Objective To observe the value of radiomics models and nomogram model based on two-dimensional ultrasound and automated breast volume scanning(ABVS)for predicting molecular types of breast cancer.Methods Data of 326 female patients of single breast cancer confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were randomly divided into training set(n=260)or validation set(n=66)at the ratio of 8∶2,and further divided into Luminal subgroup and non-Luminal subgroup.Radiomics features were extracted based on two-dimensional ultrasound of breast and ABVS imaging,then model2DUS,modelABVS and modelcombined radiomics were constructed,respectively.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to screen independent factors for predicting molecular types of breast cancer,and nomogram model(modelnomogram)was constructed combined with independent factors and radiomics Radscores.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of each model for molecular type of breast cancer.Results The maximum diameter of tumor(OR=1.029)and the retraction phenomenon(OR=0.408)were both independent predictive factors for molecular type of breast cancer(both P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of model2DUS,modelABVS.modelcombined radiomics and modelnomogram for predicting molecular type of breast cancer in validation set was 0.67,0.75,0.84 and 0.83,respectively.No significant difference of AUC of modelcombined radiomics and modelnomogram was found(P>0.05),which were both higher than AUC of model2DUs and modelABVS(all P<0.05).Conclusion Combined radiomics model and nomogram model based on two-dimensional ultrasound and ABVS could effectively predict molecular type of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the K562 cells biological function and related molecular changes in PTEN-PI3K/AKT signaling pathway of leukemia K562 cells by inhibiting the miRNA-21 expression to explore its pathogenesis of leukemia.Methods The chemical synthetic miRNA-21 inhibitor was transfered into K562 cells by electrotransfection.RT-PCR was used to detect the miRNA-21 expression changes.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by using MTT and flow cytometry.Western-blot were used to detect the protein expression changes of PTEN,PI3K and p-AKT respectively.Results The relative expression of miRNA-21 in experimental group was (8.070±5.138)% at 24 hours,which was lower than control groups (P<0.05).The apoptotic rate of (13.370±0.250)% at 24 hours in experimental group was obviously higher than control groups.The cellular proliferation were significantly different at 24 hours.The proliferation inhibition rate was (8.1±0.9)% at 24 hours,which was up to (43.1±2.1)% at 60 hours,but the control groups showed no difference.K562 cell proliferation significantly decreased,while cell apoptosis markedly increased by inhibiting miRNA-21 expression (P<0.01).Western-blot analysis revealed up-regulation of PTEN and down-regulation of PI3K and p-AKT protein expressions after successfully suppressed miRNA-21 expression (P<0.01).Conclusion Inhibiting miRNA-21 expression in K562 cell could suppress the PI3K/AKT pathway by up-regulation of PTEN expression and promote cell antiproliferative and pro-apoptosis effects.

Objective:
To establish a method for the determination of 1-methoxy-2-propanol in urine using headspace solid phase micro-extraction coupled with gas chromatography.
Methods:
The 1-methoxy-2-propanol was enriched by headspace solid phase micro-extraction fiber coated with carbene/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) . Single factor rotation method was used to optimize the conditions of extraction temperature, salt amount, and extraction time. The separation was performed on DB-5 (30 m×0.32 mm×0.25 μm) capillary column and detected with flame ionization detector. The quantification was based on the standard curve.
Results:
The concentration of 1-methoxy-2-propanol in urine was linear in the range of 0.50-10.0 mg/L, and the linear correlation coefficient was 0.9993. The detection limit of the method was 0.14 mg/L, and the limit of quantification was 0.45 mg/L. The recovery was 85.8% to 104.7%, and the

Objective:
To establish a method for determining cyclohexanol in urine by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS/SPME) coupled with gas chromatography (GC) .
Methods:
After the urine sample was hydrolyzed by β-glucuronidase, 2.0 g of NaCl was added, then the analyte in urine was adsorbed by a CAR/PDMS solid phase micro-extraction head in a water bath at 50 ℃ for 20 min. And the extraction head was inserted into the gas chromatograph gasification chamber to desorb, the analyte was detected after separated by the capillary through the flame ionization detector.
