Objective To identify the relationship between the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in sequentially occurring primary cancers of the breast and ovarian.Methods Clinical and pathological data of 44 cases of successive primary cancers of the breast and ovarian in each single patient diagnosed in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from 2000 to 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The median overall survival of all patients with double primary cancers of breast and ovarian was 264 months.3-year overall survival rate was 95.3％ and 5-year overall survival rate was 83.0％ respectively.32 patients were first diagnosed with breast cancer and 12 patients firstly suffered from ovarian cancer.The interval between breast cancer and ovarian cancer was 1-240 months (median 60 months).The staging of ovarian cancer (P =0.005) is the main prognostic factor.In patients firstly diagnosed breast cancer,age (P =0.025) and chemotherapy(P =0.010) were mainly associated with the interval between breast cancer and ovarian cancer.Age when first cancer diagnosed,tumor size of the breast and staging of ovarian cancer were mainly prognostic factors.Age when breast cancer diagnosed and chemotherapy were factors impacting the interval of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.Conclusions For patients with sequentially diagnosed primary cancers of the breast and ovarian cancer,late stage ovarian cancer predicts a poor prognosis.The interval in patients aged 50 and below suffering from secondary cancer is long.Proper chemotherapy for breast cancer seems to delay the occuring of ovarian cancer.

Objective To analyze the STK11 gene mutation in a sporadic Chinese Datient with Peutz Jeghers syndrome(PJS)so as to provide a basis for the genetic diagnosis and counseling of PJS.Methods Whole blood samples were obtained from a female patient with PJS,her parents and sister.as well as from 100 unrelated,normal individuals as control.Genomic DNA was extracted,and the whole coding region of STK11 gene was amplified by PCR followed by direct sequencing.Results Molecular analysis revealed a novel het-erozygous mutation C73S in the patient,which resulted from the substitution of thymine(T)for adenine(A) at codon 217 in exon 1 of STK11 gene.However, the novel mutation was not found in unaffected family mem-bers or unrelated controls.Conclusion A novel missense mutation C73S,which may contribute to the devel-opment of PJS,is found in the patient.

Objective To investigate the relationship between wheezing and serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.Methods 130 children with lower respiratory tract infection were selected as the subjects, the children with wheezing in group A([Abstract] Objective To investigate the relationship between wheezing and serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.Methods 130 children with lower respiratory tract infection were selected as the subjects, the children with wheezing in group A(n=70),normal pneumonia (no wheezing) were group B(n=60); The healthy children who were examined in the hospital at the same period were selected as the control group (n=60). The serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were measured by ELISA in the control and hospitalized children. The pathogens and allergens of the two groups were also detected. Results The levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in group A and group B were (56.92±16.88) nmol/L, (70.68±21.96) nmol/L, respectively, which was significantly lower than that in control group (82.69±17.63) nmol/L, ( t=8.50, 3.30,P=0.00,0.00); compared with group A( t=3.85, P=0.00). The positive rate of group A was 65.71%, which was significantly higher than that of group B (35.00%, χ2=12.20,P=0.00). The positive rate of group A was 30.00% compared with the control group (35.00%, χ2=0.36,P=0.54). The serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was 75.57% in group A, which was significantly higher than that in group B (60.00%,χ2=14.21, P=0.00). The positive rate of virus detection was 57.14% in 98 children with serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level<75 nmol/L, which was significantly higher than that in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level≥75 nmol/L(18.75%, χ2=14.25, P=0.00). The positive rate of allergens in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level <75 nmol/L was 35.71%, which was significantly higher than that in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level≥75 nmol/L(21.88%, χ2=2.11, P=0.14). Conclusion The main risk factor for children with wheezing is viral infection, while the low level of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 in children increases the risk of viral infection, resulting in increased risk of wheezing in patients,so the clinical can occur through the detection of serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D3 levels to predict and intervention for children with wheezing.

