Objective To explore the clinical trait and relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in Uygurs women with breast cancer of Xinjiang. Methods The clinicopathological data of 74 cases with breast cancer of Uygurs women were analyzed, multivariate analysis was done by COX proportional hazard model. Results 74 cases have followed up: there-year and five-year survival rates were 75.00 %(48/64) and 43.50 %(20/46)respectively. Multivariable COX regression revealed that patient age, menstruation, status of involved lymph node, TNM and the expression of PR were five important and independent prognostic factors for breast cancer of Uygurs women, the hazard rations of these factors were 0.037, 0.103, 13.851, 18.877, and 0.046, respectively. Conclusions The proportion of breast cancer of Uygurs women was low in patient of Xinjiang, but patient age was young, age of onset were more than half between 36 and 50 years old and mainly belong to Ⅱ, Ⅲ stage of TNM, prognosis was poorly. Patient age, menstruation, status of involved lymph node, TNM and the expression of PR serve as independent prognostic indexes of breast cancer of Uygurs women. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to improve the survival rate of breast cancer patients

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic value of the ratio of androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) and androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer.Methods:One hundred and five prostate cancer patients treated by castration therapy were selected in this study in People′s Hospital of Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province from March 2013 to March 2018. The expression of AR and AR-V7 in biopsy specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between AR, AR-V7, AR-V7/AR and prognosis of patients was analyzed. Cox regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting prognosis of prostate cancer.Results:The positive rate of AR expression was 59.0% (62/105), and the positive rate of AR-V7 expression was 19.0% (20/105). The patients were followed up for 15 to 61 (44.8 ± 10.1) months. The progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in AR-V7 positive patients were significantly shorter than those in AR-V7 negative patients: (10.8 ± 2.2) months vs. (25.0 ± 3.4) months and (20.3 ± 5.1) months vs. (42.8 ± 7.4) months, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The PFS and OS in high AR-V7/AR expression patients were significantly shorter than those in low AR-V7/AR expression patients: (12.5 ± 3.2) months vs. (24.9 ± 5.5) months and (22.5 ± 4.6) months vs. (42.1 ± 8.3) months, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). In multivariate Cox regression analyses, T4 stage (HR = 2.618, 95% CI 1.362 to 4.986, P<0.01) and high AR-V7/AR ( HR = 5.799, 95% CI 2.541 to 13.253, P<0.01) could effectively and independently predict the prognosis of hormonal therapy. Conclusions:AR-V7 positive and high AR-V7/AR prostate cancer patients treated by castration therapy may have shorter PFS and OS, compared with AR-V7 negative and low AR-V7/AR patients. High AR-V7/AR is the independent predictor of the prognosis of prostate cancer.

Objective To compare the molluscicidal effects between“Luo-wei”(TDS),a plant molluscicide in 4 percent, and metaldehyde and niclosamide(MNSC)in the field. Methods A natural ecological environment with Oncomelania hupensis was selected as the test area,the test concentrations of TDS and MNSC were 2.5 g/m3 and 2 ml/m3 respectively by the immersion method;the test doses of TDS and MNSC were 3 g/m2 and 2 ml/m2 respectively by the spray method;the doses of WPN in a control group were 2 g/m3 and 2 g/m2 respectively by the two methods above-mentioned. The molluscicidal effects between TDS and MNSC were compared by using the synchronous design method and parallel comparative method. Results In the TDS group,the death rate of snails was 90.70%by immersion for 24 hours,reached to 81.40%after spraying for 7 days,and there were no significant differences among the observation time points in molluscicidal effects(P>0.05). One day after the spraying,the death rate of snails was less in the TDS group compared with that in the MSCN group(P<0.01),but the death rates of snails were similar in both groups 3 days after the spraying(P>0.05). In the MSCN group,the death rate of snails was 99.17%by immersion for 24 hours,reached to 66.07% by spraying for 1 day. In the WPS group,the death rate of snails was 97.15% by immersion for 24 hours,reached to 71.43%after spraying for 1 day,and there were no significant differences(both P>0.05). Conclusion TDS has a good molluscicidal activity and stable efficacy,and the molluscicidal effect of TDS is similar to that of MSCN in the filed, but the molluscicidal sensitivity of TDS is lower than that of MSCN.

