The amplification was significant in both types of specimens of advanced cancer cases (P＜0.05) and surgical specimens with lymph node metastasis (P＜0.01). The incidence of C-erbB-2 amplification in lymph nodes with metastasis was higher than in primary sites (surgical specimens, P＜0.05). The patients with amplification tumors had poorer 5-year survival rates than those with unamplification ones in the early cancers and well to moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas (P＜0.05). The same surgical samples were tested again by Southern blot hybridization to ascertain C-erbB-2 amplification, and the positive rate of C-erbB-2 amplification (15.7%) was lower than that of dPCR (28.9%, P＜0.05).CONCLUSION Examining C-erbB-2 amplification by dPCR is a quick, simple, reliable and independent method, and is helpful in predicting prognosis and metastatic potential of gastric cancer.展开更多

The aim of this study was to in vestigate the frequency of HER-2 oncogene amplification in primary HCC and its relations to clinicopathological pa rameters and prognosis. METHODS: Forty-two surgical samples from patients with primary HCC were detected for their HER-2 oncogene am plification. The number of chromosome 17 and their ratio were tested by dual fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique, and then the correlations between HER-2 amplification, clinicopathological characteristics and prog nosis were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: HER-2 oncogene amplification was detected in 9 (21.4%) of the 42 primary HCCs, including 4 patient with high copy (HC) (9.5%) and 5 patients with low copy (LC) (11.9%). HER-2 amplification was associated signifi cantly with tumor size and postoperative survival time o HCC patients (P<0.05), and the presence of HER-2 gene amplification was correlated with postoperative relapse (P— 0.257), but not related to sex, age, AFP level, HBV infec tion, histopathological grading and clinical staging of HCC patients (P>0.05). The HER-2 oncogene copy was exa mined in 31 (73.8%) of the 42 primary HCCs, consisting of 9 patients with HER-2 amplification (21.4%) and 22 pa tients with aneuploidy (52.4%). No significant relation were observed between the HER-2 oncogene copy, patien sex, tumor size, histopathological grading, clinical stag ing, postoperative relapse and survival time (P >0.05); bu the HER-2 oncogene copy was correlated significantly to age, AFP level and HBV infection (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: There are a lower frequency of HER-2 oncogene amplification and a higher frequency of chromo- some 17 aneuploidy in primary HCC. HER-2 oncogene amplification may be involved in the development and pro- gression of large HCC in some patients, and seems to be a valuably independent prognostic factor predicting the re- currence and poor survival in patients with large HCC.展开更多

METHODS: Sixty-seven patients with GPL confirmed by gastroscopy and pathology were studied,including 39 cases of moderate gastric mucosal dysplasia,19 cases of severe gastric mucosa dysplasia, 9 cases of incomplete colon metaplasia. In syndrome differentiation of TCM,17 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by qi stagnation, 21 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by stomach heat, 29 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by blood stasis. Protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 oncogene were detected by labeled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) immunohist-ochemistry and in situ hybridization respectively. RESULTS: Abnormal expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene was found in GPL,which increased gradually with the course of lesions. In moderate and severe gastric mucosal dysplasia and incomplete colon metaplasia,there was no difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene (P>0.05).In different accompanying syndromes, the expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene increased gradually in the following order: deficiency of both qi and yin of the spleen and stomach accompanying qi stagnation→stomach heat→blood stasis. In GPL, compared with accompanying blood stasis, there was an obvious difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene between the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach and accompanying stomach heat, so did accompanying qi stagnation (the level of protein: X2=8.45, P<0.05;the level of mRNA: X2=7.35, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Apoptosis-associated bcl-2 oncogene is abnormally expressed in GPL,which correlates with different accompanying syndromes in TCM.展开更多

The results showed that specific 17 and 28 kD HBV X gene products (HBxAg) were existed in a portion of PHC and tumor-adjacent tissues. The 17 kD HBxAg was detected in the sera of 3 patients who also had 17 kD HBxAg in their liver tissues. Multiple expressions of oncogenes such as ets-2, c-myc and N-ras were observed in PHC and tumor-adjacent tissues that had HBxAg expressed, indicating HBxAg might function as a transactivator in the course of intracellular proto-oncogene activation. It is also observed that in some tumor-adjacnet tissues the expressions of ets-2, c-myc and N-ras were higher than those in corresponding PHC. The relationship of HBxAg to the expression of est-2, IGF-Ⅱ, c-myc and their possible roles in the carcinogenesis of PHC are discussed.展开更多

Methods: A total of 91 patients with breast cancer and 85 patients with breast adenoma who accepted surgical treatment in our hospital between August 2016 and February 2018 were selected, and the breast cancer tissues and breast adenoma tissues were collected respectively as the research samples. Fluorescence quantitative PCR method was used to detect the expression of Kif2a and HPK1 genes as well as oncogenes and drug resistance genes in sample tissues, and Pearson test was used to evaluate the inner link of Kif2a and HPK1 gene expression in breast cancer tissue with oncogene and drug resistance gene expression. Results: Kif2a mRNA expression in breast cancer tissues was higher than that in breast adenoma tissues whereas HPK1 mRNA expression was lower than that in breast adenoma tissues;oncogenes DEK, iASPP-SV, Stat3, MDM2 and Fra-1 mRNA expression were higher than those in breast adenoma tissues;drug resistance genes ESR1, MDR1, P-gp, MRP1 and GST- mRNA expression were higher than those in breast adenoma tissues whereas BCRP mRNA expression was lower than that in breast adenoma tissues. Correlation analysis showed that the Kif2a and HPK1 gene expression in breast cancer tissues were directly correlated with the expression of oncogenes and drug resistance genes. Conclusion: Kif2a gene is abnormally highly expressed whereas HPK1 gene is abnormally lowly expressed in breast cancer tissues, and they are involved in the regulation of oncogene and drug resistance gene expression.展开更多
