RESUMO

Autophagy is a process in which long-lived proteins, damaged cell organelles, and other cellular particles are sequestered and degraded. This process is important for maintaining the cellular microenvironment when the cell is under stress. Many studies have shown that autophagy plays a complex role in human diseases, especially in cancer, where it is known to have paradoxical effects. Namely, autophagy provides the energy for metabolism and tumor growth and leads to cell death that promotes tumor suppression. The link between autophagy and cancer is also evident in that some of the genes that regulate carcinogenesis, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, participate in or impact the autophagy process. Therefore, modulating autophagy will be a valuable topic for cancer therapy. Many studies have shown that autophagy can inhibit the tumor growth when autophagy modulators are combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. These findings suggest that autophagy may be a potent target for cancer therapy.

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the protein expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) in gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and its clinical significance.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Protein expression of COX-2 and NF-kappaB in gastric MALT lymphoma were examined by immunohistochemistry of Envision two-step method. The correlations of COX-2 and NF-kappaB expression with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, clinical stage, depth of tumor invasion, tumor size, recurrent rate and treatment were analyzed by univariate, multivariate and Pearson analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive expression of COX-2 and NF-kappaB in gastric MALT lymphoma were 48.9%(23/47) and 36.2% (17/47) respectively, and a positive correlation was found between these two factors(r=0.326,P<0.05). Moreover, COX-2 expression was positively correlated with Hp infection,clinical stage, depth of invasion and tumor size (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the overall survival of gastric MALT lymphoma patients with positive COX-2 protein (59.9 months) was shorter than that of patients with negative COX-2 protein (77.8 months), but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The survival was significantly shorter in gastric MALT lymphoma patients with positive NF-kappaB protein (26 months) than that of patients with negative NF-kappaB protein (123.2 months)(P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that clinicopathological stage was independent prognostic factor, and associated with short survival.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Up-regulated expression of COX-2 and activation of NF-kappaB are associated with Hp infection in gastric MALT lymphoma, and their protein expression is correlated with the development of tumor and prognosis.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the factors influencing the long-term survival of pancreatic carcinoma patients after radical resection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data of 184 pancreatic carcinoma patients with radical resection were analyzed retrospectively. Analysis of the prognostic factors influencing the long-term survival was performed using Cox proportional hazard regression model.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates in this group were 61.7%, 29.0% and 14.3%, respectively. They were 78.0%, 38.4% and 25.7%, respectively, for the patients with a tumor < 3 cm in diameter, significantly better than those with a tumor >or= 3 cm (52.8%, 22.7% and 7.2%, respectively, P < 0.05). Moreover, the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 67.6%, 30.5% and 17.4%, respectively, in the patients without lymph node involvement, much longer than that in those with lymph node metastasis (37.1%, 20.6% and 0, respectively, P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis by Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that the tumor size (P < 0.05) and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01) significantly influenced the long-term survival of the patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Tumor size and lymph node metastasis are significant factors influencing the long-term survival of pancreatic carcinoma patients with radical resection. Therefore, early diagnosis and radical resection are the key points to improve treatment outcome.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the enhancing effects of ginsenoside Rg3 combined with mitomycin C and tegafur (MF) on postoperative chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-one postoperative patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups, the control group (n=33), which received treatment with only MF (Mitomycin C+Tegafur), and the trial group (n=38), which were treated with ginsenoside Rg3+MF. The serum VEGF levels in the control group and trial group were detected preoperatively and postoperatively, meanwhile, the serum VEGF levels in 30 healthy persons were detected as comparison. The relations between patients survival and serum VEGF levels were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The levels of serum VEGF in advanced gastric cancer were higher than those in healthy persons [(297.8+/-129.6) pg/ml vs (212.3+/-67.5) pg/ml] (P<0.01), and were correlated with the depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, tumor size > 4 cm and TNM stage (P<0.05). Fourteen weeks after operation, the levels of serum VEGF in trial group decreased below those of preoperation and approached to normal range, while in the control group, the levels of serum VEGF decreased near those of preoperation only. The median survival of patients in trial group and control group were 40 and 25 months respectively. The survival rate of patients in trial group was significantly higher than that in control group (P=0.047).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combined application of ginsenoside Rg3+MF chemotherapy can decrease the concentration of serum VEGF and improve the survival rate in advanced gastric cancer patients.</p>
