Objective To observe the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of curcumin on triple-negative breast cancer mouse model.Methods Human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were inoculated to the chest subcutaneous fat pad of mice(about 1 million cells in 0.1 mL cell suspension).At day 2 after tumor inoculation,nodules were seen at inoculation site (tumor formation rate being 100％).Forty successfully-modeled mice were randomly divided into low-,middle-,and high-dose curcumin groups (10,20,40 mg/kg) and model control group,10 mice in each group.The medication lasted for 30 continuous days.After medication,the blood was taken out from the orbital venous plexus,and the serum was separated for the detection of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents.Spleen was separated for the calculation of organ coefficient,tumor mass was weighed,and the expression levels of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 were detected by Western blotting method.Results Compared with the model control group,caspase-3 expression level was significantly increased in the three curcumin groups(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01),but the contents of TNF-α and IL-6,tumor weight,spleen index and Bcl-2 expression were significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Curcumin has inhibitory effect on triple-negative breast cancer mouse model through promoting the apoptosis of breast cancer cells.

Objective To study the prevalence and genotypes of rotavirus (RV) among children,< 5 years old hospitalized with viral diarrhea in Tianjin. Methods Stool specimens were collected from hospitalized diarrhea children in Tianjin children's hospital between May 2008 and April 2009. Detection of rotavirus was employed by Colloidal Gold Device. The detected positives were inoculated to MA-104 cells. The total RNA of virus was extracted after CPE which was caused by rotavirus were observed, The VP7 serotypes were determined by using RT-PCR to amplify the VP7 gene and sequencing the RT-PCR products.The clinical data for each patient were also collected. Results Among 837 specimens, the RV antigen positive rate was 26. 3% (220/837). Among all the children with rotavirus diarrhea, 90. 5% (199/220)were < 2 years old. The prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea in children peaked during Oct. 2008 through Apr.2009. Of the 208 rotavirus positive specimens, 95 were successfully identified by RT-PCR Thirty-five positive strains of RV were sequenced, and the sequencing results showed that 32 positive strains were belonged to rotavirus G1 type, 2 positive strains were belonged to rotavirus G3 type and 1 positive strain were belonged to rotavirus C9 type. Conclusion RV was the dominant etiological agent for infantile diarrhea infection in Tianjin, and the predominant serotype was G1.

Objective To study the pathogenic prevalence and genotypes of astrovirus among children under 5 years old hospitalized with diarrhea in Tianjin. Methods A total 837 stool specimens were collected from children with diarrhea hospitalized in Tianjin children's hospital from May 2008 to April 2009. Astrovirus antigens were detected using ELISA and the postive specimens were inoculated in CaCo-2cells. After the CPE caused by virus were observed, the total RNA of virus was extracted, then the genomc fragments of the strains were amplified by using RT-PCR and confirmed by sequencing of the RT-PCR products. Detection of rotavirus was employed by Colloidal Gold Device. Results Astrovirus antigen was found positive in 3.0% of the patients. The coinfection rate of astrovirus and rotavirus was 0. 7% (6/837).Ninety-six persent of children with astrovirus diarrhea were younger than 2 years of age, Forty-eight persent of children with astrovirus diarrhea were younger than 6 months. The astrovirus infections occurred mainly between August 2008 and April 2009. Of the 21 astrovirus positive specimens, 11 cases were successfully identified by RT-PCR and they were all serotype 1. Conclusion Astrovirus is a major cause of nonbacterical diarrhea between 2008 and 2009 in Tianjin, and the predominant serotype is type 1.

Objective To find humoral protein markers to develop new experimental diagnostic methods for tuberculous pleurisy. Methods Proteomes of 7 d and 14 d culture filtrate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growing in Middlebrook 7H9, serum and pleural effusion from five patients with tuberculous pleurisy were detected by surface-enhanced laser desorptionionization time-of-flight massspectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS). And the data were analyzed with descriptive statistics method to observed the protein components all owned by three kinds of proteome. Results From protein species, proteins of all culture filtrate were far more than that of pleural effusion and serum while proteins of pleural effusion in four cases were more than that of serum. The kinds of common proteins between culture filtrate and pleural effusion, between culture filtrate and serum, between serum and pleural effusion, among culture filtrate and pleural effusion and serum were different. But the protein of relative molecular mass of 2 660 depending on the ratio of mass to charge existed in all samples of culture filtrate, pleural effusion and serum. Conclusion The protein of relative molecular mass of 2 660 possess the latent quality as a specific humoral protein marker for tuberculous pleurisy. But it is essential that must be further confirmed among large samples.

