Objective To observe the protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on anoxia of motoneurons after spinal cord injury in rats.Methods The motoneuron was dissociated from neonate Wistar rats and cultivated in vitro with deprivation of oxygen in the medium. The changes of morphology were observed by phase-contrast microscopy, and the expression of EPO receptor (EPOR) was detected with Western blotting. The survival rate of motoneuron was measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was observed. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of EPOR and the level of LDH increased (P<0.01),and the survival rate of motoneuron decreased (P<0.01) in the anoxia group. Compared with the anoxia group, the expression of EPOR and the level of LDH decreased (P<0.05), and the survival rate of motoneuron increased (P<0.01) in the EPO group, which was related with the level of EPO. Conclusion EPO could relieve the damage of motoneuron caused by anoxia, especially by upregulating EPOR.

Objective To evaluate the value of spectral CT imaging for the differential diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) and adenocarcinoma (ADC) of the esophagogastric junction. Methods Forty-five patients with a mass in the esophagogastric junction proved by pathology underwent enhanced scan with spectral CT, including 20 cases of SQCC and 25 cases of ADC. Iodine concentration (IC) , water concentration (WC) , effective atomic number (Eff-Z) and spectral curve slope (λHU) of arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP) in the ROI of the mass were measured with gemstone spectral imaging post-processing software. The independent samples t test was used to compare the quantitative parameters above between two groups on the premise of satisfying normal distribution. ROC curves were drawn for the parameters which showed statistical differences and area under the curve (AUC) was used to measure and compare their respective differential diagnostic performance as well as the best threshold value. Results In AP,the average IC, Eff-Z, andλHU of ADC were (1.75±0.40) mg/ml, 8.65±0.22, and 3.33±0.74, respectively. The corresponding parameters of SQCC were (1.40 ± 0.35) mg/ml, 8.50 ± 0.20, and 2.71 ± 0.66, respectively. These parameters of ADC were significantly higher than that of SQCC (t=-2.833,-2.879,-2.678;P<0.05) . In VP, the average IC, Eff-Z, and λHU of ADC were (2.17 ± 0.23) mg/ml, 8.87 ± 0.11, and 4.10 ± 0.44, respectively. The corresponding parameters of SQCC were (1.67 ± 0.20) mg/ml, 8.60 ± 0.11, and 3.19 ± 0.41, respectively. The difference between ADC and SQCC was statistically significant (t=-6.963,-7.218,-6.521;P<0.05). For the average WC, No difference between the two groups in AP and VP was found. ROC curve analysis showed that IC, Eff-Z, andλHU in VP had better differential diagnostic performances than IC, Eff-Z, and λHU in AP, especially Eff-Z in VP. The AUC for it was 0.97. Using 8.72 as a threshold value, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis were 88.9% and 94.7% , respectively. Conclusion Multi-parameters quantitative analysis with spectral CT could be useful in the differential diagnosis of SQCC and ADC of the esophagogastric junction.

Objective To detect the levels of CD4+CD25HiCD127Low regulatory T cells (Treg) in the peripheral blood and its clinical significance in patients with esophageal cancer. Methods The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood were detected by three-color flow cytometry (FCM) in 80 patients with esophageal cancer and 20 healthy controls. Among the 80 patients, 30 patients were also further studied for preoperative and postoperative comparison after operation. The clinical and pathological data of each patient were collected and analyzed for the correlation with the Treg levels. Results The level of Treg in the peripheral blood of the control group was lower than that of the esophageal cancer patients [(3.36±1.14) % and (5.70±1.96) %, respectively], with significant difference (P <0.01). The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood was higher in the patients with metastasis of lymph node (n=40) than that in the patients without metastasis of lymph node (5.96±1.36) % and (4.23±1.18) %, respectively] (n=30), with significant difference (P <0.01). The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood of the patients were negatively correlated with their TNM classification. As the TNM classification advanced, the level of the Treg in the peripheral blood increased. Conclusion The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood of the patients with esophageal cancer are significantly higher than that of the healthy subjects, which is correlated with the clinical and pathological conditions. The development of esophageal cancer may relate with suppression of immune function.
