Effect of Xiaoaiping combined with intravenous chemotherapy on tumor marker levels and cell viability molecule expression in patients with advanced gastric cancer

Objective:To study the effect of Xiaoaiping combined with intravenous chemotherapy on tumor marker molecule content and cell viability molecule expression in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods:94 patients diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer in our hospital between May 2013 and March 2016 were selected and randomly divided into Xiaoaiping group and XELOX group who received Xiaoaiping combined with XELOX therapy and XELOX therapy alone respectively. After four cycles of treatment, serum was collected to detect tumor marker levels, and gastric cancer tissue was collected to detect the expression of invasion-, proliferation-and apoptosis-related molecules. Results:After four cycles of treatment, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA199), thymidine kinase (TK)-1, Pentraxin-3 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) levels of Xiaoaiping group were significantly lower than those of XELOX group (P<0.05);ALDH1, CXCR4, CatE, CatS, CyclinD1, CDK4, CDC25B, Bcl-2 and Survivin expression in gastric cancer tissue of Xiaoaiping group were significantly lower than those of XELOX group (P<0.05) while Caspase-3, Caspase-9, PTEN and Beclin-1 expression were significantly higher than those of XELOX group (P<0.05). Conclusions:Xiaoaiping combined with intravenous chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer can more effectively kill cancer cells and inhibit cancer cell proliferation and invasion.

Effect of brucea javanica oil injection combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy on malignant molecule expression and antitumor immune response in patients with gastric cancer

Objective:To study the effect of brucea javanica oil injection combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy on malignant molecule expression and antitumor immune response in patients with gastric cancer.Methods: A total of 78 patients with gastric cancer undergoing preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in our hospital between May 2013 and July 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, intervention group received brucea javanica oil injection combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the control group accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Serum tumor marker levels and peripheral blood regulatory molecule expression were determined before and after treatment, and the malignant molecule expression levels in gastric cancer lesions were determined after the operation.Results:2 cycles and 4 cycles after treatment, serum CEA, DKK1, exosc2 and ANXA2 levels of both groups of patients were significantly lower than those before treatment, PD-1, TIM-3 and Foxp3 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of control group were significantly higher than those before treatment, PD-1, TIM-3 and Foxp3 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of intervention group were significantly lower than those before treatment, serum CEA, DKK1, exosc2 and ANXA2 levels as well as PD-1, TIM-3 and Foxp3 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of intervention group were significantly lower than those of control group, and the GKN1 and GKN2 mRNA expression in gastric cancer lesions were significantly higher than those of control group while GOLPH3 and PTP1B mRNA expression were significantly lower than those of control group.Conclusion:Brucea javanica oil injection combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy can more effectively kill the gastric cancer cells and improve the antitumor immune response.
