Objective To provide the reference for early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer by detecting its metastasis-related genes.Methods Breast cancer metastasis-related genes were searched from PubMed-covered papers with their conception matched according to the MetaMap.A gene-gene matrix was generated using data a-nalysis software.An interaction network of breast cancer metastasis-related genes was established using Ucinet 6 and its related indexes were analyzed.Results tp53, thra, erbb2, esr1, cdh1, egfr, nr4al and cd69 were the core genes for breast cancer metastasis.Conclusion Co-word analysis can show breast cancer metastasis-related genes. However, the role of cd69 in breast cancer metastasis remains unclear and is thus necessary to be further confirmed.

The paper discusses the necessity and urgency of hospital ownership reform. and pinpoints the focal and difficult points of the task. It also identifies the goals of the reform, viz. establishment of a medical and health system that fits in with the development demands of a socialist market economy, which is of great significance. It can be seen both in theory and in practice that for a pretty long period of time in China, public hospitals, providing basic medical security for the broad masses of people will occupy a leading position whereas private hospitals known for their outstanding service and quality, will play a bigger role only when the living standards of the general population have reached a fairly high level.

Objective To study problems related to drug-induced liver lesion caused by antituberculotic therapy (DLL).Methods Totally, 172 cases of DLL occurred in 1 464 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis after antituberculotic therapy, hospitalized during January 1995 to December 2002, were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.Results Patients aged 20 to 60 years with DLL by antituberculolis therapy accounted for 70.3% of the total. Symptoms of digestive tract and change in liver function usually occurred within 8 weeks of intensive treatment (73.8%), and discontinuation of autituberculotic drugs was not needed for the mild cases, but needed for the severe cases with liver protective therapy. In total, 157 of the 172 cases (91.3%) recovered completely and 13 case improved (7.6%), two cases deteriorated and discharged, and doses of autituberculotic drugs should be reduced or stopped in 41 cases (23.8%) affecting their treatment efficacy.Conclusions DLL was liable to occur in patients of pulmonary tuberculosis with antituberculotic therapy, especially in the elderly men with body weight less than 50 kilograms, those with previous liver damage or infected with hepatotropic virus, alcohol drinking, complicated with extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with combination of isoniazid rifampicin and pyrazinamide.

Objective To introduce the outcome of compound defect in the hand treated by compound flap transfer or combined flaps transfer. Method From Dec.1983 to June 2001,thirty-five cases with five kinds of compound defect in the hand were treated surgically.Among them,four cases with defect of skin and extensor tendon in the dorsum of hand were repaired by dorsalis pedis flap with tendons;Three cases with longitudinal subtotal loss of distal thumb and one case with longitudinal subtotal loss of distal middle finger were reconstructed with fibular segmental osteo-onychocutaneous flap from great toe or tibial segmental osteo-onychocutaneous flap from second toe;Eight cases with total or subtotal defect at middle part of thumb or fingers were reconstructed with segmental second toe; seventeen cases with defect of thumb and hand skin were reconstructed with combined transplantation of second toe and free skin flap;Two cases with middle finger defect at the base of proximal phalanx were reconstructed with bridging transplantation of bilateral second toe. Result Thirty-three cases were successful.Follow-up period ranged from 0.5 to 5 years postoperatively.The excellent and good rate was 82.9% assessed with provisional functional assessment criterion for upper limbs issued by Chinese Society of Hand Surgery. Conclusion The compound flap transfer or combined flaps transfer was an ideal method in repair of compound defect in the hand.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of MRI in the diagnosis of adenomyosis. Methods Sagittal Turbo SE T 1WI, T 2WI, T 1SPIR and T 2SPIR MRI examination were performed on 30 cases with adenomyosis. Results The lesions in 12 cases with diffuse adenomyosis were demonstrated as diffusely thickened junctional zone (JZ) measured 10～35 mm (mean 18 mm) On T 2WI. 6 of them were of homogenous hypointensity. Another six had hyperintensive foci within the hypointensive lesions on T 2WI, and these hyperintensive foci could also be found on T 1WI in 5 lesions. 23 focal lesions (adenomyomas) in 18 cases were oval, irregular or round masses with hypointensity that were the same as the intensity of JZ on T 2WI. They were from 2.0-7.5 cm in diameter (mean 3.9 cm), and all but one showed ill-defined margins. 15 masses hadhyperintensive foci within the hypointensive lesions on T 2WI and 12 of 15 presented hyperintensity on T 1WI. The diffusely thickened JZ and focal masses correspond to the hyperplastic and hypertrophic musculature around the heterotopic endometrial islands. The hyperintensive foci were correlated with the heterotopic endometrial islands. The hyperintensive foci showed only on T 2WI corresponded to the heterotopic endometrial islands without hemorrhage. The hyperintensive foci shown on both T 2WI and T 1WI were the heterotopic endometrial islands with hemorrhage. Conclusion MRI is the modality of choice for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. T 2WI is the most useful sequence. T 2WI combining with T 1WI, T 1SPIR, and T 2SPIR can improve the accuracy in the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

Objective To report the result of bilateral second toes transfer for reconstruction of total hand or total digits defect. Methods A series of 14 total hand or total digits defect were reconstructed by transplantation of 2nd toes from both feet forming a crab-shaped hand. Among 14 cases, 11 cases were males and 3 females. The patients were aged from 4-44 years, with an average of 22.7 years. One of the 14 cases was of congenital deformity and the other 13 were caused by trauma. The 14 cases were classified into three types according to the level of amputation; Type Ⅰ: defect at the distal end of the metacarpal bone with good function of abductor pollicis in 6 cases; Type Ⅱ: at the proximal end of carpus or the level of wrist joint in 5 cases; and type Ⅲ: at the forearm end stump in 3 cases. All the operations were successful. Results All 28 transferred toes survived uneventfully with good blood supply and pulp fullness and elasticity. Follow-up examination made at mean 6.6 years postoperative period (2-15 years) showed that mean total active motion (TAM) of IP joints of reconstructed digit was 57.5? (35?-105?). All the 14 cases had restored digital function, such as opposition of the fingers, pinching a pencil, a key, a needle or holding an ink-bottle. The mean distance between the two reconstructed digital pulps was 4.3 cm (2.6-6.5 cm). Judging by the evaluation standard of British Medical Institute, sensation recovery to S3+ was obtained in 20 digits of 10 cases. Based on the trial criteria of the function of hand reconstruction of hand surgery society of Chinese Medical Association, 2 were assessed as excellent, 7 good, 4 fair and 1 poor. Conclusion Reconstruction of crab-shaped hand for total hand or total digits defect by transfer of bilateral 2nd toes with metatarso-phalangeal joint can give the patient reasonable prehensile function without much impairment to foot function.
