Objectives:To investigate the clinical significance of the expression level of cytokeratin5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells from patients with breast carcinoma.Methods:The expression rates of ck5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells from 56 patients with breast carcinoma were measured and analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:The expression rates of ck5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells from 56 patients with breast carcinoma was 46.4% and there was significant differences compared with healthy volunteers and the patients with breast benign diseases.The positive rates increased significantly with the pathological staging and show no significant relationship with the ER and PR.Conclusion:The expression of ck5/6/18 positive cells in peripheral blood cells correlates significantly with the pathological staging of breast carcinoma and it could be an effective signal to clinical monitor and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the expression of WWOX gene in breast cancer and its relation to hypermethylation of WWOX gene CpG island. Methods The expression of WWOX protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining in breast cancer cell line and breast cancer tissues.Methylation specific PCR(MSP)was used to check whether it Was methylated in the promoter and exon 1 of WWOX.Results Deletion in the WWOX expression was observed more frequently in invasive breast tumors,(32.2%)than normal breasttissues(5.4%)(P＜0.01).20.3% of premenopause eases were completely negative for WWOX expression compared to 57.2% of postmenopause breast carcinomas(P＜0.01).Furthermore,23.1% of Stage Ⅰ(6/26),28.6%of Stage Ⅱ(10/35),46.2%of Stage Ⅲ(12/26)tunlors showed negative WWOX protein expression.In breast cancer specimens.methylation rate of promoter and exon 1 CpG island of WWOX gene was 55%and 45%respectively.Whereas.WWOX CpG islands of normal mammary tissues were completely unmethylated in all cases.CpG islands of WWOX promoter and exon 1 were methylated in MDA-MB-231 cell line but not MCF-7 cell.Conclusions Some deletion in WWOX expression is common in breast cancer and methylation of WWOX DNA CpG islands plays a crucial role in the silence of WWOX.WWOX may play a role in the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer.

Objective To explorepredictive factors of psychological stress reaction of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure and to provides scientific basis for the hospital administrators toprovide psychological support and interventionfor medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure. Methods Seventy-eight medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure were recruited as participants. The Socio-demographic Questionnaire, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Ruminative Responses Scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were used to evaluate the participants' psychological stress reactionat different stages and the styles of their emotion regulation. Correlation analysis and Hierarchical Regression analysis were used to analyze the predictive factors of psychological stress reaction of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure. Results Ruminative thinking and emotion regulation can predict the psychological stress reaction of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure at different stages. Conclusions According to the psychological stress reaction and ruminative thinking of medical staff members with blood- occupational exposure, psychological intervention should be implemented within one month to decrease the psychological trauma of medical staff members with blood-occupational exposure.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.
