      Abstract:Objective:To study the influential factors on metastatic lymph nodes ratio(MLR) and the relationships between MLR and prognosis.
      Methods:The clinical data of 121 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were analysed. The receiving operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to determine the cutoff of MLR and the CK20 immunihistochemical staining was used to detect the lymph nodes micrometastasis.
      Results:The area under the ROC curve of MLR to predict the death of patients at 3-year or 5-year postoperatively was 0.826±0.053 and 0.896±0.046, so MLR=30.95% and MLR=3.15% were selected as the cutoffs. Then the MLR was classified furthermore into three groups: MLR1(MLR<3.15%), MLR2(3.15%≤MLR≤30.95%) and MLR3(MLR>30.95%). The survival curve showed that the higher the MLR value the lower survival period after radical operation (P=0.000). COX model showed the MLR was an independent prognostic factor (P=0.000). The MLR also discriminated subsets of patients with different 5-year survivals the same N stage (P<0.05). The MLR proved to be 34.7%(242/697) by HE staining and 43.5%(303/697) by CK staining respectively (P=0.001). Thus, the detection of micrometastasis by CK staining changed the MLR significantly. The lymph vessel invasion and depth of invasion was significantly related to the MLR.
      Conclusions:The area under the ROC curve of MLR in predicting the death of patients at 3-or 5-years postoperatively is very large, and it seems to be a good way to determine the group cutoff. Therefore, the MLR seems to be meaningful parameter in detecting the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma. The detection of lymph nodes micrometastasis could change the MLR significantly.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the clinical value and significance of immunohistochemical(IHC) techniques and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing for detecting micrometastases of regional lymph nodes in patients with gastric cancer.
      Methods:A total of 1 835 lymph nodes taken from 85 patients with average of 21.7 nodes per case were detected by IHC and RT-PCR assay to detect cytokeratin 20 markers. Clinicopathologic parameters and prognosis were compared between patients with and without micrometastases.
      Results:The incidence of nodal micrometastases increased from 75.3% by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to 83.5% and 90.6% respectively by immunostaining and RT-PCR in 85 patients with gastric cancer.The presence of micrometastases was closely correlated with Lauren classification and tumor depth, but was not correlated with tumor site and size. The re-stage rate was 18.8% and 37.6% respectively by immunostaining and RT-PCR. Eighty-two patients were followed up at an average time of 21.2 months. Lymph nodal micrometastases seemed to be a little prognostic value in patients with gastric cancer.
      Conclusions:The present Results: indicate that immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR assay are useful tools for the detection of micrometastases in the patients with gastric cancer,and may be used to improve the staging system for gastric cancer, and also serve as the basis for decision of therapautic regimen.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the use of gastroscopy and CT for staging and clinical guiding to the surgical therapy of advanced gastric cancer. Methods:The preoperative gastroscopic and CT classification and the Results: of operative classfication of 182 cases of advanced gastric carcinoma were compared. Results:The resection rate for low and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma and mucinous carcinoma on gastroscopic biopsy was low (64.1%),and the rate for diffuse infiltrative gastric carcinoma (6.7%) was significantly lower than that of mass tumor type (66.7%) and ulcerative type (61.8%). The total accuracy rate of CT staging was 91.21%. Sensitivity rate of CT diagnosis of perigastric invasion and/or metastasis was 72.22%. For lymph node staging the accuracy rate of CT was 74.2%, sensitivity rate was 74.1% and specificity rate was 74.3%. CT diagnosis of lymph node groups was blur. Conclusions:Gastroscopy has an unreplaceable role in the final diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer and has significance for gross tumor grading, histologic biopsy diagnosis can be as a guide to dicide the treatment modality of advanced gastric cancer. CT has high degree of value for accuracy of clinical staging, and diagnosis of invasion of adjacent organs and lymph node metastasis. CT is superior to gastroscopy for judgement of resectability. Therefore, preoperative CT is a valuable guide for surgical treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

      Abstract:Objective:To observe the influence of CO2pnemumoperitoneum models on the growth and metastasis of seeded SGC-7901 cells in nude mice.
      Methods:The SGC-7901 cells suspension was injected into the peritoneal cavity of 27 nude mice(2×106 cells/mouse), then the mice were randomly divided into three groups (9 cases per group).Control (A) group,the mice was laparotomy only;and CO2 pnemumoperitoneum was established with pressure 5 mmHg (group B) and 8 mmHg (group C), the treatment time was 1 h. The control group underwent a midline incision,which was closed after 1 h. Four weeks later, all of the nude mice were killed,and the number of macroscopic abdominal cavity nodules,the total body weight, the mean max diameters and distributing ranges of tumor mass were observed and measured.The rate of viscera (liver, spleen, peritoneum and mesentery) metastasis was also recorded in each group, and the HpamRNA expression in tumor tissue was measured by RT-PCR。
      Results:The number of abdominal cavity nodules in each group was not significantly different (control group: 7.4±2.5, 5 mmHg group: 7.3±2.4, 8 mmHg group: 7.5±2.1. P>0.05). also the total body weight, the mean max diameters and distributing ranges of metastasis showed no difference between each group(P>0.05). The HpamRNA expression in gastric cancer tissues showed no significant difference in each subgroup(P>0.05).
