Methods 46 cases of pathologically confirmed by surgery for breast cancer after preoperative high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among preoperative ultrasound diagnosis of breast cancer(41 cases) ,5 cases was fibroadenoma and ultrasound diagnosis and pathology diagnosis consistent rate was 89. 1%. Two-dimensional sonographic features of breast cancer were lumps form less rules,no capsule, the border less clear,and some was like or Crab-like glitches,and Aspect ratio was greater than 1,internal had the non-uniform weak echo,some showed the sand-like calcification,rear echo attenuation,Color Doppler flow characteristics :mass flow signals could be seen around and inside, Vmax value range was 6. 6 cm / s ～ 45. 1 cm / s, Vmean(21.50 ± 10.62) cm/s,RI:0.59 ～ 1.0,an average of(0.74 ±0.1). Conclusion High frequency color Doppler ultrasonography in early diagnosis of breast cancer had a high value.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Qingyi Huaji (QYHJ) decoction, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on tumor inhibition rate and serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in nude mice with transplanted tumors of human pancreatic cancer. Methods: The tumor-bearing mice model was established by subcutaneously inoculating with xenografts of pancreatic cancer into the right armpit of 40 BALB/c nude mice. After successful modeling, the mice were randomly divided into untreated group (Arabic gum), capecitabine group, low-dose QYHJ decoction group (36 g/kg) and high-dose QYHJ decoction group (72 g/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Citrate buffer solution (containing 5% Arabic gum), capecitabine suspension and QYHJ decoction were administered to four groups by gavage respectively. After 5-week treatment, the concentrations of serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using blood sample from eye socket. Then the mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Tumor weight and the tumor inhibition rate were calculated. Results: Tumor weight in the low-dose QYHJ decoction group decreased significantly as compared with the untreated group (P<0.05). Serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha in low- and high-dose QYHJ groups were extremely significantly lower than those in the untreated group (P<0.01). Serum level of IL-8 in the low-dose QYHJ group was significantly lower than that in the untreated group (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that transplanted tumor weight of the mice was linearly positively correlated with serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 or TNF-alpha (P<0.01). Conclusion: Conventional dose of QYHJ decoction is effective in suppressing pancreatic carcinoma in nude mice. The mechanism may be related to down-regulation of serum cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha.

Objective To observe the expressions of NeuN and pCaMKⅡα in brain and test the spacial learning and memory in neonatal hypoxic?ischemia encephalopathy ( HIE ) model mice. Methods 7d ICR mice were randomly divided into sham group( n=19) and model group( n=23). HIE model was induced by right common carotid artery ligation followed by 8% oxygen hypoxia for 100 min. DAPI staining was used to examine brain pathological change,immunofluorescent staining was used to examine the expression of NeuN and pCaMKⅡα in the ipsilateral brain,and Morris water maze was used to test the spa?cial learning and memory. Results Mice in sham group showed that brain cells were arranged in a dense and orderly manner,the number of NeuN?positive cells and pCaMKⅡα?positive cells were (106.50±20.07), (87.17±16.55) respectively in the brain,and the escape latency was short. Compared with mice in sham group,mice in model group showed more cells loss,less NeuN?positive cells(19.17±3.60) and less pCaMKⅡα?positive cells(13.33±3.62) in the ipsilateral hemisphere,and longer escape latency(P<0.01). Conclu-sion The spacial learning and memory are impaired in hypoxia ischemia,which may be related to the de?creasing expression of pCaMKⅡα in neurons in ipsilateral brain.

Objective To investigate the incidence and the related factors of the depression in Parkinson's disease. Methods 52 cases with idiopathic Parkinson's disease were included in this study. Such scales as Hamilton depression scale-24 item (HAMD-24), Non Motor Symptoms Scale for Parkinson's disease (NMSS), 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS), revised Hoehn-Yahr rating scale (H-Y), revised Schwab and English daily life event scale (S-E), Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), etc. were applied and underwent Spearman correlation analysis. Results Thirty-six patients with Parkinson's disease (69.23%) met the criteria for depression. The spearman rank correlation analysis showed that MMSE (r=-0.294, P=0.036) and S-E (r=-0.506, P<0.001) had negative correlation with depression in Parkinson's disease, and the course of the disease (r=0.274, P=0.049), UPDRS (r=0.485, P<0.001), H-Y (r = 0.459, P = 0.001), NMSE (r = 0.729, P < 0.001) and PDQ-39 (r = 0.619, P < 0.001) had positive correlation with depression in Parkinson's disease. Conclusions The patients with Parkinson's disease had high incidence of depression. The depression in Parkinson's disease is associated with many factors and affected the quality of life of the patients.

