Conclusion Rottlerin can inhibit murine experimental asthma.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, therapeutic effects and normal tissue complications of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for loco-regionally recurrent esophageal cancer after initial radiotherapy. Methods Between March 2001 and May 2007, 42 patients with loco-reigonal recurrent esophageal cancer after initial radiotherapy were treated with 3DCRT, including 27 male and 15 female with a median age of 67.5 years. Radiotherapy was delivered at 1.8 -2.0 Gy per fraction, 5 fractions per week, with a median total dose of 54 Gy. Treatment outcomes and normal tissue complications were assessed with WHO and RTOG/EORTC criteria. Results By December 31,2008, the follow-up rate was 100%. Twenty patients had follow-up time of 1 year and the remaining 22 had 2 years. The clinical symptom relief rate was 60%, and the response rate was 90.5% with a complete remission rate of 17% and partial remission rate of 74%. The overall 1- and 2-year survival (OS) rates were 60% and 24%. Grade 2 and grade 3 acute radiation esophagitis developed in 31% and 5% of the patients, respectively. Grade 2 and grade 3 acute radiation pneumonitis developed in 19% and 2% , respectively. Grade 2 and grade 3 acute radiation hematology toxicities developed in 5% and 2%, respectively. Conclusions For patients with loco-regional recurrences of esophageal cancer after initial radiotherapy, 3DCRT is feasible, with a good clinical symptom relief rate and immediate tumor response. However,the complication rate was high and the clinical indications should be strictly controlled.

Background and purpose:Aberrant DNA methylation that leads to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes plays important roles in development and progression of breast cancer. Clinically, related gene methylation is considered to be a promising biomarker for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the methylation status ofSox17 gene in breast cancer tissue and its corresponding plasma circulating DNA, as well as to investigate its value in breast cancer early diagnosis and prognosis.Methods:TheSox17 gene promoter methylation status was detected by MSP in 86 cases of breast cancer, 36 normal breast tissues and its paired plasma DNA, the results were analyzed with corresponding clinical and pathological features.Results:The frequency ofSox17 gene methylation rate among 86 breast cancer tissues was 77.9%(67/86), and was 61.6%(53/86)in plasma circulating DNA, however, noSox17 gene methylation was found in normal breast tissues.Sox17 gene promoter methylation in plasma circulating DNA was signiifcantly associated with the methylation status in tumor tissues (r=0.502,P=0.000). In breast cancer tissue specimens,Sox17 methylation status was significantly correlated with tumor stage (χ2=6.18,P=0.041) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=13.54,P=0.001);Sox17 gene methylation rate was signiifcantly correlated with tumor stage (χ2=27.06,P=0.000), tumor size (χ2=9.65,P=0.007) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=20.80,P=0.000) in plasma samples, and there was no signiifcant difference ofSox17 gene methylation between patient age, histological grade and ER, PR, HER-2/neu status.Conclusion:Sox17 gene promoter methylation plays an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer, and may be associated with the prognosis of breast cancer. Furthermore, methylatedSox17 gene may be a useful tumor biomarker in plasma circulating DNA for breast cancer detection and disease monitoring.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HIT and cisplatin (DDP) resistance in osteosarcoma cells and the mechanism related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Methods: 42 pairs of osteosarcoma tissues and corresponding para-cancerous tissues (more than 5 cm away from the edge of cancer tissues) were collected at the Department of Orthopedics, Tianjin Hospital during June 2017 to June 2018. Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNAexpression of HIT and EMT related markers (Snail and E-cadherin) in the collected tissues. The DDP-resistant osteosarcoma U2OS cell line was constructed and human adrenal 293T cell line was used as control. Two sets of siRNA vectors targeting HIT loaded on lentivirus were transfected into cells with DDP-resistance as the interference group A and group B. Meanwhile, the U2OS cell line was transfected with HIT full-length vector and blank vector respectively, as over-expression group and blank group. The DDP 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was detected by MTT assay. qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of HIT, Snail and E-cadherin. