METHODS: One hundred and fifty-six cases of both sexes with cancers of the digestive tract admitted between March 2001 and February 2004 in the Department of Medical Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were randomly enrolled in the study. Depressive and anxiety disorder diagnoses were assessed by using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV. All adult patients were evaluated with the Hamilton depressive scale (HAMD, the 24-item version), the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA, a modified 14-item version), quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QLQ-C30), social support rating scale (SSRS), simple coping style questionnaire (SCSQ), and other questionnaires, respectively. In terms of HAMD ≥ 20 and HAMA ≥ 14, the patients were categorized, including CAD (n = 31) in group A, anxiety disorder (n = 23) in group B, depressive disorder (n = 37) in group C, and non-disorder (n = 65) in group D. Immunological parameters such as T-lymphocyte subsets and natural killer (NK) cell activities in peripheral blood were determined and compared among the four groups. RESULTS: The incidence of CAD was 21.15% in patients with digestive tract cancers. The average scores of social support was 43.67±7.05 for 156 cases, active coping 20.34±7.33, and passive coping 9.55±5.51. Compared with group D, subjective support was enhanced slightly in group A, but social support, objective support, and utilization of support reduced, especially utilization of support with significance (6.16 vs7.80, P<0.05); total scores of active coping decreased, while passive coping reversed; granulocytes proliferated, monocytes declined, and lymphocytes declined significantly (32.87 vs 34.00, P<0.05); moreover, the percentage of CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD56 in T lymphocyte subsets was in lower level, respectively, and CD56 showed a significant decline in group A (26.02 vs 32.20, P<0.05), however, CD4/CD8 ratio increased. Physical function, role function, fatigue, sleeplessness and constipation had significant changes among different groups by one-way ANOVA, and group A was in poor QOL. It revealed that global health-related quality of life (QL) were positively correlated with active coping and CD56; CAD was negatively correlated with QL, active coping and CD56. Furthermore, the step-wise regression analysis suggested that utilization of support, CD56, active coping, fatigue, sleeplessness and depression were significant factors contributing to QOL. CONCLUSION: CAD, which can impair QOL and cellular immunity, occurs with a higher incidence in patients with digestive tract cancers. Hence, it is essential to improve mental health for them with specifically tailored interventions.展开更多

Relevant literatures were identified by comprehensively searching databases including the Pubmed, Embase, CBMdisc, and Wanfang(up to October 2014). A meta-analysis was performed to clarify the association between Sox2 expression and overall survival or clinicopathological parameters of patients with digestive tract cancers(esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers). The results showed a significant association between high Sox2 expression and poor overall survival in patients with digestive tract carcinomas(HR=1.55, 95% CI=1.04–2.31), especially for patients with esophageal cancer(HR=2.04, 95%CI=1.30–3.22), colorectal cancer(HR=1.40, 95% CI=1.04–1.89), and digestive tract adenocarcinoma(HR=1.80, 95% CI=1.12–2.89), for Europeans(HR=1.98, 95% CI=1.44–2.71) or patients who did not receive neoadjuvant treatment(HR=1.73, 95% CI=1.10–2.72). Furthermore, Sox2 over-expression was highly correlated with vascular invasion(OR=1.86, 95% CI=1.25–2.77) and poor differentiation(OR=1.88, 95% CI=1.14–3.08), especially in esophageal and colorectal cancers. In conclusion, Sox2 expression may serve as a novel prognostic factor for patients with digestive tract cancers. Over-expression of Sox2 that is correlated with vascular invasion and poor differentiation suggests poor outcomes of patients with digestive tract cancers.展开更多

The results showed that thecancer-adjusted mortalities were 224.14/100000 and226.66/100000: it was 7 times as high as low-incidence(31.19/100000 and 29.82/100000). In 70s, the cancer deathof esophagus, stomach and liver (87.41/100000,73.93/100000 and 8.59/100000) were 28 times, 10 timesand 4 times as high as low-incidence area (3.70/100000,10.57/100000 and 1.94/100000), respectively (P<0.001). In80s, the cancer death of esophagus, stomach and liver(68.26/100000, 109.39/100000 and 23.89/100000) were 17times, 10 times and 4 times as high as low-incidence area(4.54/100000, 10.84/100000 and 6.35/100000), respectively(P<0.001). In high-incidence area, the cancer death ofesophagus was lower, of stomach and liver were higherin 80s than 70s, respectively (P<0.01)- The result alsoshowed that the nitrate content of drinking water andvegetables were 21.45mg/1 and 1185.27mg/kg in high-incidence area; it were significant higher than that in low-incidence area (2.14mg/1 and 41.6omg/kg), the nitritecontent (0.01mg/l) of drinking water in high-incidencearea was significant higher than that in low-incidencearea (0.004mg/l), but the nitrite content among vegetableswas no significant difference between the two regions(N0.05). Our results suggest that the nitrate and nitritecontents increase in drinking water and vegetables maybe an important risk factor of upper alimentary cancer inhigh-incidence area.展开更多

It has been reported that the six-nucleotide deletion polymorphism(-652 6 N del) of the CASP8 gene had effect on some cancer risk. Few studies explored the association between CASP8 gene polymorphism and digestive tract cancer risk.To evaluate the association between the CASP8-652 6 N del polymorphism and the risk of digestive tract cancer, we conducted this meta-analysis. We found that CASP8-652 6 N del polymorphism was associated with a significantly reduced risk of digestive tract cancer in the co-dominant model(del/del vs. ins/ins: OR= 0.82, 95%CI= 0.72-0.95;del/ins vs. ins/ins: OR = 0.92,95%CI = 0.87-0.97;dominant model(del/ins + del/del vs. ins/ins: OR = 0.91,95%CI =0.87-0.96, recessive model: del/del vs. del/ins + ins/ins: OR = 0.85, 95%CI = 0.75-0.97). In the stratified analysis by cancer types, we found that all genetic models had protective effect on gastric cancer. Similar results were observed for colorectal cancer under heterozygote comparison and dominant model, but not under homozygote comparison or recessive model. In addition, a significantly decreased risk was found on esophageal cancer for most genetic models,except heterozygote comparison. When stratified by ethnicity and source of control, an evidently decreased risk was identified in the Asian populations and population-based studies. In conclusion, there exists an association between the CASP8-652 6 N del polymorphism and reduced digestive cancer risk, especially among Asians and populationbased studies.展开更多
