Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Ribosome biogenesis regulatory protein homolog (RRS1) is an essential factor involved in ribosome biogenesis, while its role in CRC remains largely unclear. Here, we found that RRS1 expression was significantly higher in CRC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues.

Background/aims: This study gives insight into the effect of combined Billroth II with Braun anastomosis for patients with gastric cancer.
Methodology: The clinical data of 720 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from 1997 to 2011 were reviewed retrospectively. The results of different operative approaches were analyzed.

Aim: To investigate the effects of osteopontin (OPN) gene expression knockdown on colon cancer Lovo cells in vitro.
Methods: Four candidate small interfering RNA (siRNA) constructs targeting the OPN gene and a scrambled control sequence (NC-siRNA) were synthesized and inserted into a pGPU6/GFP/Neo expression vector. After confirmation by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing, the recombinant plasmids were subsequently transfected into a human colon cancer cell line (Lovo) using a liposome transfection method.

Objective: To investigate the effects of human colon carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion of colon carcinoma Lovo cells.
Methods: The co-culture models among colon CAFs, NFs and Lovo cell were established by conditioned medium (CM) of human colon CAFs and colon normal fibroblasts (NFs). Lovo cells in the blank control group was treated with serum-free culture medium.

Objective. The intrahepatic stem cells, also known as hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs), are able to differentiate into hepatocytes and bile duct epithelia. By exposure of different injuries and different hepatocarcinogenic regimens, the mature hepatocytes can no longer effectively regenerate; stem cells are involved in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the expression of metabolic enzymes of fluoropyrimidines in primary colorectal cancer.
Methods: Sixty-one cases of pathological confirmed primary colorectal cancer were collected in Beijing Cancer Hospital from August 2003 to February 2004. The expressions of thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) were detected in paired tumor tissues and non-cancerous tissues by RT-PCR.
