Objective. To detect the expression of the Oncostatin M (OSM) gene and encoded protein in the mucosal epithelium of chronic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia (IM), low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), early gastric cancer (EGC), and advanced gastric cancer (AGC) samples and to explore the correlation and clinicopathological significance of OSM expression in the process of gastric carcinogenesis. Methods. The expression levels of OSM in chronic gastritis, IM, LGIN, HGIN, EGC, and AGC samples were detected by gene chip, real-time quantitative PCR, and immunohistochemical methods. The expression levels of OSM in the gastric mucosa were analyzed, and its correlation with clinical pathology was studied. Results. The expression level of OSM in gastric HGIN and EGC tissues was significantly higher than that in LGIN tissues based on expression profiling (P<0.001). The expression of the OSM gene in EGC was higher than that in HGIN (unpaired t test, P<0.05) and LGIN (unpaired t test, P<0.01) by qPCR. The expression of OSM in LGIN was significantly lower than that in HGIN (P=0.008) and EGC (P=0.044) by immunohistochemical staining. The expression of OSM in HGIN tissues was significantly higher than that in AGC (P=0.007). Conclusion. Alterations in the expression of the OSM gene may be involved in the malignant transformation of the gastric mucosal epithelium. Because of the significant difference in the cancerization rate and clinical management between LGIN and HGIN, the difference in the staining intensity of OSM between LGIN and HGIN may be one of the early markers of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia.

Abstract BACKGROUND Early diagnosis is very important to improve the survival rate of patients with gastric cancer, especially in asymptomatic participants. However, low sensitivity of common biomarkers has caused difficulties in early screening of gastric cancer. In this study, we explored whether MIC-1 can improve the detection rate of early gastric cancer.METHODS We screened 8,257 participants based on risk factors such as age, gender, and family history for physical examination including gastroscopy. Participant blood samples were taken for measure MIC-1, CA-199, CA72-4 and PG1/PG2 levels. The diagnostic performance of MIC-1 was assessed and compared with CA-199, CA72-4 and PG1/PG2, and its role in early gastric cancer diagnosis and the assessment of the risk of precancerous lesions have also been studied.RESULTS Based on endoscopic and histopathological findings, 55 participants had gastric cancer, 566 participants had low-grade neoplasia, 2605 participants had chronic gastritis. MIC-1 levels were significantly elevated in gastric cancer serum samples as compared to controls (p<0.001). The sensitivity of serum MIC-1 for gastric cancer diagnosis was much higher than that of CA-199 (49.1% vs. 20.0%) with similar specificities. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis also showed that serum MIC-1 had a better performance compared with CA-199, CA72-4 and PG1/PG2 in distinguishing early-stage gastric cancer (AUC: 72.9% vs. 69.5%, 67.5%, 44.0% respectively).CONCLUSIONS Serum MIC-1 is significantly elevated in most patients with early gastric cancer. MIC-1 can serve as a novel diagnostic marker of early gastric cancer and value the risk of gastric cancer.

Abstract Background Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) has advantages in detecting gastric neoplastic lesions, meanwhile it requires strict patient cooperation. Sedation could improve patient cooperation and quality of endoscopy. However, sedation is still not very popular in some resource-limited countries and regions. The purpose of this study was to compare propofol-based sedated versus un-sedated CLE in the value of diagnosing early gastric cancer (EGC) and precancerous lesions. Methods A retrospective, cohort, single center study of 226 patients who underwent CLE between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017 was performed. Patients enrolled were allocated into the propofol-based sedated group (n = 126) and the un-sedated group (n = 100). The comparison of validity and reliability of CLE for identifying EGC and precancerous lesions between the two groups was performed through analyzing CLE diagnosis and pathological diagnosis. Reporting followed the STROBE guidelines. Results The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of diagnosing EGC in the sedated group was 0.97 (95 % CI: 0.95 to 0.99), which was higher than that in the un-sedated group (0.88 (95 % CI: 0.80 to 0.97), P = 0.0407). CLE with sedation performed better than without sedation in diagnosing intraepithelial neoplasia and intestinal metaplasia (P = 0.0008 and P = 0.0001, respectively). For patients considered as high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or EGC by endoscopists, they would not get biopsy during CLE but receive endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) subsequently, and the misdiagnosis rate of CLE was 0 % in the sedated group and 27.59 % (95 % CI: 10.30–44.91 %) in the un-sedated group (P = 0.006). Conclusions Propofol based sedation was associated with improved diagnostic value of CLE for detecting EGC as well as precancerous lesions (intraepithelial neoplasia OR intestinal metaplasia).

