Objective To study the immediate conservative breast surgical reconstruction by trans-ferring the same lateral latissimus dorsal myocutaneous flap (LDM) for the treatment of stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ breast cancer, combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Breast cancer patients in stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ with pathological diagnosis by core needle biopsy, had undergone immediate conservative breast reconstruction surgery with transferring the latissimus dorsal myocutaneous (LDM). We scored the reconstructed breast twice at one month after operation and completion of radiation. The final score was decided using the mean value of the twice evaluating score. Kaplan-Meier survival was used to analyze the survival of 18 cases with traditional mastectomy. Results The tumor size ranged from 30 mm to 55 mm before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and ranged from 25mm to 45 mm after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The median weight of the tumor specimens in breast conservative operation was 140 g (90 g to 220 g). A-mong the 18 patients, 16 cases had more than 3 scores with satisfied cosmetics (93.33 % ). Dorsal subcu-taneous seroma in donation area was observed in 5 of 18 patients (27.78 %) and dorsal incision dehiscence was observed in 2 of 18 patients (11.11%). None of the patients developed recurrence except that 1 pa-tient (5.55 %) had distance metastasis (bone metastasis} in a mean 22-months follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve in breast conservation reconstruction patients had no different from that of traditional mastectomy patients at the same time. Conclusions Immediate conservative breast surgical reconstruction by using the same lateral latissimus dorsal myocutaneous flap is an effective method for stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ breast cancer patients combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which can increase satisfactory breast so that cosmetic outcome can be reached.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the diagnosis and treatment of parotid Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC), and improve the rate of the diagnosis and treatment.
METHOD:
Eighteen cases with parotid LELC confirmed pathologically were collected in our department, and the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively summarized and analyzed from 1982 to 2002.
RESULT:
All of these LELC patients were found in unilateral side. All cases received Epstein-Barr virus serological test except 2 cases because of refusing, and the testing result displayed: EBV-VCA-IGA positive rate in 93% (15/16); EBV-EA-IGA in 75% (12/ 16); EBV-DNA enzyme in 63% (10/16). Of 16 cases with facial nerve reserved, parotid superficial lobectomy were undertaken in 6 cases, resecting a majority of parotid in 5 cases, whole lobectomy in 5 cases. Facial never resection and whole lobectomy in 2 cases due to facial nerve trunk involved. Functional neck lymph dissection in superior and middle part was undertaken in 14 cases and radical neck lymph dissection in 4 cases, total neck lymph node metastasis rate was 67% (12/18). All of patients received radiotherapy to 50-70 Gy. The follow up were over 1 year, and local recurrence occurred in 2-4 years after operation for 4 cases and had to undergo reoperation. The 1, 3, 5 years survival rates of the 18 cases were 94% (17/18), 72% (13/18) and 50% (9/18), respectively. The chief Causes of death were distant metastasis and local recurrence.
CONCLUSION
There maybe be close relationship between occurrence of LELC and Epstein-Barr virus infection. Its histopathologic feature is similar to undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and nasopharynx biopsy must be demanded before confirming diagnosis for eliminating metastasis focus. The neck lymph node metastasis rate of LELC is high and local invasion is strong. It is important to undergo enlarged local resection, neck lymph dissection and postoperative radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of T lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (Tiam 1) overexpression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells.
METHOD:
Endogenous expression of Tiam 1 in 8 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell (HNSCC) lines was investigated by real-time RT-PCR. A lentivirus vector containing Tiaml was transfected into UM-SCC-47 cells, a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line with little endogenous Tiaml expression. Stable clone, obtained by G418 screening, were assayed by RT-PCR and Western blot to validate the gene expression efficiency. The biological behaviors of the transduced cells were determined by cell counting, MTT and in-vitro migration assay.
RESULT:
Tiam 1 gene was highly expressed in M2 cell line and it's low level expression was found in UM-SCC-47. Cell counting and MTT assay showed that over-expression of Tiaml significantly promoted cell proliferation (P < 0.05). The cell monolayers overexpressed Tiaml that resulted in a significant increasment of cell migration in infected head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Tiam 1 gene plays an important role in the growth and migration in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines. It may be a useful marker for metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
