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.

In order to strengthen the management of disinfection quality of endoscopes, Quality Control Center of Digestive Endoscopy and Nosocomial Infection Control Center of Yunnan Province investigated the diagnosis, treatment, cleaning and disinfection conditions and disinfection quality of digestive endoscopes in some medical institutions of Yunnan Province by web questionnaire from April to May in 2019, and 277 valid questionnaires were finally obtained. SPSS 19.0 statistical software was used to analyze the influencing factors of cleaning and disinfection process and the infection control implementation of digestive endoscopes in 227 secondary and tertiary hospitals. The results showed that the number of decontamination people who had received systematic training in Yunnan Province was significantly lower than that in other areas of China. The hospital level, the number of decontamination personnel, and decontamination methods affected the implementation of cleaning and decontamination process and infection control, while the allocation of decontamination supplies had no effects. It is important to establish an effective mechanism for the normalized implementation of cleaning and disinfection of digestive endoscopes.

Objective: To observe the effects of follistatin (FST)on the skeletal muscle wasting of cancer cachexia mice and the expressions of Mstn, LncRNA-MALAT1 and Caspase-3, and to elucidate its associated molecular mechanisms.Methods:Thirty-two BALB/c mices were randomly assigned into:healthy control (HC) group,FST prevention (FP)group,FST treatment (FT)group and cancer cachexia (CC)group.The murine colon adenocarcinoma CT26 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the mices in FP, FT and CC groups to establish the cancer cachexia models. The body weight, spontaneous activity and tumor growth were daily monitored.The mice in FP and FT groups were administrated with FST intraperitoneally on day 6 and 12 after inoculation.The samples were collected on day 20.The tumor and gastrocnemius weights of the mice were detected. The biochemical metabolism indexes and myofiber cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius tissue were detected.The mRNA expression levels of Mstn,Caspase-3 and LncRNA-MALAT1 were examined by Real-time PCR.The protein expression levels of Mstn and Caspase-3 were measured by Western blotting method. Results:Compared with CC group,the body weights,spontaneous activities,gastrocnemius weights and myofiber cross-sectional areas were increased (P <0.05);the serum levels of glucose,total protein and albumin of the mice in FP and FT groups were increased (P <0.05).The protein and mRNA expression levels of Mstn and Caspase-3 in gastrocnemius of the mice in CC group were significantly higher and the expression level of LncRNA-MALAT1 was significantly lower than those in HC group (P < 0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of Mstn and Caspase-3 in FP and FT groups were reduced and the expression level of LncRNA-MALAT1 was increased compared with CC group (P < 0.05).The prevention effect in FP group is better than FT group (P < 0.05). Conclusion:FST may alleviate the muscle wasting of the mice with cancer cachexia by inhibiting the expression of Mstn,thus upregulating the expression of LncRNA-MALAT1 which in turn to suppress the expression of Caspase-3.

[Objective]To investigate the effect of pantoprazole on skeletal muscle wasting in cancer cachexia and the possible mechanism.[Methods]24 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group(NN),cancer cachexia group(CC),pantrop?razole treatment group(PPI). The mice in CC and PPI were inoculated subcutaneously with mouse colon adenocarcinoma C26 cells to establish a model of cancer cachexia. The mice in PPI group were gavaged with 75 mg/kg pantoprazole dissolving in physiological saline,while those in NN and CC group were gavaged with 0.1 mL/10 g physiological saline. The mice were killed 12d after treatment. The weight of gastrocnemius and tumour and the size of tumour were measured. The morphological change of skeletal muscle were evalu?ated by the method of stain with hematoxylin and eosin(H&E). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-αin serum were tested by ELISA. qRT-PCR was used to assess the expression of mRNA of Myod1 and myf5 in skeletal muscle. The protein expressions of MuRF1,MAFBx, Myod1 and myf5 were measured by Western blot.[Results]Compared with CC group ,pantoprazole can increase the weight of mice and gastrocnemius(39.8% and 24.2%,respectively),cross section area(25.4%),levels of mRNA and protein of Myod1 and myf5(P<0.05),while the levels of IL-6 and TNF-αdecreased(30.7%and 18.9%,respectively),as well as the levels of protein ex?pression of MuRF1 and MAFBx(P < 0.05).[Conclusion]Pantoprazole can attenuate the wasting of skeletal muscle,the potential mechanism may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory factors and UPS ,and up-regulation of Myod1 and myf5.

Objective To investigate the clinical pathological association of FOXQ1 with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and colorectal adenoma (CRA). Colorectal mucosa specimens were collected between Jane 2007 and June 2009 in the First hospital of Yunnan prorince, and consisted of CRC (n=76), CRA (n=50) and normal (n=48,≥8 cm apart from cancer) tissues. Methods The expression of FOXQ1 in colorectal mucosa with was detected using immunohistochemistry (SP method). PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing were used to identify FOXQ1 gene mutations in 23 CRC, 22 CRA and 18 normal specimens. Results There was no expression of FOXQ1 in normal specimens. Aberrant expression of FOXQ1 in either CRC or CRA specimens was significantly higher than in normal colorectal mucosa tissue (76.3% vs 0.0%, 26.0% vs 0.0% respectively, P<0.01).Aberrant expression rates of FOXQ1 was significantly higher in CRC than that in CRA (76.3% vs 26.0%, P<0.01). Expression level of FOXQ1 was increase gradually along with the pathological process of colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence. In CRC, the aberrant expression of FOXQ1 was not only distributed in nuclear of the tumor cells, but also found in the cytoplasm and the extracellular matrix. For CRC patients, the aberrant expression rates of FOXQ1 in extracellular matrix in Dukes C/D was significantly higher than that in Dukes A/B (61.5% vs 3.3%, 61.5% vs 5.0% respectively,P<0.01);The aberrant expression of FOXQ1 in extracellular matrix in patient with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis (61.5 % vs 4.0 %, P<0.01). FOXQ1 gene mutation was only identified in one out of 23 CRC specimens, but not found in 22CRA nor 18 normal colorectal mucosa samples. Conclusions Aberrant expression of FOXQ1 may play an important role in the carcinogenesis of CRC and FOXQ1 gene may be involved in the cancer erosion and lymph node metastasis. FOXQ1 mutation is not the primary cause of aberrant FOXQ1 expression in CRC.
