Objective To observe the effect of curcumin combined with cisplatin on the proliferation of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca?8113 cells,and explore the possible mechanism of their anti?tumor effect in vitro. Methods In this study,the samples were divided into four groups:curcumin,cisplatin,curcumin combined with cisplatin,and control. Detection of rate of inhibition of Tca?8113 cell proliferation was carried out by MTT assay. This was followed by observation of the morphological changes of the nuclei by Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining. Subse?quently,cellular apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry,and expression of Notch1 and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)was examined by Western blotting. Results Results of MTT assay showed that curcumin combined with cisplatin inhibited the proliferation of tongue squamous cell carcinoma to a greater extent than either curcumin or cisplatin alone(P<0.05). Flow cytometry analysis indicated that,unlike curcumin or cisplatin alone,curcumin combined with cisplatin noticeably induced apoptosis(P<0.05). Results of Western blotting revealed that the expres?sion of Notch1 was upregulated,whereas the expression of EGFR was downregulated to a greater extent in the control group than in cells treated with curcumin or cisplatin alone. Unlike curcumin and cisplatin groups,the combined group revealed statistically significant expressions of Notch1 and EGFR(P<0.05). Conclusion Curcumin and cisplatin have a combined effect on inhibition of proliferation of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca?8113 cells. The mechanism may be related to upregulation of the Notch1 signaling pathway and downregulation of the EGFR signal?ing pathway.

Purpose:
It is well known that congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in infants impacts pulmonary function rehabilitation after surgery. However, the risk factors of postoperative pulmonary function are still unclear. In this research, we analyzed the potential risk factors of postoperative pulmonary function in CDH patients in order to improve the clinical management of CDH patients.
Methods:
Thirty-three cases CDH infants followed were enrolled from November 2016 to September 2018. Clinical data were reviewed. Tidal breathing pulmonary function testing was performed after surgery. Correlation between pulmonary function and clinical characteristics was evaluated using multivariate analysis of variance.
Results:
Pulmonary dysfunction was detected in 87.9% patients (29 of 33). The defect size was found to be significantly larger in patients with obstructed and mixed ventilatory disorders (P = 0.001). Diagnosis of gestational age (GA) was also significantly earlier compared to restrictive ventilatory disorders (P = 0.001). Larger defect size, and earlier prenatal diagnosis of GA were detected in severe obstructive ventilatory disorders (P = 0.007, P = 0.001, retrospectively).
Conclusion
Most patients had various degrees of pulmonary dysfunction after surgery. Patients with larger defect size and earlier diagnosis time might be vulnerable to severe obstructive and mixed ventilatory disorders.

OBJECTIVETo Summarize the clinical experience in the treatment of late-stage emphysema by lung volume reduction (LVR) in 5 years.
METHODSWe retrospectively studied the indications, contraindications, operation procedures and complications of LVR in 22 patients.
RESULTSBefore operation, the average FEV(1) was 24.5%, RV 196.8%, and TLC 130.5%; after operation they were 27.8%, 148.8% and 112.5%, respectively. 16 patients needed inhaling oxygen before operation, and 5 after operation. 16 patients finished 6-minute walking test with an average of 198 m, all patients walked much longer with an average of 256 m after operation. 3-degree lung function was observed in 14 patients, and 4-degree before operation in 8 patients; but 2-degree lung function in 5 patients, 3-degree in 13, and 4-degree in 4 after operation.
CONCLUSIONSHeterogeneous type emphysema with clear target area, especially bullous emphysema is the best indication for LVR. Lung function and life quality could be much improved postoperatively. Homogeneous type could also be treated with LVR in highly selected cases. TLCO < 20% is not an absolute contraindication, others standards need further investigation. Video-assistant thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with subaxillary small incision for LVR is safe, reliable and effective. Application of stapler buttressing with bovine pericardia could decrease air leakage postoperatively.

The present case report was designed to summarize the clinical experience of operative technique. lung preservation, lung perfusion, and perioperative management. Of 7 cases who underwent allogenic single lung transplantation (LT), 3 were idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, 2 were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 1 was silicosis, emphysema, and bulla, and I was tuberculosis in both sides and presented with destroyed lung in one side. All donors were already brain death. Donor lungs were well preserved utilizing Euro-Colins liquid or low-potassium dextran solution. Donors and recipients were matched in blood type. Of 7 cases selected,5 received single right lung transplantation, and 2 received single left LT. End-to-end anastomosis was performed for pulmonary branches and pulmonary arteries. while atrium-to-atrium anastomosis was performed for pulmonary vein. Antibiotics and immunosuppressants were routinely used prior to and subsequent to LT. Following LT, heart and lung function, usage of antibiotics, and adjustment of immunosuppressant were monitored. Stomal complications regarding bronchus and pulmonary artery and vein did not appear in any patient. Five cases survived for about 2 months, one for approximately 1 year, and one for nearly 2 years. Four cases died of multi-organ failure caused by pulmonary infection, and one of severe pulmonary hemorrhage caused by aspergillus sydowi infection. Rejection occurred in 6 cases. One case sufiered from rejection three times. Selection of indication, selection and preservafton of donor lung, LT operation and pre-and post-operative management of LT have acquired satisfactory achievements. High mortality occurred in patients with preoperative poor cardiac and pulmonary functions and postoperative severe infections accompany with application of immunosuppressant.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and their special calcium-activated chloride channel, anoctamin-1 (ANO1) play pivotal roles in regulating colonic transit. This study is designed to investigate the role of ICC and the ANO1 channel in colonic transit disorder in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-treated colitis mice. METHODS: Colonic transit experiment, colonic migrating motor complexes (CMMCs), smooth muscle spontaneous contractile experiments, intracellular electrical recordings, western blotting analysis, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were applied in this study. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein expressions of c-KIT and ANO1 channels were significantly decreased in the colons of DSS-colitis mice. The colonic artificial fecal-pellet transit experiment in vitro was significantly delayed in DSS-colitis mice. The CMMCs and smooth muscle spontaneous contractions were significantly decreased by 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB), an ANO1 channel blocker, and NG-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase activity, in DSS-colitis mice compared with that of control mice. Intracellular electrical recordings showed that the amplitude of NPPB-induced hyperpolarization was more positive in DSS-colitis mice. The electric field stimulation-elicited nitric-dependent slow inhibitory junctional potentials were also more positive in DSS-colitis mice than those of control mice. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that colonic transit disorder is mediated via downregulation of the nitric oxide/ICC/ANO1 signalling pathway in DSS-colitis mice.
