[摘 要] 目的:探究核受体辅阻遏物2(NCOR2)基因对食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)发生发展的影响及其潜在的分子调控机制。方法: 收集2017年5月至2018年7月间在山西省肿瘤医院确诊的155例ESCC患者的癌及癌旁组织标本及临床资料,利用患者的转录组和临床病理数据进行生存预后分析及临床关联性分析。采用qPCR法检测6种ESCC细胞(TE-1、TE-5、TE-9、KYSE150、KYSE180和KYSE450)中NCOR2基因的表达水平,筛选NCOR2基因高表达的KYSE450细胞进行siRNA敲低实验,构建敲降NCOR2的细胞模型。利用CCK-8、克隆形成、细胞划痕和Transwell实验检测敲低NCOR2对 KYSE450细胞增殖活性、克隆形成、迁移和侵袭能力的影响。对NCOR2敲低的KYSE450细胞进行转录组测序分析,筛选差异表达基因,进行GO和KEGG富集分析,解析NCOR2可能影响的信号调控网络。结果:NCOR2在ESCC组织中表达水平显著高于癌旁组织(P<0.01),NCOR2高表达ESCC患者的预后较差(P<0.05)。敲低NCOR2基因表达后,KYSE450细胞划痕愈合率、迁移和侵袭能力均显著降低(均P<0.01),对细胞的增殖活力及克隆形成能力均无显著影响(均P>0.05)。在KYSE450细胞中敲低NCOR2基因后,转录组测序分析后发现54个基因发生了显著上调、127个基因发生了显著下调。KEGG分析发现,显著差异基因富集于PI3K/AKT分子信号通路(P<0.01),该通路中的4个基因PIK3R3、IL4R、COL1A1、EFNA1的表达水平在155例ESCC患者临床样本的转录组数据中与NCOR2呈显著正相关(均P<0.01),与转录组测序结果相吻合。结论:NCOR2可以通过影响PI3K/AKT信号通路并促进KYSE450细胞迁移与侵袭,进而影响ESCC的发生与发展。

Objective: To investigate the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) on CD8+ T cells differentiation, phenotype and the secretion of intracellular cytokines, as well as to study the underlying molecular mechanism. Methods: In the in vitro culture experiment, the cells were categorized into control group, SNF 10 mmol/L group and SNF 20 mmol/L group according to the SNF concentration. The effect of SFN treatment on CD8+ T cells differentiation, phenotype and cytokine secretion were detected by flow cytometry, and the effect of mTOR siRNA on the expression of CD127 and LKRG1 in CD8+T cells was also detected by flow cytometry. Expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-6 were analyzed by qRT-PCR. The effect of SFN on apoptosis of CD8+T cells was examined byAnnexin-V/PI staining. The protein expressions of p-mTOR, p-S6 and b-actin were detected by western blotting. Results: SFN significantly promoted the formation of memory precursor CD8+ T cells and decreased the expression level of PD-1 and Tim-3 in CD8+T cells(P<0.01); meanwhile, after the treatment of SFN, the expressions of anti-apoptosis genes Bcl-2 and Bcl-6 were significantly increased while the apoptosis of CD8+ T cells was significantly inhibited and the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p-S6 were also significantly inhibited(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Moreover, mTOR siRNA could significantly increasethe expression of CD127 and decrease the expression of LKRG1 (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Sulforaphone promotes the formation of memory precursor CD8+T cells possibly by inhibiting the p-mTOR signaling pathway, and this could obtain more T cells to provide new thoughts for clinical immunotherapy.

<b>Objective:b> To describe the situation of insufficient sleep and the association between insufficient sleep and physical exercise, among Chinese Han students aged 9-18 years. <b>Methods:b> We selected 172 197 Chinese Han students aged 9-18 years from the project 2014 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health. The average sleep duration per day of less than 9 h for children aged 9-12 years and of less than 8 h for adolescents aged 13-18 years, were defined as insufficient sleep. We described the distribution of sleep duration and the prevalence rates of insufficient sleep for each subgroup. Logistic regression models were established to assess the association between insufficient sleep and physical exercise. <b>Results:b> In 2014, 6.6%, 30.8%, 26.3%, 20.8%, 13.8% and 1.8% of the Chinese Han students self-reported sleep duration were <6, 6-, 7-, 8- and ≥10 h, respectively. The overall prevalence rate of insufficient sleep was 77.2%, with 75.8% for boys and 78.6% for girls. No gender disparity was found at each 9-11 age groups. However, in the 12-18 age groups, the prevalence rates for girls were significantly higher than that for boys. The prevalence rates of insufficient sleep for primary school, middle school and high school students were66.6%, 74.1% and 93.8%, respectively. Rates were increasing with age for children aged 9-12 years and adolescents aged 13-18 years respectively. The three provinces with the lowest prevalence rates of insufficient sleep were Zhejiang (68.8%), Jiangsu (66.7%) and Shaanxi (65.2%). Data from the logistic regression models revealed that, when comparing to those students with only exercise of <0.5 h per day, the exercise hours of 0.5-1 h (OR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.69-0.74) or ≥1 h (OR=0.46, 95%CI: 0.44-0.47) per day seemed as protective factors for insufficient sleep. When compared with physical exercise frequency <2 times per week, the 2 times (OR=0.82, 95%CI: 0.78-0.86) or >2 times (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.62-0.68) frequencies also appeared as protective. <b>Conclusions:b> The prevalence rate of insufficient sleep prevailing among students aged 9-18 years was high, in China. Our data called for setting up effective measures to deal with this situation.

