Objective To evaluate the specific methods and clinical efficacy of docetaxel combined with doxorubicin in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer and to evaluate its safety.MethodsThe clinical data of 72 pitients with locally advanced breast cancer who were treated in our hospital from July 2012 to July 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the random double blind method,the patients were divided into the control group and the experimental group,with 36 cases in each group.The control group were treated with cyclophosphamide,5-fluorouracil and ammonia armor pterin methotrexate treatment,the experimental group were treated with docetaxel combined with adriamycin treatment,21 days for a cycle,withThe clinical curative effect,toxicity and quality of life were compared between the two groups of patients two cycles of treatment after the completion of the assessment.Results The total remission rate of the experimental group was 75.0%,which was significantly higher than that in control group 41.7%(P<0.05); the main adverse reactions were gastrointestinal reaction and bone marrow suppression,two groups of patients with 0-I,nausea and vomiting,hair loss,diarrhea,fatigue,white blood cell reduction,blood loss,blood loss,heart rate disorders,abnormal liver function and peripheral phlebitis.Two groups were compared.The two groups had no significant difference.Conclusion Docetaxel combined with adriamycin in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer had definite and toxic and side reaction were slightly in patients can tolerance range,to promote the rehabilitation of patients,improve the quality of life has a very positive significance for popularization and application in the medical practice.

Background:Pancreatitis is the main complication of ERCP,and a variety of risk factors will increase its risk. Studies showed that temporary pancreatic duct stent can reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Aims:To study the efficacy and safety of prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting on preventing PEP in patients with risk factors. Methods:Patients undergone ERCP and accompanied with one or more PEP-associated risk factors from November 2013 to November 2016 at Huaibei People's Hospital were enrolled,and were divided randomly into pancreatic duct stenting group (observation group)and non-stenting group (control group). Serum levels of amylase at 4,24 and 48 hours after the procedure and incidence of PEP were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 297 patients were enrolled, and 147 patients were in observation group,and 150 patients in control group. No significant differences in gender,age and ERCP disease spectrum were found between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Incidence of PEP was significantly decreased in observation group than in control group (6. 1% vs. 16. 0%,P < 0. 05). Serum levels of amylase at 4,24 and 48 hours after the procedure were significantly decreased in observation group than in corresponding control group (P < 0. 05), however,no significant difference in incidence of hyperamylasemia was found between the two groups (59. 2% vs. 54. 7%, P > 0. 05). Conclusions:Prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting may decrease the incidence of PEP in patients accompanied with PEP-associated risk factors, especially could decrease the severity of PEP. However, the incidence of hyperamylasemia is not decreased.

OBJECTIVE:
Early bolting of Saposhnikovia divaricata has seriously hindered its medicinal value and sustainable development of resources. The molecular mechanism of bolting and flowering of S. divaricata is still unclear and worth of research. In our study, we explored the transcriptome of the genes related to the bolting and flowering of S. divaricata.
METHODS:
The transcriptome library was constructed, sequenced, assembled and annotated from the bolting and unbolting leaves of S. divaricata by high-throughput sequencing at the bud and flowering stage. Focus on the pathways related to bolting and flowering in plants, and exploring genes. The expression of seven candidate genes was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).
RESULTS:
Transcriptome results showed that 249 889 422 high-quality clean reads were obtained. A total of 67 866 unigenes were assembled with an average length of 948.1 bp. Trinity de Novo assembly produced 67 866 unigenes with an average length of 948.1 bp. Among 993 differentially expressed genes, 484 genes were significantly up-regulated and 509 genes were down-regulated in the SdM group. A total of 79 GO terms were significantly enriched for differentially expressed genes. KEGG results showed that 11 154 unigenes were enriched in 89 pathways. And 21 candidate genes related to bolting and flowering of S. divaricata were excavated. The qRT-PCR results showed that expression trends of HDA9, PHYB, AP2, TIR1, Hsp90, CaM, and IAA7 were consistent with transcriptomic sequencing results. In addition, RNA-seq had identified 10 740 transcription factors and classified them into 58 families by their conserved domains. Further studies showed that the transcription factors regulating the flowering of S. divaricata were mainly distributed in the NAC, MYB_related, HB-other, ARF, and AP2 families.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of this study, it was found that the plant hormone signal transduction pathway was one of the decisive factors to control bolting and flowering. Among them, auxin related genes IAA and TIR1 are the key genes in the bolting and flowering process of S. divaricata.
