Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of the resection of the primary lesion on the prognosis for patients with stage Ⅳ breast cancer. Methods: A total of 132 breast cancer patients who were first diagnosed as stage Ⅳ in the Hebei Cancer Hospital from June 2008 to June 2015 were divided into two groups: the primary resection group (n=85) and the unresection group (n=47). The influences of primary resection, timing of operation, lymph node removal or dissection and radiotherapy on the prognosis of stage Ⅳ breast cancer patients were analyzed. Results: Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that visceral metastasis was an independent influencing factor for primary lesion resection in stage Ⅳ breast cancer patients (OR=2.590, 95% CI: 1.090-6.159). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that primary resection was an independent factor for the improvement of prognosis in stage Ⅳ breast cancer patients (OR=0.582, 95% CI: 0.400-0.847). The median overall survival (OS) was 37.20 months in the resection group, which was higher than 24.10 months in the unresection group (χ(2)=8.108, P=0.004). Among patients aged ≥50 years old, the median OS was 39.30 months in the resection group and 23.03 months in the unresection group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ(2)=14.191, P<0.001). The median OS was 38.00 months in the 66 patients with the operation time from diagnosis to resection of primary lesion<6 months (n=66), and 35.20 months for ≥6 months (n=19) (χ(2)=4.430, P=0.035), the difference was statistically significant (χ(2)=4.430, P=0.035). The median OR of axillary lymph node dissection and axillary lymph node excision group were 45.37 months and 33.44 months, respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ(2)=7.832, P=0.005). The median OS of postoperative radiotherapy group and non-radiotherapy group were 44.80 months and 33.20 months, respectively, the difference was not statistically significant (χ(2)=2.950, P=0.086). Conclusion: Resection of the primary lesion may prolong the survival time of some advanced breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety, efficacy and prognostic factors of S-1 versus capecitabine in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC). Methods: From January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014, 154 ABC patients with pathological diagnosis were separated into two groups: S-1 with or without the 3rd generation chemotherapy drug (group S-1) and capecitabine with or without the 3rd generation chemotherapy drug (Group capecitabine). The efficacy, side effects and prognostic factors were compared between the two groups. Results: There were 70 patients in group S-1 and 84 patients in group capecitabine. The objective response rates (ORR) were 31.4% (22/70) in group S-1 and 28.6% (24/84) in group capecitabine. The disease control rates (DCR) were 74.3% (52/70) and 83.3% (70/84), respectively. There were no significant differences in DCR and ORR between two groups (P>0.05). The DCR of patients treated with capecitabine monotherapy was significantly higher than that of S-1 monotherapy [94.4%(17/18) and 64.0%(16/25), P=0.028]. The median PFS was 7.5 and 8.9 months for the patients in the group S-1 and group capecitabine, with no statistically significant difference (P=0.423). The 1-year survival rates of group S-1 and group capecitabine were 81.4% and 66.7%, respectively, with no significant differences(P=0.020). Univariate analysis showed that ER and/or PR status (P=0.004), T stage (P=0.041), and molecular typing (P=0.046) were associated with PFS. Multivariate analysis showed ER and/or PR status (P=0.034) was an independent prognostic factor related with PFS. The incidence of hemoglobin reduction was 14.3% (10/70) and 36.9% (31/84) in the group S-1 and group capecitabine, and the differences were statistically significant (P=0.002). There was no significant difference in the incidence of leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and hand-foot syndrome between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions: S-1 and capecitabine are both effective for advanced breast cancer. Neither ORR nor DCR were significantly different between these two groups. The incidence of gastrointestinal reactions and thrombocytopenia of S-1 was slightly lower than that of capecitabine.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and clinical significance of the obesity-associated gene STEAP4 in obese children. Fifty-three obese children and 33 children with a standard body weight (control) from our hospital were recruited to this study. The expression of STEAP4 mRNA and protein in the adipose tissue were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively, in order to analyze the relationship between STEAP4 mRNA and protein levels and blood pressure, blood lipid profile, blood glucose levels, and inflammation in obese children. Obese children showed significantly lower levels of STEAP4 mRNA and protein in the adipose tissue compared to the control subjects (P < 0.05). The obese subjects exhibited significantly higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels, and a significantly lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level, compared to the control subjects (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that STEAP4 expression was negatively correlated with the DBP, SBP, TC, TG, LDL, FPG, IL-6, and TNF-α levels, and was positively correlated with the HDL level (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the expression of STEAP4 was significantly downregulated in the adipose tissue of obese children and was closely related to the blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, and inflammation in these patients; therefore, these results could provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of childhood obesity.

