Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein in basal-like breast carcinoma (BLBC).Methods The expression of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein in 66 cases of BLBC,70 cases of non-BLBC and 66 cases of normal adjacent breast tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry.Their relationship with the clinical pathological factors was analyzed.Results The positive rate of FoxM1 protein in BLBC,non-BLBC and normal adjacent breast tissue was 77.3％ (51/66),60.0％(42/70) and 13.6％(9/66),Cep55 protein was 74.2％(49/66),57.1％(40/70) and 16.7％(11/66),respectively.BLBC and non-BLBC tissue were higher than normal adjacent breast tissue,and BLBC tissue was higher than non-BLBC,there was significant difference (P ＜0.05).In BLBC tissue,the positive expression of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein correlated with lymph nodes metastasis and TNM staging (P ＜0.05),while did not correlate with age,menopause,tumor size (P ＞ 0.05).There was direct correlation between the positive expression of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein (r =0.259,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion FoxM1 and Cep55 protein may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of BLBC,and both of them have the synergistic effect.

Objective To investigate the expressions and significances of Bcl-2 and Bax in basal-like breast carcinoma (BLBC).Methods The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected in 43 cases of BLBC, 57 cases of non-BLBC and 60 cases of normal breast tissues by immunohistochemistry,and their relationships with physiological and pathological characteristics of patients were analysized.Results The positive rate of Bcl-2 in BLBC was 69.77%,higher than 43.86% in non-BLBC (χ2 =6.647,P =0.01 0)and 21 .67% in normal breast tissues (χ2 =23.831 ,P =0.001 ).The positive rate of Bax in BLBC was 20.93%,lower than 45.61 % in non-BLBC (χ2 =6.564,P =0.01 0)and 76.67% in normal breast tissues (χ2 =31 .270,P =0.001 ).The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were correlated with lymphnode metastasis (χ2 =6.927,P =0.008;χ2 =6.203,P =0.01 3)and pTNMstaging of BLBC (χ2 =6.331 ,P =0.01 2;χ2 =5.972,P =0.01 5).There was negative correlation between the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in BLBC (r = -0.408,P <0.01 0). Conclusion High expression of Bcl-2 and low expression of Bax interact with each other leading to unbalance of cell deferation and apoptosis,resulting in promoting genesis and progress of BLBC.

Objective To study the expressions of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1 α) and carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9) in different molecular subtypes of breast carcinoma and their relationships with basallike subtype.Methods The expressions of HIF-1α and CA9 were detected by immunohistochemistry in five subtypes of breast carcinoma (n =803).The relationships of the expressions of HIF-1α and CA9 with the clinicopathologic parameters of basal-like subtype and with the prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results The positive expression rates of HIF-1α and CA9 protein in breast carcinoma were much higher than those in paratumor breast tissues (43.96％ vs.3.86％,x2 =354.858,P ＜ 0.001;19.80％ vs.4.61％,x2 =86.495,P ＜ 0.001).The positive expression rates of HIF-1α in Luminal A,Luminal B,epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) over-expression,basal-like and normal breast-like subtypes were 31.97％,25.00％,56.06％,77.89％ and 55.76％ respectively,and the positive expression rates of CA9 were 7.48％,5.56％,60.61％,40.00％ and 27.88％ respectively,with significant differences (x2 =88.628,P ＜ 0.001;x2 =147.128,P ＜0.001).The positive expression rates of HIF-1α and CA9 in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast carcinomas(HER-2 over-expression,basal-like and normal breast-like) were significantly higher than those in ER-positive subtypes (Luminal A and Luminal B,all P ＜ 0.005).There was a significant positive correlation between HIF-1 α and CA9 (C =0.315,P =0.001),and both were correlated with the lymph node metastasis (x2 =4.542,P =0.033;x2 =7.025,P =0.008),pTNM stage (x2 =5.390,P =0.020;x2 =10.179,P =0.001) and poor prognosis (x2 =4.353,P =0.037;x2 =6.056,P =0.014) of basal-like subtype.Conclusion Over-expressions of HIF-1α and CA9 may be related to the ER-negative breast cancer more closely,and both may play important roles in the occurrence and development of basal-like subtype.Overexpressions of HIF-1α and CA9 may suggest the poorer prognosis of patients with basal-like breast carcinoma.

