Clinical Diagnostic Implications of Body Fluid MiRNA in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis

Oral cancer, predominantly oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), is one of the most leading causes of cancers worldwide. Due to a low 5-year survival rate, highly effective methods for the early detection of OSCC are totally needed. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as promising biomarkers, can bring insights into tumorigenesis of oral cancers. However, studies on the accuracy of miRNAs detection in OSCC have inconsistent conclusions, leading us to conduct this meta-analysis. The aim of this study was to systematically review the articles investigating the diagnostic value of miRNAs in OSCC.The PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Web of Science were searched (updated to June 11th, 2015) to identify all articles evaluating the diagnostic yield of miRNAs for OSCC. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and other diagnostic parameters were used to assess the performance of miRNAs assays on OSCC detection. Statistical analysis was conducted by employing the R software.The present meta-analysis comprised 23 studies from 10 articles, including 598 OSCC patients and 320 healthy individuals, available for analysis. The summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) curve was plotted. Meanwhile, the pooled diagnostic parameters and the area under curve (AUC) were calculated based on all included studies. The pooled diagnostic parameters calculated from all 23 studies were as follows: pooled sensitivity of 0.759 (95% CI: 0.701–0.809), pooled specificity of 0.773 (95% CI: 0.713–0.823) and AUC of 0.832, which indicates a relatively high diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs in differentiating OSCC patients from healthy controls. Meanwhile, In addition, subgroup analyses were conducted to access the heterogeneity between studies, which is based on specimen (serum/plasma/blood/saliva/ tissue) and ethnicity (Asian/Caucasian).In summary, our meta-analysis suggests that miRNAs might be used in noninvasive screening tests for OSCC, which needs further large-scale studies to be validated.     

Research progress on accelerator-based stereotactic body radiotherapy

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has become an important radiotherapy technology. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the mechanical properties of the linear accelerator (LINAC), LINAC-based SBRT is gradually emerging. In this article, the history, technological progress, radiation physics, clinical application of LINAC-based SBRT were elaborated, aiming to promote the development of LINAC-based SBRT.

摘要：目的 探讨诱导分化剂苯乙酸（PA）对人结直肠癌细胞系HCT 8细胞周期及增殖的影响。 方法 应用MTT比色法，以1.0，2.0，3.0，4.0，5.0 mmol/L的PA作用于体外培养的HCT 8细胞，分别于24，48，72h后对细胞增殖进行检测；流式细胞术分析细胞周期。结果 随着PA浓度的增加（1～5 mmol/L）或药物作用时间的延长（24～72h），肿瘤细胞生长抑制率明显增加。PA1~5mmol/L作用24h细胞生长抑制率为5.1%-24.3%，48h为16.7%-72.3%，72h为30.2%-93.4%。PA作用细胞72h后，G0/G1期比例显著下降，S期比例相对升高，组间差异显著（P＜0.05）。结论 PA在诱导分化结直肠癌HCT 8细胞过程中，可诱导G1细胞周期阻滞，抑制细胞增殖。     

肾癌患者治疗方法的选择

目的:探讨肾细胞癌的不同手术方式、术前肾动脉栓塞及免疫治疗的临床应用价值。方法:回顾性分析179例肾细胞癌患者的临床资料。对患者的临床资料分组进行对比,并对治疗效果和随访结果作进一步统计学分析。结果:小肾癌行肾癌根治术与保留肾组织手术效果比较,在手术时间、术后住院时间、术后5年生存率上差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05);78例术前行选择性肾动脉栓塞者,手术证实栓塞效果满意。结论:保肾单位手术是治疗局限性小肾癌的有效手段;较大的肾癌术前进行肾动脉栓塞术便于手术切除病灶,提高了肿瘤的切除率;免疫治疗是继手术治疗之后的又一种主要临床治疗方式,尤其肿瘤疫苗的出现,对于晚期肾癌及转移癌效果明显。
