Changes in bladder function with time following cystostomy in rats.

Aims: To investigate bladder function patterns following cystostomy and determine the best time window for cystometric evaluation of bladder function in conscious rats.

Materials And Methods: Cystostomy was performed in rats of the first seven groups; thereafter, cystometry was performed in the designed time interval. Noncystostomy rats of group 8 voided freely as control.

[Effect of PC cell-derived growth factor RNA interference on biological behavior of esophageal squamous carcinoma cells].

Objective: To investigate the effect of PC cell-derived growth factor (PCDGF) RNA interference on esophageal squamous carcinoma cells Eca-109 in vitro.

Methods: The PCDGF-shRNA expression vector was transfected into the Eca-109 cells by liposome. After transfection, the mRNA and protein expressions of PCDGF were detected by RT-PCR and Western-blot respectively.

[Perioperative nutrition support for esophageal cancer complicated with diabetes mellitus].
