OBJECTIVETo study the BRCA1 mutations in patients with early-onset breast cancer and their affected relatives in Guangdong province and explore the relationship between BRCA1 mutation and the expressions of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor(PR), HER2 and ALN.
METHODSFrom 58 patients with early-onset breast cancer and their affected relatives, the genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the coding regions of the BRCA1 gene was amplified using polymerase chain reaction. BRCA1 gene mutations were screened by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and subsequent direct DNA sequencing. The expression of ER, PR, HER2 and ALN were detected with immunohistochemistry and their relations with the gene mutation were analyzed.
RESULTSDisease-related BRCA1 mutations were detected in 2 of the 58 patients, who were younger than 35 years old, including 1 with a novel splice-site mutation (IVS5-1 G-->A). No association was found between this novel mutation and the expressions of ER, PR, HER2 and ALN.
CONCLUSIONThe incidence of BRCA1 mutation is significantly lower in patients with early-onset breast cancer and their affected relatives in Guangdong province than in the Western populations. The novel mutation identified in BRCA1 gene may represent a mutation characteristic of the patients in Guangdong province. BRCA1 gene mutations may not have any relation with the expression of ER, PR, HER2 and ALN.

Based on the clinical characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine and literature analysis, this paper aims to formulate the diagnostic criteria of TCM and western medicine for MS. Moreover, the modeling methods of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), animals for the modeling, and characteristics of the models were analyzed and summarized, and the consistency between the EAE models and the diagnostic criteria of TCM and western medicine was evaluated. The results showed that animal models had low consistency with the clinical characteristics in TCM (highest consistency 68%) and western medicine (highest consistency 60%). Pathological models account for the majority of animal models for MS research, but there is a lack of intuitive performance indicators. Thus, it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate the models. The mental state, limb numbness, lack of strength, loss of muscle tone, tremor, and balance disorders of the mice are among the diagnostic criteria in western medicine. In TCM diagnostic criteria, the major symptoms which are reflected in animal behavior, such as physical fatigue, lack of strength, mental fatigue, distinclination to talk, and weak heavy numb limbs, are consistent with the western diagnostic criteria. The minor symptoms, including mental decline, bitter taste in mouth, frequent and urgent urination, fecal incontinence, and aggravated fever, are not well reflected in the models. According to TCM, MS is caused by deficiency of kidney essence and external contraction of pathogen, but no index is available for evaluating the external contraction of pathogen in existing animal models. The key to experimental research on MS is to establish an appropriate animal model based on the clinical pathogenesis and characteristics. However, there is a lack of MS animal model with TCM characteristics for syndrome classification. Therefore, renewed efforts should be made to prepare animal models with both TCM and western medicine characteristics that can be used in both basic experiments and clinical research.
