Objective To detect the expression of Ezrin in giant-cell tumor of bone,and to investigate its cilincal significance. Methods 60 cases of biopsy which had been confirmed as bone giant-cell tumors in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2013 were set as observation group;tumor tissues from 8 cases of reactive new bone in nonmalignant bone diseases,12 cases of osteoid osteoma and 11 cases of osteoblastoma in the corresponding period were set as control group. Protein and gene levels of Ezrin were tested with Western blotting method and real-time PCR detection,simultaneously proceeded the corresponding analysis combined with the clinical data of patients;60 cases of bone giant-cell tumor patients accepted tumor resection and pros-thesis replacement,2 courses of preoperative chemotherapy;mitochondria morphological changes of tumor tissue and Ezrin protein and genetic changes were observed before and after chemotherapy. Results In the giant-cell tumors of bone,the Ezrin protein mainly located in the cytoplasm,and its expression positive rate was much higher than that in reactive new bone of nonmalignant bone diseases(19. 7% ),osteoid osteoma(21. 2% )and osteoblastoma(20. 7% );the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 4. 18,P = 0. 024),but no statistical difference in the Ezrin expression among the groups of osteosarcoma,osteoid osteoma and osteblastoma(χ2 =6. 18,P = 0. 087). In the giant-cell tumors of bone tissue after chemotherapy,mitochondria pyknosis and the phenomenon of liquid cavitation was less than that before the treatment,and Ezrin protein expression decreased and gene levels reduced[(23. 99 ± 1. 49)vs(20. 11 ± 1. 11),t = 5. 03,P = 0. 018)]. Conclusion The expression of Ezrin in giant-cell tumor of bone is much higher than other benign bone tumor,and it could be a biological marker for differentiating benign and malignant bone tumor. Early intervention in Ezrin may be helpful for reatment of giant-cell tumor of bone.

Objective:To investigate the values of genetic polymorphisms of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1), thymidylate synthase (TS), glutathione-S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) in predicting the prognosis of advanced esophageal cancer patients treated with cisplatin/fluorouracil chemotherapy.Methods:One hundred and seven patients with advanced esophageal cancer were enrolled in this study, 98 of which were eligible for analysis. All patients received cisplatin/fluorouracil chemotherapy repeated every three cycles. Genetic polymorphisms examined herein included those in the genes coding ERCC1, TS, GSTP1 and MTHFR. Then the relationships between genetic polymorphisms and response rate (RR) and progression free survival (PFS) time were analyzed. Results:The patients with A/A or A/C genotype in ERCC1-C8092A had a higher response rate and longer PFS than the patients with C/C genotype (P=0.010,P=0.008);the patients with 2R2R or 2R3C or 3C3C genotype in TS-5'UTR had a higher response rate and longer PFS than the patients with 2R3G or 3C3G or 3G3G (P=0.007,P=0.018). There was no significant relationship between RR and PFS and other genetic polymorphisms. Conclusion:The advanced esophageal cancer patients with A/A or A/C genotype in ERCC1-C8092A and/or 2R2R or 2R3C or 3C3C genotype in TS-5'UTR were more sensitive to cisplatin/fluorouracil chemotherapy.

Objective: To test the feasibility of drag-reducing polymers (DRP) for improving coronary microcirculation in a canine model in order to provide the experimental basis for treating myocardial microcirculation dysfunction. Methods: A total of 8 dogs received open-chest surgery and they had intravenous injections, in turn, with adenosine (ADN), DRP 250 mg/L and DRP+ADN. The function y=A × (1-e-βt) was used to calculate the myocardium capillary volume (A value), capillary velocity (β value) and myocardial blood lfow (A ? β value) by myocardial contrast echocardiography. Results: With DRP infusion, the A value in experimental canine was similar to the baseline condition,P>0.05; while theβ value and A ? β value were signiifcantly increased as (0.57 ± 0.10) 1/s vs (0.23 ± 0.03) 1/s,P<0.01 and (11.51 ± 1.96) VI/s vs (5.15 ± 0.86) VI/s,P <0.05 respectively. With combined infusion of DRP+ADN, the β value and A ? β value were similar to the baseline condition, bothP>0.05. Conclusion: DRP improved coronary microcirculation primarily by modulating the β value in experimental canine model, and hopefully, this unique hemodynamics could provide a new approach for treating myocardial microcirculation dysfunction.
