Esophageal cancer is one of the common malignancies of the digestive tract, and its exact etiology and pathogenesis have not been completely clear. The establishment of animal model of esophageal cancer provides support for the basic and preclinical research of esophageal cancer, which is of great significance for further study to clarify the pathogenesis and explore the development of new therapeutic drugs. At present, the animal models commonly used in the study of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma mainly include chemical induction model, heterotopic transplantation model and orthotopic transplantation model. With the continuous progress of animal research on human origin tumor, the human transplanted tumor model has been more and more widely used. No matter which model has its own advantages and disadvantages and applicability, should be selected according to the purpose of the experiment. In this paper, the research progress on animal models of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in recent years is reviewed, and the models commonly used in scientific research and preclinical treatment are discussed, which may provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment.

More and more medical devices can capture different features of human body and form three dimensional (3D) images. In clinical applications, usually it is required to fuse multiple source images containing different and crucial information into one for the purpose of assisting medical treatment. However, traditional image fusion methods are normally designed for two dimensional (2D) images and will lead to loss of the third dimensional information if directly applied to 3D data. Therefore, a novel 3D magnetic image fusion method was proposed based on the combination of newly invented beyond wavelet transform, called 3D band limited shearlet transformand (BLST), and four groups of traditional fusion rules. The proposed method was then compared with the 2D and 3D wavelet and dual-tree complex wavelet transform fusion methods through 4 groups of human brain T2* and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) images. The experiments indicated that the performance of the method based on 3D transform was generally superior to the existing methods based on 2D transform. Taking advantage of direction representation, shearlet transform could effectively improve the performance of conventional fusion method based on 3D transform. It is well concluded, therefore, that the proposed method is the best among the methods based on 2D and 3D transforms.

In this study,the coding region of type O FMDV capsid protein VP1 and a series of codon optimized DNA sequences coding for VP1 amino acid residues 141-160(epitopel),tandem repeat 200-213(epitope2(+2))and the combination of two epitopes(epitope1-2)was genetically cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pPROExHTb and pGEX4T-1,respectively.VP1 and the fused epitopes GST-E1,GST-E2(+2)and GST-E1-2 were successfully solubly expressed in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and Western blot analysis demonstrated they retained antigenicity.Indirect VP1-ELISA and epitope ELISAs were subsequently developed to screen a panel of 80 field pig sera using LPB-ELISA as a standard test.For VP1-ELISA and all the epitope ELISAs,there were clear distinctions between the FMDV-positive and the FMDV-negative samples.Cross-reactions with pig sera positive to the viruses of swine vesicular disease virus that produce clinically indistinguishable syndromes in pigs or guinea pig antisera to FMDV strains of type A,C and Asial did not occur.The relative sensitivity and specificity for the GST-E1 ELISA,GST-E2(+2),GST-E1-2 ELISA and VP1-ELISA in comparison with LPB-ELISA were 93.3% and 85.0%,95.0% and 90%,100% and 81.8%,96.6% and 80.9% respectively.This study shows the potential use of the aforementioned epitopes as alternatives to the complex antigens used in current detection for antibody to FMDV structural proteins.

In order to develop an anti-FMDV Asial type monoclonal antibody (mAb), BABL/c mice were immunized with recombinant FMDV VP1 protein. Three mAbs, 1B8, 5E1 and 5E2, were then further optimized. The result indicated that prepared anti-FMDV Asial mAbs had no cross-reactivity with Swine vesicular disease (SVD) and FMDV O, A and C type antigen. Their titers in abdomen liquor were l:5×106, l:2×106 and l:5×l06, respectively. 1B8 was found to be of IgGi subtype, 5E1 and 5E2 belonged to IgG2b subtype. In this study, the prepared mAbs are specific for detecting FMDV type Asial, and is potentially useful for pen-side diagnosis.

Objective To compare the efficacies of total gastrectomy (TG) and proximal gastrectomy (PG) for patients with upper gastric cancer.Methods Databases including Medline,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang database were searched to retrieve literatures on surgical treatment of upper gastric cancer which were published from January 1980 to October 2011.According to different surgical procedures,all the patients were divided into PG group and TG group.Meta analysis were performed by RevMan 5.1.Categorical variables were presented by odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence interval (95％CI).Results Thirteen literatures including 2622 patients with upper gastric cancer were retrieved.There were 1464 patients in the TG group and 1158 patients in the PG group.There was no significant difference in the 1-year survival rate between the 2 groups (OR =1.23,P ＞ 0.05).The 3-and 5-year survival rates of patients in the TG group were significantly higher than those of the PG group (OR =1.74,1.45,P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference in the 5-year survival rates of patients in TNM Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅳ stages between the 2 groups (OR =0.94,1.31,2.03,P ＞ 0.05),while the 5-year survival rate of patients in TNM Ⅲ stage of TG group was significantly higher than PG group (OR =2.29,P ＜ 0.05) The overall recurrence rate of TG group was slightly lower than that of PG group,with no significant difference OR =0.44,P ＞ 0.05).The local recurrence rate of TG group was significantly lower than that of PG group (OR =0.29,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the distal recurrence rate between the 2 groups (OR =0.60,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The medium and longterm efficacies of TG are superior than that of PG.The stage of cancer should be taken into account to determine the plan of individual treatment.

This study was aimed to discuss the antibacterial and immunomodulation effect ofRe-Du-Ning (RDN) injection. Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group,Shuang-Huang-Lian (SHL) group (7.8 mL·kg-1), RDN high dose group (20.30 g·kg-1), middle dose group (10.15 g·kg-1), and low dose group (5.08 g·kg-1), in order to observe the death protective effect of mice with bacterial infection on antibacterial experimentin vivo. Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group,Xiang-Gu Duo-Tang (XGDT) group (0.19 mg·kg-1), RDN high dose group (20.30 g·kg-1), middle dose group (10.15 g·kg-1), and low dose group (5.08 g·kg-1). The 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene was used to induce delayed hypersensitivity. Immunomodulation was observed by the content of serum hemolysin and the carbon particle clearance index. The results showed that the RDN high dose group and middle dose group had antibacterial effect, which reduced the mortality of mice. The RDN high dose, middle dose and low dose group can enhance the phagocytosis of macrophage in immunosuppressive mice, increase the formation of hemolysin, and strengthen delayed hypersensitivity reaction among immunocompromised mice. It was concluded that RDN injection had antibacterial effect. Its immunomodulation effect was through the enhancing of non-specific immunity, humoral immunity and cellular immunity of mice.
