Hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HR + HER2 +) breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, accounting for about 10% of breast cancers. The molecular biological characteristics, therapeutic effect and prognosis of all subtypes have significant differences. This paper reviews the research progress of molecular biological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment condition and single-cell level in HR + HER2 + breast cancer from the perspective of heterogeneity.

Objective To study the proportion of cyclic vomiting syndrome(CVS) developing to migraine by the medium term prognosis,and explore the relationship between CVS and migraine.Methods Twenty-eight of 38 cases who had identified in our clinical records were traced ,each child was matched to a control,and they all conducted a telephone interview by a standardized question.Results Ninteen(46%) of the subject had continued CVS and(or) migraine,the prevalence of past or present migraine in subjects(46%)was significantly higher than that in control group(10.7%)(P=0.003).Conclusion The progonosis of CVS is closely related to migraine,many of the suffers of CVS tend to develop migraine.

Objective:To study the sealing effect of penetrating resin and fluid resin on the exposed dentin with self-etching and to-tal-etching methods,respectively.Methods:60 fresh extracted teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups(n =15).The enamel layer at the tooth neck was cut off,the dentin layer was exposed and adhered with penetrating resin Icon-Infiltration following Icon-Etch etching(group A),Icon-Infiltration following SE-Bond etching(group B),FiltekTMZ350X following SE-Bond etching(group C)and Prime &Bond NT combined with FiltekTMZ350XT following Gluma acid etching(group D),respectively.The morphological change of the dentin-resin interface was examined by the scanning electron microscope.The thickness of adhensive layer hybrid layer and the length of resin tag were measured.Data were statistically analysed.Results:Tight adhesion layer was observe in all groups.The hy-brid layer of the adhesive interface of group D was thicker than that of other groups(P <0.05);the resin tags in the dentin tubules of group A were longer than those of other groups(P <0.05);the bonding agent layer of group C was the thickest(P <0.05).Conclu-sion:The penetrating resin can form more effective protection layer on the exposed dentin surface and longer resin tags pernertrating in-to the dentin tubules than self-etch/total-etch bond system with fluid resin.

Object To investigate the chemical constituents of Epimedium koreanum Nakai.Methods Separation was performed by HPLC on a Merck LiChroCAR analytical column with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-water-acetic acid as gradient eluent at the flow rate of 1 mL/min, the UV detection was set at 270 nm and TIC was recorded by an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer in positive mode. Results Nine compounds were identified by HPLC-MS2. Conclusion The method is rapid and accurate to identify the chemical constituents of the natural product.

Objective To assess the effects of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and bipolar cord coagulation (BCC) on the prognosis and complication rate of complicated monochorionic twins.Methods A retrospective review was undertaken in 58 cases of complicated monochorionic twins treated with RFA or BCC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat Sen University,from January 2008 to August 2013.Non-parametric Wilcoxon test,Chi-square test,Fisher exact test or multi-variant Logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results Indications for selective termination in the 58 cases were:twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence in 12,severe twin to twin transfusion syndrome in 28,discordance of fetal anomalies in 10,selective intrauterine growth restriction in 7 and twin anemia-polycythemia sequence in 1.Forty-three cases were managed with BCC and 15 with RFA.Preterm labor was more common in the BCC group than in the RFA group [86.0％(37/43) vs 9/15,respectively; x2=4.598,P=0.032).Premature rupture of the membranes occurred in 48.8％(27/43) of the BCC group vs.4/15 of the RFA group (x2=2.229,P=0.135).The median procedure-todelivery time was 48 (1-150) days for the BCC group vs.101(14-138) days for the RFA group (Z=-2.245,P=0.025).Overall survival rate was 62.8％(27/43) in the BCC group vs 11/15 in the RFA group (x2=0.547,P=0.460),which was not significantly different.Neurodevelopmental delay was detected in two neonates in BCC group and in one neonate in RFA group.Logistic regression analysis showed that delivery before 28 gestational weeks was an independent risk factor for the poor prognosis of the co-twins (OR=192.720,95％CI:18.610-994.000,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Compared with BCC,RFA does not improve the prognosis of complicated monochorionic twins significantly.

