Objective:To evaluate the frequency and predictive factors of nipple involvement in a large contemporary cohort of pa-tients and to improve patient selection for the preservation of the nipple-areolar complex. Methods: This retrospective study re-viewed the medical charts of 1,190 patients who underwent traditional mastectomy in Peking University People's Hospital between October 2008 and March 2014. Nipple involvement incidence was compared between the cases of clinically abnormal and clinically normal breasts. Other clinicopathological features and nipple status were analyzed to evaluate the association between these factors and occult nipple involvement. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify predictive factors. Results:Nipple in-volvement was detected in 6.0%of the mastectomy specimens. Meanwhile, incidence was 40.7%(22 out of 54) in clinically abnormal nipple cases and 4.3%(49 out of 1,136) in clinically normal nipple cases (χ2=121.9, P<0.001). Univariate analysis revealed that tumor lo-cation, tumor to nipple distance (≤2 and>2 cm), lymphovascular invasion, diameter (including carcinoma in situ;≤3.5 and>3.5 cm), T stage, N stage, and TNM stage were associated with occult nipple involvement. By logistic regression analysis, tumor location, tumor to nipple distance, T stage, and N stage were determined to be the independent predictors of nipple involvement. Conclusion:Clinical abnormalities of the nipples are reliable and potent predictors of nipple pathology. The cases with peripheral tumor, T1-T2 stage, and N0-N1 stage have lower probability of occult nipple involvement.

Objective To investigate the heterogeneity of chemosensitivity in colorectal cancer using an ATP-tumor chemosensitivity assay (ATP-TCA) and the feasibility of individual chemotherapy.Methods An ATP-TCA were used to determine the effect of 16 single or combined cytotoxic drugs in surgical specimens from 50 patients with colorectal cancer.Results There were considerable differences in chemosensitivity between individuals.The most active single drugs in the assay was identified as Navelbine, Hydroxycamptothecin, 5-Fluorouracil and Paclitaxel; 34.1%, 31.6%, 27.6% and 24.3% of specimens showed sensitivity to them, respectively.5-Fluorouracil+Mitomycin+Aytarabine was found to be the most effective combination, for 100% (11/11)specimens were sensitive to this regimen.5-Fluorouracil+Cisplatin+Adriamycin and Gemcitabine+Cisplatin were moderately active regimens.Conclusions There was the heterogeneity of the in vitro chemosensitivity in colorectal cancer.The use of the ATP-TCA provides a method of selecting appropriate anti-cancer drugs in colorectal cancer.
6.Progress in the effect of fluorosis on myocardium and related molecular mechanisms
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2023;42(11):933-937
Fluorine is an essential element widespread in nature. Appropriate concentration of fluorine is beneficial to prevent dental caries and promote the development of bones and teeth. But long-term excessive intake of fluorine can lead to fluorosis, causing dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis. In addition, fluorosis can also damage the structure and function of myocardium, thereby affecting human health. However, the underlying mechanism has not been thoroughly elucidated, so it is of great significance to explore its related mechanism for prevention and treatment of fluorosis. Apoptosis, Ca 2+ channel, oxidative stress, and imbalance of related cytokines all play important roles in myocardium injury caused by fluorosis. This article mainly reviews the effects of fluorosis on myocardium and its related molecular mechanisms, and proposes prospects for future research directions.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of health promotion for eight years on cardiovascular diseases based on the changes in knowledge (K), attitude (A) and behavior (B) (KAB) before and after intervention in rural population of Fangshan, Beijing.
METHODSFive townships in Fangshan District, Beijing were divided into intervention and control communities with cluster sampling. Totally 772 farmers were selected randomly for interviews with a questionnaire of KAB, including 424 in the intervention communities (IC) and 348 in the control communities (CC) in 1992. After community-based health promotion and education on cardiovascular prevention for eight years, 895 farmers, including 431 in IC and 464 in CC, were selected randomly again in 1999 to be interviewed with the same questionnaire of KAB used in 1992.
RESULTSFrom 1992 to 1999, knowledge of cardiovascular diseases was significantly improved in residents of IC (P < 0.01) and CC. Compared to the residents in CC, there was a net increase in knowledge in residents of IC. Significant improvement was found in 10 and 11 of the 18 items of knowledge in males and females (P < 0.01), respectively. Level of knowledge in cardiovascular diseases was significantly higher in the residents of IC than those of CC in 1999. Proportions of those with positive attitudes and appropriate behaviors were significantly elevated in the residents of IC (P < 0.01), as well as prevalence of smoking and alcohol drinking decreased. However, as compared to CC, attitude and behavior in most aspects in the residents of IC changed positively, but in few aspects changed negatively. It suggested knowledge improved better than attitude and behavior changed.
CONCLUSIONSCommunity-based health promotion and education for a longer term had obvious effects on improvement of knowledge in cardiovascular disease for rural population, but slower effects on changes in attitude and behavior, which suggested there still existed certain barriers to transform knowledge into healthy behavior.

The gross specimens and tissue slices used for traditional experimental pathology curriculum are fragile, and some specimens or slices are difficult to be supplemented. Besides, the classroom and schedule for experimental pathology teaching are inflexible. Therefore, the teaching effects for experimental pathology course are limited. The development of digital technology has promoted the teaching reform of medical experimental curriculum. We have digitalized the gross specimens and tissue slices to preserve and expand the samples, and constructed pathological sample repository containing both physical samples and digital samples. Furthermore, we have established a platform for remote access, and thus improved the flexibility and autonomy of study for experimental pathology curriculum. Additionally, we have integrated clinical information of the teaching samples, and interpreted the specimens with the assistance of two-dimensional code technology and voice broadcast technology, to realize human-computer interactive learning. The questionnaire shows that the application of pathological sample repository in experimental teaching has improved student learning effect and recognition.

Trib. Lorantheae used as traditional Chinese materia medica has a long history. There are 41 genera of Trib. Lorantheae, of which 6 belong to China, all have medicinal value, mainly distributed in Southwest, Southern, and Central and Southern China, with abundant resources. Twenty-two species of Trib. Lorantheae are used as medicinal materials or herbs in China. It mainly includes Taxillus. chinensis, T. sutchuenensis, Scurrula parasitica, Loranthus tanakae, Dendrophthoe pentandra, S. ferruginea, etc., of which T. chinensis is the most widely used. The main chemical components of Trib. Lorantheae include flavonoids, terpenoids, sterols, phenylpropanoids, curcumins, phenolic acids, violate oils, sugars, and other compounds. Modern studies show that the extracts and monomer compounds of Trib. Lorantheae have various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, anti-osteoporosis, bacteriostasis, anti-virus, and lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipid. It is believe that most active components related to their pharmacological effects are flavonoids, most of which are the main pharmacodynamic substances of the parasitic plants of Trib. Lorantheae, playing an important role in anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, anti-osteoporosis, and other pharmacological effect. This paper systematically summarized the literature and data on plants of Trib. Lorantheae and reviewed their chemical components and pharmacological effects, which provided references for the research, development, and utilization of Trib. Lorantheae.
