Objective To investigate the relationship between miR-411 and breast cancer,and the expression of miR-411 and its effects and mechanism research on proliferation and metastasis in breast cancer.Methods Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR411 in breast cancer cells and tissues.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT),clone formation assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the effect of miR-411 expression on the proliferation,migration and invasion in breast cancer cells.The effect of miR-411 on growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) expression in breast cancer cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The direct effect of miR-411 target on GRB2 was detected by dual luciferase reporter assay.MTT,clone formation assay and Transwell assay detect the effect of GRB2 expression on the proliferation and invasion in breast cancer cells.Detection the effect high expression of miR-411 on GRB2 downstream signaling pathway related molecules expression in breast cancer cell with Western blot.Results The expression of miR-411 in breast cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P < 0.05).The expression of miR-411 in breast cancer cells SK-BR-3,BT-549 and MDA-MB-231 was significantly lower (P < 0.05).Compared to the negative control group,the transfection of miR-411 mimic inhibited the proliferation,migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Targetscan showed that miR-411 could bind to GRB2 3'UTR at position 741-747.Compared with the negative control group,GRB2 3'UTR wild-type plasmid and miR-411 co-transfection reduced the fluorescence activity (P < 0.05).Transfection of siGRB2 significantly reduced the expression of GRB2 protein in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Compared to the negative control group,the inhibition of GRB2 expression reduced the proliferation and the number of colony formation of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Transwell assay showed that transfection of siGRB2 significantly reduced the number of invasive cells in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Conclusions miR-411 is related closely to the occurrence and development of breast cancer,miR-411-GRB2-Ras axis is expected to become a new target for biological treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To explore the management of perioperative period on the effect of alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation were reviewed.The location and time of alimentary tract fistulas,and perioperative period of patients were analyzed.Results Of the 25 patients,13 cases(52.0%) were anastomotic fistulas,1 case(4.0%) was bile fistula,2 cases (8.0%) were pancreatic fistulas,4 cases (16.0%) were small intestinal fistulas,and 3 case (12.0%) were duodenal stump fistulas,1 case (4.0%) was anastomotic and duodenal stump fistula,1 case (4.0%) was small intestinal and duodenal stump fistula.The alimentary tract fistulas generally occurred within the first or second week after gastric cancer operation.The incidence rate of gastrointestinal leakage was 64.0% in gastric cancer with diabetes patients,56.0% in gastric cancer with elderly patients,40.0% in gastric cancer with anemia patients,36.0% in gastric cancer with hypoproteinemia patients,16.0% in gastric cancer with multivisceral excisions.21 cases of gastrointestinal leakage were healed after conservative treatment.2 cases with gastrointestinal leakage by operation treatment were healed.2 patients died,one died of intra-abdominal hemorrhage,one case died of MODF.Conclusion Strengthening the management of patients with alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation can promote the healing of fistula in perioperative period.

Objective To study the diagnostic and predictive values of amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients presenting acute dyspnea. Method A total of 533 patients with dyspnea were studied. According to the clinical characteristics and echocardiographic findings, the patients were divided into two groups, namely acute congestive heart failure group (ACHF) and non-ACHF group. NT-proBNP levels were assayed in all patients in order to evaluate the diagnostic value, and predictive value in patients of ACHF group by following up study to know the clinical destination of patients to be cardiac death or re-admission into hospital. Results There were 272 ACHF patients and 261 non-ACHF patients, and the levels of NT-proBNT were significantly different between two groups ( 2683.4±86.9) pg/mL vs. (238.6+8.7) pg/mL, P<0.01) . A total of 220 patients were followed for 158 ±32. 8 days. The level of NT-proBNT in myocardium of patients in re-admission group was 2683 + 86. 9 pg/mL and in death group was 3283.4 + 105.7 pg/mL which both were higher than that in patients without cardiac events ( 1123. 5 + 72. 1 pg/mL) ( P <0. 01 ) . By using multivariate Cox analysis, log NT-proBNT was ( r = 0. 987, P = 0. 002), and atrial fibrillation (r = 0. 876, P = 0. 005 ) and ventriculat tachycardia ( r=0. 891, P =0. 005) were the valid predictors of cardiac events. Conclusions Routine determination of NT-proBNT in Emergency Department should be useful for quickly sorting patients with acute dyspnea. The NT-proBNT could be used as a good prognostic indicator of ACHF. In addition, log NT-proBNT and atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia were the independent risk factors of cardiac events.