Objective:To establish a lung cancer model of patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDTX) and to explore the relation-ship between primary cisplatin resistance and ERCC1 and IGFBP5 expression levels. Methods:Lung cancer tissues from 84 patients who underwent surgery were collected and implanted into nude mice. Patient characteristics for the first generation xenografts that were and were not engrafted were compared. Passage 3 xenografts were treated with cisplatin. The expression levels of ERCC1 and IGFBP5 in cisplatin-resistant and cisplatin-sensitive groups were detected using immunohistochemistry assay. Results:The model success rates were 32.14%(27/84) in first-generation xenografts, 88.89%(24/27) in second-generation xenografts, and 95.83%(23/24) in third-gener-ation xenografts. The tumorigenicity of first-generation xenografts was correlated with size, differentiation, clinical stage, and histologi-cal type. PDTX tumors maintain the histological type of parental tumors through serial passage in nude mice. ERCC1 expression level was significantly higher in the cisplatin-resistant group than in the cisplatin-sensitive group, whereas the IGFBP5 expression level was lower in the cisplatin-resistant group than in the cisplatin-sensitive group. Conclusion:Lung cancer PDTX models were successfully es-tablished, and histological characteristics of the primary cancers were retained. Therefore, the models may serve a function in preclini-cal research of lung tumor biology and for exploring the drug resistance mechanism of tumors. The cisplatin resistance of primary lung cancer may be correlated with the expression level of ERCC1 and IGFBP5 in lung carcinoma.

Objective To analyze the complications and short-term effects of laparoscopic surgery for achalasia.Methods The clinical data of 41 patients with achalasia who were treated by laparoscopic surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Results The 41 patients were no deaths.All patients underwent Heller cardiomyotomy and fundoplication,39 patients with Dor anterior fundoplication,2 patients had the presence of hiatal hernia with Toupet fundoplication.The mean surgical time was 142 min.Intraoperative complications occurred in 7 cases,including 6 cases of mild complications.The mean follow-up was 21 months.The clinical efficacy excellent in 27 cases,good in 7 cases,generally in 5 cases,poor in 2 cases.Conclusions Heller cardiomyotomy should be the treatment of choice in achalasia patients,because of its short and medium term outcomes,and its low morbidity.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of chemical shift imaging (CSI) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) for fat quantification in phantom model. Methods Eleven phantoms were made according to the volume percentage of fat ranging from 0 to 100% with an interval of 10% . The fat concentration in the phantoms were measured respectively by CSI and MRS and compared using one-sample t test The correlation between the two methods was also analyzed. The concentration of saturated fatty acids ( FS), unsaturated fatty acids (FU) and the polyunsaturation degree (PUD) were calculated by using MRS. Results The fat concentration was (48.0 ±1.0)%, (57.0 ±0.5)%, (67.3±0.6)%, (77.3 ±0.6)%, (83.3±0.6)% and (91.0±1.0)% respectively with fat volume of 50% to 100% by CSI. The fat concentration was (8.3 ±0.6)%, (16.3 ±0.7)%, (27.7 ±0.6)%, (36.0 ±1.0)%, (43.5±0. 6)% and (56. 5 ±1. 0)% respectively with fat volume of 10% to 60% by MRS, the fat concentration were underestimated by CSI and MRS (P < 0.05 ), and had high linear correlation with the real concentration in phantoms ( CSI: r = 0. 998, MRS: r = 0.996, P < 0.01 ) . There was also a linear correlation between two methods (r = 0. 992, P < 0. 01 ) but no statistically significant difference ( pairedsamples t test, t = -0. 125 ,P = 0.903). By using MRS, the relative ratio of FS and FU in fat were 0. 15and 0. 85, the PUD was 0. 0325, respectively, and highly consistent with these in phantoms. Conclusion Both CSI and MRS are efficient and accurate methods in fat quantification at 7.0 T MR.
