Objective Ultrasonongraphy and mammography were employed to estimate the pathological response of patients with breast cancer ,who had been accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy .According to the pres-ent study ,we can provide additional evidence on therapeutic effect on evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and better selection of regime for breast cancer .Methods One hundred Thirty-six patients who were previously dia-gosed diagnosed with primary breast cancer were included in this study .All subjects were female with clearly pathological detection and accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy about 4 to 6 cycles regardless of regime .The resid-ual tumor size was evaluated by mammography and /or ultrasonography before operation .Tumor size measured by image were compared with pathological size to predicting the accuracy of two types of imaging .Results Forty one of 116 records were undetectable imaging by mammogram and 19 of 106 records were undetectable by ultrasound which were considered a pathologic complete response .Sixty one(62.24%)of 98 patients who were accepted de-tection of mammogram and ultrasound would be predicted the tumor size by mammogram .Eighty three(84.69%) of 98 patients would be predicted the residual tumor by ultrasound .31 and 59 were accurately evaluated by mam-mogram and ultrasound , respectively .The result indicated that ultrasound was more accurate than mammogram (60.20%vs.31.63%,χ2 =16.11,P<0.001).The correctly rate was 92.85%(91/98)for ultrasound and 68. 37%(67/98) for mammogram.The diagnosis efficiency of ultrasound was more higher than mammogram ,even though there was no different significance between the two methods (χ2 =2.028,P=0.164).Conclusion Ultra-sonongraphy in estimating the residual tumor size after neoadjuvant chemotherapy of patients with breast cancer displays more accurately than mammography .

OBJECTIVE: To report the current situation of dialysis and transplantation in Foshan City. METHODS: A total of 18 hospitals performed dialysis filled the registration forms, which comprised situations of hospital, staff establishment, blood purification developing, blood purification equipments, hemodialysis patients, peritoneal dialysis patients, and acute renal failure patients. The registration time was form the beginning to ending of 2007, and the information was statistical analyzed.RESULTS: Totally 18 hospitals in Foshan district performed hemodialysis and 6 of them offered peritoneal dialysis simultaneously. There were 155 hemodialysis machines, 6 CRRT machines, and 15 dialyser reuse devices. Totally 1 718 patients received dialysis in 2007 year, including 93.60% hemodialysis patients and 6.40% peritoneal dialysis patients. Until the end of 2007, 1011 patients were received dialysis treatment, including 90.60% hemodialysis and 9.40% peritoneal dialysis. Glomerulonephritis (47.1%) was still the first primary disease of dialysis, then diabetic nephropathy (28%), third arteriosclerosis nephropathy (9.7%), fourth obstructive nephropathy (3.2%). Totally 743 hemodialysis patients stopped treating for reasons of death, improvement or recovery, changed to peritoneal dialysis, kidney transplantation, transfer, economics and lost follow-up, accounted for 20.3%, 20.1%, 7.2%, 4.1%, 21.5%, 20.2% and 6.6%, respectively. Cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, infection, dystrophy, synthetic factors and other were the main reasons for death, which accounted for 16.6%, 28%, 17.2%, 3.2%, 18.4% and 16.6%. A total of 16 patients stopped peritoneal dialysis for death (68.7%), improvement or recovery (18.7%), changed to hemodialysis (7.1%), or lost follow-up (6.3%). The causes of death were cerebrovascular disease (21.4%), cardiovascular disease (7.1%), infection (28.6%) and others (42.9%).CONCLUSION: There are 18 hospitals can perform dialysis treatment in Foshan district. Glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, arteriosclerosis nephropathy and obstructive nephropathy are the first four primary diseases of dialysis. Cerebrovascular disease and infection are the main causes of death.

Objective To explore the effects of standardized self-management education on treatment compliance in patients with coronary heart disease ( CHD) . Methods The study investigated 120 patients with CHD who were admitted in First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin medical university from March 2013 to March 2014. According to random number table method, the participants were divided into two groups: intervention group and control group, 60 cases in each group. The patients of control group received normal nursing care;the patients of intervention group underwent standardized self-management educated based on the normal care. The effectiveness of self-management and patients′ treatment compliance of these two groups were evaluated and compared. Results Before the interventions, the scores of the effectiveness of self-management in control group and intervention group were (21. 22 ± 5. 63) and (20. 56 ± 5. 74) (t =0. 562, P >0. 05). After the interventions, the scores in the control group and intervention group were ( 25. 26 ± 8. 01 ) and ( 35. 56 ± 5. 33);both of the groups were significantly improved after the intervention (t=3. 245, 15. 774;P<0. 01);and the intervention group improved more obviously than that of the control group (t =11. 236,P <0. 01). Moreover, the intervention group performed better in: adherence to medical regimens, reasonable rest, reviewon time, giving up smoking and drinking, proper diet, reasonable exercise, and preventing infection comparing with that of control group (t=5. 224, 6. 035, 5. 942, 4. 993, 4. 798, 5. 648, 6. 498, 5. 858;P<0. 01). Conclusions The standardized self-management education with normal nursing care is effective to motivate CHD patients and to improve their self-management ability and treatment compliance.

AIM: To evaluate the bioequivalence of the test and reference formulations of mycophenolate mofetil capsule in Chinese healthy male subjects under fasting and fed conditions. METHODS: This was a 2-treatment, 2-sequence, 4-period, fully replicated crossover study that included 80 Chinese healthy male subjects (40 subjects in the fasting group and 40 subjects in the fed group, respectively). Subjects were assigned to receive a single oral administration of the test or reference formulation at a dose of 0.25 g in each period. The plasma concentration of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and metabolite mycophenolic acid (MPA) were analyhed by LC-MS/MS. The major pharmacokinetic parameters of MMF and MPA were calculated using non-compartmental analysis by WinNonlin 8.0. The statistical analysis was performed by SAS 9.4. Average bioequivalence (ABE) analysis was applied where it has been demonstrated that the within-subject standard deviation of the reference formulation (S

Development of thoracolumbar vertebra (TLV) and rib primordium (RP) is a common evolutionary feature across vertebrates, although whole-organism analysis of the expression dynamics of TLV- and RP-related genes has been lacking. Here, we investigated the single-cell transcriptome landscape of thoracic vertebra (TV), lumbar vertebra (LV), and RP cells from a pig embryo at 27 days post-fertilization (dpf) and identified six cell types with distinct gene expression signatures. In-depth dissection of the gene expression dynamics and RNA velocity revealed a coupled process of osteogenesis and angiogenesis during TLV and RP development. Further analysis of cell type-specific and strand-specific expression uncovered the extremely high level of HOXA10 3'-UTR sequence specific to osteoblasts of LV cells, which may function as anti-HOXA10-antisense by counteracting the HOXA10-antisense effect to determine TLV transition. Thus, this work provides a valuable resource for understanding embryonic osteogenesis and angiogenesis underlying vertebrate TLV and RP development at the cell type-specific resolution, which serves as a comprehensive view on the transcriptional profile of animal embryo development.
