Objective To explore the value of preoperative diagnosis for breast cancer patients in different locating ways. Methods The tissues were gotten by core needle biopsy from 146 breast cancer patients through different locating ways,and were taken for histopathological examinations and were compared with postoperative pathologic results. Results Seventy-four cases were biopsied with ultrasound-guide (ultrasound-guide group), and 72 cases with free-hand (free-hand group), without serious complications.Compared with postoperative pathologic results,the false negative rate in ultrasound-guide group was 5.41%(4/74);the false negative rate in free-hand group was 18.06% (13/72). The accuracy of the ultrasound-guided biopsy was higher than that in free-hand (U = 13.63,P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Preoperative ultrasoundguided biopsy and postoperative pathologic examination has no significant difference, with high consistency.The study provides a good basis for selection for clinical work,so as to the more effective guide for the comprehensive treatment of breast cancer patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects of endogenous NO on the chemosensitivity of human breast cancer cell. Methods MCF-7 cells were cultured as monolayer, incubated with cytokine IL-1β. The pro-duction of NO was detected by NO assay. The expression of iNOS protein was measured by Western blotting. Establishing control group and experimental group, the chemosensitivity of MCF-7 cells incubated by L-NMMA and L-Arg to ADM and 5-Fu was studied by MTT assay. Results There was a positive correlation of dose-dependence between NO production and IL-1β concentration. MCF-7 cells expressed plenty of iNOS by induetion of IL-1β. There was no significant difference on iNOS whether L-NMMA and L-Arg existed or not. Incubating MCF-7 cells with 0. 5 μmol/L or 1 μmol/L ADM, the survival rate of experiment group was remarkablely decreased(P < 0.05) ; L-NMMA significantly increased survival rate of experiment group(P < O. 05) ; L-Arg decreased survival rate of experiment group(P < 0.05). Conclusion The induction of IL-113 in MCF-7 cells can increase the production of endogenous NO, which increases MCF-7 cells' sensitivity to chemotherapy.

Objective:To provide policy recommendations for Beijing public health departments to grasp the dy-namic allocation of healthcare resources and the advantage of medical functional dispersal, and making appropriate health policies to rationally adjust the allocation of health resources. Methods:To study the dynamic function of Bei-jing medical, this study uses the method of accounting of cases summary of the annual report on health finance through the descriptive analysis of the gross fixed capital formation in various regional government-run health facili-ties. Results:The results of this study show that the quality of medical health administrative resources was higher, but effectively dispersed in 2015. By contrast, the basic public health resources allocation was unbalanced. Conclu-sion:This study puts forward the corresponding health policy suggestions. On one hand, it is important to make fur-ther policy to encourage high quality medical resources to be effectively relieved and the regional planning should be done according to market demand by avoiding the blind construction at the early stages. On the other hand, much at-tention should be paid on the balanced development of the basic public health service ability and the coordinated de-velopment of administrative capacity in health, and supporting policies should be formulated, which should rationally allocate the public health resources for a better overall medical functional dispersal.

Objective:To put forward some suggestions for the national health development in the filed of health expenditure indicators .Methods:Two health expenditure indicators and four health outcomes indicators were chosen from WB and WHO official websites , and researches on the relationship between health expenditure and outcomes were conducted .We put forward proposed value of the health cost indicator .Results: With different levels of GDP per capita , the scatter diagram of health expenditure and GDP per capita had different rules .When health outcomes were taken into consideration , the rules were the same .When GDP per capita was at different level , better health outcomes were not related to higher health expenditure .Input-output ratio should be taken into consideration fully . Suggestions:The study should be dynamic as GDP develops .More factors can be added in the research , if the data of the factors is available .In this study , the GDP per capita was divided into 4 sections .The division standard of the GDP per capita can be more delicate .What is more important for the development of health expenditure is not contin-uing input , but better input-output ratio because of diminishing of marginal returns .One set of standards cannot be a-dapted to all countries and districts .We should give full consideration to the improvement of people's health instead of increasing input because the ultimate goal is the former .

Objective: To investigate differentially expressed protein profiles in B16-F10 grafted melanoma and its metastasis in the lung in order to identify molecular markers of melanoma metastasis. Methods: Differentially expressed proteins in B16-F10 grafted melanoma and its metastatic lesion in the lung were isolated and identified by fluorescence two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis(2D-DIGE)coupled with matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).Some of identified proteins were further confirmed by Real-time PCR analysis. Results: High resolutional images of differential gel electrophoresis were obtained and 9 of 30 differentially expressed proteins (IRatiol≥2,P<0.01)were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS.The expression of Myoglobin(MB),vimentin(VIM),phosphoglycerate kinase 1(PGK1),Triosephosphate isomerase(TPI or TIM),heavy-chain binding protein(BiP),α-enolase,β-actin,γ-actin,and laminin-binding protein were up-regulated in the experimental group compared with the control group.These proteins were involved in the cytoskeletal formation,glycolysis and so on.Real-time PCR analysis showed up-regulation of mRNA expression of PGK1 and TPI in the experimental group(P=0.001 and 0.003),which was in consistent with the resuits of proteomic analysis. Conclusion: A variety of abnormally expressed proteins contribute to the metastasis of mice melanoma.Glycolytic enzymes PGK1 and TPI may be involved in this process.

Objective To measure the expression of activin receptor-like kinases 1(ALK1)in dermal fibroblasts from patients with systemic scleroderma(SSc)and to estimate its role in the production of fibronectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1).Methods Dermal fibroblasts were isolated from the lesions of 12 patients with SSc as well as the normal skin of 14 healthy controls,and subjected to a primary culture.The third-passage fibroblasts were used in the next experiment.Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence technique were utilized to quantify the expression of ALK1.A specific siRNA targeting ALK1 was designed,constructed,and transiently transfected into the control dermal fibroblasts,which were then classified into 2 groups to be cultured with or without the presence of transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 for 72 hours followed by the detection of fibronectin and PAI-1 expression with Western blot.Results As Western blot and direct immunofluorescence technique showed,both control and SSc fibroblasts showed an expression of ALK1 in the cytoplasm and membrane,and the expression intensity of ALK1 in SSc fibroblasts was significantly higher than that in the control fibroblasts(1.97 ± 0.05 vs.1.12 ± 0.03,t =50.96,P < 0.05).The expression of ALK1,fibronectin and PAI-1 was decreased by 90%,58% and 31% respectively in specific siRNA-transfected SSc fibroblasts compared with the control siRNA-transfected fibroblasts.TGFβ1 significantly increased the expression of ALK1,fibronectin and PAI-1 in the control siRNA-transfected fibroblasts,but the increase was markedly inhibited by the siRNA-targeting ALK1.Conlusion TGFβ1 can promote the production of fibronectin and PAI-1 via ALK1 in fibroblasts,and ALK1 may be involved in the development of sclerosis in SSc.
