Objective To investigate the impact of Ruai-Kangfu decoction on the quality of life of the patients with breast cancer after operation.Methods A total of 107 patients with breast cancer who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the control group (54 patients) and observation group (53 patients). The control group was treated with the radiotherapy and chemotherapy and symptomatic support treatment. The observation group was treated with the Ruai-Kangfu decoction on the basis of the control group. The 2 groups were treated for 12 months, followed up for 6 months. The European Organization for research and treatment of cancer life quality scale (quality of life questionnaire-core 30, QLQ-C30) and the living quality of breast cancer (quality of life questionnaire-breast table cancer module 23, QLQ-BR23) were used for assessing the quality oflife of the patients.Results After treatment, the scores of QLQ-C30 scale the body function (76.4 ± 16.6vs. 70.4 ± 16.4,t=-2.087), role functions (59.2 ± 12.8vs. 54.6 ± 12.8,t=-2.085), emotional function(77.2 ± 17.0 vs. 54.7 ± 12.8,t=-2.075), cognitive function (38.5 ± 14.7 vs. 34.3 ± 11.6t=2.104), social function(59.3 ± 12.4 vs. 54.6 ± 12.8,t=-2.105) and the overall health status (76.7 ± 19.7 vs. 65.5 ± 18.6,t=-2.152) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The weary (40.9 ± 8.4 vs. 45.3 ± 9.6, t=2.149), nausea and vomiting (42.9 ± 8.8 vs. 44.9 ± 10.1,t=2.145), pain (36.9 ± 7.6 vs. 40.9 ± 8.7,t=2.143), dyspnea (44.8 ± 9.2 vs. 49.6 ± 10.6,t=2.148), insomnia (41.8 ± 8.6 vs. 46.3 ± 9.9,t=2.152), loss of appetite (35.0 ± 7.2 vs. 38.7 ± 8.2,t=2.113), constipation (15.9 ± 3.3 vs. 17.6 ± 3.8,t=2.057), diarrhea (15.2 ± 3.1 vs. 16.9 ± 3.6, t=2.092) scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of QLQ-BR23 scale body type (74.7 ± 18.5 vs. 64.8 ± 15.4,t=-2.153), the function of sex (36.3 ± 9.0 vs. 42.8 ± 10.2,t=2.045), sexual fun (41.4 ± 10.2 vs. 48.9 ± 11.6,t=2.046), view of the future (67.6 ± 16.7 vs. 58.6 ± 14.0,t=-2.132), side effects (48.2 ± 10.4 vs. 55.2 ± 12.2,t=2.149), breast symptoms (39.6 ± 8.6 vs. 45.5 ± 10.2, t=2.127), arm symptoms (30.3 ± 6.6 vs. 34.8 ± 7.7,t=2.129), trouble from alopecia (36.1 ± 7.8 vs. 41.4 ± 9.1, t=2.113) in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions The Ruai-Kangfu decoction can adjust the mental status and improve the quality of life of patients with breast cancer after operation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the differentially expressed genes and related signaling pathways in MC3T3-E1 osteo- blasts in response to suitable fluid shear stress values and action time with cDNA microarrays.

METHODSMC3T3-E1 cells cultured on a cover slip were subjected to fluid shear stress using a parallel plate flow chamber. The harvested RNA was used for microarray hybridization comprising approximately 44 170 genes, as well as for the subsequent real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction validation of expression levels for selected genes. Microarray results were analyzed by using both GO and Pathway analysis.

RESULTSMicroarray analysis indicated that 884 differentially expressed genes were found. Among these genes, 444 were upregulated, whereas 440 were downregulated. The Notch signal and RIG- I -like receptor signaling pathways were involved in the Pathway analysis. GO analysis mainly involved different functional classifications, such as prostaglandin biosynthesis, nitric oxide-mediated signal transduction, calcium mediated signal, and cellular immune response, among others.

CONCLUSIONThe mechanism underlying the protective effect of fluid shear stress on MC3T3-E1 cells might be related to promoting cell survival- and inhibiting cell apoptosis-related signaling pathways and biological processes.

Objective The risk of ovarian/pelvic serous cancer can be reduced by prophylactic bilateral salpingectomy ( PBS) at the time of hysterectomy .This study was to evaluate the short-term influence of PBS plus hysterectomy on ovarian reserve in premenopausal women . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 60 premenopausal women treated by total lapa-roscopic hysterectomy ( TLH) for benign indications , 30 undergoing PBS at the same time ( the experimental group ) while the other 30 with the ovary preserved ( the control group ) .We compared the levels of FSH, LH, E2, and anti-Müllerian hormone ( AMH) and the inci-dence of peri-menopausal symptoms between the two groups of patients before and at 1 and 3 months after operation . Results Statistically significant differences were not observed between the two groups in the such baseline clinical characteristics as age , gravidity, parity, men-strual cycle, comorbidity, diagnosis, comorbidities, and history of abdominal surgery (P>0.05), nor in the AMH level at the baseline ([1.08±0.08] vs [1.04±0.10] ng/mL) or at 1 month ([0.86± 0.44] vs [0.81±0.48] ng/mL) or 3 months postoperatively ([0.84±0.94] vs [0.68±0.42] ng/mL) (F=0.247, P=0.746).Howev-er, the mean level of AMH was markedly reduced at 1 and 3 months after operation as compared with the baseline ( P<0.05) , though with no significant difference between 1 and 3 months ( P>0.05) .There were not any statistically significant differences in the levels FSH, LH, and E2 between the two groups before or at 1 and 3 months after surgery (P>0.05), nor in the incidence rates of peri-menopausal symptoms at 1 month (6.7%vs 3.3%, P>0.05) or 3 months postoperatively (10.0%vs 6.7%, P>0.05). Conclusion PBS at the time of total hysterectomy in premenopausal women does not affect ovarian reserve in the short term .The level of AMH has a higher sensitivity than those of FSH , LH and E2 in the assessment of postoperative ovarian function .
