Objective: Genetic polymorphisms in ALDH2 and C12orf30 genes have been reported to increase the risk of developing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aims to investigate the relationship between ALDH2 rs671 and c12orf30 rs4767364 polymorphisms in the chromosome 12q24 gene, and risk and prognosis of individuals developing esophageal cancer (ESCC) in Xinjiang Kazak and Han populations.

Methods: The case group consisted of 127 ESCC patients.

IL-8 suppresses E-cadherin expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by enhancing E-cadherin promoter DNA methylation.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has the highest metastasis potential among head and neck cancers. Distant metastasis is the major cause of treatment failure. Recent studies from our laboratory have revealed that IL-8 promotes NPC metastasis via activation of AKT signaling and induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the cells.

Expression and prognostic significance of golgiglycoprotein73 (GP73) with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related molecules in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer and the third cause of cancer-related deaths, worldwide. It is essential to develop an effective prognostic biomarker and determine the mechanisms underlying HCC invasion and metastasis.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the expression of Golgi glycoprotein73 (GP73) and Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) molecules such as E-cadherin and Vimentin in HCC.

[Clinical significance and diagnostic value of Golgi-protein 73 in patients with early-stage primary hepatocellular carcinoma].

Objective: To explore the clinical significance and diagnostic value of GP73 in early-stage primary hepatocelluar carcinoma (PHC).

Methods: GP73 levels in 50 healthy controls, 65 cases of liver cirrhosis and 40 early stage PHC were detected by ELISA. The areas under ROC, sensitivities and specificities were also compared.

[Expression profiles and differential diagnostic value of serum Golgi protein-73 in patients with liver cirrhosis and primary hepatic carcinoma].

Objective: To investigate the expression profiles of serum Golgi protein-73 (GP73) in liver cirrhosis and primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) and determine its clinical value for differential diagnosis.

Methods: Serum protein expressions of GP73 and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and chemiluminescence assay, respectively, in patients with PHC (n=80), liver cirrhosis (n=65), and healthy controls (n=50). Inter-group changes were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis test, and significance of these differences was assessed by Mann-Whitney test.

[Clinical epidemiological analysis of 3602 cases of primary liver cancer in Xinjiang].

Objective: To investigate the clinical epidemiological characteristics and the major causes of primary liver cancer (PLC) in Xinjiang region.

Methods: The clinical epidemiological information on the first page of case history of 3602 PLC patients, which were diagnosed in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2010, were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.

Results: Among the 3602 cases, the men/women gender ratio was 3.

[Plasma interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels in different subtypes of lymphoma and their clinical significance].

Objective: To study the plasma levels of interleukin6 (IL-6 ) and interleukin10 (IL-10) in patients with lymphoma and their association with the clinical characteristics and prognosis.

Methods: The plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were measured in 132 lymphoma patients and 132 healthy controls using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

[Study of flos lonicerae in local herbs and other areas by FTIR spectrum].

The FTIR spectra of flos lonicerae(FL) in four different areas are analysed by FTIR and the comparison of local(Henan) FL and FL in other areas is also studied. The result shows that the FL in different areas have the different content of main effective substance, so their absorption frequency and form in FTIR spectra are different as well. There is an obvious difference between Sichuan and local FL in wave number and form.
