Objective Stathmin, a microtubule-destabilizing protein , has high expression in esophageal squamous cell carci-noma(ESCC), while taxol is a common chemotherapy microtubule-targeted drug for esophageal cancer .This study aimed to investigate the impact of stathmin expression and its influence on taxol sensitivity in ESCC . Methods We established 2 cell models with ST-MN1 gene overexpression in KYSE 510 and KYSE 170 cell lines, including KYSE 510-Stathmin, KYSE 170-Stathmin, KYSE 510-Control and KYSE 170-Control.MTT assay and colony formation were applied to compare the taxol sensitivity between experimental group and control group .Flow cytometry was used to measure the apoptosis of KYSE 510-Stathmin and KYSE 510-Control after taxol treatment.Western blot was used to test the changes of related factors to apoptosis and autophagy . Results ①Stathmin protein ex-pressions in KYSE 510-Stathmin and KYSE 170-Stathmin cells were higher than those of control cells (P<0.01).② The percentages of inhibition were significantly decreased in KYSE 510-Stathmin and KYSE 170-Stathmin cells 24 h after 50, 100,250 nmol/L taxol treat-ment compared with KYSE 510-Stathmin cells(P <0.01).③The percentages of inhibition were significantly reduced in KYSE 510-Stathmin and KYSE 170-Stathmin cells after 250 nM taxol treatment for 24, 48, 60 h (P<0.01).④After taxol treatment,the number of colony formation in KYSE 510-Stathmin cells was higher com-pared with KYSE 510-Control cells (P<0.01).⑤The percentage of cell apoptosis in KYSE 510-Stathmin was significantly lower than that of KYSE 510-Control cells by flow cytometry (11.90%±0.78%vs 29.63%±3.26%, P<0.05).Western blot showed the ap-optosis of associated proteins such as the activation of Caspase 8 and Caspas9. Conclusion The result indicates that overexpression of stathmin inhibits taxol sensitivity in ESCC cell lines .

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between lifestyle factors and depressive symptoms based on the TCLSIH cohort of 2013-2016 and provide evidence for the intervention on lifestyle in the prevention and treatment of depression in the future.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in 24 256 persons by using a self-rating depression scale (SDS) to assess the depressive symptoms, and lifestyle questionnaire survey and physical examination were carried out. By using software SAS 9.3. The study subjects were divided into two groups: non-depression group (SDS score <45) and depression group (SDS score≥45), and the relationship between lifestyle factors and depressive symptoms was analyzed.Results:The study subjects in depression group accounted for 16.59 %; the baseline survey showed that compared with non-depression group, the subjects in depression group had higher neutrophil count and lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), lower BMI, lower total energy intake, and lower physical activity level, and tended to take less plant food diet, more animal food diet and sweet food diet ( P<0.000 1). In the depressive group, there were more smokers and less occasional drinkers ( P<0.01), and there were more women, home-aloners, people with lower education levels, people with lower total household income, and less staff members, married and those who liked to contact relatives and friends, but the proportion of people who spent more than 5 hours daily for outdoor activities was higher. Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that being male, aged, NLR, smoking ( OR=1.14, 95 %CI: 1.03-1.26), quitting alcohol, being home-aloners, animal food diet ( OR=1.41, 95 %CI:1.35-1.46), sweet food diet ( OR=1.17, 95 %CI: 1.13-1.22), sleep time >7.5 h/d, outdoor activity time 3-5 h/d, outdoor activity time >5 h/d were positively correlated with depression ( P<0.05). BMI( OR=0.98, 95 %CI: 0.97-0.99), education level ( OR=0.76, 95 %CI: 0.70-0.82), being staff member, total household income ( OR=0.63, 95 %CI: 0.58-0.68), total energy intake, physical activity ( OR=0.86, 95 %CI: 0.84-0.89), married status, move contacts with relatives or friends were negatively related with depression ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Lifestyle is closely related to the occurrence of depressive symptoms, and lifestyle intervention seems be a new way to prevent and treat depression.
