OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Shuangling Fuzheng anti-tumor preparation (SLAP) five groups on proliferation and c-myc gene expression of SGC-7901 cells in vitro.

METHODThe inhibitory effect of single SLAP (40 -640 microg x mL(-1)) and combined therapy with adriamycin (0.4, 4.0 microg x mL(-1) or cisplatin (0.1,1.0 microg x mL(-1) on human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells proliferation were observed by MTT colorimetric analysis method. Technique of flow cytometry in vitro was used to measure the rate of positive sign of SLAP (80 - 320 microg x mL(-1)) on c-myc gene protein of SGC-7901 cells.

RESULTSGC-7901 cells proliferation were inhibited by single SLAP in dose of 40 - 640 microg x mL(-1) 24 h. Its inhibitory rate was increased with increase of dose. The inhibitory rate on SGC-7901 cells could be increased by SLAP in dose of 40 - 640 microg x mL(-1) plus adriamycin in dose of 0.4 and 4.0 microg x mL(-1) or plus cisplatin in dose of 0.1 and 1.0 microg x mL(-1). At the same time, SLAP (80 - 320 microg x mL(-1)) also could inhibite the expression of c-myc gene of SGC -7901 cells.

CONCLUSIONSingle SLAP had inhibiting effect on human gastric carcinoma cells proliferation with a dose-effect relationship and synergic effect while combined with adriamycin or cisplatin. To inhibit the expression of c-myc gene of human gastric carcinoma cells might be one of action mechanisms of SLAP, which inhibited tumor cells proliferation.

Objective Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of sudden sensorineural hearing loss with acoustic neuroma.Methods The clinical data of 467 cases with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were collected between Jan,2008 and Aug,2012.Discussed the clinical data which were diagnosed as acoustic neuroma.Results In 467 cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss,nine cases were diagnosed as acoustic neuromas(9 ears,1.93％),two males and seven females,with a age range of 28 to 57 years.Among them,seven cases accompanied with tinnitus,seven cases with vertigo.The hearing results in nine cases,two cases were found to be mild,two were moderate,four were severe,and one was profound hearling loss respectively.Hearing was classified into five types according to audiogram shape (1 of up-sloping,1 of down-sloping,2 of mid-frequency,1 of profound loss,4 of flat audiogram).Eight cases had abnormal ABR,nine cases with ear ipsilateral stapedius reflex were completely not elicited,seven cases with health ear contralateral stapedius reflex were completely not elicited.Tumors were graded by Koos Grades according to size (7 of grade Ⅰ,1 of grade Ⅱ,1 of grade Ⅳ).Seven small acoustic neuroma was taken waiting strategies.Meanwhile,we use glucocorticoid and improve the microcirculation of the inner ear medication short-termly for these patients.Four patientshearing were improved.Conclusious The initial symptoms of some acoustic neuroma are sudden hearing loss,especially the small tumors in internal auditory canal.In order to prevent misdiagnosis,MRI and ABR should be performed as a routine test for sudden sensorineural hearing loss.It is necessary to give appropriate treatment to protecting hearing for the small acoustic neuroma patients whose first symptoms are diagnosed as sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the incidence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in the right para-tracheal triangle (RPT) of esophageal carcinoma patients and the technique of dissection.

METHODSOn the top of double mediastinal and abdominal lymphadenectomy, 333 esophageal carcinoma patients received RPT lymphadenectomy through the right pleural apical approach from 1990 to 2001.

RESULTSIn these 333 patients, the lymph node metastasis (LNM) rate in the RPT was 36.40%. A total of 457 nodes among 2 159 nodes removed gave a metastasis degree of 24.96%. The LNM rates in RPT for cervical, upper third, middle third, and lower third segments of esophagus were 66.67%, 45.45%, 34.19% and 15.79% (P < 0.05), while their respective metastasis degrees were 44.44%, 27.04%, 24.32% and 18.92% (P > 0.05). The frequency of positive nodes in the RPT for PTI, PT1, PT2, PT3 and PT4 was 0, 17.24%, 28.7%, 45.16% and 53.57%, while those of metastasis degree were 0, 8.77%, 17.62%, 33% and 41.17% (P < 0.01). The frequency of LNM in the RPT in papillary, erosive, patch-like and covert type of early tumor was 40%, 3.85%, 0 and 0 (P < 0.05), while those of the metastasis degree were 29.41%, 1.82%, 0 and 0 (P < 0.01). Higher rate of LNM in progressive stenotic esophageal carcinoma was observed compared with those of the other gross types (56.52%, P < 0.05), so was the degree (P < 0.01). The frequency of LNM in the RPT for mono-focal and multi-focal tumor was 34.98% and 70% without significant difference (P > 0.05), while the degree was 24.29% and 53.33% (P < 0.05). Postoperative complications were: leak (0.6%), and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (1.2%). No injury of vein or infra-clavicular artery, tracheal damage or mortality occurred.

CONCLUSION1. The lymph node metastasis from esophageal carcinoma has a tendency of wide spread and right para-tracheal triangle is an important region to be doomed. 2. With location, depth of tumor invasion and differentiation of tumor as major factors affecting LNM of esophageal carcinoma, dissection of this region should be paid more emphasis. 3. In early lesions, higher frequency of LNM in the RPT is found in papillary and erosive lesions than in the other macroscopic types. 4. Exposing the RPT, lymph node by dissection through a right pleural apical approach is very important and significant.

AIMTo investigate protective effects of ginkgolide B (GB) in different administration modes on glutamate-induced neuronal damage.

METHODSEssential GB were obtained by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction. Glutamate excitotoxicity were examined in primary cultures from neonatal Wistar rat, by using of Trypan blue dye staining, testing the lactate dehydrogenase leakage from cultured neurons and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. The protective effects of GB in different administration modes (pre-treatment and post-treatment) were adopted and compared with the NMDA receptor uncompetitive antagonist-MK-801 in acute-treatment.

RESULTSTreatment with GB in two administration modes both could increase ratio of surviving neuron, decrease LDH efflux and reduce ratio of neuron apoptosis in different degree, depended on dose in certain range. The protective effect of pre-treatment was superior to post-treatment, but inferior to MK-801.

CONCLUSIONGB can protect neurons against glutamate damage, and preventive using has more efficiency. The potential mechanism of its neural protection may be not only related to PAF receptor. If the predominant protection effect of GB in pretreatment is considered, precautionary intervention to high-risk population could have more value.