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of Snail and E-cadherin. RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RNAIP) assay was used to clarify the combination of HIT and Snail protein in the U2OS and 293T cells. Results: The mRNAexpressions of HIT and Snail in osteosarcoma tissues were significantly higher than those in para-cancerous tissues, while the mRNA expression of Ecadherin was significantly lower than that in the paracancerous tissues. The mRNA expression of HIT and E-cadherin in osteosarcoma tissues was negatively correlated (all P<0.01). The DDP IC50 in the DDP-resistance group was significantly higher than that in the control group, interference group A and B, and the DDP IC50 in over-expression group was significantly higher than that in blank group (all P<0.01). The expression of HIT in resistance group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the HIT expressions in interference group A and B were significantly lower than that in DDP-resistance and control group; moreover, the expression of HIT in over-expression group was significantly higher than that in blank group (all P<0.05 or P<0.01). The mRNAexpression of Snail in DDPresistance group was significantly higher than that in the control group and interference group A and B, while the mRNA expression of E-cadherin in DDP-resistance group was significantly lower than that in the control group and interference group A and B; and the mRNA expression of E-cadherin in over-expression group was significantly lower than that in blank group. The protein expression of Snail in the DDP-resistance group was significantly higher than that in the control group and interference group A and B,while E-cadherin protein expression was significantly lower; and protein expression of Snail in over-expression group was significantly higher than that in blank group (all P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of HIT in the U20S and 293T cells treated by anti-Snail antibody induced by immunomagnetic beads was significantly higher than that in the cells treated by IgG antibody (P<0.01). Conclusion: HIT can promote EMT and cisplatin-resistance in osteosarcoma cells through up-regulation of Snail protein and inhibition of E-cadherin transcription activity.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of four mismatch repair proteins and clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer in elderly patients. Methods The expression of four mismatch repair proteins,MLH1,PMS2,MSH2 and MSH6,in 85 specimens from elderly patients with colorectal cancer,who were treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2016, was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.The correlation between the expression of these mismatch repair proteins and clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer was also analyzed. Results Of the 85 clinical specimens,76 showed positive expression of the mismatch repair proteins,yielding a positivity rate of 89.4% and a negative rate of 10.6%(9 cases).The negative expression rates of MLHl,PMS2,MSH2 and MSH6 were 7.1%(6 cases),7.1%(6 cases),3.5%(3 cases)and 1.4%(2 cases),respectively.In addition,4 cases(4.7%)had negative expression of MLHl and PMS2,1 case(1.2%)had negative expression of MSH2 and MSH6,and 1 case(1.2%)had negative expression of all four-proteins.Furthermore,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that negative expression rates of the mismatch repair proteins were closely associated with tumor size,tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer(all P < 0.05). Conclusions Concurrent negative expression of MLHl and PMS2 and of MSH2 and MSH6 can be seen in colorectal cancer.Negative expression of mismatch repair proteins is closely related to clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer in elderly patients.

Objective: This study was to investigate the necessity of wearing a cervical collar after single-segment anterior cervical discectomy and decompression. Methods: The experimental methods were used to group the two wards in the same department. There were 54 patients in the experimental group and 48 patients in the control group. The patients in the experimental group did not wear the cervical collar during the postoperative outpatient activities and after discharge. The control group patients wore the cervical collar within 3 months after walking and after discharge. The cervical dysfunction index of the two groups before surgery and 3 months after surgery was compared between the two groups; also vertebral fusion at 6 months postoperatively; and SF-36 (Quality of Life Assessment Scale) scores before surgery and 3 months after surgery. Results: The NDI of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the preoperative NDI (20.62%±1.94% vs 26.06%±2.17%) (t=18.32, P<0.01). The NDI of the control group was 3 months after operation compared with the preoperative NDI (21.30±%1.87% vs26.26%±2.74%) also had a significant decrease (t=16.67, P<0.01). The NDI of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the preoperative NDI (14.97%±1.85%vs26.06%±2.17%) (t=31.93, P<0.01), the NDI of the control group was significantly lower than that of the preoperative NDI (15.98%±1.49% vs26.26%±2.74%) at 6 months after operation (t=24.45, P<0.01). The difference was statistically significant. The SF-36 score in the last 3 months was higher than that in the control group (53.37±9.23 vs 45.77±8.07), and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.40, P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with the external fixation without neck and neck, the treatment of cervical external fixation does not affect the postoperative treatment effect, and can improve the quality of life of patients.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression levels of annexin A1 (ANXA1), GATA-3, and T-bet in T lymphocytes of peripheral blood in burned mice with sepsis at early stage, and to analyze their immune regulatory mechanisms.

