Microsatellite instability in gastric cancer: molecular bases,clinical perspectives,and new treatment approaches

Gastric cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, with limited treatment options in both locally advanced and metastatic setting, resulting in poor prognosis. Based on genomic characterization, stomach tumour has recently been described as a heterogeneous disease composed by different subtypes, each of them with peculiar molecular aspects and specific clinical behaviour. With an incidence of 22% among all western gastric tumour cases, stomach cancer with microsatellite instability was identified as one of these subgroups. Retrospective studies and limited prospective trials reported differences between gastric cancers with microsatellite stability and those with instability, mainly concerning clinical and pathological features, but also in regard to immunological microenvironment, correlation with prognostic value, and responses to treatment. In particular, gastric cancer with microsatellite instability constitutes a small but relevant subgroup associated with older age, female sex, distal stomach location, and lower number of lymph-node metastases. Emerging data attribute to microsatellite instability status a favourable prognostic meaning, whereas the poor outcomes reported after perioperative chemotherapy administration suggest a detrimental role of cytotoxic drugs in this gastric cancer subgroup. The strong immunogenicity and the widespread expression of immune-checkpoint ligands make microsatellite instability subtype more vulnerable to immunotherapeutic approach, e.g., with anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA4 antibodies. Since gastric cancer with microsatellite instability shows specific features and clinical behaviour not overlapping with microsatellite stable disease, microsatellite instability test might be suitable for inclusion in a diagnostic setting for all tumour stages to guarantee the most targeted and effective treatment to every patient.

DEGREE CONDITIONS FOR GRAPHS TO BE FRACTIONAL （a, b, n）-CRITICAL GRAPHS

Let G be a graph, and a and b be integers with a ≤ b. A graph G is called a fraetional （a, b, n）-critical graph if after any n vertices of G are deleted the remaining subgraph has a fractional [a, b]-factor. In this paper two degree conditions for graphs to be fractional （a, b, n）-eritical graphs are presented, and the degree conditions are sharp in some sense.     

The influence of chronic nicotine treatment on stress-induced gastric ulceration and emptying rate in rats.

Ten-day treatment with nicotine (5, 25 or 50 micrograms/ml drinking water) dose-dependently intensified gastric ulceration induced by cold-restraint, and emptying rate. Stomach contractions produced by graded doses of bethanechol i.v. were elevated further by nicotine treatment. It is suggested that chronic nicotine administration produces hypersensitivity of the gastric muscarinic receptors; stomach hypermotility contributes to the ulcer-worsening action of the alkaloid.

燃料添加剂对柴油机烟粒燃烧的影响

考察了燃料添加剂对降低柴油机烟粒燃点温度的效应。含金属添加剂的柴油机烟粒被收集在金属纤维过滤器上,把原状烟粒样品移入实验室反应器,用模拟柴油机排气进行燃烧试验。实验结果表明,当烟粒中含有Pd或Cu时,烟粒的燃点温度可降至430℃左右(普通柴油机烟粒的燃点温度约600℃);Pd的添加还可大大降低烟粒一次燃烧产物中CO的分率。文中还对金属(催化剂)/烟粒接触程度和添加剂溶液中可燃性部分对烟粒燃烧的影响作了讨论。
