Objective The aims of this study were to screening of high-risk population of breast cancer in Urumqi,to discuss the participation rate of the screening,the detection rate of breast disease by ultrasound and X-ray photography,and the early diagnosis rate of breast cancer. Methods Among female residents of Urumqi between 40 and 74 years old,the high-risk population of breast cancer was assessed through the questionnaire of anti-cancer risk assessment.After informed consent,the 40 to 44 years old women were examined by ultrasound,and the results of BI-RADS level 3 or higher results were further examined by X-ray examination.Ultrasound combined with X-ray examination were used to women over 45 years of age.The BI-RADS level 3 was regarded as suspicious positive,BI-RADS level 4 and above were regarded as positive.All test results were further analyzed. Results A total of 27,704 at high risk of breast cancer were assessed by questionnaire survey,and 11,752 people actually completed the screening with a participation rate of 42.4%.Among them,the 50~59 years old age group had the highest participation rate(46.3%),and the difference between different age groups was statistically significant(P<0.001).The detection rate of ultrasound examination was 27.1%,the detection rate of X-ray mammography was 61.3%,and the detection rate of combined examination was 68.4%.The difference of detection rate was statistically significant with different examination techniques(P<0.001).The detection rate of X-ray mammography in all ages was higher than that of ultrasound examination.The combined examination had the highest detection rate,there was significant difference in the detection rate of different examination techniques in different age groups(P<0.001).Compared with the three techniques,the suspicious positive and positive detection rates of combined ultrasound and X-ray mammography were higher in different age groups,and the difference in positive lesion detection rates of different examination techniques in different age groups was statistically significant(P<0.001).Among the positive lesions,39 people were followed up for pathological examination,and were diagnosed as breast cancer.The detection rate was 0.33%(332/100,000),and the rate of early diagnosis was 79.5%. Conclusion Based on high risk assessment and assessing high-risk groups,the ultrasound combined with and X-ray examination can improve the detection rate of early breast cancer.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of NFATc1 expression on the proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma NCI-H1299 cells,and its specific biological mechanisms. Methods Real time PCR was used to detect the relative levels of NFATc1 in three lung adenocarcinoma cell lines,and the NCI-H1299 cell line with stable knockdown of NFATc1 was constructed using lentivirus vectors.A MTT assay was used to detect the effect of NFATc1 on cell proliferation,the cell colony assay was used to detect the effect of NFATc1 on clone formation,the Transwell assay was used to detect the effect of NFATc1 on cell migration and invasion,and flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of NFATc1 on cell cycle and apoptosis.Western blot was used to detect the effects of NFATc1 on apoptosis,EMT-related proteins and MAPK signaling pathways protein expression. Results The expression of NFATc1 in lung adenocarcinoma NCI-H1299 cells was relatively high.Silencing NFATc1 expression could significantly inhibit cell proliferation(P<0.05),clone formation(P<0.05),migration(P<0.05)and invasion(P<0.05),the cell cycle arrested at the G1 phase(P<0.05),and promote apoptosis(P<0.05).The expression of Bax,cleaved caspase-3 and E-Cadherin protein increased(P<0.05),and CDK4,c-Myc,ERK,p-ERK and N-Cadherin protein expression decreased(P<0.05). Conclusion Inhibition of NFATc1 expression in human lung adenocarcinoma NCI-H1299 cells can significantly inhibit cell proliferation,arresting cell cycle,migration and invasion,and promote cell apoptosis.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective The Objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of regorafenib combined with perifoxin(AKT inhibitor)in apoptosis induction of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Methods After treated with different concentrations of regorafenib(1,5,10,15,20 and 25 μmol/L),the cell survival rate was detected in hepatoma cells by CCK-8 assay;and then different concentrations of regorafenib(0,5,10 and 20 μmol/L)were setup.Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis.The expression of Bax,Bcl-2,P-AKT,AKT,p21,p27,Cleaved-caspase-8 and Cleaved-caspase-9 was detected by Western blot.Perifosine group(10 μmol/L),regorafenib group(20 μmol/L)and the drug combination group(perifosine 10 μmol/L combined with regorafenib 20 μmol/L)were set to detect cell apoptosis and related protein expression changes. Results Regorafenib inhibited proliferation of hepatoma cells in a dose-dependent manner from the concentration of 5 μmol/L(P<0.05).The expression of Bcl-2 and P-AKT was down-regulated and the expression of Bax,p21,p27,Cleaved-caspase-8 and Cleaved-caspase-9 was up-regulated(P<0.05).After the combined application of regorafenib and perifosine,the apoptosis rate and Bax expression were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the decrease of Bcl-2 and P-AKT expression was more obvious than that of perifosine or regorafenib alone(P<0.05). Conclusion Regorafenib can induce apoptosis in hepatma cells by increasing the expression of p21,p27,Bax,Caspase-8 and Caspase-9,and reducing the expression of Bcl-2 and P-AKT.The combined application of regorafenib and perifosine significantly increases the apoptosis rate of hepatma cells,providing a new theoretical basis and ideas for the drug treatment of liver cancer.

