In≤60 years patients, the rate of esophageal cancer in male was higher than that in female: 56.15%(338/602) vs. 34.09%(30/88), χ2 = 15.005, P =0.000. Clinical pathological factors of lymph node metastasis showed that there were statistically significant differences between male and female: 45.68%(275/602) vs. 34.09%(30/88), χ2 = 4.182, P =0.041;the lower the position, the higher the lymph nodes metastasis rate:the lymph nodes metastasis rate in superior segment, middle segment, inferior segment was 32.00%(8/25), 41.22%(216/524) and 57.45%(81/141),χ2=13.425, P=0.001;the lower the differentiation, the higher the lymph nodes metastasis rate:the lymph nodes metastasis rate in high, middle and lower differentiation was 40.84%(165/404), 47.60%(109/229) and 75.76%(25/33), χ2 = 16.065, P = 0.000. The lymph nodes metastasis rate in different general types and histology types had no significant differences(P>0.05). Conclusions The incidence rate of esophageal cancer in male is significantly higher than that in female, the higher the lymph node metastasis rate, the lower the position and the differentiation of esophageal cancer in Luzhou prefecture of Sichuan.

Objective To evaluate the importance of plasma MicroRNAs in early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods 24 patients with AMI as the test group and 20healthy volunteers as the control group were enrolled in this study.Plasma levels of microRNA-1,microRNA-133a,microRNA-208a and microRNA-499 were detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h after the onset of AMI.Results Plasma microRNA-1 level was greatly increased and reached the peak at 3 h after AMI,then was decreased gradually to normal level at 72 h after AMI.Plasma microRNA-133a level was significantly elevated at 6 h after AMI,reached peak at 12 h after AMI,then was decreased to normal level at 48 h after AMI.Plasma microRNA-1 and microRNA-133a levels were correlated with cTnI expression.The peak time of microRNA-1 was earlier than that of cTnI,while the peak time of microRNA-133a was the same as that of cTnI.Conclusions Increased circulating microRNA-1 and microRNA-133a may serve as potential and novel biomarkers for early diagnosis of AMI.

Objective To analyze the value of fine needle aspiration for male breast cancer and to investigate the clinical characteristics of male breast cancer.Methods The cell morphological characteristics of fine needle aspi-ration and clinical data were analyzed retrospectively within a total of 35 cases with male breast cancer of Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College,from 2000 January to 2014 December.Results During the 35 patients of male breast cancer with fine needle aspiration,from 35 to 82 years old,the median age was 64 years old and mean age was 61.6 years old.There were 23 cases of male breast cancer from 60~82 years old,suggesting that the relatively high incidence was after the age of 60 years.The diameter of male breast tumor was 0.8~8cm,while the average diameter was 3.5cm.In the clinical stage of TNM,14 cases were with stageⅠ,13 cases were with stageⅡ,7 cases were with stage Ⅲand 1 case wasⅣstage;that was to say,the cases of male breast cancer in the late was relatively more.The invasive ductal cancers were 16 cases (45.7%) of male breast cancer.The sensitivity was 94.3% of fine needle aspiration cytology before the operation.Conclusion The accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology has important significance for the diagnosis of male breast cancer,can be used as a mean of detecting male breast tumor as benign or malignant.

Objective To explore the predictive value of ventricle late potential (LP) for arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome. Methods Totally 43 patients with Brugada syndrome were divided into symptom group (n=24) and asymptom group (n=19).Signalaveraged electrocardiography(SAECG) was performed to analyze characteristics of LP in all subjects.The occurrence of arrhythmic events was observed in all patients during the dynamic follow-up for (33.8±9.0) months.Results There were 22 cases (91.7％) and 7 cases (36.8％) with LP positive in patients with symptom and asymptom,respectively.The incidences of arrhythmic events were 72.4％ in Brugada syndrome patients with positive LP and 14.3％ in patients with negative LP,respectively.The relative risk (RR,95％ CI) for LP prediction of the arrhythmic events was [5.1,(1.4～ 18.6)] (P =0.002). ConclusionsLP may be one of effective factors predicting arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In recent years, endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) has gained popularity worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESTD in treating upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (SMTs) in a large-volume endoscopic center. METHODS: Patients with SMTs were enrolled in this study between January 2012 and January 2015. Demographic data, clinical data, and treatment outcome were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Seventy SMTs originating from the muscularis propria (MP) layer were identified in 69 patients. All patients successfully underwent the ESTD procedure. The mean procedure time was 49.0±29.5 minutes, and the mean tumor size was 18.7±7.2 mm. Among all lesions, the majority (70.0%) were located in the esophagus, 12.9% in the cardia, and 17.1% in the stomach. Complete resection was achieved in 67 lesions (95.7%). Perforation occurred in three patients (4.3%), who were treated by endoclips. Pneumothorax occurred in two patients (2.9%) and was successfully managed by thoracic drainage. During a median follow-up of 18.1 months, patients were free of local recurrence or distant metastasis. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated the feasibility and safety of ESTD in treating upper gastrointestinal SMTs originating from the MP layer. Large-scale comparative studies with other treatment methods should be conducted in the future.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the association between obesity and glaucoma in middle-aged and older people. A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. METHODS: Glaucoma was assessed via self-reports. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model were used to assess the relationship between obesity and glaucoma risk. RESULTS: Older males living in urban areas who were single, smokers, and non-drinkers were found to have a significantly higher incidence of glaucoma (all p<0.05). Diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease were also associated with higher glaucoma risk, while dyslipidemia was associated with lower risk (all p<0.05). After the model was adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related variables, obesity was significantly associated with a 10.2% decrease in glaucoma risk according to the Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio, 0.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83 to 0.97) and an 11.8% risk reduction in the multivariate logistic regression analysis (odds ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.80 to 0.97). A further subgroup analysis showed that obesity was associated with a reduced risk of glaucoma in people living in rural areas, in smokers, and in those with kidney disease (all p<0.05). Obesity also reduced glaucoma risk in people with diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia more than in healthy controls (all p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This cohort study suggests that obesity was associated with a reduced risk of glaucoma, especially in rural residents, smokers, and people with kidney disease. Obesity exerted a stronger protective effect in people with diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia than in healthy people.

Objective To explore the efficacy of a new anti-heart failure drug,Entresto,in the prevention of cardiotoxicity caused by doxorubicin(DOX).Methods Male adult ICR mice were randomly divided into three groups(n = 8):control group,DOX group and DOX plus Entresto group.Cardiac function of mice was measured by echocardiography.H9c2 cells were pretreated with Entresto(0-48 μmol/L)for 24 hours in the presence or absence of DOX(1 mmol/L),and then cell viability,oxidative stress,apoptosis and mitochondrial function were evaluated.Results As compared with the control group,leakage of CK,CK-MB and LDH increased significantly in the DOX group(P<0.01),and left ventricular systolic dysfunction occurred.Entresto administration reversed these changes in the DOX group.The level of ROS and the number of apoptotic cells in cardiomyocytes in the DOX plus Entresto group were lower than those in the DOX group(P<0.05).As compared with the DOX group,the level of ROS and the number of apoptotic cells in H9c2 cells decreased significantly in the Entresto plus DOX group(P<0.05),and mitochondrial membrane potential increased significantly(P<0.05).Entresto reversed the inhibitory effect of DOX on SIRT1/PGC-1α/MFN2 signaling pathway.Conclusions Entresto improves DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting ROS-mediated oxidative stress and apoptosis,and its mechanism may be related to SIRT1/PGC-1α/MFN2 signal transduction pathway.
