          Abstract

          MicroRNA-29a (miR-29a) has recently been in the spotlight as a tumor suppressor whose encoding gene is frequently suppressed in cancers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological functions and underlying molecular mechanism by which miR-29a-3p suppresses gastric cancer peritoneum metastasis. Cell proliferation, colony-forming, wound healing and Transwell migration assays were performed in the present study. MiR-29a-3p expression was markedly decreased in gastric cancer cell lines with stronger metastatic potential. Silencing miR-29a-3p expression promoted gastric cancer cell proliferation, colony-forming, migration and invasion. By contrast, overexpression of miR-29a-3p inhibited these biological phenotypes. In addition, it was revealed that miR-29a-3p functioned through downregulating hyaluronan synthase 3 expression. Collectively, dysregulated miR-29a-3p expression in gastric cancer cells was associated with malignant properties primarily relevant to migration and metastasis. The results suggest that miR-29a-3p may be a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

            Recurrence following curative resection for gastric carcinoma.

            The diagnosis and treatment of recurrent gastric cancer remains difficult. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for recurrence of gastric cancer and the prognosis for these patients. Of 2328 patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer from 1987 to 1995, 508 whose recurrence was confirmed by clinical examination or reoperation were studied retrospectively. The risk factors that determined the recurrence patterns and timing were investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis. The mean time to recurrence was 21.8 months and peritoneal recurrence was the most frequent (45.9 per cent). Logistic regression analysis showed that serosal invasion and lymph node metastasis were risk factors for all recurrence patterns and early recurrence (at 24 months or less). In addition, independent risk factors involved in each recurrence pattern included younger age, infiltrative or diffuse type, undifferentiated tumour and total gastrectomy for peritoneal recurrence; older age and larger tumour size for disseminated, haematogenous recurrence; and older age, larger tumour size, infiltrative or diffuse type, proximally located tumour and subtotal gastrectomy for locoregional recurrence. Other risk factors for early recurrence were infiltrative or diffuse type and total gastrectomy. Reoperation for cure was possible in only 19 patients and the mean survival time after conservative treatment or palliative operation was less than 12 months. The risk factors for each recurrence pattern and timing of gastric cancer can be predicted by the clinicopathological features of the primary tumour. Since the results of treatment remain dismal, studies of perioperative adjuvant therapy in an attempt to reduce recurrence are warranted.

              Incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in China.

              Ling Yang (2006)
              Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in the world; almost two-thirds of gastric cancer cases and deaths occur in less developed regions. In China, based on two national mortality surveys conducted in 1970s and 1990s, there is an obvious clustering of geographical distribution of gastric cancer in the country, with the high mortality being mostly located in rural areas, especially in Gansu, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi Provinces in the middle-western part of China. Despite a slight increase from the 1970s to early 1990s, remarkable declines in gastric cancer mortality were noticed in almost the entire population during the last decade in China. These declines were largely due to the dramatic improvements in the social-economic environment, lifestyle, nutrition, education and health care system after economic reforms started two decades ago. Nevertheless, gastric cancer will remain a significant cancer burden currently and be one of the key issues in cancer prevention and control strategy in China. It was predicted that, in 2005, 0.3 million deaths and 0.4 million new cases from gastric cancer would rank the third most common cancer. The essential package of the prevention and control strategy for gastric cancer in China would focus on controlling Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, improving educational levels, advocating healthy diet and anti-tobacco campaign, searching for cost-effective early detection, diagnosis and treatment programs including approaches for curable management and palliative care.
