Objective To explore the molecular targets and mechanisms that could influence the sensitivity of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to chemotherapy,to provide important references for the chemotherapy based on gene detection.Methods The gene expression dataset GSE43502 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).Gene expression data preprocessing was conducted by R Programming.The differentially expressed genes in the TNBC patients that relapsed after chemotherapy compared with the non-relapsed ones were obtained.Besides,the Database for Annotation Visualization and Integrated analysis (DAVID) was used for functional analysis of those genes.The microRNA (miRNA) that might regulate the differentially expressed genes was obtained from the starBase database.Furthermore,Cytoscape was used for the construction of miRNA-gene regulation network.Results Three hundred and twelve differentially expressed genes were obtained.Some biological process related to cell membrane,metal ion homeostasis and pathways involved in immune and inflammatory were found to be enriched in those genes.Furthermore,171 miRNA that might regulate the differentially expressed genes were obtained and 553 miRNA-gene regulation pairs were formed.Conclusions hsa-miR-30d-5p,SIX4,etc.might influence the sensitivity of TNBC to chemotherapy through cell structure or immune system.

The structure and characteristics of the soluble exopolysaccharide(PS-238) produced by Alcaligenes sp.NX-3 were studied.The analytic sample was prepared by ethanol precipitation then proteins were removed by the Sevag method.The components of polysaccharide were identified by TLC、 GC and chemical method after acid hydrolysis as: glucose,mannose,rhamnose and glucuronic acid.By means of IR and periodate oxidation,it showed that the polysaccharide was mainly consisting of(1→3)and(1→4) glucosidic linkages.The relation between viscosity and shear rate、concentration、temperature、pH and salts was investigated.The results showed that the solution of PS-238 is a typical pseudoplastic liquid,having high viscosity at low concentrations.The viscosity of 1%PS-238 water solution could reach 3300cp at 25℃.It has the excellent stability towards pH2~13,also has outstanding property of viscosity retention even at temperatures up to 150℃.Some kinds of salts were cooperated with PS-238 as a thickening agent.

Objective The Hilbert- Huang transformation (HHT) method was introduced to process the bio-impedance gastric motility signals from subjects.Methods Nonlinear and non-stationary original gastric motility series were decomposed into a number of intrinsic mode function (1MF) components by the empirical mode decomposition method (EMD).Hilbert transformation was carried out then and instantaneous frequency was extracted effectively.Gastric motility signal among 0.03-0.06 Hz was reconstructed from the IMF.Results The results suggested that HHT was a new and applicable time series analysis method based on mode decomposition and could extract impedance signal and remove the disturbances such as blood flow and breathing.Conclusion The new adaptive mode decomposition-based signal processing method provides a new method to investigate clinical gastric motility information.

Objective To acquire high spatial resolution two-dimension pulse pressure distribution for objectifying research of pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods A sensor array with flexible packing was designed and implemented.The array was formed on a circle substrate with 37 silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors,which were distributed as equilateral triangles with 1.95 mm pitch.The diameter of the substrate was 15 mm.By using flexible packing,the array had the hardness similar to that of human finger,which made this method closer to the traditional Chinese diagnosis.After differential amplifying,37-way pulse pressure signals were digitalized and reconstructed to obtain the pulse pressure distribution.Results With the application of the sensor array,the pulse pressure signals were measured and transformed into pulse pressure distribution.Conclusions The experimental result contains the relevant characteristics of traditional Chinese pulse diagnosis' description,providing a new way for objective study of traditional Chinese pulse diagnosis and further study.

The malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue is conventional rays(X,γrays)resistant. The heavy ion rays 12C+ have following characteristics: high linear energy transfer, Bragg peak, small scattering, high biological effect, lethal damage to tumor cell, and double-strand break to the DNA. Therefore, heavy ion rays Call allow tumor target area obtain high radiation doses while surrounding normal tissues get best protection Recent progress of basic and clinical research on heavy ion treating malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue is discussed.

Objective To observe therapeutic effects of treating stroke hemiplegia with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training. Methods 72 patients with stroke hemiplegia were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group, with 36 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training and the control group was treated with acupuncture exclusively. Both scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture were used in the process of treatment. Results There was statistical significance (P<0.01) between the two groups in functional rehabilitation of limbs and ADL score (P<0.01) . Conclusion The treatment of stroke hemiplegia with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training is more effective than that of treating with acupuncture exclusively.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility,safety and therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection for gastric carcinoma. Method In this study,15 patients with gastric carcinoma underwent laparoscopic radical resection from May 2005 to Aug 2006,clinical parameters including surgical procedures,operation time,blood loss,time for passage of flatus,complications and pathological findings were recorded. Result All operations were successful.Five cases received laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy,5 cases received hand-assisted laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy,laparoscopic total gastrectomy was performed in 4 cases,laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy was performed in 1 case.The operation time ranged from 195 to 350 min,the blood loss was 100 to 600 ml.The average time of intestinal function recovery was(2.9 ± 0.8)days.The average number of lymph nodes dissected were(28±6).There was no major postoperative complications.Postoperative follow-up were 24 months in 15 cases,there were no metastasis and tumor recurrence.Conclusion Laparoscopie radical gastrectomy is a feasible and safe surgical procedure for patients of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility,safety and outcome of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision with sphincter preservation in the treatment of low rectal cancer.Methods From April 2004 to April 2007,laparoscopic total mesorectal excision with sphincter preservation for low rectal carcinoma was performed in 25 cases.The intraoperative risk.recovery,short-term and oncological outcomes of these patients were compared with 25 cases of conventional Dixon's operation.The controls,matched for age,sex,mass margin distance from the anus,Dukes stage,were selected from conventional Dixon's operations performed at the same period as laparoscopic group.T test and Chi-square test were used.Results Laparoscopic procedure was successful in 24 cases while one was converted to Bacon operation.The mean operation time(197±36)min in laparoscopic group was significantly longer than those(172±51)min in open group(t=2.12,P=0.04).The mean operative blood loss was(157±105)ml in laparoscopic group and(304±237)ml in open group(t=-2.95,P=0.01).No significant differences were detected between two groups in specimen length and number of lymph nodes excised.The bowel function was restored earlier in laparoseopic group than that in open group.The overall morbidity rates were 16%and 28%,and the local recurrence rates were 8%and 4%in the two groups respectively.Conclusion Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision is a feasible,safe,minimally invasive technique for rectal cancer.which provides better short-term outcomes and similar oncological outcomes compared with the traditional open procedure.
