Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) in primary breast carcinoma and to determine whether such expression can predict survival. Methods: Expression of BCRP in 60 breast cancer patients was determined by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor section. The relationship between the expression of BCRP with the clinicphathological characteristics and the prognosis of breast cancer patients were also analyzed. Results: ①BCRP expression was observed in 21 of 60 (35%) cases.② BCRP expression was more frequently observed in patients with lymph node metastasis or hormone receptor (P 0. 05) .③Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that BCRP expression associated only with disease-free survival (DFS) (P 0. 05) . ④In univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and estrogen receptor (ER) was associated with DFS and OS (P

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of oral drugs associated with acupuncture on peripheral nervous lesions of diabetes mellitus.Methods60 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral nervous lesions were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Patients of the treatment group were treated with oral drugs and acupuncture, but cases of control group were only taking oral drugs.ResultsThe effective rate of the treatment group was 86.67% higher than that of the control group (43.33%)(P<0.01).ConclusionDrugs associated with acupuncture has a good effect on peripheral nervous lesions of diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To establish a new method and limit of detection for Flavonoids content in Fructus Crataegi. Methods: Flavonoids in Fructus Crataegi in 10 regions was determined by colorimetry. Results: Content of Flavonoids in samples selected from 10 regions ranged 0.84%～3.62%. Content of hyperoside by colorimetry is correlative to that by HPLC. Conclusion: The method is simple, quick and reproducible. Flavonoid content in Fructus Crataegi was designed no less than 1.0%, extraction must be performed under 60?C and dried to constant weight for 6 hours.

Objective: To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of icariin in Bushenning Capsules. Methods: The sample was prepared by water extraction-purfication through polyamide column. The determination was carried out on C 18 ODS column with mobile phase of acetonirile-water (23∶77), and detection wavelength at 270nm according to the external standard method.Results: The icariin sample size showed a good linear relationship at the range of 0.12-1.91ug and correlation coefficient was 0.9999. The average recovery of the added sample was 99.21%(n=5) and RSD was 1.79%. The RSD in a duplicate test was 2.18%.Conclusion: The method is simple, accurate, reproducibe and can be used for content determination of icariin of icariin of Bushenning Capsules.

ObjectiveTo study the role of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) using the anterior approach with sequential layered dissection. MethodsFrom December 2007 to July 2009, we performed 27 LS using the anterior approach with sequential layered dissection. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe range of splenic length was 8-20 cm. Accessory spleen was found in 6 patients (22.2%). The mean operative time was 125 mins. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 90 ml, and the mean postoperative stay was 5.5 days. ConclusionsLaparoscopic splenectomy using the anterior approach with sequential layered dissection could be carried out smoothly and rapidly. It reduced accidental injuries and shortened the operative time.

Objective To discuss the operative efficacy of anterior- and postero-decompression plus pedicle screw instrumentation through posterior approach in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. MethodsFrom February 2006 to November 2009,28 patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture and spinal cord injury were treated with anterior-and postero-decompression plus pedicle screw instrumenattion through posterior approach.They were 19 men and 9 women,21 to 52 years of age (average,35.6 years).The fractures happened at T11 in 3 cases,at T12 in 11 cases,at L1 in 9 cases and at L2 in 5 cases.By AO classification,there were 16 cases of type A3,7 cases of type B and 5 cases of type C.By the ASIA(American Spinal Injury Association) system,6 cases were rated as grade A,12 cases as grade B and 10 cases as grade C. Bone grafting was performed according to different conditions of the patients.Results The patients were followed for 12 months to 24 months,with an average of 14 months.The X-ray examinations showed that the mean anterior border height of the injured vertebrae recovered from46.8％ ± 18.3％ of the normal height before operation to 90.3％ ± 14.2％ postoperatively; the mean posterior border height recovered from preoperative 80.4％ ± 12.4％ to postoperative 94.2％ ± 15.1％ ; and the mean cobb angle decreased from preoperative 20.1°± 11.5° to postoperative 2.7°± 2.4°. The differences between preoperation and postoperation were significant(P ＜ 0.05).According to the ASIA evaluation system,neurofunctional recovery was achieved in the cases of incomplete paralysis except in the 6 eases who had had complete spinal cord injury of Grade A. Conclusion Anterior- and posterro-decompression plus pediclescrew instrumentation through posterior approach is an effective method of treating thoracolumbar burst fractures.

Objective:To explore th five year survivals and some prognostic factors for bres at cancer patients in the north areas of China,and the indentification or differ e nces on these variables among breast cancer patients between in China and in Can ada.Methods:All Data were collected from the hospital records of 1 002 breast cancer patients who were initially treated at the First Hospital of Jilin Uni versity (116 cases FTH,Changchun China) and the Sain t-Sacrement Hospital (886 cases in SSH,Quebec Canada) respectively by use of Historical Cohort survey,and the survival propotions were calculated and comp ared stradly by use of Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Age at diagnosis was substantially lower (average of age about 10 years less) among breast cancer patients seen at FTH compared to those treated at SSH (P<0.0001).Patients in the two hospitals differed in respect to tumor size at pathology (P=0.036).The proportion of women with lymph node involvement was greater at FTH (61.1%) than that at HSS(37.3%)(P<0.0001).Surgical treat ment of breats cancer was varied considerably:the radical mastectomy was frequen tly performed for andy stage of breast cancer patients in Changchun,but the part ial mastectomy was mainly used for patients with stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ in Quebec.The fi ve year survival was 74.2% among breast cacer patients seen at FTH compared to 7 6.3% among women treated at HSS,and there was no singnificant differrence (P =0.302). Conclusion:Five year survival of breast cancer patients treated surgically in C hangchun,China,was similar to that of patients treated surgically in Quebec,Can ada except for differences in age at diagnosis,tumor size and lymph node involve ment