Objective: To investigate the protein expression levels of cyclin‑dependent kinase subunit 2 (CKS2) and cluster of differentiation (CD) 47 in gastric cancer (GC) and their clinical significances. Methods: A total of 126 GC patients who underwent radical resection were selected as study subjects. Additionally, 32 patients with benign gastric tumor, 42 patients with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIEN), and 49 patients with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIEN) who underwent surgery were selected as the control groups. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CKS2 and CD47 in surgical specimens. We statistically analyzed the clinical significance of the expression of the two factors. Results: (1) The positivity rates for CKS2 in benign gastric tumor tissue, LGIEN tissue, HGIEN tissue, and GC tissue gradually increased, i.e., 6.3% (2/32), 30.9% (13/42), 38.8% (19/49), and 60.3% (76/126), respectively, and the positivity rates for CD47 were 18.8% (6/32), 38.1% (16/42), 46.9% (23/49), and 65.9% (83/126), respectively. (2) High expression of CKS2 and CD47 were associated with tumor diameter, Lauren classification, number of lymph node metastases, and TNM stage. In addition, the immunohistochemical scores for CKS2 and CD47 were positively correlated (r=0.625, P=0.000). (3) The median follow-up time of 126 patients was 46.5 months, and the overall survival rate was 40.5% (51/126). Survival analysis showed that compared with that in the CKS2 (-) group, the overall survival rate for patients in the CKS2 (+) group was significantly worse (25.0% vs 64.0%, 2=15.67, P=0.000) and that compared with the CD47 (-) group, the CD47 (+) group had significantly worse overall survival (30.1% vs 60.5%, 2=15.67, P=0.000). (4) The overall survival rates of CKS2(+)CD47(+) group, CKS2(+)CD47(-) group, CKS2(-)CD47(+) group, and CKS2 (-)CD47 (-) group were 20.0%(13/65), 58.3%(7/12), 57.1%(8/14), 65.7% (23/35), respectively, the prognosis of patients in CKS2(+)CD47(+) group was significantly poor. Conclusion: High expression levels of CKS2 and CD47 were closely related to the occurrence of GC and can be used as independent risk factors to assess the prognosis of patients.

BackgroundAberrant gene promoter methylation is a critical event in tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to explore the promoter hypermethylation of p16 and DAPK1 during the progression of cervical precancerous lesions.MethodsA series of 98 cervical neoplasms (72 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and 26 cervical carcinomas) were evaluated. The promoter methylation status of p16 and DAPK1 was assessed from cervical scrapings by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction.ResultsFor p16, the frequency of promoter hypermethylation showed an increasing trend from normal to dysplastic to invasive squamous cancer specimens, and this increase reached statistical significance (P < 0.0001). However, there was no significant difference in the promoter methylation state of DAPK1 with regard to the various grades of cervical lesions (P = 0.077). Specifically, methylation of p16 was a frequent event in the cervical carcinoma samples, and these figures were statistically significant compared with the normal and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia I cases (P = 0.015 and P = 0.021, respectively).ConclusionsThese results imply that promoter hypermethylation of p16 occurs at an early stage of cervical neoplastic progression. This early event may play an initiating role in the malignant transformation of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma. We suggest that aberrant promoter methylation of p16 may serve as a useful biomarker during the follow-up of low-grade dysplasia.