间变性淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK)是一种受体型酪氨酸激酶,被认为是肿瘤的驱动基因,它的变异会 改变自身激酶活性,进而激活下游信号分子,使细胞增殖调控出现紊乱,从而导致肿瘤的发生。ALK的体细胞变异主要有融合和 突变两类,ALK融合在肺癌中已有较多研究,并已研发出相关小分子靶向药物, 而ALK突变则在神经胶质瘤中研究相对较多。本 文将阐述ALK融合及突变的研究现状及其与肿瘤发生发展的关系,为个性化医疗及靶向药物的研发提供一定的理论线索。

如果我们的目标是对人类功能有一个综合的认识以及广泛的开发项目来完善个体和群体功能,我们需要开发适当的测量方法。2001年,第54届世界卫生大会批准的国际功能、残疾和健康分类(ICF),是第一个普遍共享的模式和功能、残疾和健康标志的分类,因此是开发测量工具和最终我们理解功能、残疾和健康的一个重要步骤。由于发展ICF在全世界达成广泛共识过程和提供关于ICF效度的越来越多的证据, ICF作为参考架构和分类已经被接纳和使用。然而,广泛的接纳和使用ICF作为参考架构和分类又依赖于与有关功能的分类和测量相关的理论与方法难题的解决。因此,本文首先描述了ICF类目怎样作为功能测量的基石,然后描述了基于ICF的实用工具和国际标准例如ICF核心分类(ICF Core Sets)的发展现状。最后,本文举例说明了怎样将大量的测量工具与ICF相匹配,反之亦然,有关将通过临床测验或以患者导向的测量工具获得的信息转换到ICF的方法学原则,以及基于ICF的临床和自我报告测量工具的开发。

The study summarizes the clinical experience of surgical treatments of various types of thoracic aneurysm and aortic dissection. Clinical data of 122 patients with thoracic aneurysm and aortic dissection during July 2005 to July 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. The elective operations were performed in 107 patients while emergency surgery was done in 15 cases. Different surgical strategies were employed on the basis of diseased region, including simple ascending aortic replacement (n=3), aortic root replacement (n=43), hemi-arch replacement /total arch replacement+elephant trunk technique (n=32), thoracic/thoracoabdominal aortic replacement (n=8) and endovascular repair (n=36). In this series, there is 4 cases of perioperative death due to massive cerebral hemorrhage (n=1), respiratory failure (n=1) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (n=2). Three cases developed post-operative massive cerebral infarction and the relatives of the patients abandoned treatment. Instant success rate of endovascular repair was 100%. The intimal rupture was sealed. Blood flow was unobstructed in true lumen and no false lumen was visualized. It was concluded that aggressive surgery should be considered in the patients with thoracic aneurysm and aortic dissection. Surgical procedures should vary with the location and the nature of the lesions.

PURPOSE: To characterize the electromyographic activity of abdominal striated muscles during micturition in urethane-anesthetized female mice, and to quantitatively evaluate the contribution of abdominal responses to efficient voiding. METHODS: Cystometric and multichannel electromyographic recordings were integrated to enable a comprehensive evaluation during micturition in urethane-anesthetized female mice. Four major abdominal muscle domains were evaluated: the external oblique, internal oblique, and superior and inferior rectus abdominis. To further characterize the functionality of the abdominal muscles, pancuronium bromide (25 μg/mL or 50 μg/mL, abdominal surface) was applied as a blocking agent of neuromuscular junctions. RESULTS: We observed a robust activation of the abdominal muscles during voiding, with a consistent onset/offset concomitant with the bladder pressure threshold. Pancuronium was effective, in a dose-dependent fashion, for partial and complete blockage of abdominal activity. Electromyographic discharges during voiding were significantly inhibited by applying pancuronium. Decreased cystometric parameters were recorded, including the peak pressure, pressure threshold, intercontractile interval, and voiding duration, suggesting that the voiding efficiency was significantly compromised by abdominal muscle relaxation. CONCLUSIONS: The relevance of the abdominal striated musculature for micturition has remained a topic of debate in human physiology. Although the study was performed on anesthetized mice, these results support the existence of synergistic abdominal electromyographic activity facilitating voiding in anesthetized mice. Further, our study presents a rodent model that can be used for future investigations into micturition-related abdominal activity.
