Objective To analyse the breast conserving surgery feasibility in patients with advanced breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods Sixty patients with advanced breast cancer were collect-ed from June 2010 to June 2011, and were divided into breast conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and modified radical mastectomy group according to the intention,30 cases in each group.They were given breast conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and modified radical mastectomy respectively,with fol-lowing-up for 3 years.The treatment effect and contrast analysis of two groups of breast cancer CTCs positive of the two groups were compared,two groups of late follow-up of patients with local recurrence and distant metasta-sis rate,overall survival and disease free survival rate were recorded.Results Compared with the modified radi-cal mastectomy group,CTCs detection rate in breast conserving surgery group had no statistical differences(P>0.05).Two groups of patients in clinical complete remission rate,partial remission rate,disease stability factor and local recurrence and distant metastasis rate,overall survival and disease free survival rate had no statistical significances(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of breast conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemother-apy for patients with advanced breast cancer can achieve similar effect as modified radical mastectomy surgery treatment,and can be used as a effective treatment for advanced breast cancer.

AIM To investigate the effect of Icarrin on penile erection and cyclic GMP levels in rabbit corpus cavernosum(RCC). METHODS Effects of various concentration of Icariin on cGMP level in RCC were measured by 125 I radioimmunoassay procedure with Sildenafil and papaverine as the positive controls RESULTS In the presence of SNP, Icariin increased cGMP concentration in rabbit corpus cavernosum in a dose dependent manner ( P

This paper reported that the activation of oncogenes in human fetal esopha geal epithelium treated by alternariol (AOH). It was found that NIH/3T3 cells were transformed via transfeetion of DNA extracted from human fetal esophageal epithelium which was cultured and treated by 10?g/ml AOH in a short term in vitro. The efficiency of primary loci was 0.17 focus per ?g of DNA. In the secondary transfection, the efficiency was 0.58 focus per ?g of DNA (P

The aim of this study was to establish a high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the determination of 5-(4′-(bromomethyl)-［1, 1′-biphenyl］-2-yl)- 1H-tetrazole(BBT1)and 5-(4′-(dibromomethyl)-［1, 1′-biphenyl］-2-yl)-1H-tetrazole(BBT2), which are two genotoxic impurities in olmesartan medoxomil. Chromatographic separation was based on an Agilent Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18(250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm)column using water(containing 0. 1% formic acid)- acetonitrile as mobile phase in gradient elution mode. Mass spectrometry was operated in positive ion mode. Selective ion monitors were set at m/z 315 for BBT1 and at m/z 395 for BBT2. Good linear correlations were observed in the range of 0. 009 4- 0. 561 0 μg/mL(r=0. 998)with the quantification limit at 9. 35 ng/mL and the detection limit at 3. 12 ng/mL for BBT1, and in the range of 0. 018 2- 0. 547 5 μg/mL(r=0. 999)with the quantification limit at 18. 25 ng/mL and the detection limit at 6. 08 ng/mL for BBT2. Furthermore, the average recoveries of the three spiked concentration level were 96. 5%(n=9, RSD=4. 8%)and 98. 0%(n=9, RSD=5. 1%)for BBT1 and BBT2, respectively. The proposed method is simple, specific and accurate, and quite suitable for the determination of BBT1 and BBT2 in olmesartan medoxomil.
