Many of
the causes are reported by tumoral lesions of the intestinal tract. We elucidate clinical feature of intussusception of adult. Methods: From 2005 to 2013, 29 cases of intussusception were diagnosed at Ehime http://www.selleckchem.com/products/AZD2281(Olaparib).html Prefectural Central Hospital (69.0 ± 16.5 years old). We evaluated their clinical backgrounds. Results: Average age was 69.0 ± 16.5 years old (range: 16∼89, male : female = 15:14). Intussusception of small intestine were in 10 (34.5%), ileocecal region in 3 (10.3%), and colon in 16 (55.2%). In colon cases, the location was ascending colon in 13 (44.8%), transverse in 2 (6.9%), and descending in 1 (3.4%). All 29 cases could be devided into 2 types; with and without tumors. Seventeen (58.6%) were caused by tumors. Colonic cancer: 11 (37.9%), malignant lymphoma: 3 (10.3%), lipoma: 2 (6.9%), GIST : 1 (3.4%). Twelve were without tumors, postoperative
adhesion were 4 (13.8%), appendicitis were 2 (6.9%) and others (inflammation: 2, dietary by egg-plant: 1, colonic anisakis: 1, ileus tube: 1, small-intestine tumor: 1) were this website 6. Four were treated conservatively (13.8%), 19 were treated with recection (65.5%), 2 could not be treated due to bad general condition (6.9%), and 1 was cared by chemotherapy (3.4%). One case died by other disease (3.4%). Conclusion: In the present study, approximately 40% were not caused by tumors. It is important to keep in mind that there are intussusception cases without tumors and some of them can be treated conservatively.

The present study aimed to investigate the miRNAs associated with the pathogenesis of colon cancer, and to identify their target genes. Methods: The candidate miRNAs were extracted and isolated by analysis of the miRNA microarray chips results between MCE colon cancer and normal colon. The expression levels of differentially expressed miRNAs using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was validated. Results: One of them, miR375 was detected as lower expression level in colon cancer than normal colon tissue. The miR375 targets were predicted using the mRNA microarray analysis of the human colon cell lines, Caco2 and SW480, between the normal cells and the candidate miRNA over-expressed cells. The several candidate target genes for MIR375 were identified and validated.
