Objective To evaluate the rate of residual tumor after local resection of thyroid carcinoma,and provide theoretical basis to determine the indications for re-operation.Methods The clinical data of 56 patients,who had re-operation in our hospital after local resection of thyroid carcinoma,were summarized.Results As confirmed by pathology,the rate of residual tumor of patients was 42.8% at re-operation.When the tumor was larger than 4 cm,or smaller than 2 cm before the first operation,the residual tumor rate was 80% and 11.1% respectively.The residual tumor rate was 86.3% in patients with tumor invading thyroid capsule,14.7% in patients without capsule invasion,47.6% in patients who had only nodule resection,50% after ipsi-lateral partial lobectomy,and 12.5% after subtotal thyroidectomy.The sensitivity of finding residual tumor by CT and doppler ultrasound examiination before re-operation was 64.0% and 60.0% respectively,and the positive predictive value was 80.0% and 30.0% respectively.Conclusions The rate of residual tumor is high in patients with thyroid cancer operated by local resection.And it′s necessary to re-operation.The condition of tumor before the first operation and CT examination are significant for selection of patients to have re-operation.

Objectives:To test the effect of continuous care on rural hypertension control , we developed a com-prehensive intervention strategy and implemented a community-based quasi-experiment in Southwestern rural China.Methods:The intervention took place in Qianjiang District , Chongqing Municipality from July 2012 to June 2014.4 towns were randomly selected and categorized into 2 groups based on a comprehensive consideration of population and social development level.All the rural hypertension patients in treatment group were intervened with the Multi-institu-tional Continuous Pathway which was consisted of three parts:the Continuous Primary-Care Pathway , the Continuous Clinical Pathway and the Continuous Management Pathway.The patients in the control group served as a blank com-parison using the usual care.Difference-in-differences Model was used to test the effect of blood pressure control in treatment group.Results:853 patients were sampled and investigated using the stratified randomly sampling strategy and 712 of them had been followed up by the end of this program.The potential bias of pilot and patient selection were eliminated through control before and after the intervention.The previous blood pressure trends showed no statis-tically significant difference between groups.The systolic blood pressure in treatment group declined by 10.156 mm-Hg ( P<0.001 ) compared to control group after intervention , and the blood pressure control rate had increased by 27.6% ( P<0.001 ).Other contributing factors besides intervention were family structure , education level and med-ical service availability.Conclusion:The continuous care pathway have a significant marginal positive effect on hyper -tension control besides the national compulsory primary care , and the control rate change of blood pressure is more sen-sitive compared to blood pressure change.The potential contributing factors show that other intervention strategies could be developed to improve the rural hypertension control by adding to the social capital of rural patient , reinforcing the health education and facilitating the village transportation.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects and possible related mechanism of OTX008 [a selective inhibitor of galectin-1 (Galectin-1)] on retinal neovascularization (RNV) in mouse model of oxygeninduced retinopathy (OIR).Methods 7-day-old (P7) C57BL/6J mice were randomly (according to random number table) divided into 4 groups including normal group,OIR group,OIR-OTX008 group and OIRphosphate buffered saline (PBS) group.To establish the OIR mouse model,mice from all groups except normal group were expose to (75±2)％ oxygen for 5 days and then to room air.OIR-OTX008 group received an intravitreal injection of 1 μl (0.25 μg/μl) OTX008 at P12,OIR-PBS group received the equal volume (1 μl) of PBS injection.Mice from 4 groups were euthanized at P17,and retinas were collected for molecular biological analysis and morphological study.RNV was evaluated by counting the number ofpre-retinal neovascular nuclei and the whole-mount immunofluorescent staining of mouse retina.Cyrosections of retinas were imaged via confocal microscopy to observe the enrichment of staining of