Objective To understand the awareness status of knowledge on malaria control among residents and students,so as to evaluate the effectiveness of health education during the elimination phase of malaria in Jinshan District ,Shanghai City. Methods In 2010 and 2014,the stratified sampling and cluster sampling methods were taken to select the investigation sites, including 3 villages,1 middle schools,1 primary school,then the residents above 15 years old and the students in the above se?lected sites were investigated by questionnaires to understand their awareness status on malaria control. Results In 2010,the general awareness rates of malaria control knowledge of the study objects were 74.22%,and those of the residents,middle school students,and primary school students were 75.68%,61.86%and 72.20%,respectively. There was no significant differ?ence between the awareness rates of objects with different gender(χ2=1.755,P>0.05). The rate of the residents was higher than that of the students(χ2=59.838,P<0.01). From 2010 to 2014,a series of health education on malaria control was car?ried out. In 2014,the general awareness rate of knowledge on malaria control was 96.03%,and those of the residents,middle school student,and primary school students were 92.28%,98.59%and 99.49%,respectively. The awareness rate of the stu?dents was higher than that of the residents(χ2=275.794,P<0.01). Conclusion Through the health education and communi?ty advocacy,the awareness rates of knowledge on malaria control among residents and students have improved and met the quali?fication of malaria elimination in Jinshan District.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the consistency of HER2 gene status before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) and IHC (immunohistochemistry) techniques,and analyze the factor of the difference in the result and the feasibility of HER2 gene tested by FISH in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy breast cancer patients.Methods FISH and IHC for HER2 gene expression status was performed on the archival paraffin-embedded sections of breast cancer tissues before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy from 135 Chinese female patients,x2 test of paired comparison of enumeration data and Kappa analysis were used to compare the difference and consistency of this two techniques.ResultsThe detection rate of HER2 status in punctured cancer tissues before neoadjuvant chemotherapy by FISH and HER2 did not show statistical difference in our research while the opposite result were showed in cancer tissues after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Moreover,the two techniques of HER2 test were less concordant in patients accepted taxanes neoadjuvant chemotherapy than CAF treatment.ConclusionsThe consistency of FISH and IHC techniques of cancer tissues before neoadjuvant chemotherapy gained advantage compared to the ones after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy especially taxanes should take the test of HER2 gene status by FISH technique.

Objective To investigate the relationship between RAD51 135G ＞ C polymorphism and prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer patients by retrospective analysis.Methods The clinical data of 62 triplenegative breast cancer patients were collected.The 62 cases underwent standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy after tumor resection from Jan.2004 to Dec.2010 in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University.RAD51 135G ＞ C polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RELP) technology.The survival curve about progress free and overall survival time were then made.Results The median progress free and overall survival time in triple-negative breast cancer patients with or with-out RAD51 135G ＞ C polymorphism were(77.00 ±5.55)and(89.00 ± 10.40) months vs(99.00 ±4.26)and (103.00 ±4.30) months.The difference had statistical significance(P =0.039 and 0.015 respectively).Conclusion RAD51 135G ＞ C polymorphism is related with prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer patients,which might be a prognostic factor for breast cancer.

Objective To discuss the protein level of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha(HIF-1α),glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in breast cancer tissue in diabetic patients and its significance.Methods HIF-1α,Glut-1 and VEGF protein levels were measured by immunohistochemical staining in 112 cases of primary breast cancer tissues.CD31 labeled vascular endothelial cells were used to evaluate micro vascular density (MVD).The correlation between the effect of blood sugar control and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.Results The expression of HIF-1α,Glut-1 and VEGF protein in breast cancer tissues of diabetic patients was significantly higher than that in breast cancer tissues of non-diabetic patients(t =2.255,P =0.030; t =2.154,P=0.038; t =2.225,P =0.032).HIF-1α was positively correlated with Glut-1 and VEGF in diabetic patients with breast cancer (r =0.561,P =0.003 ; r =0.435,P =0.014).The level of MVD in breast cancer tissues of diabetic patients was obviously higher than that in the non-diabetic patients with breast cancer(t =9.458,P =0.000).The effect of blood sugar control was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumor stage in diabetic patients with breast cancer(x2 =4.689,P =0.030; x2 =5.051,P =0.025).Conclusion Hypoxia-related factors including HIF-1α,Glut-1 and VEGF and MVD are upregulated in diabetic patients with breast cancer,and the effect of blood sugar control is correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumor stage,suggesting diabetes mellitus may promote tumor progression through high glucose and hypoxia in breast cancer.

