Objective To find out the distribution of drinking-tea-borne fluorosis in the six ethnics in Qinghai Province, and to provide basic data for prevention and control of the disease. Methods In 2010, according to the requirement of “The National Surveillance Program of Drinking-Tea-borne Fluorosis”, six ethnics accounted for 99.59% of total population in Qinghai Province were investigated in 28 counties having brick-tea drinking habit. Three townships and a town in each county, two administrative villages(residents’ committee) in each township and town were chosen and 50 adults in each administrative village and residents ’ committee were selected to check skeletal fluorosis, dental fluorosis, urine fluoride and daily drinking amount of tea water. Five to six samples of drinking tea water were determined. Dental fluorosis was examined by Deans method; the fluoride content of brick-tea and urine were determined by fluoride ion selective electrode; the skeletal fluorosis was diagnosed based on “Endemic Osteofluorosis Clinical Indexing Diagnosis Standard”( WS 192-2008 ) . Results A total of 10 335 adults were surveyed, the number of Tibetan, Han, Hui, Mongolian, Tu and Salar ethnics were 4 972, 3 063, 1 196, 634, 235 and 235, respectively. The daily drinking amounts of tea water in Mongolian, Tibetan, Hui, Tu, Han and Salar ethnics were 2.53, 2.19, 1.74, 1.63, 1.22 and 1.07 L, respectively. Daily fluoride intakes in Tibetan, Mongolian, Tu, Hui, Han and Salar ethnics were 3.99, 2.78,2.27, 2.16, 1.78 and 1.28 mg, respectively. The medians of urinary fluoride concentration of the Tibetan, Tu, Hui, Han, Mongolian and Salar ethnics were 1.46, 1.19, 1.12, 0.98, 0.93 and 0.81 mg/L, respectively. The prevalence rates of dental fluorosis of the Hui, Han, Tibetan, Tu, Mongolian and Salar ethnics were 34.53%(413/1 196), 27.07%(829/3 063), 21.60%(1 074/4 972), 20.00%(47/235), 17.98%(114/634) and 6.38%(15/235), respectively. The incidence rates of clinical skeletal fluorosis of the Tibetan, Mongolian, Han, Hui, Tu and Salar ethnics were 13.42%(667/4 972), 11.04%(70/634), 9.31%(285/3 063), 7.61%(91/1 196), 5.53%(13/235) and 4.26%(10/235), respectively.

Tibetan and Mongolian ethnics are the key population concerning the prevention and control of the disease.

Objective To investigate whether TG2 promotes drug resistance to epirubicin through AKT signal pathway in breast cancer. Methods MCF-7 cells with constant expression of TGM2 gene(TGM2-LV)were established via the lentiviral vector. The breast cancer cells were divided into five groups,including the NC group, TG2 group and MK2206 group. The MCF-7/adr cells were divided into ADR group and MKadr group. The expres-sion of TG2 ,AKT ,Bcl-2 and P53 was detected by Western blot assay. Cells were treated with epirubicin. MTT assay was performed to assess cell proliferation. The inhibition ratio of cancer cell proliferation was evaluated. TUNEL analysis was performed to identify the apoptosis of the breast cancer cells. Results Lvels of TG2,p-AKT and Bcl-2 in NC group were significantly lower than those in TG2 group,while the expression of P53 in NC group was much higher. In MK2206(or MK/adr )group,p-AKT and Bcl-2 were down-regulated,while P53 was markedly up-regulated compared with TG2(or ADR)group(P<0.05). The results of the MTT assay showed a strong inhibi-tion in cell proliferation rate in MK2206(or MKadr )group. Compared with the NC group,TG2 promoted prolifera-tion of MCF-7 cells in TG2 group. The cell apoptosis rate in MK2206(or MKadr )group was significantly higher than that in TG2(or ADR)group(P<0.05). TG2 significantly inhibit the apoptosis of breast cancer cells ,com-pared to the control group. Conclusion TG2 might promote drug resistance to epirubicin through AKT signal path-way in breast cancer
