RESUMEN
Fibulin protein family is a class of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that are widely expressed in various tissues and plays an important role in the formation and stabilization of ECM. More and more studies have found that Fibulin protein family can play a role in tumor suppression or tumor promotion in different tumor tissues, which affects tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis and is closely related to tumor chemotherapy resistance. Furthermore, Fibulin protein family is expected to be the target of inhibiting and reversing tumor chemotherapy resistance. This article reviews the role, target and molecular mechanism of Fibulin protein family in tumor development, progression and chemotherapy resistance, aiming to find a new research direction for tumor chemotherapy resistance.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study is to examine the influence of familiarity on energy intake, eating behavior, and concentration of the plasma gut hormones in lean and overweight young male subjects.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-eight lean and twenty-eight overweight participants were recruited. Their food consumption was documented and analyzed when they had a test meal while they were paired with friends or strangers at the same weight stature. Their eating behavior was recorded with cameras hidden in the carton, and postprandial plasma gut hormone concentration were measured.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with overweight strangers (OS), overweight friends (OF) had increased food consumption, prolonged and decreased number of chews per 10 g food. Compared with OS, postprandial plasma concentration of cholecystokinin-8 was significantly lower in OF group at 30, 60, and 90 min, whereas the concentration of glucagon-like peptide 1 was significantly lower at 60 and 90 min. Plasma ghrelin concentration was significantly higher in the OF group than that in the OS group at 90 and 120 min. No significant differences in gut hormone concentration were observed between lean strangers (LS) and lean friends (LF) groups at all time points.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Familiarity plays an important role in increasing energy intake and in changing of postprandial gut hormone concentration in overweight individuals.</p>

RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the relationship of preoperative lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).@*Methods@#Clinical data of 364 cases of EOC patients with initial treatment were collected in Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from 2005-2011 and analyzed retrospectively.The optimal cut-off points of preoperative LMR to predict the postoperative survival period of EOC patients were determined by the establishment of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The patients were divided into low LMR group and high LMR group according to the optimal cut-off points, and the relationship of LMR and the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of EOC patients were analyzed.@*Results@#The best cut-off point of preoperative LMR to predict the postoperative survival period of EOC patients was 3.84. The preoperative LMR of EOC patients was significantly associated with the postoperative FIGO stage, ascites and CA125 level (all P<0.05). The median follow-up time was 37 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) time of low LMR group was 56 months, significantly shorter than 88 months of high LMR group (P<0.01). And the median overall survival (OS) time of low LMR group was 69 months, significantly shorter than 100 months of high LMR group (P<0.01). The univariate analysis showed that the postoperative FIGO stage, pathological grade, ascites, lymph node metastasis, CA125 level, adjuvant therapy, preoperative LMR were all significantly associated with PFS (all P<0.05). In addition, the age, postoperative FIGO stage, pathological grade, ascites, lymph node metastasis, CA125 level, adjuvant therapy, preoperative LMR were all significantly associated with OS (all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that postoperative FIGO stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, low differentiation, positive lymph node metastasis, without postoperative adjuvant therapy and LMR≤3.84were independent risk factors of PFS and OS of EOC patients (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The preoperative LMR is an independent influence factor of PFS and OS of EOC patients, and can be used to evaluate the prognosis of patients with EOC.

RESUMEN
Objective To study the value of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of cervical carcinoma. MethodsA clinical prospective study was carried out from Jan.1997 to Dec.2003,118 patients with cervical carcinoma were given two cycles of combined chemotherapy before operation(neoadjuvant chemotherapy group,group A).102 patients accepted surgery alone in our hospital from Jan.1997 to Dec.2003 were chosen as the comparison group(group B).Survival rate and complications were observed and analysed. Results5 year survival rate in group A was significantly higher than that in group B(P<0.01),The 5 year survival rate was significantly higher in group A than in group B,despite of different pathological types,with or without radiochemotherapy(P<0.05).The recurrent rate was lower in group A than that in group B,which show significant difference in the 5 year recurrent rate(P<0.05). ConclusionNeoadjuvant chemotherapy is an effective method for the treatment of cervical carcinoma in early stage.Because of satisfactory short-term control rate,excision rate,long-term survival rate and low recurrent and metastatic rate,neoadjuvant chemotherapy is worth popularizing in clinical treatment.
