Objective To investigate the effect of high expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 on the tumor cell invasiveness and chemosensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods EC9706 ceils of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were divided into three groups:the blank group was not given any treatment;the experimental group used SHP-1 mimic instantaneous vector to transfect cells for 24 h,and used 10 μmol/L cisplatin to treat EC9706 cells for 12 h;the control group selected 10 μmol/L cisplatin to treat EC9706 cells for 12 h.Cell proliferation was detected by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay,and cell invasion was detected by using Transwell chamber.The expression of SHP-1 mRNA was detected by using fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The expression level of SHP-1 protein was detected by using Western blot.Results The expression of SHP-1 mRNA in the experimental group (3.42t0.14) was higher than that in the control group and the blank group (1.09±0.13,0.42±0.24,F =9.143,P < 0.05).Compared with the control group and the blank group,the cell growth inhibition rate and the apoptosis index in the experimental group were increased (both P < 0.05),and the differences between any two groups were also statistically significant (all P < 0.05).The cell invasion rate in the experimental group,the control group and the blank group was (6.5±1.3) %,(18.5±2.5) % and (45.2±7.2) %,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (F =11.853,P < 0.05).Conclusion High expression of SHP-1 can inhibit the invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,improve chemosensitivity,promote apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation,which could lay a theoretical foundation for improving the efficacy of chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of crocin tablets (CRO) combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin in the prevention of acute cardiotoxicity in the patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and explore the related mechanism. MethodThe patients with DLBCL treated in the Huangshi Central Hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected, and 92 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group at a ratio of 1∶1, with 46 patients in each group. The control group underwent conventional intravenous infusion of doxorubicin, and the observation group received CRO combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin. The changes of abnormal ECG, myocardial injury markers, cardiac function indicators, oxidative stress, inflammatory mediators, and hemorheological indexes before and after chemotherapy were compared between the two groups. ResultThe incidence of abnormal ECG in the observation group was 23.91% (11/46), which was lower than that (54.35%, 25/46) in the control group (χ2=8.944, P<0.01). On day 8 after chemotherapy, the abnormal rates of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (χ2=4.423, 4.857, both P<0.05). Compared with the control group after chemotherapy, the observation group showed lowered level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, elevated left ventricular ejection fraction and levels of total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase (P<0.01), declined levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (P<0.01), and decreased low whole blood viscosity, high whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, and fibrinogen (P<0.01). ConclusionCRO combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin can mitigate acute cardiotoxicity, reduce the incidence of abnormal ECG, protect cardiomyocytes, and improve the cardiac function by exerting the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and improving blood flow.