      Conclusions:CO2 pnemumoperitoneum do not accelerate the SGC-7901 cells growth invasion and metastasis in vivo,also it had no significant effect on HpamRNA expression.

      Abstract:Objective:To study the protein and mRNA expressions of von Hipple-Lintau gene protein(VHL),hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and MV counts in the benign and malignant lesions of stomach and their clinicopathological significances.
      Methods:EnVisonTM immunohistochemistry was used for detecting the expression of VHL and HIF-1α and MV counts and in situ hybridization was used for assaying the expression levels of VHLmRNA and HIF-1amRNA in conventional paraffin-embedded sections from the specimens of gastric cancer (n=49), peritumoral tissues(n=20), lymph metastassis (n=36), and different types of benign lesions(n=80).
      Results:The positive expression rate of VHL protein and mRNA was significantly lower in gastric cancer, than that in peritumoral tissues and different types of benign lesions (P<0.05 or P<0.01),but experssion of HIF-1α protein and mRNA was the opposite (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The means of MV counts were significantly higher in gastric cancer than those in peritumoral tissues and different types of benign lesions(P<0.01).The negative cases of VHL protein and mRNA expression and/or positive cases of HIF-1α protein and mRNA expression in benign lesions and peritumoral tissues showed mild-to severely-atypical hyperplasia of muscous epithelia. No difference was found between the primary foci and metastatic foci of lymph node on the expressive levels of VHL HIF-1α protein and mRNA and MV counts (P>0.05).In gastric cancer the positive rates of HIF-1α protein and mRNA and the means MV counts were significantly lower in histologic grade Ⅱ,infiltrating depth T1+T2,no-metastasis of lymph node or distant organs than those in histologic grade Ⅲ+Ⅳ, infiltrating depth T3+T4, metastasis of lymph mode or distant organ, (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but the positive rate of VHL protein and mRNA was opposite to that of HIF-1α protein and mRNA (P<0.05). A high unconsistence was found between the expressive levels of VHL protein and HIF-1α protein and mRNA in gastric cancer tissues (χVHL=14.66,P<0.01,χVHLmRNA=6.74, P<0.05). The means of MV counts were significantly higher in the negative cases of VHL protein and mRNA or the positive ones of HIF-1α protein and mRNA than those in the positive cases of VHL protein and mRNA or the negative ones of HIF-1α protein and mRNA in gastric cancer tissues (P<0.01).
      Conclusions:The expression levels of VHL and HIF-1α and mRNA might be important biological markers for reflecting the carcinogenesis, progression, biological behaviors and prognosis of gastric cancer. They might exert a negative regulated effect on the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer.VHL might have inhibitive effects and HIF-1α and might have promotive effects on angiogenesis of gastric cancer.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the different chemosensitivity of lymph node metastases compared to the primary tumor in gastrointestinal cancers.
      Methods:In vitro MTT colorimetric assay was performed on surgical specimens of primary tumors(PTs) and lymph node metastases(LNMs) form 40 gastrointestinal cancer patients. The Results: were then compared with response to 9 antitumor drugs.
      Results:There was significantly different chemosensitivity to antitumor drugs between PTs and LNMs. The inhibition rates of tumor cells in LNMs for HCPT, L-OHP and CDDP were lower than those in PTs (all P<0.05); whereas the inhibition rate of tumor cell in LNMs for eADM, VP-16,and THP were higher than those in PTs (all P<0.05); howevre the chemosensitivity for 5-FU and PTX was equivalent in the two groups(all P>0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between the inhibition rates of PTs and LNMs for 5-FU, HCPT, L-OHP and THP(r=0.4142~0.5712, all P<0.05).
      Conclusions:Heterogeneity of chemosensitivity to antitumor drugs is present in LNMs and PTs of gastric and colorectal cancers. The chemosensitivity of primary gastrointestinal cancer in the histoculture drugs does not give a good indication of the chemosensitivity of metastatic lesions.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the target effect of cytosine deaminase genetherapy combined thermochemotherapy on liver metastasis of colon cancer in nude mice.
