Background::Breast cancer (BC) risk-stratification tools for Asian women that are highly accurate and can provide improved interpretation ability are lacking. We aimed to develop risk-stratification models to predict long- and short-term BC risk among Chinese women and to simultaneously rank potential non-experimental risk factors.Methods::The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women, a large ongoing prospective dynamic cohort study, includes 122,058 women aged 25-70 years old from the eastern part of China. We developed multiple machine-learning risk prediction models using parametric models (penalized logistic regression, bootstrap, and ensemble learning), which were the short-term ensemble penalized logistic regression (EPLR) risk prediction model and the ensemble penalized long-term (EPLT) risk prediction model to estimate BC risk. The models were assessed based on calibration and discrimination, and following this assessment, they were externally validated in new study participants from 2017 to 2020.Results::The AUC values of the short-term EPLR risk prediction model were 0.800 for the internal validation and 0.751 for the external validation set. For the long-term EPLT risk prediction model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.692 and 0.760 in internal and external validations, respectively. The net reclassification improvement index of the EPLT relative to the Gail and the Han Chinese Breast Cancer Prediction Model (HCBCP) models for external validation was 0.193 and 0.233, respectively, indicating that the EPLT model has higher classification accuracy.Conclusions::We developed the EPLR and EPLT models to screen populations with a high risk of developing BC. These can serve as useful tools to aid in risk-stratified screening and BC prevention.

Objective:
In this research, the influence of breviscapine on anxiety, fear elimination, and aggression and the potential mechanism was investigated.
Methods:
Anxiety and locomotion were analyzed by elevated plus maze and open field test in mice. Bussey-Saksida Mouse Touch Screen Chambers were used to perform fear conditioning. Territorial aggression was assessed by resident intruder test. Protein levels were evaluated by Western blot. Breviscapine improved fear-extinction learning in BALB/cJ mice.
Results:
Breviscapine at 20–100 mg/kg increased center cross number, total distance traveled, and velocity in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, breviscapine at 20–100 mg/kg decreased the immobility time in open field test. In addition, breviscapine at 20–100 mg/kg increased the ratio of time on the open arm, time on the distal parts of the open arm, and total distance traveled in elevated plus maze. Breviscapine at 100 mg/kg increased the average attack latency and decreased the number of attacks over the last 3 days of resident intruder test. In hippocampus, protein levels of postsynaptic density protein-95 and synaptophysin were elevated by breviscapine at these three doses.
Conclusion
The administration of breviscapine alleviates fear extinction, anxiety, and aggression, while increases locomotor in a dose-dependent manner, which might be associated with its influence on synaptic function.

