The utility of circulating tumor cells in breast cancer has been paid more attention. There are many clinical trials all over the world which concerned the whole course of breast cancer. Although the value of detecting circulating tumor cells is different at each stage of breast cancer, the advantage is significant compared with traditional methods in monitoring and evaluating diseases status. Nowadays the treatments of breast cancer are classiifed and individualized, it is possible to ifnd the most timely and optimized regimens after detecting the amount and characteristics of circulating tumor cells.

To solve the problems in the illumination of the portable video monocular telescope for near-obser-vation. Some luminous lamp head and reflective lamp head were customerized for the telescope, and the lumi-nous lamp head was postpositively mounted at the side of the ocular lens, which or the reflective lamp head could be prepositively mounted at the side of the object lens. A wound pit on fresh pitaya was observed using portable video monocular telescope for near-observation equipped with illumination device or not. Luminous lamp head and re-flective lamp head custom-made was able to mount easily and gave the target ample illumination. Portable video monocular telescope for near-observation can be easily and cheaply equipped with luminous device giving ample il-lumination.

Objective To analyze the clinical value of chemotherapy combined with endocine therapy after standard treatment failure for advanced metastatic breast cancer.Methods 30 metastatic breast cancer patients after standard treatment failure were analyzed.Etoposide (75-100 mg/d) wasused on days 1-10,followed by 11 days of rest combined with medroxyprogesterone 0.5 g,twice per day,or megestrol 160 mg/d for 21 days.Clinical effects and life quility were analysed.Results The median treatment line of this therapy was 6 (range 3-9).The clinical benefit rate is 16.7 ％ (5/30),and the median progression free survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (range 1.0-13.0 months).Conclusion The combination of chemotherapy (etoposide) and endocrine therapy (progesterone) is a choice of treatment after standard drug failure for advanced mastatic breast cancer patients.

The rigorous randomized clinical trials and qualified real world evidence have improved the domestic standardized diagnosis and therapy. Meanwhile, the recent consensus and guideline integrated with Chinese realities have also promoted the breast cancer therapy. To expound our views and to provide suggestions for the revision of breast cancer guideline of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, we select ten hot issues to discuss with our experience.

Although circulating tumor cells(CTCs) have long been identified,it was not until the approval of CellSearch? system that CTCs are current lyunder in?depth investigation.The CTCs technology has advanced from simple cell counting into era of molecular subtyping. The development of sequencing technologies and liquid biopsy has made it possible to sequence single cell genomes. In the recent years, how to take advantage of CTCs as a useful tool to clarify the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and cancer development and to predict the patient survival have become a hot issue.

Artificial intelligence clinical decision-support system is an important direction of artificial intelligence in the medical field. Both international and domestic researchers are exploring the application value of intelligent decision-making system in the field of cancer. But at the same time of the craze, there are still some problems in the intelligent decision-making system. Combining the work of the research groups in this field, this paper explores the current confusions and solutions, and hopes to help clinicians better understand intelligent decision-making. It is believed that with the deepening of the concept and the advancement of technology, intelligent decision-making will become a good help for doctors in the future.

In the past two decades, with the introduction of NCCN guidelines, the establishment of a standardized diagnosis and treatment system for breast cancer had begun. The Chinese version of the NCCN guidelines, which combines international standards and Chinese characteristics, was then developed to guide clinical practice. Since 2011, Chinese experts have entered St. Gallen International Expert Consensus Group, and to introduce the latest therapy concepts. On this basis, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology has developed guidelines for diagnosis and treatment in line with product accessibility and expert opinions to help clinicians choose the best treatment option. The latest Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Guideline will further contribute to the establishment of a standardized diagnosis and treatment system for breast cancer.

Objective To observe the effect of Shenghui Granule on EC and CA1 regions of scopolamine-induced dementia rats and explore its mechanism based on p38 MAPK signal pathway.Methods 40 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups(blank group,model group,Shenghui granule group,donepezil group),and were treated with scopolamine.Morris water maze and open field test were used to evaluate the cognition and anxiety behavior of rats.The nerve injury of EC and CA1 was observed by HE staining.The activity of neurons in EC and CA1 regions was observed by c-Fos immunofluorescence staining.Western blot was used to detect p38 MAPK pathway related proteins.Results The behavioral experiment found that Shenghui Granule could improve the cognitive impairment and anxiety-like behavior of AD model rats.The results of HE staining showed that Shenghui granules had protective effects on EC and CA1 regions.The results of c-Fos immunofluorescence staining showed that Shenghui granules could increase the activity of neurons in EC and CA1 regions.Western blot results showed that Shenghui Granule could down-regulate the expression of Bax,reduce the levels of phosphorylated p38 and Tau,and increase the expression of Bcl-2.Conclusion Shenghui granule has protective effect on EC and CA1 regions of AD model rats,and may play a therapeutic role through p38 MAPK signal pathway.

Emerging research suggests a potential association of progression of Alzheimer's disease(AD)with al-terations in synaptic currents and mitochondrial dynamics.However,the specific associations between these pathological changes remain unclear.In this study,we utilized Aβ42-induced AD rats and primary neural cells as in vivo and in vitro models.The investigations included behavioural tests,brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)analysis,Nissl staining,thioflavin-S staining,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,Golgi-Cox staining,trans-mission electron microscopy(TEM),immunofluorescence staining,proteomics,adenosine triphosphate(ATP)detection,mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)assess-ment,mitochondrial morphology analysis,electrophysiological studies,Western blotting,and molecular docking.The results revealed changes in synaptic currents,mitophagy,and mitochondrial dynamics in the AD models.Remarkably,intervention with Dengzhan Shengmai(DZSM)capsules emerged as a pivotal element in this investigation.Aβ42-induced synaptic dysfunction was significantly mitigated by DZSM intervention,which notably amplified the frequency and amplitude of synaptic transmission.The cognitive impairment observed in AD rats was ameliorated and accompanied by robust protection against structural damage in key brain regions,including the hippocampal CA3,primary cingular cortex,prelimbic system,and dysgranular insular cortex.DZSM intervention led to increased IDE levels,augmented long-term potential(LTP)amplitude,and enhanced dendritic spine density and length.Moreover,DZSM intervention led to favourable changes in mitochondrial parameters,including ROS expression,MMP and ATP contents,and mitochondrial morphology.In conclusion,our findings delved into the realm of altered synaptic currents,mitophagy,and mitochondrial dynamics in AD,concurrently highlighting the therapeutic potential of DZSM intervention.
