Objective To investigate the expressions of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer(EMMPRIN),matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),lysine demethylase 6B(KDM6B)proteins and their correlation with clinicopathologic features in invasive breast cancer,and analyze the correlation among the three proteins and their value in pathological diagnosis of invasive breast cancer.Methods The surgical biopsy specimens of 124 patients with invasive breast cancer who were admitted to the Department of Pathology,the Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine/People's Hospital of Zhengzhou from January 2014 to December 2017 were selected as research subjects,and 20 low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissue specimens,27 high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissue specimens,and 22 adjacent tissue specimens＞1 cm away from the invasive breast cancer were selected as controls.The expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins in cancer-adjacent tissues,low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues,high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues and invasive breast cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The relationship between the relative expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins and clinicopathologic features of invasive breast cancer was analyzed,Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins in breast cancer tissues,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was adopted to evaluate the diagnostic value of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B for invasive breast cancer.Results The relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in high-grade intraductal carcinoma and invasive breast cancer tissues were significantly higher those in cancer-adjacent tissues and low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues,and the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than those in cancer-adjacent tissues and low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues(P＜0.05);the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in invasive breast cancer tissues were significantly higher those in high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues,and the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than that in high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the relative expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins between cancer-adjacent tissues and low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues(P＞0.05).The relative expressions of EMMPRIN and KDM6B proteins were not related to the age,tumor location and tumor diameter of patients with invasive breast cancer(P＞0.05),and the relative expression of MMP-9 protein was not related to the age and tumor location of patients with invasive breast cancer(P＞0.05).Relative expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins were correlated with WHO grading,lymph node metastasis,and tumor,node and metastasis(TNM)staging of invasive breast cancer(P＜0.05),and the relative expression of MMP-9 protein was correlated with the tumor diameter(P＜0.05).In the WHO grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ of invasive breast cancer,the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins increased sequentially,while the relative expression of KDM6B protein decreased sequentially(P＜0.05);the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in the lymph node metastasis group were significantly higher than those in the non-lymph node metastasis group,and the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than that in the non-lymph node metastasis group(P＜0.05);the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in TNM stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.05),while the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than that in stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.05).In the group of invasive breast cancer with diameter≤2 cm,2 to 5 cm,and＞5 cm,the relative expression of MMP-9 protein increased sequentially(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression of EMMPRIN was positively correlated with MMP-9 protein in invasive breast cancer tissues(r=0.990,P=0.000),the expression of EMMPRIN was negatively correlated with KDM6B protein(r=-0.606,P=0.000),and the expression of MMP-9 was negatively correlated with KDM6B protein(r=-0.612,P=0.000).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of EMMPRIN protein for diagnosing invasive breast cancer was 0.875[95％confidence interval(CI):0.823-0.926,P＜0.05],with an optimal threshold of 10.043,sensitivity of 79.0％,and specificity of 76.8％;the AUC of MMP-9 protein in diagnosing invasive breast cancer was 0.863(95％CI:0.808-0.917,P＜0.05),with an optimal threshold of 10.070,sensitivity of 74.2％,and specificity of 76.8％;the AUC of KDM6B protein in diagnosing invasive breast cancer was 0.267(95％CI:0.196-0.338,P＜0.05),with an optimal threshold of 11.003,sensitivity of 71.0％,and specificity of 98.6％.Conclusion EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B are related to the occurrence and development of invasive breast cancer.Detection of the expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B is helpful to the pathological diagnosis of invasive breast cancer and clinical judgment of invasion and metastasis of breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of polypharmacy burden in inpatient with elderly comorbidity.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 393 in patients with elderly comorbidity of multiple medications who were hospitalized in North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital from September 2020 to January 2021 as the research object, using the general situation questionnaire, the Living with Medicines Questionnaire (LMQ), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Medication Compliance Scale (Morisky Scale) to investigate. Descriptive analysis of general data characteristics and polypharmacy burden scores were performed, and t-test, variance analysis, and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze influencing factors. Results:The polypharmacy burden for inpatient with elderly comorbidity was (136.95 ± 22.34) points, and the score rate was 70.23%, which was at a moderately high level. Multi-factor analysis showed that age, education level, personal monthly income, the number of illnesses, the number of medications, the duration of medication, social support, and medication compliance were independent factors influencing polypharmacy burden in inpatient with elderly comorbidity ( R 2=0.821, adjusted R 2=0.818, F=220.65, P<0.001). Conclusions:The polypharmacy burden in inpatient with elderly comorbidity is at a moderately high level. It is recommended that medical staff should develop individualized nursing interventions to reduce the polypharmacy burden for the factors that affect the burden of multiple medications for this population.

