Objective To investigate the effect of Iodine 125 seeds short time low dose rate irradiation on perineural invasion (PNI) in pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells,and explore its molecular mechanism.Methods The co-culture model was established by co-culturing the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of SD rat and Capzn-2 cells line,while Capan-2 culture model and DRG culture model was also established.Iodine 125 seeds short time low dose rate irradiation tablet was used for the 3 models,and the model without irradiation was used as control.Cancer cell and DRG growth was observed under inverted microscopy,surface of neurite and cell colony growth was determined by image analysis software.The concentration of nerve growth factor (NGF),transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) in cell culture supernatant and matrigel solution was tested by ELISA,and the expression of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results In the co-culture model,neurite of DRG showed a direction to cancer cells and had a concentrated growth towards cancer cells.And Capan-2 cells formed more colonies towards neurite.However,in irradiation groups,the symbiotic phenomenon was inhibited to some degree.Increased surface of neurite in co-culture model at 5th day was 290.15 ± 12.08,which was significantly higher than that in DRG group (124.83 ± 6.96,P ＜ 0.01),but the surface of neurite was decreased to 201.53 ± 12.20 after irradiation (P ＜0.01).Increased surface of Capan-2 cell was 300.47 ± 12.99,which was significantly higher than that in Capan-2 group (199.30 ± 8.60,P ＜ 0.01),but the surface of Capan-2 was decreased to 202.35 ± 7.97 after irradiation (P ＜ 0.01).NT-3 mRNA was seldom or not expressed in supernatant of co-culture model,but it was strongly expressed (0.68 ± 0.04) after irradiation (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of NGF and TGF-α in supernatant of co-culture model were (27.56 ± 13.73),(40.86 ± 20.73) ng/ml,after irradiation they were increased to (94.98 ± 33.80),(157.54 ± 83.76) ng,/ml,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05 or ＜0.01).The concentration of NGF and TGF-α in matrigel lysate of co-culture model were (60.42 ± 33.03),(64.39 ± 21.52)ng/ml,after irradiation they were increased to (132.52 ±53.01),(138.38 ±83.58)ng/ml,and the difference of NGF concentration between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Iodine-125 seeds short-time low-dose rate irradiation could inhibit interactions between nerve and Capan-2 cells,and the mechanism may be related to up-regulation of cancer cells perineural invasion promoter NGF,TGF-α and NT-3.

Objective To test different expression protein markers of the serum from B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma(B-cell NHL) between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma(FL)patients using sudace enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry(SELDI-TOF-MS)protein chip technology. Further, to test different expression of the protein markers of B-eell NHL patients after chemical therapy in order to discuss clinical significance. Methods Different expression of protein markers were analysed in serum between 54 B-cell NHL patients and 27 healthy volunteers by using SELDI-TOF-MS WCX-2 pertein chip. Meanwhile different expression of protein markers relative to pathology classification between 23 DLBCL patients and 12 FL patients were screened; and protein markers which affected prognosis of 23 DLBCL patients were screened. Results There were five specific marker proteins in 54 B-cell NHL patients and 27 healthy volunteers. Their relative molecular weights were 7974, 15 938, 3398,8564, and 8692. The protein markers of 7974 and 15 938 were at high level in patients and the protein markers of 3398, 8564 and 8692 were at low level in patients. There were two protein markers which affected the prognosis, with better outcome when the expression of 4795 and 4998 were increased. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS protein chip technology is a quick, easy and convenient method, with high-throughput analyzer which can screen several relatively specific protein markers from the serum of patients to diagnose B-cell NHL The relatively specific protein markers can be used to make pathology classification and to judge the prognosis of B-cell NHL, and have better clinical value.

Objective To research correlation of serum protein spectrometry and lymphoma markers for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Whether there is relative between the protein and prognosis will be further researched. Methods Serum protein spectrometry of 62 DLBCL patients was detected by the SELDI-TOF-MS technique and Weak cation exchange 2 (WCX2) chip. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected by biochemistry method. Beta-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and cancer antigen125(CA125)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of LDH, β2-MG and CA125 for DLBCL patients between 11×103～12×103 protein expressed positively and negatively was analyzed. Meanwhile,correlation analysis and survival analysis were done. Results LDH, β2-MG and CA125 in 11×103～12×103protein expressed positive group were (523.30±435.96)U/L, (3.23±1.24)mg/L, (81.07±61.39)U/L respectively,and they were higher than that in negative group (P＜0.05). 11×103～12×103 protein was positive correlated to LDH, β2-MG and CA125 (P＜0.01). The survival time in 11×103～12×103 protein expressed in positive group,in which median survival time was 11 months, was shorter than that in negative group(P ＜0.01). The survival time in LDH normal group was longer than that in increased group(P ＜0.01). The survival time of β2-MG and CA125 had no significant difference between increased group and normal group. Conclusion LDH and 11×103～12×103 protein are expected to be prognosis indicators for DLBCL patients.