As a drug-mechanical combination technology, photodynamic (PDT) can achieve accurate and targeted therapy for malignant tumors and benign diseases through the production of reactive oxygen species, oxygen free radicals or singlet oxygen by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths. Compared with traditional surgery, it has the advantages of selective killing, repeatable treatment, preserving target organ function and so on. The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical value of photodynamic therapy in cervical precancerous lesions by taking the patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) persistent infection diagnosed by "three-step diagnosis and treatment procedure" as an example. Using HiPorfin as a photosensitizer, photodynamic therapy was performed 48 hours after intravenous drip. Set laser wavelength 630nm, light dose density 137.58J/cm2, transmission efficiency 1.42, output power 2w. 3cm columnar optical fiber was placed around the 2cm in the cervical canal to cover all the lesions, and the irradiation time was 900s (600s in the cervical canal and 300s outside the cervical canal). The patients were given oxygen inhalation for 6 hours after operation, and the patients were observed for itching and other discomfort, and paid attention to avoid light. Photodynamic therapy was performed again in the same way on the second day. After two months of treatment, pathological biopsy showed chronic cervicitis, indicating that the disease had been effectively controlled. Theoretically, although the patient is not the absolute indication of photodynamic therapy (that is, meeting CIN ? or CIN ?, having fertility requirements and not undergoing surgery), this therapy can remove not only the superficial lesions inside and outside the cervix, but also the potential lesions not found under colposcopy. It can also block the persistent infection of HPV by inhibiting the expression of HPV18, E6 and E7mRNA in Hela cells. In combination with Baofukang suppository, it can block HPV infection. Increase the negative conversion rate of cervical HPV and reduce the probability of recurrence after CIN1 cure. For young female patients with persistent HR-HPV infection and fertility requirements, photodynamic therapy is an effective choice for clinical treatment of CIN1.

Abstract Background People are at a high risk of gastric cancer if their first-degree relatives suffered from atrophic gastritis (AG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN), dysplasia (DYS), or gastric cancer (GC). This study was performed to analyse the association between FDR-GC and GC precursors. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed to screen the prevalence of GC precursors from November 2016 to September 2019. A total of 1329 participants with FDR-GC, 193 participants with a family history of non-gastric cancer in FDRs (FDR-nGC), and 860 participants without a family history of cancer in FDRs (FDR-nC) were recruited in this study. The logistic regression model was used in this study. Results The prevalence of normal, Non-AG, AG/IM, IEN/DYS, and GC was 31.91, 44.21, 13.81, 8.73, and 1.34%, respectively. The prevalence of IEN/DYS was higher in people with FDR-GC and FDR-nGC (FDR-GC: odds ratio (OR) = 1.655; 95%CI, 1.153–2.376; FDR-nGC: OR = 1.984; 95%CI, 1.122–3.506) than those with FDR-nC. The younger the age at which FDRs were diagnosed with GC, the more likely the participants were to develop AG/IM (Ptrend = 0.019). The risk of precursors to GC was higher in participants whose FDR-GC was the mother than in those whose FDR-GC was the father or sibling (OR, non-AG: 1.312 vs. 1.007, 1.274; AG/IM: 1.430 vs. 1.296, 1.378; IEN/DYS: 1.988 vs. 1.573, 1.542). There was no statistically significant difference in non-AG (OR = 1.700; 95%CI, 0.940–3.074), AG/IM (OR = 1.291; 95%CI, 0.579–2.877), and IEN/DYS (OR = 1.265; 95%CI, 0.517–3.096) between participants with one or more FDR-GC. Conclusion People with FDR-GC and FDR-nGC are at a high risk of IEN/DYS. When an FDR was diagnosed at a younger age, the risk of AG/IM was higher. The risk of GC precursors was higher in people whose FDR-GC was the mother.
