China Oncology 2013;(8):613-617
It has been shown that MR imaging of breast is superior to conventional mammography and ultrasonography on early diagnosis and cancer staging on breast cancer due to MRI’s high soft-tissue contrast and no radiation. The concept of multidisciplinary treatment of breast cancer has been increasingly accepted in clinical practice of breast cancer care. Investigation of breast MRI on cancer staging, selecting conservative therapy, detecting the primary malignant of patients presenting as axillary metastases, evaluating residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC), predicting response in the early phase of treatment as well as monitoring recurrence during follow-up has been carried out along with its board clinical application. The advantages of breast MRI in mapping the disease accurately provide measures to select appropriate use of variable treatments.

Objective:To investigate the expression and biological significance of MicroRNA-204 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: qRT-PCR was applied to detect the relative expression of miR-204 in 43 paired nasopharyngeal carcinoma in comparison to the normal nasal mucosa tissues. Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between the miR-204 expression and clinical features. The expressions of Bcl-2 and SIRT1 were measured by immunohistochemistry ( IHC ) , Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between miR-204 and Bcl-2,as well as SIRT1. We then transfected the miR-204 mimics into CNE-2 cells,then the Western blot was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and SIRT1,which were considered as the potential targets of miR-204. Results:The relative expressions of miR-204 was significantly downregulated in NPC tissues compared to those of the matched normal tumor-adjacent tissues(P<0. 05). Low expression of miR-204 was significantly associated with lymphatic metastasis(P<0. 05) and advanced TNM stage(Ⅲ+Ⅳ,P<0. 05). The expressions of Bcl-2 and Sirt1 in lower miR-204 level group were both higher than in higher miR-204 level group ( P<0. 05 ) . Both the mRNA and protin expression in CNE-2 cells were down-regulated after transfection. Conclusion: Low expression of miR-204 is related to the malignant clinicopathological features in NPC tissues,and miR-204 may through down-regulate Bcl-2 and SIRT1 to suppress NPC genesis and development.

Objective To evaluate and recognize the dynamic and morphological MRI charactristics of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast and provide imaging information for the early detection and treatment planning Methods All MRI data in 71 patients with histollogically proved DCIS were analyzed retrospectively. The 71 patients were divided into two groups, NI ( pure DCIS, 44 patients) and N2 ( DCIS with microinvasion, 27 patients). According to the BI-RADS descriptors, all lesions were defined as a focus (smaller than 5 mm in diameter), mass and no-mass-like three enhancement types. The morphological features (M1 = focus, M2 = linear or linear-branched, M3 = branching-ductal, M4 = segmental, M5 = focal,M6 = regional, M7 = diffuse, M8 = mass) and the time-intensity curve (TIC) pattern [type l ( persistent enhancement curves), type Ⅱ( plateau), type Ⅲ(washout) and type Ⅳ (the same enhancement as glandular tissue)] were described. Chi-square test was used for the morphological characteristics of lesions.Results The 73 DCIS lesions were found in 71 patients, and 5.5% (n =4) were stippled lesions, 87.7%( n =64) were no-mass-like lesions, 6.8%(n=5) were mass-like lesions. In no-mass-like lesions (n=64), M3 was found in 15 cases, M4 in 34 cases, M5 in 9 cases and M6 in 6 cases, respectively, M3 and M4 were the most common distribution patterns. In N1 group(n =45) and N2 group (n =28), M3, M4,M5, M6 were found in 7 and 8, 21 and 13, 7 and 2, 3 and 3 cases, respectively. There were no statistic differences between two groups (P>0.05). In 31 showed heterogeneous enhancement, both M3 and M4 were observed in 35.5% (11/31). In 26 clustered ring enhancement lesions, M4 was observed in 88.5% (23/26). Four lesions showed reticular enhancement,2 lesions showed a clumped enhancement and 1 lesion showed homogeneous enhancement. In 5 mass-like lesions, N1 group had 3 cases, N2 group had 2 cases.Four lesions showed lobulated margin, 4 lesions showed speculated margin, 1 mass showed smooth margin.Five mass showed heterogeneous enhancement. Type Ⅰ , type Ⅱ , type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ TIC ( n = 25) were demonstrated in 8, 11, 3 and 3 lesions, respectively. Conclusions M3, M4, especially segmental clustered ring enhancement, are the most common morphological characteristics of DCIS. Type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ TIC are the most common types.

Objective:To analyze the mediating effect of work-occupation fit between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms in medical staff.Methods:Convenience sampling method was adopted to select participants of one general hospital and three specialized hospitals as respondents for a questionnaire survey in Henan Province from October 2020 to January 2021. A total of 2050 medical staff were investigated, and 1988 valid questionnaires were collected, and the effective rate of the questionnaire was 97.0% (1988/2050) . The "Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale" and "Worker-Occupation Fit Inventory" were used to evaluate the occupational stress, anxiety symptoms and worker-occupation fit level of medical staff, and the mediation effect of work-occupation fit on the relationship between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms was analyzed using a mediating effect model.Results:The average age of the 1988 medical staff was (32.7±7.8) years old, the positive detection rates of occupational stress and anxiety symptoms were 42.5% (845/1988) and 56.7% (1127/1988) , respectively. Anxiety symptoms of medical staff were positively correlated with occupational stress, negatively correlated with worker-occupation fit ( r=0.831, -0.364, P<0.001) , work-occupation fit was negatively correlated with occupational stress ( r=-0.259, P<0.001) . The results of the mediation effect analysis showed that occupational stress had a direct effect on anxiety symptoms ( β=0.677, BCa 95% CI: 0.648-0.707) , and worker-occupation fit ( β=0.047, BCa 95% CI: 0.039-0.056) , characteristic fit ( β=0.089, BCa 95% CI: 0.074-0.104) , need-supply fit ( β=0.075, BCa 95% CI: 0.062-0.089) , and ability-demand fit ( β=0.035, BCa 95% CI: 0.026-0.044) mediated the association between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms in medical staff, with the mediating effect as a percentage of 6.5%, 12.3%, 10.3%, and 4.8%, respectively. Conclusion:Worker-occupation fit has a mediating effect between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms in medical staff, but mainly direct effect.
