RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study aimed to use MRI histogram analysis to routine MRI sequences to evaluate lumbar disc degeneration (LDD), illustrate the correlation between this novel method and the traditional Pfirrmann classification method, and more importantly, perform comprehensive agreement analysis of MRI histogram analysis in various situations to evaluate its objectivity and stability. METHODS: Lumbar MRI images from 133 subjects were included in this study. LDD was classified into grades by Pfirrmann classification and was measured as peak separation value by MRI histogram analysis. Correlation analysis between the two methods was performed and cutoff values were determined. In addition, the agreement analysis of peak separation value was performed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in four scenarios, including inter-resolution, inter-observer, inter-regions of interest (ROI) and inter-slice. RESULTS: Peak separation values were strongly correlated with Pfirrmann grades (r = - 0.847). The inter-resolution agreements of peak separation value between original image resolution of 2304 × 2304 and compressed image resolutions (1152 × 1152, 576 × 576, 288 × 288) were good to excellent (ICCs were 0.916, 0.876 and 0.822), except 144 × 144 was moderate (ICC = 533). The agreements of inter-observer (ICC = 0.982) and inter-ROI (ICC = 0.915) were excellent. Compared with the mid-sagittal slice, the inter-slice agreements were good for the first adjacent slices (ICCs were 0.826 and 0.844), and moderate to good for the second adjacent slices (ICC = 0.733 and 0.753). CONCLUSION: MRI histogram analysis, used in routine MRI sequences, demonstrated a strong correlation with Pfirrmann classification and good agreements in various scenarios, expanding the range of application and providing an effective, objective and quantitative tool to evaluate LDD.

Ephrin Type-A Receptor 3 (EphA3) and Ephrin Type-B Receptor 6 (EphB6) belong to the ephrin receptor group consisting of the largest subset of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and are essential for neurogenesis and embryogenesis. The current study aimed to evaluate their functional roles in transforming colorectal epithelial cells and dissect the underlying molecular mechanisms. We observed altered EphA3 and EphB6 expression in tumor tissues as compared to normal tissues in a tissue microarray study. Enforced EphB6 expression promoted IMCE cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and tumor formation in nude mice, with a stronger oncogenic activity than EphA3. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes from a gene microarray study provided important insight into potential mechanisms through which EphB6 may regulate the malignant transformation of colorectal epithelial cells. This study represents the first demonstration of EphB6 in enhancing colorectal epithelial cell transformation, suggesting its stipulative role in the early stage of colorectal tumorigenesis. Our findings primarily uncover novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains both common and fatal, and its successful treatment is greatly limited by the development of stem cell-like characteristics (stemness) and chemoresistance. MiR-30-5p has been shown to function as a tumor suppressor by targeting the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway, but its activity in CRC has never been assessed. We hypothesized that miR-30-5p exerts anti-oncogenic effects in CRC by regulating the USP22/Wnt/ß-catenin signaling axis. In the present study, we demonstrate that tissues from CRC patients and human CRC cell lines show significantly decreased miR-30-5p family expression. After identifying the 3'UTR of USP22 as a potential binding site of miR-30-5p, we constructed a luciferase reporter containing the potential miR-30-5p binding site and measured the effects on USP22 expression. Western blot assays showed that miR-30-5p decreased USP22 protein expression in HEK293 and Caco2 CRC cells. To evaluate the effects of miR-30-5p on CRC cell stemness, we isolated CD133 + CRC cells (Caco2 and HCT15). We then determined that, while miR-30-5p is normally decreased in CD133 + CRC cells, miR-30-5p overexpression significantly reduces expression of stem cell markers CD133 and Sox2, sphere formation, and cell proliferation. Similarly, we found that miR-30-5p expression is normally reduced in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistant CRC cells, whereas miR-30-5p overexpression in 5-FU resistant cells reduces sphere formation and cell viability. Inhibition of miR-30-5p reversed the process. Finally, we determined that miR-30-5p attenuates the expression of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling target genes (Axin2 and MYC), Wnt luciferase activity, and ß-catenin protein levels in CRC stem cells.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Two major barriers to the successful treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) are the development of stem cell-like characteristics (stemness) and chemoresistance. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) is a deubiquitinating enzyme and putative CRC marker that has emerged as a potential cause of both phenomena in CRC. There is evidence that USP22 acts through the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway and that downregulation of the latter may reduce chemoresistance. METHODS: In this study, we used CRC tissue specimens from human patients as well as human CRC cell lines to evaluate the role of USP22 in CRC stemness and chemoresistance in vitro and in vivo. RT-PCR and western blot were used for gene expression analyses. Immunohistochemistry was performed for USP22 expression in clinical samples. CD133 levels were analyzed by flow cytometry. Sphere formation and MTT assays were used for self-renewal and proliferation analysis. Chemoresistance was evaluated by cell viability and sphere formation assays. RESULTS: We found a significant increase of USP22 in recurrent CRC and chemoresistant CRC cells as compared to primary CRC and non-chemoresistant CRC cells, respectively. We then demonstrated that USP22 mediates CRC cell chemoresistance through the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway and that reducing USP22 in CRC cells diminishes chemoresistance. CONCLUSIONS: Having established the crucial role of USP22 in CRC stemness and chemoresistance, this study suggests that USP22 may be an ideal genetic target in the treatment of chemoresistant CRC.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare short-term clinical outcomes of ileocolonic functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA) and end-to-side anastomosis (ESA) following resection of the right colon for cancer. METHODS: We enrolled 379 patients who underwent ileocolonic anastomosis following resection of the right colon for cancer by a single surgeon, from January 2009 through June 2012. Patient characteristics, operative results, and postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 164 patients received ESA and 215 patients received FEEA. The FEEA group had a lower incidence of anastomotic error (0.9% versus 4.3%; P = 0.04) and a shorter operating time (140.4 ± 14.9 min versus 150.5 ± 20.1 min; P = 0.001). The length of hospital stay (10.9 ± 3.5 days versus 11.3 ± 4.0 days; P = 0.36) and anastomotic leakage (1.8% versus 0.5%; P = 0.20) were similar in both groups. No relevant differences between FEEA and ESA were observed for blood loss, retrieved lymph nodes, first flatus and postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: An FEEA after right hemicolectomy for colon cancer is a safe and reliable anastomotic technique, resulting in a favorable outcome in selected patients with the right colon cancer.