Background:In the treatment of many gastric diseases,eradication of Helicobacter pylori( Hp)is important. With the increasing in antibiotic resistance of Hp,the eradication efficacy of conventional triple and quadruple therapy for Hp is decreasing in recent years. Aims:To assess the efficacy and safety of quadruple therapy combined with astragalus membranaceus for Hp eradication. Methods:A total of 395 Hp-infected patients with chronic gastritis/dyspepsia and peptic ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy were enrolled,of them 185 patients were of chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group and 210 patients were of peptic ulcer group. Patients in the two groups were subdivided into trial group and control group. Patients in trial group were given quadruple therapy combined with astragalus membranaceus for 14 days,and patients in control group were given quadruple therapy only for 14 days. Hp eradication was assessed by 13 C-urea breath test 4 weeks after treatment. Results:A total of 358 patients(90. 6%)completed the study. In chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group,the eradication rate was significantly higher in trial group than in control group by PP analysis(P<0. 05),but no significant difference was found by ITT analysis(P>0. 05). In peptic ulcer group,the eradication rates by PP and ITT analysis showed no significant differences between trial group and control group(P>0. 05). In control group,the eradication rates by PP and ITT analysis were significantly higher in peptic ulcer group than in chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group( P <0. 01). In trial group,the eradication rates by PP and ITT analysis were not significantly different between chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group and peptic ulcer group( P >0. 05 ). The incidence of adverse effects was not significantly different between chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group and peptic ulcer group as well as trial group and control group( P>0. 05). Conclusions:Quadruple therapy combined with astragalus membranaceus could increase the eradication rate of Hp in chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group safely.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in 5/6 renal ablation model. MethodsAtRA was administered to 5/6 renal ablation rats by three dosages: 5 mg·kg-1·d-1 (n=8), 10 mg·kg-1d-1 (n=8) and 20 mg·kg-1 d-1 (n=8) and vehicle (vehicle group, n=8) for 10 weeks. Healthy rats consisted of shamoperation group (n =8). The level of renin and angiotensin Ⅱ in renal tissues were measured by radioimmunoassary. The level of angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) in remnant renal cortex was measured by Western blot. The mRNA expression levels of two subunits of activative protein 1(AP-1),c-jun and c-fos was quantitated by real-time PCR. ResultsAfter 10 weeks of atRA treatment by gavarge, artery blood pressure decreased (P＜0.05). AtRA reduced the levels of renin (P＜0.05) and angiotensin Ⅱ (P＜0.05) in kidney and down-regulated the expression of AT1R protein in renal cortex. Larger dose of atRA (20 mg·kg-1·d-1) performed higher activity in inhibiting renin and AT1R. Compared with vehicle group, atRA could significantly inhibit the expression of renal c-jun and c-fos mRNA (P＜0.05). Conclusion atRA can decrease the over-expression of main components of RAS.

Objective To investigate the expression of angiotensinⅡ (Ang Ⅱ ) and its type 1 receptor (AT1) in circulation, placenta and kidney of the rots preeclampsia. Methods Preedampsia rat model was developed by inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME). The systolic blood pressure (SBP), 24 h urine protein, hepatic and renal function were compared among the precelampsia group, the normal pregnant group and nonpregnant control group. The kidney tissue was observed by light microscopy. ELISA and radioimmunoassay were used to detect Ang Ⅱ in rat plasma and kidney homogenate respectively. Placental AT1 was measured by Westem blot. The level of kidney AT1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results In preeclampsia rats, SBP and 24 h urine protein were significantly higher compared with control groups. Compared to normal pregnant group, plasma Ang Ⅱ of preeclampsia rats was much higher [(0.706±0.086) ng/L vs (0.540±0.085) ng/L, P＜0.05]; placental AT1 was increased by 46%(P＜ 0.05); kidney Ang Ⅱ was decreased signigicantly [(65.543±40.634) ng/g vs (165.543±33.078) ng/g, P＜0.05]. The expression of ATI in kidney of preeclampsia rats was reduced evidently,which was only 33% of normal pregnancy group and 59% of nonpregnant control greup,respeetively (P＜0.05). Conclusions In preeclampsia rat model, the circulating Ang Ⅱ is increased, the placental RAS isactivated, while the kidney BAS is suppressed. The underlying mechanism of proteinuria and kidney damage associated with this phenomenon in preeclampsia needs further research.
