Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has become the most common treatment for breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).BCS followed by radiotherapy (RT) can reduce the risk of recurrence.However,controversy exists regarding the region of RT,which low-risk patients can avoid RT after BCS,and the role of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in the treatment of BCS.However,most trials have indicated that all DCIS patients can obtain benefit from RT after BCS.Further prospective studies are warranted to identify whether RT can be safely omitted for low-risk patients with DCIS.Long-term results of ongoing studies on outcome of BCS alone suggest that RT should be routinely recommended after BCS for all patients except those with contraindication.

Activating transcription factor 4 ( ATF4),one of the activating transcription factors,belongs to the cyclic AMP response element binding protein family.The expression of ATF4 is up-regulated by tumor micro-environmental factors.And ATF4 regulates the processes of tumor growth,infiltration,metastasis,apoptosis and drug resistance.Therefore,ATF4 might serve as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Objective To investigate the efficacies of different times and frequencies of acupoint application in preventing and treating child asthma of spleen-lung qi deficiency type. Method Sixty children with asthma of spleen-lung qi deficiency type were randomly allocated to dog days, dog days reinforcement, coldest days and coldest days reinforcement groups for treatment by acupoint application. The therapeutic effects were evaluated using the TCM symptom score as the observation indicator in the four groups after three months of treatment. Result The TCM symptom score decreased significantly in the four groups at the follow-up after three months of treatment (P<0.05). The main effect of treatment time was marked (F=17.04, P<0.05). The main effect of treatment frequency was marked (F=8.17, P<0.05). Conclusion Different times and frequencies of acupoint application both decrease the TCM symptom score in children with asthma. The therapeutic effect is better in dog days than in three nine-day period after the winter solstice. An increase in treatment frequency influences the therapeutic effect obviously. The therapeutic effect is best in the dog days reinforcement group.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicities of radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with reduction in dose of prophylactic irradiation in the treatment of stage Ⅲ small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 40 patients with stage Ⅲ SCLC who were admitted from January 2010 to August 2012.The prescribed dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions to the primary gross tumor volume and was 54 Gy in 30 fractions to the planning target volume.All patients received induction chemotherapy,31 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy,and 22 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy;the platinum-based chemotherapy combined with etoposide or teniposide was adopted.Prophylactic cranial irradiation (25 Gy in 10 fractions) was administered to 17 patients.The short-term tumor response was evaluated by RECIST 1.0,and radiation-related toxicities were assessed by CTCAE 4.0.Overall survival (OS),local recurrence-free survival (LRFS),and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results The short-term tumor response rate was 98％.The follow-up rate was 100％.Twenty-two patients were followed up for at least 2 years.The 1-and 2-year OS rates were 84％ and 48％,respectively; the LRFS rates were 89％ and 85％,respectively; the PFS rates were 61％ and 41％,respectively.Grade 0-1 radiation-related pneumonia was observed in 65％(26/40) of all patients,grade 2 in 25％ (10/40),grade 3 in 5％ (2/40),and grade 5 in 5％ (2/40).Grade 0-1 radiation-related esophagitis was observed in 53％ (21/40) of all patients,grade 2 in 43％ (17/40),and grade 3 in 5 ％ (2/40).Conclusions Preliminary results from this study suggested that IMRT combined with reduction in dose of prophylactic irradiation is safe and effective in patients with stage Ⅲ SCLC and is worth further evaluation in a large,prospective,randomized study.

Objective To evaluate the significance of sonographically detected thyroid calcification in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.Methods Five hundred and twenty-two patients with thyroid disease,including 119 with thyroid cancer,were included in the study.Each patient underwent preoperative,highresolution sonography to evaluate the thyroid gland for the presence of calcification.Calcifications were classified:type Ⅰ,microcalcification;type Ⅱ,coarse calcification;type Ⅲ,annular or"egg-shell"calcification;typeⅣ,calcified nodules within a cyst.Results The incidence of calcification and microcalcification was significantly higher in thyroid cancer than in benign nodules(P＜0.001).The appearance of microcalcifications was highly specific for malignancy with a sonographic specificity of 88%.The sensitivity was 60%,and the odds ratio(0R)was 11.28.The incidence of calcifications of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ did not differ significantly between the benign and malignant groups.Calcifications of type Ⅳ were showed totally in benign groups.Patients younger than 45 years with calcified nodules constituted a highrisk group,with a OR of 11.33 versus 2.96 in patients older than 45 years with calcified nodules.In the group of solitary thyroid nodules,the incidence of cancer in the calcified nodules was higher than in the nodules without calcifications,with a OR of 20.48.Conclusions The detection of thyroid calcifications by sonography is diagnostically valuable,especially in eases involving a solitary nodule or a young person.The presence of calcifications in these cases should raise the suspicion of malignancy,especially microcalcification.
