question:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of FDG-PET following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on treatment planning and survival in patients with oesophageal cancer (OC).', 'Fifty-three consecutive OC patients had a post-treatment PET scan to evaluate tumour response to CRT prior to possible surgery. Baseline pre-CRT PET was performed in 33 patients. Prospectively recorded post-CRT management plans were compared with post-PET treatment. High impact was defined as a change in treatment intent or modality. Survival was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method and Cox proportional hazards regression model.', 'After completion of CRT, 23/53 patients (43%) achieved complete metabolic response (CMR), as compared with only four (8%) with complete response on computed tomography. High PET impact was observed in 19 patients (36%). CMR was strongly predictive of survival (p<0.008) on multivariate analysis. CMR patients in whom resection was not performed had comparable survival to those (CMR and non-CMR) who underwent resection.
answer:
Does fDG-PET status following chemoradiotherapy provide high management impact and powerful prognostic stratification in oesophageal cancer?


question:
The objective of this study is to characterize differential proteomic expression among well-differentiation and poor-differentiation colorectal carcinoma tissues and normal mucous epithelium.', 'The study is based on quantitative 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and analyzed by PDquest.', 'Excluding redundancies due to proteolysis and posttranslational modified isoforms of over 600 protein spots, 11 proteins were revealed as regulated with statistical variance being within the 95th confidence level and were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting in matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Progression-associated proteins belong to the functional complexes of tumorigenesis, proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, and the regulation of major histocompatibility complex processing and other functions. Partial but significant overlap was revealed with previous proteomics and transcriptomics studies in CRC. Among various differentiation stage of CRC tissues, we identified calreticulin precursor, MHC class I antigen (human leukocyte antigen A ), glutathione S-transferase pi1, keratin 8, heat shock protein 27, tubulin beta chain, triosephosphate, fatty acid-binding protein, hemoglobin (deoxy) mutant with val b 1 replaced by met (HBB), and zinc finger protein 312 (FEZF2).
answer:
Does proteomic analysis reveal novel proteins associated with progression and differentiation of colorectal carcinoma?


question:
Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the major chemotherapeutic drugs, but tumor cells' acquired resistance to CDDP limits its therapeutic potentials. One of the main reasons of resistance is reduced drug accumulation. The mechanism by which tumor cells accumulate reduced CDDP is not well elucidated yet. The aim of this study was to investigate what regulates intracellular CDDP accumulation.", 'Six different types of oral squamous carcinoma cells were used in this study. Assessment of CDDP sensitivity was determined by measuring the ATP level of the cells. Intracellular CDDP and copper (Cu) accumulation were measured and CDDP efflux study was conducted. Assessment of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha and beta subunits, ATP7A and ATP7B was done by western blotting. Specific activities of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and copper-transporting P-type ATPase (Cu(2+)-ATPase) were detected and a role of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitor in intracellular CDDP accumulation was examined.', 'Among the cells HSC-3 and BHY cells were found most CDDP-sensitive and CDDP-resistant, respectively. The most CDDP-sensitive HSC-3 cells exhibited an increased intracellular cisplatin accumulation, high Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and over-expressed Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha and beta subunits, ATP7A and ATP7B, compared to the most CDDP-resistant BHY cells, but there were no such differences between the two in the CDDP efflux level or Cu(2+)-ATPase activity. Moreover, pretreatment with Na(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitor markedly reduced intracellular cisplatin accumulation.
answer:

Is cisplatin sensitivity of oral squamous carcinoma cells regulated by Na+ , K+-ATPase activity rather than copper-transporting P-type ATPases , ATP7A and ATP7B?
