Background and purpose:Esophageal cancer is a serious disease threatening human health, and it is very difficult to understand the development mechanism and find the therapeutic methods for esophageal cancer. In recent years, B7-H3, as a new member of B7 immunoregulatory superfamily, overexpressed in multiple tumor types, is considered to be a new tumor marker and potential therapeutic target. This study aimed to detect the expression of B7-H3 in esophageal cancer cell lines TE-1, TE-13, Eca-109 and exploring the effect of B7-H3 siRNA on cell proliferation, migration and invasionin vitro in human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cell line. Methods:The expression of B7-H3 in esophageal cancer cell lines TE-1, TE-13 and Eca-109 were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). B7-H3 siRNA and control siRNA were transfectedin vitro into human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cells using LipofectamineTM 2000. The expressions of B7-H3 mRNA and protein in Eca-109 cells were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blot. The proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of Eca-109 cells were measured by MTT assay, wound scrape assay and transwell invasion assayin vitro,respectively.Results:All tested cultured esophageal cancer cell lines constitutively expressed B7-H3 mRNA under normal conditions (TE-1 0.382±0.008, TE-13 0.399±0.008, Eca-109 0.428±0.012). After transfection, the expression of B7-H3 mRNA levels decreased in B7-H3 siRNA transfected group, compared with control siRNA transfected group (0.128 5±0.000 2vs 0.532 4±0.000 7,P<0.01) and untransfected group (0.128 5±0.000 2vs 0.540 3±0.001 3,P<0.01), while its protein expression levels were also signiifcantly lower than the control transfection group (0.421 4±0.004 8vs 0.500 6±0.012 9,P<0.05) and untransfected group (0.421 4±0.004 8vs 0.492 1±0.014 8, P<0.05). Compared with control transfected and untransfected cells, Eca-109 cell migration and invasion abilities decreased significantly (P<0.05) by siRNA interference, but no significant difference was observed between their proliferative capacity (P>0.05).Conclusion:All tested esophageal cancer cell lines constitutively express B7-H3 mRNA. B7-H3 siRNA interference inhibits Eca-109 cell migration and invasion abilities. B7-H3 may have a critical role in regulating Eca-109 cell progression.

Epidemiological studies indicated that dietary tiber was inversely associated with stroke risk.Epidemiological studies have confirmed that increased dietary fiber intake can reduce the risk of stroke.Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that dietary fiber intake may reduce the incidence of stroke by reducing vascular risk factors,such as hypertension,diabetes,dyslipidemia,and obesity.The direct mechanism of increased dietary fiber intake reducing stroke risk remains to be further studied.Clinicians should pay attention to the important role of dietary fiber,guide the patients with stroke and individuals at risk of stroke to increase consumption of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.

Objective To review the physiological characters and potential function of chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan,CSPG(NG2) glial cells in the central nervous system. Methods In conclusion of the NG2 glial properties and the global, novel researches on NG2 cells. Results Cells that express the NG2 proteoglycan comprise a unique population of glial cells in the central nervous system.Study on their role in the CNS becomes more and more popular.Previous researches mainly focus on the differentiation and distinction.Now the relationship between NG2 glial cells and neurons,and the synaptic plasticity is becoming a hot topic.Conclusion This review referred the research development of NG2 glial cells,including the differentiation,migration,their interaction with neurons,and the potential role in glial cell regeneration in disease systematically.

Objective Study the prevention and early diagnosis of severe complications of thoracoscopy. Methods 400 patients,(18～81)years,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ,underwent thoracoscoy,including 320 pulmonary bubble resections and 80 thorax,mediastinum or lung tumor biopsy or resections.All patients were anesthetized with one-lung ventilation using a double-lumen tube and monitored continuously in circulatory and respiratory functions with a multi-runctional monitor. Results Severe intraoperative complications occurred in 8 patients,including 5 reexpansion pulmonary edema,1 complete occlusion of double-lumen tube due to massive pleural effusion,1 massive bleeding and 1 cardiac arrest due to bilateral pneumothorax.All complications were successfully treated and the patients were cured and discharged. Conclusions Thoracoscopy must be well prepared.Applying one lung anesthesia with double-lumen tube,careful observation during operation,early recognition and treatment of complications may contribute to assuring the safety of this procedure.

Objective To identify the effect of specialized language training on the speech rehabilitation of total laryngectomy (TL)patients.Methods Twenty-seven TL patients were trained for esophageal speech by specialized speech-language pathologists from October 2005 to December 2006.Then the participants were followed and evaluated their esophageal speech level after one cycle of training program,1 month,3 months,6 months and 12 months after training program.Results The score of participants' esophageal speech was steadily improved during the 12 months after participating the training program.The score of esophageal speech greatly increased in the third month,and this significant improvement was kept until 12 months after the training program.The esophageal speech quality was negatively correlated with age and surgery area of patients.Conclusions Specialized speech-language training showed positive effect on esophageal speech rehabilitation,and esophageal speech training by specialists is worthy of wide application.

OBJECTIVETo observe effects of mild moxibustion and lovastatin on immunologic function in rabbits with chronic hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis (AS) to initially explain regulating rules of mild moxibustion on immunologic function.

METHODSAmong thirty-two Japanese male big-ear rabbits, 8 rabbits were randomly selec ted as a blank group, the rest 24 rabbits were fed with method of endothelial injury and high-fat diet to establish AS model. The blank group was raised with normal diet and free water. After ten weeks of model establishment, the rest 24 rabbits were randomly divided into a model group, a moxibustion group and a medicine group, eight rabbits in each one. Moxibustion was applied at "Shenque" (CV 8) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) for 10 min per acupoint per day in the moxibustion group, while intragastric administration of 3.6 mg/kg lovastatin capsule was applied in the medicine group. After treatment, serum was acquired. Spectrophotometry method was adapted to measure cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and evaluated atherosclerosis index (AI), while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to measure interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4).

RESULTS(1) The serum TC and HDL-C in the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank group, moxibustion group and medicine group (all P < 0.01). The mean value of AI was 1.683 +/- 0.486 in the moxibustion group, which was obviously lower than 20.301 +/- 4.022 in the model group (P < 0.01). (2) The ratio of Th1/Th2 was 0.569 +/- 0.143 in the moxibustion group and 0.445 +/- 0.079 in the medicine group, which were significantly lower than 0.917 +/- 0.255 in the model group (both P < 0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference between the moxibustion group and the medicine group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe moxibustion for AS could reduce atherosclerosis index, influence drift and bias of helper T cell and regulate balance between humoral immunity and cellular immunity. As a result, status of relative balance of immunity is acquired, which could slow down the development of atherosclerosis and process of thrombus burst.
