Aims: This study aimed to test the diagnostic utility of the total serum cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and DNA integrity index for detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: We initially evaluated the sodium iodide (NaI) method, Triton/Heat/Phenol (THP) protocol and QIAamp Kit for cfDNA extraction. Then cfDNA was isolated from the sera of 80 patients with HBV-related HCC, 80 patients with chronic HBV infection and 50 healthy subjects, and quantified by realtime quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) amplification of beta-actin genomic DNA fragments using two sets of primers of 100 and 400 bp.

Recent experimental evidence support the model in which the simultaneous induction of BMI-1 and USP22 is critical during cancer progression. Whether this model may affect gastric cancer (GC) progression is worthy of additional study. In this study, we examined the significance of the USP22 and BMI-1 expression in GC (n = 219), non-cancerous mucosa (n = 37), and lymph node metastasis (n = 37).
