Objective :
To explore the expression of prohibitin2(PHB2) in breast cancer and its effect on the biological behaviors of tumor cells.
Methods :
Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PHB2 protein in breast cancer tissues and its relationship with clinicopathologic features. Breast cancer stable transient cell lines were constructed with knockdown and overexpression ofPHB2, respectively. The effects of PHB2 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability were detected by clone formation assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay. Western blot(WB) was used to detect the effects of PHB2 on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers, including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail family transcriptional repressor 1(Snail) protein, Vimentin, and Claudin-1. The effect of PHB2 on tumorigenicityin vivowas detected by subcutaneous tumor formation assay in nude mice.
Results:
The result of immunohistochemical showed that PHB2 was highly expressed in breast cancer and the expression of PHB2 was significantly positive correlated with tumor size, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) status and proliferation index Ki-67 levels(P<0.05). Clone formation assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay revealed that knockdown ofPBH2significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells(P<0.01), while the overexpression ofPHB2significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion(P<0.01). The result of subcutaneous tumor formation experiment in nude mice revealed a significant decrease in tumor volume and weight in knockdownPHB2mice(P<0.000 1), whilePHB2overexpression tumors significantly increased in volume and weight(P<0.001).WB assay showed that the protein expression of epithelial marker E-cadherin increased, while the expressions of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin decreased significantly afterPHB2knockdown with them in control cells(P<0.01). The expression of Claudin-1 decreased, while the expressions of N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin increased significantly inPHB2overexpression cells(P<0.05).
Conclusion
PHB2 is highly expressed in breast cancer and promotes multiple malignant biological behaviors in tumor cells, suggesting PHB2 may be a potential target for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is an oncogene involved in tumour genesis and progression. It is expressed in 7% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and is associated with drug resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies. With the emergence of the therapeutic dilemma of CRC and the survival benefits of targeting HER2 for patients with breast cancer and gastric cancer, the significance of HER2 in CRC and the prognostic value of anti-HER2 therapy have been widely concerned, clinical researches on HER2-positive CRC have been continuously carried out. Currently, the diagnostic criteria for HER2 positive CRC have gradually been unified. HER2-targeting therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antibody-drug coupling and HER2-related immunotherapy alone or in combination have shown good efficacy and brought significant survival benefits for HER2 positive CRC. This paper reviews the research progress of HER2 in CRC.

Objective To investigate Shanghai rehabilitation resources and services, define the status and problems and provide suggestions for making Shanghai rehabilitation health care system planning. Methods Based on the "Structure-Process-Result" theoretical framework, the questionnaire survey and field investigation were conducted on medical institutions in term of the rehabilitation departments setting, manpower, beds, equipment, housing, income and expenditure, and referral services. Results There were 321 rehabilitation doctors, 860 rehabilitation therapists and 666 rehabilitation nurses, 2199 preparation beds and 2573 real beds in all kinds of rehabilitation medical institutions. The rates of carrying out rehabilitation services were 94.79% in general hospitals, 100.00% in rehabilitation hospitals, 75.56% in community health service centers, rehabilitation equipment rates were 50.79%, 71.15%, 17.77%, and 27.73 %, 30.00%, 13.21% of them provided outpatient rehabilitation services. Conclusion Shanghai tertiary rehabilitation medical services architecture has initially formed, however, there are still many problems in the rehabilitation function. The rehabilitation health care system planning should focus on rehabilitation services capacity, rehabilitation staff team, rehabilitation resources and services referrals.

Objective To investigate the status of rehabilitation personnel in Shanghai. Methods Shanghai medical institutions were investigated through self-questionnaire including rehabilitation personnel quantity, basic characteristics of sociology and training from 2011 to 2013. Results There are 2262 rehabilitation personnel on duty in the medical institutions, with 321 rehabilitation doctors, 860 rehabilitation therapists and 666 rehabilitation nurses, 415 people without identity; female rehabilitation doctors, female rehabilitation therapists and female rehabilitation nurses account for 48.91%, 54.77%, 98.80% respectively; 25-34 years old group accounts for 44.24%, 38.84% and 39.79% respectively; working less than 5 years accounts for 30.84%, 65.00% and 60.81% respectively. Rehabilitation doctors with bachelor degree and clinical profession account for 56.70% and 75.07% respectively; rehabilitation therapists with college degree and rehabilitation profession account for 48.37% and 89.19% respectively; rehabilitation nurses with college degree and nursing profession account for 52.25% and 99.55% respectively; rehabilitation physicians, therapists and rehabilitation nurses who didn't accept the professional training of rehabilitation account for 4.36%, 4.07% and 28.68% respectively. Conclusion Shanghai rehabilitation personnel are deficient and some staff has not yet been identified, rehabilitation personnel structure and functional reeducation also need to be reinforced.
