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:To systematically evaluate the qualitative research on rehabilitation experience of patients after hip and knee arthroplasty, so as to provide theoretical reference for nursing workers to scientifically and reasonably carry out nursing services.Methods:The research is a Meta-synthesis of qualitative research. Computer retrieval of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang and China Biology Medicine disc was conducted to collect articles on qualitative research of patients' experience in rehabilitation after artificial joint replacement. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to February 27, 2022. The quality of article was evaluated using the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. The results were integrated and analyzed using the pooled integration method.Results:A total of 17 articles were included, including 8 phenomenological studies, 3 rooted theoretical studies, and 6 descriptive studies. The quality evaluation of 17 articles were all Grade B. Finally, 3 integration results were obtained, forming 8 new categories, namely, the challenge of "returning to normality" (category 1: recovery of individual physical and mental state; category 2: return to normal life; category 3: return to family and social roles) , desire for multi-dimensional support (category 1: desire for continuous medical information support; category 2: emotional social support was of great significance) , changing self-coping styles (category 1: positive behavioral coping strategies; category 2: positive psychological adjustment strategies; category 3: reliance on spirit and belief) .Conclusions:The rehabilitation experience of patients after arthroplasty mainly includes the challenge of "returning to normality", the desire for multi-dimensional support and the changing self-coping styles. Medical staff should pay attention to the physical and mental changes, information and emotional needs of patients after joint replacement, and provide targeted support and help to accelerate the progress of patients' postoperative rehabilitation, improve their quality of life, and deepen their social integration.

Objective To study the occurrence of BRCA1 MSI in endometrial cancer and its relationship with clinic pathologic features; to explore the correlation between MSI and protein expression in BRCA1 gene. Methods Application of PCR-SSCP and DNA sequence analysis method was used to study D17S579 and D17S1349 in 49 sporadic endometrial cancer tissues, 20 cases with endometrial atypical hyperplasia and 28 cases with normal endometrial tissues. Results In the total samples of D17S579 and D17S1349, the three groups were significantly different: 34.69%(17/49) in the endometrial cancer group, 10%(2/20) in the endometrial atypical hyperplasia group and 7.14%(2/28) in the normal endometrium group (χ2= 11.208, P = 0.004). BRCA1 MSI positive rate related to the pathology grade and clinical stage, but no relationship was found in muscular infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis and histopathology types. In the endometrial cancer group, BRCA1 MSI positive rate and BRCA1 protein expression were in moderate correlated negatively (r = -0.779, P = 0.000). Conclusion BRCA1 MSI might play a role in the development of endometrial cancer, and low expression of BRCA1 protein. BRCA1 MSI might be associated with pathology grade and clinical stages in EC.
