This article reviewed information related to the apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women. Apoptosis is related to the response and resistance to treatment in breast cancer. Here we summarized and integrated the data on apoptosis and its role in the development, prognosis, and treatment of breast cancer. Further study on apoptosis in breast cancer can help find more candidates for predictors and indices of response. Such study will also develop treatment regimens that are tailored to individual tumors and thereby maximize survival.

Identification and validation of a new target is one of the most important steps for new antituberculosis (TB) drug discovery. Researches have shown that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encodes 20 CYP450 enzymes which play important roles in the synthesis and metabolism of lipid, cholesterol utilization, and the electron transport of respiratory chain in Mtb. With the critical roles within the organism as well as the protein structures of six Mtb CYP450 enzymes being clarified, some of them have been highlighted as potential anti-tuberculosis targets. In this paper, the phylogenetic analysis, the structural features, and the enzymatic functions of Mtb CYPs, as well as the mechanism of interactions with selective inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents for the CYPs have been reviewed and summarized. The druggability of the CYPs has also been analyzed for their further utility as targets in high throughput screening and rational design of more selective inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the level of soluble interleukin 7 receptor (sIL-7R) in serum of lupus nephritis(LN)patients and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods sIL-7R level in serum of LN patients and healthy controls were measured by ELISA , while total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 of LN patients were measured by BN ProSpec. The level of sIL-7R correlation with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 were analyzed respectively. Results The levelof sIL-7R was higher in serum of LN patients than healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, its expression in serum was increased in LN patients in active stage than in LN patients in stable stage (P < 0.05). The level of sIL-7R was positively assosicated with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein(P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and negatively with complement C3 (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of sIL-7R is upregulated in serum in LN patients and correlated with disease activity and progression, so it may be expected to become a potential marker of disease in prediction.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of public health emergencies and related information in schools of Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2021, so as to provide insights into the management of public health risks in schools. Methods: The public health emergencies and related information in schools of Zhejiang Province during the period from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved from the Public Health Emergency Management Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The type, temporal distribution and regional distribution of the events and the type of schools were analyzed, and the trends in disease attack rates were evaluated. Results: A total of 1 284 public health emergencies and related information were reported in schools of Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2021, accounting for 72.34% of all public health emergencies and related information, and a total of 40 562 cases were reported, accounting for 87.72% of all cases; no death was recorded. There were 1 276 infectious disease events reported, accounting for 99.38%, and norovirus enteritis (649 cases), varicella (281 cases), influenza (181 cases), hand, foot and mouth disease (94 cases) and mumps (22 cases) were predominant infectious diseases, accounting for 95.56% of all public health emergencies and related information in schools. The number of public health emergencies and related information in schools peaked during the period between March and June (361 events, 28.12% of all events) and the period between November and December each year from 2012 to 2021 (629 events, 48.99% of all events), and the events occurred across 11 cities of Zhejiang Province, with the largest number of events reported in Hangzhou City (507 events). In addition, there were 627, 328 and 242 events reported in primary schools, kindergartens, and middle schools, accounting for 93.22%, and the events predominantly occurred in city schools. Nevertheless, there were no significant changes in the trends for attack rates of norovirus enteritis, varicella, influenza and hand, foot and mouth disease and mumps in schools of Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2021. Conclusions Norovirus enteritis, varicella, influenza, hand, foot and mouth disease and mumps were the predominant types of public health emergencies and related information in schools of Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2021, and the largest number of events were reported in primary schools.

Objective: To establish a prediction model of herpangina epidemic trend based on Baidu index and hand, foot and mouth disease, so as to provide insights into analyses of communicable disease epidemics with limited or missing surveillance data. Methods: The incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in Zhejiang Province during the period from the first week of 2015 through the 39th week of 2021 was retrieved from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Baidu index of hand, foot and mouth disease and herpangina was collected via the Baidu search engine during the same period. The correlation between the Baidu index and time series of hand, foot and mouth disease was examined using wavelet analysis. In addition, a random forest training model was created based on the Baidu index and incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease, and the fitting effectiveness was evaluated using the mean percentage error, while the Baidu index of herpangina was included in the model to predict the epidemic trend of herpangina during the study period. Results: The Baidu index of herpangina and hand, foot and mouth disease, and the Baidu index and incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease all appeared two peaks at the 26th and 52th week. The phase difference was less than 0.1 week between the Baidu index and time series of hand, foot and mouth disease, and the mean percentage error of the training model was 13.07%, with high concordance between the predicted number and actual report number of cases with hand, foot and mouth disease. The numbers of herpangina cases were predicted to be 28 822, 27 341, 28 422, 51 782, 52 457 and 5 691 from 2015 to 2020, and there were totally 48 702 herpangina cases reported until the 39th week of 2021. Like hand, foot and mouth disease, the incidence of herpangina peaked between May and July. Conclusion The random forest training model based on the Baidu index and incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease is feasible to predict the epidemic trend of herpangina.

Objective To evaluate the effects of folic acid supplement on subjects with different 5, 10-methylenetet-rahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotypes. Methods One hundred and eleven healthy women were divided into CC, CT and TT groups according to their MTHFR C677T genotypes. In each group subjects were randomly sub-divided into interven-tion (400 μg/d folic acid supplement) and control (usual diet) groups. The plasma folate, red blood cell (RBC) folate and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentration were measured at baseline and two months after intervention. Results The plasma folate was lower and the plasma Hcy was higher in the TT genotype than those in CC or CT genotypes (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). After two months of intervention, the levels of plasma folate, RBC folate concentration increased while the plasma Hcy concen-tration decreased in all three intervention groups. Although the plasma folate concentration increased the most obvious in TT genotype than that of CC and CT genotypes, P＜0.05), the plasma Hcy concentration decreased the most obvious in TT geno-type than that of CT genotype, P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the MTHFR TT genotype was a risk factor of high Hcy concentration, which was 8.078 times compared with that of CC genotype (P＜0.05). Conclusion Folic acid sup-plement can significantly increase plasma folate and red cell folate concentration, and reduce plasma Hcy concentration in all MTHFR genotypes. TT genotype was the most dangerous in disorder of folic metabolic and high Hcy concentration. However, low-dose folic acid supplement cannot reduce the risk of high Hcy concentration.

Objective To investigate the change of Th22 cells in the peripheral blood of the patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods The proportion of Th22 cells in the peripheral blood of PBC patients and healthy controls were evaluated by flow cytometry. The cytokine IL-22 of each group was measured by ELISA and ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL and CRP were measured by Automatic biochemical analyzer. The proportion of Th22 cells correlation with IL-22 , ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL and CRP were analyzed. Results The proportion of Th22 cells was higher in PBC patients than healthy controls (P < 0.05), Moreover the frequency of Th22 was increased in PBC patients with liver cirrhosis than in PBC patients with liver non-cirrhosis (P < 0.05). The level of IL-22, ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL and CRP were increased in PBC patients (P < 0.05). Moreover Th22 frequency of peripheral blood was positively associated with IL-22, ALT, AST, GGT and CRP (P < 0.05). Conclusion Th22 may be involved in the pathogenesis of and it is a potential therapy target for PBC.
