ABSTRACT

Colon cancer (CC) is a prevalent disease, with 800,000 new cases annually worldwide. In Chile the mortality is 6.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, which has increased in recent years, being more common in developed countries. Although, CC are most sporadic forms (70 percent), there are patients with family history (30 percent) and 10 percent have a hereditary component, with a predisposition to the formation of tumors, including CC, the most studied syndrome are: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).The progresses made by the human genome sequencing have allowed to known mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that occur in a cell of the normal intestinal mucosa and lead to carcinogenic transformation. This review is an update of the known genes related to the sporadic form of the CC, as well as the most common inherited forms of CC. It is important that health professionals, be aware of developments in this area, because they are who should promote in the community a timely screening for patients with increased risk factors for CC, with the aim of giving an accurate counseling for decrease the morbidity and mortality of this condition.

ABSTRACT

A 50 ratos fêmeas recém-desmamadas foi administrada raçäo com 25 g de lactose/100 g de peso final de mistura, durante 26 dias e, a seguir, esta foi trocada por outra com quantidade equivalente de sacarose, por mais 21 dias. Como grupo controle foram utilizados 30 animais do mesmo sexo e peso que passaram a receber, por 49 dias, raçäo com 25 g de sacarose/100 g de peso final de mistura. Para avaliaçäo da evoluçäo do peso, animais representantes de cada subgrupo foram pesados semanalmente. Com 28, 30, 32, 35, 42 e 49 dias de experiência um grupo de animais foi sacrificado para retirada do intestino grosso e medida do volume externo e pesagem do ceco e cólon. Os resultados indicaram que o ganho ponderal deficiente dos animais que receberam lactose durante o período de 28 dias pode ser revertido com a substituiçäo deste açúcar por sacarose. Por outro lado, o aumento do volume externo do intestino grosso induzido pela lactose reduz-se rapidamente, já na primeira semana, após a retirada deste açúcar. O peso do ceco reduziu-se gradativamente, permanecendo contudo, com valores ligeiramente elevados até três semanas após a substituiçäo da lactose por sacarose. Em conclusäo, nas condiçöes do estudo, as repercussöes determinadas pela lactose sobre o intestino grosso e particularmente sobre o ceco de rato após o desmame näo foram permanentes