BACKGROUND: Although the recommended minimal examined lymph node (ELN) number in rectal cancer (RC) is 12, this standard remains controversial because of insufficient evidence. We aimed to refine this definition by quantifying the relationship between ELN number, stage migration and long-term survival in RC. METHODS: Data from a Chinese multi-institutional registry (2009-2018) and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2008-2017) on stages I-III resected RC were analysed to determine the relationship between ELN count, stage migration, and overall survival (OS) using multivariable models. The series of odds ratios (ORs) for negative-to-positive node stage migration and hazard ratios (HRs) for survival with more ELNs were fitted using a Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing (LOWESS) smoother, and structural breakpoints were determined using the Chow test. The relationship between ELN and survival was evaluated on a continuous scale using restricted cubic splines (RCS). RESULTS: The distribution of ELN count between the Chinese registry ( n =7694) and SEER database ( n =21 332) was similar. With increasing ELN count, both cohorts exhibited significant proportional increases from node-negative to node-positive disease (SEER, OR, 1.012, P <0.001; Chinese registry, OR, 1.016, P =0.014) and serial improvements in OS (SEER: HR, 0.982; Chinese registry: HR, 0.975; both P <0.001) after controlling for confounders. Cut-point analysis showed an optimal threshold ELN count of 15, which was validated in the two cohorts, with the ability to properly discriminate probabilities of survival. CONCLUSIONS: A higher ELN count is associated with more precise nodal staging and better survival. Our results robustly conclude that 15 ELNs are the optimal cut-off point for evaluating the quality of lymph node examination and stratification of prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate effect of the treatments and prognostic factors of patients with pulmonary metastasis from colorectal cancer. METHODS: Clinical data of 79 patients who suffered from lung metastatic diseases from colorectal cancer in 1990 - 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The number of patients who had received lung operation was 22, and non-operated group contained 57 patients. Compared the prognosis of operated group and non-operated group and analyzed the prognostic factors. RESULTS: The median survival time after the pulmonary resections was 34.5 months; the overall survival of 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 90.9%, 45.4% and 4.5%, and the overall of 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate in non-operated group were 59.6%, 14.0% and 0. The surgery (RR = 4.805, 95% CI: 1.864 - 12.384, P = 0.001) and the number of metastasis (RR = 2.177, 95% CI: 1.431 - 3.314, P = 0.010) were the factors that could influence the patients prognosis. CONCLUSION: The surgery for pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer is effective.

The pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multistep process characterized by the accumulation of gene mutations and epigenetic alterations. Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor-binding protein domain (ZRANB1) is a deubiquitinase that mediates tumor growth and metastasis by deubiquitinating target proteins. In this study, we examined the regulatory effects of ZRANB1 on the maintenance of cancer stem cell (CSC) properties and tumor growth in CRC. Human CRC tissue samples and matched normal tissues were collected for the analysis of ZRANB1 expression. ZRANB1 was upregulated in CRC human tissues and cell lines, and its expression was positively correlated with advanced tumor stage and poor survival of CRC patients. The overexpression of ZRANB1 also induced the expression of CSC markers in CRC cells. Then, a xenograft model was established by inoculating BALB/c mice with CRC cells. The upregulation of ZRANB1 promoted tumorigenesis in vivo. Sox9 is a transcription factor that acts as an oncogene in human cancers. ZRANB1 increased the stability of Sox9 in CRC cells by decelerating its ubiquitination. Further analysis revealed that Sox9 regulated the transcription activity of USP22 by binding to its promoter. Moreover, ZRANB1 enhances stem-cell-like features of CRC cells and activated the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway through USP22. Our results highlighted the role of ZRANB1 as a molecular target for CRC treatment, which may contribute to the development of novel therapies with better efficacy.

Objective: To compare surgical outcomes of C2 dome-like laminectomy with C2 partial laminectomy in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) up to the C2 level and above. Methods: 32 patients underwent surgical treatment for OPLL up to C2 and were divided into: C2 dome-like laminectomy group (C2-DOM group, n = 16) and C2 partial laminectomy group (C2-PL group, n = 16). The cervical curvature (CCI), dura width at C2/3, Japanese orthopedic association (JOA) score, recovery rate (RR), neck disability index (NDI) score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were evaluated and compared preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. Results: The JOA score and NDI significantly improved at the final follow-up in both groups with no significant intergroup differences. There were no significant differences in preoperative dura width at C2/3 and VAS between the two groups. At the final follow-up, dura width at C2/3 in the C2-PL group was significantly larger than the C2-DOM group, while the VAS of C2-DOM group was significantly lower than C2-PL group. The CCI in both groups decreased compared with before surgery, and there was no significant difference in CCI between the two groups. Conclusion: C2-DOM is less demolitive and reduces postoperative neck pain, while C2-PL can achieve more adequate decompression without increasing the risk of postoperative cervical kyphosis.
RESUMO
The accurate detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) at its initial stage can reduce mortality. However, the broad application of endoscopy has been limited due to the invasive procedure and patient noncompliance. Liquid biopsy with subsequent mapping of methylation in specific cell-free DNA (cfDNA) may represent an alternative approach for early diagnosis. In this study, we have developed a minimal-invasive blood-based test for detection of precancerous lesions and early-stage CRC. Using TCGA M450K methylation data, we identified candidate methylation sites with the highest Fold Change (FC) for three genes (SEPTIN9, SDC2 and VIM), which were selected from previous studies. Based on logistic regression models, we developed a 3-gene methylation signature for CRC diagnosis with high accuracy (Sensitivity =0.959, Specificity =1, AUC =0.997). Using independent public databases and data from blood samples, this model has demonstrated superior performance. The AUC was 0.919-1 and 0.905-0.916 in public tissue database for CRC and blood sample data, respectively. Thus, our proposed 3-gene methylation signature has a more reliable performance than other methods. Furthermore, signal enhancement effect of 3-gene methylation signature can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis for CRC, which demonstrates the potential for clinical application.
RESUMO
Endothelial injury is regarded as the initial pathological process in diabetic vascular diseases, but effective therapy has not yet been identified. Although ß-hydroxybutyrate plays various protective roles in the cardiovascular system, its ability to antagonize diabetic endothelial injury is unclear. ß-hydroxybutyrate reportedly causes histone H3K9 ß-hydroxybutyrylation (H3K9bhb), which activates gene expression; however, there has been no report regarding the role of H3K9bhb in up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a crucial factor in endothelial integrity and function. Here, male Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin to induce diabetes, and then treated with different concentrations of ß-hydroxybutyrate. After 10 weeks, body weight, blood glucose, morphological changes and serum nitric oxide concentration were examined. Moreover, the mRNA expression level, protein content and distribution of VEGF in the aorta were investigated, as were total protein ß-hydroxybutyrylation and H3K9bhb contents. The results showed injury of aortic endothelium, along with reductions of the concentration of nitric oxide and generation of VEGF in diabetic rats. However, ß-hydroxybutyrate treatment attenuated diabetic injury of the endothelium and up-regulated the generation of VEGF. Furthermore, ß-hydroxybutyrate treatment caused marked total protein ß-hydroxybutyrylation and significant elevation of H3K9bhb content in the aorta of diabetic rats. The ability of ß-hydroxybutyrate to protect against diabetic injury of the aortic endothelium was greatest for its intermediate concentration. In conclusion, moderately elevated ß-hydroxybutyrate could antagonize aortic endothelial injury, potentially by causing H3K9bhb to promote generation of VEGF in diabetic rats.