Objective: To analyze the current status of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among freshmen in boarding middle schools in Longgang District, Shenzhen, so as to provide reference for formulating tuberculosis prevention and control strategies in the next stage. Methods: Data for tuberculosis health examination conducted among primary and secondary school students in Longgang District of Shenzhen in September 2022 to May 2023 were utilized to analyze the latent tuberculosis infection rate, and to explore the differences in latent tuberculosis infection rate among different grades, school nature, school categories and school levels. Results: The latent tuberculosis infection rate among freshmen in boarding secondary schools in Longgang District, Shenzhen in 2022 was 2.45%. The infection rate among full middle school (6.45%) and high school (3.37%) were higher than that in boarding junior high school (0.28%), nine year education school (0) and twelve year education school (1.00%) ( P <0.01). Moreover, the infection rate of high school freshmen (2.68%) was higher than that of bording junior high school (0.33%), and the rate of public schools (2.87%) and municipal schools (3.24%) were higher than those of private schools (1.78%) and distric-level schools (2.13%) respectively, with statistical significance observed for all differences( χ 2=43.58, 25.15, 22.69, P <0.01). Conclusions The latent tuberculosis infection rate among new boarding secondary students is relatively low in Longgang District of Shenzhen. However, the infection rate is higher in high school, public and municipal school. School should fully guarantee sports participation of students, enhance students awareness of tuberculosis through health knowledge lectures, and reduce the incidence of tuberculosis among students.

Objective To investigate the serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentrations and related factors in early pregnancy. Methods Plasma was collected in the first trimester from 23 396 pregnant women to inves-tigate the vitamin D level, and its distribution and differences in different age, body maxx index ( BMI) and seasons between primipara and multipara. Preterm birth was used as an indicator of clinical outcomes. Vitamin D concentrations were measured using chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay. Results 25-hydroxy vi-tamin D level was 42. 0 (17. 6-76. 6) nmol/L in totally 23 396 pregnant women with early pregnancy, and 5% and 95% percentile sites of vitamin D level were 20. 2 nmol/L and 70. 7 nmol/L respectively. There were 18 170 (77. 7%) primiparas and 5 226 (22. 3%) multiparas, with the mean age of 30. 0 (24. 0-38. 0) years and BMI of 20. 7 (16. 5-27. 6) kg/m2. The number of cases detected in spring (March, April and May), summer (June, July and August), autumn (September, October and November months) and winter (Decem-ber, January and February) were 5 878, 5 554, 5 974, and 5 990, respectively, and the vitamin D levels were 40. 0 (29. 3, 52. 7) nmol/L, 46. 2 (35. 6, 57. 2) nmol/L, 43. 8 (33. 1, 54. 8) nmol/L and 37. 2 (26. 9, 49. 9) nmol/L respectively, with the difference in vitamin D levels statistically significant among the four seasons (P<0. 001). According to BMI, all pregnant women were divided into four groups as BMI<18. 5 kg/m2, 18. 5 kg/m2≤BMI≤23. 9 kg/m2, 24 kg/m2≤BMI≤27. 9 kg/m2, BMI≥28 kg/m2, and the levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D were 43. 5 (30. 9, 56. 9) nmol/L, 42. 1 (30. 8, 53. 8) nmol/L, 39. 9 (30. 7, 50. 4) nmol/L and 39. 7 (30. 7, 49. 4) nmol/L respectively with the difference statistically significant among the four groups. The levels of vitamin D detected in pregnant women with age<25 years, 25~29 years, 30~34 years,≥35 years were 39. 1 ( 28. 4, 52. 3) nmol/L, 41. 3 ( 30. 1, 52. 9) nmol/L, 42. 4 ( 31. 2, 54. 1) nmol/L and 43. 8 (31. 9, 55. 7) nmol/L respectively and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 001). The levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in primary and multiparas were 41. 6 (30. 2, 52. 9) nmol/L and 43. 5 (32. 5, 56. 8) nmol/L with the difference statistically significant (P<0. 001). Among women of different gestational age during childbirth, the differences in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D in early pregnancy were not statistically significant (P=0. 121). The severe deficiency of vitamin D in early pregnancy was defined as serum level of 25-hydroxy vita-min D less than 5th level. There were statistical differences in the probability of severe vitamin D deficiency of dif-ferent ages, seasons and BMI between primiparas and multiparas. Conclusions Pregnant women of lower weight, lower age and primiparity have higher incidence of the severe vitamin D deficiency in early trimester of pregnancy. There is significant difference in 25-hydroxy vitamin D level among the different seasons (winter

Objective: To explore the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with modified labeled method in labeling sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer in comparison with nano-carbon stained method. Methods: Eighty female breast cancer patients who underwent surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between July 2017 and April 2019 were enrolled. Sentinel lymph nodes in all patients were labeled by contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with modified labeled method and nano-carbon stained method, respectively. The consistency of first lymph node labeled by the two methods was judged, the number of SLNs labeled by two methods was counted, and the pathology of the labeled SLN was compared with that after axillary dissection. Results: The two methods have good consistency in locating sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer(Kappa=0.749, P=0.000). The number of SLNs labeled by modified labeling method was significantly less than that labeled by stained method(Z=-7.434, P=0.000). The pathology of lymph nodes labeled by both the modified labeling method and stained method coincided well with that of axillary dissection(Kappa=0.941, 0.943; P=0.000, 0.000), and diagnostic efficiency was comparable(AUC=0.964, 0.967). Conclusions Contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with modified labeling method is simple and accurate in labeling sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer. Accurate assessment of axillary lymph node staging can be made by precise biopsy of 1-2 SLNs.
