Objective To study the relationship between postoperative recurrence time and relat-ed clinical factors in patients with breast cancer. Methods The clinical data of 170 patients with recur-rent breast cancer were analyzed retrospectively. The recurrence time and the related influencing factors were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier test. Results The one-way analysis of variance showed that endocrine therapy,estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor(ERPR)status,Ki-67 and lymph node metastasis were related to the recurrence time(P < 0. 05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that age,neutrophil-to-lym-phocyte ratio(NLR)and platelet-to-lymphocyte(PLR)were related to the recurrence time(P < 0. 05). Fi-nally,Cox multivariate analysis showed that endocrine therapy,lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 were in-dependent prognostic factors of relapse(P < 0. 05). Conclusion To develop personalized follow-up and adjuvant treatment strategy according to the characteristics of patients may prevent breast cancer from re-currence.

Objective:
To explore the effects of anteriolateral thigh perforator flap and fascia lata transplantation in combination with computed tomography angiography (CTA) on repair of electrical burn wounds of head with skull exposure and necrosis.
Methods:
Seven patients with head electrical burns accompanied by skull exposure and necrosis were admitted to our burn center from March 2016 to December 2017. Head CTA was performed before the operation. The diameters of the facial artery and vein or the superficial temporal artery and vein were measured, and their locations were marked on the body surface. Preoperative CTA for flap donor sites in lower extremities were also performed to track the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery with the similar diameter as the recipient vessels on the head, and their locations were marked on the body surface. Routine wound debridement and skull drilling were performed successively. The size of the wounds after debridement ranged from 12 cm×8 cm to 20 cm×12 cm, and the areas of skull exposure ranged from 8 cm×6 cm to 15 cm×10 cm. Anteriolateral thigh perforator flaps with areas from 13 cm×9 cm to 21 cm×13 cm containing 5-10 cm long vascular pedicles were designed and dissected accordingly. The fascia lata under the flap with area from 5 cm×2 cm to 10 cm×3 cm was dissected according to the length of vascular pedicle. The fascia lata was transplanted to cover the exposed skull, and the anteriolateral thigh perforator flap was transplanted afterwards. The descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and its accompanying vein of the flap were anastomosed with superficial temporal artery and vein or facial artery and vein before the suture of flap. The flap donor sites were covered by intermediate split-thickness skin graft collected from contralateral thigh or abdomen.
Results:
The descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and its accompanying vein were anastomosed with superficial temporal artery and vein in six patients, while those with facial artery and vein in one patient. All the flaps survived after the operation, and no vascular crisis was observed. Wound healing was satisfactory. One patient was lost to follow up. Six patients were followed up for 6 to 10 months. The patients were bald in the head operation area with acceptable appearance. No psychiatric symptom such as headache or epileptic seizure was reported. The flap donor sites were normal in appearance. The muscle strength of the lower extremities all reached grade V. The sensation and movement of the lower extremities were normal.
Conclusions
Anterolateral thigh perforator flap with fascia lata transplantation can effectively repair electrical burn wounds of head with skull exposure and necrosis. The fascia lata can be used to protect the vascular pedicle of flaps, which is beneficial to the survival of the flap. Preoperative head and lower extremities CTA can provide reference for intraoperative vascular exploration in donor site and recipient area, so as to shorten operation time.

Objective:
The purpose of this study is to explore the biological function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HMMR-AS1 in proliferation and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods:
Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of HMMR-AS1 and its sense strand HMMR in LUAD cell lines. Then we knock down the HMMR-AS1 expression through small interfering RNA and evaluate the transfection efficiency and its effect on the expression of HMMR. CCK-8 (cell counting kit), clone formation, flow cytometric analysis, wound scratch assay and transwell assay were used to assess the biological function of A549 and H1299 cells. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of HMMR in the two cell lines after transfection with si-HMMR-AS1.
Results:
The expression of HMMR-AS1 in A549 and H1299 cells of LUAD cell line was markedly higher than that in normal lung epithelial cell BEAS-2A by upregulating approximately 3.06 and 5.02 folds (P<0.05), respectively. After transfection with si-HMMR-AS1, the expression of HMMR-AS1 markedly reduced in both levels of transcription and protein (P<0.05). Furthermore, knocking down of HMMR-AS1 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities, and increased the apoptosis rates of A549 and H1299 cells.
Conclusion
LncRNA HMMR-AS1 could promote malignant progression of LUAD cells through enhancing the growth, migration and invasion ability of LUAD cells.
