Objective To observe the clinical effects by endoscopic implantation of accurate and slow-release particles for advanced esophageal carcinoma. Methods Under endoscopy, we dividing the whole focus into several layers by each 1.0 cm and implanting one slow-release particles (about 10 mg) in each point whose interval is 1.0 cm. One course of treatment includes three-time implantation and each treatment needs four weeks, by the way the details depend on the state of illness. In this research, all of patients complete the treatment smoothly. By comparing the patients’ situation before treatment, three-month treatment and six-month treatment, which include the remission of clinical symptom, the changing of focus area, the improvement of swallow function, untoward effect and life quality, et al. Results The results show several test indexes changed a lot. When treated for 3 months and 6 months, the levels of focus area and swallow difficulty classification were decreased significantly (P < 0.05) as compared with those before treatment; but the patients’ life quality didn’t have significant statistical difference (P > 0.05), by the way there isn’t individual difference appearing because of a little short of testing time and a few of samples. In addition, the WBC had a significant statistical difference between before treatment and three-month treatment (P < 0.05), and the ratio of complication didn’t have a significant change. Conclusions Endoscopic implantation of 5-Fu slow-release particles for the treatment of advanced esophageal carcinoma is a safety, high efficacy, low toxic and good tolerant palliative treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of metformin on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Methods Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and purified from the rat bone marrow by adherent method, the cells from passage 3-4 were used in our experiments. At 90% confluence, the medium was removed and the cells were cultured in osteogenic medium with or without 10 μmol/L metformin, medium was changed every two or three days. At days 7, 14, and 21, the cells were collected, osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring Runt-related transcription factor 2, alkaline phosphatase, collagen type Ⅰ and osteocalcin using real-time PCR; ALP activity was also evaluated by p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate and normalized to total protein content; At day 21, mineralization nodules in the extracellular matrix of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were stained using Alizarin red staining. Differentiation of adipocytes were induced in adipogenic medium for 14 days with or without 10 μmol/L metformin, then the cells were collected for detecting the transcription activity of PPARγ and CAAT/enhanced-binding protein α, lipid droplets in adipocytes were measured by oil red O staining. Results In the metformin group, alkaline phosphatase activity was higher, osteoblast markers were up-regulated(all P<0.05), and the calcium nodules were more, while the adipocyte markers are down-regulated by about 70%, and lipid droplets were less than the group without metformin. Conclusion Metformin can effectively promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts, while inhibit the differentiation to adipocytes.
