Background and purpose: The position of thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) expression during cell division is in the cytoplasm. It is a catalytic enzyme to convert deoxythymidine into thymidylate. It is the key enzyme of pyrimidine salvage pathway. The aim of this study was to analyze the serum expression level of TK1 in patients with breast cancer, and explore the application of serum TK1 test in clinical assessments of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for breast cancer. Methods: Patient data were collected from the patients admitted in Comprehensive Breast Health Center at Rui Jin Hospital. Chemiluminesence dot blot assay was used to detect serum TK1 levels in 145 breast cancer patients and 55 patients with breast ifbroadenoma. The correlations of serum TK1 levels with breast tumor biological behavior was further studied. Results:Serum TK1 expression levels was signiifcantly increased in breast cancer patients [(2.749±0.122)pmol/L] when compared to breast fibroadenoma patients[(1.319±0.126)pmol/L, P<0.000 1]. Serum TK1 levels were statistically increased in patients with lymph node metastasis (P=0.049), distal metastasis (P=0.003 1), and late TNM stages (P=0.01). No serum TK1 level differences were found in patients with different ages (P>0.05), different tumor grades (P=0.453) and different tumor size (P=0.908). Preoperative imaging results including breast ultrasound, breast mammography and breast magnetic resonance were analyzed by assessments of BI-RADS category, and serum TK1 levels in patients with different BI-RADS categories were studied. Serum TK1 levels in patients with breast ultrasound BI-RADS categories 4C-6 were signiifcantly higher than those with category 0-4B (P<0.001). Consistently, the serum TK1 levels in patients with MR BI-RADS categories 4C-6 were higher than categories 0-4B (P=0.005). The serum TK1 levels in patients with mammography BI-RADS categories 4C-6 were higher than categories 0-4B (P=0.032). The serum TK1 levels were signiifcantly increased in patients with ER high expression in breast tumor tissues than those with low expression (P=0.034). Serum TK1 levels had no differences in patients with different expression levels of PR, HER-2 and MIB-1 (P>0.05). Most patients were followed up in our outpatient department for about 2 years. No progression-free survival differences were found in 2years. Conclusion:Serum TK1 test might be a potential tool for screening, prognosis determination and effect evaluations of targeted therapy in breast carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of parecoxib preemptive analgesia combined with postoperative epidural analgesia on hip replacement and immune function. METHODS:Totally 86 patients undergoing unilateral hip replacement selected from Xining Third People's Hospital during Jan. 2014-Jun. 2016 were divided into observation group and control group according to random num-ber table,with 43 cases in each group. Two groups underwent unilateral hip replacement under spinal epidural anesthesia. Observation group was given Parecoxib sodium for injection 40 mg intravenously 30 min before the end of surgery. Control group was given con-stant volume of normal saline intravenously. Both groups were given epidural analgesia pump(Ropivacaine hydrochloride injection 150 mg+Ondansetron hydrochloride injection 16 mg+Dezocine injection 10 mg,added into normal saline to 100 mL)after surgery with dripping speed of 2 mL/h and patient-controlled time of 15 min. The hemodynamic indexes,analgesic effect,T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells levels were compared between 2 groups at different time points as well as the occurrence of ADR after surgery. RE-SULTS:Two patients of observation group and one patient of control group withdrew from the study. Before surgery,there was no sta-tistical significance in MAP and HR between 2 groups(P>0.05);12,24 h after surgery,MAP and HR of control group were signifi-cantly increased and higher than observation group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in MAP and HR of observation group at different time points compared to before treatment;there was no statistical significance in MAP and HR between 2 groups immediately after surgery,48 h after surgery(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in VAS score between 2 groups immediately after surgery(P>0.05);6,12,24,48 h after surgery,VAS scores of observation group were signifi-cantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in CD3+,CD4+, CD4+/CD8+and NK cells levels between 2 groups before surgery(P>0.05). CD3+,CD4+and NK cells levels of 2 groups immediately after surgery,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and NK cells levels of 2 groups at 12,24 h after surgery,CD3+and CD4+of control group at 48 h after surgery all changed significantly;CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+and NK cells levels of observation group at 12,24 h after sur-gery were significantly higher than those of control group,with statistical significantly(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The parecoxib preemptive analgesia combined with postopera-tive epidural analgesia shows good analgesic effect for hip replacement patients,keeps their hemodynamics stable and protects immune function to certain extent with good safety.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of multiple-slice spiral CT (MSCT) perfusion imaging technique in pancreatic cancer by measuring and comparing the dynamical characteristics of blood flow between normal pancreas and pancreatic cancer. Methods The CT perfusion imaging were obtained using Siemens Somatoma MSCT scanner in 44 patients with normal pancreas tissue and 18 patients with pancreatic cancer. The mean blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV), time to start (Trs), time to peak (TIP), permeability and patlak blood volume (pBV) were measured and statistically analyzed by using Siemens Body peHusion software package. Results The mean BF, BV, Trs, TIP, permeability and pBV of normal pancreas were: (90.60±29.25) ml·100 ml-1·min-1, (190.35±43.8) ml/L, (205.3±160.2) s, (1403.5±334.0)s, (99.47±49.9) 0.5 ml·100 ml-1·min-1, (157.8±52.5) ml/L, respectively. The mean BF, BV, TTS, TrP, per-meability and pBV of pancreatic cancer were (22.9±10. 63) ml·100 ml-1·min-1, (52.38±18.08) ml/L, (194.3±76.0) s, (1549.5± 308.5)s, (115.25±33.55) 0.5 ml·100 ml-1·min-1, (83.16±41.45) ml/L respectively. The mean BF, BV, pBV and permeability between normal pancreas and pancreatic carcinoma were statistically significant (P<0.01). However the mean TTS and TIP between normal pancreas and pancreatic carcinoma were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion There are significant differences between perfusion values of pancreatic carcinoma and normal pancreatic tissue, and MSCT perfusion imaging is helpful in diagnosing pancreatic carcinoma.
