Purpose To investigate the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway associated gene protein p70S6K1, VEGF in prostate cancer and adjacent tissues, and to determine their relationship with micro-vascular density ( MVD) , as well as the relationship between themselves. Methods The expression of ROS was detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression of p70S6K1, VEGF and MVD counting were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared to adjacent tis-sues, the expression of ROS, p70S6K1, VEGF and MVD in PCa were increased considerablely (P<0. 05). In prostate cancer the ex-pression of ROS were positively correlated to the expression of p70S6K1, VEGF protein, and the expression of ROS and p70S6K1, VEGF were positively correlated to the number of MVD. Conclusion (1)The expression level of ROS in prostate cancer tissues was significantly higher than adjacent tissues. (2) The expression of PI3K/AKT pathway associated gene protein p70S6K1, VEGF protein and MVD counting in prostate cancer tissue was higher than the adjacent tissues, suggesting PI3K/AKT signaling pathways may play a role in tumor angiogenesis. (3) The expression of ROS and PI3K/AKT pathway associated gene protein p70S6K1, VEGF and MVD counting in prostate cancer tissues was positively correlated, suggesting that ROS may play a positive regulatory role for the development of prostate cancer by PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of single or combined detection of serum tumor markers alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), α-fetoprotein (AFP)-L3 and abnormal clotting (PIVKA-II) in the primary hepatic carcinoma. Methods: Serum AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II of 56 cases with primary hepatic carcinoma, 46 cases with cirrhosis, 45 cases with other liver disease and 41 healthy persons (control group) were examined by chemiluminescence method, and the differences in the levels of AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II in each group were compared. Results: Serum level of AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II in patients with primary liver cancer was significantly higher than that of the cirrhosis, other liver disease and control groups, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for the diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma by AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II were 0.887, 0.846 and 0.885, respectively. The combined use of the three tumor markers for the diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma increased the area under the curve to 0.899. Among the single detection, AFP had the highest sensitivity of 91.07% and PIVKA-II had the highest specificity at 88.63%. In the combined detection, AFP/PIVKA-II combination had the highest sensitivity of 94.64 %, while the AFP + AFP-L3 + PIVKA-II combination had the highest specificity at 98.48%. Conclusion Combined detection of AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II could improve the diagnostic specificity and the sensitivity of primary hepatic carcinoma; thereby make up the deficiency of single detection and improve the early diagnosis rate.

Objective To know the anxiety status of preschool children in rural areas and to explore its influential factors. Methods Subjects of 1363 rural preschool children aged 3-6 years were selected from Anhui Province( Changfeng and Feixi county of Hefei city; Qianshan county of Anqing city; Funan county of Fuyang city) . The primary caregivers of preschool children were investigated by Chinese version of Spence Preschool Anxiety Scale (SPAS),Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Preschoolers (DECA-P2) ,Neglect Norms for Children Aged 3 to 6 Years in Rural Areas of China,Adaptation Partnership Growth Affection Resolve (APGAR),Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Self-rating depression (SDS). Result-s Among the 1363 preschool children,the positive rate of anxiety was 14. 7％. Physical injury fears score was highest (1. 24±0. 84),followed by social phobia anxiety (0. 86±0. 75) and separation anxiety (0. 85± 0. 74) . Except for obsessive compulsive disorder,the other four types of anxiety and total anxiety scores were negatively correlated with the total protective factors of mental resilience (r=-0. 054- -0. 070,P<0. 05). Besides,all anxiety scores were positively correlated with behavioral problems(r=0. 121-0. 237,P<0. 05)and neglect degree (r=0. 157-0. 269,P<0. 05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis of different anxiety types showed that gender,family type,family income status,parental rearing pattern was consistent or inconsistent,children' s neglect degree,behavior problem and anxiety/depression status of primary caregivers were the main factors affecting the anxiety level of preschool children in rural areas. Conclusions In order to reduce or avoid anxiety of preschool children,it is necessary to establish a good family environment,im-prove parents' upbringing level,and take effective education intervention.

Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid transferase (UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT) is an important Ⅱmetabolic enzymes in the body. It is invovled in the metabolism of exogenous compounds, and also in endogenous substances such as bile acid metabolism and regulation. Parsing uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid transferase mediated bile acid metabolism and its influence factors can help enhance related disease treatment and prevention. Studies have shown that the interaction between UGT and bile acids is influenced by many endogenous and exogenous factors. This paper will focus on the effects of internal and exogenous factors such as nuclear receptors, genetic factors, xenobiotics and liver-related diseases on the action of UGT enzyme, and discuss the potential mechanism of bile acid balance intervention.

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) plays a key role in detoxification of many potentially harmful compounds and drugs. UGT1A1 inhibition may bring risks of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), hyperbilirubinemia and drug-induced liver injury. This study aimed to investigate and compare the inhibitory effects of icotinib and erlotinib against UGT1A1, as well as to evaluate their potential DDI risksUGT1A1 inhibition. The results demonstrated that both icotinib and erlotinib are UGT1A1 inhibitors, but the inhibitory effect of icotinib on UGT1A1 is weaker than that of erlotinib. The ICvalues of icotinib and erlotinib against UGT1A1-mediated NCHN--glucuronidation in human liver microsomes (HLMs) were 5.15 and 0.68 μmol/L, respectively. Inhibition kinetic analyses demonstrated that both icotinib and erlotinib were non-competitive inhibitors against UGT1A1-mediated glucuronidation of NCHN in HLMs, with thevalues of 8.55 and 1.23 μmol/L, respectively. Furthermore, their potential DDI risksUGT1A1 inhibition were quantitatively predicted by the ratio of the areas under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of NCHN. These findings are helpful for the medicinal chemists to design and develop next generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors with improved safety, as well as to guide reasonable applications of icotinib and erlotinib in clinic, especially for avoiding their potential DDI risksUGT1A1 inhibition.
