Objective To study the expression of gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRH receptor) in the stomach of Sprague-Dawley rat exposed to light stress. Methods We established illumination stressed models that the rats were exposed to continuous light(totally 64 rats, 32 rats for experiment and control group, respectively). Then,stomachs were taken from the rats when the rats exposed to continuous light for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks and their control groups, respectively.The localization and the expression of GnRHR and GnRHR mRNA in stomachs mucous membrane were detected using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and real-time PCR. Results Immunoreactivity was displayed mostly in the parietal cells in gastric gland. There were not differences of this distribution in all groups of constant illumination and their control. The immunoreactive materials were distributed on membrane and in cytoplasm of all positive cells, but not in nuclei. The level of GnRHR in rats exposed to continuous illumination were higher from one week to four weeks compared with that in control(P<0.05), and the level of GnRHR reached the peak when rats were exposed to constant illumination for two weeks (P<0.01). The quantity of GnRH mRNA in rats exposed to continuous illumination were higher from three weeks to four weeks compared with that in control(P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of GnRHR in digestive tract was effected by illumination stress.GnRH might regulate digestive function by interaction with GnRHR, suggesting that GnRH may be acted as a hormone, not only responded to normal physiological function of digestive tract but also responded to stress activity.

Clinical data of 23 elderly patients with rectal cancer undergoing trans-sphincteric local resection(TSLR, Mason's operation)were retrospectively analyzed. All the 23 patients were followed-up for three to seven years after operation, 18 with normal or good fecal continence(78%), five just in fair condition(22%)and none in fecal incontinence. Three-year survival was 83 percent(19/23)and 5-year survival was 78 percent(18/23)for them. It is suggested that TSLR is a safe, feasible and effective treatment for middle and low rectal cancer in the elderly with a long term survival and satisfactory quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between sternum protection and bone marrow suppression in postoperative radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma. Methods Total of 98 postoperative patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into experimental group (52 cases) and control group (46 cases). All patients were given intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), with the dose of 50-50.4 Gy. The patients in experimental group were irradiated by 6 fields (4-fields in front, 2-fields behind) which were crossed to avoid direct exposure to the sternum. The patients in control group were irradiated by 5 fields (3-fields in front, 2-fields behind) with front-middle of the field passing through the sternum. Concurrently all patients received 2 cycles of cisplatin chemotherapy. Results Dmean, V20 and V30 of the sternum in the experimental group were (20.21 ±3.60) Gy, (40.78 ±7.19) % and (33.78 ±9.44) %, which were lower than those in the control group [(30.91±5.21) Gy, (81.01±4.81) %, (51.60±6.84) %], respectively (P<0.05). However, the volume and dose distribution of lung, spinal cord and heart were similar between the two groups (P> 0.05). Both the incidence rates of bone marrow suppression at 14th day and 35th day after radiotherapy were significantly higher in the control group (52.2%, 73.9%) than those in the experimental group (28.8 %, 50.0 %) (P< 0.05), and the incidence rate of bone marrow suppression at 7th day after radiotherapy was similar between the two groups. Conclusion Protecting and sketching for sternum in postoperative radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma can reduce the incidence of bone marrow suppression effectively, which would not increase the radiation dose in the lung, heart and spinal cord.
