ObjectiveTo analyze the expression of Hsa-miR-29c in gastric cancer and its mechanism of action, and to explore its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of gastric cancer patients.MethodsTheoverexpression of Hsa-miR-29c in gastric cancer cell lines of MKN28 and MKN45 were established by lentivirus transfection (transfection group), and the control group of empty lentivirus (negative control group) was established. The expressions of Hsa-miR-29c in cells of the two groups after transfection were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the proliferation and clonogenesis of cells in the two groups were detected by CCK-8 and plate cloning. The expression of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ), smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the two groups were detected by Western blot. qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of Hsa-miR-29c in 70 gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues respectively, and then analyzed its relationship with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of gastric cancer.ResultsThe stable expression of Hsa-miR-29c gastric cancer cell line was successfully constructed in this research, the expression of Hsa-miR-29c in the transfection group was significantly higher than that in the negative control group (P<0.05). The proliferation and clone forming ability of MKN28 and MKN45 cells in the transfection group were significantly lower than those in the negative control group (P<0.05). Compared with the negative control group, the expression of Col Ⅰ and TIMP-1 in MKN28 and MKN45 cells were increased after transfection, while the expression levels of ECM1, α-SMA, and MMP-2 were significantly decreased, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). The expression level of Hsa-miR-29c in gastric cancer tissues was significantly lower than that of adjacent tissues (P<0.05), and the positive expression rate was not related to age, sex, and pathological type (P>0.05), but related to tumor size, TNM stage, tumor differentiation, and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The mean survival time (MST) of patients with negative expression of Hsa-miR-29c was significantly shorter than that of patients with positive expression (P=0.029).ConclusionsHsa-miR-29c is down expressed in gastric cancer, and is related to the clinical characteristics and prognosis of it. The overexpression of Hsa-miR-29c can inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling pathway.
目的 探討HIF-1α和BAK蛋白在胃癌中的表達情況,以及二者在胃癌中的相互關系及作用。方法 應用免疫組化SABC染色法檢測80例胃癌組織和20例正常胃組織中的HIF-1α和BAK蛋白的表達情況。結果 胃癌中HIF-lα和BAK蛋白的表達陽性率分別為56.3%(45/80)和67.5%(54/80),而在胃正常組織中分別為5.0%(1/20)和20.0%(4/20),二者在胃癌中的表達顯著高于胃正常組織,其差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。HIF-1α蛋白表達與胃癌組織的浸潤范圍、分化程度及淋巴結轉移有關(P<0.05),與臨床分期、年齡及性別無關(P>0.05);BAK蛋白表達與胃癌浸潤及分化程度相關(P<0.05),與淋巴結轉移、臨床分期、年齡及性別無關(P>0.05)。胃癌組織中HIF-1α與BAK蛋白的陽性表達之間呈正相關(列聯系數r=0.056,P<0.05)。結論 HIF-1α與BAK蛋白在胃癌的臨床分期及浸潤轉移中存在關系,這對于研究胃癌的發生和發展,以及對于探索以二者為靶點的抗腫瘤治療有重要意義。
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the relationship between expression of CD44v6 in gastric carcinoma and neoplasm metastasis and prognosis. MethodsExpression of CD44v6 in 52 cases of gastric carcinoma was assayed by flow immunocytometry, and its relation with clinical pathology and prognosis was analyzed. ResultsIn 52 cases of gastric carcinoma tissue, the positive rate of CD44v6 expression was 67.31%(35/52); but the positive rate of CD44v6 expression in normal gastric tissue was 25.00% (13/52). The positive rate of expression was significantly different (P<0.01). The positive rate of CD44v6 expression in gastric carcinoma tissues was related to the depth of carcinoma infiltration, lymph node metastasis and pTNM stage (P<0.05). ConclusionExpression of CD44v6 plays an important role in invasion, metastasis and pTNM stage of gastric carcinoma. It may be used as a new indicator to predict metastatic potential and prognosis of gastric carcinoma.
Objective To provide a current language for clinical and pathological discription of gastric cancer. Methods The literature in recent years on the distribution of lymph nodes and staging of gastric cancer were reviewed. Results The lymph nodes of gastric cancer are distributed near the blood vessel and organs of gastric milieu. To ensure radical gastrectomy rational and scientific, the anatomic structure of gastric milieu should be familiarized. Conclusion The excellent outcome of surgery will be achieved by the effective dissection and removel of lymph nodes in gastric cancer.
