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 To study the influence of laparoscopic gastric surgery on the gut barrier function (GBF).Methods There were 64 gastric cancer patients undergoing respectively laparoscopic radical procedures (32 cases) and open gastric surgery (32 cases).Blood was drawn on day one before surgery,day 1,day 3 and day 7 after the surgery for the measurement of plasma D-lacate and plasma diamine oxidase activity by using ultraviolet spectrophotometry.Results There was no statistical difference among demographic,clinicopathological characterastics between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The difference on the operative time,blood loss and the time starting to take food after the surgery was significant between the two groups,P ＜ 0.05.The differences of plasma D-lacate level and the diamine oxidase (DAO) on perioperatively respective all time points were not significant between the two groups,P ＞ 0.05.Conclusion Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is comparable to open procedures in causing damage to patient's gut barrier functions.

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.

Objective To design and develop a quadrature demodulation circuit for detection of ampli-tude and phase information in EIT measurement. Methods A model structure file was built in matlab/simulink using the elements in Ahera DSP Builder and verified by simulated stimulation. Then the model file was convert-ed to VHDL file via Signal Compiler, and the synthesis, adaptation, simulation and hardware implementation were accomplished. Results The simulation and testing results show that the circuit can extract the real and imagi-nary information of the measured signal and it also meets the EIT measuring requirement, with acceptable mea-sure error. Conclusion The demodulation circuit based on DSP Builder can precisely give real and imaginary information of EIT and provides technological support for full-information complex impedance measurement.

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.
