Objective To investigate the safety and clinical prognosis of breast conserving operation in treat-ment of triple negative breast cancer.Methods 157 patients with breast cancer were divided into the non triple nega-tive breast cancer group (n=76) and triple negative breast cancer (n=81) according to its receptor expression,clin-ical pathological features, local recurrence after 5 years.Distant metastasis and survival situation were compared between two groups.Results The age<35 years patients of triple negative group accounted 17.3%,significantly higher than 7.9%of the non triple negative group(χ2 =5.331,P<0.05);the size of tumor≥5cm of triple negative group accounted 79.0%,significantly higher than 59.2% of the non triple negative group(χ2 =7.022,P<0.05);The patients with positive family history and lymph nodes of the triple negative group were 9.9%and 28.4%,signifi-cantly higher than 2.6%and 17.1%of non triple negative group,the difference between the two groups was statisti-cally significant (χ2 =6.283,4.865,all P<0.05);The local recurrence,distant metastasis rate and 5 year survival rates between the two group were not significantly different(χ2 =2.559,2.829,2.361,all P>0.05);The 5 year dis-ease free survival rate of the triple negative group was 80.25%,significantly lower than 94.74%of the non triple neg-ative group (χ2 =6.572,P<0.05).Conclusion The patients with triple negative breast cancer is younger,their tumor size is large and has a high proportion of family history.Their recurrence rate,distant metastasis rate and 5 year overall survival rate are as better as the patients with non triple negative breast cancer after breast preservation opera-tion,which has high security and good clinical application value.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in the elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical trachelectomy.MethodsSixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients (aged 65-80 yr and weighing 55-74 kg) undergoing elective laparoscopic radical trachelectomy were randomly divided into two groups:30 patients received intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine 0.2 μg · kg - 1 ·h- 1 ( group D EX) and 30 received same volume of normal saline (control group,group NS) after induction of anesthesia.Cognitive function was assessed at 1 day before operation and on the 7th day after operation using a battery of nine cognitive dysfunction tests.ResultsCompared with group NS,on the 7th postoperative day,the incidence of POCD was decreased in group DEX ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionDexmedetomidine can improve POCD in the elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radicaltrachelectomy.

Objective To evaluate the subject's absorbed dose,equivalent dose and effective dose.Methods The CBCT unit was Implagraphy and three scan projections were selected such as mandible,maxilla and temporamandibular joint (TMJ).Thermoluminescent dosimeter tubes were used to record the absorbed dose at special positions in the head and neck region of an adult skull and tissue-equivalent phantom.16 interested organs included pituitary,lens,parotid glands,submandibular glands,sublingual glands、diploe,spongy bone of the chin and cervical vertebra,skins of cheeks and nuchal region,thyroid and esophagus.The absorbed dose was measured in these organs,and then the effective dose(E1990,E2007)were calculated according to different ICRP tissue weighting factors.Results The absorbed dose of mandible,maxilla and TMJ scan varied from (0.99 ±0.09) to (12.85 ±0.09)mGy,(0.93 ±0.01) to (13.07 ±0.02) mGy and (0.68 ±0.01) to (10.18 ± 0.04)mGy.There was significant difference among the three scan projections (F =19.61-30992.27,p ＜ 0.05).The equivalent doses of lens and skin were (1.11± 0.07)-(5.76 ± 0.06) mSv and (6.96 ± 0.06)-(10.64 ± 0.07) mSv.There was significant difference among the three scan projections(F =4473.02,9385.50,P ＜0.05).The effective dose(E1990,E2oo7) was [(191.35±1.53),(325.17 ±2.58) μSv] for mandible scan,[(106.62 ±2.17),(226.28 ±2.81)μSv] for maxilla scan,[(104.21 ± 1.02),(142.36 ± 1.90) μSv]for TMJ scan,respectively.Conclusions The valid measurement should be taken to reduce the subject' s dose such as a careful history and clinical examination before the performance of CBCT,the latest risk/benefit assessment,precise scan position,the shielding of thyroid as well as brain and the smaller volume size as well.

Objective To evaluate the security and biocompatibility of a new kind of absorbable high-strength PDLLA-CPP composite, which is used for internal fracture fixation. Methods According to the national standard of the procedure of appraise in food security and toxicology, micronucleus test of bone marrow cell, spermatic aberration test, chromosomal aberration test, and teratogenic test were measured with IP maximal tolerance dose of maceration extract from PDLLA-CPP composites. Meanwhile, chondrocyte culture with PDLLA-CPP composite was used to evaluate the effect of PDLLA-CPP composite on cartilage cell proliferation. Results Micronucleus test of bone marrow cell, spermatic aberration test, chromosomal aberration test, and teratogenic test were not affected by IP maximal tolerance dose of PDLLA-CPP maceration extract. PDLLA-CPP composite also had no cytotoxicity on cartilage cell proliferation. Conclusion PDLLA-CPP is a new and safe medical material with good biocompatibility and absorbability.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of testing amino acids levels in brain microdialysate by method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with α-aminobutyric acid (AABA) as the internal standard.MethodsReversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), orthophthaladehyde (OPA) precolumn derivatization method and fluorescence detector were used. The separation was performed using an ODS-C18 column. AABA, an isomeric compound of GABA, served as the internal standard, phosphate buffer solution and methanol as the mobile phase, gradient elution lasted in 35 min.Results7 kinds of amino acids and internal standard were separated completely. The mean recovery of amino acid was 88.2%—102.3%. The mean correlation coeffeicient of the linear relationship was 0.998±0.0015.Limits of detection for amino acids were 1.0—8.6 ppm respectively.ConclusionThe method mentioned above is simple and sensitive for operation, and can be used for determined levels of amino acids in microdialysate.

Objective To study the imaging characteristics of intracranial dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors(DNT),and to evaluate the role of CT and MRI in their diagnosis.Methods We presented 8 DNTs cases confirmed histopathologically after operation.CT and MRI features were retrospectively analyzed(3 cases received MR scan only and 5 had both studies),compared with the surgical findings and pathological appearance.Results Eight patients had totally 11 tumors with multifoci in 2 cases.Six DNTs were located in the temporal lobe,1 lesion involved the parietal lobe,1 in the frontal lobe,1 in the brain stem,1 in the cerebellum,and 1 in the frontal and temporal lobe simultaneously.All lesions were observed intracortically,and partial of them extended into the subcortical location.On 5 non-contrast CT scans,3 DNTs were homogeneously hypodense;1 case contained isodense nodules within the hypodense focus.Peripheral spotty calcification was found in 1 case.On pre-contrast MR images,all lesions showed hypointense on T_1-weighted images,moreover,multicystic change with more markedly decreased signal intensity was observed.The DNT had a well-demarcated,multinodular gyriform configuration,or a soap bubble appearance at the cortical margin.On T_2-weighted images,high signal intensity of the tumors was seen except for hypointense calcification.The bone remodeling of the adjacent calvaria was noticed in(1 case.) The tumors had slightly increased signal intensity on FLAIR(fluid attenuated inversion recovery) in 2 cases,and homogeneously mild hyperintense on PDW(proton density weighted imaging),while the isointense focus was observed in one case on DWI(diffusion weighted imaging).No obvious enhancement was identified except 1 lesion with mild enhancement following intravenous administration of contrast material.3 tumors had ill-defined contours,whereas the others showed well-demarcated margins.No surrounding vasogenic edema was present except 2 foci with slight edema.Conclusion DNT usually shows characteristic radiologic findings,in combination with the clinical presentation and history,the diagnostic accuracy should be improved,and,as such,unnecessary radiation and/or chemotherapy may be avoided.