A puerpera with a obstetric history of gravida 2, para 2, underwent blood typing due to the presence of agglutination reactions in her serum against all tested red blood cells. She was found to be blood type O and her RhD phenotype was identified as CcDEe through serological testing. The reaction agglutination intensity between her serum and 26 O-type blood cells from the panel was 2+. Whole genome sequencing was performed, yielding data on 4014 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 958 insertion/deletion (INDEL) loci across 50 genes responsible for encoding blood group systems. Among these, only a single SNP , rs72552713 was predicted to be a highly harmful variant, which is the c.376C>T variation in the ABCG2 gene encoding JR blood group antigen, leading to the premature stop codon (p.Gln126Ter). The c.376C>T variation has been named the ABCG2*01N.01 by the working party on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology of International Society of Blood Transfusion. The postpartum woman was found to have the Jr(a-) phenotype. Whole genome sequencing can accurately determine the antigens of blood group systems in some difficult specimens.

【Objective】 To explore the influence of anti-HLA-Ⅰ with different mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on the efficacy of HLA-A and -B gene matching platelet transfusion, so as to provide scientific data for clinical platelet gene matching transfusion strategy. 【Methods】 A total of 81 PTR patients had applied for HLA-Ⅰgene matched platelets from the platelet gene database established by our laboratory, and 28 (MFI <5 000) of them needed further avoiding of partial donor-specific antibodies and they were enrolled as the research subjects. According to the platelet MFI value of HLA-Ⅰ antibody-targeting antigen, they were divided into negative transfusion group (MFI <500) (group A) and positive transfusion groups (MFI≥500) ; the latter were further divided into group B (500≤MFI <1 000), group C (1 000≤MFI <3 000) and group D (MFI≥3 000) according to MFI value. Corrected count increment (CCI) in platelet count was used to compare the platelet transfusion effect in 4 groups. 【Results】 Among 28 platelet recipients with MFI <5 000, 19(67.86%) patients successfully received 72 effective transfusions. The first CCI (×109/L) in groups A, B, C and D were 10.27±7.46, 7.58±4.75 (P>0.05), 17.36±7.63 (P>0.05) and -0.77±2.30 (P<0.05), respectively. There was no statistical difference among group A, B and C. 【Conclusion】 The application of HLA-Ⅰ gene matching platelets in PTR patients can adjust the MFI threshold(<2 000) appropriately according to the patient′s condition without compromising the platelet transfusion effect.

【Objective】 To analyze the specificity of HLA class-Ⅰ antibody in the patients received HLA-matched platelet transfusions and estimate the relative immunogenicity of HLA-Ⅰ antigens. 【Methods】 The samples from 96 patients who suffered from platelet transfusion refractorines(PTR) and applied for transfusion with genotype-matched platelet were collected. The specificity of HLA I antibody was detected by Luminex technique, and the antibody expression level was analyzed according to MFI. The mismatch rate of HLA antigen and relative immunogenicity of the population were estimated according to the allele frequency distribution of HLA-A and B loci as well as the yielding frequency of antibody. 【Results】 HLA-Ⅰ antibodies were detected in all 96 patients, with varied species of antibodies. The average positive yielding rates of antibodies corresponding to HLA-A, -B and -C magnetic bead coated antigens (97 in total) were 0.38, 0.47 and 0.28, respectively. Among the HLA-A and -B loci in the Zhejiang population, HLA-A2, A11, A24 and HLA-B60, B46, B58 were the antigens with higher frequency, and their relative immunogenicity was 0.403, 0.283, 0.342, and 0.100, 0.067, 0.178, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The specificity of HLA-Ⅰ antibodies in PTR patients is different, which confirms that the relative immunogenicity differs by HLA-A and -B antigens.
