Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the application and clinical value of ultra-fine nasal endos-copy in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract stenosis. Methods A retrospectively investigation of 160 cases of nasogastricos-copy in esophageal,gastroduodenal and colorectal stenosis lesions,the detection rate of lesions under the stenosis and endoscopic treat-ment were analyzed from January 1,2016 to December 31,2017. Results In 102 cases of diagnostic examination,the passing rates of nasogastricoscopy in esophageal,gastroduodenum and colorectal stenosis were 76. 92% ,50. 00% and 88. 00% ,respectively. In the ca-ses which the endoscope could successfully pass the stenotic lesions, the detection rates of new lesions below the stenosis were 8. 89% ,0 and 27. 78% ,respectively,in esophageal,gastroduodenum and colorectal stenosis. A total of 58 cases of digestive tract ste-nosis were treated with endoscopic gastroscopy. Among them,46 cases had stenosis and the pass rate was 79. 31% . Conclusion Ultra-fine nasal endoscopy can significantly improve the completeness and accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis in patients with digestive tract stenosis that cannot be passed by standard gastrointestinal endoscopy. It can also be used for endoscopic treatment of digestive tract stenosis.
Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (Pir-B) was an inhibitory receptor expressed on the surfaces of dendritic cells (DCs). Pir-B inhibit T helper (Th) 1 response and induce Th2 cell differentiation, leading to the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cells. However, the role and potential mechanism of Pir-B on the balance of Th17/regulatory T cells (Tregs) is still largely unknown in lung cancer murine model. In the present study, the DC function and Th17/Treg balance were destroyed during the progression of lung cancer and this was accompanied by an increased expression of Pir-B. After transfection with Pir-B siRNA or administration of IL-6 in vitro, the decreased response of Th17 cells were restored, whereas the augmented differentiation of Tregs was diminished. Further, the transfer of Pir-B silenced DCs or the injection of IL-6 in vivo increased Th17 response and decreased Treg differentiation. Our study has demonstrated that Pir-B inhibits the DC function and disturbs the Th17/Treg balance via IL-6 pathway during the progression of lung cancer, contributing to inhibited antitumor immunity.
An imbalance in the various T lymphocytes, including T-helper (Th)1, Th2 and Th17 cells, and regulatory T (Treg) cells, has been associated with immune dysfunction, and may occur following thoracotomy of patients with lung cancer. The use of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) has previously been demonstrated to exert immunoregulatory effects; therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate whether TAES was able to attenuate postoperative immune suppression in patients with lung cancer. Thoracic surgical patients with lung cancer (n=27) underwent TAES (frequency, 2/100 Hz; intensity, 4-12 mA) at the bilateral large intestine 4, pericardium 6, small intestine 3 and San Jiao 6 acupuncture points for 30 min, prior to incision, and at 20, 44, 68, 92 and 116 h following thoracotomy. The number of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells, and the protein and mRNA expression levels of related cytokines were measured by flow cytometry, ELISA and polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The balance of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer was disrupted following thoracotomy. TAES administration increased the percentage of Th1 and Th17 cells, the protein expression levels of interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon-γ, the mRNA expression levels of T-bet and RAR-related orphan receptor-γt, and decreased the percentage of Th2 cells, IL-10 protein expression levels, and GATA binding protein 3 mRNA expression levels. The results of the present study demonstrated that TAES was able to partially attenuate the postoperative immune depression of patients with lung cancer, by regulating the balance of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells, and the expression levels of related cytokines and transcription factors; therefore, TAES may be considered to be a promising strategy for treating postoperative immune dysfunction in patients with lung cancer.
Background: The accumulation of cytokines in the plasma after trauma can induce myocyte apoptosis. We aimed to identify which cytokine(s) present in the plasma responsible for myocyte apoptosis, and delineated the signal transduction mechanism in rats subjected to surgical trauma. Methods: Rats were randomized into two groups: control and trauma groups, which was divided into five subgroups: posttraumatic 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h subgroups. Cardiomyocytes isolated from traumatized rats were incubated with one of the factors for 12 h (normal plasma; Cytomix; TNF-α; IL-1β; IFN-γ; trauma plasma; anti-TNF-α antibody; SB203580). Myocyte apoptosis, cytokine levels, and MAPKs activation, as the primary experimental outcomes, were measured by TUNEL, flow cytometry, ELISA and Western blot, respectively. Results: Myocyte apoptosis was induced by surgical trauma during the early stage after trauma. Accompanying this change, plasma TNF-α, IL-1β, and IFN-γ levels were elevated in traumatized rats. Incubation of traumatized cardiomyocytes with cytomix or TNF-α alone induced myocyte apoptosis, and increased the activation of p38 and ERK1/2. Myocyte apoptosis and p38 activation were elevated in traumatized cardiomyocytes with trauma plasma, and these increases were partly abolished by anti-TNF-α antibody or SB203580. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that there exists the TNF-α-mediated-p38-dependent signaling pathway that contributed to posttraumatic myocyte apoptosis of rats undergoing surgical trauma.
Surgical trauma leads to a severe deterioration of the immune system. Electroacupuncture (EA) may improve the immunodeficiency that occurs following surgery; however, the underlying signaling mechanisms require further study. In the present study, 40 rats were equally randomized into four groups: Control; Control + EA; Trauma; Trauma + EA. EA was applied at the 'Zusanli' (ST36) and 'Lanwei' (Extra37) acupoints, immediately following surgery. The splenic T cells were isolated from the rats 24 h after surgery. The apoptotic rate of the lymphocytes was measured by flow cytometric analysis, and western blotting was used to determine the protein expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1). The DNA binding activity of nuclear factor (NF)-κB was determined using Trans-AM® ELISA-based kits. The results of the present study showed that surgical trauma induced apoptosis of splenic lymphocytes, and significantly increased the protein expression levels of caspase-3 and caspase-8. This was accompanied by increased expression levels of TNF-α and TNFR1, and a marked reduction in the activity of NF-κB in splenic T cells. Administration of EA significantly decreased the expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, TNF-α and TNFR1, elevated the activity of NF-κB, and suppressed the apoptotic rate of the lymphocytes. The data suggests that EA may inhibit the apoptosis of splenic lymphocytes induced by surgical trauma, and ameliorate the postoperative immunosuppression. This may be mediated by the downregulation of TNF-α expression levels and upregulation of the activity of NF-κB.

A novel multifunctional theranostic agent has been successfully fabricated by loading iron oxide nanoparticles into poly(lactic acid) (PLA) microcapsules followed by surface functionalization with graphene oxide. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments proved that the resulting microcapsules could serve as contrast agents to simultaneously enhance ultrasound, magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging. The composite microcapsules show good biocompatibility and rapid response to magnetic fields. Due to the strong absorption of the near-infrared light, the composite microcapsules could efficiently kill cancer cells upon NIR laser irradiation. In addition, it was found that such a photothermal effect could be obviously enhanced by applying an external magnetic field. In a nutshell, this multifunctional microcapsule can be developed as a promising platform that integrates multimodality imaging and therapy capabilities for effective cancer theranostics.
