RESUMO
Objective:To study the expression and clinical significance of microRNA-574-3p (miR-574-3p) in colon cancer.Methods:A total of 106 colon cancer patients who were admitted to the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao and Shijiazhuang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2012 to June 2015 were selected as the research objects. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-574-3p in colon cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The relationship between the expression of miR-574-3p and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with colon cancer was analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the relationship between the expression of miR-574-3p and the expression of CyclinA2 or E-cadherin.Results:Compared with normal tissues adjacent to cancer, the expression level of miR-574-3p in 106 cases of colon cancer was significantly lower ( P<0.01). The decreased expression of miR-574-3p was related to tumor diameter, Dukes stage, histological grade and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), but not to age and tumor location (all P>0.05). The patients with low expression of miR-574-3p, high Dukes stage and histological grade, and lymph node metastasis had poor survival (all P<0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate of patients with decreased miR-574-3p expression in cancer tissue was significantly lower than that of patients without decreased miR-574-3p expression ( P=0.007 6). Compared with patients with no decreased miR-574-3p expression, patients with decreased miR-574-3p expression had higher CyclinA2 protein integrated optical density (IOD) value and lower E-cadherin protein IOD value in colon cancer tissues (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The decreased expression of miR-574-3p is related to the poor prognosis of colon cancer patients, which may affect tumor recurrence and metastasis by regulating the expression of CyclinA2 and E-cadherin proteins.
RESUMO
Objective To study the value of CT perfusion imaging(CTPI)on brain hemodynamic of the aged with cerebral infarction. Methods The 48 patients who were doubted with cerebral infarction underwent 16-slice CT plain scanning and CTPI within 24 hours of onset. The cerebral blood flow(CBF), mean transit time(MTT)and time to peak(TTP)of contrast-medium in region of interest(FOV)were used as brain hemodynamic parameters in comparation with contralateral regions. All cases were followed up with MRI after 3-10 days. Results Ischemia lesion was found on CT plain scanning in 40.9% of patients, while 93.2% of patients showed abnormal perfusion on CTPI. The sensibility of CTPI in identifying ischemia area was 93.2%, and the specificity was 100%. CBF in research area was significantly reduced, MTT and TTP were remarkably increased in contrast to counterparts(P＜0.01). Conclusions CT perfusion imaging can sensitively reveal the hemodynamic condition of cerebral ischemia, which could provide the important information for early diagnosis and treatment of the elderly with brain infarction.
RESUMO
Objective To assess the change of CEA in the peritoneal lavage fluit at pre-,post-laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy, and after hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy, and to investigate the influence of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy on drop off of cancer cells, the efficiency of hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy. To investigate whether CEA in the peritoneal lavage fluit detected by flow cytometry (FCM) is an effective predictor of intraperitoneal free cancer cells and peritoneal metastasis. Methods Peritoneal washings of 40 patients with gastric carcinoma were collected to detect CEA using FCM. The peritoneal lavage cytology examinations ( PLC)were detected by H-E staining. Results Laparoscopic surgery in patients with gastric cancer,before resection of gastric cancer the peritoneal washing CEA positive rate 35. 0% (14/40) ,and after operation, the positive rate was 40. 0% ( 16/40) .which was not significantly higher than that before operation ( P > 0. 05 ). After intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy the CEA positive rate was 7. 5% (3/40) ,which was significantly lower than that pre-operation(P<0. 05). Before operation there were 4 cases of positive PLC in the peritoneal lavage fluid, 14 CEA-positive detected by flow cytometry, and there was significant difference ( P < 0. 05 ) . All PLC-positive cases were positive for CEA, whereas 10 PLC-negative cases showed CEA-positive. None of CEA-negative cases showed PLC-positive. Conclusions Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy does not increase the intra-abdominal gastric cancer cell shedding. Intraoperative hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy is simple and feasible approach with high efficiency.Peritoneal washing CEA detected by flow cytometry is an effective index to predictor for intraperitoneal free cancer cells and prediction of peritoneal metastasis.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the detection of peritoneal free cancer cells and its clinical significance. Methods The peritoneal free cancer cells,the positive rates of CK20 protein and CK20 mRNA expressions of peritoneal lavage fluid were detected by peritoneal lavage cytology (PLC),flow cytometry (FCM) and real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR in 50 cases of gastric cancer patients,respectively. The sensitivity of three kinds of detection method to peritoneal free cancer cells was compared. Results The positive rates of peritoneal free cancer cells,CK20 protein and mRNA expression of peritoneal lavage fluid were 20.0% (10/50),36.0% (18/50) and 58.0% (29/50),respectively. The positive rate of CK20 mRNA expression detected by real-time fluorescencequantitative RT-PCR in peritoneal lavage fluid was significantly higher than those of the CK20 protein expression detected by FCM and peritoneal free cancer cells detected by PLC (P0.05). The positive rate of CK20 mRNA expression of peritoneal lavage fluid was related to the tumor invasion depth,differentiation degree,TNM stage,and lymph node metastasis (P
RESUMO
Objective To study the significance of repeated washing in reducing the positive rate of intra-abdominal exfoliated cancer cells. Methods Sequential intraoperative peritoneal lavages were performed in each of the 160 patients with gastric cancer one time before tumor resection,three times after excision.Four sub-peritoneal washing fluid was assayed for cytology smears with routine pathology.The results were then compared. Results Exfoliated tumor cells were positive in the intraoperative peritoneal lavages of 56 patients before resention.Exfoliated tumor cells were positive in the first three intraoperative peritoneal lavages of 64 patients before resention,42 at the second,3 at the third.Tumor cells positive and forward setting lotion shed after the first time,with the number of detected cases increased but had no significant statistical significance.Compaving the positive result of the 3rd exfoliated cancer cells with the first 1,we found that the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion Sequential intraoperative peritoneal lavages is an useful method in reducing the positive rate of peritoneal exfoliated tumor cells in patients with gastric cancer.
RESUMO
To investigate the expression and significance of CD28 and CTLA4 on T cells in bone marrow of aplastic anemia (AA) mice, in vitro bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) were activated through being incubated with PHA (15μg/mL). The expression of CD28 and CTLA4 on T cells incubated with or without PHA was detected by two-color flow cytometry. The expression of CD28 and CTLA4 was significantly increased after PHA stimulation. In the AA mice, the expression of CD28 with or without PHA stimulation was both higher than that in the normal mice (both P＜0.01), but the expression of CTLA4 with or without PHA stimulation showed no significant difference in comparison to that in the normal mice (both P＞0.05). In the AA mice, there were more activation and activated potential of T cells than the normal, and the abnormal expression of CD28 and CTLA4 may participate in immunological disorder mediated by T cells.