Objective To verify the association between common breast cancer susceptibility loci which have been confirmed in European and Asian populations and breast cancer susceptibility in sporadic breast cancer among the Han nationality in Henan province , and to analyze their genotypes in the internal type of breast cancer . Methods In 253 breast cancer patients ( the case group ) and 343 patients who had benign breast lesions ( the control group), rs2046210(6q25.1), rs2981582(EGFR2), rs889312(MAP3K1), and rs3803662(TOX3/TNRC9)were genotyped by SNP im-LDR technique.According to estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)and Ki67, breast cancer are divided into 5 types:Lu-minal A, Luminal B, HER2-enrich, Luminal HER2, and triple negative breast cancer ( TNBC).Results rs2046210(6q25.1), rs2981582(EGFR2), rs889312(MAP3K1)had no statistical differences between the case group and the control group(P=0.421, 0.459, and 0.468), but the genotype of rs3803662(TOX3/TNRC9)in the case group and the control group had statistical difference (P=0.037).The allelic frequencies of rs3803662 between the case group and control group were different in codominant inheritance ( OR=2.19, 95%CI:1.19-4.02)and recessive genetic models (OR =2.06,95% CI:1.15 -3.70).Compared with AA and GA, GG in-creased the risk of breast cancer ( P =0.012, 0.015 ).The genotypes of rs2046210 ( 6q25.1 ), rs2981582 (EGFR2), rs889312(MAP3K1), and rs3803662(TOX3/TNRC9)had no difference in different types of breast cancer.Conclusions Four common breast cancer susceptibility loci from GWAS are not entirely associated with breast cancer risk among the Han nationality in Henan province .Only rs3803662(TOX3/TNRC9)is confirmed to increase the risk of breast cancer .Different genotypes of 4 loci distribute equally in different types of breast cancer .

Objective To explore the value of prenatal MRI in the diagnosis of fetal simple expansion of lateral ventricle(ventriculomegaly), and follow up the nervous system development status after birth. Methods Simple expansion of the lateral ventricle fetus by prenatal MRI examination were collected in Huzhou Maternal and Child Care Hospital from May 2013 to June 2015, 126 cases of live births in expansion group, 50 normal cases were recruited in the same period as the control group. In expansion group, fetal subgroup analysis was done:(1) unilateral or bilateral lateral ventricle expasion:one group was 98 cases was lateral ventricle expansion (77.8%, 98/126), expansion of bilateral ventricle group was 28 cases (22.2%, 28/126). (2) Prenatal MRI in the diagnosis of the lateral ventricle of expansion: expansion of the lateral ventricle width was greater than 10.0 mm, if both sides were expanding, the expand width was the heavier one side, divided into 3 subgroups: ①Expansion in group A (lateral ventricle width 10.0-12.0 mm) were 88 cases (69.8%, 88/126).②Expansion in group B (lateral ventricle width 12.1-15.0 mm) were 29 cases (23.0%, 29/126). ③Expansion of group C (lateral ventricle width> 15.0 mm) were 9 cases (7.12%, 9/126). All 176 cases were followed up after birth at the 3rd, 6th, 12th, 18th month (corrected age was used for premature babies), and Gesell developmental schedules (GDS) were used to evaluate the neurobehavioral development. Results (1) The MRI results after birth:21 cases were followed up by MRI after birth. In group A, 11 cases had MRI and 9 were normal (the ventricular width<10.0 mm after birth) , the other 2 cases were stable (the ventricular width measured first time after birth was ≥10.0 mm, but the difference was within 2.0 mm from the MRI before birth). In group B, 4 cases had MRI, 1 was normal, 1 was stable, and 2 cases were getting better (the ventricular width measured first time after birth was ≥10.0 mm, but the width decreased more than 2.0 mm from the MRI before birth). In group C, 6 cases had MRI. 3 cases were getting better and 3 cases were stable. (2) Overall GDS results:expansion group after the birth of the 3rd, 6th, 12th, 18th month GDS evaluation results compared with control group, respectively, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). (3) The GDS results among the subgroups:in each evaluation after birth, there were no statistically significant differences between group A and the control group (all P>0.05). The GDS results of group B at the 3rd and 6th month were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05); while there were no statistically significant differences between the 