Objective To measure total hemoglobin concentration (THC) of breast lesion using US-guided diffused optical tomography(DOT) and to investigate the THC optimal threshold value in different size breast lesions.Methods DOT was performed on 500 breast lesions and surgical pathology was as the gold standard.The optimal diagnostic threshold and the efficacy were figured out.Results There were 265 benign and 235 malignant lesions.In malignant lesions,THC of ≥2 cm lesion group was higher than that of <2 cm lesion group(P =0.000).In benign lesions,there was no statistical difference between ≥2 cm group and <2 cm group (P =0.13).As for <2 cm breast lesions,when a THC threshold value of 146.9 μmol/L and 102.2 μmol/L were used,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy were 74.2%,70.0%,71.7%,62.9%,79.9% and 86.7%,44.4%,61.6%,51.6%,83%,respectively.As for ≥2 cm breast lesions,when a THC threshold value of 210.4 μmol/L were used,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy were 74.0%,86.7%,79.1%,89.2%,69.2%.Conclusions THC of breast cancer increased with the increasing size of lesions.The different diagnostic threshold value should be used according to different size lesions so as to enhance sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.

Objective To evaluate the inter-observer variability of static breast sonogram final assessment among observers with different breast imaging experience, using the first edition of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System(BI-RADS) for ultrasound. Methods Thirty patients with 30 breast lesions were included who underwent beast lesions resection operation. A pathological diagnosis was available for all 30 lesions:16 (53%) malignant and 14 (47%) benign. Twelve radiologists independently reviewed two sonograms of each lesion, and assigned a final BI-RADS assessment category. Inter-observer variability was measured using kappa statistic. Positive predictive value(PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for final assessment were also calculated. Results As for the experienced observers,kappa values of categories 3,4 and 5 were 0.72,0.28 and 0.60,NPV of category 3 was 93% ,PPV of category 5 was 97% ,all of which decreased as the breast imaging experience reduced. PPVs of categories 4a,4b and 4c were 56 % ,88% and 69%, respectively. Conclusions Using BI-RADS final assessment, radiologists with sufficient breast imaging experience can provide accurate and consistent assessment for breast ultrasonography,but the agreement of diagnosis decreased as the breast imaging experience reduced. The clinical feasibility of 4a,4b and 4c subcategories is uncertain.

Objective To investigate genes involved in cancer metastasis, mRNA differential display was used to compare the levels of gene expression in two cell sublines derived from human giant cell carcinoma of lung (PG) which had different metastatic potentials. Methods Using in vivo tumorigenicity and a spontaneous metastasis assay in nude mice, two sublines (BE1, LH7) from human giant cell carcinoma of lung (PG) with different metastatic potentials were isolated and characterized. mRNA differential display was used to compare the levels of gene expression between them and the obtained results were confirmed by Northern hybridization. Results One differentially expressed band was nearly identical (99% homology) to Ras-GTPase-Activating protein SH3 domain binding protein (G3BP). G3BP displayed a strong expression in LH7 (non-metastatic in recipient nude mice) and a very weak expression in BE1 (100% metastatic frequency). The same different expression level of G3BP was detected in Northern hybridization with another panel of cell sublines with different metastatic potentials (established in our lab) derived from human prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3M. Conclusion Our results indicate that G3BP was implicated in cancer metastasis because of its differential expressions in the two panels of cell sublines with different metastatic potentials.

Objective To observe the ultrasonographic features of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast and its clinical and histopathological characteristics. Methods The ultrasonographic features, clinical and histopathological characteristics of 7 middle-aged women (median age 61 years old) with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast confirmed histopathologically from January 1995 to December 2014 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Results There were 8 lesions in seven cases. Six cases were single lesion and 1 case with multiple lesions, the diameters of the lesions were 7.0-60.0 mm [mean (34.0±19.6) mm]. On grayscale ultrasound, 6 lesions with solid compoments were hypoechoic, 2 lesions with solid and cystic compoments were complex echogenic, the lesions all had irregular shape and indistinct margin, 2 lesions had calcifications. On color Doppler flow imaging, 7 lesions had rich blood flow signals (Ⅱor Ⅲ) and 1 lesion had no blood flow signal. On gross histopathological examination, 6 masses were solid, pale-white colored, medium texture and the boundary was not clear. Two masses had cystic cavity. One old patient who was 70 years old had several times chest wall recurrence after mastectomy. On ultrasonography, the lesion showed an anechoic cyst with thick wall. Two chest wall recurrence lesions were cystic with thick wall. Microscopic examination showed squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating into the fiber adipose and skeletal muscle tissue. Conclusions Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is more common in large tumor size. Ultrasound can show the more cysticcomponents of the tumor and abundant vascularity, which is helpful for diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of homemade aromatic masks on nausea, vomiting and pain in non-small cell lung cancer patients with chemotherapy.Methods:From October 2018 to August 2019, convenience sampling was used to select 82 patients with non-small cell lung cancer admitted to the 900th Joint Logistic Support Unit of the People's Liberation Army of China. All patients were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, each with 41 cases. Control group carried out the routine care, and experimental group was treated with the homemade aromatic mask on this basis. The Chinese version of Index of Nausea and Vomiting and Retching (INVR) and the Brief Pain Index (BPI) were used to compare nausea, vomiting and pain indicators of patients between two groups during chemotherapy.Results:On the third day of chemotherapy, the total score of nausea and vomiting, and the average pain score of experimental group were (11.00±5.46) and (1.63±1.14) respectively, lower than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-6.635, -4.781; P<0.01) . Conclusions:The homemade aromatic mask can relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in non-small cell lung cancer patients with chemotherapy, and reduce the pain of patients.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Based on the immunomodulatory capability of CAR-T cells, efforts have turned toward exploring their potential in treating autoimmune diseases. Bibliometric analysis of 210 records from 128 academic journals published by 372 institutions in 40 countries/regions indicates a growing number of publications on CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases, covering a range of subtypes such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, among others. CAR-T therapy holds promise in mitigating several shortcomings, including the indiscriminate suppression of the immune system by traditional immunosuppressants, and non-sustaining therapeutic levels of monoclonal antibodies due to inherent pharmacokinetic constraints. By persisting and proliferating in vivo, CAR-T cells can offer a tailored and precise therapeutics. This paper reviewed preclinical experiments and clinical trials involving CAR-T and CAR-related therapies in various autoimmune diseases, incorporating innovations well-studied in the field of hematological tumors, aiming to explore a safe and effective therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.
