Objective To study the role of Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin(rVvhA) induced THP-1 apoptosis and calcium influx.Methods CCK-8 cell proliferation kit,Fluo3/AM staining and AnnexinV/PI staining were performed to identify the apoptosis and calcium influx induced by rVvhA in THP-1 cells.Results rVvhA could induce THP-1 apoptosis and up-regulate the cellular calcium concentration.BAPTAAM could enhance the calcium influx induced by rVvhA in THP-1.Conclusion rVvhA had cytotoxic to THP-1 cells by inducing apoptosis and triggering extracellular calcium influx.

AIM To study the distrubution and excretion of protopine in rats. METHODS Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method (RP HPLC) was developed for determining the level of protopine in rats. The analytical column were packed with 5 ?m C 18 . The mobile phase was a mixture of methanol, water and 10% acetic acid (80∶20∶2), in which the pH was modulated to 5 6 with 15% ammonia. Protopine biological samples were isolated well, in which two extraction with ether under basical condition and an extraction with 0 02 mol?L -1 sulfuric acid were performed, respectively. The content of protopine in the biological sample was measured by an UV detector at 285 nm. The distrubution and excetion of protopine have been investigated in rats after intravenous administration 10 mg?kg -1 . RESULTS Protopine distrubuted in many tissues after iv a dose of 10 mg?kg -1 . The higher level of protopine was found in lung, kidney, spleen and brain, and the highest was observed in lung at 5, 15 minutes after administration. However the top level tissue was testicle at 3 h, which may be due to small blood circulation. The excretion of the parent compound in urine was 36 87% of dose, but the excretion of the parent compound in feces and bile was less than 1% of dose. Plasma protein binding was less than 5%. CONCLUSION The distrubution of protopine is extensive and the parent compoud was mainly excreted by urine and plasma protein binding was low.

Objective To explore the influence of WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode on refracture of osteoporotic fracture patients.Methods Totally 100 osteoporotic fracture patients admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of the hospital from 2018 to 2019 were selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group with 50 patients in each group.The control group adopted the conventional discharge rehabilitation guidance mode,and the experimental group implemented WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode on this basis,including WeChat platform construction and detailed intervention mode.The changes of bone mineral density and the recurrence rate of osteoporotic fracture were compared between the two groups at admission and after 3 years of follow-up.Results There were 7 cases of lost follow-up in the experimental group,and there were 6 cases of lost follow-up in the control group.After 3 years,the bone mineral density of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the recurrence fracture rate was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode can effectively improve bone density and reduce the incidence of refracture in osteoporotic fracture patients.

Objective To summarize the clinical and the molecular genetic characteristics of type DYT11 dystonia by analyzing the clinical data and pathogenic gene mutation of type DYT11 dystonia of a myoclonus-dystonia syndrome (MDS) family.Methods A MDS family enrolled in the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force in January 2018 was retrospectively analyzed.The clinical data of 11 affected family members were collected and genetic testing of four affected family members (including the proband) of the MDS family was conducted using a panel of dystonia-associated genes.Results The affected family members showed great differences in clinical characteristics and obvious clinical heterogeneity.Four affected family members had myoclonus and dystonia,two affected family members only had myoclonus and five affected family members only had dystonia.The results of genetic testing showed that the proband,his father and his grandfather had a mutation (c.835_839delACAAA) in SGCE gene,which is autosomal dominant and belongs to type DYT11 dystonia.Conclusions MDS shows clinical heterogeneity.Gene screening is of great importance for the diagnosis and treatment of dystonia with myoclonus.

Objective To investigate the relationship between X-ray injury cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) gene polymorphism and prognosis in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods Patients with primary triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) diagnosed in the Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2013 to January 2015 were selected. Patients were selected for genotyping (XRCC1 gene Arg280His, Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp) and divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis of patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between XRCC1 genotype and prognosis. Results A total of 130 patients were enrolled in the study, with an average age of (50.4 ± 6.3) years. The mean follow-up time was (45 ± 13) months, including 62 patients with breast cancer-related deaths and 68 patients with survival. The patients in death group was older than those in the survival group [(52.6 ± 6.7) years vs. (48.3 ± 5.2) years, P < 0.01), and and the lymph node metastasis rate was higher [88.7%(55/62) vs.73.5%(50/68), P＝0.028]. The frequency of XRCC1 gene Arg399Gln genotype in the survival and death group was GG: 61.8% vs. 38.7%; GA: 32.4% vs. 41.5%; AA: 5.9% vs. 19.4%, P＝0.011.There were also statistical differences between the two groups in the frequency of allele, and the frequency of A allele was significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group (40.4% vs. 22.0%, P<0.01). For the additive model of the Arg399Gln polymorphism A allele, for each additional copy of the A allele, the risk was 1.443 times that before the increase (95% CI 1.174-1.793, P<0.01). After adjusting for age and lymph node metastasis, the A allele still significantly increased the risk of death ( OR＝1.533, 95% CI 1.254-1.903, P < 0.01). Conclusions The XRCC1 gene Arg399Gln polymorphism is associated with the prognosis of TNBC, and patients with the A allele have a poor prognosis.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of various specific sonographic features on molecular subtypes for invasive breast carcinoma(IBC).Methods:Sonographic and clinicopathological data were retrospectively reviewed for 500 IBC patients who accepted surgical therapy in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2014 to March 2016. All tumors were divided into 5 molecular subtypes. The relationships of sonographic variations associated with the molecular subtypes for IBC were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logsitic regression analyses.Results:Specific sonographic features for triple-negative subtype included regular shape ( OR=2.06, P=0.018), no spiculated/angular margin ( OR=1.98, P=0.029), posterior acoustic enhancement ( OR=2.26, P=0.005), and no calcification ( OR=2.13, P=0.006). Specific sonographic feature for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 positive (HER2) subtype was posterior acoustic enhancement ( OR=2.23, P=0.006). Specific sonographic features for Luminal A subtype included spiculated/angular margin ( OR=2.24, P=0.001), posterior acoustic shadow ( OR=1.84, P=0.026), and no calcification ( OR=1.89, P=0.016). There were no specific sonographic features for the Luminal B with HER2 negative subtype, while that for the Luminal B with HER2 positive subtype was calcification ( OR=3.61, P<0.001). However, when used these sonographic features to predict molecular subtypes of breast cancer, the sensitivity values were 8.4%-57.3%, and positive predictive values were 9.5%-53.3%. Conclusions:The variety of sonographic features is associated with molecular subtypes of IBC.However, due to the overlap of sonographic features between different subtypes, molecular subtypes of IBC cannot be predicted by sonographic features.
