Project description:5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) and leucovorin (LV) are often given in combination to treat colorectal cancer. 5-Fu/LV prevents cell proliferation by inhibiting thymidylate synthase, which catalyzes the conversion of deoxyuridine monophosphate to deoxythymidine monophosphate. While 5-Fu has been shown to cause cognitive impairment, the synergistic effect of 5-Fu with LV has not been fully explored. The present investigation was designed to assess how the combination of 5-Fu and LV affect cognition in a murine model. Six-month-old male mice were used in this study; 15 mice received saline injections and 15 mice received 5-Fu/LV injections. One month after treatment, the elevated plus maze, Y-maze, and Morris water maze behavioral tasks were performed. Brains were then extracted, cryosectioned, and stained for CD68 to assay microglial activation and with tomato lectin to assay the vasculature. All animals were able to locate the visible and hidden platform locations in the water maze. However, a significant impairment in spatial memory retention was observed in the probe trial after the first day of hidden-platform training (first probe trial) in animals that received 5-Fu/LV, but these animals showed spatial memory retention by day 5. There were no significant increases in inflammation as measured by CD68, but 5-Fu/LV treatment did modulate blood vessel morphology. Tandem mass tag proteomics analysis identified 6,049 proteins, 7 of which were differentially expressed with a P-value of < 0.05 and a fold change of >1.5. The present data demonstrate that 5-Fu/LV increases anxiety and significantly impairs spatial memory retention.

Project description:AimTo observe the curative effect of Weiansan (WAS) on gastric precancerous lesions (GPL) and H pylori elimination.MethodsSeventy-six patients with GPL were randomly divided into two groups: WAS group (n = 42) and Weifuchun (WFC) group (n = 34). The patients in the WAS group were administered 5 g WAS 3 times a day, and the patients in the WFC group took WFC (4 tablets) 3 times a day. To monitor inflammation of gastric mucosa, degree of glandular atrophy (GA), intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia, and H pylori infection, all patients underwent gastroscopy and biopsy with pathological examination before and after treatment. Fifty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used in animal experiments. Of these, 10 served as the control group (n = 10), 40 were given ranitidine combined with N-methyl-N(1)-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) for 12 wk and divided into 4 groups randomly: model group (n = 10), high-dose WAS group (n = 10), low-dose WAS group (n = 10) and WFC group (n = 10). Twelve weeks later, all rats were killed and a 2 cm multiply 1 cm tissue was taken from the lesser curvature of the gastric antrum. H pylori infection was determined by the fast urease method.ResultsThe curative effect in WAS groups was similar to that in WFC groups. There was no statistical difference in degree of GA, IM and dysplasia between WAS and WFC groups. The rate of H pylori infection in the model group (positive/negative: 9/1) was significantly higher than that in the control group (positive/negative: 1/9) (P < 0.01). H pylori elimination in the high-dose WAS group (positive/negative: 4/6) and low-dose WAS group (positive/negative: 6/4) was similar to that in the WFC group (positive/negative: 4/6) (P > 0.05).ConclusionWAS improves clinical symptoms by suppressing GA, IM and dysplasia and eliminating H pylori.

Project description:Multiple lines of evidence have highlighted that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as a novel class of regulators of cancer biological processes. Currently, our knowledge of lncRNAs in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is still limited. Using microarray analysis, we identified a lncRNA (lncAB), which is downregulated in PTC. The decreased expression of lncAB is induced by CpG hypermethylation in the flanking region of lncAB. Overexpression of lncAB inhibited tumor growth and arrested G2/M phase in vitro and in vivo, whereas knockdown of lncAB promoted cell proliferation, colony formation, DNA replication ability, and increased G0/G1 phase. Mechanistic analyses revealed that lncAB binds to KHSRP, resulting in the mRNA degradation, high expression of CDKN1a and low expression of CDK2, and thereby repressed cell proliferation. Taken together, we provide evidence that lncAB is a tumor suppressor in PTC tumorigenesis and delineate a novel mechanism of lncRNA in PTC progression.

Project description:Although recent studies have suggested that tooth loss is positively related to the risk of gastric non-cardia cancer, the underlying oral health conditions potentially responsible for the association remain unknown. We investigated whether clinical and behavioral measures of oral health are associated with the risk of gastric precancerous lesions. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 131 patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Cases were defined as those with gastric precancerous lesions including intestinal metaplasia or chronic atrophic gastritis on the basis of standard biopsy review. A validated structured questionnaire was administered to obtain information on oral health behaviors. A comprehensive clinical oral health examination was performed on a subset of 91 patients to evaluate for periodontal disease and dental caries experience. A total of 41 (31%) cases of gastric precancerous lesions were identified. Compared with non-cases, cases were significantly more likely to not floss their teeth [odds ratio (OR) = 2.89, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-7.64], adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, smoking status, educational attainment and Helicobacter pylori status in serum. Among participants who completed the oral examination, cases (n = 28) were more likely to have a higher percentage of sites with gingival bleeding than non-cases [OR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.37-5.05 for a standard deviation increase in bleeding sites (equivalent to 19.7%)], independent of potential confounders. Our findings demonstrate that specific oral health conditions and behaviors such as gingival bleeding and tooth flossing are associated with gastric precancerous lesions.
