Objective:To analyze the correlation of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) expression with pathological features and prognosis of breast cancer.Methods:From Jan. 2020 to Jun. 2021, 132 breast cancer patients admitted to our hospital were chosen. The surgically removed breast cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of all patients were collected, and the expressions of CDK4 and BCRP were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Clinical data of all patients were collected, and the correlation among CDK4, BCRP expression and pathological features, prognosis was analyzed.Results:The positive expression rates of CDK4 and BCRP in breast cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues ( P <0.05) ; The positive expression rate of CDK4 and BCRP was associated with differentiation degree, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (all P <0.05) ; Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of CDK4 and BCRP negative expression group was higher than that of positive expression group ( P <0.05) ; Differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, CDK4 expression and BCRP expression were independent prognostic factors for overall survival of breast cancer patients (all P <0.05) . Conclusions:CDK4 and BCRP have high positive expression rates in breast cancer tissues, and their expression is related to pathological features, with certain value in evaluating the prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the differences between the expression levels of ribosomal protein L32 (RPL32) in human breast cancer tissue and normal breast tissue and the effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells.Methods:Paraffin samples of breast cancer tissues and adjacent tissues (more than 3 cm from the tumor margin) were collected from 56 breast cancer patients in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu City from July 2020 to May 2022. The expression of RPL32 in 56 breast cancer patients and their corresponding paracancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. MCF7 cells were divided into experimental group (ribosomal protein L32, RPL32) and control group (negative control, NC). MCF7 cells in experimental group were transfected with RPL32-siRNA vector, while MCF7 cells in control group were transfected with scramble siRNA vector. RPL32 mRNA content in each group was detected by RT-PCR. The expressions of RPL32 and P53 in the experimental group and control group were detected by western blot. The proliferative ability of cells in each group was detected by CCK8 assay. The clonogenesis ability of each group of cells was detected by clone formation experiment.Results:The positive rate of RPL32 in breast cancer patients was 8.93% (5/56), and the expression rate of RPL32 in paracancer tissues was 78.57% (44/56). The expression rate of RPL32 in breast cancer patients was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, with statistical significance ( P=0.007). After transfection with siRNA vector, the mRNA content of RPL32 in MCF7 cells of experimental group and control group decreased, and the protein expression level of RPL32 was 1.09±0.21 and 0.40±0.11, respectively. The expression levels of P53 protein were 1.24±0.32 and 0.37±0.09, respectively. The absorbance of CCK8 at 120 h was 1.11±0.24 and 2.19±0.28, respectively, and the proliferation ability of MCF7 cells in the experimental group was significantly decreased ( P=0.043). The results of clone formation experiment showed that the cell clone formation rate of the experimental group and the control group was (21.11±3.46) % and (58.75±4.29) %, respectively, and the cell clone formation of the experimental group was decreased ( P=0.026) . Conclusions:The expression of RPL32 is significantly increased in breast cancer, which may be related to the malignant degree of breast cancer. Inhibition of RPL32 expression in breast cancer cells affects its proliferation ability.

Objective:To analyze the protective effect of neurotracheal catheter monitoring on recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients with bilateral cervical lymph node dissection of thyroid cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 92 patients undergoing bilateral cervical lymph node dissection for thyroid cancer at the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu from Jul 2019 to Aug 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into control group (routine exposure, 52 cases) and study group (intraoperative neurotrachatic catheter monitoring, 40 cases) The general data, perioperative indicators, parathyroid function, vocal cord function, voice disorder index, quality of life and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The intraoperative blood loss in the study group [(12.3±3.3) ml] was less than that in the control group [(16.9±4.0) ml]. The exposure time [(8.7±2.6) min], operation time [(4.0±0.8) h] and postoperative hospitalization time [(3.2±0.9) d] were shorter than those of control group [(14.4±3.6) min, (4.5±1.2) h, (5.7±1.3) d] ( t=5.770, 8.391, 2.387, 10.853, all P<0.05);Amplitude perturbation (4.85%± 0.58%), fundamental frequency perturbation (0.28%±0.17%), standardized noise energy [(-20.3±4.4) dB], VHI-10 score [(1.6±0.5) score], Quality of life scale for cancer patients 1 month after surgery the TG-V4 score [(43.7±4.8) points] was lower than that of control group [(3.05%±0.54%), (0.42%±0.16%), (-14.6±3.3) dB, (3.3±0.4) points, (50.4±5.6) points]. The harmonic noise ratio [(24.9±4.1) dB] was higher than that of the control group [(20.3±4.4) dB] ( t=10.446, 4.049, 7.036, 19.076, 6.116, 5.144, all P<0.001);The incidence of postoperative complications in the study group (8%) was lower than that in the control group (23%) ( χ2=4.020, P=0.045). Conclusion:Neurotracheal catheter monitoring during bilateral cervical lymph node dissection for thyroid cancer can improve vocal cord function, reduce recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, reduce voice disturbance and improve quality of life.
