Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound in pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) under different breast ultrasound background echotextures.Methods:The ultrasonic images of 269 female patients with breast diseases who underwent breast surgery in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2016 to September 2023 and were pregnant or within one year postpartum at the time of onset were retrospectively reviewed. Breast ultrasound background echotextures were classified according to two criteria: the first classification was homogeneous-fat, homogeneous-fibroglandular, and heterogeneous; the other classification was hypoechoic dominated and hyperechoic dominated. The comparison of the diagnostic value of ultrasound in PABC under different backgrounds was conducted by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves.Results:Among 269 patients, 67 patients(24.91%)were during pregnancy and 202 patients(75.09%) were within one year postpartum. Pathologically, 47 patients (17.47%) were confirmed as benign, 222 patients (82.53%) were malignant. According to the first classification, 138 patients were homogeneous-fibroglandular and 131 patients were heterogeneous, with the diagnostic sensitivity of ultrasound in PABC were 88.70% and 59.81% respectively, and the specificity were 91.30% and 83.33% respectively, the areas under the ROC curves were 0.940 and 0.826 respectively ( P=0.022). According to the second classification, 119 were hypoechoic dominated and 150 patients were hyperechoic dominated, the sensitivity were 60.21% and 85.27% respectively, the specificity 84.62% and 90.48% respectively, the areas under the ROC curves were 0.826 and 0.925 ( P=0.042). Conclusions:The heterogeneous background echotextures of the breast may cause decrease of the diagnostic efficiency of ultrasound in PABC, and hypoechoic dominated background was more unfavorable for the diagnosis of PABC compared to the hyperechoic dominated background.

Objective This study investigated the protective effects of Corni Fructus ethanol extract on β-amyloid protein 25-35 (Aβ25-35)-induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice by regulating histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) / postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) on synapses and neuroinflammation. Methods Specifically, according to the body weight, 40 C57BL/6N mice were randomized into four groups: the sham operation group, the model group, the low-dose (0.1mg/g) and the high-dose (0.3 mg/g) Corni Fructus ethanol extract groups. Aβ25-35 was injected into the hippocampus of mice in three groups except for the sham operation group to established AD model. All mice were orally administered with either Corni Fructus ethanol extract or vehicle by gavage for 7 days before molding and continued 5 days after surgery for a total of 60 days. Morris water maze, Y maze and open field tests were performed to evaluate the recognition memory and space exploration ability of mice. The expression of LSD1, PSD95, synaptophysin (SYN), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and H3K9me2 level were measured by Western blotting. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) combined with qPCR was used to detect H3K9me2 modification of PSD95 promoter region and mRNA levels of PSD95. The correlation between the expression of H3K9me2 and PSD95 and the expression of IBA1 in the hippocampus were detected by immunofluorescence assay.Results The result showed that Corni Fructus ethanol extract significantly reversed Aβ25-35-induced learning and memory impairment in AD mice. Compared with the model group, Corni Fructus ethanol extract demonstrated shorter escape latency, increased number and time of autonomous activities and the rate of autonomous alternation. Moreover, it increased the expression of LSD1 in hippocampus of AD mice(P<0.05), and reduced H3K9me2 modification level in the promoter region of PSD95 gene, and then promoted the mRNA transcription and protein expression of PSD95. Immunofluorescence staining indicated the reduction of H3K9me2 modification level in hippocampus was accompanied by the enhancement of PSD95 expression. Corni Fructus ethanol extract could also inhibit the activation of microglia and reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α.Conclusion Corni Fructus ethanol extract may regulate PSD95 gene transcription by up-regulating the expression of LSD1 and reducing the H3K9me2 modification level in its promoter region, thereby increasing the expression of PSD95, a key protein in synaptic plasticity regulation, which alleviate neuroinflammatory response, improve learning and memory dysfunction in AD model mice, and thus play a protective role in Aβ25-35-induced nerve damage.

Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a highly conserved multifunctional protein localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is secreted through exosomes and its degradation is associated with the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Its structure contains three α-helices and eleven β-strands, and features a helical hairpin as its hallmark. TCTP shows a remarkable similarity to the methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B (MsrB) and mammalian suppressor of Sec4 (Mss4/Dss4) protein families, which exerts guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity on small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) proteins, suggesting that some functions of TCTP may at least depend on its GEF action. Indeed, TCTP exerts GEF activity on Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb) to boost the growth and proliferation of Drosophila cells. TCTP also enhances the expression of cell division control protein 42 homolog (Cdc42) to promote cancer cell invasion and migration. Moreover, TCTP regulates cytoskeleton organization by interacting with actin microfilament (MF) and microtubule (MT) proteins and inducing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. In essence, TCTP promotes cancer cell movement. It is usually highly expressed in cancerous tissues and thus reduces patient survival; meanwhile, drugs can target TCTP to reduce this effect. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of TCTP in promoting cancer invasion and migration, and describe the current inhibitory strategy to target TCTP in cancerous diseases.
