Objective:To investigate the clinical, pathological, and prognostic characteristics of luminal B breast cancer patients with diabetes. Methods:A total of 479 luminal B breast cancer patients with diabetes and 3 392 luminal B breast cancer patients without diabetes who were treated between January 2002 and December 2006 were enrolled in this study. The luminal B breast cancer patients were further divided into the luminal B (high ki67) and luminal B (Her-2/neu+) subgroups. Each subgroup was further grouped into metformin-treated, non-metformin-treated, and non-diabetic groups. The indicators included cancer-specific mortality, clinical, pathological stage, lymph node status, chemotherapy, and endocrine therapy. The survival analysis of each group was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the significance was determined using the logrank test. Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the correlation between each factor and the prognosis. Results:The Kaplan-Meier analysis results revealed that the breast cancer mortality rates in the metformin-treated, non-metformin-treated, and non-diabetic groups were significantly different in both luminal B (high ki67) and luminal B (Her-2/neu+) subgroups (logrank test:P<0.001, P=0.035), and the respective five-year survival rates were 93.5%, 81%, and 89%for the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup and 84%, 77%, and 83%for the luminal B (Her-2/neu+) subgroup. The Cox multifactorial regression analysis results showed that compared with the metformin-treated group, the non-metformin-treated group was associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality (P<0.001, P=0.044) in the two subgroups. Meanwhile, the non-diabetic group was associated with an increased risk of mortality (P=0.038) in the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup only. The percentage of elderly (P<0.001), menopausal (P<0.001), obese (P<0.001), and patients with cardio-cerebrovascular complications (P<0.001) tended to be higher in the metformin-treated and non-metformin-treated groups than in the diabetic group. Moreover, the metformin-and non-metformin-treated groups in the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup were associated with high percentages of T3/4 pathological stage (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (P=0.001). The non-metformin-treated group was associated with a lower percentage of invasive ductal carcinoma (P=0.001) compared with the other two groups. Conclusion:The non-metformin-treated group resulted in worse clinical outcomes in both subgroups compared with the metformin-treated group. Meanwhile, the non-diabetic group resulted in the worst prognosis among the three groups in the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup. These findings suggest that the choice of different anti-diabetic drugs may influence the prognosis of luminal B breast cancer patients with diabetes.

Corneal transplantation has been considered a primary method for treatment of keratopathy. Corneal transptantation would bring immunological rejection although cornea belongs to an immune-privileged tissue owing to no vessels and lymphatic vessels. Immunological rejection is highly likely to occur in keratopathy patients who undergo large sizes of corneal transplantation or present with newly formed vessels in the center of implant. Many patients have to replace other implants because of immunological rejection. But severer immunological rejection caused by several corneal transplantations as well as rare donor source can not satisfy patients' requirement. Therefore, much attention has been paid to studies regarding drugs for immunologic protection following surgery. There have been many clinical studies confirming that the principle drugs against immunologic rejection, such as glucocorticoid and ciclosporin A, can not acquire satisfactory curative effects and concomitantly bring many adverse reactions. For this reason, many new immunosuppressive agents should be investigated. The method of drug combination has become an important research project for keratopathy physicians.