Objective　It is important to distinguish between motor and sensory fascicles of the peripheral nerves for nerve alignment in surgery.No biomarkers currently are available for identification of motor or sensory fascicles.The objective of this study is to search the specific proteins between sensory and motor fascicles of peripheral nerves and provide biomarkers for the identification of functional fascicles of peripheral nerves.Methods　The normal state of motor branch and saphenous nerve of femoral nerve in Wistar rats,and at 8 hours and 8 days after Sunderland V injury were respectively sampled.Five mm long samples were taken from the distal side of the broken end,and a total of 18 groups of proteins were isolated from 6 samples.After purification and quantification,differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE) was used to label the proteins,gel image was scanned,and image analysis software (DeCyder) was used to compare and identify the differentially expressed proteins in each group.Protein spots with more than 1.5 times of difference in expression were selected to prepare glue-cutting,enzyme-cutting and spot target.PMF chromatogram was analyzed and identified by MALDI-TOF-PRO mass spectrometer,and the results of proteomics were analyzed and compared by RT-PCR.Chi-square tests and t-tests were performed for comparison between motor or sensory nerve groups.Results　The data identified 6 proteins that were differentially expressed between motor and sensory fascicles (>1.5-fold,P<0.05),including Annexin V,neurofilament light polypepticle,TEC kinase,serine protease inhibitor A3N,Peroxiredoxin-2,and TPM1.The proteomic results were consistent with the mRNA expression levels of these genes as determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Conclusion　There were significant differences in proteomic expression between the peripheral sensory and motor fascicles,and Annexin V can be used as a high-difference marker protein to distinguish the peripheral sensory from motor fascicles.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment plan, clinical outcomes of pregnancy with cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 10 pregnant women with cervical cancer from January 2008 to October 2018 in Dalian Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University, the First Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian Central Hospital, Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Center and Wafangdian Central Hospital of Liaoning Province were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The incidence of pregnancy with cervical cancer was 0.004% (10/238 128). Among the 10 cases of pregnancy with cervical cancer, the gestational weeks ≤ 20 weeks at the time of diagnosis was in 6 cases, and they all chose to terminate the pregnancy; the gestational weeks 20 +1 to 30 weeks at the time of diagnosis was in 1 case, and the patient chose to terminate the pregnancy; the gestational weeks >30 weeks at the time of diagnosis was in 2 cases, and they all chose to continue the pregnancy; 1 case was diagnosed after delivery. There were 3 newborns, including 1 premature infants, and they all survived. Conclusions:It is helpful to the diagnose of the disease to strengthen cervical cancer screening before pregnancy and improve the examination of patients with abnormal symptoms during pregnancy. The treatment plan should be individualized according to the pregnancy status, stage of the disease, and wishes of the patient and family.

[Abstract] Objective: To construct and verify the anti-tumor activity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified NK-92 cells (CAR-NK-92 cells) targeting prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) in cervical cancer. Methods: Lentiviral vector expressing CAR targeting PSCA was constructed, and PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells were obtained by lentivirus transfection. The expression of PSCA in human cervical cancer cells was determined by Flow cytometry and Western blotting. The killing effect of PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells against cervical cancer cells was verified by co-incubation of effector and target cells in vitro, and the tumor inhibitory ability of PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells was verified with the nude mice xenograft model in vivo. Results: PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells were successfully constructed. PSCA was highly expressed in human cervical cancer Hela and MS751 cells (all P<0.01). In vitro co-incubation results showed that PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells could lyse PSCA+ cervical cancer transplanted tumor in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo anti-tumor data showed that PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells significantly inhibited the growth of cervical cancer cells compared with NK-92 cells transfected with vehicle vectors (P<0.01). In addition, PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells could effectively infiltrate tumor tissues and promote the secretion of anti-tumor cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ (all P<0.01). Conclusion: The CAR-NK-92 targeting PSCA shows good anti-tumor effect on PSCA+ tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo, and has potential to be a therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer.

