Objective To discuss the application of ultrasound multimodal diagnostic mode combined with ultrasonic precision interventional technology in differentiating the benign from malignant solid breast masses.Methods A total of 396 patients who underwent breast surgery at the Wuwei Cancer Hospital of China from May 2021 to July 2023 were enrolled in this study.Within 2 weeks before surgery,multimodal ultrasound examination(including two-dimensional ultrasound,color Doppler ultrasound,elastic ultrasound,breast three-dimensional ultrasound,and contrast-enhanced ultrasound)and ultrasound-guided needle biopsy were performed in all patients.The consistency between the results of multimodal ultrasound examination,ultrasound-guided needle biopsy,combination diagnosis and the postoperative pathological diagnoses was analyzed.Results Of the 396 patients with solid breast mass,malignant lesion was seen in 237(59.85％)and benign lesion was seen in 159(40.15％).The sensitivity of multimodal ultrasound in diagnosing benign and malignant solid breast masses was 77.64％(184/237),the specificity was 90.57％(144/159),the positive predictive value was 92.46％(184/199),the negative predictive value was 73.10％(144/197),the accuracy was 82.83％(328/396),and the consistency with the postoperative pathological diagnosis was 0.656.The sensitivity of ultrasound-guided needle puncture in diagnosing benign and malignant solid breast masses was 94.51％(224/237),the specificity was 100.00％(159/159),the positive predictive value was 100.00％(224/224),the negative predictive value was 92.44％(159/172),the accuracy was 96.72％(383/396),and the consistency with the postoperative pathological diagnosis was 0.933.The sensitivity of multimodal ultrasound combined with ultrasound-guided needle puncture in diagnosing benign and malignant solid breast masses was 100.00％(228/228),the specificity was 94.64％(159/168),the positive predictive value was 96.20％(228/237),the negative predictive value was 100.00％(159/159),the accuracy was 97.73％(387/396),and the consistency with the postoperative pathological diagnosis was 0.937.Conclusion The ultrasound multimodal diagnostic mode and ultrasonic precision interventional technology can be used in differentiating the benign from malignant solid breast masses with high diagnostic accuracy.

Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of asiatic acid(AA)on the apoptosis of HT-22 cells induced by sevoflurane(SEVO)by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT)signaling pathway.Methods Different concentrations of AA(0,5,10,15,20,30 μmol/L)were used to treat HT-22 cells induced by sevoflurane for 24 hours,and CCK-8 was used to detect HT-22 cell viability;HT-22 cells were divided into control group,sevoflurane(SEVO)group,AA low concentration(AA-L,10 μmol/L)group,AA medium concentration(AA-M,15 μmol/L)group,AA high concentration(AA-H,20 μmol/L)group,and AA high concentration+PI13K pathway inhibitor LY294002(AA-H+LY294002,20 μmol/L AA+5 μmol/L LY294002)group.Inverted microscopy was applied to observe changes of cell morphology,ELISA was applied to detect the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6,oxidative stress indicators SOD,GSH-Px,and MDA,ROS detection kit was applied to detect ROS levels,TUNEL kit was applied to detect HT-22 apoptosis,JC-1 method was applied to detect mitochondrial membrane potential,ATP content detection kit was applied to detect ATP content,and Western blot was applied to detect the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,Caspase-3,p-PI3K,PI3K,p-AKT,and AKT proteins.Results Compared with 0 μmol/L,the activity of HT-22 cells treated with 5-30 μmol/L AA increased in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.05),concentrations of 10 μmol/L,15 μmol/L,and 20 μmol/L of AA were selected for subsequent experiments.Compared with the SEVO group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,ROS,cell apoptosis rate,and expressions of Bax and Caspase-3 proteins in the AA-L,AA-M,and AA-H groups were reduced,the levels of SOD and GSH-Px,red/green JC-1 fluorescence ratio,content of ATP,the expression of Bcl-2 protein,the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and AKT were increased(P<0.05),and were concentration dependent.LY294002 was able to reverse the protective effect of AA on HT-22 cell damage induced by sevoflurane(P<0.05).Conclusion AA protects HT-22 cells from damage induced by sevoflurane by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,which provides a theoretical reference for the development of novel drugs to reduce sevofluran-induced neurotoxicity.

