Breast cancer has overtaken lung cancer as the most common malignancy in women. Although the early diagnostic rate has continuously improved, recurrence and metastasis remain a problem to be solved. Therefore, scientists should search for effective prognostic markers for breast cancer patients and adopt individualized programs for different patients. Studies have shown that cancer prognosis, to a certain extent, is related to the nutrition inflammation index. Preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlled nutritional status (CONUT) are indicators that comprehensively reflect the nutritional level and inflammatory state of patients, respectively. Different from other cancers, the incidence of breast cancer is related to nutritional status, and an extremely high or low score is not conducive to the prognosis of breast cancer patients. This paper reviews the research progress of PNI and CONUT in breast cancer.

Objectives To conduct a research on the possibility and effect factors of latent fingerprints development in clothing objects after vacuum coating, and extracting fingerprints DNA and to probe in the relation among DNA template quantity and genetic loci numbers tested, and the rfu value after coating. Methods To select two groups that are free sweat hands and sweat hands and have them press their fingerprints on the cloth, after coating, and to analyze the effect of time, to quantify and test the targeted fingerprints DNA, to compare the locus numbers tested between white and black cloth. Results As the time is prolonged, the locus numbers tested decrease. The locus numbers tested on the group of sweat hands using the same method after the same placed time are lager than the free sweat hands. When the value of rfu is 600 above, the ratio of the locus numbers tested is more than 90% and the threshold of templates is 0.013ng. The locus numbers tested of white cloth is larger, comparing with black cloth when using the same method. What is more, there exists an prohibitive influence of pigments of the dyed cloth over the PCR amplification, to put it further, the loci numbers tested will be trimmed. Conclusion The technology of vacuum coating can be well used in the area of detecting fingerprint DNA.

Objective:To investigate the application value of noninvasive prenatal DNA screening combined with nuchal translucency thickness measurement in the diagnosis of fetal chromosome aneuploidy.Methods:A total of 5 730 pregnant women who were screened for fetal chromosomal diseases in the Quzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2017 to March 2019 were included in this study. All of them underwent noninvasive prenatal DNA screening and nuchal translucency thickness measurement. The results of amniocentesis were used as the gold standard to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of noninvasive prenatal DNA screening, nuchal translucency thickness measurement and their combination.Results:Noninvasive prenatal DNA screening revealed that 64 (1.12%) women out of 5 730 pregnant women had high risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities. Ultrasound examination results showed that nuchal translucency was thickened in 140 (2.44%) women. The outcome of adverse pregnancy increased with the increase of nuchal translucency thickness. Among the 68 pregnant women who underwent amniocentesis, 51 women developed chromosomal abnormalities, with trisomy 21 syndrome being the majority (23/51,45.10%). The diagnostic efficacy of noninvasive prenatal DNA screening combined with nuchal translucency thickness measurement in the diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy reached the ideal level.Conclusion:Noninvasive prenatal DNA screening combined with nuchal translucency thickness measurement has a high clinical application value. The combined method can be used as the main prenatal DNA screening method for pregnant women and it can effectively avoid the birth of children with chromosomal abnormalities.
