Breast cancer is a type of heterogenetic neoplasm.Metabolic dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progress of breast cancer.N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) could change fatty acid metabolism of breast cancer cells and modulate expression of oncogenes and anti-oncogenes through various ways.It may provide therapeutic opportunities in the treatment of chemotherapy,radiotherapy,endocrine therapy and molecule targeted therapy of breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of endoscopic thyroidectomy via the breast areolae.Methods From Aug.2010 to Nov.2011,90 patients with benign thyroid nodules(＜6 cm)received endoscopic thyroidectomy in our department.Three trocars were used during the surgery.Small incisions were made at the points 1.2 cm away from the breast cleavage,1 cm or 0.5 cm away from the left and right breast areola to place the trocars.Ultrasonic harmonic scalpel was used to remove the thyroid nodules.Results 89 patients were treated successfully by endoscopy and 1 case was converted to open surgery because of thyroid cancer with central lymph node metastasis diagnosed by intraoperative rapid pathological assessment.The medium operation time was 100 minutes,ranging from 90 to 240 minutes.The average intraoperative blood loss was 20 ml,ranging from 10 to 120 ml.The mean postoperative hospitalization stay was 6 days(ranging from 3 to 12 days).85 cases were followed up from 3 to 13 months with 6 months as the average,during which no recurrence happened and no patient developed scars at the breast areolae.Conclusion Endoscopic thyroidectomy via the breast areolae is feasible and safe with excellent cosmetic effects.

Objective To analyze the effect of intensive pupillary dilation on intraocular pressure(IOP) in early stage after vitreoretinal surgery(VRS).Design Retrospective case series.Participants 32 patients(34 eyes) with 30 mmHg or more of IOP at the first day after VRS were enrolled in this study.Methods Tropicamide-phenylephrine eyedrop(Mydrin-P~(?)) was applied to the operated eye 3 times with interval of 5 minutes and IOP was measured again 2 hours later.IOPs were compared with t test.Main Outcome Measures IOP.Results The mean IOP was 37.26?6.07 mmHg before using tropicamide-phenylephrine eyedrop and 34.82?8.46 mmHg after using it two hours later(P=0.02),and mean decline of IOP was 2.44 mmHg in general.IOP was decreased in 20/34 eyes(58.82%) with mean decline 6.2 mmHg.IOP was unchanged in 4/34 eyes(11.76%).IOP was increased in 10/34 eyes(29.41%) with mean IOP up 4.1 mmHg.Conclusions The IOP increasing after vitreoretinal surgery is not the reason for stopping pupillary dilator.On the contrary,the IOP of about 60%patients can decrease with rational using pupillary dilator.

Objective To observe the expression changes of peripheral endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and Ang-1/Tie2 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Methods From Jun 2011 to Dec 2012,45 patients with PAH charged in Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University were divided into 3 groups according to mean pulmonary arterial blood pressure (15 per group):mild(Group L),moderate(Group M),and severe(Group S),with another 15 normal people as control group(Group C).The EPCs were isolated from peripheral blood of every patient,number counting using fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS),function test using cell culture in vitro.Expression of Ang-1 and Tie2 in the peripheral EPCs were measured by RT-PCR or Western-blot.Non normal data was analyzed by non parametric statistical test.Results The statistical discrepancy existed among Group L,M,S and the control in the number of EPCs [32.0 (27.0,37.0),26.0 (19.0,31.0),24.0 (22.0,26.0) vs 40.0 (37.0,51.0),P ＜ 0.05].The ability of migration [32.1 (26.5,37.5),26.8 (22.4,35.4),21.0 (17.8,34.0) vs 39.0 (33.3,42.4),P＜0.05] and adhesion of the EPCs [57.1(50.9,61.8),51.8(45.2,58.7),46.0 (37.2,55.1) vs 64.1 (56.2,75.0),P ＜ 0.05] among study groups and control group was different in statistic,the same with the proliferation activity of EPCs in different groups [0.6 (0.5,0.7),0.5 (0.4,0.6),0.4(0.3,0.5) vs 0.7(0.6,0.8),P ＜0.05].The mRNA expression of Ang-1 and Tie2 in Group M & S were significantly reduced compared with control [4.33 (2.49,4.62) and 2.89 (2.39,3.44) vs 5.31(3.78,6.22),P＜0.05],Tie2 mRNA[1.32(1.23,1.34)and 1.23(1.08,1.42)vs 1.49(1.25,1.66),P ＜ 0.05],and the protein expression of the phosphorylated Tie 2 in Group M &S were decreased [0.16 (0.15,0.24) and 0.12 (0.08,0.18) vs 0.22 (0.19,0.28),P ＜ 0.05].No significant difference of Ang-1 and Tie2 expression was observed between Group L and control [5.42 (4.72,5.95),1.54 (1.43,1.66) and0.23(0.19,0.33),P=0.674,0.867 and 0.674].Conelusion With the severity of PAH,the number and function of circulating EPCs decreased,as consistent with Ang-1 and Tie2 expression changes,suggesting that function decrease of EPCs in patients with PAH may be associated with the decrease of Ang-1/Tie2 expression.

