OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of zonula occluden-1(ZO-1) in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(HSCC) and its clinical significance.METHODS Immunohistochemistry with tissue microarrays was used to detect the expression of the ZO-1 protein in 52 cases of HSCC.The correlation of prognosis and clinicopathological features was analyzed.RESULTS The expression of ZO-1 protein in HSCC was lower than that in adjacent tissues,its expression was closely related with tumor differentiation,tumor stage,tumor location and lymphatic metastasis.The Log-rank univariate analysis showed that the prognosis of HSCC was related to tumor differentiation,tumor stage,lymphatic metastasis and tumor location.The patients with lower expression of ZO-1 showed the worse prognosis than patients with higher expression of ZO-1.As shown in the Cox regression analyses,tumor differentiation,lymphatic metastasis,the ZO-1 expression and tumor stage were all independent prognostic factors.CONCLUSION The ZO-1 can serve as an independent prognostic factor of HSCC,and the low expression of ZO-1 is closely related to poor prognosis.
Résumé
AIM To study the activation of choline on M3-R in heart and observe the hemodynamic changes of rat and rabbit. METHODS A cardiac catheter was inserted into the left ventricular cavity via the right carotid artery, then the HR, LVSP, LVEDP, and ±dp/dt were measured using a polygraph system. RESULTS Choline was shown to decrease the hemodynamic assessments, such as HR, +dp/dt, LVSP and LVEDP. while the M3-R antagonist 4-DAMP (4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine-methiodide) showed little effect on these assessments. It was found to reverse the hemodynamic effects of choline. CONCLUSION M3 receptor agonist can produce negative inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart of rat and rabbit.
