ABSTRACT
Lung cancer is currently one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. The occurrence and development of lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), are closely related to the abnormal expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). lncRNA with a transcript of more than 200 nucleotides is involved in chromatin modification, transcription activation, transcription interference and other regulatory processes, and has varying degrees of regulation on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells. It is characterized by up-regulation or down-regulation of expression. At present, there are a large number of studies on lncRNA, because lncRNA has considerable application prospects in the diagnosis, clinical treatment, drug resistance research and prognosis evaluation of NSCLC. In this paper, the overview of lncRNA, the up-regulation or down-regulation of NSCLC-related lncRNA expression, NSCLC clinical treatment and drug-resistant lncRNA were summarized.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of early gastroscopy for patients with hypopharyngeal cancer.Methods:A total of 231 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer diagnosed and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2010 to December 2014 were included in the retrospective analysis. The 5-year survival rate of hypopharyngeal cancer and patients accompanied with synchronous esophageal cancer (including early and advanced esophageal cancer), as well as the detection rate of synchronous esophageal cancer by gastroscopy and systemic PET-CT examination were statistically analyzed.Results:The 5-year survival rate of hypopharyngeal cancer was 38.96% (90/231). The 5-year survival rates of 62 patients accompanied with synchronous esophageal cancer and 169 patients without were 27.42% (17/62) and 43.20% (73/169), respectively, with statistic difference ( χ2=4.747, P=0.029). The 5-year survival rate of 49 patients accompanied with synchronous early esophageal cancer was 30.69% (17/49). Among the 13 patients with synchronous progressive esophageal cancer, none had a survival period of 5 years, which was significantly different compared with the patients with synchronous early esophageal cancer ( P=0.013). The detection rates of synchronous esophageal carcinoma by gastroscopy and by systemic PET-CT were 26.84% (62/231) and 14.29% (33/231), respectively, with statistic difference ( χ2=11.14, P<0.01). The detection rates of synchronous early esophageal carcinoma by gastroscopy and by systemic PET-CT were 21.21% (49/231) and 8.66% (20/231), respectively, and the difference was also statistically significant ( χ2=14.328, P<0.01). Conclusion:Hypopharyngeal cancer accompanied with synchronous esophageal cancer is of high risk, which affects the survival rate of patients. Early gastroscopy in hypopharyngeal cancer patients can significantly improve the detection rate of synchronous esophageal cancer, which helps to design individualized regimen to improve the survival rate of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the efficacy of dental floss traction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric angle mucosal lesions.Methods:Data of 127 patients with gastric angle mucosal lesions admitted to the endoscopic center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical methods, patients were divided into the dental floss traction-assisted ESD group (the traction group, n=51) and the traditional ESD group (the traditional group, n=76). The 41 fibrosis cases were further divided into the traction group (n=23) and the traditional group (n=18). The operation time, en block resection rate, curative resection rate and the incidence of adverse events such as bleeding, muscle layer injury and perforation were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in age, sex, lesion size or morphology between the traction group and the traditional group ( P > 0.05). The operation time of the traction group was significantly shorter than that of the traditional group (65.4±36.5 min VS 103.5±43.2 min, P=0.012). The en block resection rate was higher in the traction group [100.00% (51/51) VS 90.79% (69/76), P=0.026], and the curative resection rate was higher too [94.12% (48/51) VS 81.58% (62/76), P=0.042]. The incidences of muscular layer damage [5.88% (3/51) VS 25.00% (19/76), P=0.010] and intraoperative bleeding [47.06% (24/51)VS 82.89% (63/76), P=0.010] were lower in the traction group. Perforation occurred in two patients (2.63%) of fibrosis in the traditional group; no perforation occurred in the traction group. There was no significant difference in the perforation incidence ( P=0.243). In the cases of fibrosis, the operation time of the traction group was significantly shorter compared with that of the traditional group (81.4±29.3 min VS 119.3±37.6 min, P=0.010). The en block resection rate and curative resection rate were also higher in the traction group [100.00% (23/23) VS 72.22% (13/18), P=0.007; 95.65% (22/23) VS 72.22% (13/18), P=0.035]. The incidences of muscular layer damage [8.70% (2/23) VS 72.22% (13/18), P=0.001] and intraoperative bleeding [78.26% (18/23) VS 100.00% (18/18), P=0.035] were lower in the traction group. Conclusion:The dental floss traction-assisted ESD is safe and effective for gastric angle mucosal lesions and fibrotic lesions, with shorter operation time, higher curative resection rate and lower incidence of adverse events.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The complex relationship between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and cancers severely limit the clinical application of mesenchymal stem cels. So it is urgent to study the role of mesenchymal stem cels in tumor growth and metastasis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels on epithelial mesenchymal transition in non-smal cel lung cancer A549 and PAa cels. METHODS:The A549 and PAa cels were cultured with mesenchymal stem cel supernatant (mesenchymal stem cel conditioned medium, MSCs-CM). The celular morphology was observed under a microscope. The mRNA and protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Slug, Snail, and Twist were determined by RT-PCR and western blot. Transwel and wound healing assay were used to detect the change of migration and metastatic ability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the celular morphology of experimental group showed mesenchymal-like changes. In response to MSCs-CM, there was decreased E-cadherin but increased N-cadherin, Vimentin and Slug, Snail, Twist at mRNA and protein levels compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The migration and metastatic abilities of the experimental group were also increased. So, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can promote epithelial mesenchymal transition in A549 and PAa cels, and enhance the migration and metastatic abilities of A549 and PAa cels.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feasibility and efifcacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (GI-NENs).Methods 52 patients with conifrmed histological diagnosis of GI-NENs performed ESD from January 2011 to December 2015 were included. The endoscopic morphology of tumor was summarized. Complete resection rate, complications, clinicopathological characteristics, and follow-up results were evaluated.Results There were 16 cases of stomach, 9 cases of colon and rectum 27 cases. Most of the lesions were submucosal uplift. A few of lesions looked like polyps. All the lesions were one-time whole diseased. 44 lesions were NET-G1, 8 lesions were NET-G2. Complete resection rate was 94.23%. 2 cases of rectal lesions infringemented intrinsic muscle layer, and got additional surgery. 1 case of rectal perforation, which was managed by endoscopic treatment and conservative treatment. All cases did not appear haemorrhage. During a mean follow-up period of 22.6 months, local recurrences occurred in 1 case of stomach, and treated with second line ESD. No cases lymph node and distant metastasis were found.Conclusion ESD appears to be a feasible, safe and effective treatment for GI-NENs with strict endoscopic treatment indications.