Objective To explore the expressions of histamine receptor subtypes (H1, H2, H3, H4 receptor) in children's mid-urethral striated muscles and during mouse C2C12 striated myogenesis.Methods Children's mid-urethral striated muscle samples were paraffin embedded and tissue sections were made, then immunohistochemical staining was used to check H1, H2, H3, H4 receptors.C2C12 myogenesis was induced, the early differentiation early markers of desmin, middle marker of myogenin, late marker of myosin heavy chain and histamine 4 receptor subtype mRNA were checked by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Immunofluorescence staining was done to check 3 differentiation markers and histamine H3 receptor protein.Results During myogenesis, the expression of desmin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 12,68,60 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myogenin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 631,1 408,914 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myosin heavy chain mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 7 718,9 448,286 288 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts.The expression level of H1 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 6 days was about 25％ to undifferentiated cells;the expression of H2 receptor mRNA in undifferentiated cells and differentiated cells groups had no significant difference (F =1.47, P ＞ 0.05);the expression of H3 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days was 28,103,198 times to undifferentiated cells;H4 receptor mRNA was not detected.In immunofluorescence staining, H3 receptor protein staining intensity increased with the differentiation.Immunohistochemistry of pediatric urethral striated staining indicated that H1, H2, H3 receptor staining was positive,H1 receptor showed strong positive staining, H3 receptor moderate positive staining,and H2 receptor showed weak positive staining.Conclusions Histamine receptor subtypes of H1 receptor, H2 receptor and H3 receptor were found during mouse striated myogenesis and in the children's mid-urethral striated muscles.The increasing expression of H3R with myogenesis might indicate it plays a role in mature striated muscle cells.

Objective To investigate the number and activity changes of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) in hemodialysis patients,and explore its correlation with the risk factors of coronary heart disease.Methords Total mononuclear ceils(MNCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with chronic renal failure in long-term hemodialysis and from a normal control group by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and then were plated on humanfibronectin-coated dishes.Mter 7 days of culture,EPCs were characterized as adherent cells by double staining with FITC-UEA-I and DI-LDL,and were further identified by the expression of CD34,CD133 and KDR with flow cytometry.EPCs migration was determined with modified Boyden chamber assay.EPCs adhesive assay was performed by replanting EPCs on humanfibronectin-coated plates and then counting the adherent cells.The relationship of the EPCs' number and activity with Framingham Risk Score of ten years was also be assessed.Results Number of EPCs and the migratory & adhesive capacity were significantly lower in patients than in the control(P

Objective To explore the liver pathology from live related liver transplatation(LRLT) of Wilson′s disease(WD) in children,and evaluatethe indication of LRLT.Methods The sample of this study,including the donater and patient,came from the LRLT. It was observed with HE,MASSON,Timm′s and Rubeanic staining.Results With HE and MASSON stainning,hepatocyte showed degeneration,fiber hyperplasic and false lobule formed;Timm′s and Rubeanic stainning showed typical black deposit of granules and conglomerations.Liver pathology revealed that liver cirrhosis appeared,and it was diffrentent from Child Pugh.Conclusions It is of great significance that the liver pathology is useful for the treatment of WD.If liver pathology supportes,the indication of LRLT can be measurably broadened.

Objective To evaluate the effect of music and mood relaxation training for the anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation. Methods With case-contrast method, 108 patients with breast tumor (52 patients with intervention, 56 with routine treatment) week assessed continuously. All cases were investigated on their common information, physiological indexes and psychological scales, including State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Form Y), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ). Results There were significant statistical difference in systolic pressure and pulse rate between two groups on one day (t =3.114, P ＜0.01) and 30-60 minutes (t =3.03, P=0.01) before the operation. There was remarkable difference for anxiety between two groups and among different interventions periods by Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis (Periods: F=18.61, P ＜0.01; Groups: F =7.001, P ＜0.05). Results of Stepwise regression analysis: The influencing factors on anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation were trait anxiety, breast-feeding history, family history of breast tumor, age, economy and EPQ-N. Conclusion Relaxation music and mood relaxation training can reduce the level of anxiety and related physiological indexes on patients with breast tumor before operation. The influencing factors on anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation are multi level factors, such as trait anxiety, breast-feeding history and so on.