Objective To compare the serum levels of interleukin(IL)-6,IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)in patients with DPD,PD,depression disorder and healthy controls and to analyze the correlations of serum inflammatory factors in DPD patients. Methods Serum levels of IL-6,IL-18 and TNF-αwere measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) kits. Several scales were performedin DPD patients. Results DPD,PD and depression disorder patients had significant lower baseline levels of IL-6 and TNF-αwhen compared to healthy controls(P < 0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in DPD patients were significantly increased after 4 weeks of anti-depression treatment(P < 0.05). No difference of cytokines levels in gender and in severity of DPD patients was detected Serum levels of these inflammatory cytokines were not significantly correlated with the UP-DRS Ⅲ,H & Y,MMSE and HAMD scores in DPD patients. Conclusions Serum inflammatory factors(IL-6, TNF-α)were altered in patients with DPD in the earlier course of disease. However ,the role of IL-18 remained unknownin the occurrence of DPD disease.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of IA regimen which contains idarubicin (IDA) 8 mg/m², 10 mg/m² or 12 mg/m² as induction chemotherapy for adult patients with de-novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: A total of 1 215 newly diagnosed adult AML patients, ranging from May 2011 to March 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and other 36 clinical blood centers in China were enrolled in the multicenter, single-blind, non-randomized, clinical controlled study. To compare the response rate of complete remission (CR) , adverse events between different dose idarubicin combined with cytarabine (100 mg/m²) as induction chemotherapy in newly diagnosed patients of adult AML. Results: Of 1 207 evaluable AML patients were assigned to this analysis of CR rate. The CR rates of IDA 8 mg/m² group, IDA 10 mg/m² group and IDA 12 mg/m² group were 73.6% (215/292) , 84.1% (662/787) and 86.7% (111/128) , respectively (P<0.001) . After adjusted for age, blast ratio of bone marrow, FAB classification and risk stratification, the odds ratios (95% CI) of IDA 10 mg/m² group and IDA 12 mg/m² group were 0.49 (0.34-0.70) and 0.36 (0.18-0.71) , as compared with the IDA 8 mg/m² group (P<0.001, P=0.003) . In the intermediate and favorable groups, CR rates was 76.5% (163/213) , 86.9% (506/582) and 86.1% (68/79) in different doses of IDA (P=0.007) . Interestingly, IA regimen with IDA 10 mg/m² was the only beneficial factor affecting CR in this group after adjusted for age, blast ratio of bone marrow and FAB classification[OR=0.47 (95% CI 0.31-0.71) , P<0.001]. CR rates in adverse group was 50.0% (18/36) , 60.6% (43/71) and 81.8% (18/22) respectively (P=0.089) . However, the odds ratios (95% CI) of IDA 12 mg/m² when compared with the IDA 8 mg/m² was 0.22 (0.06-0.80) , after adjusted for age, blast ratio of bone marrow and FAB classification. The median time (days) of neutrophil count less than 0.5×10⁹/L in IDA 8 mg/m² group, IDA 10 mg/m² group and IDA 12 mg/m² group were 14 (11-18) , 15 (11-20) and 18 (14-22) , respectively (P=0.012) and of platelet count lower than 20×10⁹/L were 14 (7-17) , 15 (11-20) and 17 (15-21) , respectively (P=0.001) . The incidences of lung infection in the three groups were 9.8%, 13.5% and 25.2%, respectively (P<0.001) . Conclusions For young adult patients (aged 18-60 years) with AML in China, intensifying induction therapy with idarubicin 10 mg/m² is clinically superior to IDA 8 mg/m² and IDA 12 mg/m² in favorable intermediate AML subgroup. However, idarubicin 12 mg/m² is more suitable to adverse AML subgroup.
