Objective To study the necessity and feasibility of No.12b lymph node dissection in D2 lymphadenectomy for advanced distal gastric cancer, and the relation between No.12b lymph node metastasis and clinicopathologic factors. Methods Clinical data of sixty cases of advanced distal gastric cancer receiving D2 or D2+ radical correction were collected retrospectively, both of which were all plus No.12b lymph node dissections. The relationships between No.12b lymph node metastasis and clinicopathologic factors were analyzed. Results No death attributed to operation or severe operative complications were found. There were 12 cases (20.00%) with No.12b lymph node metastasis. The rates of No.12b lymph node metastasis in Borrmann Ⅲ-Ⅳ types, N2-3 of lymph node metastasis and T3-4 of tumor infiltration were 31.25% (10/32), 30.30% (10/33) and 29.73% (11/37), which were significantly higher than those in Borrmann Ⅰ-Ⅱ types 〔7.14% （2/28）〕, N0-1 〔7.41% （2/27）〕 and T1-2 〔4.35% （1/23）〕 respectively (Plt;0.05). There was no relationship between tumor size and No.12b lymph node metastasis. Conclusions No.12b lymph node dissection is safe and feasible for advanced distal gastric cancer. Further perspective studies on No.12b lymph node dissection influence on prognosis in more cases are required.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosyl transferase 3 (NMNAT3) on the mitochondrial function and anti-oxidative stress of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under oxidative stress in vitro by regulating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels.MethodsThe bone marrow of femur and tibia of New Zealand white rabbits were extracted. BMSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherent culture. The third generation cells were identified by flow cytometry and multi-directional induction. Overexpression of NMNAT3 gene was transfected into rabbit BMSCs by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) labeled lentivirus (BMSCs/Lv-NMNAT3-EGFP), and then the expression of NMNAT3 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot and cell proliferation by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method. BMSCs transfected with negative lentivirus (BMSCs/Lv-EGFP) and untransfected BMSCs were used as controls. The oxidative stress injury cell model was established by using H2O2 to treat rabbit BMSCs. According to the experimental treatment conditions, they were divided into 4 groups: Group A was normal BMSCs without H2O2 treatment; untransfected BMSCs, BMSCs/Lv-EGFP, and BMSCs/Lv-NMNAT3-EGFP in groups B, C, and D were treated with H2O2 simulated oxidative stress, respectively. The effects of NMNAT3 on the mitochondrial function of BMSCs under oxidative stress [changes of mitochondrial membrane potential, NAD+ and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels], the changes of anti-oxidative stress ability of BMSCs [reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities], and the effects of BMSCs on senescence and apoptosis [senescence associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining and TUNEL staining] were detected after 24 hours of treatment.ResultsThe rabbit BMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured in vitro. The stable strain of rabbit BMSCs with high expression of NMNAT3 gene was successfully obtained by lentiviral transfection, and the expressions of NMNAT3 gene and protein significantly increased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the trend of cell proliferation compared with normal BMSCs. After treatment with H2O2, the function of mitochondria was damaged and apoptosis increased in all groups. However, compared with groups B and C, the group D showed that the mitochondrial function of BMSCs improved, the membrane potential increased, the level of NAD+ and ATP synthesis of mitochondria increased; the anti-oxidative stress ability of BMSCs enhanced, the levels of ROS and MDA decreased, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes (Mn-SOD, CAT) increased; and the proportion of SA-β-gal positive cells and the rate of apoptosis decreased. The differences in all indicators between group D and groups B and C were significant (P<0.05).ConclusionNMNAT3 can effectively improve the mitochondrial function of rabbit BMSCs via increasing the NAD+ levels, and enhance its anti-oxidative stress and improve the survival of BMSCs under oxidative stress conditions.

Objective To evaluate the potential of specific mRNA marker keratin 19(K19) to detect micrometastasis by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) .Methods One hundred and ninty four regional lymph nodes harvested from 6 cases of benign diseases, 4 cases of breast carcinoma, 5 cases of gastric carcinoma and 12 cases of colorectal carcinoma patients were examined by conventional pathology and amplifying tissue specific K19 mRNA by RT-PCR separately, then the two methods were compared with each other. Results None of the 34 lymph nodes which were pathological metastasis-negative from benign diseases expressed K19 mRNA by RT-PCR, all of the 28 regional lymph nodes which were pathological metastasis-positive from malignant cases showed trains of K19 mRNA by RT-PCR. Of the 132 lymph nodes which were pathological metastasis-negative from malignant cases, 11 lymph nodes were detected with micrometastasis by genetic diagnosis.Conclusion Genetic diagnosis of lymph node micrometastasis is more sensitive than conventional pathology and has diagnostic value and merits further study.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress and clinical efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis.MethodThe literatures of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastasis were collected and reviewed.ResultsThe incidence of colorectal cancer liver metastasis was high, which affected the prognosis of patients. Surgical treatment was the preferred treatment for colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy could be used for preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative adjuvant therapy.ConclusionsHepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy is an effective local treatment for colorectal cancer liver metastasis and can be used as a supplement to surgical treatment. Compared with systemic chemotherapy, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy can improve the overall survival and disease-free survival, reduce the risk of intrahepatic recurrence, and improve the prognosis of patients.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the effect of preoperative gastric arterial chemoembolization on apoptosis of lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer. MethodsForty patients with gastric cancer and lymph node metastasis underwent curative resection, among which there were 20 patients who received the preoperative gastric arterial chemoembolization, and they constituted the treatment group. The rest of the patients were included in the control group. The expressions of p53, CD95 and bcl-2 were examined by immunohistochemistry and apoptosis in the lymph node metastasis was examined by in situ terminal transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling （TUNEL）. ResultsThe expression intensity of p53 and CD95 in lymph node metastasis of treatment group increased more significantly than that of control group, whereas the expression intensity of bcl-2 decreased in treatment group. There was a significantly positive correlation between the expressions of p53 and CD95 and the apoptosis.ConclusionPreoperative gastric arterial chemoembolization may affect the expressions of p53, CD95 and bcl-2 and may induce the apoptosis of lymph node metastasis. It may be helpful to improve the effect of curative resection of gastric cancer.