Galectin-1.Protein levels of Galectin-1,Neuropilin-1 and phosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (pVEGFR2) were determined with Western blot.Results At P17,Galectin-1 expressed higher in retinal ganglion cell layer,inner plexiform layer and inner nuclear layer from OIR group and OIR-PBS group than normal group.Galectin-1 expressed less in cryosection retinas from OIR-OTX008 group than OIR group and OIR-PBS group.The numbers ofpre-retinal neovascular cell nuclei from OIR group and OIR-pBS group were obviously more than that from normal group (t=9.314,P＜0.05).The number of pre-retinal neovascular cell nuclei from OIR-OTX008 group were obviously lower than those from OIR group and OIR-PBS group (t=8.038,7.774;P＜0.05).The RNV tufts area (t=13.250,12.570),non-perfusion area (t=15.590,12.430) and hypoxic area (t=9.542,9.928) from OIR-OTX008 group were significantly smaller than those in OIR group and OIR-PBS group (P＜ 0.05).Protein levels of Galectin-1 (t=24.800,23.060),Neuropilin-1 (t=4.120,3.530) and pVEGFR2 (t=25.880,15.480) in the OIR-OTX008 group were significantly down-regulated than those from OIR group and OIR-PBS group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Intravitreal injection of OTX008 inhibits RNV and ameliorates retinal hypoxia in mice model of OIR possibly through down-regulating Galectin-1,Neurolinpin-1 and pVEGFR2.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the expression of SOX7,β-catenin and cyclin D1 in invasive breast cancer and hyperplastic disease of the breast,and explore their relationship with clinical pathology charactersis in invasive breast cancer in order to provide valuable biomarkers for the treatment and prognosis.Methods The expression of SOX7,β-catenin and cyclin D1 was neasured in 50 invasive breast cancer tissues and 30 hyperplastic disease of the breast by immunohistochemical SP method.The correlations of SOX7,β-catenin and cyclin D1 in invasive breast cancer to clinicopathologic features were analyzed,such as age,size of tumor,axillary lymph node metastasis,histological grade,pTNM stage,ER,PR,Her-2 expression and the risk.Results Immunohistochemical results showed that the positive rates of SOX7 and cyclin D1 in invasive breast cancer were 42％ (21/50)and 70％ (35/50),and the abnormal expression rates of β-catenin in invasive breast cancer was 70％ (35/50).The positive rates of SOX7 in invasive breast cancer was significantly lower than that in hyperplastic disease of the breast 70％ (21/30).The expression of SOX7 had difference between two groups (P =0.021 ＜0.05).The abnormal expression rates of β-catenin and the positive rates of cyclin D1 in invasive breast cancer wcre significantly higher than that in hyperplastic disease of the breast 43.3％ (13/30) (P =0.033 ＜ 0.05) and 20％ (6/30) (P =0.000 ＜ 0.001).The expression of β-catenin and cyclin D1 had difference between two groups.In invasive breast cancer,SOX7 and β-catenin protein expression in 12 cases,while negative expression in 5 cases; SOX7 and cyclin D1 protein positive expression in H 1 cases,while negative expression in 5 cases; β-catenin and cyclin D1 protein positive expression iu 28 cases,while negative expression in 8 cases.Results of the analysis by Spearman showed that in invasive breast cancer the SOX7 protein expression was negatively correlated with the abnormal expression of β-catenin protein and the expression of cyclin D1 protein(r =-0.282,P =0.046 ＜ 0.05 ;r =-0.327,P =0.020 ＜ 0.05)while the abnormal expression of β-catenin protein was positively correlated with the expression of eyclin D1 protein(r =0.333,P =0.018 ＜ 0.05).In invasive breast cancer the expression of SOX7 protein was correlated with age,axillary lymph node metastasis,histological grade,pTNM stage,ER,PR,Her-2 expression and the risk(P ＜0.05),but with no correlation with size of tumor (P ＞ 0.05).However,the abnoral expression of β-catenin and the positive expression of cyclin D1 in invasive breast cancer were correlated with size of tumor,axillary lymph node metastasis and pTNM stage(P ＜ 0.05),but with no correlation with age,histological grade,ER,PR,Her-2 and the risk(P ＞0.05).Conclusions SOX7.