Objective To investigate effect of compound mylabris capsules combined with neoadjuvant on efficacy and expression of Ki67,ER,PR in patients with HER2-negative breast carcinoma.Methods Eighty-one HER2 negative-breast cancer patients from the hospital were randomly divided into treatment group(41cases) and control group(40 cases) by random number table method.Control group was treated with three weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,firstly given with cyclophosphamide(CTX)600 mg/m2 +adriamycin amycin(Ad)60 mg/m2,and then next course with docetaxel(DOC) 100 mg/m2, intravenous drip for 1 h,one period per three weeks,one times per week,and for 6 periods.Patients in treatment group were additionally given with compound mylabris capsules from one day before chemotherapy,three particles per time,two times per day,seven times per period,and for another one week after chemotherapy.Score of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) symptoms,clinical efficacy,and levels of hemorheology indexs were compared.Serum levels of Ki67,ER,and PR were detected between both groups.Results Total efficacy of treatment group was recently 56.10%,which was superior to control group 30.00%(P<0.05).AT the ending of chemotherapy and 1 weeks after chemotherapy,TCM score, plasma viscosity,and high, middle and low shear of whole blood were obviously lower than control group(P<0.05).Serum level of Ki67 in treatment group was lower, while ER and PR were higher than control group at the ending of chemotherapy and 1 weeks after chemotherapy with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Conclusion Compound mylabris capsules combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in treating breast carcinoma with HER2 negative can decrease TCM symptoms, improve blood viscosity and clinical efficacy,and inhibit expression of Ki67 and up-regualte ER and PR levels.

Objective To study the influence of 4-aminopyridine(4-AP)on proliferation,production,and apoptosis through inhibiting voltage-gated K+channel(Kv)in ovarian luteinized granulosa cells.nethods Ovarian luteinized granulosa cells were recovered from 25 women with regular menses who underwent in vitro fertilization programme.The cultured granulosa cells were divided into 4 groups:blank group,4-AP treated group,human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG)-induced group and hCG+4-AP cotreated group.The final concentrations of hCG and 4-AP were 1250 U/L and 5 nmol/L respectively.The progesterone production WaS detected by the chemoluminescence method.The expression of Kv mRNA on human ovarian luteinized granulosa cell was detected by RT.PCR The influence on the early apoptosis of gTanulosa cells bv 4-AP was observed by flow eytometry.Cellular caSpage-3 activities were observed with colorimetric method and the inhibition of the cell proliferation was studied using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)method.Results(1)Kv mRNA wag expressed in granulosa cell.(2)The progesterone production64),(206±32),(1991±172)and(763±79)nmol/L,respectively after24 hours culture.Exposure of the(3)The flow cytometry analysis and the cellular caapase-3 A405 showed that 4-AP increased the percentage ofearly phase apoptosis(P<0.01):4-AP treated group VS blank group[(40±5)%and 0.049 ±0.009]VS[(17±4)% and 0.029±0.008],hCG+4-AP CO-treated group VS hCG-induced group[(25±4)%and0.039 ±0.0081 VS[(15±3)%and 0.022 ±0.007].(4)24 hours after treated with 4-AP and hCG,theinhibitory rate of cultured granulosa cells of 4-AP treated group was higher than the blank group(19.7%VS0).and that of hCG+4-AP co-treated group was obviously higher than hCG-induced group(34.6% VS O,P<0.01).Conclusions The voltage-gated K+ channels expressed by ovarian luteinized granulosa cellplay an important role in cell proliferation,production,and apoptosis.4-AP may inhibit differentiation ofprogesterone in granulosa ceHs through the inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis.

Objective: To prepare a nanoprobe, anti-human melanoma ganglioside single chain variable fragment (GD/ScFvMEL) antibody conjugated with CdTe quantum dot, and to observe its ability to specifically bind human malignant melanoma cells. Methods: The GD/ScFvMEL gene was cloned into pET32a (+), and the plasmid was then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for GD/ScFvMEL protein antibody expression. The expressed GD/ScFvMEL antibody was purified by denaturing method and further refolded by modified dialysis method. The purified GD/ScFvMEL antibody was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe was prepared by conjugating GD/ScFvMEL antibody with CdTe quantum dot, and its specificity was observed by incubating with MGC-803 cells and melanoma A375 cells. Results: The recombinant pET32a-GD/ScFvMEL was constructed and confirmed by PCR, restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. The proportion of expressed GD/ScFvMEL antibody in total bacteria proteins was about 40% as detected by SDS-PAGE. The purified- and refolded-GD/ScFvMEL antibody was effectively conjugated with CdTe quantum dot, and the resulting GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe was successfully prepared. The GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe could specifically bind melanoma A375 cells, but could not bind stomach cancer MGC-803 cells. Conclusion: We have successfully prepared an anti-human melanoma ganglioside single-chain antibody-CdTe quantum dot nanoprobe, which can specifically bind melanoma cells.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter-related infections are important risk factors for catheter loss and peritonitis. 2023 International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) catheter-related infection recommendations have revised and clarified definitions and classifications of exit site infection and tunnel infection, such as cause-specific catheter-related infection, culture-negative catheter-related infection, refractory catheter-related infection, and infection- related catheter removal. A new target for the exit site infection rate should not exceed 0.40 episodes per year at risk. The recommendation about topical antibiotic cream or ointment to catheter exit site has been downgraded. New recommendations for exit site infection include clarified suggestion of exit site dressing cover and revised topical antibacterial agents as well as antibiotics treatment duration. In addition to catheter removal and reinsertion, new salvage options for catheter are suggested. The paper outlines the updated main content of the guide.
