Objective To assay free amino acids (FAA) content of breast cancer tissue and mammary glandular tissue and discuss the therapeutic basis of unbalanced amino acids of breast cancer. Methods The selected samples were conserved and then cut into pieces, grinded, syruped and deproteinized. Then FAA were separated from the samples. The content of 17 kinds of free amino acids in breast cancer tissue and mammary glandular were assayed respectively. Results The concentration of FAA in breast cancer tissue was higher than that in mammary glandular tissue. Conclusions Free amino acids metabolism was greatly different in breast cancer and mammary glandular tissues. This offers a therapeutic basis for the treatment of unbalanced free amino acids in the case of breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the status of vitamin A and the level of AntiHBs in infants.Methods One hundred and ninty eight infants met the criteria were recruited into an investigation through local vaccination service.Two milliter venous blood was drawn from each studied child,and the infants' feeding information of successive 72 hours was collected through the 24-hour dietary recall method and 2-day diet records method.The nutrients intakes were analyzed with a NCCW software for calculation.The concentration of serum vitamin A and Anti-HBs was analyzed by HPLC and ECLIA,respectively.The logarithm of anti-HBs concentrations was compared among sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency (87 cases ),suspicious subclinical vitamin A deficient group (51 cases )and normal group (60 cases )and the relationship between the logarithm of anti-HBs concentrations and vitamin A were analyzed.ResultsThere were only 19.7% of children whose average daily intake of vitamin A reached the 80% of recommended nutrient intakes(RNI).The incidence rate of vitamin A malnutrition was 67.2%.The serum Anti-HBs GMC was 402.8 U/L The positive rate was 98.0%.There were significant differences on Anti-HBs Ig GMC between Sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency (SVAD) group,suspicious SVAD group and normal group( F =15.88,P < 0.001 ).The correlation coefficient between the level of serum vitamin A and Anti-HBs lg GMC was 0.441 ( P =0.01 ).ConclusionThe results show that the level of serum vitamin A may have influence on the maintenance of an effective anti-HBs level against hepatitis B virus.

Objective:To explore the expression of Aurora Kinase A (AURKA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its prognostic value.Methods:mRNA expression profiles and clinical data of HCC patients were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Expression of AURKA mRNA in HCC patients of TCGA database from normal liver tissue and all tumor tissues, normal tissues adjacent to cancer and matched tumor tissues were analyzed, and then expression of AURKA to was investigated in HCC tissues and normal liver tissues in the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. According to the TNM stage information of HCC patients in TCGA database, expression of AURKA in different stages was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze whether the high and low expression of AURKA in HCC patients of TCGA database (with the median as the cut-off value) was significantly related to the length of survival. The RNA-seq expression profile data of HCC patients in the public resource platform of the Kaplan-Meier Plotter website was used for external verification. Cox univariate and multivariate analysis were performed on the age, sex, degree of differentiation, TNM stage, and AURKA mRNA expression of TCGA database patients.Results:374 cases of HCC tumor tissues and 50 cases of adjacent normal liver tissues in the TCGA database were included. All HCC tumor tissues in the TCGA database compared with the paired adjacent tissues mRNA level of AURKA was significantly increased, and the protein level was also increased, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); With the tumor TNM stage increase of AURKA mRNA expression showed a gradual upward trend, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); in the TCGA database HCC cohort, high expression of AURKA mRNA was associated with poor HCC prognosis, and was obtained in Kaplan Meier Plotter database. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that TNM stage ( HR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.37-2.10) and AURKA mRNA expression level ( HR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.10) are the independent prognostic factors of HCC patients. Conclusions:AURKA is highly expressed in HCC, which is associated with the poor prognosis of HCC. AURKA is an independent prognostic factor of HCC.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of preoperative sequential transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) followed by selective portal venous embolization (PVE) in patients with marginally resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).The aim was to find out whether this combined procedure helped to increase the rate of extended radical liver resection.Methods From March 2009 to November 2016,29 patients with HCC which were marginally resectable underwent preoperative TACE combined with PVE were included into this study.All these patients were subsequently assessed to undergo radical hepatectomy.The complications,laboratory results,volume changes of each liver lobe and patient survival were analyzed.Results TACE combined with PVE was successful in all the 29 patients.There were no major complications.After the procedure,the volumes of the tumor and the part of the liver to be resected decreased to certain degree.The remnant liver volume (RLV) increased remarkably.The RLV were (395.4 ±58.7) cm3 and (599.2 ±75.2) cm3 before and after the procedure,respectively.The difference was significant (P < 0.05).19 patients underwent radical hemihepatectomy or trisectionectomy,with a resection rate of 65.5% (19/29).There were sufficient surgical margins in all the resected tumors.After operation,the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates were 58.8%,35.5% and 17.6%,respectively.Conclusion For HCC patients who had marginally resectable HCC,preoperative TACE combined with PVE efficiently controlled the growth of the tumors,decreased the volume of the liver lobe with tumor,increased the RLV,and made it possible for a planned two-stage radical hepatectomy with sufficient surgical margin and better survival in a significant proportion of patients.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.
