From 1975 to 1976,in Linxian county of Henan province,52 patients with early stage easophageal carcinoma were treated by radiotherapy alone. After 10-year follow-up, the 5-and 10-year surving rates were 73.1%(38/52) and 50.0%(56/52), respectively. Local recurrence was considered as the major cause of death and distance metastasis as the minor. We believe that it is very important to do the "three early "(find early, diagnose early and treat early ) and D T5000~5500cGy/5~5.5wks may be the best dose for radiotherapy alone for early easophageal carcinoma.

Objective To study the force and pressure transmission through normal wrist,and the effect of transverse carpal ligament release on the biomechanics of carpal tunnel.Methods A 3-D finite element model of the wrist based on CT scan images was established.The load transmission of carpus and the distribution of contact stress on radiocarpal joint under axial compressive force on metacarpals as well as the effect of transverse carpal ligament(TCL)release on the displacement of carpal bones were computed and analyzed.Results The computational results of force and pressure transmission through normal carpus matched well with previous studies.The release of TCL resulted in radial and palmar displacement of the scaphoid,flexion and radial rotation of radiocarpal joint as well as a further radial deviation of the whole carpal tunnel.Conclusion A 3-D finite element model of the wrist that includes the carpal tunnel,distal radius and ulna and proximal metacarpals is developed.This model may simulate the load transmission better and contact stress distribution of carpal tunnel and radiocarpal joint,as well as provide an operational plateform for further deeply studing on biomechanical behavior of carpal structure.The computed and analyzed results of the effect of TCL release on the displacements of carpal bones can be served as related theoratic base on carpal tunnel syndrome,carpal tunnel release surgery and recovery after operation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Dishevelled protein expression and the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells.Methods 67 cases of brain glioma specimens were collected.The expression of Dishevelled protein was detected with immunohistochemical method.The immunoreactivity score (IRS) of Dishevelled protein,and proliferation index (PⅠ) and invasion index (Ⅱ) were measured and their correlations were analyzed.Results The positive rate of Dishevelled protein in glioma was 65.7 % (44/67).IRS,PⅠ and Ⅱ were 4.15±3.13,(30.93±17.92) %,(20.38±13.36) %,respectively.Both PⅠ and Ⅱ significantly increased with an increase in the pathological grade of brain glioma (P < 0.001).Furthermore,PⅠ and Ⅱ were significantly higher in the Dishevelled protein-positive group than those in the Dishevelled protein-negative group [(38.27±17.60) % vs (16.02±8.92) % of PⅠ and (30.03±13.81) % vs (10.63±4.41) % of Ⅱ,respectively,P < 0.001].PⅠ and Ⅱ of glioma cells were positively correlated with IRS of Dishevelled protein (r =0.940 between PⅠ and IRS,and r =0.953 between Ⅱ and IRS,respectively).Conclusion Dishevelled protein plays an important role in the proliferation and invasion of brain malignant glioma.

AIM To observe the protective effect of total flavone of Abelmoschl Manihot L medic(TFA) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury(IRI) in the rat heart in vitro. METHODS We adopted the method of in vivo perfusion set up by Langendorff to observe the changes of some markers, such as MDA,SOD,CPK,LDH,etc in the myocardial homogenate in the rat heart following ischemia and reperfusion. RESULTS TFA( 100,50,25 mg?L -1) can significantly reduce the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde(MDA), increase the activity of myocardium superoxide dismutase(SOD), decrease the transudation of creatine phosphokinase(CPK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from cardiomyocyte. And also, TFA caused an improvement of nitric oxide (NO) and its synthase, NOS. CONCLUSION TFA play a protective role on myocardial reperfusion injury in the rat in vitro via inhibition of lipid peroxidation, enhancement of anti-oxidation and relaxing of coronary artery.

Objective To investigate the effects of different magnitudes of mechanical stress on human interverte-bral disc degeneration. Methods The human intervertebral disc cells were subjected to different magnitudes of mechanical stress (0, 6%, 12%, or 18%elongation) for 24 h using a Flexercell Strain Unit. The mRNA expressions of anabolic genes (col-lagen-1A1, collagen-2A1, aggrecan and versican) and catabolic genes (MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5) were examined by real-time PCR and Western blot methods. Results The expression levels of collagen-1A1 and collagen-2A1 were increased at 12%of mechanical stress, and collagen-2A1 was decreased at 18%of mechanical stress compared with those of control. The mRNA expressions of catabolic genes, MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5, were increased at 12%and 18%of mechanical stress than those of control. The mechanical stretch induced a magnitude-dependent increase in ADAMTS-4 synthesis, which was finely tuned by stretching-triggered activation of distinct mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. Specifically, an ERK1/2 specific inhibitor, U0126, significantly inhibited the stretching-induced ADAMTS-4 expression, whereas the inhibitors of p38 and JNK, SP6000125 and SB203580, showed only slightly effect on the stretching-induced ADAMTS-4 expression. Conclusion The different magnitudes of mechanical stretch exhibited different effects on the bio-logical behavior of intervertebral disc cells, which profoundly affects the intervertebral disc degeneration.
