Objective MiR-375 is lowly expressed in esophageal squamous cancer cells and the downstream target gene of miR-375 remains unclear .This paper discusses the role of miR-375 in regulating the expression of short stature homobox 2 ( SHOX2) in human esophageal squamous cancer cells . Methods The bioinformatics software TargetScan , miRanda, PicTar, miRTarget2, and PITA were used to predict the assumptive targets of miR-375 in SHOX2.Then, two recombinant luciferase gene report plasmids containing wild pSHOX2 3′UTR ( pSHOX2-375-WT ) and mutant pSHOX2 3′UTR ( pSHOX2-375-mut ) were constructed , sequenced , and identified.Human esophageal squamous cancer cells were co-transfected with miR-375 mimics and pSHOX2-375-WT or pSHOX2-375-mut, respectively , and divided into 7 groups: pmiR, pSHOX2-375-WT, pSHOX2-375-WT +miR-375, pSHOX2-375-WT +miR-NC, pSHOX2-375-mut, pSHOX2-375-mut+miR-375, and pSHOX2-375-mut+miR-NC, each subjected to the measurement of luciferase activity .The expressions of SHOX 2 mRNA and protein were de-termined after transfection of the esophageal squamous cancer cells with miR-375 mimics, and so were the expressions of miR-375 and SHOX2 in the esophageal squamous carcinoma tissue samples obtained postoperatively . Results Prediction with the five software showed only one conserved function site of miR-375 in SHOX2 3′UTR at 1156-1170 bp.Luciferase activity was significantly lower in the pSHOX2-375-WT+miR-375 group (0.261 ±0.036) than in the pmiR (1.818 ±0.061), pSHOX2-375-WT (1.820 ±0.086), pSHOX2-375-WT+miR-NC (1.851 ±0.094), pSHOX2-375-mut (1.861 ±0.059), pSHOX2-375-mut +miR-375 (1.896 ± 0.048), and pSHOX2-375-mut+miR-NC group (1.760 ±0.062) ( P<0.01).SHOX2 mRNA and protein expressions were sup-pressed by the overexpression of miR-375 in the EC9706 cells.The expression of miR-375 was decreased, while that of SHOX2 in-creased in the esophageal squamous carcinoma tissue as compared with the normal esophageal tissue . Conclusion MiR-375 regu-lates the expression of the SHOX 2 gen in esophageal squamous cancer cells .

OBJECTIVEThis review aims to identify the dimensional structure of the shortened dentine hypersensitivity experience questionnaire (DHEQ-15) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
METHODSThe Chinese language version of DHEQ-15 was applied to 210 patients with dentine hypersensitivity aged 18-70 years old. The three-dimensional construct was confirmed by CFA.
RESULTSAll the questionnaires were fully completed. The item "Because of the sensations, I take longer to finish a meal than others" was the most frequently reported by the parents. The modified three-factor model is suitable for the data. The chi-square fit statistics/degree of freedom was 2.213, the goodness-of-fit index was 0.905, the adjusted goodness-of-fit index was 0.872, the normed fit index was 0.845, the incremental fit index was 0.962, the Tucker-Lewis index was 0.969, the comparative fit index was 0.977, and the root mean square error of approximation was 0.068.
CONCLUSIONSOur findings generally support the three-dimensional construct of the DHEQ-15. Thus, DHEQ-15 can be used as a valid instrument in patients with dentine hypersensitivity in China.

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1994;27(7):782-791
Epidural anesthesia for cesarean section requires sensory blockade up to T4 level. 18 to 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine, 1.5 to 2.0% lidocaine, or 3.0% chloropmcaine usually produces an adequate sensory blockade to T4 level. However, when we used that amount of local anesthetics, most of the patients often complained of mild to moderate pain or discomfort during delivery of baby, manipulation of peritoneum or the uterus. So we feeled the need of increase in dosage of local anesthetics and we used 26 ml of local anesthetics or local anesthetic-fentanyl mixture. This study was undertaken to measure plasma concentration of lidocaine and observe the possible systemic toxicity of local anesthetics with the total dosage of beyond maximum recom-mended dose. Epidural anesthesia were performed with a 17 gauge Tuohy needle and local anesthetics were injected as follows. Group 1 (n;17): 0.5% bupivacaine 100 mg+2% lidocaine 80 mg+fentanyl 100 ug (50 ug/ml) Group 2 (n; 15): 2% lidocaine 520 mg without epinephrine Group 3 (n; ll): 2% lidocaine 480 mg + fentanyl 100 ug All groups were received 26 ml of local anesthetics or local anesthetic-fentanyl mixture. We checked the level of anesthesia, length of spinal column, cardiovascular changes, plasma concen- tration of lidocaine, toxic systemic reactions and patient's complaints. The plasma concentration of lidocaine were measured by immunofluorescence assay at 2, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15 minutes after injection of local anesthetics. The results were as follows; 1) The peak plasma concentration of lidocaine were measured 12 minutes after administration of local anesthetics in the group 2 and 3. 2) Sensory blockade up to T4 level could be accomplished within 10 minutes after epidural anesthesia in the group l. 3) In the group 2 and 3, onset of action was more rapid. These groups had a tendency to fall in blood pressure than the group 1, but recovered soon with small dose of ephedrine. 4) In one patient, maximum peak plasma concentration of hdocaine was 6.8 ug/ml, but no adversereaction was observed. Above results suggested that 26 ml of local anesthetics in all groups could be used for appropriate anesthesia for cesarean section with minimal camplications and patient's satisfaction.
