Objective:To detect the status of PIK3CA in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) , and to analyze the relationships between PIK3CA mutation and clinical features and its impact on prognosis.Methods:From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, 50 patients with primary TNBC admitted to Xinxiang Central Hospital of Henan Province were collected. The PIK3CA mutation status was detected, and the relationships between PIK3CA mutation and clinical characteristics of patients with TNBC and its impact on prognosis were analyzed.Results:PIK3CA gene mutation was detected in 9 of 50 TNBC patients, with a mutation frequency of 18.0%. H1047R mutation was found in 4 cases, E545K mutation in 3 cases and E542K mutation in 2 cases. PIK3CA gene mutation was not associated with age ( χ2=3.55, P=0.060) , tumor location ( χ2=1.01, P=0.315) , tumor size ( χ2<0.01, P>0.999) , lymph node status ( χ2=0.76, P=0.385) , clinical stage ( χ2=0.65, P=0.420) , Ki-67 value ( χ2<0.01, P>0.999) , P53 status ( χ2=0.02, P=0.894) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) status ( χ2=1.65, P=0.200) . Prognostic analysis showed that 3-year disease-free survival rates of wild-type PIK3CA patients was significantly higher than that of mutant PIK3CA patients (80.5% vs. 11.1%, χ2=28.23, P<0.001) . Conclusion:The frequency of PIK3CA gene mutation is higher in TNBC patients. There is no correlation between PIK3CA mutation and clinicopathologic features in TNBC patients. PIK3CA gene mutation may be significantly associated with poor prognosis of TNBC patients.

Objective:To understand the oral health and frailty status of the elderly in the community in Beijing and analyze the correlation between the two, so as to provide a reference for the frailty management of the elderly in the community.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the multi-stage stratified sampling method, a total of 241 community elderly people in 9 communities in Beijing from July to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were investigated using the general information questionnaire, Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and the Fried Frailty Phenotype. Univariate analysis and ordinal logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of frailty among the elderly in the community. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.6%.Results:Among the 241 community elders, 115 (47.7%) were not frail, 92 (38.2%) were pre-frail and 34 (14.1%) were frail. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of teeth of 0-9, 10-19, dry mouth and incomplete or unrepaired restoration of missing teeth were risk factors for frailty among the elderly in the community ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:From the perspective of oral health, this study further analyzes the risk factors of frailty in the elderly in the community. Medical institutions and elderly care institutions at all levels can use oral health status as a screening item for the frailty risk of the elderly in the community, providing new ideas for the prevention and intervention of frailty in the community.
10.Reversible RNA Modification N-methyladenosine (mA) in mRNA and tRNA.
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics 2018;16(3):155-161
More than 100 modifications have been found in RNA. Analogous to epigenetic DNA methylation, epitranscriptomic modifications can be written, read, and erased by a complex network of proteins. Apart from N-methyladenosine (mA), N-methyladenosine (mA) has been found as a reversible modification in tRNA and mRNA. mA occurs at positions 9, 14, and 58 of tRNA, with mA58 being critical for tRNA stability. Other than the hundreds of mA sites in mRNA and long non-coding RNA transcripts, transcriptome-wide mapping of mA also identifies >20 mA sites in mitochondrial genes. mA in the coding region of mitochondrial transcripts can inhibit the translation of the corresponding proteins. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of mA in mRNA and tRNA, covering high-throughput sequencing methods developed for mA methylome, mA-related enzymes (writers and erasers), as well as its functions in mRNA and tRNA.
