【Objective】 Selenium (Se) contents of some chemical forms as total Se,inorganic Se,organic Se and selenomethionine (SeMet) in rice e nriched-Se were determined, in order to provide scientific basis for applying r ice enriched-Se to cancer prevention. 【Methods】 Fluorometric determination wi th 2,3-diaminonaphthalene (2,3-DAN) for total Se, inorganic Se and organic Se, and with CNBr-2,3-DAN for SeMet. 【Results】 Total Se contents of rice enrich ed-Se reaping in summer and autumn were (2.71±0.97) μg/g, (9.87±1.18 ) μg/g, respectively, both higher than that of ordinary rice (P<0.001); the organic Se occupying over 99% of total Se were 2.68, 9.77 μg/g, respectively . Main component of the organic Se was SeMet, and its Se content (Se-SeMet) was (1.45±0.67) μg/g for rice enriched-Se reaping in summer, (4.96±0.98) μ g/g in autumn,and their contents/total Se contents were 53.5, 50.5 %, respecti vely. 【Conclusions】 Most part of Se in rice enriched-Se was natural organic Se and main component of the organic Se was SeMet.

ObjectiveTo study the association of SNP276 in adiponectin gene with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) complicating with the different component numbers of metabolism syndrome (MS) in population of IGR in Han people of Shanxi region.MethodsThe study population consisted of 256 subjects with IGR which was composed of 123 subjects with component numbers of MS ＜2 (IGRA) and 133subjects with component numbers of MS≥2 (IGRB),and 128 subjects with normal healthy (Normal) who were Chinese Hans residents and in Shanxi province.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was applied to test the adiponectin SNP276G/T polymorphism.ResultsThe distributions of genotypes and alleles of SNP276 both displayed significant difference among the three groups ( x2 =16.893,P =0.002 ; x2 =18.149,P =0.000).In the IGRA,the SNP276 non-TT ( GT + GG) genotype was no difference which increased risk of complicating with the different component numbers of MS( P =0.781,P =0.809).In IGRB,the SNP276 non-TT ( GT + GG) genotype was associated with increased risk of complicating with the different component numbers of MS,and after age and sex-adjusted,there was significant difference ( P =0.007,P =0.007).ConclusionsSNP276 in APM1 increased the risk of complicating with the components of MS in population with impaired glucose regulation in Han people of Shanxi region.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and their phenotypes, CD4 + TILs, CD8 + TILs and FOXP3 + TILs, in short-term prognosis (PCR) and long-term prognosis (DFS, OS) of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and to provide theoretical support for the immunotherapy of TNBC. Methods:A systematic surch of PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI was conducted to identified eligible articles. All prospective trials and observational controlled trials published before August 2020 were retrieved.The two authors independently evaluated the quality of the included literature, extracted the data, and conducted systematic evaluation and analysis using RevMan5.3 software.Results:A total of 48 literatures were included.Every 10% increase in TILs and TILs expression in the high-expression group predicted a higher PCR, OR were 1.81 (95% CI: 1.44-2.28) and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.02-1.15). For longer survival, the HR for DFS and OS were 0.99 (95% CI: 0.98-0.99) and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.86-0.94), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.79-0.96) and 0.88 (95% CI: 0.83-0.92). Phenotypic CD4 + TILs, CD8 + TILs, and FOXP3 + TILs did not show statistically significant differences in PCR among patients, but in long-term prognosis, higher infiltration predicted longer survival, with HR for DFS of 0.54 (95% CI: 0.36-0.80), 0.46(95% CI: 0.33-0.64) and 0.45(95% CI: 0.31-0.68). HR of OS were 0.49 (95% CI: 0.32-0.76), 0.59 (95% CI: 0.54-0.66) and 0.44 (95% CI: 0.27-0.71). Conclusion:The infiltration degree of TILs and the increase of TILs expression by 10% can be used as a prognostic index of TNBC.High levels of phenotypic infiltration of CD4 + TILs, CD8 + TILs, and FOXP3 + TILs predicted better long-term survival, but there was no statistically significant difference in short-term survival.