METHODSSeven-hundred and eighty male mice of clean grade were divided into sham injury group (n=60, sham injured on the back by immersing in 37 ℃ warm water for 10 s), burn group (n=240, inflicted with 20% TBSA deep partial- thickness burn on the back by immersing in 100 ℃ hot water for 10 s), sepsis group (n=240, intraperitoneally injected with 6 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide), and burn+ sepsis group (n=240) according to the random number table. Mice of burn+ sepsis group were treated as that in burn group at first, and then they were treated as that in sepsis group. (1) Immediately after injury, six mice in sham injury group were selected to collect lymphocyte suspension of peripheral blood (1 tube each mouse) according to the random number table. According to the random number table, 6 mice of each of the other three groups were respectively selected at post injury hour (PIH) 12, 24, 48, and 72 for the collection of lymphocyte suspension from peripheral blood (1 tube each mouse). Each tube of cell suspension was equally divided into two parts. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled human anti-mouse CD4 monoclonal antibody and phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled human anti-mouse interferon-γ monoclonal antibody were added to one part of cell suspension to mark helper T lymphocyte 1 (Th1). FITC-labeled human anti-mouse CD4 monoclonal antibody and PE-labeled human anti-mouse interleukin-4 (IL-4) monoclonal antibody were added to the other part of cell suspension to mark Th2. The percentages of Th1 and Th2 were determined with flow cytometer, and the ratio of Th1 to Th2 was calculated. (2) According to the random number table, 18 mice in sham injury group were selected immediately after injury for the collection of lymphocyte suspension of peripheral blood (1 tube each mouse), and 18 mice of each of the other 3 groups were respectively selected at PIH 12, 24, 48, and 72 to collect the lymphocyte suspension of peripheral blood (1 tube each mouse). The mRNA expression levels of ANXA1, GATA-3, and T-bet were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. (3) Immediately after injury, 36 mice in sham injury group were selected to collect lymphocyte suspension of peripheral blood (1 tube each mouse) according to the random number table, and then 36 tubes of cell suspension were divided into 6 batches (6 tubes each batch). Each one of 6 kinds of antibody combinations: antibodies for labeling Th1 and Th2 in combination with PE-anthocyanin 7 labeled human anti-mouse ANXA1 monoclonal antibody, PE-anthocyanin 7 labeled human anti-mouse GATA-3 monoclonal antibody, and PE-anthocyanin 7 labeled human anti-mouse T-bet monoclonal antibody was added to 1 tube of cell suspension at each batch. According to the random number table, 36 mice of each of the other 3 groups were respectively selected at PIH 12, 24, 48, and 72 for the collection of lymphocyte suspension of peripheral blood (1 tube each mouse), and then 36 tubes of cell suspension at each time point were divided into 6 batches for marking with 3 kinds of surface markers of Th1 and Th2 (6 tubes each batch). Each one of above-mentioned 6 kinds of antibodies was added to 1 tube of cell suspension at each time point for each batch. The percentages of ANXA1, GATA-3, and T-bet positive cells in Th1 and Th2 were determined with flow cytometer. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance, analysis of variance of factorial design, and SNK test. The relationship between the percentages of ANXA1 positive cell and the percentages of GATA-3 positive cell in Th1 and Th2, and mRNA expression level of ANXA1 and mRNA expression level of GATA-3 in lymphocytes were assessed by linear correlation analysis.

(2) Compared with those in sham injury group immediately after injury, the mRNA expression levels of ANXA1 and GATA-3 in lymphocyte of mice in burn group were significantly decreased from PIH 24 on, with P values below 0.05; the mRNA expression level of T-bet was significantly decreased at PIH 24 but significantly increased at PIH 48 and 72, with P values below 0.05. Compared with those in sham injury group immediately after injury, the mRNA expression levels of ANXA1 and GATA-3 in lymphocytes of mice in sepsis group were significantly decreased from PIH 12 on, and the mRNA expression level of T-bet was increased significantly from PIH 12 on, with P values below 0.05; the mRNA expression levels of ANXA1, GATA-3, and T-bet in lymphocytes of mice in burn+ sepsis group were significantly decreased from PIH 12 on, with P values below 0.05, reaching the nadir at PIH 72 (0.50±0.04, 0.45±0.03, 0.21±0.05, respectively). (3) A significant positive correlation was observed between ANXA1 mRNA expression level and GATA-3 mRNA expression level in lymphocytes of peripheral blood (r=0.862, P<0.05). (4) Compared with those in sham injury group immediately after injury, the percentages of ANXA1 and GATA-3 positive cellsin Th1 and Th2 of mice in burn group were significantly lowered from PIH 24 on, and the percentage of T-bet positive cells was significantly decreased at PIH 24, but it was increased from PIH 48 on, with P values below 0.05. The percentages of ANXA1 and GATA-3 positive cells in Th1 and Th2 of mice in sepsis group were continuously decreased from PIH 12 on, which were lower at most time points than those in sham injury group immediately after injury, with P values below 0.05. The percentages of T-bet positive cells in Th1 and Th2 of mice in sepsis group were significantly increased since PIH 12 as compared with those in sham injury group immediately after injury, with P values below 0.05. The percentages of ANXA1, GATA-3, and T-bet positive cells in Th1 and Th2 of mice in burn+ sepsis group were continuously lowered from PIH 12, with significantly statistical differences at most time points as compared with those in sham injury group immediately after injury, with P values below 0.05. (5) The percentages of GATA-3 positive cells in Th1 and Th2 were significantly positively correlated with those of ANXA1 (with r values respectively 0.747 and 0.787, P values below 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe expression levels of ANXA1, GATA-3, and T-bet were continuously lowered in burned mice with sepsis, and it may play an important role in Th1/Th2 balance switching to Th2 bias and immunosuppressive process.
