To identify Salvia shandongensis and its relatives at molecular level, the psbA-trnH intergenic region of three species including Salvia shandongensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba were amplified and sequenced. Sequences were assembled with CodonCode Aligner. The K2P genetic distances between Salvia shandongensis and its relatives were calculated and UPGMA tree was performed by MEGA5.0. The results indicated that the lengths of psbA-trnH regions of Salvia shandongensis were about 391 bp, while the lengths of psbA-trnH regions of Salvia miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba were about 386 bp. The psbA-trnH sequences showed considerable variations between species and thus were revealed as a promising candidate for barcoding of Salvia shandongensis and its relatives. The intra-specific genetic distances of Salvia shandongensis were 0, while the intra-specific genetic distances of Salvia miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba were 0.002 and 0.001 respectively. Additionally, the genetic distance of Salvia shandongensis and Salvia miltiorrhiza ranged from 0.034 to 0.04, and the genetic distance of Salvia shandongensis and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba ranged from 0.005 to 0.008, the intra-specific genetic distances of Salvia shandongensis were much smaller than that of Salvia miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba; clustering results showed that there were obvious differences between Salvia shandongensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba, which was consistent with morphological characteristics. This study not only firstly provides the scientific basis for establishing the taxonomy position in molecular level and revealing their genetic relationships of S. shandongensis, S. miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba; but also provides DNA molecular identification scientific basis for the development of new medicinal plant resources of Salvia shandongensis. Our results suggest that the psbA-trnH intergenic spacer region can be used as a barcoding to identify Salvia shandongensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alba.

Objective To evaluate the value of MicroPure imaging system of ultrasonography in display of breast calcification,and explore its clinical application value.Methods One hundred and forty-one patients underwent by mammography,conventional ultrasound imaging and MicroPure imaging,the mammography results were reference standard,observing the display rate of MicroPure imaging for calcification,and the value of MicroPure imaging in the display of calcification with different shapes on mammography.As the pathologic diagnosis was golden standard,the accuracy of diagnosis of conventional ultrasound,conventional ultrasound combined with MicroPure imaging,conventional ultrasound combined with mammography were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve.Results The display case of calcifications within breast masses:the specificity of MieroPure imaging was lower than conventional ultrasound(88.14％ vs 100％,P ＜ 0.05),the sensitivity and accuracy were higher than conventional ultrasound(100％ vs 62.79％,93.14％ vs 84.31 ％,P ＜0.05).The display case of microcalcifications within normal breast tissue:the specificity and accuracy of MicroPure software system were lower than conventional ultrasound(9.26％ vs 100％,43.87％ vs 65.96％,P ＜0.05),the sensitivity was higher than conventional ultrasound (100％ vs 20.00％,P ＜0.05).The punctate calcification,amorphous calcification,rough uneven,pleomorphic calcifications on mammography were all hyperechoic spots on MicroPure software system.The area under the ROC curve of the conventional ultrasound,conventional ultrasound combined with MicroPure imaging,conventional ultrasound combined with MicroPure imaging was 0.881,0.858,0.932,respectively.Conclusions MicroPure imaging has some clinical value on microcalcifications within breast masses,which can improve its sensitivity and accuracy.The specificity of MicroPure imaging diagnostic ultrasound imaging of microcalcifications were lower,and it can not distinguish between different shapes of calcifications.Compared with conventional ultrasound,MicroPure imaging system can not improve the accuracy of diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the maximum elastic modulus(Emax) of breast cancer obtained by shear-wave elastography (SWE) and immunohistochemical profiles. Methods: One hundred and sixty patients with 171 pathologically proven breast lesions were included in this study. All of them underwent conventional ultrasound and SWE examination before surgery. The Emax and maximum diameter were obtained. Histologic grade, immunohistochemical profiles ER, PR, HER-2, Ki-67 and molecular subtypes were recorded according to pathological results after surgery. The correlation between Emax and tumor size, histological grade, ER, PR, HER-2, Ki-67 and molecular subtypes were analyzed. Results: ①There was a positive correlation between the tumor size with Emax(r=0.510, P<0.05); ②The Emax of tumors with HER-2 positive expression were higher than that with HER-2 negative expression(P<0.05), the Emax of tumors with Ki67 high expression were higher than that with Ki67 low expression (P<0.05); ③There were significant differences in Emax between different molecular subtypes(P<0.05), the Emax of HER-2 positive tumor was the highest, followed by those of Luminal B tumor, triple-negative and Luminal A tumor; ④Multiple linear regression indicated that tumor size was the strongest pathologic determinate of Emax value(P<0.05), its standardized partial regression coefficient was 0.500, and HER-2 also had significant influence on Emax value of tumor(P<0.05), the standardized partial regression coefficient was 0.237. Conclusions Some prognosis immunohistochemical feature of breast cancer showed association with the Emax. Breast cancers with higher Emax at shear-wave elastography had poor prognostic features. To some extend, the value of Emax can reflect the biological characteristics of breast cancer, SWE may provide a certain imaging basis for the prognosis of breast cancer and the choice of treatment plan.

