Researches find that microRNAs(miRNAs) participate in cell proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.Dysregulation of miRNA exist in almost all kinds of tumors,including esophageal cancer.MiRNAs bind to mRNA of oncogene or tumor suppressor gene by perfectly or partly base-pair complementarity,and then,promote mRNA degradation or inhibit translation of target mRNA.Recently studies have comfirmed that miRNA functions as a significant regulator in esophageal cancer and it is involved in tumorigenesis,development and prognosis.MiR-21 binds to programmed cell death 4(PDCD4) mRNA and inhibits the translation of PDCD4,then promotes tumorigenesis of esophageal cancer.MiR-106-25 polycistron is activated by genomic amplification,and then suppresses the expressions of P21 and Rim,and subsequently promotes the occurrence and progress of esophageal cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1/immunoglobulin A (EBNA1/IgA), BamH1 Z transactivator/IgA (Zta/IgA), capsid antigen/IgA (VCA/IgA), and Epstein-Barr virus deoxyribonucleic acid (EBV-DNA) in detecting different stages of na-sopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The relationship between the EBV markers and stages of NPC was also analyzed. Methods:Blood sam-ples of 152 untreated patients with NPC and 675 healthy subjects were collected.ELISA was used to detect the serum levels of EBNA1/IgA, Zta/IgA, and VCA/IgA. Fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) was used to detect the plasma levels of EBV-DNA. ROC and correla-tion analyses were employed to assess the detection assays for NPC diagnosis. The positive rates of EBV markers in NPC patients in dif-ferent stages were analyzed statistically. Results: The positive rates of EBNA1/IgA, Zta/IgA, VCA/IgA, and EBV-DNA in NPC patients were higher than those in the healthy individuals. The expression of EBNA1/IgA was relatively high in early NPC. The sensitivity of EB-NA1/IgA was 77.8%. In advanced NPC, the level of EBV-DNA was high, and the sensitivity of EBV-DNA was 88.8%. The specificity of EBV-DNA and EBNA1/IgA could reach more than 96%. The combination of EBV-DNA and EBNA1/IgA showed the best diagnostic value, with a sensitivity of 92.1%(early stage 82.5%, advanced stage 98.9%) and a specificity of 96.9%. The positive rates of EBV-DNA were positively associated with the NPC clinic stage and N stage. The positives rates of Zta/IgA were positively associated with the NPC N stage. Conclusion:The best single index for NPC screening in an asymptomatic population is EBNA1/IgA. EBV–DNA is an ideal index for auxiliary diagnostics of advanced NPC. The combination of EBV-DNA and EBNA1/IgA shows the best diagnostic value. EBV-DNA is an important index in the stage and illness monitoring of NPC. Zta/IgA can indirectly reflect the character of lymph node metastasis, and it may be useful in assessment of NPC surveillance.

Objective: To study antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) on hepatocytes during immune response in halothane hepatitis of guinea pigs. Methods: The model of halothane hepatitis of guinea pigs was used. Mixed lymphocyte hepatocytes were cultured and supernatants containing specific antigens and cytokines were added. The changes of hepatic function in immune response of halothane hepatitis were analyzed. Results: The cytotoxicity on hepatocytes induced by halothane 3 times included ADCC mediated by specific antigens. ADCC on hepatocytes induced by halothane once required the second induction. There was no cytotoxicity on hepatocytes of specific antigens and cytokines produced by proliferative lymphocytes induced by Kupffer cells. Conclusion: Humoral immunity is mainly ADCC. Specific antibodies and cytokines can not separately kill hepatocytes. The extent of immune response is related to induction by halothane.

Objective To observe the brain abnormalities of the white matter and myelination in patients with BH4 deficiency using MRI examination, and to further estimate the effect of treatment. Methods Eleven patients with BH4 deficiency aged 17 weeks to 4 years were observed, including 9 cases who were detected by newborn screening program. Although those patients were treated with low phenylalanine diet, and the blood phenylalanine 1evels maintained to 120-240 ?mol/L, the patients presented progressive hypotonia, convulsion, and mental retardation. All cases were diagnosed as BH4 deficiency by analysis of urinary pterins profile, BH4 loading test, and determination of dihydropteridine reductase in RBC. The patients received MRI examination using a 0.5 T MR system. Results Delayed myelination was found in 11 cases (100%) in frontal lobe, 8 cases (72.2%) in occipital lobe, 4 cases (36.3%) in temporal lobe, and 3 cases (27.3%) in parietal lobe. Delayed myelination of corpus callosum could be found in 6 cases (54.5%). There were abnormal diffuse high signals in the white matter on T_2WI in all cases. Conclusion Patients with BH4 deficiency demonstrate a high occurrence of brain abnormalities in the white matter. Those abnormalities are related not only with hyperphenylalaninemia, but also due to the decreased synthesis of neurotransmitters, such as L-Dopa and 5-HTP, all of these could be the reasons of adverse effect of the development of white matter.
