Background and purpose:Resistance to antitumor agents is a major cause of treatment failure in patients with breast cancer. Research has shown that, tumor stem cell marker aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) is related with some anticancer drugs (such as cyclophosphamide, cisplatin) resistance, and the content of ALDH1 in tumor cells after treatment is higher than that before treatment. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is not expressed in normal tissues, but high expressed in breast cancer of after treatment, it may be associated with the mechanism of tumor drug resistance. This study was to investigate the correlation between expression and the relationship between these two kinds of protein ALDH1, BCRP and clinical pathological characteristics. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of ALDH1 and BCRP in breast inifltrating ductal carcinoma tissues, and whether there is a correlation between and explore their relationship with clinical pathological features and their expression. Results:The expression of ALDH1 protein and BCRP protein in breast cancer and paracarcinoma breast tissues has signiifcant difference(χ2=14.685, P=0.000;χ2=12.243, P=0.000).The expression of ALDH1 with patients age, pathologic stage, axillary lymph node metastasis, histological grading, ER, PR, and HER-2 state were not relevant(P>0.05). HER-2, BCRP protein, expression was higher in cancer tissue (χ2=5.289, P=0.021). There were no relevant with the expression of BCRP with patients age, pathologic stage, axillary lymph node metastasis and histological grading, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2) (P>0.05). Conclusion:ALDH1 proteins may be an independent factor compared with occur drug resistant protein, and participate breast cancer drug resistance in the chemotherapy and tumor invasion and metastasis of malignant biological behavior.

Objective To study the expression of Rho kinase and its functional activation in lung tissue from hypoxic pulmonary hypertension(HPH) rat model,and the effects of fasudil on HPH.Methods Seventy-two male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group,hypoxic model group,and fasudil-intervention group[group with hypoxia and fasudil for 15 mg/(kg?d)],respectively.Mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP) and right ventricle hypertrophy index(RVHI) were measured.Expression of Rho kinase mRNA and protein were examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Western blot,respectively.The phosphorylation of binding subunit of myosin phosphatase(MBS)-a substrate of Rho kinase was detected by Western blot and defined,as the mark of functional activation of the kinase.Results The expression of Rho kinase mRNA in hypoxic model group was markedly upregulated even before the onset of the third day after the experiment(HPH),and it was much lower in rats of fasudil group than that of hypoxic model group.The phosphorylation of MBS was significantly higher in hypoxic model group than that in control group,and it was positively correlated with the mPAP and RVHI(all P

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate (PKEP) and suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy (SPP) in the treatment of large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of eighty patients with large volume BPH were selected in the First People''s Hospital of Xuzhou from March 2014 to December 2016,and they were randomly divided into two groups,the PKEP group and SPP group,with 40 cases in each group.The comparison was made between the two groups in terms of operation indicators,postoperative complications followed up for 6 months after surgery and other related curative effect indexes.Results In the SPP group,the intraoperative blood loss was significantly higher than that of the PKEP group ((215.7±10.4) ml vs.(75.6±9.2) ml,t=6.541,P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation time and excised gland volume (P>0.05).But the catheterization time after operation,bladder irrigation time and length of hospital stay were significantly longer in the PKEP group than in the SPP group ((6.3±1.8) d vs.(2.4±0.6) d,(5.5±1.4) d vs.(1.3±0.6) d,(7.7±2.3) d vs.(3.1±0.7) d,t=4.357,2.542,2.975,P<0.05);in the 6-month follow-ups after operation,IPSS,Qmax,PVR and QOL were all significantly improved in both groups compared with the indexes collected before the operation (P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).The rate of complication occurrence in the PKEP group were lower than that of the SPP group (P<0.05).Conclusion PKEP was effective in the treatment of BPH,with less bleeding loss,fewer complications and quick recovery.It can significantly improve the life quality of the patients and will be an ideal treatment for large volume BPH.

Objective:
To detect the values of CT texture features in the preoperative prediction of Fuhrman grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Methods:
The CT data of 206 patients with ccRCC admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2011 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, and the ccRCC cases were graded using Fuhrman grading system, including 38 cases of Grade Ⅰ, 107 cases of Grade Ⅱ, 50 cases of Grade Ⅲ and 11 cases of Grade Ⅳ. All subjects undergone plain and enhancement CT scans. There were two methods used for the extraction of texture features, including histogram (2 features: Kurtosis and Skewness) and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (6 features: Contrast, Correlation, Energy, Entropy, Homogeneity and Variance). Each texture feature during Grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ was compared using a one-way analysis of variance following the log-ratio transformation, and a Newman-Keuls test was performed for all pairwise comparisons. An independent sample

1H NMR metabonomics approach was used to reveal the chemical difference of urine between patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome (XCHTS) and healthy participants (HP). The partial least square method was used to establish a model to distinguish the patients with Xiao-Chaihu-Tang syndrome from the healthy controls. Thirty-four endogenous metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectrum, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis showed the urine of patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome and healthy participants could be separated clearly. It is indicated that the metabolic profiling of patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome was changed obviously. Fifteen metabolites were found by S-pot of OPLS-DA and VIP value. The contents of leucine, formic acid, glycine, hippuric acid and uracil increased in the urine of patients, while threonine, 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, acetamide, 2-oxoglutarate, citric acid, dimethylamine, malonic acid, betaine, trimethylamine oxide, phenylacetyl glycine, and uridine decreased. These metabolites involve the intestinal microbial balance, energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism pathways, which is related with the major symptom of Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome. The patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome could be identified and predicted correctly using the established partial least squares model. This study could be served as the basis for the accurate diagnostic and reasonable administration of Xiao-Chaihu-Tang syndrome.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the change and influence factors of quality of life QOL for drug abusers who accepted methadone maintenance treatment (MMT).
METHODS:
The questionnaire of QOL-BRIEF was used to measure the level of QQL when patients just entered the study and 6 months after the treatment respectively. The effect of therapy and characteristic of patients on change of QOL was analyzed.
RESULTS:
The scores in physiological domain, psychological domain, and the total score obviously increased after the treatment. There was no significant difference in the change of QOL between the patients of different dose groups. The QOLs of males and patients with long-time drug use improved significantly after the treatment.
CONCLUSION
MMT can raise the QOL of drug abusers. Gender and time of drug use may be the risk factors of QOL improvement.
