Objective To investigate the expression and sensitivity of 6 muhidmg resistance gene products(MDR) : GST-π、LRP、MRP、Topo Ⅱ、P-gp、TS in gastric cancer during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Expression of the 6 muhidrug resistance gene was detected by immunohistoehemistry in 35 cases of stomach cancer tissues before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The relationship between muhidrug resistance gene and neoadjuvant chemotherapy was analyzed. All patients were given FOLFOX4, and the effects were evaluated according to World Health Organization criteria. Results The overall response rates to chemotherapy was 46%, expression of the 6 mtdtidrug resistance gene in 35 cases of stomach cancer tissues were as follows:GST-π was 40% ,LRP was 69% ,MRP was 34% ,Topo Ⅱ was 37% ,P-gp was 86%, TS was 40%, expression of the 6 muhidrug resistance gene did not change during neoadjuvant chemotherapy; GST-π、LRP、MRP、Topo Ⅱ、P-gp were not correlated with chemotherapy sensitivity(P > 0.05), while TS was significantly correlated with chemotherapy sensitivity (P = 0.0048). Conclusion FOLFOX4 does not effect a change in the expression of the 6 muhidrug resistance gene: GST-π、LRP、MRP、Topo Ⅱ、P-gp and TS, while TS is significantly correlated with gastric cancer chemotherapy sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma homocysteine with the genotype distribution of MTHFR and MTRR among Chinese Han women in Xiangtan. Methods MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G geno?typing was analyzed to detect the distribution of gene polymorphisms among 1 701 women from Xiangtan city then the data were compared with the rest of the Han women in Zibo, Zhengzhou, Yantai, Zhenjiang, Songzi, Huizhou, Qionghai. Plasma Hcy levels from 110 patients were measured and analyzed the correlation with gene polymorphisms. Results The frequency of MTHFR C677T genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 12.6%which is higher than Huizhou (10.9%) and Qionghai (6.1%) but lower than Zibo (43.6%), Zhengzhou (36.8%), Yantai (32.2%), Zhenjiang (21.8%) with statistically significant dif?ference (P<0.05). There is no significant different in MTHFR C677T between Xiangtan and Songzi. The frequency of MTH?FR A1298C genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 4.8%which is lower than Qionghai(7.1%)but higher than Zibo (1.4%),Zhengzhou(2.4%), Yantai(1.8%), Zhenjiang(3.5%)and Songzi(2.6%)with statistically significant difference. The frenquency of MTRR A66G genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 6.8%which is higher than Zibo (4.8%) but lower than Qionghai (9.3%) with statistically signifcant difference. Plasma Hcy concentration correlate with MTHFR C677T, Hcy concentration in TT population is higher than that in CT and CC population(μmol/L:8.52±2.01 vs 5.94±1.47 vs 5.71± 0.18);Plasma Hcy concentration also correlate with MTHFR A1298C and Hcy concentration in CC population is higher than AA and AC population(μmol/L:9.83 ± 2.26 vs 6.35 ± 2.13 vs 5.55 ± 1.75);Plasma Hcy concentration does not correlate with MTRR A66G. Conclusion The gene polymorphism of MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G among the Han women in Xiangtan was statistically different from other selected regions of China. Mutation in MTHFR C 677T and A1298C were associated with elevated plasma levels of Hcy.

