Application and prospect of cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in China, and its incidence is increasing with years. As the second most common metastatic site of colorectal cancer, peritoneum is difficult to diagnose early and with a poor prognosis. Systemic intravenous chemotherapy was used as the main treatment strategy for peritoneal metastasis in the past, but its systemic toxic and side effects were obvious, and it could not effectively control tumor progression. In recent years, the continuous development of surgical techniques, concepts, and equipment, as well as the introduction of new chemotherapy drugs and targeted drugs have significantly improved the quality of life and prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can effectively eradicated the intraperitoneal free cancer cells and subclinical lesions, while reducing systemic side effects of chemotherapy drugs, and achieve the radical cure of the tumor at the macro and micro levels to the greatest extent. It has been used as the first-line treatment program for peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer at home and abroad. This article focuses on the analysis and summary of the survival efficacy, prognostic factor analysis, and chemotherapy safety of CRS+ HIPEC in the treatment of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis. The existing problems and controversies of HIPEC therapy are discussed simultaneously.

Effects of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction on IRS-1 Expression and Tyrosine Phosphorylation Level in Skeletal Muscles of the Rats with Insulin Resistance / 中医杂志

Objective:To observe effects of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction on expression of insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS-1)and the level of tyrosine phosphorylation in skeletal muscles to explore the molecular mechanism in improving insulin resistance.Methods:Wistar system insulin resistance model rats were developed with injection of small dose of streptozotocin into the caudal vein plus feeding by forage with high sugar and high lipids,and they were treated with Huanglian Jiedu Decoction for 10 weeks.Then blood sugar and serum insulin level were determined,and the changes of IRS-1 protein expression and tyrosine phosphorylation level in the skeletal muscles of the rat with insulin resistence after treatment of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction were detected with immuno- precipitation and Western Blot methods.Results:After treatment with Huanlian Jiedu Decoction,IRS-1 expression and IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation level in the muscular tissue increased as compared with those of the model group.Conclusion Huanglian Jiedu Decoction improves IRS-1 protein expression and tyrosine phosphorylation level in the skeletal muscle tissue of the rats with insulin resistance,which is possibly one of the mechanisms of decreasing blood sugar and improving sensitivity of insulin in tissues.
