Clinicopathological features and types of microsatellite instability in 1394 patients with colorectal cancer / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinicopathological features and types of genic mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) in colorectal cancer (CRC).@*METHODS@#Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of MMR proteins in 1394 patients with CRC, and PCR-capillary electrophoresis (PCR-CE) was used to detect microsatellite instability (MSI) in 106 cases of defective MMR (dMMR), 46 cases of proficient MMR (pMMR) with heterogeneous expression and 147 randomly selected cases of pMMR. The relationship between the expressions of MMR proteins and the clinicopathological features of the patients was evaluated. The consistency between the results of immunohistochemistry and PCR-CE was assessed.@*RESULTS@#Immunohistochemical staining showed an incidence of dMMR of 7.6% in the patients. The main type of dMMR was co-deletion of MLH1 and PMS2, accounting for 55.7% of the total dMMR cases. The deletion of MMR proteins was significantly correlated with the patients' age, tumor location, tumor size, gross type, histological type, degree of differentiation, lymph node status and TNM stage (@*CONCLUSIONS@#The main type of dMMR is co-deletion of MLH1 and PMS2 in patients with colorectal cancer. dMMR colorectal cancer has typical clinicopathological features and a lower incidence in China than in Western countries. The results of immunohistochemistry and PCR-CE are highly consistent for detecting dMMR in colorectal cancer patients.

Effects of low energy intravenous He-Ne laser irradiation of blood on lymphocytes in patients with cerebral infarction / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective To explore the effects of low energy intravenous He-Ne laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) on cell proliferation, apoptosis and genotoxicity of lymphocytes in patients with cerebral infarction (CI). Methods The lymphocytes in peripheral blood in patients with CI were sampled before and after treatment and cultured, and then, some parameters such as the mitosis index (MI), cell cyclical kinetics index (CCKI), sister chromatid exchanges frequencies (SCEF) and apoptosis were analyzed in order to explore the effects of ILIB on lymphocytes. Results The proliferative activities of lymphocytes were significantly increased by ILIB (P0.05). After ILIB, the rate of apoptosis in patients with CI was significantly increased when compared with that before treatment and that of the control group, as revealed by flow cytometry (FCM) (P

Effects of Xinhuang Tablets on the Growth of Tumor and Immunologic Function in S_(180) Sarcoma-bearing Mice / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Xinghuang tablets on tumor growth and immunologic function in S 180 sarcoma-bearing mice.METHODS:The model of mice with S 180 sarcoma were given Xinhuang tablets intragastrically to ob?serve the effects on the ratio of tumor to body,the inhibition rate of tumor,the indices of the spleen and thymus,and the rate of micronuclei in PCE in bone marrow of the mice.RESULTS:The body weight of the mice with S 180 sarcoma was decreased;the growth of the tumor was inhibited;the weight of spleen was increased;the number of leucocyte of peripheral blood was raised(P
