Objective To investigate the expressions of CXCR4 in Barrett esophagus (BE), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EADC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and its relationship with pathology, clinical staging and lymph node metastasis. Methods The expressions of CXCR4 in 56 cases of normal esophageal mucosa, 80 BE (including 22 BE with multifocal dysplasia), 25 EADC and 48 ESCC were examined with immunohistochemical method. Results CXCR4 was expressed in most samples of BE (80. 8% ), EADC (68. 0% ) and ESCC (78.4%) without significant difference ( P ＞ 0. 05 ), which was significantly higher than that in normal esophageal mucosa (39. 3%, P ＜0. 01 ). The level of CXCR4 expression in BE, EADC or ESCC were not related with gender, age, or location of the foci ( P ＞ 0. 05). There was no significant difference in CXCR4 expression between BE without dysplasia or BE with multifocal dysplasia ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). CXCR4 expression level in well-differentiated EADC was significantly higher than that of mild or poorly differentiated (P ＜ 0. 05 ). CXCR4 expression level was higher in EADC with lymph node metastasis than those without ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). CXCR4 level in ESCC with TNM staging grades Ⅲ -Ⅳ was higher than that of grades Ⅰ - Ⅱ, and this variable was also higher in cases with lymph node metastasis than those without (P ＜ 0. 05), so was the case of well and poorly differentiated ESCC (P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion Increased expression level of CXCR4 may be a common feature of EADC and ESCC, which is irrelevant to pathological types. CXCR4 level rises at the stage of BE, which is associated with the degree of tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. CXCR4 expression is of guiding significance in the diagnosis of BE, EADC and ESCC, and is the potential drug target.

Objective To investigate the influence of acute hypervolemic hemodilution(HHD)on pharmacokinetics of propofol.Methods Sixteen ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-55 yrs undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia combined with epidural analgesia were randomly allocated into 2 groups(n=8 each);Ⅰ control group and Ⅱ HHD group.The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 0.1 g and scopolamine 0.3 mg.Right internal jugular vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring and blood sampling.Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring.All patients in both groups received lactated Ringer's solution(0.7 ml?kg~(-1)? number of hours of fasting before operation)before induction of general anesthesia.In HHD group 4% gelofusine 20 ml?kg~(-1) was infused at the rate of 20 ml?kg~(-1)?h~(-1).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.04 mg?kg~(-1),fentanyl 4 ?g?kg~(-1) and propofol 1.5 mg?kg~(-1).Tracheal intubation was facilitated by succinylcholine 2 mg?kg~(-1).Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane,fentanyl,vecuronium and epidural analgesia.ECG,BP, SpO_2,P_(ET)CO_2 and CVP were continuously monitored.Blood samples were taken at 1,2,4,6,10,15,30,45, 60,75,90,120,150,180,240,300 and 360 min after propofol was given Ⅳ for determination of plasma concentration of propofol(HPLC).Pharmacokinetic data were analyzed by 3P97 pharmacokinetic software.Results The two groups were comparable with respect to demographic data.Blood propofol concentrations were significantly lower in HHD group than in control group at 1,2,4,6,10 min after propofol injection(P＜0.01), thereafter there was no significant difference in plasma propofol concentration between the two groups(P＞0.05). The pharmacokinetic profile of propofol was well described by a standard three-compartment model.In HHD group V_C was significantly increased,K_(10) and Cl were significantly decreased and T_(1/2?) was significantly prolonged as compared with control group.Conclusion Acute HHD increases V_C,prolongs the T_(1/2?) and decreases K_(10) and Cl, suggesting that the effect of propofol may be potentiated by acute HHD.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the regulatory effect of potassium channel blocker (tetraethylammonium [TEA], aminopyridine [4-AP], glibenclamide [Glib]) on the proliferation of SD rat prostatic epithelial cells in vitro.

METHODSThe primary culture was prepared by collagenase dissociation of minced prostatic tissues. Cells were cultured in serum-free prostate epithelial cell growth media and identified by immunocytochemical studies. TEA and 4-AP at the concentration of 1, 5 and 10 mmol/L and Glib at the concentration of 10, 50 and 100 mol/L were added, and after 24, 48 and 72 hours of culturing, a cell column diagram was drawn and the cell number counted. The post-passage cell growth was observed by MTT assay and Hoechst33258 nucleus staining.

RESULTSThe cultured cells showed the typical morphological features of epithelia, with positive stain. MTT assay and Hoechst33258 staining showed that TEA, 4-AP and Glib at the increasing concentration effected different degrees of proliferation of prostatic epithelial cells after 24, 48 and 72 h (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe potassium channel blocker is a direct physiological regulator of the proliferation of SD rat prostatic epithelial cells.
