Anopheles minimus was once a main malaria vector in Hainan Island and had been e-liminated basically through the campaign of indoor residual spraying launched in 1959. It again became an incriminated vector of some focal malaria outbreaks in recent years. The present study was conducted in a selected county-Danxian and a typical hilly area-Feibar in the west part of Danxian county in 1989-1990.An. minimus was found in 50% and 62. 5 % of the surveyed sites at mountainous and hilly area of Danxian county,but not found in coastal region. An. minimus was found in all 18 sites surveyed in Feibar district constituting 52% of anopheline composition. Man-biting rate made by human-baited collection was 3. 2 before midniaght and 38. 2 when collected through whole night in some sites. However, the behaviour characteristics of An. minimus has changed. It has become exophilic,exophagic, and has an equal preference for man and cattle. The vectorial capacity of An. minimus estimated by quantitative data was in accord with malaria infection rate in Feibar district ,and the malaria infection rate among the inhabitants in three types of residential quarter with different socioeconomic conditions. Malaria infection rates of residential quarter of land-reclamation outcomers, villagers and state farm residents were 10%,2. 9% and 0. 5% respectively during 40 days from July to August,1990.Owing to the fact that An. minimus has become a secondary vector only next to An. dirus, with a wide range of distribution and a considerable different characteristics in behaviour compared to that before spraying campaign , it is suggested that a malaria control programme must be seriously planned to adjust the new problem of malaria epidemiology in Hainan Province.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of serum P-cadherin( P-cad)level in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods A total of 80 patients with NSCLC in Hanzhong 3201 Hospital of Shaanxi Province from January 2012 to December 2013 were selected as study subjects. The relationships between serum P-cad level and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. The Cox regres-sion analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting prognosis of NSCLC patients. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method and the difference test was carried out by log-rank method. Results There were significant differences in lymph node metastasis(χ2 = 14. 31,P < 0. 001),vascular invasion(χ2 = 5. 56, P = 0. 018)among NSCLC patients with different levels of serum P-cad. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis(HR = 0. 856,95% CI:0. 702-0. 955,P = 0. 012),TNM stage(ⅢA HR =1. 315,95% CI:1. 058-1. 991,P = 0. 024;ⅢB HR = 1. 448,95% CI:1. 124-2. 215,P = 0. 011;Ⅳ HR =1. 569,95% CI:1. 182-2. 441,P < 0. 001)and high level of serum P-cad(HR = 1. 815,95% CI:1. 224-3. 562,P < 0. 001)were risk factors for progression-free survival in NSCLC patients,and lymph node metasta-sis(HR = 0. 755,95% CI:0. 652-0. 915,P = 0. 022),poor differentiation(HR = 1. 622,95% CI:1. 112-2. 015,P < 0. 001),TNM stage(ⅢA HR = 1. 335,95% CI:1. 064-2. 014,P = 0. 011;ⅢB HR = 1. 489, 95% CI:1. 129-2. 297,P < 0. 001;Ⅳ HR = 1. 622,95% CI:1. 192-2. 501,P < 0. 001)and high level of serum P-cad(HR = 1. 677,95% CI:1. 193-2. 668,P < 0. 001)were risk factors for overall survival of NSCLC patients. The results of Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with high level of serum P-cad were shorter than those of patients with low level of serum P-cad(χ2 = 5. 18,P = 0. 015;χ2 = 5. 48,P = 0. 011). Conclusion High level of serum P-cad is closely related to poor prognosis in NSCLC patients.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanisms of resistance to phosphatidyl inositol 3?kinase ( PI3K) inhibitors in triple?negative breast cancer ( TNBC) cells. Methods HCC70 cells ( TNBC) were transfected with siFZD7, siWANT5B or siGSK3 using lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent. The expression levels of key proteins of WNT/β?catenin and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways were determined by Western blot analysis. After HCC70, MCF?7 ( ER?positive ) and SK?BR3 ( HER2?positive ) cells were treated with PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors, the inhibition rates of cell proliferation were measured by MTT assay, and half maximal inhibitory concentrations ( IC50 ) were calculated. The altered activities of WNT/β?catenin and PI3K/AKT/mTOR proteins were detected by Western blot and luciferase report gene assay, respectively. The nuclear translocation of β?catenin protein was examined by immunofluorescence assay. Xenograft nude mouse model was used to evaluate the tumorigenicity of breast cancer cells treated with BKM120 in vivo. The expression levels of p?LRP6, p?4EBP1 and β?catenin proteins in the tumor tissues were determined by immunohistochemical staining. Results The expression levels of FZD7, WANT5B and GSK3 proteins were significantly reduced in the HCC70 cells transfected with the target siRNAs. Meanwhile, the activity of WNT/β?catenin was enhanced and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was inhibited. PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors suppressed MCF?7 and SK?BR3 cell proliferation. The IC50 of GDC?094, BKM120, XL147, perifosine, everolimus, and BEZ235 in MCF?7 cells were 0. 46 mmol/L, 1. 44 mmol/L, 4. 34 mmol/L, 11.35 μmol/L, 53. 71 μmol/L and 12. 87 μmol/L respectively, and 0. 63 mmol/L, 0. 58 mmol/L, 3. 74 mmol/L, 13.22μmol/L, 60.00μmol/L and 11.38μmol/L in the SK?BR3 cells, respectively. The results of luciferase report gene assay showed that the luciferase activities in HCC70, MCF?7 and SK?BR3 cells treated with BKM120 were 1.75±0.05, 1.13±0.02 and 0.43±0.01, respectively. The luciferase activities in HCC70 and SK?BR3 cells were significantly different from that of the control cells (1.00±0.02, P<0.05). The immunohistochemical analysis showed that BKM120 inhibited mTOR activity, and the enhanced WNT/β?catenin activity reversed the phenotype of inhibitory mTOR induced by BKM120. BKM120 suppressed the tumorigenic ability of MCF?7 and SK?BR3 cells in vivo, but had no effect on cultured HCC70 cells. The immunohistochemical analysis showed nuclear translocation of β?catenin protein and increased expression level of p?LRP?6 protein in transplanted tumor tissues from HCC70 cells treated with BKM120, increased the level of p?LRP?6 protein, and no changes of p?4EBP1 protein expression. However, no nuclear translocation of β?catenin protein and no decrease of p?LRP6 and p?4EBP1 protein levels in the transplanted tumor tissue of MCF?7 cells after treatment with BKM120. Conclusions The triple?negative breast cancer HCC70 cells have drugs?resistance to PI3K inhibitors. The WNT/β?catenin signaling pathway may regulate the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, therefore, inducing the drug?resistance of TNBC cells to PI3K inhibitors.
