Aim To investigate the effect of CD44 anti-body-A3 D8 on the expression of IL-3 Rα and down-stream PI3K/Akt in NB4 cells. Methods The ex-pression of IL-3 Rα mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, the IL-3Rα protein expression and changes of PI3 K/Akt signal pathway in NB4 cells treated with A3D8 were analyzed by Western blot. An-nexin-V-FITC/PI double staining flow cytometry was u-tilized to detect the apoptotic cells. The inhibitor of PI3 K/Akt signaling LY294002 combined with A3 D8 was used to inhibit the PI3K/Akt in NB4 cells. Re-sults After treated with A3 D8 , both the transcription-al level and translational level of IL-3 Rα were remark-ably reduced, and the PI3K/Akt pathway was inhibi-ted. LY294002 improved the inhibitory and apoptotic effects of A3D8 on NB4 cells. Conclusion CD44 antibody A3 D8 can downregulate the expression of IL-3Rα and inhibit the downstream PI3K/Akt pathway.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of sleep disorders and nocturnal hypoxemia of patients with different degrees of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Four hundred and twenty-five patients with snoring were scored by Epworth Sleepiness Scale ( ESS), and monitored by polysomnography (PSG). The possible correlations between sleep structure, hypoxia parameters, ESS and clinical features were analyzed and compared in those patients. Results Four hundred and twenty-five patients were divided into 4 groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). There were 65 primary snoring patients (15.3%) and 360 OSAHS patients (84. 7% ) including 187 patients (44. 0% ) in severe OSAHS group. ESS was increased as aggravation of OSAHS. There were significant statistical differences in ESS among each group. Compared with primary snoring group, sleep efficiency, NREM1 + 2, oxygen desaturation index ( ODI), time with pulse oxygen saturation below 90% (T(SpO2 <90% ) ) were significantly higher in the OSAHS groups, and NREM3 +4, lowest pulse oxygen saturation level ( LSpO2 ) were lower. ESS was correlated positively with AHI (r= 0. 474,P <0. 01 ). They were both correlated positively with ODI, T (SpO2 <90% ) and NREM1 + 2( ESSr =0. 392, 0. 356,0. 194;AHI r = 0. 714, O. 682, 0. 365, all P < 0. 01 ), and correlated negatively with LSpO2, NREM3 + 4 ( ESS r = - 0. 414, - 0. 196; AHI r = - 0. 740, - 0. 385, both P < 0. 01 ). LSpO2, ODI and T (SpO2 < 90% ) were the primary influencing factors. Common clinical presentations and subjective symptoms were presented including daytime sleepiness, impaired memory, fatigue, dry mouth, oppressive wake and morning headache, etc. Percentage of individuals with daytime sleepiness in the severe OSAHS group was 73. 3% (137/187). These had serious impact on the patients' quality of life, leading to difficulty concentrating, poor memory and cognitive impairment. Conclusions Sleep disorders are found in the patients with different degrees of OSAHS. The excessive daytime sleepiness interrelated partly with the structure of sleep, and totally with hypoxia parameters. The more severity the patients have, the more nocturnal hypoxia, sleep disorders and higher ESS are found.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography combined with enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) proteins in triple-negative breast cancer.Methods:A total of 116 breast cancer patients selected for treatment in our hospital from 2019 to 2021 were analyzed, and ER and PR were analyzed according to the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). Patients who were all HER2 negative were classified as TNBC group, with a total of 21 cases, and patients who were positive for ER, PR, and HER2 were classified as non-TNBC, a total of 95 cases. All enrolled patients underwent ultrasonic elastography examination. The positive expression of EZH2 and BRCA1 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Chi-square test was used to analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography combined with EZH2 and BRCA1 proteins in TNBC.Results:In the TNBC group, the proportion of smooth edges (35.09) and lobulation of lesions (9.52) was higher than that in the non-TNBC group (12.63, 5.26), while the proportion of burrs (28.57) and fuzziness (23.81) was lower than that in the non-TNBC group (50.53, 31.58). The proportion of calcifications (52.38) in the TNBC group was lower than that in the non-TNBC group (85.26). The non-attenuation ratio of rear echo (80.95) was higher than that of non-TNBC group (52.63). The proportion of blood flow grade enrichment (57.14) was lower than that in the non-TNBC group (63.16) (all P<0.05). The positive expression rate of EZH2 in the TNBC group (85.71) was higher than that of non-TNBC (63.16) ( P<0.001), and the positive expression rate of BRCA1 in the TNBC group (19.05) was lower than that of non-TNBC (55.79) ( P<0.05). The posterior echo non-attenuation ratio (88.89) and rich blood supply ratio (88.89) of EZH2 positive patients in the TNBC group were higher than those with negative (33.33, 0) (all P<0.05), and the rear echo non-attenuation ratio (25.00) and rich blood supply ratio (25.00) of BRCA1 positive in the TNBC group were lower than those with negative (52.94, 88.24) (all P<0.05) ; According to the pathological results, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of posterior echo for the diagnosis of TNBC were 25.37%, 91.84% and 53.44%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of EZH2 were 23.08%, 92.11% and 45.69%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of BRCA1 were 28.81%, 92.98% and 60.34%, respectively. The combined sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the three were 53.13%, 95.24% and 83.62%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of blood flow fraction for the diagnosis of TNBC were 25.81%, 90.74% and 56.03%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of blood flow fraction, EZH2 and BRCA1 were 59.26%, 94.38% and 86.21%, respectively. Conclusion:The joint classification of the posterior echoes and blood flow in ultrasonic elastography combined with EZH2 and BRCA1 has important significance in the diagnosis of TNBC.

To evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) in breast cancer patients with a positive-to-negative switch of hormone receptor status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).One hundred and six patients who presented with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer at diagnosis and turned to HR-negative after NAC during December 2000 and December 2013 in Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were retrospectively identified. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used for univariate analyses of factors related to disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Multivariate analysis was carried out using the Cox proportional hazards model in patients with DFS and OS.All the patients were categorized into two groups on the basis of the administration of AET:61 AET-administered patients (57.5%) and 45 AET-naïve patients (42.5%). After a median follow-up of 68 months (range 14-103 months), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) status, initial clinical stage, pathological axillary lymph node status and the use of AET were identified as the variables affecting DFS and OS (all<0.05). Patients treated with AET had a significantly improved 5-year DFS rate when compared with that without AET (77.1%53.5%,<0.05). The 5-year OS of AET-administered patients was also better than that of AET-naïve patients (80.9%71.0%,<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that AET-administered or not was the independent predictor for 5-year DFS (=2.096, 95%:1.081-4.065,<0.05).Patients with HR altered from positive to negative after NAC may still gain benefit from AET.
