[Characteristics and Driving Factors of Hydrochemical Evolution in Tuochangjiang River Basin, Western Guizhou Province].

Tuochangjiang River is a typical mining-type watershed in the karst mountainous area of western Guizhou province. The study of its hydrochemical evolution characteristics and driving factors is of great significance to the local economic development and the scientific management of water resources. The samples of river water, spring water, and mine water in the Tuochangjiang River Basin were collected, and the sources of solutes and their contribution to the chemical components of river water were discussed by means of hydrochemical diagrams, mathematical statistics, and the absolute principal component scores-multivariate linear regression model (APCS-MLR).

Long non-coding RNA PRNCR1 has an oncogenic role in breast cancer.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in the development and progression of various types of human cancer. However, the expression and function of the lncRNA prostate cancer-associated non-coding RNA 1 (PRNCR1) in breast cancer remains unclear. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed to measure the levels of mRNA expression.

Role of GSTP1 Ile105Val and XRCC1 Arg194Trp, Arg280His and Arg399Gln gene polymorphisms in the clinical outcome of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

We conducted a study to investigate the association between the clinical outcome and GSTP1 Ile105Val and XRCC1 Arg194Trp, Arg280His and Arg399Gln gene polymorphisms in advanced NSCLC patients with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Between January 2010 and December 2012, a total of 206 patients with advanced NSCLC were histopathologically confirmed were included into analysis. By logistic regression analysis, individuals carrying the AG and GG genotypes of GSTP1 Ile105Val were associated with better response to chemotherapy when compared with the AA genotype, and the adjusted Ors (95% CI) were 2.
