Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of interventional therapy for left iliac vein compression syndrome (LICS). Methods A total of 27 patients with LICS that were diagnosed by colour Doppler or venography,were included in this study. Among the cases,the disease course was shorter than 3 weeks in 13 patients,who presented with acute iliac-femoral vein thrombosis; in the other 14 patients,the disease course was longer than 3 weeks,showing the symptoms of chronic venous thrombosis. Venous puncture was performed via the contralateral femoral vein in 13 cases,and through the ipsilateral popliteal vein in 14. Venous filter was placed in 11 cases before thrombolysis,while in the other 16 cases,no filter was used. All of the patients received catheter-directed thrombolysis,afterwards,7 of them underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty,and the other 20 received angioplasty plus stent placement. Results In the 13 patients,who received venous puncture via the contralateral femoral approach,the guide wire could advance through the stenosis successfully in 8 patients but failed in 5. Ipsilateral popliteal vein puncture were then employed and succeeded in all the patients. Ipsilateral popliteal puncture were performed successfully in 14 patients. In 11 patients,inferior vena cava filter was placed before the procedure. In this series,the thrombolysis time was (85?16) h with a dose of (3000?320) thousand units urokinase. The thrombosis was dissolved completely in 13 acute patients and partial dissolution was attained in 14 patients in whom blood flow signal were detected color Doppler. After the operation,venogram showed complete patent iliac veins in all of the 27 cases. The patients were followed up for 6 to 26 months (mean,11 months). During the period,19 patients obtained patent iliac-femoral vein with the symptoms disappeared; 8 patients met the standard of improvement. Conclusions Interventional technique can be the first-line treatment for left iliac vein compression syndrome because of its favorable result and minimal invasion.

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

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of Tongyushu capsules on dysmenorrhea. Methods:With the intravenous injection of oxytocin in rats, the influence of Tongyushu capsules on rat uterine smooth muscle was observed in vivo. With the intraper-itoneal injection of oxytocin to replicate the mouse model of dysmenorrhea, the effect of Tongyushu capsules on dysmenorrhea was ob-served. Using acetic acid writhing method, the effect of relieving pain Tongyushu capsules in mice was observed. By the method of ear swelling induced by xylene in mice, the anti-inflammatory effect of Tongyushu capsules was observed. By the method of ice water bath and subcutaneous injection of adrenaline, the influence of Tongyushu capsules on the acute blood stasis model in rats was observed.

Objective A rat model of chronic post-thoracotomy pain is used to study whether acute pain and pre-operative diffused noxious inhibitory controls(DNIC) can predict chronic pain and how DNIC changes when pain maintains.Methods Rats were randomly divided into three groups:naive group,sham group and model group.DNIC was constantly assessed in individual rats,along with each animal's mechanical hyperalgesia and cold allodynia after thoracotomy.Results In model group,the incidence of chronic post-thoracotomy pain was 55%(11 of 20),which was named CPTP group,and the other 9 rats without chronic pain was defined as non-CPTP group.The pre-operative DNIC was significantly weaker in CPTP group with lower mechanical threshold on 6 days after surgery and higher cold sensitivity on 6 days after surgery comparing with non-CPTP group.In the acute pain phase (day 3),DNIC was decreased in both CPTP group and non-CPTP group as compared with pre-operative period.Besides,DNIC was recovered in non-CPTP group while kept impaired in CPTP group on 21 days after surgery.Conclusions Pre-operatively assessed DNIC efficiency and acute post-operative pain intensity were two independent predictors for CPTP.DNIC was decreased both in acute pain and chronic state,while returned to normal when pain sense was normal.

Purpose To investigate the expression of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in breast cancer tumor cells and stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (sTIL),and to study the relationship between the expression of PD-L1 and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients.Method The protein expression of PD-L1 was detected by immunohistochemistry of EliVision two-step method in 68 cases of non special type of invasive breast cancer,and the relationship between the expression of PD-L1 protein and the immunohistochemistry subtypes and clinical parameters was analyzed.Results The total expression rate of PD-L1 was 35.3％ in breast tumor tissue,specially in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) which occupy the highest positive rate.The expression rates of PD-L1 in tumor tissue of the luminal subtype,HER-2 over-expression subtype and TNBC subtype were 16.1％,37.5％ and 61.9％ respectively,and the difference was statistically significant.The total expression rate of PD-L1 in sTIL was 51.5％,and the highest expression rate was 81.0％ in TNBC.There were significant differences of PD-L1 expression in sTIL of the luminal subtype,HER-2 over-expression subtype and TNBC subtype.Expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissue and sTIL had a significant positive correlation.Conclusion PD-L1 expressed in TNBC was significantly higher than other types of breast cancer,which suggest the blocking of signal pathway of PD-1/PD-L1 may expected to become a new immunotherapy for breast cancer,especially for TNBC subtype.
