In recent years, China has been vigorously promoting the construction of medical informatization, with ever improving share and interoperability model of medical and health care big data centering on electronic health records. Current problems in the management and utilization of electronic health records were found in such aspects as hidden risk exposure in the centralized data storage, poor access in data sharing, and poor distribution of rights and interests. These problems can be tackled effectively by the distributed storage, efficient secret data sharing, on-demand collaborative intelligent computing and other features of blockchain technology. The blockchain technology is still immature to use in medical archiving, and large-scale application of electronic health archives blockchain faces challengs in technology, governance and operation. The authors suggest to enhance scientific research on blockchain technology, improve the construction of blockchain application enabling system, and to launch the pilot project of health archives blockchain.

In this study, the mature peptide sequence of a pectin lyase gene A was amplified from Aspergillus niger strain EIM-6 by using RT-PCR reverse transcription technique. The cloned gene was then inserted into a Pichia pastoris expression vector pPIC9k to produce the recombinant expression plasmid pPIC9K-pelA. By using electric shocks, we successfully transformed the recombinant pPIC9K-pelA into Pichia pastoris GS115. The activity of the engineered strain reached to 2.3 U/mL after induction with the final concentration of 1.5% methanol. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that the pPIC9K-pelA transformant had an additional protein band of approximately 38 kD, which was not present in the control. There were no significant differences between the recombinant and native pectin lyase with regard to their hydrolysis activities.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Linggui Zhugantang (LGZGT)-containing serum on primary astrocytes (AS) induced by β amyloid 1-42 (Aβ1-42) in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and explore the phagocytic and degradative effects of LGZGT on Aβ. MethodAn AD model was established by inducing AS with Aβ1-42. The cells were divided into normal group, model group, LGZGT low-, medium-, and high-dose (LGZGT-L, LGZGT-M, and LGZGT-H) groups, and donepezil hydrochloride group. The model group was treated with Aβ1-42 at a final concentration of 10 μmol∙L-1. The LGZGT-L, LGZGT-M, and LGZGT-H groups were treated with 10% serum containing LGZGT on the basis of the model group. Cell viability was assessed using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was measured using an LDH assay kit, and cell morphology was observed using an inverted microscope. The expression of Aβ-related degradation enzymes insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) and cathepsin D (CTSD) was detected using Western blot, and the fluorescence intensity of cathepsin B (CTSB) was measured using immunofluorescence. The content of Aβ1-42 in cells was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ResultCompared with the normal group, the viability of AS in all groups decreased, and Aβ1-42 at different concentrations had inhibitory effects on AS proliferation. After administration, compared with the normal group, the cell survival rate of the model group decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the cell survival rates of the LGZGT-H group and donepezil hydrochloride group increased significantly (P<0.05). The LDH activity of cells in the model group was significantly increased compared with that in the normal group (P<0.05), and cell bodies were swollen and enlarged with increased protrusions and elongation, suggesting more obvious cell damage. Compared with the model group, the LDH activity of cells in the donepezil hydrochloride, LGZGT-L, LGZGT-M, and LGZGT-H groups decreased significantly (P<0.05). After administration, the cell swelling in the LGZGT-M, LGZGT-H, and donepezil hydrochloride groups improved, cell protrusions shortened, and cell clustering decreased. Compared with the normal group, the expression of IDE and CTSD in the model group decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of IDE increased significantly in the LGZGT-M and LGZGT-H groups (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of CTSD increased significantly in the LGZGT-L, LGZGT-M, LGZGT-H, and donepezil hydrochloride groups (P<0.05). The average fluorescence intensity of CTSB in the model group was significantly lower than that in the normal group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the average fluorescence intensity of CTSD in the LGZGT-L, LGZGT-M, LGZGT-H, and donepezil hydrochloride groups increased significantly (P<0.05). The intracellular content of Aβ1-42 in cells in the model group was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P<0.05). After administration, compared with the model group, the intracellular content of Aβ1-42 in cells in the LGZGT-L, LGZGT-M, LGZGT-H, and donepezil hydrochloride groups decreased significantly (P<0.05), and LGZGT-containing serum reduced Aβ1-42 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). ConclusionLGZGT has a protective effect on Aβ1-42-induced AS and can promote the degradation of Aβ. Its mechanism may be related to reducing Aβ toxicity, enhancing cell viability, promoting the expression of IDE, CTSD, and CTSB, and restoring lysosomal function.

OBJECTIVETo study the high risk factors of the third level of lymphatic metastasis in breast cancer patients to guide clinical practice.
METHODSThe clinical data of 746 breast cancer patients (all female, aged from 33 to 80 years with a median of 46 years) received radical or modified mastectomy between 2001 and 2011 was analyzed retrospectively. Eleven individual variables were selected to investigate high risk factors of the third level of lymphatic metastasis in different conditions.
RESULTSAxillary nodes metastasis status (OR = 4.541, 95%CI:3.569-5.776), tumor site (OR = 1.437, 95%CI:1.029-2.007), external nodes involved (OR = 3.809, 95%CI:1.683-8.618) and estrogen receptor (OR = 0.740, 95%CI:0.569-0.964) were high risk factors of the third level of lymphatic metastasis. Further analysis found that it is prone to happen a metastasis, especially when the tumor with a size over 5 cm and located at the lateral quadrant. Negative estrogen receptor was a risk factor of the third level lymphatic metastasis along with the tumor stage.
CONCLUSIONFor preoperative tumor biopsy shows Negative estrogen receptor of tumor stage T3 and over stage T3 when considering suspicious lymph node metastasis or external tissues metastasis intraoperatively should take in account into third level axillary lymph node dissection actively.