Objective To study the expression and the clinical significance of cysteine rich transmembrane BMP regulator 1 (CRIM1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and discuss the association between CRIM1 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).Methods The cases were came from the Subei People's Hospital Affilated Hospital of Yangzhou University from January 2013 to December 2017.CRIM1 and EMT related proteins (E-cadherin,Vimentin) in parts of HCC tissues and their paired peritumoural tissues were tested by Western blotting.The gray value was test by t test.The observation indicators:(1) expression of CRIM1 protein and EMT-related protein (E-cadherin,Vimentin) in liver cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues.(2) The relationship between CRIM1 protein expression and clinicopathological factors in patients with liver cancer.The expression ofCRIM1 in HCC tissues and adjacent tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC),which was divided into high expression group and low expression group according to the histochemical score,and the relation between the expression of CRIM1 and the clinicopathological factors of the patients was analyzed by chi-square test and Spearman correlation analysis.Finally,the relation between CRIM1 and overall survival of HCC patients was analyzed by Kaplan Meier Plotter database.Results The expression of CRIM1 in tumor and matched paratumor specimens were 0.15 ± 0.03,0.8 ± 0.04,and E-cadherinin tumor and matched paratumor specimenswere 0.20 ±0.05,0.56 ± 0.06,their expression in paracancerous tissues was higher than HCC tissues (t =14.21,4.69,P ＜ 0.05),while the expression of Vimentin in tumor and matched paratumor specimens were 0.74 ± 0.08,0.45 ± 0.06,the expression in tumor tissues were significantly higher than adjacent tissues (t =2.87,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of CRIM1 in HCC tissues was further verified by immunohistochemistry,which shows that CRIM1 was overexpressed in paracancerous tissues.In 114 patients,46 cases of CRIM1 protein were highly expressed in liver cancer tissues,and 68 cases of CRIM1 protein were low expressed.The expression of CRIM1 obviously related with the level of αt-fetoprotein (AFP),tumor size and symptom(r =-0.43,-0.34,-0.24,x2 =9.381,5.248,8.117,P ＜ 0.05).However,other clinicopathological features were not correlated with CRIM 1 expression,including age,tumour differentiation,tumor number.Finally,the overall survival was different between CRIM1 high expression and low expression according to the Kaplan Meier Plotter database.Conclusions The expression of CRIM1 is negatively correlated with the EMT process in HCC.CRIM1 might be a potential molecular marker for prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the current basic situation of ultrasound machines of ultrasound departments in Shanghai medical institutions, and to provide the basis for making management policy in order to promote medical quality. Methods: Questionnaire surveys about ultrasound machines and service ability including producing countries of ultrasound machines, the number of ultrasound machines, using years of ultrasound machines, yearly workload and the yearly number of patients that each ultrasound machine accepted were made in 2013 and 2018, respectively. Statistical results were compared between the two surveys. Results: Compared with 2013, the share of imported ultrasound machines declined in 2018 (82% vs 91%). Compared with 2013, the number of ultrasound machines in Shanghai medical institutions had increased by 31% in 2018 (2 123 vs 1 617). The occupancy rate of ultrasound machines in tertiary hospitals was the highest (tertiary hospitals 40%, secondary hospitals 25%, primary grade hospitals 20%, and private hospitals 15%). Compared with 2013, the proportion of ultrasound machines that have been used for more than 10 years increased (9% vs 4%), the yearly workload of ultrasound examination had increased by 46% (19.82 million person-time vs 13.59 million person-time). Tertiary hospitals bored the highest proportion of the workload (tertiary hospitals 51%, secondary hospitals 35%, primary grade hospitals 4%, and private hospitals 10%). Currently, the number of ultrasound machines per 10, 000 people in Shanghai was 1.14. The yearly number of patients that each ultrasound machine accepted had increased by 11% (9300 person-time vs 8400 person-time in 2018). Conclusions The scale of ultrasound departments in Shanghai medical institutions has been developing. Brand localization of ultrasound machines is improving. However, the renewal ability of ultrasound machines still needs to be improved. The workload of ultrasound department is getting heavier. Hierarchical diagnosis and treatment is unbalanced.
