Objective:To investigate the protein expression characteristics of bone metastatic breast cancer cells and the underlying molecu-lar mechanism driving bone metastasis.Methods:A firefly luciferase-overexpressing human breast cancer cell line,MCF-7-luc,and its bone metastasis subline,MCF-7-BOM-luc,were established.Additionally,a nude mouse model of breast cancer bone metastasis was established by injecting the aforementioned cells into the left ventricle.Bone metastasis and trabecular changes were assessed using micro-computed tomography(Micro-CT).Cell migration,and invasion were evaluated using the Transwell assays.Differential protein expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)were analyzed using proteomics,Western blot,and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR(qPCR).We meas-ured the glucose uptake,L-lactic acid content,and cell energy metabolism parameters using 2-NBDG,ELISA,and a Seahorse energy metabol-izer.Results:MCF-7-BOM-luc cells exhibited stronger migration,invasion,and EMT characteristics as well as more pronounced bone meta-stasis capabilities than the MCF-7-luc cells.Proteomic analysis revealed increased S100 calcium-binding protein A(S100A4)expression in MCF-7-BOM-luc cells,with other differentially expressed proteins being primarily involved in metabolic pathways.Additionally,MCF-7-BOM-luc cells displayed increased expression of E-box binding homeobox 1/2(zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1/2,ZEB1/2)and Vimentin and reduced E-cadherin expression.MCF-7-BOM-luc cells also exhibited enhanced glucose uptake,L-lactic acid production,and glycolysis rates as well as increased phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2(ERK1/2)and signal transducer and activator of tran-scription 3(STAT3).Conclusions:MCF-7-BOM-luc cells promote S100A4 expression through ERK1/2 and STAT3 signaling pathway activation,which in turn enhances the EMT process and glycolysis rate,thereby contributing to malignant bone metastasis.Proteomic analysis of breast cancer bone metastasis-related protein characteristics could offer potential targets for the diagnosis,prevention,and treatment of breast cancer bone metastasis.

Objective To analyze the effects of immediate multi-vessel percutaneous coronary inter-vention(MV-PCI)and staged vascular intervention(Staged-PCI,immediate PCI for culprit-only followed by a delayed treatment of all other lesions)on the prognosis in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods A total of 417 elderly acute STEMI patients who underwent PCI in Baoding First Central hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were enrolled,and according to different treatment strategies,they were divided into MV-PCI group(87 cases)and Staged-PCI group(330 cases).A propensity score matching(PSM)model was established based on baseline data of the two groups,there were 84 cases in each group.During a mean follow-up period of 13.5 months,with the occurrence of main adverse cardi-ovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCE)as endpoint,the incidence of MACCE was com-pared between the two groups after PSM.Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of MACCE.Results Before PSM,there were significant differences be-tween the two groups in terms of age,proportions of hypertension,diabetes and hyperlipidemia,family history,stroke history,peripheral artery disease,preoperative SBP,lesion vessels(such as left anterior descending branch and left circumflex branch),and number of non-diseased vessels(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the incidences of MACCE and all-cause mor-tality were significantly lower in the MV-PCI group than the Staged PCI group(Plog rank＜0.05).Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that MV-PCI was a protective prognostic factor for MACCE(HR=0.263,95％CI:0.105-0.659,P=0.004)and all-cause death(HR=0.236,95％CI:0.007-0.722,P=0.016).Conclusion MV-PCI can significantly improve the prognosis of elderly patients with acute STEMI with multivessel disease.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of Arisaema Cum Bile on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride （CCl4） in mice. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， positive control group （Biphenyl diester dropping pills， 150 mg/kg）， Arisaema Cum Bile low-dose and high-dose groups （0.78， 2.34 g/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. The mice in each group were given relevant medicine intragastrically， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. Two hours after the last administration， those groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 0.2% CCl4-olive oil solution to induce acute liver injury model except for normal group. Seventeen hours after intraperitoneal injection， the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF- α）， and malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD） in liver tissue were measured with kit method. The hepatic index was detected. The pathological changes of liver tissue were observed by HE staining， and the degree of liver injury was scored quantitatively. The mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 in liver tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR； the protein expressions of Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）， signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 3 （STAT3） and nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65） in liver tissue were detected by Western blot assay. RESULTS Compared with normal group，the levels of ALT， AST， IL-6， TNF-α and MDA， the hepatic index were increased significantly （P＜0.05）， while the level of SOD was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； the mRNA E-mail：qhwang668@sina.com expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α， and the protein expressions of JAK2， STAT3 and NF-κB p65 were up-regulated significantly （P＜0.05）； the pathological observation of liver tissue showed that the structure of hepatic cord was seriously disordered， there were many inflammatory cells infiltration of liver cells， and the liver injury score was significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， pathological changes and above indexes in mice were improved significantly in Arisaema Cum Bile low-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Arisaema Cum Bile has a protective effect on CCl4-induced acute liver injury in mice， which may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory response mediated by JAK2/STAT3/NF-κB signal pathway and antioxidant stress.

