Objective To explore and evaluate the clinical value of MRI for status of axillary lymph node after neoadju-vant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer. Methods Forty-four patients with 1ocally advanced breast cancer (LABC) were underwent NAC for four cycles. The longest diameter of axillary lymph node (ALN) measured by MRI scan. Val-ue of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and their correlation were compared before NAC and four cycles after NAC. Re-sults of MRI and pathological data for ALN were compared between two groups of patients. Results All patients finished four cycles of NAC. The total response rate (CR+PR) was 72.7% (32/44), and the total non-response rate (SD+PD) was 27.3%(12/44). The longest diameter of ALN was significantly shortened in response group. The longest diameter was (1.37± 1.06) cm before NAC and (0.90±0.76) cm after NAC (P<0.01). The ADC value of the tumor was significantly increased in re-sponse group [(0.91±0.28) ×10-3 mm2/s before NAC and (1.01±0.32)×10-3 mm2/s after NAC, P<0.01)]. There was no signifi-cant correlation between ADC value change (△ADC) and the longest diameter change of ALN (△L, r=0.131, P=0.413). The sensitivity, specificity and Kappa value of ALN evaluation after NAC were 100%, 62.5%and 0.68 measured by MRI. Con-clusion The change of tumor longest diameter reflects the effect of chemotherapy directly. The tumor ADC value of MRI can not be used as an independent indicator of chemotherapy effect of ALN, eventhouth MRI was the sensitive index for eval-uating the status of axillary lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

This article was aimed to observe the preventive effect of diabetes with atherosclerosis (AS) treated with Bie-Jia-Jian Pill (BJJP) on level of blood lipids, endothelin (ET), nitric oxide (NO), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were the blank group, model group, low-dose BJJP group, high-dose BJJP group and Xue-zhi-kang (XZK) group, to observe changes on the level of blood lipids, ET-1, NO and MMP-9 within 5 groups after 8-week administration. The results showed that compared with the blank group, the level of the content of NO in the model group was significantly decreased (P< 0.05), the level of ET-1 was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the high-dose and low-dose BJJP group as well as XZK group can significantly decrease the level of ET-1 (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01), increase content of NO (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01), and decrease the expression of MMP-9 (P< 0.05). It was concluded that the BJJP can regulate blood lipids, protect endothelial cell of blood vessels, stabilize plaques for the anti-AS effect.

Objective To explore the relationship between peripheral differential blood count and ATP value in Cell CD4 + T tested by ImmuKnow method in liver transplants. Methods In this study 49recipients after classic orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were enrolled. In a period from two weeks to two months after transplantation when all were free of glucocorticoid. Blood were sent for WBC differential samples count and ATP value in Cell-CD4 + T tested by ImmuKnow method via SPSS17. 0 software. Five more samples were selected randomly for duplicated testing of the indices in Week2, 3, 4,6 and 8 after the transplanting operation to further verify the relativity. Results White blood cell count has the highest relativity with ImmuKnow ATP value at 0. 821. The 5 recipients were repeatedly tested for ImmuKnow ATP values that were found positively correlated to cell count with a coefficient of over 0. 5. Conclusions The peripheral leukocyte count in early stage after liver transplantation is in positive correlation with ATP value in Cell CD4 + T, and the changes of numeration of leukocyte reflect changes of ATP value.

As the major commercial source of natural rubber,Hevea brasiliensis attracts much attention.However,the heterozygous nature,long breeding cycle are strong limitations for conventional breeding.While genetic engineering,which can be used to widen the germplasm base and produce desirable agronomic traits quickly and efficiently,offers a viable alternative approach to complement traditional breeding.Comprehensive analysis indicates that in the past two decades,with calli derived from immature anther or integumental tissues of immature fruit as receptors,both biolistic and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods were employed for developping rubber genotypes with improved latex yield,tolerance to tapping panel dryness syndrome,producing high-value recombinant proteins,etc.Being recalcitrant to tissue culture,the transformation efficiency of Hevea is comparatively low,and the procedures are still needed to optimize.Finally,breeding objectives and strategies to improve transformation efficiency were also proposed in the review.

Objective :
To investigate the AIDS-related knowledge and behaviors and health service demand among secondary vocational school students in Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the HIV/AIDS health education and behavioral interventions among secondary vocational school students.
Methods :
Three secondary vocational schools were randomly sampled in Shanghai Municipality using a stratified cluster sampling method from September to November in 2019, and grade was stratified in each school. Then, a class was sampled from each grade, and all students in this class were sampled. Participants' demographics, AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviors, and health service needs for AIDS control were collected using questionnaires and descriptively analyzed.
Results :
Totally 2 078 questionnaires were allocated, and 2 022 questionnaires were recovered, including 2 013 valid questionnaires (99.55%). The respondents had a median age of 16 years (interquartile range, 2 years), and included 1 366 men (67.86%). A low awareness rate was found for “Self-testing may understand HIV/AIDS infection status” (40.83%) and “Mosquito bites fail to transmit HIV” (37.95%). There were 182 respondents with sexual behaviors (9.04%), including 47 respondents with use of condoms during each sexual behaviors (25.82%), 20 respondents with multiple sexual partner behaviors simultaneously (10.99%), and 21 respondents that had received HIV testing (11.54%). There were 807 respondents with questions about sex and reproductive health (40.09%), and 852 respondents that wished to acquire answers from professional network platforms and professionals (42.32%).
Conclusions
The awareness of HIV/AIDS transmission route and use of condoms is low among secondary vocational students in Shanghai Municipality, and there are high-risk behaviors for HIV/AIDS among students. The secondary vocational school students are most eager to obtain the answers from professional institutions and professionals if there are questions about sex and reproductive health.

Objective To explore the possibility of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and epidermal growth factor(EGF)combined with striatal conditioned medium promoting the directional differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs)into dopaminergie neurons.Methods 1.Separation and culture of BMMSCs:BMMSCs were harvested from healthy adult Wistar rats for serial subcultivation.2.Preparation of Striatal conditioned medium:newborn Wistar rats within 24 hours were selected,and their brain tissues were removed to prepare striatal conditioned medium.3.Induced differentiation of BMMSCs:the 5th passage BMMSCs were collected and pre-induced in low glucose-Dulbecco's modified eagle medium(L-DMEM)containing bFGF and EGF.Twenty-four hours later,pre-induction liquor was replaced with striatal conditioned medium for further induced differentiation.4.Result assessment:the morphological changes of stem cells were observed under inverted phase microscope.The expression of neuron specific enolage(NSE)and tyrosine hydmxylage(TH)were identified by immunocytochemical technique.Results The cell body of rat BMMSCs contracted into round and spindle shape after induction by bFGF and EGF combined with striatal conditioned medium.Partial neuron-like cells with prominence could be found.Immunocytochemieal detection showed that the percentages of NSE and TH positive cells were(72.70±14.81)% and(34.50±15.93)%,respectively.Conclusion BMMSCs can be induced directionally into dopaminergiC neurons by bFGF and EGF combined with striatal conditioned medium in vitro.