Objective:To observe the changes of lactate clearance rate (LCR) and serum polyligandosan-1 (SDC-1) in patients with septic shock complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to evaluate its prognostic value.Methods:Patients with septic shock and ARDS who were admitted to the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU) of Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from February 2021 to April 2022 were selected as subjects. The patients were divided into the survival group and death group according to their 28-day survival status. General clinical data and related indicators of patients in the two groups were collected and compared. The related factors influencing the 28-day death of patients with septic shock and ARDS were screened, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the individual and combined forecast value of LCR and SDC-1 for the prognosis of patients with septic shock and ARDS.Results:Compared with the survival group, sequential organ failure score (SOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health status score Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) at admission to RICU, the levels of 24 h Lac, 6 h SDC-1, 24 h SDC-1 and 72 h SDC-1 in the death group increased significantly (all P< 0.05), and the levels of 6 h LCR, 24 h LCR, 6 h OI, 24 h OI and 72 h OI significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that SDC-1 at 6 h, 24 h and 72 h was significantly negatively correlated with OI at corresponding time points (all P<0.05), and LCR at 6 h and 24 h was significantly positively correlated with OI at corresponding time points (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that SOFA score, 24 h LCR, 24 h SDC-1 and 72 h SDC-1 were the risk factors of 28-d death in patients with septic shock and ARDS (all P<0.05). The areas under ROC curve of each related factor were SOFA score, 24 h LCR, 24 h SDC-1 and 72 h SDC-1, which could predict the prognosis (all P<0.05). 24 h LCR combined with 24 h SDC-1 had the maximum area under the curve (AUC=0.805, 95% CI: 0.691-0.920, with a sensitivity of 75.0% and a specificity of 74.4%). Conclusions:24 h LCR, 24 h SDC-1 and 72 h SDC-1 are the risk factors of the 28-day death of patients with septic shock and ARDS. 24 h LCR combined with 24 h SDC-1 can improve the test efficiency compared with the single indicator.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of Zeste homolog enhancer 2 (EZH2) gene and the risk of breast cancer.Methods:Recruiting 1 039 breast cancer patients and 1 040 controls at 22 referral hospitals nationwide in China, the genotype distribution of 3 SNPs loci of EZH2 genes was observed to detect the correlation between different genotypes and the risk of breast cancer genotypes EZH2 expression in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with patient prognosis were analyzed using breast cancer data from the database.Results:EZH2 rs6464926 CC genotype was compared with TT genotype (TT vs. CC: OR=1.362, 95% CI: 1.063-1.746, P=0.015) and dominant model (TC+TT vs .CC: OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.004-1.483, P=0.045) .In women with BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, the TC genotype ( P=0.050), TT genotype ( P=0.025) and dominant model (TC+TT, P=0.021) of rs6464926 locus were significantly different from CC genotype in cancer risk. rs6464926 was correlated with EZH2 gene expression ( P=6.89E-47). EZH2 gene is highly expressed in breast cancer tissues, and patients with high expression were associated with shorter OS ( HR=1.27, P=0.013), DMFS ( HR=1.37, P<0.01), and RFS ( HR=1.44, P<0.01). Conclusions:The polymorphism rs6464926 of EZH2 gene is associated with breast cancer susceptibility in Chinese women. rs6464926 might regulate breast cancer risk and prognosis by changing EZH2 expression.

Objective:To explore whether brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promoter methylation status is associated with panic disorder(PD), and then assess the effect of the BDNF gene methylation status on the severity of clinical symptoms in PD.Methods:The methylation levels of the BDNF gene were compared between 111 patients with PD and 130 matched healthy controls using MethylTarget approach.In addition, the panic disorder severity scale(PDSS), Hamilton anxiety rating scale(HAM-A), and Hamilton depression rating scale(HAM-D) were respectively assessed to all subjects.Results:(1)The result showed that 7 CpG regions from the promoter regions of the BDNF gene were sequenced.However, there was no statistically significant differences between cases and controls in terms of BDNF DNA methylation status ( OR=1.087, 95% CI=0.849-1.391, P>0.05). (2)Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the hypermethylation of BDNF gene was significantly associated with the severity of the depressive symptoms in PD patients (all P<0.05). The methylation levels of BDNF gene was not significantly related to the severity of anxiety and panic in PD patients(all P>0.05). Conclusion:No association between BDNF promoter methylation status and panic disorder is found in Chinese Han population, but BDNF promoter methylation status may be related to the severity of depressive symptoms in patient with panic disorder.

Objective To explore the perception and evaluation of patients with somatic symptom disorder about their own diseases and treatment,and to provide theoretical basis for design of illness percep-tion questionnaire for patients with somatic symptoms disorder. Methods A semi-structured interview was conducted among 15 initial and untreated patients with somatic symptom disorder using the descriptive quali-tative study. The data were sorted,encoded,classified,summarized and refined using MAXQDA10 software. Results Three main themes and six sub-themes of illness perception in patients with somatic symptom dis-order were analyzed and sorted out:(1) symptom recognition:including three sub-themes,low understanding of the disease and denial of somatic symptoms as mental illness;(2)drug taking concerns:including two sub-themes worrying about side effects of drugs,drug addiction and having difficulty to stick to the long-term reg-ular medication;(3)emotional reaction:including the obvious negative emotions of depression and helpless-ness sub-theme. Conclusion Patients with somatic symptom disorder have a general bias in illness percep-tion,which has a potential adverse effect on treatment compliance. Therefore,it is necessary for clinical med-ical staff to early estimate patients’illness perception,and carry out mental health education and rational e-motional behavior therapy.
