Objective To explore the value of systematic continuous sequence approach combined with two- and three-dimensional ultrasonography in screening of fetal hand deformity. Methods Systematic continuous sequence approach was performed with two- and three-dimensional u1trasonography in 28 541 cases to detect the fetal hand from January 2011 to December 2014 in the 105th Hospital of PLA. Prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis was compared with clinical delivery follow-up and pathology results of induced labour, then prenatal ultrasound features of various fetal hand deformities and the causes of missed diagnosis were analyzed. Results Thirty-four cases of fetal hand deformity were diagnosed out of 28 541 fetuses by prenatal ultrasonography (43 hands). In the 34 cases, there were 5 cases of cleft hand, 13 cases of ectrodactyly with fingers abnormal morphology, 3 cases of forearm and hand dysplasia, 7 cases of wrist or finger abnormal posture and 6 cases of hand absence of abnormal. Three missed cases included 1 case of polydacty, 1 case of middle phalanx and distal phalanx of the little thumb absence and 1 case of middle phalanx of little thumb absence. Hand deformity rate was 0.13%(37/28 541). The detection rate ofprenatal ultrasonography was 91.89%(34/37). The rate of hand deformity complicated deformity with one or more other organ was 52.94%(18/34). The rate of chromosome abnormalities was 13.51%(5/37). Cleft hand showed that fetal hand from the central longitudinal split into two halves. Ectrodactyly with fingers abnormal morphology showed that one or multiple fingers were absent combined with residual finger abnormal morphology. Forearm and hand dysplasia showed that the forearm was abnormally developed, the ulna and radius were short and the structure of the wrist disappeared. Wrist or finger abnormal posture showed that a hook-shaped wrist or half fist shaped hand, thumb adduction flexion, the index finger bending baroclinic on the dorsal of the middle finger and small finger bending baroclinic on the dorsal of the ring finger dorsal. Hand absence showed that no fetal hands. Conclusions Application of systematic continuous sequence approach combined with real time three-dimensional ultrasonography in the diagnosis of fetal hand deformity, such as ectrodactyly with fingers abnormal morphology and wrist or finger abnormal posture, can make up for the shortage of two-dimensional ultrasonography and obtain more diagnostic information.

Activity-based protein profiling(ABPP)and affinity-based protein profiling(AfBPP)are reliable chemical proteomics techniques that exhibit significant advantages in identifying the direct acting targets of small molecule drugs and toxicants,which can help researchers understand the pharmaco-logical and toxicological mechanisms of active small molecules.This paper introduces ABPP and AfBPP technologies and summarizes the applications of this technique in drug off-target effect and target iden-tification of toxicants in recent years,such as drug off-target effect of crenolanib,BIA 10-2474,orlistat and target identification of VX,fenitrothion,acrolein.It is hoped that this review will give readers a better idea of ABPP/AfBPP and offer a line of thinking for researchers in the fields of pharmacology,toxicology and chemical biology.

Ovarian cancer is the most malignant gynecologic malignancy. In recent years, histone modifying enzymes (HMEs) have been widely studied as an important part of epigenetic modifi-cations in ovarian cancer. Histone modifying enzymes, including histone methyltransferases and demethylases, histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases, play an important role in the prolif-eration and migration of ovarian cancer cells by modifying histone and non-histone proteins, and can regulate the development of chemoresistance. Inhibitors of various histone modifying enzymes play good anti-tumor effects in ovarian cancer by promoting cell growth arrest and apoptosis, inhibi¬ting tumor cell invasion, and increasing chemo¬therapy sensitivity, and are expected to be a new strategy for precision treatment of ovarian cancer. Therefore, this paper will review the mechanism of action and therapeutic potential of histone modifying enzymes involved in methylation and acetylation processes in ovarian cancer.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of ursolic acid （UA） on the growth， invasion， apoptosis and metastasis of human colorectal cancer cells SW620 and find out the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS The effects of different concentrations （0， 5， 10， 15， 20， 25， 30 μmol/L） of UA on the proliferation of SW620 cells for different durations （24， 48， 72 h） were detected by CCK-8 assay； the clone formation was detected by clone formation assay after SW620 cells were treated with different concentrations of UA （0，10，15，20 μmol/L） for 10 days. After SW620 cells were treated with different concentrations of UA （0， 10， 15， 20 μmol/L） for 24 hours， flow cytometry， Transwell invasion assay and Western blot assay were adopted to detect apoptosis and invasion of SW620 cells， and the expressions of B cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， cleaved-poly （ADP-ribose） polymerase （cleaved-PARP）， phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p-p38 MAPK）， p38 MAPK， E-cadherin， N-cadherin and zinc finger transcription factor Snail. The effects of p38 MAPK inhibitor （SB203580） combined with UA on the protein expressions of p-p38 MAPK， Bcl-2 and N-cadherin were investigated. RESULTS Compared with 0 μmol/L UA， the stone5999@163.com survival rates of SW620 cells treated with 5-30 μmol/L UA for 24， 48 and 72 h were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. The clone formation rate of cells treated with 15 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L UA was significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. After being treated with 15 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L UA， the cell apoptosis rate， the protein expressions of cleaved-PARP and E-cadherin， and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK protein were increased； but the number of transmembrane cells， and the protein expressions of Bcl-2， Snail and N-cadherin were decreased； there was statistical significance in difference of most indexes （P＜0.05）. Some indexes changed in a concentration-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. SB203580 could significantly inhibit the upregulation of p38 MAPK by UA and reverse the inhibitory effect of UA on the protein expressions of Bcl-2 and N-cadherin （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS UA can inhibit the growth， invasion and metastasis of SW620 cells， and induce cell apoptosis， the mechanism of which may be attributed to the activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
