Objective To explore Angptl2(angiopoietin-like protein 2)expression in tumor tis-sue and serum in patients with breast cancer(BC). Methods A total of 78 BC patients were enrolled in this study. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Angptl2 expression in tumor and adjacent normal tis-sues. Preoperative and postoperative serum Angptl2 levels were determined via ELISA. Correlation among Angptl2 expression,clinicopathological factors and progression-free survival(PFS)were further evalua-ted. The receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was constructed to describe diagnostic specificity and sensitivity. Results Angptl2 was positively expressed in 64(82. 1% )cases. The rates of high and moderate expression of Angpt l2 in tumor and adjacent tissues were 53. 8%(42 / 78)and 7. 7%(6 / 78), respectively(P ﹤ 0. 001). Moreover,the elevated Angptl2 protein was significantly associated with lymph metastasis and adverse PFS. In addition,serum Angptl2 level in BC patients was significantly higher than that in benign controls[(218. 72 ± 88. 02)vs(80. 88 ± 30. 59)ng/ ml,P ﹤ 0. 01]. The area under the curve(AUC)was 0. 909,which indicated a good function for diagnosis. Postoperative serum Angptl2 level was decreased to(142. 43 ± 60. 29)ng/ ml,but still higher than that in controls(P ﹤ 0. 01). Conclusion The expression of Angptl2 may increase in tumor tissue and serum of BC and it may be a potential tumor marker for diagnosis and prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic radiation therapy combined with temozolomide on recurrent glioma.Methods:A total of 36 patients with recurrent glioma were retrospectively analyzed and divided into a control group (n=12),who received stereotactic radiation therapy,and an experimental group (n=24),who received stereotactic radiation therapy plus temozolomide.The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions for the 2 groups were compared.Results:Total effective rate and local control rate for clinical treatment were 66.67% and 93.94%,respectively.Late adverse reaction was not observed.The effective rate and local control rate in the experimental group were 77.27% and 95.45%,which were slight higher than those in the control group,with no statistical significance (P>0.05).The 0.5-,1-,2-,3-year follow-up total survival rates were 90.91%,63.64%,42.42%,and 15.15%,respectively.The 0.5-,1-,2-,3-year follow-up survival rates in the experimental group were 95.45%,72.72%,54.54% and 22.73%,respectively,while those in the control group were 81.82%,45.45%,18.18%,and 0%,respectively.Survival analysis showed the survival time for the experimental group was significantly longer than that of the control group (30.00 months vs 14.00 months,P=0.010).Conclusion:Stereotactic radiation therapy combined with temozolomide for recurrent glioma is effective,and it has positive effect on improving the clinical efficacy and survival rate for the patients.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases and public health problems. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can rapidly, effectively and sustainably improve glycemic control in morbidly obese patients with T2DM. However, the mechanisms of glycemic control after RYGB are still unclear now. Duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) is an improved RYGB sparing intact stomach, which is mainly used to investigate the mechanisms of RYGB to treat T2DM. DJB has also been used to treat non-obese T2DM patients. In the present article, we review the results and mechanisms of DJB to treat T2DM on the basis of the previous studies to further elucidate the mechanisms of RYGB in the management of T2DM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the different expressions of ER and ER gene status between primary and relapsed/metastatic lesions and their clinical significance.
METHODSER and ER gene status of primary and relapse/metastatic breast cancer masked in 70 metastatic breast cancer patients were assessed by determination of methylation status by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP), respectively.
RESULTSPositive rate of ER in the primary breast cancers was 64.3%, and in the relapse/metastatic lesions was 41.4% (P < 0.05). There were six patients whose positive ER status was changed to negative, among them the ER gene status was changed from demethylation to hypermethylation in four cases. Another four patients with negative ER status changed to positive, and their ER gene hypermethylation changed to ER demethylation status.
CONCLUSIONSThe discordance of ER expression status in primary and relapse/metastatic lesions of breast cancer might be related to DNA methylation status.

BACKGROUNDBariatric surgery offers a productive resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The development of T2DM vasculopathy is due to chronic inflammation, which increases matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) expression. This study sought to examine MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression in the thoracic aorta after duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery on a T2DM rat model induced by a high-fat diet and low dose streptozotocin (STZ).
METHODSTwenty-one T2DM Wistar rats induced by high-fat diet and low dose STZ were randomly divided into DJB and sham duodenal-jejunal bypass (S-DJB) groups. Ten Wistar rats were fed a normal diet as a control. Recovery of gastrointestinal function post-operation and resumption of a normal diet completed the experiment. Body weight, blood glucose, blood lipid levels, and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression levels in aortic endothelial cells were measured throughout.
RESULTSDJB rats showed significant weight loss 2 weeks post-operation compared with S-DJB rats. After surgery, DJB rats showed significant improvement and steady glycemic control with improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. They also exhibited improved lipid metabolism with a decrease in fasting free fatty acids (FFAs) and triglycerides (all P < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed decreased MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression 12 weeks after surgery (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSDJB surgery on an induced T2DM rat model improves blood glucose levels and lipids, following a high-fat diet and low dose STZ treatment. In addition, DJB decreased MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression in vascular endothelial cells, which may play an important role in delaying the development of T2DM vascular disease.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between the level of thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT)/α2-plasmin inhibitor-plasmin complex (PIC) and the utilization rate of mechanical ventilation (MV) in critically ill patients. 【Methods】 For the cross-sectional study, adult patients who had been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for one day or longer and had a record of the first four tests for thrombosis were enrolled. Age, gender, the results of TAT and PIC, disseminated intravascular coagulation score, treatment, and diagnostic information were retrospectively collected from the hospital information system and laboratory information system. Logistic regression model was used to explore the relationship between TAT/PIC and the MV utilization rate. Interaction analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore whether there was any difference between patients with different age and gender, patients with/without DIC, and with/without infection. 【Results】 A total of 1 176 patients were enrolled in this study. The median of the first TAT/PIC was 15.84 (8.13-33.11) in all the patients. The multivariable Logistic regression model results showed that for every 5 increase in TAT/PIC, the possibility of using MV increased by 2.9% (OR=1.029, 95% CI: 1.008-1.050), and the possibility of using MV in Q3 patients was 1.566 times than that in Q1 patients (OR=1.566, 95% CI: 1.095-2.239); the possibility of using MV in Q4 patients was 2.457 times than that in Q1 patients (OR=2.457, 95% CI: 1.694-3.563). Interaction results showed that the relationship between the level of TAT/PIC and MV usage was different in patients with and without infection (P
