Objective To investigate expression of 14-3-3 sigma gene in patients with breast cancer and its clinical significance.Methods Expression of 14-3-3 sigma gene was semi-quantitated by using RT-PCR and western-blot in 40 specimens of breast cancer and 18 specimens benign breast disease tissue.Results Of 40 cases of breast cancer 35(87.5%)were negative for 14-3-3 sigma gene in RT-PCR,32(80%)were negative in Western-blot,and 31(77.5%)were negative in both RT-PCR and western-blot.Besides,the expression in 2 cases was down-regulation in both the 2 method.In 18 specimens with benign breast disease tissue the expression of 14-3-3 sigma gene was detectable,which was demonstrated by RT-PCR or western-blot.Conclusion Inactivation and down-regulation of 14-3-3 sigma gene is a frequent event in breast cancer,and it may contribute to diagnosis of breast cancer.

Objective To compare the effects of mizolastine intensive dose and mizolastine conventional dose+momestasone furoate on symptom score and laboratory index of patients with allergic rhinitis caused by pollen allergy.Methods From June 2016 to January 2018,one hundred and fifty allergic rhinitis patients caused by pollen allergy were chosen in the First People's Hospital of Taizhou and randomly divided into two groups according to the digital table,with 75 patients in each group.A group was treated with mizolastine intensive dose scheme,and B group was treated with mizolastine conventional dose +momestasone furoate. The short -term efficacy,rhinitis symptoms score,the levels of histamine,leukotrienes C4,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α before and after treatment,the incidence of adverse reactions and daily treatment cost of the two groups were compared.Results The short-term efficacy of B group was significantly better than that of A group(93.33% vs.81.33% ,χ2 =9.15,P<0.05).The rhinitis symptoms scores of B group[(0.49 ± 0.19)points,(1.02 ± 0.20) points,(0.95 ± 0.28) points,(0.84 ± 0.20)points] after treatment were significantly lower than those of A group [(0.87 ± 0.21) points,(1.40 ± 0.24) points,(1.63 ± 0.36)points,(1.19 ± 0.27) points] and before treatment[(3.13 ± 1.06) points,(2.88 ± 0.57) points,(2.81 ± 0.79)points,(2.85 ± 0.61)points](t=2.45,2.71,2.66,2.89,3.78,3.75,3.44,4.53,all P<0.05).The levels of histamine,leukotrienes C4,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α of B group[(15.76 ± 3.54) mg/L,(12.17 ± 3.58) mg/L, (1.23 ± 0.19)mg/L,(3.27 ± 0.62)mg/L,(3.96 ± 1.05)mg/L] after treatment were significantly lower than those of A group [(19.58 ± 5.25) mg/L,(15.44 ± 4.14) mg/L,(1.96 ± 0.33)mg/L,(5.40 ± 0.88) mg/L,(5.01 ± 1.40)mg/L] and before treatment[(24.57 ± 7.67) mg/L,(18.90 ± 6.33) mg/L,(2.58 ± 0.54) mg/L,(7.66 ± 1.17)mg/L,(6.81 ± 1.67)mg/L](t=2.31,2.50,2.53,2.39,3.05,3.60,3.10,3.57,3.90,all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P >0.05).The daily treatment cost of B group after treatment was significantly less than that of A group and before treatment[(7.56 ± 1.02)CNY vs.(6.88 ± 0.80)CNY,t=3.12,P<0.05].Conclusion Compared with mizolas-tine intensive dose scheme,mizolastine conventional dose + momestasone furoate in the treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis caused by pollen allergy can efficiently relieve the nasal symptoms, down - regulate the levels of histamine,leukotriene C4 and inflammatory cytokines,reduce the treatment cost and has the approved safety.

Objective To clone express and purify Schistosoma japonicum fructose?1 6?bisphosphate aldolase SjFBPA in E. coli and observe its expression in different developmental stages of S. japonicum. Methods FBPA gene was amplified from S. japonicum adult worm cDNA by using PCR. The amplified product was recombined into pET28a plasmid and inducibly expressed with IPTG in E. coli BL21. SDS?PAGE and Western blotting were employed to analyze and identify the recombinant protein SjFBPA rSjFBPA . Then rSjFBPA was purified by chromatographic purification and its purity was analyzed by SDS?PAGE. The protein concentration of rSjFBPA purified was measured by the BCA method. Furthermore SjFBPA mRNA was ana?lyzed in different developmental stages of S. japonicum by RT?PCR. Results SjFBPA was successfully amplified by using PCR and identified by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. The Western blotting analysis confirmed that the recombinant pro?tein could specifically reactive to the anti?His?tag monoclonal antibody. The concentration of the purified recombinant protein was about 4 mg/ml. The result of RT?PCR showed that SjFBPA mRNA was expressed in cercaria schistosomulum adult worm and egg of S. japonicum. Conclusion SjFBPA is successfully recombined and expressed in a prokaryotic system and SjFBPA mRNA is expressed in cercaria schistosomulum adult worm and egg of S. japonicum.

Objective:
To explore the high expression level of serum heat shock protein 90α(HSP90α) and gene HSP90 AA1 in cancer tissue, and to discover the prognosis of lung cancer.
Methods:
A total of 109 cases of lung cancer were collected as the experimental group; 38 lung inflammation groups as the reference group; and 30 healthy controls. The serum HSP90α levels between the three groups were compared; the correlation between HSP90α and clinical parameters were analyzed. The TCGA data were used to analyze the correlation between the expression level of HSP90 AA1 and various pathological features, as well as its influence on the prognosis of lung cancers.
Results:
The serum HSP90α concentrations in the experimental group were higher than those of the reference group and the control group(P<0.05). The ROC curve area of HSP90α in the diagnosis of lung cancer was 0.898(P<0.05); the expression of HSP90α in the lung squamous cell carcinoma group(LUSC) and the small cell lung cancer group(SCLC) were higher than those in lung adenocarcinoma group(LUAD)(P<0.05); the level of HSP90α decreased when condition alleviated, while increased significantly when disease progressed(P<0.05); Further TCGA database showed that the expression of HSP90 AA1 in cancer tissues was higher than that of adjacent cancer tissues(P<0.05),meanwhile, remarkably increased in LUSC compared with in LUAD(P<0.05). The expression of HSP90 AA1 has no significant correlation with the age, gender, clinical stage, and tumor residue of lung cancer patients. Survival analysis and Cox regression analysis showed that high expression of HSP90 AA1 reduced the overall survival(OS) of lung cancer patients; HSP90 AA1 was an independent prognostic factor for lung cancer patients.
Conclusion
Serum HSP90α and HSPAA1 in cancer tissues are elevated in patients with lung cancer, which should be used as an auxiliary diagnosis method for lung cancer. Meanwhile they should be used for therapeutic effect observation and survival status prediction.
