Objective:To study the clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognostic factors of triple negative breast cancer,and to study the correlation between clinicopathologic features and EGFR expression.Methods:Clinical characteristics and prognosis of 200 breast cancer patients diagnosed between 1997 and 2004 were reviewed.The paraffin embedded tissues were selected and tissue microarray blocks were made.Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of ER,PR and HER2 for breast cancer molecular type.EGFR expression was evaluated to analyze its correlation with the clinical characteristics and prognosis.Results:Fourty-two cases(21%)of 200 were triple negative breast cancer(TNBC).There was no significant difference between TNBC and non-TNBC in clinicopathologic parameters such as age,tumor size,clinical stage,and lymph node status.However,there was significant difference in histological category and menostasis status between the two groups(P<0.05).Among TNBC,17 0f 42 died during the follow-up(the overall suivival rate was 59.52%),while 26 0f 158 non-TNBC died(the overall survival rate was 83.54%).EGFR was significantly overexpressed in TNBC(69.05%)and it was associated with lymph node status and histological category.Conclusion:Although the incidence of TNBC is low,it has a poorer prognosis than other subtypes.EGFR is highly expressed in TNBC and may serve as a prognostic index and an important therapatic target for breast cancer.

Objective To explore the effects and indications of physical cooling in fever patients after bone fracture surgery.Methods 450 fever patients after bone fracture surgery were selected.They were divided into different groups according to ~e main influencing factors which affected the effect of physical cooling,including the temperature of sponge bathing,the degree of fever,clinical phases of fever.The influence of above factors on physical cooling was observed.Results The temperature for sponge bathing maintaining at 38~40 ℃(the experimental group) achieved better results than that at 32~34 ℃(the control group).Physical cooling at constant peak period of fever had better effect than that during the fervescence period,and the effect of sponge bathing treatment was better in mild fever patients than in high fever patients.Conclusions The single physical hypothermia only fit the patients following bone fracture surgery who had a fever below 38.5 ℃.Patients who had an infectious high fever should receive drug combination.Temperature of sponge bathing maintaining at 38~40 ℃,bathing timing at constant peak period of fever may get best cooling effect.
