Objective To explore the correlation of S100 protein with the prognosis of patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Methods Analyzed the clinical data about 108 patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma managed with surgery from January 2009 to June 2014. All patients were followed up. Patients were divided into S100-positive group(58 patients) and S100-negative group (50 patients) according to the immunohistochemical staining results. The overall survival time and all clinical data between two group were compared. Results All patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma received radical surgical resection for the first time. The overall 5-year recurrence rate were 88.9%(96/108), and the median recurrence time was 32.7 months. The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year recurrence rates of the S100- positive group were 25.9% (15/58), 53.4% (31/58), 96.6% (56/58), respectively, and the median recurrence time were 26.2 mouths. The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year recurrence rates of the S100-negative group were 10.0%(5/50), 36%(18/50), 80.0%(40/50) and the median recurrence time were 40.0 mouths. Log-rank test showed that S100 protein expression was significantly associated with postoperative recurrence rates (c2=9.931, P=0.002) and survival time (c2=4.571, P = 0.033). The difference between gender, age, removal of the joint organs and tumor size showed no statistical significance on disease special survival (P>0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that S100 protein expression (OR=1.582, 95%CI:1.005-2.491) and histologic subtype (OR=1.531, 95%CI: 1.254-1.870) were independent risk factors of the prognosis of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma patients. Conclusions S100 protein played a critical role in retroperitoneal liposarcoma carcinogenesis and its expression may be used as a potential survival predictor in patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

OBJECTIVE:To standardize periooperative prophylactic application of antibiotics. METHODS:According to the characteristics of orthopaedic and parenchyma surgery,classifying evaluation table of typeⅠincision infection risk was designed sci-entifically and rationally. The individual application of antibiotics in surgery patients had been achieved through infection risk evalua-tion. High risk typeⅠincision patients used antibiotics rationally and low risk patients seldom used or didn’t use at all. RESULTS:Through using infection risks classifying table,the rate of antibiotics prophylactic application in typeⅠincision drops from 74.10%to 28.68%,and and the per capita duration of antibiotics prophylactic application shortened from 4.23 d to 2.21 d. The postopera-tive infection rate remained the same. CONCLUSIONS:Through infection risk classifying evaluation,individual application of anti-biotics can be achieved in surgery patients,so as to promote rational use of antibiotics for prophylactic use,reduce antibiotics dos-age and antibiotics abuse under the condition of controllable surgery infection.

Objective To compare the effect of different partition of nucleic acid protein complex on the affinity of enriched library in systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Methods Two protocols were adopted to select the enriched library to transforming growth factor ? receptor Ⅱ(TGF ? RⅡ). Protocol 1: protein was absorbed on the surface of 96 well plate; then, selection was carried out; the binding nucleotide acids were eluted from the supporter directly. Protocol 2: selection was done in solution; nucleotide acid protein complex was captured in nitrocellulose membrane; the binding nucleotide acids were obtained from membrane. Filter biding assay and gel shift assay were performed to detect the affinity of the enriched ssDNA library from different protocols. Results After 4 rounds of selection, the affinity to TGF ? RⅡ was obviously improved in the enriched library from protocol 2 compared with the initial library, while no such improvement was found in the enriched library from protocol 1. Conclusion In the SELEX experiment, the way of selection in solution, then partition of the binding nucleotide acids in filter is easier to enrich the binding fragment from initial ssDNA random library, compared with the way of fixation of target protein to solid supporter, then selection between the solid phase and liquid phase and elution of the binding nucleotide acids from supporter.

Objective:To explore and test a caregiving experience model by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)in the family caregivers caring for people with dementia in China. Method:Totally 349 elder patients with dementia and their family caregivers were selected and interviewed,using a battery of measures including demo-graphic data of the dyads,impairement of care recipient,caregiver's appraisal of role strain,role gain,negative and positive well-being outcomes. By using the Kramer's caregiver adaptation model as theoretical framework,a care-giving experience model were hypothesized tested by structural equation modeling (SEM). Result:A five-factor model for the caregiving experience was supported by SEM. The model demonstrated that the severity of dementia significantly influenced the caregiver's appraisal of role strain (β=0. 5 1 ,P<0. 05 ),which predicted indirectly neg-ative well-being outcomes of the caregiver (β=0. 63,P<0. 05). On the other hand the caregiver's appraisal of rolegain which was negatively influenced by the severity of parent's dementia (β=-0. 33,P<0. 05),predicted posi-tive well-being outcomes of the caregiver (β=0. 75 ,P<0. 05 ). Conclusion:It suggests that both positive and nega-tive aspects of caregiving experiences could independently impact on the well-being outcomes of adult-child care-givers,and therefore both aspects should be targeted in supportive interventions for family caregivers in China.

Background and purpose:Ethanol has been reported to stimulate progression of breast cancer, yet the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate effects of ethyl alcohol (EtOH) on the calcium-activated neutral protease (CANP)-cyclin E/focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling and cell migration in breast cancer cells, as well as the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the EtOH-stimulated effects, in order to assess the signaling mechanism(s) underlying how EtOH enhances cancer progression.Methods:Human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was employed as a model system, with MCF-10A mammary epithelial cells as control. In vitro wound healing assay was carried out to evaluate EtOH-induced cell migration. The effects of EtOH or epidermal growth factor on the proteolysis of cyclin E/FAK were detected by Western blot. EGFR inhibitor (EGFR-I) and a speciifc inhibitor for CANP, Calpeptin, were applied to pretreat cultured cells to explore their inlfuences on the cell migration and cyclin E/FAK proteolysis triggered by EtOH.Results:Treatment of model cells with EtOH (0.3%) stimulated significant proteolysis of cyclin E/FAK in a dose-/time-dependent manner and increased migration (+47.30%,P<0.05) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, but had no signiifcant effect on migration in MCF-10A cells. Pretreatment with Calpeptin (10 μmol/L) signiifcantly reduced EtOH (0.3%)- or EGFR (10 ng/mL)-induced cyclin E/FAK truncation. EGFR-I (3 μmol/L) pro-foundly reduced EtOH-indcued CANP dependent proteolysis of CANP1 and cyclin E/FAK as well as cell migration (-53.00%,P<0.01).Conclusion:EtOH signiifcantly stimulates activation of CANP via EGFR pathway, resulting in proteolysis of cyclin E/FAK and migration in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, suggesting EGFR-CANP signaling to be a potential target for suppression of metastasis in breast cancer.
