Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)is difficult to benefit from endocrine therapy or tras-tuzumab targeted drug therapy.Biological overexpression of breast cancer susceptibility gene 1,p53 gene,vas-cular endothelial growth factor and microRNA suggests that TNBC is easy to metastasis and recurrence and has a poor prognosis.Exploring the molecular subtypes of TNBC,setting out the treatment plan for subtypes and finding the corresponding monoclonal antibody targets are the research direction of TNBC in the future.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy and the difference of intervention in appendix inflammatory mass by heavenly cool-inducing technique adopted distant and neighboring point selection. Methods Eighty patients of the appendix inflammatory mass with toxic heat syndrome were randomly divided into control group, distant point selection group, neighboring point selection group, and combined group, 20 cases in each group. The control group adopted the conventional western medicine treatment. On the basis of control group, the rest 3 acupuncture groups adopted the heavenly cool-inducing technique for 14 d. The distant point selection group chose Hegu point and Lanwei point;the neighboring point selection group chose Ashi point and Tianshu point (right);the combined group put them together. The longest diameter and three-dimensional volume of inflammatory mass were determined before and after treatment. The serum levels of white blood cells, C-reactive protein were determined at the same time, and then the clinical effective was estimated. Results The longest diameter, three-dimensional volume of inflammatory mass, the serum levels of white blood cells, and C-reactive protein of patients in 4 groups were reduced after treatment. The above indicators in patients of 3 acupuncture groups were lower than the ones in control group, the indicators in combined group were the lowest (P<0.05, P<0.01), and there was no difference between distant and neighboring point selection groups (P>0.05). The invalid number of cases in 3 acupuncture groups were fewer than the one in control group, and the indicators in combined group were fewest (P<0.05, P<0.01), with no difference between distant and neighboring point selection groups (P>0.05). Conclusion There is obvious therapeutic efficacy of heavenly cool-inducing technique to appendix inflammatory mass, while the combination of distant and neighboring point selection is better than the single methods.

Cervical cancer is a common malignancy in women. Surgery and radiotherapy are the main therapeutic approaches. The recurrence rate of cervical cancer is high and the prognosis is relatively poor. Recurrent cervical cancer can be classified into the central pelvic, lateral pelvic and extra-pelvic recurrence. The management of recurrent cervical cancer mainly depends on previous therapeutic approaches and the recurrence site. Surgical resection is the optimal option for patients who have no history of radiotherapy, if feasible, chemoradiotherapy±brachytherapy can be considered. Patients with central pelvic recurrence after radiotherapy are suitable candidates for pelvic exenteration±intraoperative radiotherapy. However, the indications are highly selective, the incidence of postoperative complications is high and the quality of life is poor. Patients with lateral pelvic recurrence after radiotherapy could be treated by re-radiotherapy or chemotherapy. However, the incidence of serious side effects of re-radiotherapy is higher than that of the initial radiotherapy. The indications for stereotactic body radiotherapy are limited and the surgical skill of the surgeons is demanding. In recent years, radiotherapy technology has become more precise. Image-guided brachytherapy, such as high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy and radioactive 125I seed implantation, has achieved high efficacy and safety, which may provide new treatment options for recurrent cervical cancer. In this article, research progress on brachytherapy for recurrent cervical cancer was summarized and reviewed.

RNA dot blot hybridization was employed to investigate the alterations in C-myc, C-H-ras transcript levels in bone marrow and peripheral blood cells from 24 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. 10 cases of normal bone marrow cells were used as control. We found that the positive rates and intensities of expression of C-myc and C-H-ras in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were hipher than those of normal control. The C-myc and C-H-ras expressed simultaneously in 10 patients. After having been cultured 5 days with RA and low dose Ara-C combined with low dose Harr, the C-myc transcipt level of C-myc in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia was decreased obviously.

Objective To observe endothelial and fibrinolytic functions of atrial fibrillation(AF)dogs induced by chronic rapid atrial pacing and effects of cilazapril on it and to investigate the mechanism of thrombogenesis in AF.Methods From January to August of 2004,16 dogs were randomly divided into control group(n=8)and cilazapril group(n=8).All dogs were paced at 400 bpm for 6 weeks by AOO pacemaker.The dogs in cilazapril group received cilazapril(1mg?kg-1?d-1)from 1week before pacing to 6 weeks after pacing.Plasma angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ),von Willebrand factor(vWF),tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA)and plasminogen activator inhibitors-1(PAI-1)level were measured before and after rapid pacing respectively.Results After rapid atrial pacing,plasma AngⅡ,vWF,t-PA and PAI-1 level increased significantly in control group dogs(AngⅡ:(349.9?28.3)ng/L vs(198.4?19.4)ng/L,P

Objective To explore the Activation function of the bifidobacterium adolescence cell wall(BCW)on macrophage in abdominal cavity of mice and tumor-inhibition of BCW on human transitional cell carcinoma of bladder(BTCC)in vitro.Methods ①Twenty KM mice were randomly divided into two groups:control group(n=10)and BCW injection group(n=10).BCW was distilled by ultrasonic cell disintegrator.Then the BCW was injected into abdominal cavity of the BCW injection group mice,physiological saline was injected into the control group mice,then all the mice were killled,macrophage in abdominal cavity was collected under the condition of asepsis,the level of IL-2 and IFN-? which produced by macrophage was determined by ELISA reagent box;②The role of tumor-inhibition of BCW on human transitional cell carcinoma of bladder(BTCC,T24)in vitro was determined by MTT method:The cell of T24 in the stage of logarithmic growth was digested,inoculated in cell raise board,cultivated after 24 hours,different concentration of BCW were added into each hole,cultivated continually,replaced nutrient fluid on 1th day,3th day,5th day,MTT was added into each hole too,cultivated continually,DMSO was added into each hole,vibrated,shaked up,determined the A value at 490nm by ELIASA,calculated the tumor-inhibition rate;Observed the growth state under microscope:The cell of T24 in the stage of logarithmic growth was inoculated in cell raise board that comprise microscope slides,cultivated after 24 hours,BCW were added into each hole,cultivated continually,took out two slides after 24 hours,72 hours,120 hours,stained,observed the change of the shape of T24 under microscope,changed the culture liquid only on control group.each time.Results The level of IL-2 and IFN-? of BCW injection group was higher than of control group(P

To investigate the effect of melatonin(Mel) on follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), estradiol(E 2) and ovulation, 100 healthy women were divided into 5 groups to take 0mg, 12mg, 30mg, 75mg, and 300mg Mel per day, respectively, for 3 months. The levels of FSH, LH, E 2 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) before and after medication, the development of dominant follicle was detected by ultrasound. We have found that the levels of FSH, LH and E 2 were all lower and the dominant follicle was smaller than those of the control (0mg) group at 3 months. In this study we demonstrated the direct involvement of melatonin in modulation of the female reproductive system in a dose-dependent manner, and it may be put into effect through melatonin receptors in human hypothalamus-pitutary-ovary cells.

To investigate the role of malnutrition on expression of thymus melatonin receptor(MR), rats were fed with low protein diet to induce an experimental animal model of malnutrition. MR was detected by radioligand binding assay. In malnourished rats before pregnancy and those during pregnancy, the thymus development in their offsprings was retarded, and the expression of MR was lower than that of the controls. After fed with standard diet,the development of the thymus and the MR in the infant rats improved significantly. The results suggest that malnutrition can retard the development of thymus, so the production of MR in thymus is lowered, and this may affect the physiological role of melatonin.
