EMT can be identified histologically by the presence of "tumor budding" ,a feature which can be highly specific for tumors showing an inf iltrating tumor growth pattern. Importantly,tumor budding and tumor border configuration have generated considerable interest as additional prognostic factors and are also recognized as such by the International Union Against Cancer. Evidence seems to suggest that the presence of tumor budding or an infiltrating growth pattern is inversely correlated with the presence of immune and inflammatory responses at the invasive tumor front. In fact,several tumor-associated antigens such as CD3,CD4,CD8,CD20,Granzyme B,FOXP3 and other immunological or inflammatory cell types have been identified as poten-tially prognostic in patients with this disease. Evidence seems to suggest that the balance between protumor (including budding and inf iltrating growth pattern) and anti-tumor (immune response or certain inflammatory cell types) factors at the invasive front of colorectal cancer may be decisive in determining tumor progression and the clinical outcome of patients with colorectal cancer. On one hand,the inf iltrating tumor border configuration and tumor budding promote progression and dissemination of tumor cells by penetrating the vascular and lymphatic vessels. On the other,the host attempts to fend off this attack by mounting an immune response to protect vascular and lymphatic channels from invasion by tumor buds. Whereas standard pathology reporting of breast and prostate cancer involves additional prognostic features,such as the BRE and Gleason scores,the ratio of pro-and anti-tumor factors could be a promising approach for the future development of a prognostic score for patients with colorectal cancer which could complement tumor node metastasis staging to improve the clinical management of patients with this disease.展开更多

The main adaptations to endurance exercise include the correction of electrolyte imbalance, a decrease in glycogen storage and the increase of oxidative stress, intestinal permeability, muscle damage, and systemic inflammatory response. Adaptations to exercise might be influenced by the gut microbiota, which plays an important role in the production, storage, and expenditure of energy obtained from the diet as well as in inflammation,redox reactions, and hydration status.Methods: A systematic and comprehensive search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, Scopus, Clinical Trials.gov, Science Direct,Springer Link, and EMBASE was done. The search process was completed using the keywords: "endurance", "exercise", "immune response","microbiota", "nutrition", and "probiotics".Results: Reviewed literature supports the hypothesis that intestinal microbiota might be able to provide a measureable, effective marker of an athlete's immune function and that microbial composition analysis might also be sensitive enough to detect exercise-induced stress and metabolic disorders. The review also supports the hypothesis that modifying the microbiota through the use of probiotics could be an important therapeutic tool to improve athletes' overall general health, performance, and energy availability while controlling inflammation and redox levels.Conclusion: The present review provides a comprehensive overview of how gut microbiota may have a key role in controlling the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses as well as improving metabolism and energy expenditure during intense exercise.展开更多

Methods: Macrophage cell line RAW264. 7 was pre-cultured with or without 10 ng/ml LPS for 18 h, then challenged with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) , or MDP, Zymosan, PAF, FMLP, PMA for 24 h. The levels of TNF-α , IL-1 , IL-6, IL-10 , NO and O2-, were measured. Results: LI'S pretreatment markedly inhibited TNF-a NO and IL-6 production, but increased IL-1, IL-10 and O2- release to LPS challenge. LPS pretreatment also altered macrophage responsiveness to the other stimuli. Conclusion: LPS can induce hyper- and hypo-responsiveness simultaneously in the macrophage cell lines. Changes in macrophage responsiveness depend on stimuli and effectors which are measured.展开更多

Methods: SD rat models of acute spinal cord injury were prepared by modified Allen’s method. The motor function of the rat lower extremities in sCR1 group and normal saline (NS) group was evaluated by the tiltboard experiment at 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d. The neutrophil infiltration and C3c positive expression were observed. The myeloperoxidase activity was assessed in the injury tissue at 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d after injury in the two groups. Results: The motor function of rat in sCR1 group at 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d was obviously better than that in NS group (P< 0.01, P< 0.01, P< 0.01). C3c positive expression in sCR1 group at each time point after injury was obviously less than that in NS group (P< 0.01). The myeloperoxidase activity in sCR1 group at each time point after injury was obviously less than that in NS group (P< 0.01). Conclusions: Recombinant soluble complement receptor type I (sCR1) can lessen the immune inflammatory reaction in acute spinal cord injury tissue and relieve secondary spinal cord injury by inhibiting the activation of the complement system.展开更多