β-catenin and cyclin D1 are frequently abnormality-regulated in invasive breast cancer tissues,and the three protein may play a regulatory role through the same pathway in the development and progression of invasive breast cancer.SOX7,β-catenin and cyclin D1,s abnormal expression in invasive breast cancer correlate with the clinical pathology charactersis,and the three protein may be valuable marker for assessing the prognosis for invasive breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice CT (MSCT) and multi-dimensional reconstructions for congenital pulmonary stenosis (PS) in children.MethodsThe enhanced thin CT images of 33 patients with PS were retrospectively analyzed,the data was transmitted to the workstation for multi-planar reformation ( MPR),volume rendering technique (VRT) and maximum intensity projection (MIP).The CT imaging features of PS were analyzed combining with operation resul ts and Ultrasonic Cardiogram (UCG).ResultsIn 33 cases of PS,there were 17 cases with pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS),10 cases with right ventricular infundibulum stenosis (RVIS),and 6 cases with pulmonary trunk stenosis (PTS).The first two were correctly diagnosed by UCG,5 cases of PVS and Icases of RVIS were correctly diagnosed by MSCTA,the later was correctly diagnosed by UCG and MSCTA.In 14 cases with collateral circulations between aorta and pulmonary artery ( APC ),all were correctly diagnosed by MSCTA,only 3 case was diagnosed by UCG,1 case was misdiagnosed as PDA.UCG can clearly demonstrate the others intra-cardiac deformities,such as ASD,VSD,RVH,PFO,SV,DORV,TECD and TBD,the accuracy rate of MSCTA was 39.4％,and MSCTA can clearly demonstrate the origin,course and diameter of extracardiac vascular abnormalities,such as PDA,RAA,TGA,TAPVD,CoA,PLSV and VLSA,the accuracy rate of UCG was 697％.ConclusionsMSCT and multi-dimensional reconstruction were a kind of non-invasive method,it was a good approach for extra-cardiac vascular malformations and APC in PS.Combining with UCG,it can further be used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of intra-cardiac malformation and supply diagnostic evidence for clinical treatment.

Study found that in some human tumors such as breast cancer,SOX7 gene is highly likely to be a tumor suppressor gene.The tumor suppressor role of SOX7 may be accomplished by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway mediated the transcription process,and the abnormal Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is likely to play its role through the regulation of its downstream target gene Cyclin D1,etc,so that the ahnormal cell proliferation activity is unable to carry on,and thus plays the function of tumor suppressor.This review will summarize the research progress of the role of SOX7 geue and its closely related β-catenin,Cyclin D1 gene in breast cancer.

Background and purpose:Aberrant DNA methylation that leads to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes plays important roles in development and progression of breast cancer. Clinically, related gene methylation is considered to be a promising biomarker for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the methylation status ofSox17 gene in breast cancer tissue and its corresponding plasma circulating DNA, as well as to investigate its value in breast cancer early diagnosis and prognosis.Methods:TheSox17 gene promoter methylation status was detected by MSP in 86 cases of breast cancer, 36 normal breast tissues and its paired plasma DNA, the results were analyzed with corresponding clinical and pathological features.Results:The frequency ofSox17 gene methylation rate among 86 breast cancer tissues was 77.9%(67/86), and was 61.6%(53/86)in plasma circulating DNA, however, noSox17 gene methylation was found in normal breast tissues.Sox17 gene promoter methylation in plasma circulating DNA was signiifcantly associated with the methylation status in tumor tissues (r=0.502,P=0.000). In breast cancer tissue specimens,Sox17 methylation status was significantly correlated with tumor stage (χ2=6.18,P=0.041) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=13.54,P=0.001);Sox17 gene methylation rate was signiifcantly correlated with tumor stage (χ2=27.06,P=0.000), tumor size (χ2=9.65,P=0.007) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=20.80,P=0.000) in plasma samples, and there was no signiifcant difference ofSox17 gene methylation between patient age, histological grade and ER, PR, HER-2/neu status.Conclusion:Sox17 gene promoter methylation plays an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer, and may be associated with the prognosis of breast cancer. Furthermore, methylatedSox17 gene may be a useful tumor biomarker in plasma circulating DNA for breast cancer detection and disease monitoring.
