Objective To evaluate the expression of WWOX gene in breast cancer and its relation to hypermethylation of WWOX gene CpG island. Methods The expression of WWOX protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining in breast cancer cell line and breast cancer tissues.Methylation specific PCR(MSP)was used to check whether it Was methylated in the promoter and exon 1 of WWOX.Results Deletion in the WWOX expression was observed more frequently in invasive breast tumors,(32.2%)than normal breasttissues(5.4%)(P<0.01).20.3% of premenopause eases were completely negative for WWOX expression compared to 57.2% of postmenopause breast carcinomas(P<0.01).Furthermore,23.1% of Stage Ⅰ(6/26),28.6%of Stage Ⅱ(10/35),46.2%of Stage Ⅲ(12/26)tunlors showed negative WWOX protein expression.In breast cancer specimens.methylation rate of promoter and exon 1 CpG island of WWOX gene was 55%and 45%respectively.Whereas.WWOX CpG islands of normal mammary tissues were completely unmethylated in all cases.CpG islands of WWOX promoter and exon 1 were methylated in MDA-MB-231 cell line but not MCF-7 cell.Conclusions Some deletion in WWOX expression is common in breast cancer and methylation of WWOX DNA CpG islands plays a crucial role in the silence of WWOX.WWOX may play a role in the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer.

Objective To determine the diagnostic value and clinical significance of sonographically detected fetal dysplastic kidney with normal amniotic fluid volume. Methods At the 2nd or 3rd trimester of gestation,the fetuses with unilateral or bilateral renal anomalies (ahnormal size,echo,shape or cyst of the kidney) and normal amniotic fluid volume received systemic ultrasound examination,autopsy or follow-up until after birth. The fetus with only dilated renal pelvis was not included. Results Eleven fetuses of dysplastic renal anomalies with normal amniotic fluid volume were identified by prenatal ultrasound. Among the five fetuses affected by unilateral multicystic kidney dysplasia (MCKD),the renal anomaly was isolated in four fetuses,and the other one was complicated with absence of the ipsilateral hand. One of the two fetuses of unilateral renal agenesis had no other associated anomaly and the other one was complicated with hydrocephalus,spina bifida,ipsilateral absent radius and single umbilical artery,correspongding to the VACTERL syndrome. Two fetuses of pelvic kidney and horseshoe kidney respectively was proved by postnatal ultrasound. One fetus was diagnosed as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD)on the basis of multiple renal cysts and a positive family history,the fetus also had cardiac rhabdomyoma. One fetus of bilateral normal sized hyperechoic kidneys was proved to be renal dysplasia by autopsy. Conclusions Unilateral MCKD is the most common type of fetal renal dysplasia which can be detected by prenatal ultrasound with normal amniotic fluid volume. Based on the sonographic characteristics and the family history,most of the dysplastic renal anomalies can be diagnosed prenatally and the prognosis can be predicted.

Objective:To establish Chinese grading standards for elderly disability and dementia, in accordance with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health(ICF)items, and to develop visual assessment tools that can be easily understood by patients, family members, and health workers.The aim is to verify the reliability and validity of these tools.Methods:In this study, we established five categories of elderly disability classification, along with corresponding ICF items and visual evaluation tools.The appropriateness and compatibility of the tools were assessed using questionnaires, which included illustrations, GIF dynamic pictures, and ICF items.Correlation analysis was conducted to screen the items, and the validity of the visual evaluation tools was determined through a picture-text matching validity test.Reliability was evaluated using internal consistency or test-retest reliability, and validity was assessed through content validity.Results:Each grade of disability was initially divided into five levels.However, after expert consultations and classification revision, each level was ultimately simplified into four levels with clearer descriptions.The Pearson correlation coefficients between all items and the total scores of each part were found to exceed 0.3, and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The average and mode of the illustrations and GIF dynamic pictures, when matched with related descriptions, were both above 3, with consistency rates surpassing 50%.Statistical differences were observed in eight items between the two visual assessment tools.The Cronbach's α coefficients, which reflect internal consistency, were all above 0.60.The intra-group correlation coefficients, which indicate test-retest reliability, were all greater than 0.70.The content validity index of the questionnaire at the overall level was above 0.90, while the item-level content validity index was more than 0.78. Conclusions:The Chinese grading standards for elderly disability and dementia, which are aligned with the ICF, have been preliminarily established.Visual assessment tools have also been developed, which demonstrate good reliability and validity.Among the two visual assessment tools, GIF dynamic pictures were found to be more popular and easier to understand.

Objective:To investigate the change of the detection rate of colorectal cancer (CRC), colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma in adults under colonoscopy in Shihezi in the past ten years.Methods:Data of patients who completed colonoscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019 were investigated. The medical records were collected by consulting the electronic medical record system, including the age and sex of patients and the location, quantity, size and pathological type of lesions. The detection rates, including the overall detection rate in the past 10 years, those in the first 5 years (from 2010 to 2014) and the second 5 years (from 2015 to 2019) of colorectal adenomas, advanced colorectal adenomas and CRC, were studied.Results:A total of 50 645 cases were included, 14 931 cases were excluded by the exclusion criteria, and finally a total of 35 714 cases were included in the data analysis. The 10-year overall detection rates of colorectal adenoma, advanced colorectal adenoma and CRC were 17.65% (6 302/35 714), 4.45% (1 589/35 714) and 3.71% (1 324/35 714), respectively. The overall detection rates of colorectal adenoma and advanced colorectal adenoma in the second 5 years were higher respectively than those in the first 5 years [20.33% (4 565/22 457) VS 13.10% (1 737/13 257), 4.69% (1 053/22 457) VS 4.04% (536/13 257)]. The overall detection rate of CRC in the second 5 years [3.30% (741/22 457)] was lower than that in the first 5 years [4.40% (583/13 257)].Conclusion:Compared with 2010 to 2014, the detection rate of colorectal adenoma in Shihezi area in 2015 to 2019 increased significantly, the detection rate of advanced colorectal adenoma increased slightly, and the detection rate of CRC decreased slightly. Therefore, the detection and resection of colorectal adenoma by colonoscopy may be important in reducing the incidence of CRC.
