Objective:To investigate the mechanism of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor in down-regulating the expression of HER-2 in breast cancer cells and to provide an innovative therapeutic option to overcome the disadvantages of anti-HER-2 therapy. Meth-ods:HER-2-positive breast cell lines were treated with HDAC inhibitors. The changes in the gene and protein levels of HER-2 were de-tected by qPCR and Western blot. MiRNA microarray was used to identify the HDAC inhibitors, whereas qPCR was used to verify the miRNA expression. Results:In vitro cell experiments confirmed that the HDAC inhibitors TSA and SAHA can down-regulate the expres-sion of HER-2 in breast cancer cell lines. TSA can down-regulate the expression of HER-2 gene in BT474 and decrease the concentra-tions of 100 nmol by 10.7%and 200 nmol by 38.9%(P<0.05). TSA had no effect on the primary cells. The expression of HER-2 gene of BT474 was down-regulated by 93.9%(P<0.05) in the 5μmol/L group but not in the 1μmol/L group. SAHA significantly affected the pri-mary cells at a concentration of 1μmol/L and reduced the cells at 87.1%at a concentration of 5μmol/L. Seven miRNAs were identified from the miRNA microarray. MiR-762 was used as a basis to identify the changes in miRNA. The miRNA sputum identified by miRNA microarray and qPCR may be associated with the down-regulation of HER-2 by HDAC inhibitors. Conclusion: HDAC inhibitors may down-regulate the expression of HER-2 in breast cancer cells by changing some miRNAs.

Objective:To explore the skin damage, oxidative damage and DNA damage of welding workers caused by ultra violet.Methods:From 1 May to 30 June 2017, 125 welding workers were selected as the contact group, which was divided into 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10-year-working age groups with 25 workers in each group and 25 healthy volunteers as the control group. The workers in the contact group were investigated with questionnaires on the distribution and wearing of protective equipment; the subjects in the two groups were examined in dermatology, and the peripheral blood was collected to detect the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and DNA damage of mononuclear cells, and the influence of ultraviolet on the above indexes was analyzed.Results:The distribution rates of welding mask, dust mask and goggles were 100.0% (125/125) , 96.0% (120/125) , 98.4% (123/125) , respectively, and the distribution rates of welding gloves were 64.8% (81/125) ; the wearing rates of welding mask and goggles were 100.0% (125/125) , 90.4% (113/125) , and the wearing rates of dust mask and welding gloves were 89.6% (112/125) and 64.0% (80/125) , respectively. The acute skin injuries such as hand and face peeling and skin pruritus were serious in the 2-year-working age group, and the chronic skin injuries such as insensitive and numbness and verrucous vegetations were the main manifestations in the 10-year-working age group. Compared with the control group, T-AOC in peripheral blood of workers exposed to 6, 8 and 10 years decreased significantly, and DNA content in comet tail of workers exposed to various working years increased significantly ( P<0.05) , while DNA content in comet tail increased with working years ( F=1501.130, P<0.05) . Conclusion:UV welding can cause skin damage, reduce the antioxidant capacity of the body, and increase DNA damage with the increase of working age.

Objective To understand the various HPV types and the factors influencing their distribution among women with normal cervical cytology in the Shanghai area, to provide basic data for cervical cancer prevention and vaccine use.Methods A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 3 372 married women in the Shanghai area. A PCR reverse dot blot (PCR-RDB) method was adopted for HPV genotyping of cervical exfoliated cell samples from 3 206 women. Odds ratio (OR) for HPV infection were analyzed using logistic regression. Results Of the 3 206 women investigated, 669 (20.87%) were positive for HPV infection. The highest incidence of HPV infections was seen in the age groups of 55-59 years, 50-54 years and 45-49 years, with the rates of positive detection being 27.67%, 21.65%, and 21.55%, respectively. While 70.4% of the positive cases had a single infection, 29.6% showed multiple infections. In cases with multiple infections, double infection was predominant (20.63%). The top five high-risk gene types were HPV52(3.65%),HPV53(2.71%),HPV51(2.03%),HPV58(1.87%),and HPV16 (1.40%). The top three low-risk gene types were HPV81 (2.03%), HPV42 (1.43%), and HPV55 (1.31%). Among the women with HPV infections,there were 483 having medium-high-risk HPV infection.There were significant differences in the age,the age at first sexual activity,sexual activities per week,education,and alcohol consumption between HPV positive and HPV negative patients. Age stratification showed that the infection rates in the 55-59 years old group were significantly higher than that in the other age groups(χ2=15.349, P=0.000). Both single factor and multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analyses showed that higher education and the start of sexual activity at a later age were protective factors for medium-high-risk HPV infection,with regression coefficients of-0.165 and-0.08,respectively (P<0.01) in the multivariate analysis. The risk factors included age between 55- 59 years, menstrual status (menopause), sexual activity (≥3 times per week) and alcohol consumption. High-risk HPV infections also had the same risk factors,and the odds ratios were 1.558,1.275,and 1.678,respectively(P<0.01).However, 55-59 years of age and alcohol consumption are independent risk factors for medium-high risk HPV infection. Conclusions High-risk HPV in women of Shanghai is commonly caused by HPV52, HPV53, HPV51,HPV58,and HPV16.The high-risk group includes women who are 55-59 years old.While drinking is an independent risk factor for medium-high risk HPV infection, a moderate sex life and delayed age at first sex can reduce the risk of high-risk HPV infections.

Objective:To evaluate changes in operational effectiveness after the implementation of ambulatory surgical management in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. 17 528 surgeries in 10 895 eyes of 10 895 patients who underwent minimally invasive PPV on an ambulatory and/or inpatient basis at Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from August 2015 to June 2023 were included in this study. Among them, 5 346 eyes in 5 346 cases were male; 5 549 eyes in 5 549 cases were female. The age ranged from 0 to 95 years, with the mean age of (57.74±13.15) years. 6 381 surgeries in 3 615 eyes from August 2015 to December 2018 (the initial period of day surgery) were used as the control group; 11 147 surgeries in 7 280 eyes from January 2019 to June 2023 (the expanded period of day surgery) were used as the observation group. According to the management mode of ambulatory surgery, the observation group was subdivided into the decentralized management group (January 2019 to December 2020) and the centralized management group (January 2021 to June 2023), with 2 905 and 4 375 eyes and 4 646 and 6 501 surgeries, respectively. Changes in the percentage of day surgery, average hospitalization days, and average unplanned reoperation rate were compared. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare numerical variables between groups; the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used to compare categorical variables. Results:The number of cases of daytime PPV performed in the observation group and control group was 7 852 (70.44%, 7 852/11 147) and 24 (0.38%, 24/6 381) cases, respectively, and the average hospitalization days were 1 (1) and 5 (3) d. Compared with the control group, the observation group had a significantly higher percentage of day surgery ( χ2=8 051.01) and a considerably lower mean hospitalization day ( Z=4 536 844.50), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.000 1). The mean hospitalization days in the decentralized and centralized management groups were 2 (3) and 1 (0) d, respectively, and unplanned reoperations were 34 (0.73%, 34/4 646) and 171 (2.63%, 171/6 501) eyes, respectively. Compared with the decentralized management group, average hospitalization days was significantly lower ( Z=1 436.94) and unplanned reoperation rate was significantly higher ( χ2=54.10) were significantly lower in the centralized management group, both of which were statistically significant ( P<0.000 1). Conclusion:PPV ambulatory management model can significantly reduce the average hospitalization day, but also results in higher rates of unplanned reoperations.
