Objective To analyze imageology appearance and clinical characteristics of the cystic and solid breast carcinoma.Methods Features of MRI and B-type ultrasonic inspection of 26 patients with the cystic and solid breast carcinoma pathologically confirmed (15 patients with mucinous carcinoma,6 patients with intracystic papillary carcinoma,5 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the breast) were retrospectively reviewed.Results In terms of clinical appearance,the incidence of the squamous cell breast carcinoma with an average age of 70.1 years old was larger than in youth,while mucinous carcinoma with an average age of 67.7 years old and intracystic carcinoma of breast with an average age of 55.1 years old were contrary.The squamous cell breast carcinoma developed more quickly than mucinous carcinoma and intracystic carcinoma of breast.The squamous cell breast carcinoma often occurred around mammilla (4/5),while the mucinous carcinoma and intracystic papillary carcinoma often occurred upper outer quadrant of breast,which was similar with other breast cancer.The average size of 49.6 mm in the squamous cell breast carcinoma was largest than the average size of 25.1 mm in mucinous carcinoma and the average size of 35.2 mm in intracystic papillary carcinoma.The malignant degree of squamous cell breast carcinoma was higher than mucinous carcinoma and intracystic papillary carcinoma,which intended to occur lymph node metastasis and skin infiltration.The diagnosis probability of mucinous carcinoma was smaller than intracystic papillary carcinoma through preoperative puncture,while squamous cell breast carcinoma was larger.On the MRI imageology appearance,both types of breast cancer had the same shape of rotundity or lobulated.The tumors were low signal on T1WI and partially high signal on T2WI,which were circular enhancement after enhancement.However,the edge of mucinous carcinoma and squamous cell breast carcinoma was rougher than intracystic papillary carcinoma compared with squamous cell breast carcinoma.The bursa wall of mucinous carcinoma was more uniformity,while papillary soft tissue image can be found in intracystic papillary carcinoma,which was enhanced significantly after enhancement.In terms of ultrasonic sound (US),there were low echo signal and high echo signal on the back of tumor compared with other breast tumor.There were shadow beside mucinous carcinoma.Squamous cell breast carcinoma was rich in blood supply,while mucinous carcinoma and intracystic papillary carcinoma were opposite.Conclusion Histological type of cystic and solid breast carcinoma is complex,but the appearances of MRI and US have some characteristics.Histological type and the range of disease could be guessed through the combination of preoperative puncture and clinical appearance,which plays an important role in operation mode and treatment guidance.

ObjectiveTo analyze the imageology appearance and clinical characteristics of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast.MethodsFeatures of MRI(4 patients)and B-type ultrasonic inspection(5 patients)of nine patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast pathologically confirmed were retrospectively reviewed. Compared with postoperative pathological appearance, the correlation between imageology appearance and clinical, pathological characteristics was analyzed. ResultsImageology appearance:In MRI:The tumor diameter was around 50 mm;The tumors were located at nearby papillae;There were two patients with pachymenia at the same time;The tumor margin was unclear,which has clear tumor wall structure and heterogeneous pachymenia,and without corpora mammillaria shadow which was toward interior;The tumors were low signal on T1WI and partially high signal on T2WI;The image with enhancement scanning showed that parenchymatous part of tumor were enhanced,while enhancements were not obviously at the centre of tumor with necrosis.In B-type ultrasonic inspection:The average diameter of tumors was around 40 mm, there were NT=0 mm in 4 cases. NT=19 mum in 1 case. The tumors presented as shape of clump or sublobe,which had unclear margin and high echoic region behind the tumor.There were also normal echo at the tumor lateral in 2 cases at the same time,and 4 cases showed blood supply was abundant, and 2 cases showed that there were colliquation and necrosis which had cystic hypoechoic signal at the tumor interior.MMG:There were class-4 in 2 cases,and Class-3 in 1 case.The tumor with little calcification which had no obvious veining showed uniformly high densities.All patients were treated with entire mastectomy. The patho-staging showed 3 cases were in ⅢB, 1 case was Ⅱ B, and 1 case was in Ⅱ A. Theresults of ER and PR with all patients were negative by using immunohistochemistry. 3 cases were also treated with chemotherapy after surgery; other organs (brain and lung) were found metabasis by follow-up visit of post-operation.ConclusionFor patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast,MMG inspection before surgery did not have specific imageology characteristics, while MRI has. The combination of MRI, B-type ultrasonic inspection and CNB can detect pathologic types and invasive circumscription,so it may have great applications for choose of surgery style and directions of therapy in the future.

AIM:To investigate whether Mycoplasma pneumoniae ( Mp)-induced interleukin-1β( IL-1β) pro-duction in RAW264.7 cells is through the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome via reactive oxygen species (ROS).ME-THODS:RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into 3 groups.In normal group , RAW264.7 cells were treated without Mp.In model group, RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1∶10 multiplicity of infection ( MOI) of Mp.In NAC group, RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with N-acetylcysteine ( NAC) at a concentration of 5 mmol/L for 30 min before infection with Mp.The RAW264.7cells were infected with Mp (1∶10 MOI) for 4, 8, 16 and 24 h in model group and NAC group , respectively.The intracellular ROS level was analyzed by flow cytometry .The mRNA expressions of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were detected by real-time PCR.The protein levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 p20 were determined by Western blot.The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1βin the supernatant were measured by ELISA .RESULTS:Compared with normal group , the production of ROS were significantly increased at 4, 8, 16 and 24 h after infection, the mRNA expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were increased at 8, 16 and 24 h after infection, the protein levels of NL-RP3, ASC and caspase-1 p20 were increased at 16 and 24 h after infection, and the releases of IL-1βwere increased at 24 h after infection in model group (P<0.01).Compared with the model group, the level of ROS in NAC group decreased, so as the expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 at mRNA and protein levels and the releases of IL-1βin the superna-tant at the corresponding time points .CONCLUSION:Mp may stimulate the ROS production to activate NLRP 3 inflam-masome in RAW264.7 cells.
