This study is to investigate the effects of concentration, intestinal section, pH, paracellular route, substrate/inhibitor of enzyme (CYP3A) and proteins (P-gp, MRP2, SGL1) on the absorption of forsythoside A. The absorption of three concentrations (2.6, 5.2, and 10.4 microg x mL(-1)) of forsythoside A in different intestinal segments was studied with phenol red as the marker by rat circulation in situ. The results showed that the residue of forsythoside A with different concentrations had little significant difference from that obtained after perfusing via duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon, which indicated that the absorption of forsythoside A was passive diffusion and had no difference in different segments of rat intestine. The residue of forsythoside A increased to 466.160 and 463.429 microg respectively when cyclosporine (4 microg x mL(-1)) or midazolam (50 micromol x L(-1)) was added to the circulation fluid, which showed significant difference compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the residue of forsythoside A showed a tendency of increase with the increase of cyclosporine or midazolam. When digoxin (50 micromol x L(-1)) or EDTA (10 microg x mL(-1)) was added to the circulation fluid, the residue of forsythoside A decreased to 325.110 and 369.888 microg respectively, which showed significant difference as compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Besides, the residue of forsythoside A showed a tendency of reduction with the increase of digoxin or EDTA. However, there is no significant change in the absorption of forsythoside A when the different concentrations of mannitol were added to the circulation fluid. The results above indicated that the absorption of forsythoside A was mainly passive diffusion and involved paracellular route at the same time. In addition, the substrates of P-gp or CYP3A had dose-dependent effect on the absorption of forsythoside A.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of the clinicopathological features of breast cancer for pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and to establish a predictive model based on the clinicopathological features.Methods:Clinicopathological data collected from 182 patients who underwent NAC and surgical treatment in Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from Jan. 2013 to Dec. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The univariate and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the relationship between clinicopathological features and pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The predictive value in predicting the efficacy of NAC was evaluated, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Nomogram prediction model were constructed.Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that progesterone receptor (PR) , human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) and platelet distribution width (PDW) were independent predictors of pCR after NAC for breast cancer. The area under the curve (AUC) of model for predicting efficacy of NAC was 0.810 (95% CI:0.745-0.864) and the sensitivity and specificity was 68.75% and 82.67% respectively when the Jordan Index is at its maximum. Conclusion:ER-, HER2+ and PDW≤13.4% show better efficacy of NAC. The Nomogram model based on them can accurately predict the efficacy of NAC and can provide a reference for the selection of treatment options in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the value of visfatin in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors and the feasibility of visfatin as a molecular marker of breast cancer.Methods:A total of 195 breast cancer patients hospitalized in the Cancer Hospital of The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences from December 2017 to July 2018 were selected as the breast cancer group, all of them were women. 80 patients with benign breast diseases in the same period were randomly selected as the breast benign disease group, all of them were women. 80 female employees with normal physical examination in the same year were selected as the normal control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum level of visfatin. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between visfatin and clinicopathological features of breast cancer. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to get area under curve (AUC) value, and the diagnostic efficacy was analyzed.Results:The serum visfatin level in breast cancer group was significantly higher than that in benign breast disease group and normal control group ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the serum visfatin level was related to lymph node metastasis, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage and body mass index (BMI) (all P<0.05). The serum visfatin level was positively correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of breast cancer patients ( r=0.336, P=0.043; r=0.632, P=0.027, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was a risk factor for serum visfatin [ OR=1.098, 95% CI(1.073, 1.226), P=0.02]. According to the ROC curve of serum visfatin level in benign breast disease group and normal group, the AUC of serum visfatin were 0.652 and 0.701, respectively. When the Youden index was the highest, the sensitivity was 52.30% and 55.90% respectively, and the specificity was 73.10% and 75.0% respectively. Conclusions:Serum visfatin level can be used to distinguish benign and malignant breast cancer patients. It has a certain clinical value in the auxiliary diagnosis of breast cancer, and may be used as a potential molecular marker of breast cancer.

A 9-year-old boy presented with pruritic erythema and erosions of the scalp for 1 month, which spread all over the body for 1 week. Histopathological examination of the skin lesions showed blisters forming under the granular layer of the epidermis, a large number of acantholytic cells in the blisters, and perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes and eosinophils in the superficial dermis. Direct immunofluorescence study showed reticular deposition of IgG and complement C3 between epidermal cells, and negative staining for IgM and IgA. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed the presence of serum anti-Dsg1 antibody (157.00 U/ml) . The patient was diagnosed with pemphigus foliaceus. After admission, the patient showed poor response to the treatment with prednisone at a dose of 40 mg/d. After the treatment with low-dose rituximab (100 mg per week, 4 weeks) combined with prednisone (20 mg/d) , her condition was well controlled. The dosage of prednisone gradually decreased to 7.5 mg/d for maintenance treatment, and no recurrence was observed during 24-month follow-up.
