Clinicopathologic Factors Related to the Histological Tumor Grade of Breast Cancer in Western China: An Epidemiological Multicenter Study of 8619 Female Patients

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Breast cancer is now recognized as a clinically heterogeneous disease with a wide spectrum of epidemiological and clinicopathologic features. We aimed to evaluate whether epidemiological and clinicopathologic features are associated with the histological tumor grade of breast carcinomas in Western China. METHODS: We retrospectively collected data from the Western China Clinical Cooperation Group and assessed associations between clinicopathologic factors and histological tumor grade in 8619 female breast cancer patients. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I (tumor grade I/II) and Group II (tumor grade III). Univariable analysis and multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationships between clinicopathologic factors and tumor grade. RESULTS: Patients presenting with positive axillary lymph nodes, large tumor size (>2?cm), lymphovascular invasion, hormone receptor negativity, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) positivity, and triple negativity tended to have an increased risk of a high tumor grade. However, the number of pregnancies or births was inversely correlated with the risk of a high tumor grade. In addition, patients presenting with grade III tumors were more likely to receive aggressive treatment, such as adjuvant chemotherapy, anti–HER-2 therapy, and level III axillary lymph node dissection. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggested that several clinicopathologic factors were associated with high tumor grade of breast cancer patients in Western China.     

Large-Scale Expression,Purification of Bioactive Recombinant Human FGF6 in <Emphasis Type="Italic">E. coli</Emphasis> and the Mechanisms of Its Myocardial Protection

Fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF6) known as hst-2 belonging to the FGF4 subfamily has extensive biological activities which include regulating cell proliferation, angiogenesis, as well as facilitating muscle regeneration. To further investigate the structural and biochemical effects of FGF6, we had firstly established a successful E. coli system for large-scale production of recombinant human FGF6 (rhFGF6) with remarkable biological activity. We performed renaturation of denatured rhFGF6 on a SP Sepharose column followed by washing with buffer containing 600 mM NaCl, and further purification on a Heparin Sepharose column. The yield of purified rhFGF6 was nearly 110 mg per liter of bacterial broth and the purity of rhFGF6 was up to 97% which was demonstrated by HPLC analysis. In vitro studies showed that the rhFGF6 protein could significantly stimulate the proliferation of NIH 3T3 cells and C2C12 myoblast cells, besides protecting H9c2 myocardial cells against H₂O₂ induced injury through MAPK-Caspase-3 dependent pathway. The approach described here could provide an efficient avenue to produce active rhFGF6.     

云南23个少数民族人群腺苷酸激酶(AK1)多态分布调查

采用淀粉凝胶电泳法,对云南彝、白、哈尼、壮、傣、苗、傈僳、回、拉祜、佤、纳西、瑶、藏、景颇、布朗、普米、怒、阿昌、德昂、基诺、布依、独龙和苦聪人等23个少数民族人群的红细胞腺苷酸激酶(AK1)的多态分布进行了调查。结果,在23个人群中均未检出AK21纯合子。但在彝、回、景颇、布朗、怒和德昂6个民族中检出了AK21杂合子,AK21基因频率在这6个民族中的分布在0.0045-0.0446之间,其中,仅回族的AK21基因达多态水平。 Abstract:The investigation on the distribution of adenylate kinase(AK1)polyorphism in 23 ethnic groups in Yunnan province of China,including the minorities of Yi,Bai,Hani,Zhuang,Dai,Miao,Lisu,Hui,Lahu,Wa,Naxi,Yao,Tibetan,Jingro,Bulang,Pumi,Nu,Achang,Deang,Jino,Buyi,Dulong and Kucong people,was carried out,using starch gel electrophoresis.The results showed that no AK21,homozygote and other variations were found.But AK21 heterozygotes were found in the minorities of Yi,Hui,Jingpo,Bulang,Nu and Deang.The ranges of AK21 gene frequencies were 0.0045-0.0446.     

金沙江干热河谷植物区系和生态多样性的初步研究

对金沙江干热河谷中植物区系成分和生态多分的多样性进行了初步研究。研究显示,金沙江干热河谷虽然气候干燥,给植物的正常生长带来不利影响,但河谷所具有充沛的光、热因子却为许多热带、亚热带植物的生长提供了条件,而特殊的地理位置和地形也为许多植物物种的保存创造了有利条件,形成一些植物的保留地。其植物区系成分中热带成分占６７．２６％,高于中国、云南,以及滇中。生长型以草本植物为主,其所占比例超过半数;生活型以

不同波长激光辐照花生种子的生物学效应

本实验考察了Ｋ＋ｒ、Ａｒ＋、Ｎｄ：ＹＡＧ、ＨｅＮｅ和ＬＤ等不同波长的激光辐照对花生种子产生的生物学效应。结果显示,适当剂量不同波长的激光辐照都能促进花生种子生长。在辐照剂量为０．１２８ｗ／ｃｍ２×１８０ｓ的条件下,较短波长激光对花生幼苗的促进作用比长波长激光显著;在辐照剂量为１．２８ｗ／ｃｍ２×１８ｓ的条件下,短波长激光对花生种子的萌发及胚的生长有抑制作用,而长波长激光有促进效应。在相同辐照剂量条件下,不同功率密度与时间的组合其辐照效果不同。１．２８ｗ／ｃｍ２功率密度的Ｎｄ：ＹＡＧ（５３２ｎｍ）激光脉冲输出辐照对花生种子的生长产生显著的抑制作用。实验结果提示,要得到相同的辐照效果,长波长激光与短波长激光相比,必须提高辐照功率密度或加大辐照输出剂量。