Abstract
Previous studies have conflicting views on the effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/PDGF receptor (PDGFR) signaling on osteogenesis. The current study investigated the effect of PDGF receptor-beta (PDGFR-β) inhibition by AG-1295 on the osteogenic differentiation of the mouse pre-osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1. Osteogenic differentiation was induced by treatment with β-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone along with or absent AG-1295. Results showed that AG-1295 significantly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and enhanced the formation of mineralized nodules in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, treatment with AG-1295 resulted in up-regulated mRNA expression of the osteogenic marker genes collagen type I (Col1A), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (Osx), tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (Tnap), and osteocalcin (Ocn). Consistent with its effect on osteoblast differentiation, AG-1295 also significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 in MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, findings suggest that blocking the PDGFR-β pathway with AG1295 markedly promotes osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and that the Erk1/2 pathway might participate in this process.

Abstract
We examined the importance of the coadministration of bone marrow (BM) stromal cells with BM cells via the portal vein. A significant increase in the number of day-14 colony-forming unit-spleen (CFU-S) was observed in the recipient mice injected with hemopoietic stem cells (HSCs) along with donor BM stromal cells obtained after three to four weeks of culture. Histological examination revealed that hematopoietic colonies composed of both donor hemopoietic cells and stromal cells coexist in the liver of these mice. However, when donor HSCs plus BM stromal cells were administered i.v., neither the stimulatory effects on CFU-S formation nor the hemopoietic colonies in the recipient liver were observed. These findings suggest that the interaction of HSCs with stromal cells in the liver is the first crucial step for successful engraftment of allogeneic HSCs. It is likely that donor stromal cells and HSCs trapped in the liver migrate into the recipient BM and spleen, where they form CFU-BM and CFU-S, respectively.

Abstract
The present study was designed to assess whether changes in glycolipids and cyclic AMP contents might serve as markers for the diagnosis of malignancy in the liver. The experimental model was a transplantable murine hepatoma. Experimental mice were divided into three groups: (1) a therapeutic group, which had been transplanted with hepatoma and treated with the antimetabolism drug 5-fluorouracil (0.2 mg/day i.p.), (2) a control group, which had been transplanted with hepatoma and treated with 0.2 ml 0.9% NaCl/day and (3) a normal group of mice. The ganglioside and cAMP contents in the hepatoma tissue, plasma cAMP, total- and lipid-bound sialic acid levels and red blood cell membrane sialic acid levels were determined. Results showed that the ganglioside content, total and lipid-bound sialic acid levels in the control group were significantly higher than those in the livers of normal mice (p < 0.01) while these respective values in the therapeutic group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.01). The cAMP levels of tumor tissues and plasma in the control group were lower than those in normal mice. No significant difference in red blood cell membrane sialic acid content was observed between the therapeutic and control groups though levels for both were higher than those in normal mice. These results indicate that ganglioside content and sialic acid levels in hepatoma tissues were significantly elevated, and cAMP levels in hepatoma tissues were significantly decreased during proliferation and abnormal differentiation.

Abstract
Forty-five patients with class IV cardiac function were divided into three groups: group I (digoxin group), group II (Red Ginseng group) and group III (Red Ginseng plus digoxin group). Each group consisted of 15 cases. After treatment, the improvement of the hemodynamical and biochemical indexes of group II and group III were greater than those of group I, and group III was the most significant amongst all. The results suggested that Red Ginseng and digoxin had synergism for treatment of congestive heart failure, and Red Ginseng was an effective and safe adjuvant without any side effects.