Objective The Objective of this study was to explore the expression of Sushi repeat containing protein X-linked 2(SRPX2)and Ras-related protein 31(Rab31)in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)and in-depth analysis of the relationship between the two proteins and the occurrence or development of the disease as well as clinical significance,to provide a new direction for the future development of new targeted drugs and the search for prognostic indicators for OSCC. Methods The expression of SRPX2 and Rab31 in OSCC and normal oral mucosal(NOM)tissues was analyzed by Oncomine database.A total of 68 cases of OSCC and 30 cases of NOM tissues of non-cancer patients were collected.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of SRPX2 and Rab31 in the OSCC and NOM tissues.The correlation between the expression of SRPX2 and Rab31 as well as the relationship between their positive expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of OSCC patients were further analyzed. Results Based on the analysis of the Oncomine database, the expression of SRPX2 and RAB31 in OSCC tissues was higher than that in the NOM tissues.The expression of SRPX2 in OSCC tissues was higher than that in NOM tissues(0.6 % vs. 33.3 %,P<0.05).The expression of Rab31 in OSCC tissues was also higher than that in NOM tissues(66.2% vs. 40.0%,P<0.05).The expression of SRPX2 and Rab31 was significantly positively correlated in OSCC tissues(P<0.05).The expression of SRPX2 and Rab31 was also related to the degree of tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that SRPX2 and RAB31 were related to the poor prognosis of patients with OSCC. Conclusion The significant overexpression and correlation of SRPX2 and RAB31 suggest that SRPX2 and RAB31 can be combined as an important indicator and a new drug target for the prognosis evaluation of OSCC,bringing hope to the treatment of OSCC.

Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor.Surgical resection is the main method for the treatment of lung cancer.However,postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis may still occur after surgery.Propofol is the most commonly used intravenous general anesthetic.In recent years,more and more documents have shown that propofol can prolong the survival period of patients with lung cancer.In this paper,by searching relevant literature,it is concluded that propofol regulates a variety of signal pathways to play a direct anti-cancer effect by regulating microRNA(miRNA)and circular RNA(circRNA).Propofol promotes T cell differentiation,improves immunity,reduces inflammatory mediators and indirectly inhibits the activity of cancer cells.Propofol can also increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs and exert indirect anti-tumor effects.In addition,clinical trials have also confirmed that propofol may be closely related to the survival of cancer patients due to its anti-tumor properties.Therefore,the use of propofol intravenous general anesthesia in lung cancer surgery may be more suitable,but it still needs to be confirmed by large-scale prospective clinical trials.

As an emerging new technology,radiomics can be used to detect nodules,distinguish benign and malignant lesions,and even predict the histological stage and genotype of lesions.When it is applied to the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer,it can improve the accuracy of efficacy assessment and predict the risk of recurrence.Radiomics is expected to increasingly influence the clinical treatment practice of non-small cell lung cancer,and optimize the follow-up chain of end-to-end diagnosis and treatment.This article reviews the latest research status of radiomics for non-small cell lung cancer.