Objective To discussion the diagnostic significance of CT three dimension reconstruction in local recurrence after surgery for gastric cancer. Methods Thirty-nine patients with gastric cancer recurrence after radical surgery were performed multislice CT scan between December 2004 and December 2008 in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, and the images were reconstructed by three dimension reconstruction in workstation. The axial CT images and three dimension images of gastric cancer recurrence patients were diagnosed and compared. Results The detection rates of axial images and three dimensional CT images were 82.1% (23/28) and 100% (28/28) for pathological morphology, 62.5% (10/16) and 93.8%(15/16) for extension of tumors, 66.7% (10/15) and 93.3% (14/15) for lymph node metastasis, 87.5% (7/8) and 87.5% (7/8) for distant metastasis, respectively. Conclusions CT three dimension reconstruction can carry out more direct and solid results, such as measuring the vertical thickness of the thickened gastric wall, observing the infiltration situation with proximal organ, and metastasis of the lymph node. The method of three dimension reconstruction used for the diagnosis of local recurrence after surgery for gastric cancer is better than the axial image, and it can supply data which would be useful for the tumor advancing treatment.

Objective To assess safety and feasibility of laparoscopic gastrectomy in the elderly with gastric cancer. Methods From January 2010 to September 2014, 146 elderly (age ≥65 years old) patients with gastric cancer underwent radical operations in the Department of General Surgery, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences and Guangdong General Hospital were collected, then were divided into a laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy (LAG group, n=40) and an open radical gastrectomy (OG group, n=106) according to the operative mode. The differences of intraoperative and postoperative situation, and the postoperative complications were analyzed between the LAG group and the OG group. Results ① The age, gender, body mass index, albumin, ASA grade, tumor location, differentiation degree, TNM stage, radical gastrectomy, and digestive tract anastomosis had no significant differences between the LAG group and the OG group (P>0.05). ② None of the patients died during the operative period and there was no significant difference in the mean number of retrieved lymph nodes between these two groups (P>0.05). In the aspects of the intraoperative blood loss, the first flatus time or the first feeding time, and the postoperative hospitalization stay in the LAG group were significantly less than those in the OG group (P<0.05). For the operative time, the OG group showed a distinctive advantage with a significantdifference than the LAG group (P<0.05). ③ The rate of postoperative complication in the LAG group and OG group was 10.0% (4/40) and 15.1% (16/106) respectively, and the difference was not significant (χ2=0.64, P=0.591), the grade of the Clavien-Dindo complications had no significant difference (χ2=0.63, P=0.592). ④ None of the patients died following operation in the LAG group and one case died in the OG group because of the respiratory and circulatory failure caused by the pulmonary embolism. Conclusion Preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that LAG in the elderly patients with gastric cancer could reduce intraoperative blood loss, shorten the first flatus time or the first feeding time, and postoperative hospitalization stay, could obtain same radical effect without increasing incidence of postoperative complications as compared with OG, so it is safety and feasible.
Objective To investigate the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the tumor cell port site implantation in laparoscopic surgery. Methods Male SpraqueDawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with gastric cancer cells (cell line SGC-7901). Continuous CO2 pneumo of 15 mm Hg or 30 mm Hg were established for 5 mins, 60 mins, 120 mins and 180 mins with the injection of different concentrations of tumor cells (104/ml, 106/ml respectively). Several samples of peritoneal washing served as positive control. All collecting dishes were incubated at 37℃ with 5% CO2 concentration for one week and then examined for the presence of tumor cell under microscope. Results After one week of incubation, some of the dishes with continuous flow of CO2 gas (5 L/min) at pneumo 30 mm Hg for 60 mins or longer demonstrated tumor growth, and all peritoneal washing samples showed tumor growth, while other dishes showed negative. Conclusion The research suggests that gastric cancer cells can cause port site implantation and the concentration of tumor cells, pneumoperitoneum pressure and duration may affect the occurrence of port site implantation. It may help to find a suitable way to prevent the port site implantation in operations.