Objective To indentify the cognitive status of Chinese patients to acne and the influencing factors to theirs' cognitive status,so as to provide solid evidences for the prevention and treatment of acne.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was made to conduct this survey of 16,156 acne patients,who seeked to the treatment in the dermatological departments from 112 hospitals in China.The survey consisted of several parts,including the general status of patients,the patients' cognition of occurrence,development and risk factors of acne,whether the first choice was seeking treatment at the hospital when the patients had acne and the condition of selection of skin care products.The factors were analyzed,which could impact the cognition of the patients' behavior of treatment,how did the patients' cognition to influence their medical behavior and skin care as well as the consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients themselves.Results The acne patients studied had the best knowledge of "acne is a skin disease","it not only occurs in the period of adolescence" and "the disease can be prevented and cured",which accordingly accounted for 80.65％,69.16％ and 65.49％ of the total patients respectively.However,the awareness of acne patients to heredity,high sugar and dairy products as risk factors for acne was insufficient,which accounted for 48.72％,42.40％ and 18.25％ of the total patients,respectively.Gender,age,educational level,occupation and health knowledge were the main factors affecting the cognitive level of patients;the survey also found that men,patient with educational level of junior high or even lower educational condition,occupation of labor workers or farmers and patients were lack of health education with poor knowledge of the genetics and dietary were risk factors for acne;patients with age over 36 years or with mild illness had poor knowledge of dietary risk factors for acne;the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The analysis of the influence of cognitive status on medical treatment behavior and skin care showed that the better the cognition,the higher the probability of patients would choose medical treatment as the first choice as well as choosing functional skin care products;the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients was poor (Kappa value ＜0.4),and the assessment of severity of acne by patients was more serious than doctors' assessment.Conclusions Patient's cognitive status will affect their medical behavior and skin care,and there is also a phenomenon that patients have a more serious assessment of their acne condition.It is suggested that health education for acne patients should be strengthened in clinical medicine so as to improve their knowledge of acne as well as preventing from acne effectively.

The accelerating growth of the public microbial genomic data imposes substantial bur-den on the research community that uses such resources. Building databases for non-redundant ref-erence sequences from massive microbial genomic data based on clustering analysis is essential. However, existing clustering algorithms perform poorly on long genomic sequences. In this article, we present Gclust, a parallel program for clustering complete or draft genomic sequences, where clustering is accelerated with a novel parallelization strategy and a fast sequence comparison algo-rithm using sparse suffix arrays (SSAs). Moreover, genome identity measures between two sequences are calculated based on their maximal exact matches (MEMs). In this paper, we demon-strate the high speed and clustering quality of Gclust by examining four genome sequence datasets. Gclust is freely available for non-commercial use at https://github.com/niu-lab/gclust. We also introduce a web server for clustering user-uploaded genomes at http://niulab.scgrid.cn/gclust.

Objective To investigate the relationship between prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients, and provide certain clinical basis of early prevention in peripherally inserted central catheter associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients. Methods One hundred and forty cervical patients with PICC were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into thrombosis group (35 patients) and non-thrombosis group (105 patients). The level of F1+2 was examined using enzyme-linked immunoassay, and was analyzed according to the clinic features. Results The level of F1+2 was correlated with clinical stage (r = 0.640, P = 0.004);but was not correlated with age, type of tumor and concurrent radiochemotherapy (P>0.05). The level of F1+2 in thrombosis group was (520.343 ± 121.759) pmol/L, in non- thrombosis group was (388.361 ± 104.873) pmol/L, and there was significant difference (P =0.001). The multi-factors Logistic analysis showed that the level of F1+2 (OR=1.011, P=0.001) and age (OR = 21.025, P = 0.031) were independent risk factors for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer. Conclusions The level of F1+2 is closely related with clinical stage and PICC associated thrombosis, and it is an independent risk factor for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the application value of extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods A total of one hundred and twenty patients with stage IIB?IVA cervical cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June 2012 to June 2014 were randomly divided into two groups:the control group and the observation group,each with 60 cases. The routine concurrent chemoradiotherapy was adopted in the control group. The observation group was treated with extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy. The patients have been followed up for three years. The total efficacy rate,toxicity reaction,local progression free survival time ( PFS) and survival rate of the two groups were compared. Results The total efficacy rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( 88. 3%( 53/60 ) vs. 73. 3%( 44/60 ) , χ2 = 4. 357, P=0. 037),while the incidences of toxicity reaction in the two groups were 18. 3%(11/60) and 16. 7%(10/60), the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=0. 058,P=0. 810) ,the percentages of I and II degree in the two groups were 3. 4%( 2/60 ) and 3. 4%( 2/60 ) , the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (Z=0. 000,P=1. 000). The PFS value in the observation group was significantly longer than that of the control group ( 25. 6 months vs. 13. 8 months,χ2 = 25. 624, P= 0. 000 ) , and the survival rate in the observation group improved significantly ( 53. 3%( 32/60 ) vs. 33. 3%( 20/60 ) , the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4. 887, P= 0. 027 ) . Conclusion Extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.