Objective:To investigate the effect of O-6-methylguananine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation status on the treatment and prognosis of elderly patients newly-diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM).Methods:Clinical data of 65 newly-diagnosed GBM patients admitted to Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy after surgery and 49 patients received temozolomide (TMZ) monotherapy. All patients were divided into the MGMT(+ ) group and MGMT(-) group according to the methylation status of MGMT promoter. Kaplan- Meier method and log-rank test were used for univariate survival analysis, and Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results:The median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 18.0 months. The median OS was 27.0 months and 15.3 months in the MGMT(+ ) group and MGMT(-) group, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that tumor number, MGMT promoter methylation, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy were significantly related to clinical prognosis ( P=0.029, P=0.001 and P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, tumor number and postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy were identified as significant prognostic factors for OS ( P=0.037, P=0.004). In the MGMT(+ ) group, the median OS was 27.0 months for patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 12.0 months for radiotherapy alone ( P=0.040). In the MGMT(-) group, the median OS was 17.0 months for concurrent chemoradiotherapy patients and 10.0 months for radiotherapy alone ( P=0.122). Conclusions:MGMT promoter methylation status is significantly associated with longer OS in elderly GBM patients. Conventional fractional radiotherapy combined with concurrent and sequential TMZ chemotherapy probably yields better survival benefits.

Objective: To explore the effect of anxiety, depression, perceived social support on maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) in women during late pregnancy. Method: A sample of 207 cases of women during late pregnancy was assessed with Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: Anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with MFA scores (r=-0.401,-0.416, P<0.01); perceived social support scores were negatively correlated with anxiety and depression (r=-0.233,-0.362, P<0.01), but positively correlated with MFA scores (r=0.200, P<0.01). The interactive effects of anxiety×perceived social support and depression × perceived social support on MFA were significant(β=0.196、0.204, P<0.01). Conclusion Perceived social support played a moderating role between negative emotion and MFA.

Objective To translate Rheumatoid Arthritis Self-efficacy Scale (RASE) into Chinese and to evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods A total of 188 hospitalized patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were selected as research subjects through convenience sampling method. According to the translation mode of the scale, Chinesization and cultural adjustment were conducted to the English version of RASEto test reliability and validity. Results Item analysis showed that the Chinese version of RASE could discriminate the high-score group from the low-score group (P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficient between the score of each item and the total score of the Chinese version of RASE was positively correlated (P<0.01).Exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 8 common factors, which explained 68.55％of the total variance. The Cronbachαof the Chinese version of RASE was 0.901, and Cronbachαof each dimension ranged from 0.660 to 0.867;the retest reliability was 0.955 after 1 week, and ranged from 0.819 to 0.984 for each dimension;the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.848. Conclusion The Chinese version of RASE has good reliability and validity, which can be applied to the research of self-efficacy of patients with RA in China.

BACKGROUND:The internal structures of the colagen-heparan sulfate scaffold and human nerve are very similar. OBJECTIVE: To explore thein vivo biocompatibility of colagen-heparin sulfate scaffold. METHODS:Forty pigs were randomly divided into two groups, 20 in each group: observation group and control group. Medulo-puncture needle was inserted 1.0 cm adjacent to the midline of anterior fontanele into the subarachnoid space, and then removed gradualy. Colagen-heparin sulfate scaffold was implanted into the observation group, and no treatment was given in the control group. Brain tissues were observed under transmission electron microscope, and cel apoptosis and Caspase-3 expression were detected at days 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the electron microscope, there were some damaged neurons in the observation group with the emergence of demyelination changes in the myelinated nerve fibers; positiveexpression of Caspase-3 protein was found at the junction between the brain tissue and scaffold as wel as within the scaffold, but no positive expression was found in the surrounding tissue. There was no cel apoptosis within 30 days after surgery except for individual apoptotic neurons both in the observation group and control group. The number of apoptotic cels in the observation group was higher than that in the control group at days 1, 3, 7, 14 days after surgery (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two groups at 30 days after surgery (P > 0.05). Caspase-3 protein expression was at a low state in the two groups, but the protein expression of Caspase-3 was higher in the observation group than the control group at days 3 and 7 after surgery (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the colagen heparin sulfate scaffold has good biocompatibility in the porcine brain.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the process for extraction and purification of Schisandrin in Fructus Schisandra Chinensis. METHODS: The orthogonal test L9( 34) was adopted to optimize the water extraction process using Schisandrin and its extracts as indicators. The parallel test was used to optimize the parameters of the alcohol precipitation technique.
