Purpose: To study the expression of VEGF, VEGF-C, fit-4 in breast cancer and its relationship with lymph node metastasis and explore the significance of lymphangiogenesis on metastasis via lymphtics. Methods: Paraffin-embedded specimens from 82 patients with primary breast cancer who had undergone radical mastectomy with lymph node dissection were studied. VEGF, VEGF-C, flt-4 expression were investigated by immunohistochemical staining. Results: Positive staining for VEGF, VEGF-C, flt-4 were observed in some breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the expression of VEGF-C, flt-4 were significantly higher in lymph node-positive group than in node-negative group. Correlation was found within the expression of VEGF-C, flt4 also. Conclusions: Clinical significance was found between VEGF-C, flt-4 expression and lymph-node metastasis in breast cancer, and may be involved in the metastatic process.

Objective To investigate the role of NF-κB in apoptosis of immortalized neural progenitor cells (INPCs) . Methods INPCs were cultured in 6-well plates and were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 6 each) : group I was not transfected with any plasmid (group INPC); group Ⅱ was transfected with control plasmid (group INPC/CMV); group Ⅲ was transfected with plasmid RcCMV-p50 (group INPC/p50); group Ⅳ was transfected with plasmid RcCMV-p65 (group INPC/p65) and group V was transfected with plasmid RcCMV-p50 and RcCMV-p65 (group INPC/p50p65). Group INPC/CMV ( H ), INPC/p50 (Ⅲ) and INPC/p65 (Ⅳ) were screened by G418, and the positive clones were then cultured for 3-4 weeks. The transcription of p50 mRNA or p6S mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The NF-κB activity was measured by luciferase reporter gene assay. The cell apoptosis was measured by annexin V/PI staining. In group INPC/p50p65 and group INPC/p65, the cultured positive clone was transiently transfected with plasmid RcCMV-p50. Two days after transfection, the same measurement was performed in group INPC/pS0p65 and the other groups. Results The expression of p50 mRNA was significantly increased in group INPC/p50 and INPC/p50p65 as compared with the other groups ( P < 0.05) . The expression of p65 mRNA, the NF-κB activity and the apoptotic rate were significantly increased in group INPC/p65 and INPC/p50p65 as compared with the other groups ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Enhanced NF-κB activity can increase immortalized neural progenitor cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the situation of drug resistance and nosocomial infection of multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR),guidance for clinical rational use of antibiotics.Methods A total of 1521 strains of MDR was isolated from January 2015 to December in Beijing Tongren Hospital,using matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification of bacteria,VITEK-2 Compact and Kirby Bauer (KB) method for drug sensitivity test.Results In 1 521 strains of MDR,Acinetobacter Baumanii were 589 strains (38.7%),nosocomial infection rate were 16.6%;350 strains of Escherichia coli (23.0%),nosocomial infection rate were 9.0%;249 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (16.4%),nosocomial infection rate were 2.7%;171 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.2%),nosocomial infection rate were 14.3%;150 strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.9%),nosocomial infection rate were 64.7%;12 strains of Enterococcus faecium (0.8%),nosocomial infection rate were 16.7%.MDR Acinetobacter Baumanii,MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa,extended-spectrumβ-lactamase (ESBL) + Escherichia coli and ESBL + Klebsiella pneumoniae resistance rate to Imipenem were 100%,91.5%,0.6% and 55.6%.Conclusions MDR pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PAE),MDR acinetobacter baumanii (MDR-AB) and ESBL + Klebsiella pneumoniae were highly resistant,and the nosocomial infection rate were higher.
