Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. The incidence of breast cancer in 2014 in the Republic of Mordovia was 69.9 per 100,000 female populations. Breast cancer occurs when excessive expression of oncoproteins switches in the case of transformation of proto-oncogene in PRADI. In primary breast tumors, mutations and the expression of the three oncogenes Her2/neu, C-mys, Int-2, as well as in supressonyh genes – the p53 gene and the retinoblastoma gene RB are the most common. Several studies found that oncogene – C-mys was expressed in 16.8% of primary breast cancer cases and in 35% cases with subsequent development of metastases. Proteins that stimulate the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinasescan activateunder the influence of growth factors. Development of breast cancer is regulated by a complex interaction of many hormones and growth factors. Currently, one of the leading theories of developing breast cancer is the increased hormonal stimulation of proliferative processes in the development of neoplasia. One of the manifestations of hormonal imbalance in tumor during a regular decrease in blood competitive inhibitor of the biological effects of estrogen – progesterone, which is in correlation with the stage of the spread of neoplasia. The role of the overproduction of estrogen in the pathogenesis of breast cancer is confirmed by the fact that in women who underwent oophorectomy before the age of 38 years, the risk of breast cancer development is 1.5 times less than in those who did not have such operation. Excessive accumulation of lipid peroxidation products in the area of neoplasia activates mechanisms violation of intercellular interaction that caused the destruction of the lipid components of membranes.
The study group included 112 patients treated at the State Institution of Health of the Republic of Mordovia “National Oncology Center”. To identify the nature of tumors, all patients underwent immunohistochemical analysis. Androgen receptors were found in 48% of breast cancer cases, the expression level of androgen receptor in the tumor was much lower than the expression level of estrogen and progesterone receptors. Low levels of progesterone receptor expression in breast cancer cells were combined with high levels of expression of Ki-67 antigen, HER-2 oncoprotein in tumor cells. Patients with HER-2 (3+) and (2+) had more frequent multiple metastases in lymph nodes compared to patients with HER-2 (0) and (1+) phenotypes. Maximum expression of HER-2 oncoprotein in tumor cells indicated high metastatic potential and poor prognosis.
It may be concluded that the cellular and molecular mechanisms of breast cancer are complex. Therefore, carcinogenesis has a “multistep” nature and at least two or more mutations in the cells of the same clone – parent and child are required to generate malignant tumors. Thus, the development of oncogenic transformation does not necessarily mean the pro

Background
Opisthorchiasis is a form of foodborne trematodiasis which is caused by liver flukes. It has been shown that a chronic Opisthorchiasis infection increases a risk of cholagiocarcinoma of liver. It is commonly believed that a gradual change of homeostasis in a parasite microenvironment (bile) leads to liver fluke-induced cancer. Nevertheless, no systematic, analytically driven studies confirming this hypothesis have been published yet. The restricted access to clinical material and extreme complexity of the biological matrix (bile) both are the important “rate limiting factors” for a progress in the field. Here we present for the first time a cross-platform mass spectrometric analysis of bile juice collected from the patients with cholangiocarcinoma-associated diseases. We show that an effective analysis of such complex biological matrix as bile juice requires a combination of orthogonal analytical platforms (e.g. RPLC–MS and HILIC–MS) maximizing coverage of the metabolic space.
Materials and methods
28 patients with O. felineus infection and 30 negative controls were included in the study. The infection status was confirmed using microscopy analysis of the bile. Bile samples were collected from the gallbladder using sterile puncture, directly frozen and stored at −80 °C until analysis. The samples were randomized and organized into the acquisition blocks consisting of the samples and quality controls (QC). Experiments were carried out with a Dionex Ultimate 3000 LC system (Thermo Scientific/Dionex, The Netherlands) equipped with a Dual Gradient Separation pump allowing for parallel LC analysis, and hyphenated to an Impact UHR-qTOF mass analyzer (Bruker Daltonics, Germany). Reversed-phase experiments (RPLC) were performed with an UHPLC BEH Shield RP18 column 100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm (Waters) and HILIC experiments with a Luna HILIC column (Phenomenex, The Netherlands) of 100 2.00 mm, 3 μ m. RPLC data were acquired in ESI positive mode and HILIC in negative mode, respectively. The data acquisition rate was set to 1 Hz over a mass range of m/z 50–1000. The LC–MS data files were aligned by using the in-house developed alignment algorithm MS-Align 2 tool (www.ms-utils.org/msalign2).
