Objective:To investigate the ultrasonographic characteristics and risk factors of breast cancer internal mammary lymph node (IMLN) metastasis.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 296 first diagnosed breast cancer patients in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2010 to May 2020. IMLN was divided into metastatic group (236 cases) and non-metastatic group (60 cases) based on pathology. Chi-square test and independent sample t test were used to analyze the ultrasound characteristics of IMLN metastasis and factors related to metastasis. ROC curve analysis of IMLNs were plotted to obtain the diagnostic thresholds and their sensitivity and specificity.Univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of IMLN metastasis. Results:①The appearances of IMLN in ultrasound were normal type, thickened-cortex type, unclear hilus structure type and thickened-nodular soft tissue type. ②In the two groups, the differences in IMLN long diameter, thickness diameter, number, and lymphatic hilum structure type were statistically significant (all P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in IMLN long diameter/thickness diameter and IMLN blood supply (all P>0.05). ③The long diameter threshold of IMLN for diagnosis of metastasis was 10.5 mm, the are under the ROC curve(AUC) was 0.825, with sensitivity of 58.5% and specificity 93.3%; thickness and diameter threshold was 4.5 mm, AUC was 0.790, with sensitivity 66.9% and specificity 75.0%. The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of long-diameter combined structure type were 56.3% and 93.3%, respectively; the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of thick-diameter combined structure type were 64.8% and 81.7%, respectively. The cortical thickness threshold was 1.9 mm, and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 91.9% and 86.7%, respectively. ④The risk factors of IMLN metastasis inculded univariate analysis showed tumor length, tumor volume, axillary lymph node long diameter, axillary lymph node metastasis, and clavicle lymph node metastasis. There was a statistically significant difference in the pathology of the lower lymph nodes between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the long diameter of the tumor and the metastasis of the axillary lymph nodes were independent risk factors of IMLN metastasis. Conclusions:The metastatic IMLN mostly manifest as no lymphatic hilum structure or cortical thickening (≥1.9 mm), and multiple IMLN can help diagnose metastasis.Ultrasound can better assess breast cancer IMLN metastasis, and the diagnostic efficiency of IMLN long-diameter combines structure type is higher.Independent risk factors for IMLN metastasis include tumor size and axillary lymph node metastasis.

Rapid detection and classification of bacteria colonies ( Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogens and Staphylococcus aureus) were investigated by using hyperspectral imaging. The hyperspectral reflectance images (390-1040 nm ) of bacterial colonies on agar plates were collected. Bacterial spectra were extracted automatically based on the masks produced by segmenting a band difference image using the OTSU method. Full wavelength and simplified PLS-DA models were established for classification of bacterial colonies. For the full wavelength model, the overall correct classification rate ( OCCR) and confident OCCR for the prediction set were 100% and 95. 9%, respectively. Besides, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling ( CARS), genetic algorithm ( GA ) and least angle regression-least absolute shrinkage and selection operator ( LARS-Lasso) were used to select feature wavelengths for the development of simplified models. Among them, the CARS-model outperformed the other two in terms of precision, stability and classification accuracy with OCCR and confident OCCR of 100% and 98. 0% for the prediction set, respectively. It was demonstrated that hyperspectral imaging was an effective technology for nondestructive detection of bacterial colonies with high accuracy and high speed. The allocated feature wavelengths by CARS could lay theoretical basis for developing low cost multispectral imaging systems for bacterial colony detection.

Objective To investigate the expressions and the relationship of FEZ1 and p16 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).Methods The expressions of FEZ1 and p16 in 93 cases of CIN and 10 cases of normal cervical specimens were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rates of FEZ 1 were 90.0％ (9/10) of normal cervical specimens,67.9％ (19/28) of CIN I,36.0％ (9/25) of CIN Ⅱ,22.5％(9/40) of CIN Ⅲ.The positive expression rates of p16 were 10.0％(1/10) of normal cervical specimens,32.1％(9/28) of CIN I,76.0％(19/25) of CIN Ⅱ,92.5％(37/40) of CIN Ⅲ.There were significant differences in the positive expression rates of FEZ1 and p16 between CIN Ⅰ and CIN Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.01),there was no significant difference in the positive expression rates of FEZ1 and p16 between CIN Ⅱ and CIN Ⅲ.The expression of FEZ1 and p16 was negatively correlation in CIN (r =-0.712,P＜ 0.01).Conclusion The abnormal high expression of p16 and abnormal low expression of FEZ1 in CIN may be involved in the occurrence and development of CIN,detecting the expressions of the two indexes may be helpful for clinical diagnosis.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have demonstrated that transplantation of control ed release glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived neuron-like cells can effectively promote the motor function and sensory function recovery of rhesus monkeys with spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE:To validate whether co-transplantation of control ed release glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived neuron-like cells exhibits better protective effects on spinal cord glial scar of rhesus monkeys with spinal cord injury than celltransplantation alone.
METHODS:Twelve rhesus monkeys were col ected to prepare animal models of acute severe spinal cord injury using modified Al en’s method, and then randomly divided into three groups:experimental group, co-transplantation of control ed release glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived neuron-like cells;control group, simple transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived neuron-like cells;blank control group, PBS. After 5 months, paraffin specimens of the spinal cord were made for detection of morphological and compositional characteristics of glial scar, regeneration of nerve fibers in the scar, glial scar area, and average absorbance of glial fibril ary acidic protein.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Glial scar in the injured spinal cord was composed of astrocytes and histocytes. Less spinal cord glial scar area and lower absorbance value could be observed in the experimental and control groups as compared with the blank control group (P<0.05). In addition, in the blank control group, neurofilament negative fibers could be observed in the glial scar, and astrocytes proliferated obviously. The experimental and control groups showed less fibers passed through the scar area. The glial scar area and average absorbance in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). These findings suggest that compared with simple transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived neuron-like cells, co-transplantation of control ed release glial cellline-derived neurotrophic factor and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived neuron-like cells shows better protective effects spinal tissue structure after spinal cord injury, which may be one of mechanisms by which the number of glial scars is reduced to a greater extent.

PurposeTo evaluate left ventricular function in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI).Materials and Methods Twenty-eight patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM group) and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) underwent both conventional two-dimensional echocardiography and 3D-STI. Indexes of conventional echocardiography including interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall at end-diastolic thickness (LVPWT), left ventricular diameter, left ventricular volume, end-systolic left ventricular volume, peak velocity of early diastolic mitral valve, peak diastolic of late diastolic mitral valve, outflow tract frequency spectrum of the aortic valve and left ventricular were compared between the two groups to get the pressure difference and velocity time integral of the left ventricular outflow tract. Early and late diastolic peak velocity of mitral annular were calculated and E/A, Ea/Aa, E/Ea were also obtained. 3D-STI indicators including three-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction (3D-LVEF), sphericity index (SPI) and global area of strain (GAS), global longitudinal train (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS) were also compared.Results In HCM group, IVST, LVPWT and E/Ea increased (P<0.01), Ea/Aa and E/A decreased significantly (P<0.01), LVOT-PG and LVOT-VTI increased significantly (P<0.05 orP<0.01). GCS, GAS, GLS and GRS were significant lower in HCM group than those in control group (P<0.01). Local strain values at the level of papillary muscle and apex were decreased, which were significantly decreased at ventricular septum, anterior wall and inferior wall.Conclusion HCM patients have various degree of decreased myocardial contractility. The real time 3D-STI offers a novel way to assess the left ventricular function of patients with HCM.