Objective To study the expressions and clinical significances of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in breast carcinoma tissues.Methods The expressions of ATF3 and Runx2 were detected in 105 cases of primary breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and their matched para-tumor breast tissues by immunohistochemistry.The relationships between the two transcription factors and the clinical pathological features of IDC patients were analyzed.Results The positive expression rates of ATF3 and Runx2 in IDC group were 80.95％ (85/105) and 69.52％ (73/105) respectively,much higher than those in para-tumor breast tissues 11.43 ％ (12/105) and 8.57％ (9/105),with statistically significant differences (x2 =102.097,P =0.000;x2 =11.595,P =0.001).ATF3 and Runx2 expressions showed significant relationships with histological grade (x2 =14.623,P =0.001;x2 =24.891,P =0.000),lymph node metastasis (x2 =7.059,P =0.008;x2 =6.358,P =0.012) and pTNM stage of IDC (x2 =5.807,P =0.016;x2 =4.902,P =0.027),while both were not correlated with patients' age (x2 =0.274,P =0.601;x2 =1.554,P =0.213) and tumor size (x2 =2.476,P =0.290;x2 =5.261,P =0.072).There was a significant positive relationship between ATF3 and Runx2 in breast carcinoma (C =0.498,P =0.000).Conclusion The over-expressions of ATF3 and Runx2 may participate in the tumorigenesis,invasion,metastasis and clinical stage of breast carcinoma,which suggests that they may be key factors to evaluate malignant degree and prognosis of breast carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the expressions and significance of cyclin D2 and bcl-2 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their clinical significances.Methods:The tissues of 87 DLBCL patients undergoing resection and 23 patients with lymphoid tissue reactive hyperplasia (RLH) in the First Central Hospital of Baoding from January 2015 to March 2020 were collected. Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expressions of cyclin D2 and bcl-2 in tissues of DLBCL and RLH, and the relationship between the expressions of cyclin D2 and bcl-2 as well as the association with the clinicopathological features of DLBCL patients.Results:The positive rates of cyclin D2 protein in DLBCL and RLH were 33.3% (29/87) and 2.0% (1/23), the positive rates of bcl-2 protein in DLBCL and RLH were 60.9% (54/87) and 7.0% (3/23); the positive rates of cyclin D2 and bcl-2 in DLBCL were higher than those in RLH, and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=7.566, P=0.006; χ2=17.512, P < 0.01). The expressions of cyclin D2 and bcl-2 proteins were related to the Ann Arbor staging and immunophenotype of DLBCL patients (all P < 0.05), while not related to age, gender, cancer location, tissue type (all P > 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the expressions of cyclin D2 and bcl-2 protein in DLBCL ( r=1.000, P < 0.01). Conclusions:cyclin D2 and bcl-2 may be related to the development and progression of DLBCL, and both may have some synergies.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder(MDD) by comparing the serum glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, levels of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) in plasma and feces, and the content of specific intestinal flora ( Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) between patients with MDD who were diagnosed for the first time and healthy controls. Methods:Totally 80 MDD patients hospitalized from January 1, 2020 to March 30, 2021 and 80 healthy volunteers with normal physical examination in the same period were selected. Blood and fecal samples of patients with MDD and healthy controls were collected respectively. The indicators of serum glucose and lipid metabolism were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer, the concentrations of GLP-1 in plasma and feces were detected by ELISA, and the relative contents of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in feces were detected by real-time PCR. The differences between two groups of glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, GLP-1 levels and the relative contents of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in feces were analyzed. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Independent sample t-test and analysis of variance were used for inter group comparison, and Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of serum TC, HDL, and LDL in the MDD group decreased ((3.99±0.85)mmol/L , (4.78±0.86)mmol/L; (1.18±0.29)mmol/L, (1.30±0.28)mmol/L; (2.64±0.70)mmol/L, (3.19±0.69)mmol/L; t=5.559, 2.371, 4.695, all P<0.05). The plasma and fecal GLP-1 levels of the MDD group were lower than those of the control group (plasma: (0.81±0.22)pmol/mL, (1.05±0.26)pmol/mL , t=4.509, P<0.01; feces: (2.23±0.46)pmol/mL , (2.47±0.37)pmol/mL, t=2.533, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the relative contents of Lactobacillus(2.56±1.59, 3.51±2.21) and Bifidobacterium(2.24±1.89 , 3.17±2.08) in the MDD group decreased ( t=2.218, 2.082, both P<0.05). The level of plasma GLP-1 in the MDD group was negatively correlated with FPG, TG, and disease severity ( r=-0.281, -0.221, -0.437, P<0.05). The level of plasma GLP-1 in the control group was negatively correlated with FPG ( r=-0.580, P<0.01). The fecal GLP-1 level of the MDD group was negatively correlated with the severity of the disease ( r=-0.298, P<0.01), and the fecal GLP-1 level of the control group was positively correlated with fecal Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium ( r=0.685, 0.428, P<0.01). Conclusion:MDD patients have abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, decreased GLP-1 level and decreased relative content of intestinal Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Changes in intestinal flora affect GLP-1 levels. GLP-1 can affect glucose and lipid metabolism and depressive symptoms in patients with MDD by binding to specific receptors in intestinal tract and central nervous system.
