Objective To study the effect of labeling esophageal carcinoma with sliver clips on two sides by esophagoscopy in mapping the target for conformal radiotherapy (CRT). Methods Eighty patients with esophageal carcinoma (28 patients in early stage, 52 patients in late stage), who were eligible for CRT, were collected and the tumor volume was detected by three methods: CT (A),CT combined with X-ray (B) and CT combined with sliver clip labeling by esophagoscopy (C). The differences of the tumor length and position in head-foot site (Y-axsis) among three methods were compared. Results The comparison of average length of tumor in early stage patients showed significant difference among three methods in all types of tumor (F= 4.07 ~ 7.43, P<0.05 ) except papillary type (F= 1. 71, P>0. 05). There was difference (ranged from 0. 5 cm to 2. 0 cm) in detection of position in head-foot site between A and B methods and C method. Significant difference was found in determining the displacement on head-foot site among three methods (F = 34. 36 ~193.50,P <0.01). The comparison of average length of tumor in middle or terminal stage patients showed significant difference among three methods in all types of tumor (F=4. 07~30.10 ,P<0.05) except mushroom type (F = 2.44, P> 0. 05). Significant difference was found in determining the displacement on head-foot site among three methods (F= 12.00 ~ 21.16, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion These findings indicate that C method is more sensitive and correct in mapping the target for CRT in comparison with other two methods.

Objective To investigate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on action potential (AP)and transient outward potassium channel (Ito) in rat ventricular myocytes in order to evaluate the anti-arrhythmia mechanism of DHA. Method The rat ventricular myocytes were isolated by using enzyme digestion method. AP and Ito of individual ventricular myocyte were recorded by using patch-clamp technique in whole-cell configuration at room temperature. The effects of DHA on AP and Ito were observed when it was applied in 0 μmol/L, 20 μmol/L, 40 μmol/L, 60 μmol/L, 80 μmol/L, 100 μmol/L and 120μmol/L separaterly. Results The 25%,50% and 90% of action potential duration (APD25, APD50 and APD90) were gradually prolonged with the escalation of concentration of DHA ( P < 0.05, n= 20). The effects of DHA of different concentrations on AP maximal velocity (Vmax), AP amplitude (APA) and AP overshoot (OS) did not produce significantly different results (P > 0.05, n= 20). The degree of blockade of Ito was concentration-dependent as different concentrations of DHA were applied, and as the concentration of DHA was escalated, the I-V curves went downwards, the stably inactivated curves shifted to the lift, and the time taken for recovery from inactivation prolonged ( P < 0.05, n =20). However, the different concentrations of DHA did not produce different effects on stably activated curves ( P> 0.05). The Itos were blocked to (2.61 ± 0.26)%, (21.79±4.85)%, (63.11 ± 6.57)%, 75.52±7.26 ) %, (81.82 ± 7.63) % and (84.33 ± 8.25) % by the above given concentrations of DHA respectively under given potential equaling to + 70 mV( P < 0.05, n = 20), and the half-effect concentration (EC50) of DHA on Ito was(49.11±2.68) umol/L. Conclusions The effects of DHA on APD and Ito may be one of the anti-arrhythmia mechanism of DHA.

Objective To investigate the effects of different acupuncture therapies on serum branched-chain amino acids (BAC and free tryptophan (F-Trp) in high-intensity military training soldiers. Methods Ninety healthy soldiers were randomly allocated to groups A, B and C, 30 soldiers each. Group A received treatment with electroacupuncture at Zusanli; group B, treatment by cupping on Zusanli;group C, no treatment. The three groups did a high-intensity 5 km running exercise after two weeks of treatment. Serum BACC and F-Trp contents were measured in the three groups before and at the end of treatment and at five days after treatment. Results It can be seen from table 2 that there were no statistically significant pre-treatment differences in serum BACC and F-Trp contents between the three groups of soldier subjects (P>0.05); there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in serum BACC and F-Trp contents in the three groups of soldier subjects (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in serum BACC content between group A or B and group C (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in serum F-Trp content between group A or B and group C at the end of treatment and at five days after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture therapy can effectively improve bodily anti-fatigue ability and reduce high-intensity exercise induced muscular injury in military training soldiers.

OBJECTlVE To study the effect of ganoderma poIysaccharide( GLP)on zebrafish ( Danio rerio)survivaI,deveIopment and senescence. METHODS A p53-knockout zebrafish modeI was estabIished by injecting of morphoIino phosphorodiamidate(mO)into normaI zebrafish eggs in the singIe ceII deveIopment stage. Different concentrations of GLP 1,2 and 3 g·L-1 were used to treat both wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos 8 h post fertiIization(8 hpf)under 28℃ for 3 d. The survivaI and maIformation rates were caIcuIated after 72 hpf,and the effect of GLP on ceII senescence was evaI-uated by senescence associated β-gaIactosidase(SA-β-gaI)staining both in wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. In addition,the differentiaI gene expression of cancer inhibitor gene(p53),teIomer-ase reverse transcriptase( TERT),murine doubIe minute2( mdm2)and p21 was examined by RT-PCR both in wiId type and p53-knockout zebrafish embryos after treatment with different concentrations of GLP. RESULTS GLP 1 and 2 g·L-1 had no effect on deveIopment of wiId type zebrafish embryos,but after GLP 3 g·L-1 treatment,most of zebrafish embryos dispIayed maIformation and the survivaI rate was onIy 48.6%. GLP 1,2 and 3 g·L-1 had no effect on survivaI and deveIopment of p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. After GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment for 3 d,the SA-β-gaI staining positive rate of wiId type zebrafish embryos was reduced compared with controI group(P﹤0.01),whiIe there was no significant change in p53-knockout zebrafish embryos. The resuIts of RT-PCR showed that GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment depressed p21 and p53 gene expression(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01),and had no effect on mdm2 and TERTgene expres-sion of wiId type zebrafish embryos. For p53-knockout zebrafish embryos,the TERT,mdm2,p21 and p53 gene expression dispIayed no significant difference after GLP 2 g·L-1 treatment. CONCLUSlON GLP 2 g·L-1 may improve senescence of wiId type zebrafish embryo ceIIs. GLP ≥3 g·L-1 may Iead to death and abnormaI deveIopment of wiId type zebrafish embryos. The improvement of GLP on senescence of wiId type zebrafish embryo ceIIs might be mediated by its down-reguIation of p21 and p53 gene expression.
