Apoptotic index was detected by TdT mediated deoxyuridylic acid(dUMP)nicking end labeling (TUNEL method) in both groups.Results:①In the group of 47 cases of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma,there were 17 cases of positive expression in P27 Kip1 ,and the positive rate was 36.17% , average proliferation index(PI) was 45.86?19.11%,average apoptotic index is 1.05%?0.59%,ratio of PI/AI is 57.37? 45.17 ,all of which were statistically significant for difference between normal tissue and carcinoma in esophagus squamous cell (P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between tongue body MRI measurements and the lingual region obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, OSAHS), and the relationship of two diagnosis methods in positioning obstructive level, in order to improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of obstructive level in OSAHS patients . METHOD: Fifty-nine patients with OSAHS definited by the AG200 sleep apnea monitoring and obstruction plane positioning system was included. They all underwent tongue MRI scan, after three-dimensional reconstruction, the tongue body length to diameter, relative thickness, basal diameter, wide around central about wide diameter and tongue body volume were measured. The lower blocking (mainly composed of lingual region) constituent ratio P established by AG200 was correlated with tongue parameters measured by MRI. At the same time, To analysis of differences of P in patients with different degree of OSAHS. RESULT: Among these patients with OSAHS in different degree, the coefficient correlation between tongue parameters(tongue length, relative thickness, basal diameter, wide middle diameter, tongue body volume) and lower blocking constitute ratio P werer LP = 0.051,rHP = 0.069, r1 = 0.215, r2 = 0.147, rVP = 0.259, respectively. lower obstruction of form than the differences had statistical significance. The measured tongue parameters and value P(the lower blocking constituent ratio) were negatively correlated, which demonstrated that exclusing of the larynx and hypopharynx airway obstruction, the lower airway obstruction detected by AG200 was related with tongue parameters measured by MRI, and was strongestly related with the tongue body volume. CONCLUSION The volume of tongue and AG had correlation in judgement of lower blocking. In OSAHS patients the lower blocking constituent ratio varies between the defferent severity groups of the disease, the combina tion of the two method can be used to predict the obstructive plane in OSAHS patients with upper airway obstruction, and provide the basis for the individual treatment of patients with OSAHS.

Excessive N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine(NAPQI)formation is a starting event that triggers oxidative stress and subsequent hepatocyte necrosis in acetaminophen(APAP)overdose caused acute liver failure(ALF).S-glutathionylation is a reversible redox post-translational modification and a prospective mechanism of APAP hepatotoxicity.Glutaredoxin-1(Glrx1),a glutathione-specific thioltransferase,is a primary enzyme to catalyze deglutathionylation.The objective of this study was to explored whether and how Glrx1 is associated with the development of ALF induced by APAP.The Glrx1 knockout mice(Glrx1-/-)and liver-specific overexpression of Glrx1(AAV8-Glrx1)mice were produced and underwent APAP-induced ALF.Pirfenidone(PFD),a potential inducer of Glrx1,was administrated preceding APAP to assess its protective effects.Our results revealed that the hepatic total protein S-glutathionylation(PSSG)increased and the Glrx1 level reduced in mice after APAP toxicity.Glrx1-/- mice were more sensitive to APAP overdose,with higher oxidative stress and more toxic metabolites of APAP.This was attributed to Glrx1 deficiency increasing the total hepatic PSSG and the S-glutathionylation of cytochrome p450 3a 11(Cyp3a11),which likely increased the activity of Cyp3a11.Conversely,AAV8-Glrx1 mice were defended against liver damage caused by APAP overdose by inhibiting the S-glutathionylation and activity of Cyp3a11,which reduced the toxic metabolites of APAP and oxidative stress.PFD precede administration upregulated Glrx1 expression and alleviated APAP-induced ALF by decreasing oxidative stress.We have identified the function of Glrx1 mediated PSSG in liver injury caused by APAP overdose.Increasing Glrx1 expression may be investigated for the medical treatment of APAP-caused hepatic injury.
