Objective:To evaluate the effect of NF-? B inhibitor-PDTC on TNF-? induced cytotoxicity in breast cancer cells.Methods:The cell survivals of breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-435s were measured by MTT assay in vitro.MDA-MB-435s cells were implanted into BALB/C mice. Animal tumor models were treated with TNF-?, PDTC and TNF-? plus PDTC.Results:The growth of two breast cancer cell lines was not inhibited by either TNF-?(2000U/mi or less)or PDTC.However,both breast cancer cells treated with TNF-?(2000U/mi)plus PDTC(50? mol)showed significant growth inhibition as compared with controls. In vivo, the growth of implanted tumor was significantly reduced in volume in mice treated with TNF-?(7.5?10 6U/kg,ip,bid) plus PDTC(50mg/kg,ip,bid) as compared with controls( P

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of opioids analgesics. METHODS:1 882 prescriptions of opi-oids analgesics for cancer pain collected from our hospital in 2014 were analyzed by defined daily dose(DDD)and drug utilization index(DUI). RESULTS:The diseases of opioids analgesics prescriptions for cancer pain in our hospital in 2014 were mainly lung cancer,accounting for 42.19%. Commonly used opioids analgesics included Morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets,Oxycodone Hydrochloride sustained-release tablets and so on,and their DUI were all below 1.0. Top one drug in the list of amount and con-sumption sum was Morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets,and its main dosage form were tablets,injection and patches,in which tablets occupied the largest proportion,reaching 97.30%. CONCLUSIONS:The application of opioids analgesics for cancer pain in our hospital is basically rational in terms of drug types,dosage form and route of administration,but the dose of opioids an-algesics is small and their DUI is lower than 1;at the same time,there are a few irrational prescription.

G protein-coupled receptor 30(GPR30) was a novel estrogen receptor identified as membrane associated receptor in the late 1990s.This new member of estrogen receptors was independent of the classic nuclear estrogen receptor ? and ? due to the low homology and signifi cant difference between them.It was reported that GPR30 localized endoplasmic reticulum predominantly,which was expressed in diverse cancer cells and a wide range of systems throughout the body.The rapid non-genetic response,partially at least,transcription regulation of estrogenic effects were mediated by the novel receptor via transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor and modulation of second messengers such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP) and Ca2+.These pathways,possibly coordinate with ER?,were involved in various physiological,physiopathological and carcinogenesis process.Theoretically,GPR30 would be a novel therapeutic target in estrogen-related diseases such as breast carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of 3 D ultrasound in the diagnosis of bladder diseases. Methods In 21 patients with bladder disease,3 D images were studied with a Voluson 530D diagnostic system.At first,the two dimensional images of lesions were collected,then defined 3 D volumes of interest were stored,reconstructed and analyzed. Results 3 D ultrasound provided a clear stereoscopic view and depicted the appearance of the 21 bladder diseases,displayed the internal structures,and showed invasive depth within and outside the bladder wall and also metastasis of the adjacent organs. Conclusions 3 D ultrasound can clearly demonstrate the morphologic characteristics and internal structures of the bladder disease and provide much more reliable information for the diagnosis of diseases.

Objective To explore the expression and activation of nuclear transcription factor ?B(NF ?B) in human breast cancer (BC), and the relationship between the activity of NF ?B and malignant potential of BC. Methods The protein expression of NF ?B p65 in BC tissue and paratumor tissue were measured by Western blot; NF ?B DNA binding activity was examined by electrophoretic motility shift assay(EMSA)in 26 BC tissues and 12 paratumor tissues of BC.Results The levels of NF ?B p65 protein and NF ?B DNA binding activity in the tumor tissue were higher than those in the paratumor tissues(P

Objective To denoise digital radiographic images well.Methods A technique was presented that used the Anscombe's transformation to adjust the original image to a Gaussian noise model based upon the wavelet denoising method and the wavelet-domain Hidden Markov Tree(HMT) model.Wavelet domain HMT models were used to determine the dependencies of multiscale wavelet coefficients through the state probabilities of the wavelet coefficients,whose sedistribution densities could be approximated by Gaussian mixture model.Results The proposed method could keep natural images edges from damaging and increase PSNR.Conclusion Quantitative and qualitative DR images assessment shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional Gaussian filter in terms of noise reduction,quality of details and bone sharpness.

Objective To analyze the incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage(t-SAH), time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors. Method A total of 98 patients,with t -SAH admitted from June 2007 to December 2008, were enrolled for this prospective study. The hemodynamics of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in these patients was monitored with trancranial Doppler (TCD) daily for 7 days after admission and on the 14th day of hospital stay. The incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (t-SAH) ,time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors were analyzed. Results Of them, 41 patients (41.8%) had CVS. The flow velocity of MCA in patients with GCS≤ 8 was significantly higher than that in patients with GCS≥9. Classified by t-SAH cumulative blood Hijdra method, 2(4.44%) of 45 patients(45.9%)with scores 6 or less,9 (29.0%)of 31 patients (37.8%) with scores 6～ 13,and 8 (36.4%) of 22 patients (20.0%)with scores 13 or more had CVS. Severe CVS occurred in 13 (35. 1% )of 37 surgical patients (37.8%), and local cerebral infarction occurred in four surgical patients after symptomatic treatment. The flow velocity of the MCA was significantly higher in surgical patients than that in non-surgical patients 3 days after admission. Conclusions The severity of original trauma, bleeding, location of t-SAH and operation are the major risk factors to lead to CVS in patients with t-SAH. Attention should he paid to those risk factors during the treatment of patients with t-SAH.
