As a highly heterogeneous disease, breast cancer ranks first in new cases and deaths of female malignant tumors. In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer increases and tends to be younger. Early-onset breast cancer (<40 years old) is mostly associated with adverse biological characteristics and poor prognosis. Although immunotherapy and targeted therapy have advances in the treatment of breast cancer, a major challenge of neoplastic resistance to systemic therapy remains. Therefore, early diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets with high specificity and sensitivity must be identified. miR-21 affects the occurrence and development of breast cancer by targeting related genes and regulating related signaling pathways (PTEN/PI3K/Akt and NF-κB/ miR-21-5p/PDCD4 signaling pathways). This paper reviews the mechanism and progress of miR-21 in breast cancer.

Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent mode of programmed cell death characterized by iron deposition and accumulation of lipid peroxidation. More and more studies have found that ferroptosis is closely related to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The yin-fire theory is an important part of LI Gao's spleen-stomach theory, and it is believed that qi-fire imblance and yin-fire internal generation is the main pathogenesis of T2DM. Abnormal iron metabolism may be an important prerequisite for T2DM yin-fire internal generation, while oxidative stress is the specific manifestation of T2DM qi-fire imbalance. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the end product of qi-fire imbalance, and lipid peroxide is the pathological products of T2DM yin-fire internal generation. This study intends to explore the pathological mechanism of qi-fire imbalance and yin-fire internal generation from the perspectives of iron metabolism, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, enriching the modern connotation of yin-fire theory, and benefiting traditional Chinese medicine to target against ferroptosis, and prevent and treat T2DM precisely.

Objective: To study the application of CT and MRI fusion technique in the diagnosis and treatment of intraocular and orbital tumors. Methods: 2D-images of 13 patients with intraocular and orbital tumors were fused by special-point registration and Iterative Local Closest Point(ILCP) method; 3D-fusion images were reconstructed by Ray Tracing method. Results: A 3D-CT-MRI fusion images of intraocular and orbital tumors were reconstructed and displayed. The CT and MRI data of intraocular and orbital tumors were displayed on the same image as a comprehensive whole,which provided a stereogram of 3D-structure of the normal and abnormal orbital tissues. Anatomical structure of the orbit was clearly visualized by 3D-CT-MRI image. Conclusion: The multi-modality fusion technique can provide more accurate and comprehensive information for clinical diagnosis of intraocular and orbital tumors, which is helpful for doctors' planning of surgical operations,clinical education and doctor-patient communication.

Objective:To examine the role of dopamine D4 receptor gene(DRD4) in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) with/without disruptive behavior disorder(DBD) by focusing on a-521C/T SNP within the promoter region of this gene.Methods:A total of 401 DSM-Ⅳ ADHD children(including 284 trios) of Chinese Han descent were genotyped.Chi-square test and the transmission disequilibrium test(TDT) were used to test for associations in ADHD with and without DBD respectively.Results:In the comparison of ADHD with(n= 143) and without(n= 258) DBD,the-521T allele(?2 = 6.778,P= 0.009,OR= 1.485) and the TT genotype(?2 = 6.292,P= 0.012,OR= 1.729) showed higher frequency in children with ADHD and DBD simultaneously.For family based analysis,T allele of the-521C/T polymorphism was preferentially transmitted to ADHD children with comorbid DBD(n= 100,?2 = 3.868,P= 0.049),whereas no significant distortion was found in the transmission of the tested variant for ADHD without DBD(n= 184,?2 = 0.223,P= 0.637).Conclusion:Our findings suggest that the-521C/T SNP of DRD4 may contribute to the predisposition to ADHD with comorbid DBD.This study supports for the hypothesis that ADHD with comorbid DBD may be influenced by greater genetic effect compared to ADHD alone.
