1.Association between the triple-negative breast cancer and the risk of BRCA1 mutation: a Meta-analysis
Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(1):32-36
Objective To systematically evaluate the risk of BRCA1 mutation in patients with triplenegative breast cancer (TNBC).Methods Articles about the association between the TNBC and BRCA1 mutation were retrieved from database,such as PubMed,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP and CBM databases.The odds ratio (OR) was used to evaluate the risk of BRCA1 mutation in TNBC compared with non-TNBC.Rev Man 5.2 software was applied to perform the Meta-analysis.Results A total of 23 articles were eligible for the Meta-analysis,including 1 104 patients with TNBC and 4 245 patients with non-TNBC.The pooled OR was 7.67 and 95% CI(6.24,9.42),and the difference was statistically significant (Z =19.38,P < 0.000 01).In the subgroup analysis about the race,the pooled OR for Asian was 6.67 and 95% CI (4.98,8.95).The pooled OR for Caucasian was 8.83 and 95% CI (6.61,11.80).There was statistically significant difference in the pooled OR between the Asian and the Caucasian (Z =14.74,P < 0.000 01).Conclusion The patients with TNBC are 7.67 times more likely to have BRCA1 mutation compared with non-TNBC phenotype.Largesample randomized controlled trials are warranted to demonstrate the detection of BRCA1 mutation can be a conven-tional application in clinical for the patients with TNBC.

Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(8):603-608
Objective To evaluate the association between the expression of breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene 1 (BRMS1) and the progression of cancer,and provide the basis for predicting the occurrence and metastasis of cancer.Methods Articles about BRMS1 with the clinical research literatures of cancer from PubMed,EMBase,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang and VIP database were retrieved.The association between the expression of BRMS1 and tumorigenesis was evaluated by odds ratio (OR).The RevMan 5.3 software was used to complete the meta-analysis.Results A total of 27 articles were included,involving 2 282 cases in cancer group and 1 236 cases in the control group.The meta-analysis results showed that BRMS1 expression was significantly upregulated in cancer lesions compared with paired non-cancer (OR =0.10,95% CI:O.08-0.14,Z =15.37,P <0.000 O1).In the subgroup about the type of cancers,there was statistically significant difference in the pooled OR between breast cancer and the control group (OR =0.10,95% CI:0.05-0.20,Z =6.18,P < 0.000 01).Conclusion The level of BRMS1 is negatively correlated with tumorigenesis including breast cancer.Low or absent BRMS1 expression in the tumor tissue may be an adverse predictive factor of tumorigenesis and metastasis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of compound polymyxin B ointment combined with desonide cream for the treatment of subacute or chronic eczema. Methods A multicenter, randomized, double?blind, parallel?group, controlled clinical study was conducted. Totally, 144 patients with subacute eczema and 144 patients with chronic eczema were enrolled into this study, and both randomly and equally divided into the test group and control group. The test group and control group firstly topically applied compound polymyxin B ointment and its vehicle respectively, then both topically applied desonide cream 3 hours later. The drugs or vehicle were applied twice a day in all the patients. Patients′ symptoms and signs (including degree of itching, inflammation, erosion/exudation and infiltration/thickening, as well as area of target lesions) were evaluated, and the time to onset and duration of itching?alleviating effect were recorded. The clinical efficacy and safety of treatments were analyzed and compared between the test group and control group. Results The total symptom and sign scores significantly decreased to different extents on days 7 and 14 in the test group(subacute eczema patients:6.09 ± 2.78 and 3.68 ± 3.18 vs. 13.44 ± 1.66; chronic eczema patients: 6.56 ± 2.68 and 4.38 ± 3.27 vs. 12.96 ± 1.16)and control group(subacute eczema patients:8.26 ± 3.17 and 5.28 ± 4.05 vs. 13.60 ± 1.75;chronic eczema patients: 8.84 ± 2.90 and 6.25 ± 3.78 and vs. 12.64 ± 1.18)compared with those at baseline. Moreover, the total symptom and sign score of patients with subacute or chronic eczema was significantly lower in the test group than in the control group on days 7 and 14(all P<0.05). A significant increment was observed in the degree of decrease in scores for itch, infiltration/thickening in patients with subacute eczema in the test group compared with that in the control group(all P<0.01), as well as in scores for itch, infiltration/thickening and area of target lesions in patients with chronic eczema in the test group compared with those in the control group (all P < 0.05). In addition, patients with subacute eczema in the test group showed significantly shorter onset and longer duration of itching?alleviating effect than those in the control group(both P<0.05). The time to onset of itching?alleviating effect was also significantly shorter in patients with chronic eczema in the test group than in those in the control group(P<0.000 1), but there was no significant difference in the duration of it between the two groups of patients with chronic eczema. Clinicians and patients were both more satisfied with therapeutic effects in the test group than in the control group(all P<0.05). Conclusions Topical compound polymyxin B ointment can increase the efficacy of topical desonide cream for the treatment of subacute or chronic eczema, especially subacute eczema. Compound polymyxin B ointment also shows a favorable therapeutic effect on itching and infiltration/thickening in patients with eczema.
