OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical and pathological features of solitary pterygoid benign lesions, as well as the treatment and outcome of endoscopic surgery.
METHOD:
We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 4 patients with pterygoid benign lesions in our department. High resolution CT and enhanced MRI were performed before the operations, then endoscopic surgeries were carried out under the circumstance of general anesthesia. After a follow-up in 12 months to 48 months, nasal endoscopy and MRI examination were performed. Therefore we are able to understand the situation of operations and postoperative recurrences, and to inquire about the changes of symptoms and the relief of symptoms before and after surgery.
RESULT:
From the Pathological diagnosis, it showed 2 cases of cystic lesions, 1 case of spindle cell lipoma, 1 case of inflammatory lesion. Postoperative follow up showed scar formation, smooth surface, no recurrence, and no new symptom. Nasal obstruction is relieved after the surgery, and no changes in the sympotoms of headache were observed.
CONCLUSION
The combination of high resolution CT with enhanced MRI isimportant for ascertaining the location, extent and nature of the pterygoid lesions. Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective method for the treatment of solitary pterygoid benign lesions.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the data of non-invasive prenatal testing based on specific loci of circulating cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA). METHODS Selected loci of target chromosomes were analyzed by sequence capture and sequencing. Meanwhile, 600 loci were selected from other chromosomes for determining the concentration of cffDNA. RESULTS A total of 768 specific loci were captured on chromosomes 21 and 18, and used to determine whether the two were abnormal. When the minimum concentration of detected cffDNA was set at 3% and the threshold of Z score was set to [-6,6], the specificity of the analysis was 99.37% and the sensitivity was 100%. CONCLUSION A reliable, convenient and low-cost analytical method has been developed. The method requires less sequencing data for non-invasive prenatal testing, and can accurately detect abnormalities of fetal chromosomes 21 and 18, and simultaneously determine the concentration of cffDNA.

PURPOSE: Numerous previous studies have reported inconsistent results about the differences between synchronous contralateral breast cancer (sCBC) and metachronous contralateral breast cancer (mCBC). This study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes between sCBC and mCBC and determine predictive factors for the survival of sCBC and mCBC patients. METHODS: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database, we identified sCBC or mCBC patients from 2000 to 2010. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to analyze overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) rates of sCBCs and mCBCs, respectively. RESULTS: Overall, 14,057 sCBC (n = 8,139, 57.9%) and mCBC (n = 5,918, 42.1%) patients were included. The first tumors of sCBC were more likely to have higher stage and more lymph and distant metastases, whereas those of mCBC were more often infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC), had localized stage, were estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) negative, and had less axillary nodal involvement. The second tumors of mCBC tended to be IDC and have higher grade, adverse stage, ER and PR-negativity; and more axillary nodal involvement, compared to the second tumors of sCBC. mCBC patients had significantly favorable 5-year BCSS but worse long-term BCSS compared with sCBC patients. Moreover, subgroup analysis revealed no significant difference of BCSS between sCBC and mCBC among patients aged 18–60 years. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, grade, and stage of 2 tumors; surgery for second tumor; and ER status of the second tumor were independent prognostic factors for BCSS of contralateral breast cancer (CBC). CONCLUSION: The characteristics and outcomes of sCBCs and mCBCs were substantially different. sCBC and mCBC patients may have different prognosis, and the prognosis of CBC depends on the first and second tumors.
