The research of esophageal target is a difficult spot in the precise radiotherapy and the target mobility has an important effect for the radiotherapy of esophageal cancer.By different breathing control techniques,controlling the patient's respiratory may narrow target mobility so as to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy.But the present studies of the movement range of esophageal cancer with the respiratory control technologies have not come to a consistent standard.The area shape and position change of esophageal cancer target is a key problem that needs to be solved in the esophageal precise radiotherapy.

As a transcriptional repressor,Bmi-1 is a member of polyeomb group gene family.It may play an important role in self-renewal ability and proliferation of stem cell.At present,studies show that Bmi-1 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors,which can be regarded as one of the markers of cancer stem cells and has a close relation to the cancer development and progression and radiation resistance.It will provide an important target gene for the treatment of malignant tumors.

BACKGROUND:Studies on high glucose exposure in human periodontal ligament cel s usual y focus on the biological behaviors, pathways and secretory factors, but whether the metabolic memory is involved is little known. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the metabolic memory of high glucose exposure in human periodontal ligament cel s. METHODS:Human periodontal ligament cel s were primarily cultured and identified. Cel s at 5-8 passages were selected and randomized into four groups. Group A (controls):DMEM containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose for 8 days;group B (5-day memory group):DMEM containing 35 mmol/L glucose for 3 days and DMEM containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose for 5 days;group C (3-day memory group):DMEM containing 35 mmol/L glucose for 5 days and DMEM containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose for 3 days;group D (8-day high glucose group):DMEM containing 35 mmol/L glucose for 8 days. The cel proliferation was detected by cel counting kit-8, the cel apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry, and the levels of total proteins and alkaline phosphatase were investigated using ELISA. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the cel proliferation in the other three groups was significantly reduced (P<0.05), the number of apoptotic cel s was significantly increased, while the levels of total proteins and alkaline phosphatase were significantly decreased (P<0.05). These results suggest that high glucose causes persistent changes in human periodontal ligament cel s by inhibiting cel viability, increasing the apoptosis and downregulating the levels of the total proteins and alkaline phosphatase

Objective To investigate the effect of paroxetine in the adjuvant treatment of maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)com-plicating depression.Methods 60 patients with MHD complicating depression were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,30 cases in each group.The control group received the routine therapeutical scheme(hemodialysis,complication treatment and correcting the renal anemia,etc).On the basis of the routine therapy the observation group was given oral paroxetine 10 mg/d,once daily for continuous 8 weeks.The depression level was assessed by the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD).The clinical symptoms,levels of Hb,ALB,Kt/V,iPTH,SF and HAMD scores were statistically analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results The clinical symptoms,levels of Hb,ALB,Kt/V after 8-week treatment in the two groups were significantly im-proved compared with pretherapy(P<0.05);the level of iPTH,SF and the HAMD scores in the two groups were decreased com-pared with pretherapy(P<0.05).The effective rate of depression was 86.67% in the observation group and 23.33% in the control group,the difference between the two groups had statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion Paroxetine in the assisted treat-ment of MHD complicating depression symptom can improve the quality of life in MHD patients.

Objective To explore the effect of mesenteric lymphatic ligation on liver injury induced by severe acute pancreatitis. Methods 54 SD rats are randomly divided into sham-operation group (A), severe acute pancreatitis group (B) and severe acute pancreatitis and ligation group (C). Liver tissues were collected from each rat in 6, 12, and 24 h after ligation. Pathological changes in liver tissues were observed by haematoxylin and eosin staining. Levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were detected. Levels of TNF-α and IL-1 in liver homogenate were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Under light microscopic examination, neutrophils and inflammatory exudate in hepatic lobule was increased as time prolonged in group B. Inflammation was reduced in group C as compared with group B.Levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were more significantly increased in groups B and C than in group A (P<0.05);while they were more significantly decreased in group C than in group B. Levels of TNF-αand IL-1 in liver homogenate were significantly increased in group B as compared with group A (P < 0.05); whereas they were more significantly decreased in group C than in group B at 24 h (P < 0.05). Conclusions Mesenteric lymphatic ligation can reduce liver injury in severe acute pancreatitis. Mesenteric lymphatic fluids may play an important role in severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To study the impact of hepatic steatosis on the safety and prognosis of patients who received partial hepatectomy for liver cancer.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 338 patients who received hepatic resection for liver carcinoma.Results There were 273,44 and 21 patients who had a normal liver,mild steatosis and moderate-to-severe steatosis respectively.There was a significantly higher body mass index in the steatosis group (P ＜ 0.05).The operative time,blood loss,transfusion rate,postoperative hospital stay and ICU stay increased in patients with moderate-severe fatty liver (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Mild steatosis had little impact on partial hepatectomy.Moderate-to-severe hepatic steatosis was associated with increased blood loss and perioperative morbidity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells(Treg) in peripheral blood and intestinal endotoxin (ET) in liver injury of rat severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).MethodsSixty male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into sham operation group(SO group) and severe acute pancreatitis group(SAP group).The rats in SAP group recevied the injection of Sodium Taurocholate(NaTc) into their far-end of bile-pancreatic duct and were sacrificed in 3-,6-and 12-hour,serum amylase(AMY) and alanine aminotransferase(ALT) determined by full-automatic biochemistry instrument,limulus reagent method is used to determine ET content in plasma,the proportion of Treg among peripheral lymphocytes was determined by Flow Cytometry(FCM),HE stain is used to observe pathological changes in liver and pancreas,the protein of Foxp3 activity was evaluated by immunohistochemistry staining,and the relationships between these indicators were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis test.ResultsHistopathologic examination and the level of ALT revealed the occurrence of pancreatic inflammation and pathological changes of liver in SAP group.The percentage of Treg in SAP groups significantly increased at 3 h(2.26％ ±0.32％),6 h(2.36 ％ ±0.48％)and 12 h(2.80％ ±0.35％) comparing to the SO groups(P＜0.01) ; plasma ET levels compared with the SO group was statistically significant (P＜ 0,01 ),and 12 h (0.85 ± 0.11) compared to,3 h (0.74±0.11) and 6 h (0.78-±-0.07) was no significant difference (P＞0.05).The expression of Foxp3 protein on the livers were upregulated markedly.Pearson correlation analysis teat showed that quantities of Treg were positively proportional to the levels of ET(r=0.89,P＜0.01) after liver injury of SAP.ConclusionsSAP may lead to liver injury and the high plasma levels of ET and Treg in peripheral blood may play an important role in liver injury of SAP.

Objective To investigate the effects of peptide-binding domain (PBD) of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 on epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rat renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods The expressions of wild-type HSP72,mutant of HSP72 lacking peptide binding domain (HSP72-△PBD) and HSP72-PBD were induced by plasmid transfection.NRK-52E ceils were stimulated by TGF-β1 for 48 h.The expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),E-cadherin,HSP72 and Smad3/p-Smad3 were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence.Results After NRK-52E cells were stimulated by TGF-β 1 (10 μg/L) for 48 h,the expression of α-SMA was increased and the protein level of E-cadherin was decreased.Western blotting and immunofluorescence showed that over-expression of both HSP72 and PBD inhibited TGF-β1-induced up-regulation of protein α-SMA expression,down-regulation of protein E-cadherin.However,overexpression of HSP72-△PBD did not change the protein level of E-cadherin and α-SMA.In addition,over-expression of HSP72 and PBD significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of Smad3.Conclusion Inhibition of Smad3 activation and EMT by HSP72 is associated with the function of PBD.
