2. Site-directed analysis of key transcriptional regulatory regions of ezrin gene in HeLa cells
Tumor 2008;28(2):101-103
Objective: To identify key transcriptional regulatory regions of ezrin gene in HeLa cells, thus this work maked a preliminary study for revealing its transcriptional regulatory mechanism. Methods: The recombinant pGLB plasmids containing different lengths of DNA fragments upstream of translation initiation site of ezrin gene as reporter promoters were constructed using nested-deletion method, and the promoter activities were detected using dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The potential transcription factor binding sites at key transcriptional regulatory region of ezrin gene were predicted using on-line analyzing programme. Results: The recombinant pGLB plasmids containing different lengths of 5′-flanking region of ezrin gene were obtained. When the lengths of ezrin 5′-flanking region were reduced from - 1 324 to - 890, the transcriptional activity decreased by about 80%. If the length of 5′-flanking region were deleted from - 146 to - 32, the transcriptional activities were nearly abolished. Sp 1 transcriptional factor binding sites were ubiquitous at the - 1 324/ - 890 and - 146/ - 32 regions. Conclusion: The - 1 324/ - 890 and - 146/ - 32 regions were two key transcriptional regulatory regions of ezrin gene in HeLa cells. Sp 1 may be an important factor for regulating the transcription of ezrin gene.

Objective To investigate the effects of maternal long-term exposure to low-dose trichlorfon on the serum paraoxonase (PON) activity of pregnant mice and development of embryos. Methods Female ICR mice (n=120) were randomly divided into control group and trichlorfon groups of different doses,and were managed by intragastric injection with trichlorfon of 0,2,10 and 50mg/kg,respectively. All the mice were managed once a day for a consecutive of 27 days,and were subjected to mating. The pregnant mice were continued to be managed with trichlorfon for 3 days,and were sacrificed on day 3 of gestation. The serum PON and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activities were detected,and the development of embryos was evaluated. Results The serum PON activity of 2,10 and 50mg/kg trichlorfon group were (14.15?1.22),(12.78?1.80) and (10.45?1.95)IU/mL,respectively,and that of 50mg/kg trichlorfon group was significantly lower than that of control group [(13.37?2.31)IU/mL] (P0.05),while the the percentage of abnormal embryos of 50mg/kg trichlorfon group had an increased tendency. Conclusion Long-term exposure to low-dose trichlorfon can inhibit serum PON and AchE activity in pregnant mice without obvious effect on the development of embryos.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors related with curative effect and prognosis of postoperative radiotherapy for nasal and paranasal sinuses carcinoma.MethodsThe data of 95 patients with nasal and paranasal sinuses carcinoma and received postoperative radiotherapy were reviewed retrospectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival, Logrank test used to compare the differences between different groups. Multivariate analysis was performed by Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsThe overall 1, 3, 5, 10-year survival rates of 95 patients were 84.2%, 50.5%, 44.2% and 20% respectively. Univariate analysis showed that sex, age, operative modality and tumor dose were not related with survival. Histological and clinical stages were related with survival. Multivariate analysis indicated that histological and clinical stages were independent prognostic factors. The follow-up results showed that visual disturbance, xerostomia, dysaudia were the major side effects.ConclusionPostoperative radiotherapy can improve therapeutic effect in the treatment of nasal and paranasal sinuses carcinoma, and histological and clinical stages are the independent prognostic factors effecting prognosis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEAlthough there are many randomized clinical trials of late course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy (LCAHFR) combined with FP chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, the efficacy and toxicity are controversial. This study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of LCAHFR combined with FP chemotherapy in treating esophageal cancer.
METHODSReports of randomized clinical trials on LCAHFR combined with FP chemotherapy for esophageal cancer published between January 1999 and January 2009 were researched through Wanfang, CNKI, and PubMed databases. RevMan4.2 software was used for Meta-analysis.
RESULTSTwenty-one reports, including 2030 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. Of the 2030 patients, 1006 underwent LCAHFR (LCAHFR group), and 1024 underwent LCAHFR combined with FP chemotherapy (combination group). Compared with those of the LCAHFR group, the 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-years survival rates and 1-, 2-, 3-year local control rates of the combination group were significant increased, and the acute toxicity was also increased, but chronic toxicity showed no significant difference.
CONCLUSIONSLCAHFR combined with FP chemotherapy can improve the survival rate and the local control rate of the patients with esophageal cancer. The increased acute toxicity need to be concerned, whereas the chronic toxicity needs a long-term observation.

Background The diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is mainly dependent onfluorescine fundus angiography (FFA). However, the combination of optical coherence topography (OCT) with FFA offers a new approach to the research of the pathogenesis of CSC. Objective This clinical study was designed to study the combined application of the FFA and OCT for the research of the pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods Forty-four eyes of 44 patients with CSC were included in this study with 36 cases of males and 8 cases of female. The patients were aged 39.3 ± 5.3 years and the visual acuity was 0. 64 ±0. 27. FFA and OCT examinations were performed in all patients and the FFA images were imported into the Topcon 3D OCT 1000 device to locate the conformity of OCT lesions with the leakages of FFA. The neuroepithelial layer thickness at the fovea and the height of the neuroepithelial layer detachment were measured using 3-D OCT. Results OCT showed serous REP detachment in 34 eyes (77.3%) and rough surfaces of RPE in 10 eyes (22. 7% ). In thirtyfour eyes with RPE detachment, the OCT lesions and FFA leakage spots conformed to the same locations in 31 eyes, but the other three eyes did not. The mean foveal neuroepithelial thickness was (138.5±19.4) μm in CSC eyes and that of normal eyes was ( 131.35±5. 01 ) μm ,showing a significant difference between them( t=0. 39 ,P>0. 05 ). The mean height of neuroepithelial detachment was (263.3 ± 126.7 ) μm in CSC eyes. Conclusion RPE detachment occurs in CSC eyes and further induces macular neuroepithelial detachment. Leakage lesion of fluorescine corresponds to RPE detachment. CSC without RPE detachment may be related to the increase in RPE permeability. OCT can accurately measure the thickness of the macular neuroepithelial layer and the height of the neuroepithelial detachment.