Objective To explore the associations between polymorphisms in CYP24A1 gene and the risk and prognosis of colorectal cancer ( CRC) .Methods A case-control study consisting of 528 CRC patients and 605 cancer free controls and a follow up study with 317 cases were conducted to explore the associations be-tween two polymorphisms in CYP24A1 and the risk and prognosis of CRC,as well as the combinations and inter-actions of polymorphisms with dietary factors on CRC risk.Results Although there was no association between polymorphisms in CYP24A1 and the risk of CRC,significant combinative effects between polymorphisms and diet-ary factors on CRC risk were observed.For Rs4809957 polymorphism,the prognosis of AA genotype carriers was worse than GG/GA carriers in CRC,colon cancer and rectal cancer(Log-rank test P=0.01,P=0.01,P=0.02,respectively).Compared with GG genotype,AA genotype carriers of Rs4809957 polymorphism had worse prognosis in CRC(HR =2.35,95%CI =1.28~4.30),colon caner(HR =2.37,95% CI =1.09~5.14) and rectal cancer(HR =2.11,95% CI =1.11~4.01).Conclusion The combinations of the polymorphisms in CYP24A1 gene with dietary factors are associated with the susceptibility of CRC,and Rs4809957 polymorphism may lead to a worse prognosis of CRC.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of CD 4+CD25+/high CD127 low/-and CD14+HLA-DRlow/-for evaluating the severity of acute pancreatitis .Methods The percentages of CD4+CD25+/highCD127low/-and CD14+HLA-DRlow/-and the CD64 index were measured by flow cytometry in pa-tients with acute pancreatitis ( including 43 cases of mild acute pancreatitis and 24 cases of severe acute pan-creatitis).Moreover, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ( APACHEⅡ) score and CT severity index ( CTSI ) were detected for a correlation analysis .Results The percentages of CD4+CD25+/highCD127low/-and CD14+HLA-DRlow/-and the CD64 index in patients with severe and mild acute pancreatitis were significantly higher than those in healthy subjects .Patients with se-vere acute pancreatitis showed higher percentages of CD 14+HLA-DRlow/-than patients with mild acute pan-creatitis.With the disease progression, the CD64 index and the levels of CD4+CD25+/highCD127low/-, CD14+HLA-DRlow/-and CRP were significantly dropped after an initial increase in patients with mild acute pancrea -titis, while these indexes were continuously elevated in patients with severe acute pancreatitis .The percent-age of CD14+HLA-DRlow/-was positively correlated with CD64 index, CRP level, APACHEⅡ score and CTSI.Conclusion CD14+HLA-DRlow/-level was closely related to the severity of acute pancreatitis , which could be used as immune parameter for the estimation of the clinical severity of acute pancreatitis .

Directive 2004/24/EC of the European Parliament and the Council entered into force on April 30th, 2004. After 7 years, there is no Chinese medicine to be registered successfully in European market as traditional herbal medicinal products. The thesis gives some ideas to tackle this problem. Procedure for the Preparation of Community Monographs for Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (EMEA/HMPC/182320/2005) published by European Medicines Agency is an important guidance for traditional herbal products to enter European Community monographs. The thesis introduces and details the procedure as well as gives feasible suggestions about the procedure. It suggests that Chinese medicines enter European Community monographs first, and then apply the registration according to the directive 2004/24/EC. This is an easier access to European market.

A new nylon affinity matrix with L-tryptoph ane as ligand was prepared for adsorption of bovine γ-globulin. Effects of tem perature, ionic strength and pH on affinity adsorption of γ-globulin on affinity membrane were studied by batch method. The results show that the interaction between ligand and γ-globulin includes mainly electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction. The affinity adsorption at optimum condition obeys Langmuir adsorption model with maximum adsorption capacity and minimum nonspecific adsorption. The space location between protein and ligand and the configuration of proteins wi ll change when deviating from this condition.