Objective:
To investigate the associations between behavioral risk factors and overweight or obesity among schoolage children and adolescents in Shanghai, and to provide a reference for making targeted prervention and control measures for overweight and obesity.
Methods:
A total of 11 913 children and adolescents aged 9-18 years old were selected according to 2014 Shanghai Physical Fitness and Health Surveillance. Questionnaire survey and physical examination including height, weight and other physical index were performed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between overweight or obesity and sleep time, diet, physical exercise and sedentary behavior
Results:
The prevalence of overweight or obesity was higher among boys who slept longer than or equal to 10 hours(36.7%), compared with those with less than 8 hours of sleep(31.3%)(P<0.01). The rates of overweight or obesity in girls was higher among breakfast skippers(36.4%) than breakfast nonskippers(17.6%)(P<0.05). The prevalence of overweight or obesity was higher among pupils who did not like physical education(38.2%) than those who preferred(30.8%)(P<0.01). The prevalence of overweight or obesity among junior middle school students playing video games and computer over 2 hours(28.1%) was higher than those playing less than 1 hours(23.0%)(P<0.05). Unwilling to participate in longdistance running exercise, watching TV more than 1h per day were risk factors for overweight or obesity(OR=1.16, 95%CI:1.05-1.27; OR=1.22, 95%CI:1.05-1.43, respectively).Girls who were breakfast nonskippers had a lower risk of overweight or obesity (OR=0.33, 95%CI:0.16-0.67). Students in urban areas who watch TV more than 1h per day was risk factor for overweight or obesity(OR=1.36, 95%CI:1.07-1.74). Students in rural areas who slept longer than 10 hours had an increased risk of being overweight or obese (OR=2.0, 95%CI:1.23-3.25). Pupils who played video games and computers for more than 2 hours had an increased risk of being overweight or obese(OR=1.45, 95%CI:1.01-2.08).
Conclusion
In 2014, overweight or obesity among Shanghai’s primary and middle school students was highly interconnected with bad dietary behavior, static life style, and the distribution of factors shows obvious population characteristics.

ObjectiveTo investigate theeffectof expression of excision repair cross complementing 1(ERCC1) on adjuvant chemotherapy and prognnsis in advanced gastric cancer.MethodsIn this study 88 advanced gastric cancer cases were divided into initial neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (45 patients) and upfront surgical group (43 cases).In neoadjuvant chemotherapy group two courses neoadjuvant chemotherapy with XELOX were given before an interval standard radical gastrectomy.Postoperatively another four cycles of chemotherapy with XELOX were given; In upfront surgical group standard radical gastrectomy was done followed by 6 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy with XELOX;Patients in the two groups were followed up for 3 years.ResultsERCC1positive expression were 49% and 44% in neoadjuvant group and surgical patients; Response rate in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was 49%.Patients with ERCClnegative expression were more sensitive to chemotherapy (P <0.05 ); 3-year recurrence-free survival rate in patients with ERCC1negative expression was 64%,which was significantly higher than 30% in patients with positive expression,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05 ) ;3-year recurrence-free survival rate in initial surgical group patients with ERCCl-negative expression was 79%,significantly higher than in patients with positive expression (38%),the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05) ; Cox regression analysis revealed that ERCC1expression is closely related to 3-year disease-free survival ( P < 0.05 ). ConclusionsERCC1expression in patients with advanced gastric cancer is related to chemosensitivity and prognosis,it can forecast the prognosis and chemotherapy sensitivity.

Objective To compare the clinical outcome of internal fixation(IF)and total hip arthroplasty (THA)for the elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fracture. Methods A total of 128 patients with dis-placed femoral neck fracture admitted from January 2010 to December 2012 were selected and divided into IF group(61 cases)and THA group(67 cases). The operation and hospitalization index were compared between the 2 groups. All patients underwent follow-ups after operation. The functional recovery scale for hip fracture (FRS) and EQ-5D index were applied to evaluate the clinical outcomes periodically. Results Compared to THA group, the intraoperative trauma ,operation time and bed days were less in IF group(P<0.05),however the incidence of complication in IF group was higher than that in THA group. All the patients were followed up more than 3 years and mortality rate between the 2 groups showed no significant difference(P>0.05). Follow-ups at all time points revealed hip function in THE group is better than that in IF group(P<0.05),while no significant difference was found in terms of life quality(P > 0.05). Within 3 years,the costs related to fracture were 41772 yuan for IF group and 61174 yuan for THA group respectively. Conclusion Both internal fixation and total hip arthroplasty can provide satisfactory outcome for elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fracture. Compared with IF ,THA causes bigger trauma and costs more ,but ends up with lower complication incidences ,and improve hip function in a shorter period.