2 goups at the 12th and 18th month (P>0.05). And for group C, statistically significant differences were found compared to the control group at each follow-up time (all P<0.05). (4) GDS results at different times after birth in the expansion group:there was no statistically significant difference between the results at the 3rd and 6th month (P>0.05). But when the result at the 3rd month was compared to the results of the 12th or 18th month, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). GDS result of 6th months after birth compared with 12th and 18th months, respectively, there were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the results at the 12th and 18th month (P>0.05). (5) The GDS results in unilateral and bilateral ventricle expansion:at the 18th month, among the 98 unilateral cases, 86 (87.8%, 86/98) had normal GDS results(>85 scores);8 (8.2%, 8/98) had borderline results (75-85 scores);4 (4.1%, 4/98) had delayed results (<75 scores). Among the 28 bilateral cases, 23 (82.1%, 23/28) had normal GDS results;3 (10.7%, 3/28) had borderline results; 2 (7.1%, 2/28) had delayed results. There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Among the simple expansion of lateral ventricle, those whose ventricular width are≤12.0 mm may not need clinical treatment. If the width is between 12.1 to 15.0 mm, closely follow-up and targeted rehabilitation training after birth are recommended. When the width is more than 15.0 mm, the risk of the central nervous system function delay is significantly increased, and early intervention might improve the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation of body mass index (BMI) on pathological complete response (pCR) and prognosis of breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 98 cases of breast cancer patients in the Tumor Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from December 2013 to November 2015.Patients were divided into normal or underweight (N/U,BMI ＜25.0 kg/m2) group,overweight (OW,BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2)group and obese (OB,BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2) group according to BMI.A total number of 50 (51.0％) patients were N/U,32 (32.6％) patients were OW,and 16 (16.3％) patients were OB.The pathological complete remission after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was observed,and the prognostic evaluation index was disease-free survival rates.Univariate analysis of BMI and pCR correlations was performed by Chi-square test or Fisher exact test,and logistic regression for multivariate analysis.Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to analyze survival status,and Cox proportional hazard model analysis for multivariate analysis.Results In this study,A statistically significant difference was found in the molecular subtypes of the three groups(P ＜ 0.05).Twenty-nine(29.6％) patients achieved pCR,pCR rates in N/U group,OW group and OB group were 36.0％ (18/50),25.0％ (8/32),and 18.8％ (3/16),respectively,but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that obesity and molecular subtype were independent factors of pCR in all patients (P ＜ 0.05).The 3-year disease free survival rates of the N/U,OW,and OB groups were 84.0％,93.5％ and 80.4％,respectively (P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate survival analysis showed that the BMI was not an independent prognostic factor for the 3-year disease free survival rate (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Excessive BMI (obesity) is an independent predictor of pCR in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy,but does not affect the prognosis of these patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate in vitro activities of 12 antimicrobial agents including cefmetazole against extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli(528 strains),Klebsiella pneumoniae(311 strains) and Proteus mirabilis(15 strains).METHODS They all collected from 15 teaching hospitals in China during 2005 and 2006 and included in the study.The levels of minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of 12 antimicrobial agents were determined by agar dilution method.WHONET 5.4 Software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS Against ESBLs-producing E.coli and ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,carbapenems were the most active antimicrobial agents(all 100.0% susceptible),followed by cephamycins(80.1-97.3%).Piperacillin/tazobactam(78.5-95.1%)showed a higher activity than cefoperazone/sulbactam(44.1-56.2%).The susceptible rate to ceftazidime against ESBLs-producing E.coli was remarkably higher than the other three cephalosporins,however the differences did not happen to ESBL-producing K.pneumoniae obviously.The susceptible rate to cefuroxime was below 1.6%.ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae showed high sensitivity to carbapenems,cephamycins and ?-lactam/lactamase inhibitor combinations(all 100% susceptible),however the susceptible rates to cephalosporins were relatively lower.CONCLUSIONS Carbapenems and cephamycins remain the relatively high activity against ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

After decades of development,protein and peptide drugs have now grown into a major drug class in the marketplace.Target identification and validation are crucial for the discovery of protein and peptide drugs,and bioinformatics prediction of targets based on the characteristics of known target proteins will help improve the efficiency and success rate of target selection.However,owing to the developmental history in the pharmaceutical industry,previous systematic exploration of the target spaces has mainly focused on traditional small-molecule drugs,while studies related to protein and peptide drugs are lacking.Here,we systematically explore the target spaces in the human genome specifically for protein and peptide drugs.Compared with other proteins,both suc-cessful protein and peptide drug targets have many special characteristics,and are also significantly different from those of small-molecule drugs in many aspects.Based on these features,we develop separate effective genome-wide target prediction models for protein and peptide drugs.Finally,a user-friendly web server,Predictor Of Protein and Peptide drugs'therapeutic Targets(POPPIT)(http://poppit.ncpsb.org.cn/),is established,which provides not only target prediction specifically for protein and peptide drugs but also abundant annotations for predicted targets.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of hospital-and community-acquired pathogens collected from 10 teaching hospitals located at different areas in China in 2006.METHODS According to the study protocol,the strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae,meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA),Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected and sent to the central lab for reidentification and susceptibility testing.The minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of antimicrobial agents against Str.pneumoniae were determined by Etest method and MICs of antimicrobial agents against S.aureus,E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains were determined by agar dilution method.WHONET5.4 software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS Among 353 Str.pneumoniae strains,74.2% were penicillin-susceptible(PSSP),9.6% were penicillin-intermediate(PISP) and 16.2% were penicillin-resistant(PRSP).Strains from different hospitals showed different sensitivity to penicillin.Among ?-lactam antibiotics,cefuroxime showed the lowest susceptibility rate of 0%(for PRSP) to 76.7%(for PSSP).The susceptibility rate to ceftriaxone and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was 98.1% and 98.9% in PSSP group,61.8% and 64.7% in PISP group,and 15.8% and 10.5% in PRSP group.The ESBLs rate was 56.2% among 267 Escherichia strains and 42.7% among 206 K.pneumoniae strains.For ESBLs-producing strains,the susceptibility rates to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone were low and the rate to ceftazidime was relatively high among ?-lactam antibiotics.73.4% MSSA strains produced ?-lactamase.?-Lactam antibiotics tested showed high susceptibility against MSSA strains.The susceptibility rate was 98.9-100%.The susceptibility rate to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin was 80.8% and 88.1%,separately.CONCLUSIONS Fluoroquinolones show high susceptibility against Str.pneumoniae.Ceftriaxone and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid have relatively high susceptibility among ?-lactams.For MSSA and non-ESBLs-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains,?-lactams show high susceptibility.For ESBLs-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains,the susceptibility rates to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone are low and that to ceftazidime,cefepime and cefoperazone-sulbactam are relatively high.