Objective To find out factors related to avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head through a retrospective study of patients with femoral neck fractures treated with cannulated screws.Methods Two hundred and thirty cases of femoral neck fracture whn had been treated with cannulated screws in our department from August 1994 to October 2003 were analyzed statistically.Six factors of patient,age,gender,fracture type (Garden clas- sification),reduction method (close or open),the quality of reduction (Garden Index) and time interval from injury to surgery were analyzed statistically with rank sum test and logistic multiple regression.Results Factors that might have an impact on avascular necrosis of femoral head were ranked in the following likelihood sequence: fracture type,quality of reduction,reduction method,time interval from injury to surgery and age.Gender was found to have little impact on the prognosis of femoral neck fracture (P＞0.05).Conclusions Fracture displacement is the most critical factor that influences the prognosis.Anatomical reduction (close or open) must be achieved to re- duce the risk of AVN.Timing of surgery shows its importance.High age will not lead to an increased incidence of AVN.

Objective:To investigate the value of mammography and MRI parameters combined with red cell distribution width to lymphocyte ratio (RLR) in predicting recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer after modified radical surgery.Methods:104 female breast cancer patients who received improved radical surgery in Jiande First People’s Hospital from Jun. 2021 to Dec. 2023 were included as the study objects. The Japanese MGU-1000D MAMMOREX Pe.ru.ru DIGITAL mammography machine was used to examine each subject before surgery, and the X-ray signs of the primary tumor lesion were recorded, including maximum diameter, breast density, calcification, mass morphology, vascular signs and tumor margin. The primary tumor was evaluated by MRI using a MAGNETOM Verio magnetic resonance imaging machine and a dedicated breast examination coil, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was measured and automatically calculated, and the RLR was recorded.Results:There were 31 patients with recurrence and metastasis and 73 patients without recurrence or metastasis. The proportion of patients with clinical stage III and Ki67 level > 14% in postoperative recurrence and metastasis group was significantly higher than that in patients without recurrence and metastasis. The proportion of patients with calcification, vascular thickening, increase and burr at the edge of mass in the recurrence and metastasis group was significantly higher than that in the patients without recurrence or metastasis. The ADC value of patients with recurrence and metastasis after breast cancer surgery was 0.93±0.12, and that of patients without recurrence and metastasis was 1.08±0.15, the former was significantly lower than the latter, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.64, P<0.001). The RLR of peripheral blood in patients with recurrence and metastasis after breast cancer surgery was 21.36±2.39, and that of patients without recurrence and metastasis was 19.93±2.14, the former was significantly higher than the latter, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.37, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that axillary lymph node metastasis, vascularization, thickening, burr on tumor edge, small ADC value and large peripheral blood RLR were independent risk factors for recurrence and metastasis after breast cancer surgery ( P<0.05). ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve of the logistic regression model based on the above factors was 0.860 (0.798-0.921), the sensitivity was 80.4%, and the specificity was 81.8%. Conclusion:Mammogram and MRI parameters combined with peripheral blood RLR level have certain value in predicting recurrence and metastasis after modified radical breast cancer surgery.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of the modified M-shaped flap for repairing defects following resection of lower lip cancer and to provide a reference for clinical application. Methods : Fourteen cases using modified M-shaped flaps to repair lower lip cancer surgery defects were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative follow-up patients’ flap survival, mouth opening, denture use, bilateral mouth angle symmetry, recurrence and survival were analyzed. Results : Fourteen patients with lower lip cancer underwent reconstruction immediately after surgery, and the defect range after tumor resection was 30% to 50% of the lower lip. The continuity of the orbicularis oculi muscle is reconstructed by modified M-shaped flap to transfer bilateral residual lip tissue. The blood supply to the flap is stable. All patients’ flaps survived completely without complications, such as hemorrhage, infection or flap necrosis, and their lip movement and sensation recovered well. There were no obvious obstacles in opening and closing or pronunciation and dietary function, and the mean maximum opening was (3.06 ± 0.23) cm. Three patients used active dentures, which could be removed normally. All patients’mouths were preserved. Approximately 85.7% of patients (12/14) had bilateral symmetry of the bilateral mouth, the flaps matched the facial color, and the lower lip was naturally beautiful, as the scar was not obvious. After 6 months to 4 years of follow-up (mean 2 years and 6 months), no recurrence or death occurred. Conclusion The modified M-shaped valve design is simple and easy to operate. This method can be applied to 30% to 50% defect reconstructions of the lower lip to retain the corner of the mouth.

In recent years, the incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) keeps increasing. Siewert type II and type III AEG invades at 2?4 cm in the lower esophagus, and it has a higher rate of lower mediastinal lymph node metastasis. Lower mediastinal lymph node clearing through the abdomino?transhiatal (TH) approach is preferred, which can be accomplished by entering the lower mediastinum through the hiatus and mobilize the esophagus upward and the surrounding lymph and connective tissue for approximately 6.5 cm. Using the infracardiac bursa (IBC) as an anatomical landmark improves the safety and operability of the thorough dissection of the lower mediastinum. Total resection of the mesenterium at the esophagogastric junction can entirely dissect the lower mediastinal lymph nodes, which conforms to the safety principles in oncology.
