Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(9):682-684
Scutellarin (SC),a botanical extract,possesses a variety of suppressing free radical generation,anti-inflammatory,cardioprotection and anti-virus activity.Recently,many studies show that SC has inhibitory effects on the growth of many tumors and is a kind of potential anti-tumor drug.Its anti-tumor mechanisms mainly include inducing apoptosis,arresting cell cycle,enhancing the adhesion between cells,inhibiting tumor invasion,reversing multidrug resistance,anti-angiogenesis and so on.

Objective To explore the influence of preoperative chemotherapy (POCT) on telomerase activity(TA) of breast cancer and its mechanism. Methods TA was detected in 40 primary breast cancer specimens. Forty patients were divided into two groups: (1)POCT group. 32 patients, who underwent POCT using CMF scheme; (2) control group . 8 patients, who did not receive any POCT or radiotherapy. Results TA in POCT group(TA=0.499) was significantly lower than that in control group (TA=1.018). TA in patients received one , two or three times of POCT was 0.812,0.492 and 0.280 respectively. The difference of TA in patients received 1 time POCT and receive ≥ 2 times POCT was significant (P

AIM:As a factor that can improve cell growth,there are few studies about the effect of insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ) on the apoptosis of endothelial cell.The study investigated the inhibition and mechanism of IGF-Ⅰ on the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).METHODS:The experiment was performed in the Institute of Cardiovascular Disease,Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from December 2006 to July 2007.①Fresh human umbilical cord was obtained(the informed consent) to isolate and culture HUVECs.The cells were divided into four groups.Except the control group,HUVEC cells were cultured with IGF-Ⅰ(1?10-9mmol/L),ox-LDL(200 mg/L)+IGF-Ⅰ(1?10-9mmol/L),and ox-LDL(200 mg/L),respectively after cultured for 24 hours.②Cell viability was determined by MTT assay,morphology and apoptosis by DAPI fluorescence staining,and expressions of caspase-3 were analyzed.RESULTS:①Ox-LDL could significantly inhibit HUVEC cell proliferation.After treated with both IGF-Ⅰand ox-LDL,the cell proliferation increased obviously compared with the cells treated with ox-LDL(P

Objective :
To evaluate the excess mortality risk related to heat wave in Ningbo, Zhejiang from 2013 to 2018, so as to provide a basis for formulating coping strategies for heat wave.
Methods :
The data of daily mortality, meteorological and air quality from May to October in Ningbo from 2013 to 2018 were obtained from Ningbo Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Ningbo Meteorological Bureau and Environmental Monitoring Center of Ningbo, respectively. The generalized linear model ( GLM ) and distributed lag non-linear model ( DLNM ) were used to estimate the associations between heat wave and cause-specific mortality.
Results :
Among 1 104 days of the study period, 18 heat waves occured and lasted for 132 days, accounting for 11.96%. A total of 102 954 deaths were reported in the same period. The risks of mortality in circulatory system diseases ( RR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.03-1.16 ), respiratory system diseases ( RR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.04-1.25 ), digestive system diseases ( RR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.15-1.65 ), nervous system diseases ( RR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.08-1.61 ), mental disorders ( RR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.12-2.03 ) and accidental injury ( RR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.06-1.32 ) and all causes ( RR=1.10, 95%CI: 1.06-1.14 ) increased at lag 0-1 day of heat wave. The total excess death related to heat wave was 1 218 ( 95%CI: 731-1 705 ) . The excess deaths of circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, accidental injury, digestive system diseases, nervous system diseases, mental disorders, urinary system diseases and endocrine system diseases were 313 ( 95%CI: 104-556 ), 206 ( 95%CI: 59-368 ), 164 ( 95%CI: 55-292 ), 122 ( 95%CI: 48-208 ), 69 ( 95%CI: 17-131 ), 56 ( 95%CI: 13-113 ), 18 ( 95%CI: -15-64 ) and 3 ( 95%CI: -51-72 ). The excess deaths of urinary system and endocrine system diseases was not statistically significant ( P>0.05 ).
Conclusion
Heat wave can increase the mortality risk on the day and after a day in Ningbo from 2013 to 2018. Circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases and accidental injury rank top three in excess deaths.

Objective:
To identify the most appropriate meteorological variable for forecasting the health risk of high temperatures.
Methods:
The surveillance on causes of death, meteorological data and surveillance on air quality among registered residents in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province during the period between May and October from 2013 to 2019 were collected. The association models of daily minimum temperature, average daily temperature, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum heat index, average daily heat index, daily maximum heat index, average daily apparent temperature and torridity index with deaths and years of life lost (YLL) were created using time series analysis and distributed lag non-linear models, and the model fitting effect was evaluated using the minimum Akaike information criterion (AIC) procedure. The most appropriate meteorological variable for forecasting gender-, age- and mortality-specific health risks of high temperatures was identified.
Results:
A total of 120 628 deaths were reported during the study period, with daily deaths of 94 cases, and daily YLL rate of 19.74 person-years/105. Except for daily minimum heat index and torridity index, the exposure-response relationships between other six meteorological variables and deaths and overall YLL rate all appeared a “J” shape. The lowest AIC values and the optimal model fitting effects were measured for the association models between average daily temperature and whole populations, females, subjects at ages of 65 years and older, and deaths and YLL rates due to circulatory diseases and respiratory diseases.
Conclusion
High model fitting effects are observed between average daily temperature and deaths and YLL rates, which are more suitable for forecasting the health risk of high temperature.

Objective:To compare the differences of children’ s health in different area, and to confirm if the prevalence of respiratory diseases and symptoms among children are closely associated with the air pollution. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban area A and a suburban area B with different levels of air pollution in Beijing. Using a cluster sampling method, we recruited 4 564 chil-dren from 3 primary schools in urban A and 4 primary schools in suburban B. Respiratory symptoms were investigated using an international standardized questionnaire including characteristics of children, living conditions, respiratory diseases and symptoms and situation of parents. The concentrations of air pollu-tants for recent five years were obtained from Reports on the Quality of the Beijing Environment. SPSS 16. 0 was used to analyze data. Results: The prevalence of cough, persistent cough, phlegm, persistent phlegm, wheeze and asthma in A area were higher than those in B area[(62. 2% vs. 59. 9%), (6. 3%vs. 3. 1%), (42. 4% vs. 37. 4%),(3. 6% vs. 2. 4%),(13. 3% vs. 9. 9%) and(9. 5% vs. 5. 4%)]. Except for cough, cough with cold, cough without cold, the prevalence of respiratory diseases and symp-toms in A area were significantly higher than those in B area ( P <0 . 05 ) . Logistic regression analysis showed the prevalence of persistent cough, phlegm without cold, asthma in A area were significantly higher than those in B area ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion:Respiratory diseases and symptoms among school-age children were closely associated with the level of air pollution.
