科学家和医生们对食物纤维与结肠癌风险之间的关系,已进行了20多年的研究,取得了许多研究成果,但也存在着一些争论。本文介绍了国外对此问题的研究方向、研究方法及其进展情况。     

Proteiomic patterns for endometrial cancer using SELDI-TOF-MS

Serum samples from endometrial cancer (EC) patients and healthy females were analyzed using surface-enhanced laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) to discover the potential diagnostic biomarker for detection of EC. A preliminary training set of spectra derived from 40 EC patients and 30 healthy women were used to develop a proteomic model that effectively discriminated cancer patients from healthy women. The training set had a specificity of 100% and sensitivity of 92.5% in the EC detection. A blind test set, including 20 new cancer cases and 10 healthy women, was used to validate the sensitivity and specificity of this multivariate model, which had a corresponding results of 60% in specificity and 75% in sensitivity, respectively. The combination of SELDI-TOF-MS with bioinformatics tools could help find new biomarkers and establish the detection of EC with high sensitivity and specificity.

Status and Interrelationship of Zinc,Copper, Iron,Calcium and Selenium in Prostate Cancer

Deficiency or excess of certain trace elements has been considered as risk factor for prostate cancer. This study was aimed to detect differential changes and mutual correlations of selected trace elements in prostate cancer tissue versus benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue. Zinc, copper, iron, calcium and selenium were analysed in histologically proven 15 prostate cancer tissues and 15 benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Unpaired two tailed t test/Mann–Whitney U test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to compare the level of trace elements, elemental ratios and their interrelations. As compared to benign prostatic tissue, malignant prostatic tissue had significantly lower selenium (p = 0.038) and zinc (p = 0.043) concentrations, a lower zinc/iron ratio (p = 0.04) and positive correlation of selenium with zinc (r = 0.71, p = 0.02) and iron (r = 0.76, p = 0.009). Considerably divergent interrelationship of elements and elemental ratios in prostate cancer versus benign prostatic hyperplasia was noted. Understanding of differential elemental changes and their interdependence may be useful in defining the complex metabolic alterations in prostate carcinogenesis with potential for development of element based newer diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic strategies. Further studies may be needed to elucidate this complex relationship between trace elements and prostate carcinogenesis.     

Survivin在乳腺癌及大肠癌中表达的临床意义

目的：探讨大肠癌、乳腺癌中生存素的临床意义。方法：收集大肠癌68例,乳腺癌69例,利用SABC免疫组织化学方法,检测Survivin表达状况。结果：大肠癌和乳腺癌中Survivin阳性率分别为63.24%和42.03%,Survivin在大肠癌低分化组和深浸润组阳性率明显高于浅浸润和高分化组;在浸润型乳腺癌组和有淋巴结转移组Survivin阳性率明显增高。结论：Survivin表达与癌组织生物学特性有关;检测癌组织中Sur-vivin表达可以提示预后及指导靶向治疗方案的制定。     

Distribution of H.pylori antigens in gastric mucosa and its significance

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) was grouped as a class I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 1994. A direct relation be-tween H.pylori infection and gastric carcinogenesis was demonstrated in 1998 in an experimental animal model (Watanabe et al., 1998). However, the role of H.pylori in human gastric carcinogenesis is sup-ported almost exclusively by epidemiological data and prospective histopathological studies. So far the mechanism of H.pylor…

白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒诱导非小细胞肺癌H1299细胞凋亡

目的实验以非小细胞肺癌H1299细胞(简称H1299细胞)为研究对象,主要探讨白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒对H1299细胞凋亡作用的影响以及进一步探讨其作用机制。方法在H1299细胞中导入野生型p53质粒,加入不同浓度的白藜芦醇,通过MTT法确定白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒的最佳作用浓度,并检测白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒对细胞增殖的影响;光镜下观察细胞形态学的变化;流式细胞术检测白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒对H1299细胞凋亡率的影响;RT-PCR实验方法检测细胞凋亡相关基因Bcl-2、Bax、Caspase3、Caspase9的表达水平。结果白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒能明显抑制H1299细胞的增殖,诱导H1299细胞凋亡,明显抑制Bcl-2基因的表达水平,促进Bax、caspase3、caspase9基因的表达水平。结论白藜芦醇联合野生型p53质粒能够明显抑制H1299细胞的增殖,可能通过促凋亡基因Bax、凋亡蛋白酶Caspase3,Cas?pase9的表达,抑制抑凋亡基因Bcl-2的表达,从而激活细胞中线粒体介导的凋亡通路,诱导H1299细胞凋亡。