Results
After the data prepressing, which includes alignment, noise filtering and peak picking two data matrixes costing of 412 features (metabolites) for RPLC and 428 ones for HILIC were generated. To evaluate a degree of similarity between the two data matrixes the RV coefficient (a multivariate extension of correlation coefficient) was used. The coefficient has flattened at 0.58 showing that despite a strong overlap between the datasets there is a substantial number of the

Malignant tumors consist not only of neoplastic cells, but also of various normal cells, for example fibroblasts, macrophages or endothelial cells. These normal cells stand under constant pressure of transformed cells, regulating their properties and converting them into tumor-promoting cells. Tumor-stroma interaction takes place during all stages of carcinogenesis. Notch activation upon receptor binding with the ligand is a way of direct intercellular communication during embryo- and histogenesis, determining various processes like differentiation, proliferation, etc. It has been previously shown that in tumors this signaling cascade regulates not only properties of transformed cells, but also stromal cells activities, i.e. neoangiogenesis. The Notch role in communication between neoplastic cells and stromal fibroblasts is underinvestigated.
Cancer-associated stromal fibroblasts (CAFs) are an important component of tumors secreting growth factors and proteases, modulating immune reactions and contributing to cancer stem cells niches formation. CAFs resemble myofibroblasts and express Smooth-Muscle Actin (SMA).
We obtained and characterized cultures of normal mesenchymal cells: a myofibroblasts-like (MF), and fibroblasts-like MC1 and MC2, differing by Notch1 expression. These cell cultures variously influenced growth of colon cancer notch- ligand Jagged2-positive HCT116 xenographs in nude mice. MF cells were characterized by the strongest while Notch1-deficient MC2 by the weakest tumor-promoting activity.
MC1 but not MC2 started to express SMA upon co-cultivation in vitro with neoplastic HCT116 cells. Such co-cultivation also lead to Notch activation according to a luciferase reporter. NICD (Notch Intracellular Domain) expression activated MC1 and MC2, while Notch1 silencing in MC1 abrogated both HCT116-mediated activation of the fibroblasts in vitro and their tumor-promoting activity in vivo.
Notch signaling in mesenchymal cells stimulated TGFb production that lead to both autocrine and paracrine receptors stimulation. We believe that this cytokine activates fibroblasts in our experimental system. We also revealed that this process was p53-dependent.
So we have shown Notch1 to be involved in tumor-stroma interaction, particularly its activation leading to fibroblasts transdifferentiation. Notch1-stimulated fibroblasts are able to produce TGFb and to promote tumor growth in xenographs. The tumor-stimulating potency of various fibroblasts in our experimental system depends on their ability to transdifferentiate to myofibroblasts upon Notch activation.

Numerous studies have shown that high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) led to a profound and long-lasting state of immunodeficiency characterized by persisting low levels of T cells in hemoblastosis patients. Well-timed T-cell reconstitution is crucial for early restoration of anti-infectious and anti- tumor immune response. Lymphocyte recovery is mediated through the two main mechanisms – a homeostatic proliferation of T cells and generation of new naive T cells via thymopoiesis. It is known, that homeostatic proliferation is important for the restoration of T cell count in immune competent host during the 1st year following AHSCT. Thymus begins to fill up T cell repertoire approximately from the 6th month following AHSCT.