      Methods:Plasmid G1CEACDNa were transferred into the human colon cancer LoVo cells by liposomes method. The models of liver metastasis of colon cancer were established by injected LoVo-CEACD into peritonum in 45 BALB/C nude mice, then which were randomly divided into three groups: The control (C) group; the prodrug therapy (PDT) group and the prodrug thermochemotherapy (PDTCT group) and 42 ℃ sodium chloride,38 ℃ 5-FC and 42 ℃ 5-FC were injected into the abdominal cavity [500 mg/(kg·d),for 21 d], respectively. After natural death of all mice, their life span, rate of liver metastasis and number of liver metastasis nodules were surveyed and compared among the three groups. The levels of the expression of target gene were detected by RT-PCR in carcinoma tissue, normal liver, stomach,lung,pancreas,small intestine and large intestine tissues. Pathological features were observed. Apoptotic index (AI) of tumor cells were analyzed in every group respectively.
      Results:The CD gene was detected in the tumor tissues,but not in tissues of normal liver, stomach,lung,pancreas,small intestine and large intestine. In C,PDT and PDTCT group, the life span was (25.80±3.65),(34.27±4.08) and (41.87±3.91)d respectively; the rate of liver metastasis was 100.0%(15/15),40.0%(6/15) and 13.3%(2/15), respectively; the number of liver metastasis nodules was(2.93±1.16),(0.80±1.01) and (0.20±0.56), respectively; and AI of tumor cells was 4.59%,9.87%,17.4%, respectively. The life span of PDT and PDTCT guoup was significantly longer than that of group (P<0.05);the rate of liver matastasis and AI of tumor cells were obvious differences between the 3 groups.
      Conclusions:The CEA tissue-specific CD/5-FC system has an obvious target suppression on liver metastasis of colon cancer cell LoVo in nude mice.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the expression of heat shock protein 90β(HSP90β) in colon carcinoma tissues and HCT-8 cell line, and to investigate the relationship of HCT-8 cells to chemoresistance.
      Methods:The expression of HSP90 β in colon carcinoma tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and the relationship of HSP90β expression with the Dukes stage and pathological grade was analyzed, The medium effective concentration (IC50) of vincristine (VCR) to colon cancer parent cells HCT-8 and drug resistance cells HCT-8/VCR was detected by MTT method. The expression difference of HSP90βmRNA in of HCT-8 cells and HCT-8/VCR cells was detected by RT-PCR to investigate its relationship to the chemoresistance.
      Results:The positive expression rate of HSP90 β was higher in colon carcinoma tissues (41.67%) than non-cancerous colon tissues (16.67%) (P<0.05). The expression level of HSP90β was related to tumor differentiation grade (r=-0.8825, P<0.05), and was not related to Dukes stage (P>0.05). The drug resistance of HCT-8/VCR cell line to VCR was significantly higher than that of HCT-8 cell line (P<0.05). The content of HSP90βmRNA in drug resistance cells(0.955±0.03)was obviously higher than that in parent cells(0.835±0.029)(P<0.01).
      Conclusions:The expression level of HSP90 β in colon carcinoma is enhanced, which may be related to malignant transformation and chemoresistance,and might serve as a new therapeutic target for improving chemotherapy sensitivity of colon carcinoma.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the expression and effects of RSp1 and β-catenin in the intestinal epithelium with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI) in of mouse.
      Methods:Fifty healthy male kunming mice were randomly divided into control group(n=10)and experimental group (n=40). All mice in control group were only subjected to laparotomy, while the other mice underwent 20 minutes of intestinal mesenteric artery occlusion followed by 6 hours (group A),12 hours(group B), 24 hours(group C) and 48 hours(group D) of reperfusion. RT-PCR was used to detect RSpo1 and β-catenin in small intestine in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion groups and in control group.
      Results:The villous heights of intestinal in experimental groups were significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05~0.01).The varying trend of β-Catenin expression in experimental groups was the same as villous height,its expression was significantly weaker than that in control group(P<0.01),and increased gradually along with the reperfusion time. Compared with control group, RSpo1 expression decreased rapidly at 6h(P<0.05),then increased gradually at 12 h, reached the peak level at 24h(P<0.01)followed by rapid decrease and remained significantly lower than that in control group at 48h(P<0.05).
      Conclusions:Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury may inhibit β-catenin and RSpo1 expression in early stage, but it increase in middle stage. Both of them may be related with the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells and role an important part in the process of repair after mucosal damage.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of Crohn′s disease.
      Methods:We retrospectively analysed the clinical data,treatment and the follow-up result of 31 patients with Crohn′s disease.
      Results:The clinical manifestations of Crohn′s disease were variable, and preoperative diagnosis was made in only 9 cases in this group.In 12 cases with intestinal fiberscopy, there were only 5 cases correctly diagnosed.The 31 cases all had one or two operations, postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases, 1 case died,and 5 cases relapsed.
      Conclusions:The diagnostic rate of CD was low and the misdiagnostic rate was high before the operation.Doctors can determine accurately this disease based on the findings during operation.The treatment is by selecting a reasonable method of operation and systemic medication.
