Objective: To analyze the phytosterols content in cereals and legumes commonly consumed in China, and to estimate the intake of phytosterols in Chinese people. Methods: 25 cereals and 16 legumes were chosen as samples. The content of ?-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, ?-sitostanol, campestanol were analyzed by GC methods and the total phytosterols were calculated; The intake of phytosterols in Chinese people were estimated using the data of “Survey on the Status of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese People” in 2002. Results: The content of phytosterols in wheat flour was higher than that in rice. The refinements of cereals will decrease the phytosterols content. Phytosterols content in soybean was higher than other legumes. The intake of phytosterols in Chinese people was estimated to be 130.76mg/d from cereals and 7.86mg/d from legumes. Conclusion: The analysis of phytosterols in food and the estimation of daily intake is valuable for chronic disease prevention. The higher consumption of wheat flour and legumes in diet is recommended.

Objective The gene expression data of T lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines were obtained by " high-throughput sequencing",a new sequence was found,which called J441.The aim of this study was to establish a recombinant lentivirus harboring J441 gene and FLAG-tagged peptide.Methods We got gene expression data from Jurkat by "high-throughput sequencing".A new gene was found by bioinformatic analysis,we called it J441.For further study,a FLAG-J441 fusion gene was constructed by real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and packaged into pHAGE-CMV-MCS-Izs-Green lentivirus vector.The recombinant plasmid pHAGE-J441-FLAG was identified by PCR and sequencing.The recombinant plasmid,packaging vector psPAX2 and envelope vector pMD2.G were co-transfected into 293T cells and the resulting lentivirus was collected.After infection of the recombinant lentivirus,the expression of J441 in 293T was investigated by the expression of ZsGreen and sequencing.The expression of FLAG was investigated by immunofluorescence.Results A recombinant lentivirus plasmid pHAGE-J441-FLAG was successfully constructed.The viral titer was 5 × 1010 ifu/L.The expression of J441 in 293T could be detected by the expression of ZsGreen and sequencing.Immunofluorescence showed that FLAG was expressed in cytoplasm.Conclusions The lentivirus-based delivery system has been successfully constructed.Exogenous J441-FLAG can be stably expressed.The result of immunofluorescence suggest that the J441 gene might be expressed in cytoplasm.

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC).Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 80 patients with UTUC admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2013 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent UTUC radical surgery.All patients were treated with GC regimen:1,8,and 15 days,Gemcitabine 800 mg/m2,intravenous infusion over 30 min;day 2 Cisplatin 70 mg/m2,protected from light 2 h intravenous drip;28 d for 1 cycle.Adjuvant treatments such as acid suppression,hydration,and antiemetic were given before and after chemotherapy.Patients completed 1 to 5 cycles with an average of 2 cycles.The patient's age,gender,presence or absence of water,primary tumor site,tumor stage and grade,lymphatic vascular infiltration,tumor recurrence,lymph node metastasis,organ metastasis,chemotherapy cycle,total Survival,etc.are used as indicators ofobservation.Univariate analysis of the patient's overall survival,screening for clinical variables associated with prognosis,and then using the COX proportional hazards model for multivariate prognostic analysis to determine independent influencing factors.Results Eighty patients with UTUC were followed up for 2 to 72 months with a median follow-up of 27 months.Sixteen patients (20%) died of UTUC recurrence or metastasis,and 64 (80%) patients survived.The 1-year cumulative survival rate was 78.26% (18/23),and the 2-year cumulative survival rate was 54.18% (9/13 ×78.26%),the 3-year cumulative survival rate was 39.41% (8/1 1 × 54.18%),the 4-year cumulative survival rate was 31.53% (12/15 × 39.41%),and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 28.66% (10/11 × 31.53%).Univariate analysis showed combined hydronephrosis (P =0.023),lymphatic vessel infiltration (LVI) (P =0.001),tumor TNM stage (P =0.002),tumor recurrence (P =0.008),simple lymph node metastasis (P =0.005),organ metastasis (P < 0.001) was related to survival rate.COX model multivariate analysis showed that the independent risk factors associated with survival of patients with UTUC receiving chemotherapy with GC regimen were hydronephrosis (HR =4.355,95%CI:1.232-15.390,P=0.022),LVI (HR =0.133,95% CI:0.035-0.509,P=0.003),TNM stage (HR=0.099,95%CI:0.010-0.929,P=0.043).Conclusion The presence or absence of hydronephrosis,LVI,and tumor TNM staging are independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients with UTUC who have adjuvant chemotherapy.
