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 investigate the regulatory mechanism of LBP on T lymphocytes excessive apoptosis and the mRNA expression of apoptotic genes in aged rats Methods:T lymphocyte apoptosis and the expression of pre apoptotic and anti apoptotic genes (Fas, FasL, TNFR1, Bax, Bcl2 and TNFR2) from young rats and old rats treated with or without LBP were studied using flow cytometry and fluorescence real time quantitative RT PCR Results:LBP could effectively downregulate the percentage of T cell apoptosis in aged rats At the same time LBP also downregulated the transcription level of TNFR1 gene and upregulated the transcription level of Bcl 2 in T cells from old rats Conclusion:The T cell excessive apoptosis in old rats could be effectively downregulated with LBP, by the by of decreasing the expression of pro apoptotic gene and enhancing the expression of anti apoptotic gene

Objective To summarize our experience in the diagnosis and management of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). Methods This is a retrospective study on 10 patients (13 limbs)who were admitted for symptoms of claudication and the diagnosis of popliteal entrapment was established either with angiography,computed tomographic angiography,magnetic resonance angiogram or during the operation in recent 7 years (2002-2009).All patients were treated surgically. Results The mean age at the time of presentation was (25 ±7) years old (range,17-41 years).Claudication was the most frequent presenting symptom (12 limbs).The surgical procedures consisted of simple musculotendinous dissociation in 1 limb,thrombectomy with balloon angioplasty in 1 limb,musculotendinous dissociation plus thromboendarterectomy with autogenous saphenous vein (ASV)patch angioplasty in 2 limbs,ASV graft interposition or bypass in 6 limbs and graft interposition or bypass in 3 limbs.At a median follow-up of (35 ±27) months (range,2 months-7 years),there were no intraoperative or long-term postoperative complications and all the patients were cured. Conclusions PAES is an unusual but important cause of peripheral vascular insufficiency especially in young patients.A combined approach is necessary for diagnosis.Popliteal artery release alone or with vein bypass or reconstruction is the treatment of choice.

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 analyze the incidence of remaining symptoms after discectomy with different operation,and investigate its causes and clinical significance.Methods Two hundred and twentyfour patients were followed up.The incidence of remaining symptoms and clinicai situation after discectomy were observed with different operation:discectomy (110 patients,single group),discectomy with bone grafting internal fixation (70 patients,fusion group),and discectomy with dynamic fixation (44 patients,non-fusion group).The SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results One hundred and sixpatients (47.32%,106/224) occurred remaining symptoms in 224 patients.In single group was 69 patients (62.73%,69/110),in fusion group was 26 patients (37.14%,26/70),and in non-fusion group was 11 patients (25.00%,11/44).The incidence of remaining symptoms among three groups was significant difference(x2 =22.177,P =0.000).The incidence of remaining symptoms in single group was significantly higher than that in non-fusion group and fusion group (x2 =17.921,P =0.000;x2 =11.235,P =0.001).The incidence of remaining symptoms in non-fusion group and fusion group had no significant difference (x2 =1.817,P =0.178).Conclusions There is significantly different in the incidence of lumbar disc herniation with different surgery methods.Discectomy with bone grafting internal fixation and with dynamic fixation can effectively reduce the incidence of remaining symptoms.
