Objective To investigate the distribution of breast invasive ductal carcinoma with different molecular subtypes ,and to study the relationship between molecular subtypes and clinical pathological features in Xinjiang area .Methods A total of 621 patients with IDC from January 2013 to January 2014 was classified into Luminal A type,Luminal B type,HER-2 overexpression type and Basal -like type,different molecular subtypes according to the estrogen receptor(ER),progesterone receptor(PR),epidermal growth factor receptor -2(HER-2) and Ki-67,and compared the statistics combining with the clinical pathological characteristics of IDC .Re-sults The result showed that Luminal B type accounted for 53.1%,Luminal A type,HER-2 overexpression type and Basal-like type accounted for 14.5%,15.9%,16.4%,respectively.There were significant differences between the molecular subtypes and tumor size ,histological grade ,tumor pathological stage ,the expression of ER , PR and HER-2(P<0.05 for all).There were no correlations between the molecular subtypes and age ,as well as lymph node metastasis(P>0.05).Conclusion There is a close relationship between invasive ductal carcino-ma of different molecular subtypes and clinical pathological characteristics .The molecular subtypes are beneficial to treatment guidelines for clinical individual .

Objective To study the protective effects of aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract of Isodon lophanthoides var.gerardianus (Benth.)Hara (ILVG) on immunity hepatic injury induced by concanavalin A (Con A) in mice.Methods One hundred and eight NIH mice were allocated into normal control group,model group,ILVG groups of aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract (low-,middle-and high-dosage),and bifendate group randomly.In the experimental groups,mice received either ILVG aqueous extract or alcohol-soluble extract (18.20 g?kg-1,9.10 g?kg-1,4.55 g?kg-1 respectively) or Bifendate (45 mg?kg-1) by gastric perfusion daily for consecutive 5 days.In the 5th day,Con A (20 mg?kg-1) was injected into mice via the tail vein 4h after administration.And then the blood was obtained by picking out the eyeball and the serum was separated after 8-hour fasting.The serum levels of ALT and AST were analyzed,the body weight as well as the weight of liver,spleen and thymus were measured,and pathological features of hepatic tissue were observed.Results ILVG can decrease the ALT and AST,restrain the enlargement of liver and the shrinkage of thymus and reduce the necrosis of hepatic tissue.Conclusion Aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract of ILVG possess the effects of protecting liver from immunity injury induced by Con A in NIH mice.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and cosmetic results of intensity modulate radiation therapy (IMRT) for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.Methods From 2003 to 2006, 117 patients with breast cancer, after breast-conserving surgery followed by 4 - 6 cycles of chemotherapy,received intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT).The radiation dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the whole breast and 10 Gy boost to the tumor bed.Patients with positive hormone receptors then received endocrine treatment.Results The follow-up rate was 94.0% until September 2009.114 and 91 patients were followed up to 3 and 5 years, respectively.The 3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 99.1% and 96%.The 5-year disease free survival and local recurrence rates were 88% and 3.6%.Cosmetic results were satisfied.Severe radiation toxicities, such as radiation pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis and heart injury were not found.Conclusions Patients treated with IMRT after breast-conserving surgery have a satisfied prognosis as well as cosmetic results.

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of five different weighting methods of Chinese medicine syndrome and then analyze their diagnostic efficacy and characteristics, by taking Diagnostic Standard for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with Dampeness-heat Syndrome (abbreviated as diagnostic standard) as an example. MethodsData from expert questionnaire on the diagnostic standard and a cross-sectional survey of 1021 patients were collected. The comparative diagnostic test accuracy (CDTA) method was used to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC), area under the PR curve (AUPR), accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, and specificity of five commonly used weighting methods in two categories, including knowledge-driven weighting methods (expert scoring synthesis method, analytic hierarchy process, and precedence chart method) and data-driven weighting methods (logistic regression contribution method and entropy weighting method). ResultsAmong 1021 patients with T2DM, 389 cases were diagnosed as dampness-heat syndrome. The expert scoring synthesis method, analytic hierarchy process method, and precedence chart method were basically consistent in the weight scores of each item. The expert scoring comprehensive method, analytic hierarchy process method, and entropy weighting method have a smaller difference in the weight scores of each item, while there was larger difference in the weight scores of each item of the precedence chart method and the logistic regression contribution method. The AUC (95% CI), AUPR, ACC, sensitivity, and specifi-city of the expert scoring synthesis method were 0.913 (0.893, 0.932), 0.851, 0.870, 0.868 and 0.875, respectively; while those of the analytic hierarchy process method were 0.910 (0.890, 0.930), 0.838, 0.879, 0.848 and 0.896; of the precedence chart method were 0.919 (0.900, 0.937), 0.858, 0.875, 0.871 and 0.875; of the logistic regression contribution method were 0.867 (0.842, 0.891), 0.792, 0.853, 0.769 and 0.898; and of the entropy weighting method were 0.895 (0.873, 0.916), 0.820, 0.869, 0.802 and 0.908. ConclusionThe knowledge-driven weighting methods are better than the data-driven weighting methods in terms of diagnostic efficacy and reflecting expert experience.
