Objective To develop and validate a ultrasonographic (US)imaging agent with targeted microbubbles that attaches to chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2)and to compare the US single obtained from targeted microbubble with that from control microbubble in murine breast tumor model.Methods The microbubble which carried CCR2 antibody (MBCCR2 )and isotype-macthed immunoglobulin G-labled control microbubble (MBcontrol ) were prepared. The microbubble size and distribution were assessed by AccuSizer780.Binding specificities of targeted microbubble compared with control microbubble were tested with murine microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3 ).Orthotopic breast tumor model was estabished in BALB/c mice with mouse breast cancer 4T1 cell.In vivo imaging signals of contrast material-enhanced ultrasound by use these two different types of microbubble which were injected respectively into each mouse at random order and 30 min interval.Tumor tissue was stained for CCR2 and CD3 1 .Results Automatic Particle Sizer showed size uniform of two kinds of microbubbles,and narrow distribution of particle size (mean diameter of about 1 -2 μm),which were not significantly different (P >0.05).Adhension to bEnd. 3 endothelial cells was significantly higher (P < 0.001 )for MBCCR2 (mean,9.50 ± 1 .5 1 )than that for MBcontrol (mean,0.01 ±0.01).Imaging signal in the murine tumor model was significantly higher for MBCCR2 [mean,(6.76±0.26)dB]than that for MBcontrol [mean,(1 .06 ±0.62)dB,P <0.001 ].Immunofluorescence confirmed expression of CCR2 on tumor vasculature.Conclusions The targeted microbubbles with CCR2 monoclonal antibody had been successfully prepared,which precisely targeted to CCR2 of tumor angiogenesis in the murine breast cancer xenograft tumor models in vivo.These results suggest that the targeted microbubbles as a kind of ultrasound molecular imaging agent with a better specificity can be used for both evaluating tumor neovascularization and monitoring therapeutic effect of anti-angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the effect of BML-111 (the analogue of lipoxin) on uterine Hela cell (cervix cancer cell line) proliferation and the underlying mechanism. Methods Hela cells were stimulated by 50, 100, 200 and 400 μg/L BML-111, respectively, and cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Hela cells were divided into three groups:the control group (no treatment), the BML-111(200μg/L) group and the BML-111(200μg/L)plus Boc-2 (10μmol/L)group. Expression and location of P53 protein were detected by immunofluorescence. Expressions of NF-κB p65,P53 and CyclinD1 protein were detected by Western blotting. Results BML-111 (100, 200 and 400 μg/L) could effectively inhibit Hela cell viability compared with the control group (P < 0.05). P53 expression was shown decreased in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm without any change of P53 location , however, Boc-2 could reverse this effect. BML-111 could effectively inhibit P53 and CyclinD1 expression via NF-κB pathway and the effects could also be inhibited by Boc-2. Conclusions BML-111 can effectively inhibit Hela cell proliferation via FPR2 and NF-κB pathway.

Objective:
To examine the application of arm circumference to evaluating the nutritional risk among cancer patients, so as to provide insights into nutritional risk screening among cancer patients.
Methods:
Totally 332 cancer patients hospitalized in the Department of Oncology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2020 to March 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Subjects'demographic data and disease history were collected, and the height, body weight, arm circumference and serum nutritional indicators were measured. The indicators related to nutritional risk were identified by logistic regression models. The value of arm circumference in assessment of nutritional risk was examined among cancer patients using the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve analysis, and the Nutritional Risk Screening ( NRS 2002 ) scores were used as the gold standard.
Results:
The subjects included 188 males ( 56.63% ) and 144 females ( 43.37% ), and had a mean age of ( 51.62±12.31 ) years. The detection rate of nutritional risk was 36.75% among the subjects according to NRS 2002, with 29.78% in males and 45.83% in females. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified arm circumference as an independent factor affecting the nutritional risk among cancer patients ( P<0.05 ). The area under the ROC curve, cut-off, sensitivity and specificity of arm circumference in predicting nutritional risk were 0.857 ( 95%CI: 0.795-0.918, P<0.001 ), 24.4 cm, 83.3% and 78.6% among male cancer patients, and 0.727 ( 95%CI: 0.643-0.810, P<0.001 ), 23.9 cm, 78.2% and 57.6% among female cancer patients, respectively.
Conclusions
Arm circumference is feasible for screening nutritional risk among cancer patients. The cut-off value of nutritional risk was determined by arm circumference less than 24.4 cm in men and less than 23.9 cm in women with good accuracy.

Objective To compare the results of transcatheter intervention (TI) and surgical operation (SO) in the pri-mary treatment for pulmonary atrcsia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS). Methods From January 2006 to May 2009, 25 patients (20 male,5 female) with PA/IVS were treated. The age at treatment was from 2 days to 8 months. The body weight was from 2.1 kg to 6.7 kg. All patients had mild to moderate hypoplasia of the right ventricle (the Z-valvue of the tricuspid valve: from -2 to 1.5) with tripatite right ventricle and without coronary artery-right ventricular fistula. Eight patients under-went TI and 17 patients underwent SO. Results The primary procedure was successful in 7 patients (88%) in TI group and in 16 patients (94%) in SO group. There were 2 deaths (1 in each group). There was no significant difference regarding re-sidual pulmonary stenosis between two groups. The ventilation time and the days of hospital stay were shorter in TI group than in SO group. All the survivors were followed up for 3-36 months. One patient required repeat balloon dilation in TI group. While in SO group, one required reoperation and one required balloon dilation for PS, and 2 patients were waiting for balloon dilation. Twenty-one patients have achieved complete biventricular circulation. Two patients were scheduled for Glenn shunt operation later (1 in each group). Conclusion For PA/IVS patients with mild or moderate right ventricle hypoplasia, tran-scatheter intervention is a better alternative than surgical operation in the primary treatment.
