The molecular mechanism to induce apoptosis in human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells was investigated using 2',4'-Dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3',5'-dimethylchalcone (DMC) isolated from the buds of Cleistocalyx operculatus. Typical morphological changes in apoptotic body formation after DMC treatment were observed using acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) staining. After 48 h of incubation with 0, 6.25, 12.5, and 25 μM of DMC, the percentages of annexin V-FITC-positive/PI negative cells were 1.51, 9.33, 33.84, and 61.32%, respectively. Apoptosis induced by DMC was blocked by z-VAD-fmk, a caspase inhibitor. Analysis of fluorescence intensities of rhodamine 123 in cells showed that DMC induced a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Western blot results showed that DMC decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio,suggesting that the Bcl-2 family is involved in control of apoptosis. All of these signal transduction pathways are involved in initiating apoptosis. DMC is a potential anticancer agent that deserves further exploration.

Objective: To establish the prevalence and distribution profile of esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) over a 22-yr period in North China. Methods: Using endoscopy for primary diagnosis and histological analysis for the further confirmation, a total of 74,854 ESCC patients aged 20-89 between January 1985 and December 2006 were investigated to analyze the epidemiological profile including prevalence rates, distribution of age-of-onset, gender and geographical area of ESCC in Luoyang, the highest incidence area of North China. Results: A total of 4092 cases of ESCC were finally diagnosed among 74,854 patients who had their first endoscopies. The prevalence among males was higher than that among females (p<0.01), resulting in an overall male:female OR of 1.2 (95%CI, 1.2-1.3). The prevalence in rural areas was higher than in urban areas (p<0.01), resulting in an overall rural:urban OR of 2.6 (95%CI, 2.4-2.9). The rural:urban ORs and the 95% CI increased continuously from 2.6, 2.3-3.0 to 2.7, 2.2-3.3, respectively, for 4 consecutive periods during the 22-yr study period. Moreover, the median age of onset among females was higher than that among males (p<0.01). For both sexes and in both areas, the prevalence rates declined and the median age of onset rose for 4 consecutive periods in the 22-yrs time frame (p<0.01). Conculsions: These data reveal the epidemiological profile of ESCC in the area of North China, and suggest that urban areas and rural people account for a growing proportion of the ESCC patients although the prevalence of ESCC significantly declined and the median age-of-onset postponed over the 22-yrs period. Moreover, the prevalence status of ESCC in rural areas also underlines the need for public health initiatives aimed at reducing risk factors of this fatal disease.
