Objective: To assess the expression of retinoic acid receptor beta 2 (RAR-β2) in breast tumor and to evaluate the relationship between RAR-β2 expression and tumorigenesis of breast cancer. Methods: Immu-nohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of RAR-β2 protein in specimens from 40 cases of breast cancer, 40 cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia, 40 cases of fibroadenoma and 20 cases of normal breast tissues. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of RAR-β2 gene in 20 cases of breast cancer, 20 cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia, 20 cases of fibroadenoma, and 20 cases of normal breast tissues. Results: Immunohistochemical staining results revealed that the positive expression of RAR-β2 protein showed nuclear staining. The positive expression rate of RAR-β2 was 30% (12/40) in breast cancer, 17.5% (7/40) in atypical ductal hyperplasia, 87.5% (35/40)in fibroadenoma, and 95% (19/20) in normal breast tissues. The expression of RAR-β2 protein in breast cancer was significantly lower than that in normal breast tissues (X~2=26.30, P<0.001). The expression of RAR-β2 was not significantly different between atypical ductal hyperplasia and breast cancer (P>0.05). No correlation was found between the expression of RAR-β 2 protein and the tumor size, menopausal age, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, histological grade, or protein expression of ER and PR in breast cancer tissues (P>0.05). Follow-up results showed that 3 out of 28 patients with negative RAR-β2 expression had visceral organ metastasis, but only one of the 12 RAR-β2 positive patients had osseous metastasis. RT-PCR analysis showed that the positive expression rate of RAR-β2 mRNA in breast cancer, atypical ductal hyperplasia, fibroadenoma and normal breast tissues was 25% (5/20), 35% (7/20), 85% (17/20) and 100% (20/20), respectively. The RAR-β2 mRNA expression rate in breast cancer was significantly lower than that in normal breast tissues (X~2=30.43, P<0.001). No significant difference in RAR-β2 mRNA expression was found between atypical ductal hyperplasia and breast cancer tissues (P>0.05). Conclusion: RAR-β2 gene may play a repressive role in the initiation of breast cancer, and the loss of the expression of RAR-β2 gene may be the initial step in breast carcinogenesis.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) in children, and provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment of AP in children.Methods:Based on the electronic medical record system of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, the clinical data of children with AP in the hospital from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the severity of the disease, the children were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group. The general data, laboratory tests and outcomes indicators of the two groups were collected and compared. The epidemiological characteristics of children with AP were analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of SAP in children.Results:A total of 227 children with AP were enrolled, including 161 in MAP group and 66 in SAP group. The median age of children with AP was 12.00 (8.00, 16.00) years old, and 126 cases (55.51%) were male. The main initial clinical symptoms were abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension (97.36%, 61.67% and 14.10%, respectively), 21 cases (9.25%) were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU), and 4 cases (1.76%) died in hospital due to sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction or traumatic shock. The epidemiological characteristics showed that the first onset age of AP was mainly 7-17 years old (85.02%); the main etiologies were biliary tract disease (29.96%), viral infection (29.07%) and idiopathic factors (19.82%). From 2011 to 2020, the number of children with AP showed a fluctuating trend, and from 2018 to 2020, the number of children with AP increased for three consecutive years. Compared with MAP group, the age of SAP group was significantly older, the proportion of female, the proportion of rural source, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ), body mass index (BMI), and the levels of white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), hospitalization expenses, the proportion of AP caused by traumatic factors and drug factors in SAP group were significantly higher (all P < 0.05). The level of blood calcium and the proportion of AP caused by virus infection were significantly lower, and the length of hospital stay in SAP group was significantly longer (all P < 0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHEⅡscore [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.495, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.293-1.728] and age ( OR = 1.352, 95% CI was 1.182-1.546) were closely related to SAP in children (all P < 0.001). Conclusion:Children with AP mostly occurs in preschool and adolescence, and the overall mortality is relatively low; biliary tract disease, viral infection and idiopathic factors are common causes; APACHEⅡ score and age may be risk factors for SAP in children.

Objective:To summarize the effect of Chinese Children′s Cancer Group (CCCG) Wilms tumor (WT)-2015 protocol.Methods:This was a prospective study. CCCG-WT-2015 protocol was revised on the basis of the CCCG-WT-2009 protocol. Clinical data of 288 children diagnosed with newly diagnosed kidney neoplasms in fourteen pediatric centers between September 2015 to December 2018 were summarized. The age of onset, distribution of pathological subtypes, staging, curative effect and prognostic factors of these children were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival curve and Log-Rank method was used for univariate analysis.Results:Among 288 cases with kidney neoplasms, there were 261 cases of WT, including 254 cases (97.3%) with favorable histology (FH) WT and 7 cases (2.7%) with unfavorable histology WT (UFHWT). The 3 year events free survival (EFS) rate for FHWT and UFHWT were (88.9±2.1)% and (80.0±17.9)%, which were better than that in WT-2009 (81.2% and 71.7%). In the 96 cases of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ FHWT with indications for radiotherapy, 76 cases received radiation, another 20 cases received M protocol chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, etoposide, gentamycin, vincristine and adriamycin) instead of radiation. The 3 year EFS rate for these two groups were (84.7±4.3)% and (84.7±8.1)%(χ 2=0.015, P=0.902). There were 22 renal clear cell sarcoma and 5 malignant rhabdoid tumor, 3 year EFS rate of them was (94.4±5.4)% and (20.0±17.9)%. Univariate analysis was performed for age, gender, pathological type, stage, whether rupture occurred during operation, whether complete remission (CR) occurred at the end of treatment and radiotherapy. Pathological types (χ 2=44.329, P<0.01) and failure to achieve CR at the end of the treatment (χ 2=49.459, P<0.01) were independent factor for predicting survival. Conclusion:Compared with CCCG-WT-2009, treatment of renal tumors in CCCG-WT-2015 study yielded good survival outcome, which can be further applied.
