A simple analytical method by means of on-line solid phase extraction followed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( SPE-LC-MS/MS) was developed for the simultaneous quantitation of 4 endocrine disruptors ( triclosan, triclocarban, bisphenol A and nonylphenol) in dairy products. Infant formula and milk samples were dissolved in acetic acid buffer and hydrolyzed by β-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase. Acetonitrile was used as the extract. Then, the mixture was freeze-centrifuged for 10 min and the supernatant was diluted with water, and analyzed via on-line SPE-LC-MS/MS. The sample extracts were concentrated by an Xbridge C8 cartridge and separated on a BEH C18 column with a gradient mobile phase of methanol and water; then analyzed by triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Mass acquisition was conducted under negative electrospray ionization mode. Quantification was performed by isotopic internal standard calibration. Acceptable linearity (R2>0. 99) was achieved over the range of 0. 005-5. 0 μg/L, with limits of quantification of 0. 03-1. 0μg/kg. Average recoveries of four target compounds (spiked at three concentration levels) ranged from 80. 2%-106. 7%,with relative standard deviation less than 15%. Due to its rapidity, simplicity, and high sensitivity, the method is suitable for the analysis of endocrine disruptors in dairy products. It has been applied in the analysis of raw milk and milk products collected in Beijing. As a result, nonylphenol was found with a high detectable frequency.

Objective To explore the role of Beclin 1 and PTEN in gastric caicinoma genesis and the effects on prognosis.Methods The expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN in 199 gastric caicinoma specimens and corresponding adjacent noncancerous tissues were examined by tissue microarrays and immunohistochemistary,and the relation with gastric cancer was analyzed.The rate of Beclin 1 and PTEN expression in 15 fresh gastric carcinoma samples and corresponding adjacent noncancerous tissues were detected by Western blot.All the samples were from Changzheng Hospital.Results The Results of immunohistochemistary showed that the rates of Beclin 1 and PTEN positive expression in cancinoma tissues were 47.2% (94/199) and 55.8% (111/199),both were lower than that of adjacent noncancinoma tissues (94.5%,188/199 and 92.5%,184/199; P < 0.01).The lower expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN in gastric carcinoma were associated with gender,differentiation degree,depth of tumor invasion,lymph node metastases and disease stage(P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between Beclin 1 and PTEN expression in gastric carcinoma tissues (r =0.680,P<0.01). The survival analysis indicated that Beclin 1 and PTEN were independent factors in determining the prognosis of gastric cancinoma patients.The 5-year survival rate of Beclin 1 positive patients was 67.0% (63/94),and of negative patients was 33.3% (35/105).The 5-year survival rate of PTEN positive patients was 71.2% (79/111),and of negative patients was 21.6% (19/88) ( all P<0.001).The Results of Western blot indicated that the expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN in gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly lower than that in the adjacent noncarcinoma tissues ( all P<0.001).Conclusion The abnormal expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN may be related to carcinogenesis and the development of gastric carcinoma.

Background:Esophagogastric variceal bleeding is a severe and commonly seen complication of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis. Prevention of rebleeding remains an important issue in the management of patients suffered from the disease. Aims:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization(PTVE) combined with partial splenic embolization(PSE)for treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods:Ten liver cirrhosis patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding were prospectively selected and treated by PTVE combined with PSE. The blood flow of portal system was measured by Doppler ultrasonography pre- and post-operatively;meanwhile peripheral blood cells were counted. A 1-2-year follow-up was carried out and the rebleeding and procedure-related complications were recorded. Results:The postoperative inner diameter of main portal vein,as well as the blood flow velocity of main portal vein and splenic vein were significantly reduced as compared with those before operation(P < 0. 05). Three months after operation,the peripheral white blood cell and platelet were still significantly higher than those before operation(P < 0. 05). During 1-year follow-up,rebleeding appeared in 2 patients,one of them was found having main portal vein thrombosis developed,and was treated by endoscopic esophageal variceal ligation because the gastric varices was not as evident as ever. The rebleeding rate and incidence of portal system thrombosis after the PTVE-PSE procedure was 20. 0% and 10. 0%,respectively. Conclusions:PTVE combined with PSE seemed efficient for alleviating portal hypertension,and might be recommended as a safe and effective interventional therapy for liver cirrhosis patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding.

Objective To investigate the effects of genistein on genioglossus muscle function and nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2(Nrf-2)/antioxidant responsive element(ARE) signaling pathway in rats under chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH) condition in order to find medication treatment of obstructive sleep apnea/hyponea syndrome.Methods Thirty female Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats (8 weeks old) were randomly(random number table) divided into three groups 1 week after ovariectomy: control group(NC group), CIH group, and CIH+genistein treatment group(T group).Rats in the latter two groups were exposed to CIH for 8 h/d for 5 weeks.Electrophysiological method was used to detect the change of genioglossus muscle function, and real-time reverse transcription(RT)-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the level of Nrf-2 gene and protein.Results Compared to NC group, the contractive properties of genioglossus muscle fatigue test at every time set was significantly decreased in CIH group(P<0.05).Compared to CIH group, the contractive properties was significantly increased in T group(P<0.05).The level of Nrf-2 gene and protein were less in CIH group(0.54±0.11 and 0.35±0.13) than in NC group(1.00±0.00 和 1.00±0.00)(P<0.05).Compared to CIH group the level of Nrf-2 gene and protein were increased in T group (0.76 ± 0.16 and 0.63 ± 0.14)(P<0.05), however, it was still less than the level in NC group(P<0.05).Conclusions CIH attenuates genioglossus muscle fatigue resistance under chronic intermittent hypoxia through Nrf-2/ARE signaling pathway.Genistein protects genioglossus muscle function through up-regulation of the level of Nrf-2 gene and protein.

Objective To analyze the development trajectory and predictors of endocrine therapy associated arthralgia in breast cancer patients.Methods From January 2022 to July 2022,breast cancer patients in the breast medicine department or outpatients of a tertiary cancer hospital in Hunan Province were selected as respondents using a convenience sampling method.A baseline survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Treated with Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer,and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale within 1 week prior to patient treatment.The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Treated with Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer was used to assess patients'arthralgia levels at 3,6,and 9 months after treatment,and data were analyzed using growth mixed model,univariate analysis of variance,and multiple logistic regression.Results A total of 418 breast cancer patients completed the follow-up,with 235 cases(56.22%)developing arthralgia.3 potential categories of arthralgia develop-ment trajectories were identified:high level-slowly increasing group(11.48%),low level-slowly increasing group(44.74%),and asymptomatic group(43.78%).The results of multifactorial analysis showed that anxiety,history of bone and joint disease,sleep duration,place of residence,monthly household income,and frequency of exercise were predictors of potential categories for the development of trajectory of arthralgia levels associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Arthralgia levels associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients exhibit different trajec-tories,and clinical staff should emphasize the assessment and intervention of pain levels in patients with the anxiety,a history of bone and joint disease,poor sleep,poor finances,living in urban areas,and low frequency of exercise.