A metal-free approach to benzazoles from arylmethyl chlorides and 2-mercaptan/2-hydroxyanilines using elemental sulfur as a traceless oxidizing agent has been developed. The reactions proceeded in good to excellent yields, exhibiting good functional groups tolerance and gram-scale ability. A key mechanistic investigation indicated that the key intermediate trisulfide 6, which was characterized by NMR, HRMS and crystal X-ray crystallography, was separated in the reaction prior to the formation of the product.
RESUMO
Ephrin Type-A Receptor 3 (EphA3) belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein tyrosine kinase family, and plays an important role in embryogenesis and neurogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the role of EphA3 in promoting malignant transformation of colorectal epithelial cells, and explore underlying molecular mechanisms. Colorectal cancer tissue specimens from 68 patients were analyzed for EphA3 expression. EphA3 expression levels were manipulated in rat colon epithelial cell lines. We found that EphA3 expression level in tumor tissues was associated with patient age (P = 0.015), tumor differentiation (P = 0.001), and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.039). Overexpression of EphA3 and its constitutively active mutants promoted colony formation, migration and invasion, and tumorigenicity of colon epithelial cells in nude mice. The cDNA and lncRNA microarray profiling data revealed that differentially expressed genes and lncRNAs in EphA3 or mutant-transfected cells were associated with cell proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis. Our findings reveal the mechanisms underlying the oncogenic activities of EphA3 in colorectal cells, which could provide novel targets for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of colorectal cancer.

The elderly colon cancer (CC) patients are increasing and represent a heterogeneous patient group. The objectives of this study were to identify the features of lymph node examination and to explore the optimal minimum lymph node count after CC resection for patients aged ≥80. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we identified 65719 CC patients in stage I-III between 2004 and 2012, 26.0% of patients were aged ≥80. The median node count decreased with increasing age, which were 25.5, 20.2, 17.8 and 16.9 for patients aged 20-39, 40-59, 60-79, and ≥80. The rate of ≥12 nodes and the rate of node positivity for patients aged ≥80 were obviously lower than younger patients. Using X-tile analysis, we determined 9 nodes as the optimal node count for patients aged ≥80. Then, we compared the 5-year cancer specific survival (CSS) between patients with ≥9 nodes and <9 nodes. The results showed the 5-year CSSs were improved for patients with ≥9 nodes. Furthermore, the rate of node positivity and survival under the 9-node measure were equal to 12-node measure. Therefore, the lymph node examination should be discriminately evaluated for elder patients, and 9-node measure was available for patients aged ≥80.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic factors of colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis in order to provide reference for clinical practice. METHODS: Clinicopathological and follow-up data of 264 cases of colorectal liver metastasis in our department from January 1997 to January 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Among these 264 patients, 217 underwent primary colorectal cancer resection, 33 underwent combined resection of primary colorectal lesion plus liver metastasis, and 14 received stoma creation alone. Besides, 197 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy, 14 received adjuvant radiotherapy, and 42 underwent interventional treatment. Clinicopathological features and treatment scheme affecting prognosis were analyzed and prognostic stratification analysis was performed according to emergence time of liver metastasis (synchronous or metachronous). RESULTS: Of 264 patients, 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 77.0%, 31.7%, and 14.0%; median survival time was 25 months; 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of synchronous colorectal liver metastasis were 68.8%, 22.3%, and 7.7%; 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of metochronous colorectal liver metastasis were 95.8%, 49.0%, and 21.3%, whose difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that primary tumor differentiation, CEA level, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radical resection were independent prognostic factors of colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis (all P<0.05), while primary tumor differentiation, CEA level, and radical resection were independent prognostic factors of synchronous liver metastasis (all P<0.05), and primary tumor location and CEA level were independent prognostic factors of metachronous liver metastasis (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Radical operation and adjuvant chemotherapy should be emphasized for colorectal liver metastasis, especially for synchronous colorectal liver metastasis. Simple resection of primary tumor can not improve the overall survival of patients with colorectal liver metastasis.

The surgical approach for rectal cancer includes trans-abdominal and transanal excision. Total mesorectal excision(TME) is the golden standard for surgical treatment. In the functional surgery era, more and more evidence shows that under strict indications, traditional abdominal radical surgery and transanal excision can achieve similar survival in patients with early stage cancer. However, the local recurrence rate of local resection was significantly higher compared to TME, suggesting strict patients selection for transanal excision. Preoperative accurate evaluation is critical in clinical practice.