We have investigated dynamics of CD4+FOXP3+ Treg recovery following AHSCT and possible relationship between Tregs and clinical outcomes since the suppressive activity of Tregs under lymphopenic conditions may influence on peripheral expansion of T cells. Thymic activity following AHSCT has been evaluated by measuring amounts of CD4+ CD45RA+CD31+ naïve T cells, i.e. “recent thymic emigrants” (RTEs).109 patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma underwent AHSCT in 2009–2014. The content of circulating CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs and CD4+CD45RA+CD31+ T cells was evaluated using flow cytometry before AHSCT, at the day of engraftment, and following 6 and 12 months.
Pre-transplant count of CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs was significantly higher compared to healthy controls (5.4 ± 2.9 vs 3.8 ± 1.9%; pU = 0.011; here and below data presented as Mean ± SD). Percentage of Tregs restored rapidly and reached initially high level at the time of engraftment, and then subsequently decreased within a year until it lowered to healthy donors‘ values. CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs at the time of engraftment were increased in patients with relapse or progression of disease within 6 and 12 months following AHSCT compared to non-relapsed patients (11.0 ± 6.1 vs 6.2 ± 3.0%; pU = 0.016, and 10.1 ± 5.2 vs 6.1 ± 3.8%; pU = 0.008). Pre-transplant count of CD4+CD45RA+CD31+ T cells was significantly lower compared to healthy controls (17.1 ± 11.4 vs 30.3 ± 11.2%, pU = 0.0005) and did not reach donors‘ values following 12 month (23.1 ± 13.5%, pU = 0.032). Relapsed patients had the same quantity of RTEs as the patients with remission within the 1st year following AHSCT. There was no any significant association between RTEs and Tregs counts.
Surprisingly, we have found high levels of circulating CD4+CD45RA- T cells co-expressing CD31 molecule i
大量研究表明,大剂量化疗和自体造血干细胞移植(AHSCT)导致造血细胞病患者持续低水平T细胞的长期免疫缺陷状态。适时的t细胞重建对于抗感染和抗肿瘤免疫应答的早期恢复至关重要。淋巴细胞的恢复是通过两种主要机制介导的——T细胞的稳态增殖和通过胸腺生成产生新的初始T细胞。已知,在AHSCT后的第一年,稳态增殖对于免疫能力宿主T细胞计数的恢复是重要的。大约从AHSCT后6个月胸腺开始填补T细胞库。我们研究了AHSCT后CD4+FOXP3+ Treg恢复的动态,以及Treg与临床结果之间的可能关系,因为淋巴细胞减少条件下Treg的抑制活性可能影响T细胞的外周扩增。AHSCT后胸腺活动通过测量CD4+ CD45RA+CD31+ naïve T细胞的数量来评估,即“近期胸腺移植物”(rte)。2009-2014年,109例非霍奇金淋巴瘤、霍奇金淋巴瘤和多发性骨髓瘤患者接受了AHSCT。流式细胞术检测AHSCT前、移植当日、移植后6个月和12个月循环CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs和CD4+CD45RA+CD31+ T细胞的含量。移植前CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs计数明显高于健康对照组(5.4±2.9 vs 3.8±1.9%;pU = 0.011;此处和以下数据以Mean±SD表示)。Tregs的百分比迅速恢复,并在移植时达到最初的高水平,随后在一年内下降,直到降至健康供体的值。移植时CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs在AHSCT后6个月和12个月内复发或疾病进展的患者中与非复发患者相比增加(11.0±6.1 vs 6.2±3.0%;pU = 0.016,和10.1±5.2 vs 6.1±3.8%;pU = 0.008)。移植前CD4+CD45RA+CD31+ T细胞计数明显低于健康对照组(17.1±11.4 vs 30.3±11.2%,pU = 0.0005), 12个月后未达到供者水平(23.1±13.5%,pU = 0.032)。在AHSCT后的第一年内,复发患者的rte数量与缓解患者相同。rte和Tregs之间没有明显的联系。令人惊讶的是,我们在AHSCT患者中发现了高水平的循环CD4+CD45RA- T细胞共表达CD31分子,因为该分子在健康对照组的记忆亚群中并不常见(20.7±12.0 vs 8.2±2.1%,pU <0.00001)。CD4+CD45RA-CD31+ T细胞相对数量与CD4+CD45RO+CD31+人群高度相关(rS=0.72;p & lt;0.00001)。CD4+CD45RA-CD31+ T细胞计数在AHSCT术后1个月内迅速恢复,恢复到移植前水平,并在随访期间保持不变。移植后1年内早期复发和缓解患者的CD4+CD45RA-CD31+ T细胞相对计数无差异。我们关于Tregs重组的数据可能证实了之前的假设,即在免疫恢复期间Tregs的存在保持了最佳的T细胞受体多样性。然而,这些细胞的过量导致增殖活性和免疫反应的抑制,并与早期复发有关。相反,相对缓慢的rte恢复决定了它们在移植后第一年内对生存缺乏影响。CD31分子在T细胞记忆亚群(CD4+CD45RA-和/或CD4+CD45RO+)中的生物学作用和出现方式尚不清楚。CD31+记忆T细胞在淋巴增生性疾病发病机制中的作用有待进一步研究。

Background
