Triple-negative (TN) carcinoma is a molecular subtype of breast cancer characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR) and HER-2.It is a heterogeneous disease,not only on the molecular level,but also on the pathologic and clinical aspects.TN tumors can be further classified into two subtypes:basal-like,defined as expressing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 by immunohistochemistry,and non-basal-like; the majority of TN tumors are basal-like.TN tumors usually have a more aggressive behaviour and poorer outcome compared with non-TN breast cancers,and lack molecular targets commonly used in targeted therapy,making this group of tumors difficult to treat.Developing novel,effective treatment strategies for these tumors is crucial for improving their prognosis.This review describes a recent study series on prognostic and predictive values of tumor biomarker susing in TN breast cancer patients.TN tumors are associated with significantly higher expression of Ki67 and p53 compared to non-TN tumors.Hormone receptor negativity rather than HER-2 negativity is associated with the increased Ki67 and p53 expression in TN tumors.Furthermore,high expression level of Ki67 ( ＞ 10％ ) but not p53,is significantly associated with nodal metastasis in TN tumors,indicating that Ki67 has better prognostic value than p53.TN tumors with distant metastases are significantly associated with lower expression of androgen receptor (AR) as compared to those with only loco-regional disease ; there is a significant negative correlation between AR and Ki67 expressions among AR expressing TN tumors.Basal-like subtype TN tumors with nodal and distant metastases are associated with significantly higher intratumoral expression of EGFR and CK5/6 as compared to those without metastases.Therefore,increased EGFR and CK5/6 intratumoral expression and decreased AR intratumoral expression,rather than the frequency of their expression,may play a role in the development of metastases and may be predictive of metastatic disease in TN breast cancer patients.Anti-EGFR and anti-AR targeted therapies may provide potential treatment options for TN carcinomas,especially those tumors not responding to chemotherapy.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of autologous drainage blood reinfusion in total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Methods Computers were used to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and VIP. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of autologous drainage blood reinfusion and vacuum suction without reinfusion after TKA were collected. And the results were analyzed by using the software RevMan5.1. Results Eight RCTs met the criteria for meta-analysis. Use of autologous drainage blood reinfusion significantly reduced the average amount of units of homologous blood transfusion, the length of hospital stay, and the number of patients requiring homologous blood transfusion. The rates of DVT formation and incision infection did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusions Autologous drainage blood reinfusion is a safe, effective procedure with less blood transfusion and medical cost. It can lower volume of allogeneic blood transfusion , shorten length of hospital stay, and avoid occurrence of complications.

Every year, waters on earth receive large quantities of wastewater from industry, agriculture, fish and poultry raising, and municipal sewage treatment plants. Consequently, the aquatic environment on the earth is under a serious challenge from a very large quantity of pollutants such as antibiotics, insecticides, herbicides, hydrocarbons, etc., contained in the domestic wastewater, industrial and agricultural waste water and illegal effluents. In particular, with the development of intensive aquiculture and poultry, the effluent pollution has recently become more and more serious with more attentions. Furthermore more and more chemical pollutants discharged into aquatic environment have been detected with the advancement of analytical techniques. These chemicals can cause toxic effects on water habitats after discharged into aquatic environment. However, microorganisms have many key functions in pollution control. In this review, applications of microorganism in the degradation of chemicals in aquatic environments are reviewed. It was concluded that most applications of microorganisms degrading chemicals focused on aquaculture waters, whereas other aquatic systems (such as river, lake, sea, coastal waters) have been scarcely studied.

Objective To study the characteristics of working memory impairment in patients with lacunar cerebral infarctions(LCI).Methods 42 patients proved by clinics were chosen,and divided into two groups:multiple and single LCI groups,versus left,right and double side infarction groups.Their working memory status were evaluated and compared with Digit Ordering Test,Corsi block task,House Visual Span Test and Stroop Digit Counting Test.All scores were analyzed statistically.Results(1)All scores of the four types of Tests in multiple LCI group were significantly lower than those in single group(P0.05).Conclusions Multiple LCI is closely related to working memory impairment.Left brain infarction may induce verbal working memory impairment,and right infarction may induce spatial working memory impairment,but object working memory impairment may related to double side of brain infarction.It suggested that in the physiological structure,different components of working memory regions had dissymmetrical effect in two sides of brain.
