Node negative breast cancer is a prevalent form of breast cancer .With the improvement of breast cancer screening and disease awareness ,the rates of node negative breast cancer are gradually increasing . Although node negative breast cancer patients have much lower recurrence rates as compared with node positive patients,node-negative breast cancer is unequal to a low risk disease .Thus,it is important for oncologist to esti-mate the risk factors of node negative disease ,to carry out risk assessment and to guide the best regimen for these patients.In current review ,we discuss the value of traditional prognostic factors and new prognostic factors ,such as the urokinase -type plasminogen activator/plasminogen activator inhibitor 1,oncotype DX,MammaPrint and tumor associated macrophages ,on the predictive and treatment decisions in node negative breast cancer .

Objective:
To investigate the infertility rate and influencing factors of female workers in China's nine industries.
Methods:
Using multi-stage sampling method, from January to November in 2016. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on the infertility of 33 685 female workers in the nine industries including medical and health, petrochemical, metallurgy, railway, machinery manufacturing and electronics,a questionnaire survey. First, three provincial capitals were randomly selected in seven regions. And then we consulted and communicated with the hospital of the provincial city's occupational disease prevention and treatment, marking and coding the target enterprise within its jurisdiction, In these enterprises, we randomly selected five companies. Finally, all women workers who meet the inclusion criteria were surveyed in those enterprises which were drawn. Use the"female workers reproductive health questionnaire" to collect female workers demographic status, occupational status and reproductive status and other data. The single factor analysis of infertility was performed by chi-square test. Multivariate analysis of infertility was carried out by logistic regression model.
Results:
The age of female workers in the nine industries was (35.98±7.98) years. The infertility rate for one year of female workers in typical industry was 24.81% (8 358/33 685), the infertility rate for two years being13.47% (4 537/33 685), the infertility rate for two years being 10.78% (3 632/33 685).

OBJECTIVETo characterize the O3: K6 serovariant of Vibrio parahaemolyticus on virulence gene and molecular typing, and analyze the genetic relationship between O3: K6 and O3: K6 serovariants.
METHODSPFGE was performed on 115 strains of V.parahaemolyticus which were collected from the anal swab of cases of foodbrone diseases in Shenzhen during 2006-2012. According to isolation times and locations, 7 strains of O3: K6 were selected as control strains. Tdh gene, trh gene, orf8 gene were detected, GS-PCR, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) were used to chracterize 7 strains of O3: K6 and O3: K6 serovariants.
RESULTSPFGE indicated that 58.3% (67/115) of V. parahaemolyticus strains shared a high similarity of band pattern (similarity > 80%) , which comprised of O3: K6 (44/67), O1: KUT(4/67), and O3: K6 serovariants(19/67). Among the O3: K6 serovariants, O1: K25 accounted for 7% (5/67), O4: K68 accounted for 10% (7 /67), O11: K36 accounted for 10% (7 /67). They all carried both tdh and trh gene, and 53% (10/19) was GS-PCR positive and carried orf8 gene, 26% (5/19) was both GS-PCR and orf8 gene negative, 21% (4/19) was GS-PCR negative, orf8 gene positive, 89% (17/19) was assigned to ST-3, 11% (2/19) was assigned to ST-305. Seven strains of O3: K6 was GS-PCR positive, carried orf8 gene, assigned to ST-3. ST-305 and ST-3 had differences in 2 housekeeping genes, which was dtdS gene and pntA gene. In the 305th base of dtdS gene, ST-305(147 allele profile) was T, while ST-3(4 allele profile) was C. In the 33th base of pntA gene, ST-305(93 allele profile) was T, while ST-3(29 allele profile ) was C.
CONCLUSIONO4: K68,O1: K25 and O11: K36 were highly similar in virulencec gene carriage, MLST type of O3: K6, and aslo shared a close genetic relationship with O3: K6, thus were considered as O3: K6 serovirants.

Objective To investigate the preventive effects of lamivudine combined with chemotherapy drugs on hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients with HBV infection and tumor. Methods From July 2014 to February 2017,a total of one hundred and twenty patients with HBV infection and tumor in Nanchong Central Hospital were selected and were divided into the observation group and control group with 60 cases in each group. The control group received conventional chemotherapy and liver protection treatment,the observation group was given lamivudine prophylaxis treatment(100 mg/d,1 time/d) based on the treatment in the control group, two groups were treated for 8 weeks. Results The rates of hepatitis B virus reactivation in the observation group and the control group were 5. 0%(3/60) and 33. 3%(20/60),respectively,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=15. 692,P<0. 05) . There was no significant difference in serum glutamic acid transferase and aspartic transferase in the patients before and after treatment ( P>0. 05 ) , and the control group showed an upward trend ( P<0. 05) . After treatment,the serum ALT and AST in the observation group ((31. 98±6. 33)U/L,(26. 38±4. 98)U/L) were lower than those in the control group((43. 89±6. 73)U/L, (51. 78±5. 99)U/L)(t=8. 294,11. 842,P<0. 05). After treatment,the HBV DNA in the observation group and the control group((0. 16±0. 04) ×103copies/ml,(5. 02±1. 72) ×103copies/ml) were lower than those before treatment ((14. 55±2. 14)×103copies/ml,(14. 09±1. 98 copies/ml )(t=25. 498,8. 142,P<0. 05),and the HBV DNA in the observation group after treatment was also lower than that of the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=24. 292,P<0. 05) . Conclusion Lamivudine combined with chemotherapy drugs used in patients with HBV infection and tumor can prevent hepatitis B virus reactivation,it does not affect the patient′s liver function,it can inhibit the replication of hepatitis B virus,so it has good application values.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence of malignant tumors in nurses and its influencing factors and to provide a reference for protecting the health of nurses.
METHODSCluster sampling was used to randomly survey 1204 married nurses working in one tumor hospital and two tertiary general hospital in Beijing, China, from June to August in 2014. Using the homemade health questionnaire and medical examination reports, the prevalence of malignant tumors in nurses was analyzed.
RESULTSThe prevalence of malignant tumors in nurses was 18.3‰, and the prevalence of malignant tumors in the tumor hospital was the highest, reaching 40.1‰. The prevalence of malignant tumors varied significantly between nurses in different hospitals (P<0.05) and in different departments (P<0.05). The malignant tumors in nurses mainly included breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and cervical cancer. The mean age of nurses suffering from malignant tumors was 41 years, and the mean length of service was 20 years. The hospital and department where nurses worked, as well as their age and length of service, were significantly associated with malignant tumors (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and cervical cancer is high in nurses surveyed, particularly those working in the tumor hospital. Further in-depth analysis of the reasons is needed to take preventive interventions for protecting the health of nurses.
