Objective To explore the three ultrasonic technologies of two -dimensional ultrasound(2D -US),ultrasonic elastography(UE) and contrast -enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) for the measurement error in breast cancer and the correlation with the expression of ER,PR,VEGF.Methods 50 patients with breast cancer were meas-ured by 2D -US,UE,CEUS preoperatively,and the pathological specimen were measured postoperatively.Then used the immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of ER,PR,VEGF in tumor,and analyzed the correlation with the measurement errors.Results The results of differences between 2D -US,UE,CEUS and pathology were respectively as follows:( -0.59 ±-0.34)cm,( -0.20 ±-0.14)cm,( -0.40 ±-0.31)cm,and the differences were statistically significant(F =20.497,P <0.001).The positive expression rate of ER and PR was high if the difference between UE and 2D -US was less than or equal to 0.44cm.And the positive expression rate of VEGF was low if the difference between CEUS and 2D -US was less than or equal to 0.19cm.Three ultrasonic technologies in the measurement of breast cancer were different,the trend of difference between UE and 2D -US was smaller if the ER and PR were positively expression,and the trend of difference between CEUS and 2D -US was bigger if the VEGF was positively expression.Conclusion There is correlation between different immunohistochemical expression of breast cancer with measurement error in three different ultrasonic imaging technologies.The results suggest that the molecular pathology difference of breast cancer can impact on ultrasonic imaging,which contributes to know the reason and regulation of measurement error in different ultrasonic imaging technology.

Objective To explore the effect of liraglutide on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and related mechanisms.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats were divided into sham group,I/R injury group,and liraglutide group by table of random number (n =8 each).Myocardial I/R injury model was established by occlusion of the left anterior descending artery for 30 min followed by 2 h of reperfusion.HE stain method was used to observe cardiomyocyte status under light microscope,myocardial tissue samples were stained with TTC to measure the myocardial infarction size,protein expression of p53 and caspase-3 was analyzed by immunohistochemical technique and Western blot respectively,xanthine oxidase method was used to detect SOD activity,Thiobarbituric acid method was used to measure the concentration of MDA.Results Compared with the I/R group,the degree of myocardial damage of liraglutide group was significantly reduced and the myocardial infarct area was significantly lower ((44 ± 8) % vs.(62 ± 8) %,P < 0.05) while protein expression of caspase-3 and p53 in liraglutide group was significantly downregulated (0.19 ±0.03 vs.0.24 ± 0.02 and 0.27 ± 0.03 vs.0.39 ± 0.04,P < 0.05).SOD activity was significantly increased and MDA concentration was significantly decreased (74.20 ± 11.10 vs.44.04 ± 14.30 and 4.41 ± 1.07 vs.8.72 ± 2.20,P < 0.05) in liraglutide group compared to I/R group.Conclusion Liraglutide protects myocardium against I/R injury possibly through reducing cardiomyocytes apoptosis and oxidation.

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiologic characteristics of Norovirus among adult patients suffering from infectious diarrhea in Shanghai, so as to provide evidence for developing related strategies on prevention and control of the disease.
Methods:
Diarrheal outpatients were monitored at the 'Intestinal clinic’ from 22 hospitals involved in the sentinel surveillance program in Shanghai. Information on demographic and epidemiologic features of the patients was collected while data and clinical, fecal specimens were collected and sent to the district CDC for Norovirus detection. Positive rates of Norovirus were also compared in various populations and seasons during 2013-2018. Multivariate logistic regression model was adopted to fit into the comparisons between non-Norovirus and Norovirus groups.
Results:
19.28% of the 12 083 diarrheal cases were found to have carried the Norovirus, with GⅡgroup the most commonly identified genotype. Rates of detection was seen higher in males (20.78%) than in females (17.73%). 30-44 year-old were found having the highest positive rate (21.51%). The positive rates were found the highest (23.60%) in the year of 2015. All the above shown differences were statistically significant (

In order to meet the needs of prevention and control of intestinal infectious diseases, a comprehensive surveillance for diarrheal diseases has been innovated and explored in Shanghai since 2012. The surveillance has extensive distribution of sentinel hospitals, systematic sampling, multi-pathogen collection, and hospital information system (HIS) as the basis, which has achieved “One system for surveillance of multiple diseases and one sample for detection of multiple pathogens". Continual active surveillance for the whole population has been conducted, covering demography, clinical information, epidemiology, pathogen detection, and drug sensitivity test for diarrhea cases. The surveillance has obtained preliminary achievements as follows. First, diarrheal diseases and their periodic changes have been characterized, in which the most prevalent pathogen of diarrhea is determined to be norovirus in Shanghai. Second, some rare pathogens and serotypes have been identified that may provide clues to the sources of outbreaks. Third, it facilitates the information sharing between public health institutions and clinical institutions, and provides scientific evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the future, Shanghai diarrhea comprehensive surveillance will be improved for expanding range and depth of surveillance, artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis and treatment, early warning of outbreaks, prediction of epidemic trends, and application of new detection technologies.

ObjectiveTo investigate an outbreak of norovirus diarrhea in a welfare home for the elderly in Shanghai, and to analyze the epidemiology and virus genotype characteristics of the epidemic, thus providing a scientific basis for the prevention and control of norovirus epidemic. MethodsCase definition was clarified. After case definition, a standardized questionnaire was used to carry out case investigation to make comprehensive analysis in combination with field epidemiological investigation and laboratory tests results. ResultsThe epidemic lasted for 14 days, and 23 cases were reported with an incidence rate of 12.37% (23/186), including 3 males and 20 females. There were more cases on the 1st, 4th and 6th floor of the main building in the welfare home, accounting for 52.17% (12/23) of total cases. 19 cases were reported in the main building, with an incidence rate of 11.59% (19/164); 4 cases were reported in the auxiliary building, with an incidence rate of 18.18% (4/22). There was no significant difference in the morbidity between the main building and the auxiliary building (χ2=0.779,P>0.05). The main clinical manifestations were vomiting and diarrhea. There was a significant difference in the incidence of vomiting symptoms among the elderly, nursing staff and other staff in the welfare home (χ2=10.216, P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in the incidence of diarrhea among the elderly, nursing staff and other staff (χ2=1.218, P>0.05). Fecal samples were collected from 23 cases, 1 case family member, 68 risk personnel and 14 environmental surface swab samples. Norovirus GⅡ was detected in stool samples of 19 cases, 1 family member and 36 risk personnel. ConclusionOutbreak of norovirus infection is reported in a welfare home in Shanghai. The close contact between the elderly and health workers might lead to the outbreak.
