It is confirmed that the Tropic of Cancer runs through 19 countries and regions in the world, and it traverses Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian （sea area） and Taiwan provinces in China. At the same time, regions which the Tropic of Cancer traverses are divided into three regions, namely the extensive Tropic of Cancer region, the Tropic of Cancer region and the core area of the Tropic of Cancer. The series of delimitation and division aims to explore ways of sustainable development under the restriction of resources and environment and build collaborative development areas of the Tropic of Cancer at all leaves, especially setting up the collaborative de- velopment zone of the Tropic of Cancer in China and international collaborative development circle of the Tropic of Cancer.展开更多

METHODS: Quantitative determination of hesperidin, the effective component in WCA decoction, was performed using Hp LC. In vitro cytotoxicity of WCA was determined by treating HCT-116 cells with WCA diluents or serum extracted from rats that received WCA by oral gavage for 1 wk and MTT assays. Forty-eight nude mice received cecum implantation with tumor blocks subcutaneously amplified from human colon cancer cell line HCT-116. Mice were randomly divided into four treatment groups: control(CON), WCA, 5-Fu and combination(WCA + 5-Fu). pathological examination of tumors consisted of tissue sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Tumor weight and size were measured, and the number of metastatic l e s i o n s wa s c o u n t e d. S e r u m c a r c i n o e m b r yo n i c antigen(CEA) level was determined by ELISA. The expression levels of tumor genesis and metastasisrelated proteins β-catenin and matrix metalloproteinase(MMp)-7 were measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RTp CR), immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Cell fractionation was used to investigate intracellular distribution of β-catenin.RESULTS: parenchymal tumors were palpable in the abdomens of nude mice 2 wk post-implantation and orthotopic tumor formation rate was 100% in all groups. 5-Fu treatment alone significantly decreased tumor weight compared to the CON group(1.203 ± 0.284 g vs 1.804 ± 0.649 g, p < 0.01). WCA treatment alone reduced the rate of metastasis(50% vs 100%,p < 0.05). Combination treatment of WCA + 5-Fu was the most effective, reducing the tumor weight(1.140 ± 0.464 g vs 1.804 ± 0.649 g, p < 0.01) and size(1493.438 ± 740.906 mm3 vs 2180.259 ± 816.556 mm3, p < 0.05), the rate of metastases(40% vs 100%, p < 0.01), and serum CEA levels(31.263 ± 7.421 μg/L vs 43.040 ± 11.273 μg/L, p < 0.05). Expression of β-catenin and MMp-7 was decreased in drug-treated groups compared to controls, as detected using realtime quantitative RT-p CR, immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting, respectively. Cell fractionation assays revealed that nuclear translocation of β-catenin was reduced by WCA and/or 5-Fu treatments. CONCLUSION: Combination of WCA with 5-Fu significantly inhibited colon tumor growth and hepatic metastases. Decreased expression of β-catenin and MMp-7 may be important.展开更多

The included studies were assessed for methodological quality with quality assessment of diagnosis accuracy studies（QUADAS） score tool. Histopathological analysis and/or clinical and/or radiological follow-up for at least 6 months were used as the reference standard. The data were extracted by two reviewers independently to analyze the sensitivity, specificity, summary receiver operating characteristic（SROC） curve, area under the curve（AUC）, and heterogeneity.Results： The present study analyzed a total of 4 selected articles. The pool sensitivity was 0.773 [95% confidence interval（CI）： 0.594-0.900]. The pooled specificity was 0.685（95% CI： 0.479-0.849） on basis of FEM. The pooled LR^＋, LR^-, and DOR were 2.874（1.492-5.538）, 0.293（0.146-0.589）, and 14.891（3.238-68.475）, respectively.

However, future larger scale clinical trials will be needed to assess the regimen of 18^F-FLT PET/CT or PET in monitoring the response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.展开更多

文摘Objective:To evaluate the effects of n-hexane insoluble fraction(HIF)of Ficus septica leaves in combination with doxorubicin on cytotoxicity,cell cycle and apoptosis induction of breast cancer T47D cell lines.Methods:The in vitro drugs-stimulated cytotoxic effects were determined using MTT assay.Analysis of cell cycle distribution was performed using flowcytometer and the data was analyzed using ModFit LT 3.0 program.Apoptosis assay was earned out by double staining method using ethydium bromide-acridin orange.The expression of cleaved-poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP)on T47D cell lines was identified using immunocytochemistry.Results:The combination exhibited higher inhibitory effect on cell growth than the single treatment of doxorubicin in T47D cells.In addition,combination of doxorubicin and HIF increased the incidence of cells undergoing apoptosis.HIF could improve doxorubicin cytotoxic effect by changing the accumulation of cell cycle phase from G_2/M to G_1 phase.The combination also exhibited upregulation of cleaved-PARP in T47D cells.Conclusions:Based on this results,HIF is potential to be developed as co-chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.However,the molecular mechanism need to be explored further.
