Objective To investigate the expression of NKG2D peripheral blood of patients with esophageal carcinoma and expression of the soluble form of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ-related chain A (MICA). To analyze and discuss the function of NKG2D in anti-esophageal carcinoma mechanism and its relation with escape of immunosurveillance of cancer. Methods Flow cytometry analysis was used to detect NKG2D in the peripheral blood of 50 patients with esophageal carcinoma and 25 normal control individuals. Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay was used to measure serum levels of soluble MICA. Results The expression of NKG2D were(87.25±3.06), (88.38±4.24), (92.46±1.46) respectively. Compared with the normal control individual, the expression of NKG2D in esophageal carcinoma group was significantly low; Among patients categorized according to most disease parameters tested (tumor size, grade of differentiation, regional lymph node status, disease stage), soluble MICA levels in sera did not statistically differ from those in normal control individuals. Patients with stage Ⅳ disease and/or regional lymph node metastasis, exhibited significantly higher serum levels of soluble MICA than control individuals. Conclusion The activity of NK cell and the anti-cancer cellular immunity level reduce in patients with esophageal carcinoma. The decrease of the receptor NKG2D is a reason for the descend of the the activity of NK cells. The escape of immunosurveiilance with esophagal carcinoma may correlate with down-regulate of NKG2D expression and up-regulate of sMICA.

However, being confined by the knowledge and cultivation means, the field on mangrove symbiotic microorganisms was on starting. In this paper, the progresses on symbiotic microorganisms of mangrove were reviewed, which hint the essentiality and trends of that field.

Atropa belladonna L. is the officially medicinal plant species and the main commercial source of scopolamine and hyoscyamine in China. In this study, we reported the simultaneous overexpression of two functional genes involved in biosynthesis of scopolamine, which respectively encoded the upstream key enzyme putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT; EC 2.1.1.53) and the downstream key enzyme hyoscyamine 6beta-hydroxylase (H6H; EC 1.14.11.11) in transgenic hair root cultures of Atropa belladonna L. HPLC results suggested that four transgenic hair root lines produced higher content of scopolamine at different levels compared with nontransgenic hair root cultures. And scopolamine content increased to 8.2 fold in transgenic line PH2 compared with that of control line; and the other four transgenic lines showed an increase of scopolamine compared with the control. Two of the transgenic hair root lines produced higher levels of tropane alkaloids, and the content increased to 2.7 fold in transgenic line PH2 compared with the control. The gene expression profile indicated that both PMT and H6H expressed at a different levels in different transgenic hair root lines, which would be helpful for biosynthesis of scopolamine. Our studies suggested that overexpression of A. belladonna endogenous genes PMT and H6H could enhance tropane alkaloid biosynthesis.

Objective To investigate whether there existed a healthy obese subtype.Methods A total of 116 healthy subjects were recruited.They were divided into 3 groups according to BMI and metabolic disorders:40 cases of normal weight and metabolic normality (NMN),36 cases of obesity and metabolic normality (OMN) and 40 cases of obesity and metabolic abnormality (OMA).Anthropometic parameters as height,weight,waist circumference,hip circumference and blood pressure was recorded.Blood glucose,lipids,insulin,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was detected.Body fat distribution was detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Serum von Willebrand factor (vWF),a marker of endothelial dysfunction,were detected by ELISA.Results Both serum vWF levels in OMN group [(733.6±86.2)U/L] and OMA group[(809.2 ±46.3)U/L] are higher than that in NMN group [(466.9 ±65.3)U/L,P <0.05] with serum vWF level in OMA group is higher than in OMN group (P < 0.05).Among android fat mass percentage (AFM%),BMI,waist height ratio,waist circumference,hs-CRP,weight,hip circumference and trunk fat mass,AFM%,BMI and hs-CRP are main influencing factors of vWF.Conclusions Endothelial dysfunction existed in obese adults regardless of their metabolic status.There is no healthy obese subtype.AFM%,BMI and hs-CRP are the main influencing factors of endothelial dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the effect of remimazolam on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring(IONM)in spinal surgery.Methods Sixty patients undergoing elective spinal surgery for IONM were selected strictly according to the criteria,33 males and 27 females,aged 18-55 years,BMI 18-24 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ.The patients were randomly divided into two groups:remimazolam group(group R)and propofol group(group P),30 patients in each group.Remimazolam was used in group R and propofol was used in group P during induction and maintenance of anesthesia.HR,MAP,and BIS values were recorded when patients entered the room(T0),immediately after endotracheal intubation(T1),at the time of muscle relaxant withdrawal(T2),30 minutes after muscle relaxant withdrawal(T3),and 50 minutes after muscle relaxant withdrawal(T4).The current intensity and amplitude of the first motor evoked potential(MEP)were recorded.The waiting time from drug withdrawal to the first induced MEP was recorded.The amplitude and latency of somatosensory evoked potential(SEP)and MEP at T4 were recorded.Operation time,anesthesia time,intraoperative remifentanil dosage,the use of vasoactive drugs,recovery time,extubation time,and adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group P,HR and MAP were significantly increased at T1-T4(P<0.05),the amplitude of MEP induced for the first time were significantly increased(P<0.05),the amplitudes of SEP and MEP at T4 were significantly in-creased and the latency period was significantly shortened(P<0.05),the dosage of remifentanil was sig-nificantly decreased(P<0.05),the number of bradycardia or hypotension were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the recovery time and extubation time were significantly shortened in group R(P<0.05).Conclusion Remimazolam can be safely used in spinal surgery requiring IONM,with small circu-lation fluctuation,quick recovery,less postoperative adverse reactions,little effect on SEP and MEP,which is conducive to improving the quality of IONM.

Objective:
Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) provides a lot of evidence for local abnormal brain activity in schizophrenia, but the results are not consistent. Our aim is to find out the consistent abnormal brain regions of the patients with schizophrenia by using regional homogeneity (ReHo), and indirectly understand the degree of brain damage of the patients with drug-naive first episode schizophrenia (Dn-FES) and chronic schizophrenia.
Methods:
We performed the experiment by activation likelihood estimation (ALE) software to analysis the differences between people with schizophrenia group (all schizophrenia group and chronic schizophrenia group) and healthy controls.
Results:
Thirteen functional imaging studies were included in quantitative meta-analysis. All schizophrenia group showed decreased ReHo in bilateral precentral gyrus (PreCG) and left middle occipital gyrus (MOG), and increased ReHo in bilateral superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and right insula. Chronic schizophrenia group showed decreased ReHo in bilateral MOG, right fusiform gyrus, left PreCG, left cerebellum, right precuneus, left medial frontal gyrus and left anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). No significant increased brain areas were found in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that patients with chronic schizophrenia have more extensive brain damage than FES, which may contribute to our understanding of the progressive pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
