Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in the development and progression of tumors, such as pro?moting local drug resistance, immune escape, and distal metastasis. According to the TME of different individuals, accurate evaluation and selection of clinical medication can effectively control the malignant transformation of carcinoma in situ and metastatic cancer. At present, the main method to treat cancer is chemotherapy, TME can regulate the reaction of the tumor cells to the standard chemotherapy and target drug therapy, so the combination of the targeted TME therapy and chemothera?py will achieve better clinical efficacy. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms of TME in breast cancer, including ex?tracellular matrix, carcinoma-associated fibroblasts, carcinoma-associated macrophages, regulatory T cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which providing a theoretical basis for the development of TME targeted therapy.

Objective To evaluate the role of mitochondrial ATP sensitive potassium ( mito-KATP ) channel in dexmedetomidine-induced inhibition of subarachnoid hemorrhage ( SAH )-caused programmed cell death ( PCD) in cardiomyocytes of rats. Methods On hundred and twenty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 9-10 weeks, weighing 350-400 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group ( group Sham ) , SAH group, SAH plus dexmedetomidine group ( group SD) , 5-HD plus SAH and dexmedetomidine group ( group HSD) and 5-HD plus SAH group ( group HS) . The rats were subjected to SAH by intracranial vascular puncture after being anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. Dexmedetomidine 5 μg∕kg was infused for 10 min via the jugular vein starting from the time point after intracranial vascular puncture, followed by a continuous infusion of 5μg·kg-1 ·h-1 for 1 h in SD and HSD groups. 5-HD 30 mg∕kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before intracranial vascular puncture in HSD and HS groups. Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aor-ta at 24 h after intracranial vascular puncture for determination of serum cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) concen-trations. The animals were then sacrificed, and myocardial specimens were collected for determination of PCD rate ( by TUNEL) , reactive oxygen species ( ROS) activity ( by DCFH-DA assay) , and expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-1 and interleukin-1beta ( IL-1β) ( by Western blot) . Results Com-pared with group Sham, the serum concentrations of cTnI, PCD rate and ROS activity were significantly in-creased, and the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-1 and IL-1βwas up-regulated in SAH, SD, HSD and HS groups ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group SAH, the serum concentrations of cTnI, PCD rate and ROS activity were significantly decreased, and the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-1 and IL-1βwas down-regulated in group SD, and the serum concentrations of cTnI, PCD rate and ROS activity were significantly increased, and the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-1 and IL-1βwas up-regulated in group HS ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group SD, the serum concentrations of cT-nI, PCD rate and ROS activity were significantly increased, and the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-1 and IL-1β was up-regulated in group HSD ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group HSD, the serum concentrations of cTnI, PCD rate and ROS activity were significantly increased, and the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-1 and IL-1βwas up-regulated in group HS ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion mito-KATP channel is involved in dexmedetomidine-induced inhibition of PCD in cardiomyocytes of rats with SAH.

Objective:To investigate the late effects induced by external ionizing radiation through long-term follow-up of the victims exposed to 60Co radiation source at " 4.26" accident in Henan in 1999, and to provide valuable experience in the radiological medicine. Methods:Medical observations of the clinical symptoms, signs, eye lens examination and previous medical history of the five exposed victims were performed and recorded. The changes of the laboratory routine examinations, immune function, thyroid function, reproductive hormone levels, tumor markers, radiation genetic indicators as well as ultrasound examination of thyroid, cardiac, reproductive system, electrocardiogram, chest CT were systematically reviewed.Results:The typical radiation-induced cataract was found in " Mei" 2-3 years after 60Co accidental irradiation. 13 years after irradiation, the cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation in left eye were performed followed by the same operation in right eye in November 2019. Different degrees phacoscotasmus under the posterior capsule or equatorial part of the eyes were also found in the rest of victims. ECG result of " Mei" indicated myocardial ischemia 7 years after accident. " Tian" confirmed diagnosis coronary heart disease 12 years after irradiation, and the surgery about coronary angiography heart stent implantation was taken at 20 years after irradiation. Five victims showed increased serum total cholesterol and/or triglycerides, and 4 victims showed bilateral or unilateral common carotid atherosclerotic plaque formation. Higher levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were observed in " Mei" at 11 years after the irradiation. The thyroglobulin antibody (TGA)and thyroid microsomal antibody (TMA) were obviously increased in " Yi" , accompanied by thyroid uneven found by ultrasound. The thyroid nodules in " Mei" and " Min" were observed at 15 years after irradiation. The diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBL) in " Tian" was confirmed at 13 years after irradiation. Slightly higher of Neuron-specific enolase(NSE) were found in " Tian" , " Min" and " Yi" . A small nodule was detected from chest CT of " Tian" . Most of the chromosome aberrations observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes from the victims were stable chromosomal aberration such as translocation (t) with a few dicentric chromosome (dic) and acentric fragment (ace) in " Wang" and " Tian" . Conclusions:Ionizing radiation can cause variable degrees of deterministic effects in lens, thyroid gland and cardiovascular circulatory system and stochastic effects such as neoplasm. The genetic damages will last long in the patients.