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy in the lower lip. Although lower lip squamous cell carcinoma is slow growing, up to 29% of tumors develop metastases to the cervical lymph nodes. Thus, identification of biological markers that could provide prognostic information about the invasive or metastatic potential of these lesions is important. It is known that angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and proliferation play an important role in tumor progression. Therefore, the goal of this study was to analyze the immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67, CD34 and Podoplanin in hyperkeratosis and in squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. It was intended to assess the possibility of using such markers as indicators of morphological aggressiveness of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip (LLSCC).
Materials and methods
Seventy-one cases of the lower lip lesions, obtained from the files of Novosibirsk Regional Oncology Center were selected for this study. The specimens were divided into three groups: a lower lip hyperkeratosis group consisting of 22 cases; LLSCC with keratinization consisting of 34 cases and LLSCC without keratinization consisting of 15 cases. To analyze angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and proliferation, we performed immunostains of the lower lip biopsy material for the CD34, vascular marker, Podoplanin, lymphatic-specific markers and Ki-67, marker of proliferation. Tissue samples were fixed in 10% neutral formalin, processed by standard histological techniques and embedded in paraffin. All steps of the immunohistochemical reaction were performed by using BENCHMARK/XT slide stainer (Ventana). The lymphatic and blood vessels volume density and Ki-67 cells numerical density were morphometrically analyzed in all groups and compared using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test. A level of significance of 5% (p < 0.05) was adopted for all tests.
Results
All cases of a lower lip hyperkeratosis and LLSCC were positive for Ki-67, CD34 and Podoplanin. With respect to the pattern of staining, specimens exhibited a predominantly peripheral staining for CD34 and Podoplanin in inflammatory infiltrates and tumor sites. In contrast, staining for Ki-67 was predominantly central in inflammatory infiltrates and tumor sites in hyperkeratosis and LLSCC. When compared to lower lip hyperkeratosis, LLSCC (both with keratinization and without keratinization) showed a higher number of immunopositive Ki-67 cells (by 64% and 77%, respectively, p < 0.05). It was found that proliferative activity of tumor cells in LLSCC with keratinization was 2 times higher than that in LLSCC without keratinization. Comparison of the volume density of blood vessels showed that the density of CD34+ – blood vessels in hyperkeratosis was lower by 77% than in LLSCC without keratinization and lower by 64% than in

The Chelyabinsk region is a classic example of the technologically-saturated region. The index of pollution of atmospheric air is estimated as high. The Chelyabinsk region is among the areas of increased cancer risk. The incidence of head and neck cancer is steadily increasing, accounting for 20–25% of all cancer cases in Russia. Oropharyngeal cancer makes up 5.1% of all cancers.
Materials and methods
The object of the study was the population of the Chelyabinsk region. The analysis was conducted according to the materials of the annual reports of the statistics department of the Chelyabinsk district oncology dispensary.
