Objective To determine the effects of different anesthetic techniques on T-lymphocyte subsets in patients with esophageal carcinoma. Methods Forty patients were randomly assigned into general anesthesia group (group Ⅰ),or combined generae anesthesia with epidural anesthesia group(group Ⅱ). Peripheral blood CD3, CD4,CD8 were measured before induction ( T1 ), after anesthesia ( T2 ), end of operation ( T3 ), 1d ( T4 ), 3d ( T5 ) after surgery. Resolts CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8 decreased at T2 in the two groups. In group Ⅱ ,CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8 ratio almost returned to the baseline values at T4 ,while group Ⅰ did not. Conclusion Epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia can reduce depression of T-lymphocyte subsets induced by surgical trauma and anesthesia, and is the anesthetic tecnique of choice for cancer patients undergoing major operation.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of silymarin on bronchiolitis caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in mice.Methods:A mouse model of bronchiolitis was established by intranasal instillation of RSV. After successful modeling, the mice were randomly divided into a model group, a positive control group (ribavirin, 10 mg/kg), a low-dose silymarin group (25 mg/kg), a medium-dose silymarin group (50 mg/kg), and a high-dose silymarin group (100 mg/kg). In addition, a control group was established, with 12 mice in each group. The pulmonary index and RSV virus load were determined in each group of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the lungs. The levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), IL-17, and IL-10 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of helper T cells 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor κB subunit p65 (NF-κB p65), and phosphorylated nuclear protein p-NF-κB p65 in lung tissue.Results:Compared with the model group, the pulmonary injury and inflammatory response were significantly improved in the medium-and high-dose silymarin groups. The pulmonary indexes were (1.27±0.17)% and (0.94±0.10)%, respectively, and the RSV virus loads were (2.65±0.19) and (2.13±0.14), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the model group (all P<0.05). The proportion of Th17 cells in peripheral blood was (4.47±0.19)% and (3.52±0.13)%, respectively, which was significantly lower than that in the model group (all P<0.05), while the proportion of Treg cells in peripheral blood was (0.88±0.08)% and (1.33±0.12)%, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in the model group (all P<0.05). The expression levels of IL-4 and IL-17 in BALF and the protein expression levels of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway related proteins in lung tissue were significantly lower than those in the model group (all P<0.05), while the expression levels of IFN-γ, TGF-β, and IL-10 in BALF were significantly higher than those in the model group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Silymarin can regulate immune function and inhibit inflammatory response, thereby improving airway inflammation in bronchiolitis mice. The mechanism may be related to inhibit activation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the expression of Member RAS Oncogene Family(RAB10)in pancreatic cancer(PAAD)and its effects on the proliferation,migration,invasion and apoptosis of SW1990 cells(human pancreatic cancer cells).Methods The expression of RAB1 0 mRNA in PAAD tissues wasanalyzed by the cancer gene database GEPIA(Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis)and TCGA(The Cancer Genome Atlas).Cox regression analysis was used to detect relationship between RAB10 mRNA expression and the prognosis of pan-creatic cancer patients.We targeted small interfering RNA(R4B10-siRNA)targeting RAB10 as the silence group,and constructed an overexpression plasmid(RAB10-OE)for overexpression of RAB10 as the overexpression group.The effects of silencing and overexpressionweredetected by Q-PCR;protein expression levelsweredetected by West-ern blot.EdUcellproliferation test,wound healing test,Transwelltestand flow cytometry test were used to determine the effects of RAB10 on the proliferation,migration,invasion and apoptosis of SW1990 pancreatic cancer cells.Re-sults RAB10 mRNA expression in PAAD tissues was higher than that innormal pancreatic tissues(P＜0.05).The results of EdUcellproliferation testshowed that the proliferation rate of SW1990 cells in the RAB10-OE group was higher thanthat in the control group,and the proliferation rate of SW1990 cells in the RAB10-siRNA group was lower than that inthe control group(P＜0.05).The results of the Transwell test and wound healing test showed that the invasion rate and mobility rate of RAB10-OE group were higher thanthose of the control group,and the mobility and invasion rate of RAB10-siRNA group were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The re-sults of flow cytometry test showed that the apoptosis rate was lower in the RAB10-OE group than the control group,and the apoptosis rate in the RAB10-siRNA group was higher than the control group(P＜0.05).The median sur-vival time of RAB10 high expression group was significantly lower than that of RAB10 low expression group(P＜0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that clinical grade,T stage,M stage and RAB10 mRNA expression were re-lated to survival and prognosis of pancreatic cancerpatients(P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the expression level of RAB10 mRNA was the independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of pancre-atic cancer patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion RAB10 is highly expressed in PAAD tissues and RAB10 can pro-mote the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells,accelerate the ability to invade and migrate,and inhibit the apop-tosis of pancreatic cancer cells.RAB10 is an independent risk factor for survival prognosis in patients with pancreat-ic cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the hematological phenotypes of Hb J-Bangkok and concomitant thalassemia. METHODS: In total 72 397 samples were screened by using capillary electrophoresis. Samples with Hb J-Bangkok were identified by DNA sequencing and analysis of red blood cell parameters. Gap-PCR and PCR-reverse dot blotting (PCR-RDB) were used for analyzing the thalassemia genes. RESULTS: Thirty one cases of Hb J-Bangkok were identified, all of which were heterozygotes. The hematological phenotype index (Hb, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, Hb J-Bangkok, Hb A CONCLUSION Hb J-Bangkok heterozygotes have normal hematological phenotypes, though they may show different hematological characteristics when concomitant with different types of thalassemia, for which genetic counseling should be provided accordingly.
