Background and purpose:Pathogenic gene polymorphism may affect the function of gene, leading to the difference of individual tumor susceptibility and heterogeneity of bioactive substances in individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrelationship betweenHER-2 gene polymorphism and its protein expression, and to evaluate their association with the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer.Methods:The data from a total number of 303 female breast cancer patients of Han ethnicity were collected. The MassARRAY platform was used to examineHER-2 gene rs2517954 and rs2517955 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Meanwhile immunohistochemistry was used to detect HER-2 protein expression and corresponding estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), P53 and Ki-67 expressions in breast cancer tissues. Pearson chi-square test was used to study the relationship of the two loci and the protein expression, and their correlation with clinicopathological features of breast cancer was analyzed.Results:Under the codominant model,HER-2 gene rs2517954 and rs2517955 loci polymorphisms were associated with its protein expression (χ2=9.613,P=0.008;χ2=9.613,P=0.008). And under the dominant model,HER-2 gene rs2517955 loci TT homozygous and CT heterozygous mutant was associated with its protein expression (χ2=8.894,P=0.003). There were no signiifcant correlations betweenHER-2 gene rs2517954, and rs2517955 loci polymorphisms, and breast cancer patients’ clinical stage, tumor size, histological grade, lymph node metastasis, ER, PR, Ki-67 and P53 expressions (P>0.05).Conclusion:HER-2 gene rs2517955 loci polymorphism is correlated with its protein expression. Further studies may be helpful to elucidate the mechanism of HER-2 protein expression in breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the similarity of dissolution curves between generic preparations and reference prepara-tions of Bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets in various dissolution mediums,and to provide reference for improving production technolo-gy and internal quality of generic preparations. METHODS:Paddle method was adopted with rotation speed of 75 r/min. The disso-lution test was performed using 1000 mL pH 6.0 phosphate buffer solution,pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution,water containing 2% sodium lauryl sulfate. HPLC method was used to determine average accumulative dissolution of main components from 3 kinds of generic preparations and reference preparations at different time points to draw out dissolution curves. Similarity factor(f2)meth-od was used to the similarity of dissolution curves. RESULTS:Dissolution curves of reference preparations were basically the same in 3 kinds of dissolution mediums. But the dissolution curve f2 of one generic preparation among 3 manufactures to dissolution curve of reference preparation were ≥50,namely the similarity. CONCLUSIONS:The quality of generic Bisacodyl enteric-coat-ed tablets produced by different manufacturers is obviously different;the generic preparations needs to be further improved in the production technology and internal quality. For domestic generic preparation,it is necessary to strengthen the real-time monitoring of its dissolution curve,to ensure the drug quality.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin for benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ) with overactive bladder ( OAB ).Methods82 patients with OAB and coexisting BPH were randomly divided into tamsulosin group ( n = 38 ) and combination group ( n = 44). The ages were from 50 to 75 y ( averaged, 56.8 ± 8.6). Inclusion criteria: the mean frequency of micturition ≥8 times per day, the frequency of nocturia ≥2 times per day, voiding volume <200 ml each time; for the overactive bladder symptom score ( OA BSS), the 3 rd score > 2, total score > 3. The tamsulosin group accepted tamsulosin 0.2 mg once daily, the combination group accepted tansulouxin 0.2 mg and solifenacin 0.2 mg once daily. Both groups were maintained the corresponding therapy for 12 weeks.The international prostate symptom score (IPSS), Qmax, residual urine volume, OAB score and adverse reactions were recorded.ResultsThe values of IPSS ( 19.5 ±2.2 vs 15.6 ±2.4, P =0.027), the voiding symptom score ( 15.6 ± 2.4 vs 3.4 ± 1. 7, P = 0. 022) and Qmax ( 13.7 ± 3.8 vs 16.6 ± 4.1, P = 0. 034 )improved significantly after treatment in tamsulosin group ( P < 0. 05 ). The values of IPSS ( 19.7 ± 2.3 vs 9.7 ± 3.0, P <0. 001), the storage symptom score (13.8 ± 1.9 vs 5.6 ± 1.6, P <0. 001 ), OABSS (10.3 ±1.8 vs 5.3 ±1.3, P <0.001) and Qmax(14.1 ±4.1 vs 17.2 ±3.5, P=0.027) also improved significantly after treatment in combination group ( P < 0. 05 ). The values of IPSS ( 9.7 ± 3.0 vs 15.6 ±2.4, P < 0.001 ), the storage symptom score (5.6 ± 1.6 vs 12.0 ± 1.6, P < 0.001 ) and OABSS ( 5.3 ±1.3 vs 9.7 ± 2.7, P < 0. 001 ) improved significantly in combination group than those in tamsulosin group ( P <0.001 ). There were no difference between two groups in values of the voiding symptom score, Qmax and residual urine volume ( P > 0.05 ). The incidences of adverse reactions in tamsulosin group and combination group were 7.9% (3/38) and 20.5% (9/44) without significant difference. There was no acute urinary retention in both groups.ConclusionsIt is effective and safe for patients with BPH and OAB to accept combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin.

Objective To study the correlation between the expressions of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in intestinal epithe-lial and inflammatory cells of lamina propria and the staging and pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods The pathomorphological changes of 25 samples of UC in the active phase and remission phase and 25 samples of control were ob-served under microscope. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemistry SP method. The correlations between expressions of Bcl-2, Caspase-3 and UC staging were analyzed. Results There were no significant dif-ferences in expressions of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in intestinal epithelial cells between three groups (P>0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 in inflammatory cells of lamina propria was significantly higher in active UC group than that of normal control group (P<0.05), no significant difference between UC remission group and normal control group (P>0.05). There was a higher positive expression of Caspase-3 in inflammatory cells of lamina propria in UC remission group. There was correlation be-tween Bcl-2, Caspase-3 and UC staging (r=0.371 and 0.4453 respectively). Conclusion The expression levels of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 were related with pathogenesis of UC. The detection of expression levels of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 has a cer-tain application value in UC staging.
