1.50) % than that(3.84±0.96) % of healthy volunteers (P=0.000).The IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels[(24.09±6.74), (197.76±43.76) ng/ml]in the serum of patients with NSCLC were also significantly higher than that[(19.39±5.73), (141.13±32.17) ng/ml]of healthy volunteers (P =0.006,P =0.002). In control group, levels of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127 Treg cells were obviously lower than that before chemotherapy (P =0.048).Levels of TGF-β1 and IL-10[(22.25±6.79), (184.85±49.11) ng/ml]were slightly decreased, which showed no significant difference contrast to pretherapy[(24.37±8.10), (197.16±44.57) ng/ml](P =0.276, P =0.314).In study group, levels of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells and TGF-β1, IL-10[(4.36±1.19) %,(20.16±4.73), (165.42±39.57) ng/ml]were obviously lower than that before chemotherapy[(5.78±1.50) %,(23.81±5.15), (198.35±43.68) ng/ml](P=0.000, P=0.003, P =0.006).Conclusion The CD+4CDhi25CDlow127 Treg cells in the peripheral blood of advanced NSCLC patients is significantly increased. Aidi injection combined with chemotherapy can obviously reduce the level of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127 Treg cells in patients with advanced NSCLC, and the combined therapy could improve the immune function of patients.

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to explore the value of quantitative proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in the differentiation of benign and malignant meningioma. 23 cases, including 19 benign (grade I) and 4 malignant (grade II-III) meningiomas, underwent single voxel 1H-MRS (TR/TE = 2000 ms/68, 136, 272 ms). T2 relaxation time of tissue water and choline were estimated by an exponential decay model. Choline concentration was calculated using tissue water as the internal reference, and corrected according to intra-voxel cystic/necrotic parts. Tissue water T2 of benign and malignant meningiomas were (105 +/- 41) ms and (151 +/- 42) ms, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P = 0.033). While Choline T2 of benign and malignant meningiomas were (242 +/- 73) ms and (316 +/- 102) ms respectively, the difference was not significant (P = 0.105). Choline concentration was (2.86 +/- 0.86) mmol/ kg wet weight in benign meningiomas and (3.53 +/- 0.60) mmol/kg wet weight in malignant ones; after correction they increased to (2.98 +/- 0.93)mmol/kg wet weight and (4.58 +/- 1.22) mmol/kg wet weight, respectively, and the difference was significant (P = 0.019). In conclusion, quantitative 1H-MRS is useful for the differentiation of benign and malignant meningioma by T2 relaxation time and absolute choline concentration.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the reconstructive methods of keeping cardiac function after resec- tion of cardiac carcinoma. Methods After anastomosis of esophageal mucosa and sub-mueosa with gastric counterparts, oblique invagination with gastric ehorion and visceral muscle were adopted in experimental group to keep cardiac anatomical and physiological function.Additionaly, tissues around pylorus were suffi- ciently dissociated to keep pylorie function.Contrastively,regular anastomosis with GF-1 26/28 after resection of cardiac carcinoma was adopted to reconstruct cardia,with thread marked 4 intervally used to reinforce anastomotic ostium in control group.The sphincter of pylorus was dilated to prevent pylorospasm and obstruc- tion.Results In experimental group,no anastomotic leakage,anastomotic stricture and gastroesophageal re- flux occurred.In control group,the incidence of anastomotic leakage and anastomotic stricture were 2.8 %(1/ 36)and 50 %(18/36)respectively,and pH≤4 at anastomotic ostium were found in 12 eases,accounting for 33.3 %, and pH≤6 in 29 cases, accounting for 80.6 %(29/36). Conclusion The reconstructive method of keeping cardiac and pyloric function in resection of cardiac carcinoma benefits recovery of post-operation pa- tients and improve their life quality.
