Ultrasound,MRI and mammography play significant roles in diagnosis,staging and follow-up of patients with breast cancer.With the development of individualized treatment of breast cancer,the molecular classification of breast cancer has vital reference value for treatment protocols.The requirements of medical imaging evolve from detecting breast cancer by morphological characteristics to making more accurate diagnosis using functional imaging for breast cancer.Correlations between molecular subtypes and ultrasonic,mammographic and MRI features of breast cancer attract broad attention.The correlation of molecular subtypes with uhrasound,MRI and mammography features in breast cancer patients were reviewed in this article.

Objective To establish a pre-column derivatization-high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method for the determination of free formaldehyde in Sabin strain inactivated poliovirus vaccine(IPV)(Vero cells), validate and apply the method, so as to provide a new method for the determination of free formaldehyde in vaccines.Methods The sample was derivatized with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and loaded onto a C18 chromatographic column(5 μm, 120 ?, 4. 6 mm ×250 mm). The detection wavelength, mobile phase ratio, flow rate, derivatization time, temperature, buffer solution, and derivatization container were optimized for the separation conditions. The specificity, linearity, repeatability, accuracy, limit of detection(LOD), limit of quantitation(LOQ) and robustness of the method were verified. The content of free formaldehyde in 20 batches of IPV(Vero cells) was detected by using the optimized method.Results Chromatographic conditions: acetonitrile and water in a 70∶30 volume ratio as mobile phase, flow rate 0. 6 mL/min, determination at a wavelength of 352 nm.Derivatization conditions: 0. 5 mL of acetonitrile solution containing 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and 0. 25 mL of pH 5. 0buffer were added, followed by a 20 min incubation in 60 ℃ water bath. This chromatographic separation conditions effectively separated 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and formaldehyde derivatives, and the acetaldehyde had no effect on the determination results. In the range of 0. 05-100 μg/mL, formaldehyde standard concentration exhibited a good linear relationship with the peak area, with the r value of 0. 999 9. The relative standard deviations(RSDs) of six test results in the repeatability test was 0. 36%. The recovery rates of formaldehyde content in nine samples were between 102. 0% and 107. 0%. The LOD and LOQ were 0. 025 and 0. 05 μg/mL, respectively. The sample remained stable for 48 h after derivation, showing good robustness. The results of the same batch of samples had good repeatability, and the formaldehyde content was between 4. 5-9. 9 μg/dose.Conclusion The established method has the advantages of wide measurement range, good linearity and high accuracy, and can accurately quantify free formaldehyde in Sabin strain IPV(Vero cells), which can be used as an auxiliary detection method for free formaldehyde content in vaccine products, and is of great significance to the lot release and quality supervision for vaccines.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of single glucocorticoid treatment and glucocorticoid joint cyclophosphamide treatment on thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.MethodsRetrospective analysis of clinical data of 35patients used single glucocorticoid( single medicine group) and 16 patients used glucocorticoids joint cyclophosphamide(joint group) was carried out.ResultsThe effective rate of joint group(93.8％ ) was significantly higher than single drug group (68.6％) ( x2 =3.87,P ＜ 0.05).Simple using glucocorticoid had significant treatment effect at CAS score,prominent eyes degrees,soft tissue inflammation score,but the curative effect was significantly lower than the joint group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The adverse reaction rate had no significant difference between two groups.ConclusionCompared to single glucocorticoid treatment,the glucocorticoid joint cyclophosphamide treatment had better effect and lower adverse reaction rate,especially suitable for patients who had no effect or low effect on hormone therapy.

Objective To explore the preliminary significance of overexpressed MUC-1 mRNA in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma. Method Total RNAs of 23 paired fresh lung samples and lung adenocarcinoma samples were extracted by routine Trizol way. After total RNAs were transcribed into cDNA, the expression of MUC-1 gene was detected in these samples by real-time PCR. Finally, the correlation of MUC-1 expression with the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed. Result Compared with normal lung tissues, the expression of MUC-1 in 20( 87% ) lung adenocarcinoma samples was markedly increased. Compared with early and mid-stage lung adenocarcinoma samples,. the overexpressed MUC-1 in late stage lung adenocarcinoma samples was increased by 2.2 folds. In addition, compared with primary lung adenocarcinoma samples without lymph node metastasis, MUC-1 mRNA was increased in primary lung adenocarcinoma samples with lymph node and distant metastasis ( 2.5 folds). Conclusion Overexpressed MUC-1 may participate in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma.

AIM: To construct eukaryotic expression vector of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene, and to explore the effects of VEGF gene on proliferation and chemosensitivity of leukemia cells. METHODS: The recombinant eukaryotic express plasmid pEGFP-C1-hVEGF_(165) was constructed with conventional gene engineering methods. The pEGFP-C1-hVEGF_165 was transfected into leukemia cell K562. The proliferation of the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid was analyzed by CCK8 method. The level of VEGF mRNA was detected by reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression level of VEGF protein was determined by ELISA in cell culture medium and cells. The cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: VEGF_(165) eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed, confirmed by enzyme digestion and sequencing. Compared with the K562 cells transfected pEGFP-C1, the K562 cells transfected with pEGFP-C1-hVEGF_(165) grew faster and expressions of VEGF mRNA and protein increased significantly. In addition, K562 cells transfected with pEGFP-C1-hVEGF_(165) had relatively higher cell survival rate to chemotherapy drugs homoharringtonine(HHT) and fluorouracil(FU). CONCLUSION: VEGF_(165) eukaryotic expression vector increases the level of VEGF mRNA and protein expression, accordingly promotes the proliferation of leukemia cells and decreases the sensitivity of leukemia cells to HHT and FU.