Results
Out of the total cancer cases for the population of Chelyabinsk region in 2014, oro-pharyngeal cancer comprised 2.06%, including cancers of the lip (0.35%), tongue (0.47%), major salivary glands (0.22%), other unspecified parts of the mouth (0.52%), oropharynx (0.33%), nasopharynx (0.1%) and hypopharynx (0.07%). From 2008 to 2014, the incidence of oral and pharyngeal cancer among adult population of Chelyabinsk city and Chelyabinsk region showed an 8.8% increase. In the period from 2011 to 2014, the incidence of oral and pharyngeal cancer tended to increase, the overall rise being 71.8%. It should be noted that the oral and pharyngeal cancer incidence was 3 times higher in males than in females in 2013 and 2 times higher in 2014. One of the main indicators that determine the prognosis for the development of cancer, is the extent of tumor at time of diagnosis.
Out of the total cancer cases for the population of Chelyabinsk region in 2014, cancer of the oral cavity comprised 1.33%, pharyngeal cancer 0.6%, lip cancer 0.13%, ranking the 17th, 19th and 24th place respectively among the causes of death from all cancers. Analyzing the dynamics of mortality from cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx during the study period, it was revealed that the mortality rate increased by 0.7%.
Conclusion
Head and neck tumors are a rare group of clinically and biologically diverse neoplastic diseases. Among the residents of the Chelyabinsk region, men are 2–3 times more susceptible to cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx than women. High mortality rate is due to late referral of patients to specialized clinics; most head and neck cancer patients are diagnosed at advanced stages.

Background
To evaluate the clinical symptoms in pancreatic cancer patients (PCa) and compare some biochemical blood serum parameters in patients with different pathology of the pancreas (PCa, acute (OP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP)).
Materials and methods
During a one-time clinical research on the type of “series of cases” 130 patients were examined (42 patients with OP, 81 – CP and 7 patients with PCa). The diagnosis of PCa, OP, CP was verified by clinical and instrumental methods. Glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride and bilirubin serum levels were determined by ELISA.
Results
The mean age of patients with PCa was 63.6 ± 4.9 years, morbidity duration of PCa – 3.5 ± 1.1 months. Among patients with PCa, 83.3% of people – smoked, 16.7% – smoked every day. Half of the respondents PCa patients noted that over the last year they did not drink alcohol; 16.7% of people – drank alcohol several times a year, and 33.3% of patients consumed alcohol 1–2 times a month. BMI of PCa patients was equal to 26.3 ± 3.5 kg/m2, in OP patients – 23.8 ± 1.0 kg/m2, in CP patients – 26.3 ± 0.6 kg/m2, p > 0.05. In this case, 85.7% of PCa patients noted a significant decrease in body weight (11.7 ± 6.0 kg) for 3–4 months after the onset of symptoms. There was no pain in 42.8% of PCa patients, and frequent pain noted only in 28.6% of persons. Among CP patients, frequent and persistent pain noted in 65.5% of patients and among OP patients in 48.6% of cases. All PCa patients experienced pain in the right upper quadrant. Pain was of low intensity in 75% of cases and moderate in 25% of cases. Elimination of pain was observed in half of the PCa patients, and 1/4 of patients continued to experience pain. Episodes of nausea and vomiting noted in 25% of PCa patients. Bloated feeling in the stomach and overflow were noted in 42.8% of the all surveyed PCa persons. The level of glucose in PCa patients exceeded the normal limits and was significantly higher compared to that in OP and CP patients (8.5 ± 1.4 mmol/L, 5.4 ± 0.3 and 5.1 ± 0.1 mmol/L, respectively, p < 0.05). Hyperbilirubinemia was detected in PCa patients – 89.9 ± 27.5 μmol/L; in OP and CP patients bilirubin levels were 32.2 ± 11.0 and 13.4 ± 1.8 μmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in patients with PCa, p < 0.05. Triglyceride levels did not differ in patients with different pancreas diseases (PCa – 1.7 ± 0.3, CP – 1.86 ± 0.1 and OP –1.88<