Objective:To explore the relationship between cardiac discomfort symptoms, fear of disease progress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) after discharge, and to clarify main intervention direction of PTSD in patients with AMI.Methods:Patients with AMI who were discharged from Tangshan Gongren Hospital between 1 month and 1 year were selected from November 2019 to November 2020.The cardiac discomfort symptoms scale, fear of progress questionnaire(FoP-Q-SF) and post-traumatic stress disorder self-rating scale(PTSD-SS) were used to investigate cardiac discomfort symptoms, fear of disease progress level and post-traumatic stress disorder status.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between cardiac discomfort symptoms, fear of disease progress and post-traumatic stress disorder by SPSS 24.0 software. The mediating effect of fear of disease progress was analyzed by AMOS 24.0 software.Results:The PTSD score was (32.78±12.38) of patients with AMI discharged from hospital for 1 month to 1 year and the incidence of PTSD was 12.3%.Spearman correlation test showed cardiac discomfort symptoms and fear of disease progress were positively correlated with PTSD( r=0.530, 0.723, both P<0.01) and cardiac discomfort symptoms was positively correlated with fear of disease progress( r=0.518, P<0.01). Mediating effect test showed that fear of disease progress was a complete mediator between cardiac discomfort symptoms and PTSD. Conclusion:Cardiac discomfort symptoms can affect PTSD through a complete mediator of fear of disease progress.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the risk factors for the recurrence of ischemic stroke after secondary prevention ，and to observe the effect of glutathione on 4-HNE. METHODS ：Totally 97 patients with ischemic stroke relapse within one year were treated from Oct. 2017 to Oct. 2019 in 3 hospitals as the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University due to cerebral thrombosis or cerebral embolism as observation group ，and 97 non-recurrence patients in the same period were paired as control group. The patients in the observation group were randomly divided into conventional treatment group （49 cases）and drug intervention group （48 cases）. The patients in conventional treatment group received routine treatment such as cerebral blood flow recanalization， improving circulation ， controlling blood pressure ， maintaining blood glucose ， treating hyperlipidemia and arrhythmia during hospitalization. Drug intervention group was additionally given Glutathione for injection 1.8 g intragastrically ， once a day ，on the basis of conventional treatment group. 4-HNE concentrations in plasma were determined at admission and 14 days after treatment ，the genetic type of ALDH2 and type of TAST were determined at admission. Multiple liner regression was used to analyze the factors associated with 4-HNE increasing ； conditional Logistic analysis was used to identify independent risk factors resulting to ischem ic stroke recurrence after secondary prevention. RESULTS ：The plasma concentration of 4-HNE at admission and the percentage of arte ry atherosclerosis patients in observation group were significantly higher than control group（P＜0.05）. The distribution of each ALDH2 genotype in 2 groups complied with Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium （P＞ 0.05）. The proportion of patients carrying ALDH2*2 allele in observation group （50.50％）was significantly higher than control group（36.08％）（P＜0.05）. ALDH2*2 allele [ B＝2.33，95％CI（1.35，5.50），P＝0.03] and artery atherosclerosis [ B＝1.90，95％CI （1.29，3.74），P＝0.04] were significantly associated with the elevation of plasma concentration of 4-HNE；artery atherosclerosis [OR＝ 2.93，95％CI（1.84，4.67），P＜0.01]，stroke family history [OR ＝1.50，95％CI（1.18，1.90），P＝0.04]，elevated plasma concentration of 4-HNE [OR ＝1.34，95％CI（1.11，1.62），P＝0.04] were regarded as independent risk factors associating with ischemic stroke recurrence after secondary prevention. After intervention ，plasma concentration of 4-HNE in drug intervention group and conventional treatment group was significantly lower than before intervention （P＜0.05）；there was no statistical significance between 2 groups（P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Stroke family history ，artery atherosclerosis and the elevation plasma concentration of 4-HNE are independent risk factors associating with ischemic stroke recurrence after secondary prevention. Although drug intervention can reduce the elevated plasma concentration of 4-HNE，the effect of additional use of glutathione is not more significant than that of conventional treatment.
