Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical characteristics of breast carcinosarcoma with osteosarcoma components and its differential diagnosis. Methods The pathologic features and clinical manifestations of the two patients were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemistry was performed and the literature was reviewed. Results Histopathologically, the neoplasm consisted of invasive ductal carcinoma of no special type and poorly ( case 1 ) or well (case 2) differentiated osteosarcomatoid elements. The morphological transition from carcinoma to sarcomatoid elements was seen. Immunohistochemically,the carcinoma cells were positive for CK and EMA , the sarcomatoid elements were stained positive for vimentin, and a few cells of two elements were positive for S-100 protein. Ki-67 and VEGF were over expressed in both elements of Case 1.In case2 Ki-67 expression was low in both elements and VEGF over expression was only seen in sarcomatoid elements. Some of the carcinoma cells were positive for ER. Conclusions Carcinosarcoma of the breast with osteosarcomatoid elements is a rare type of mixed epithelial/mesenchymal metaplastic breast carcinoma. The types and proportion of carcinoma and sarcomatoid elements determine the diagnosis.

Objective:To study the inhibition of astragaloside on the proliferation of human keloid fibroblasts. Methods: Com-pared with that of normal skin, the expression of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) and its transduction factors Smad in the human keloid fibroblasts was detected. The optimal concentration was screened by MTT after HFF-1 human skin fibroblast was infected with astragaloside at different concentrations. The mRNA expression of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was studied by using real-time. The protein expression of TGF-βRⅡ, Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was detected by using Western blot. Results: Compared with that of normal skin tissue, the expression of Smad protein was significantly increased ( P <0. 05) in the human keloid fibroblasts, and there was no significant difference in the TGF-βRⅡ expression (P>0. 05). The optimal concentration of astragaloside was 0. 5μg·ml-1 . The expression level of Smad2 protein in the two groups was significantly increased, and the level of Smad3 expression was significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Astragaloside can inhibit the formation of fi-broblast possibly through Smad2 over-expression and Smad3 inhibition in the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the transdifferentiation of hair follicle bulge cells into corneal epithelial cells in vitro. Methods The hair follicle bulge cells from 7- to 8-day SD rats were isolated and cultured in vitro, then co-cultured with rabbit corneal limbal stroma in transwell-cultured system. The differentiation and development of hair follicle bulge cells were observed, and immunocytochemical staining were used to detect expression of K19 and K12 in hair follicle bulge cells. Results The cultured bulge cells possesed high proliferation and low differentiation, co-expressed K19 and ?_ 1 integrin, but part of them expressed K12 after 2-week co-culture with rabbit corneal limbal stroma in transwell-cultured system. Conclusion Rat hair follicle bulge cells could transdifferentiate into corneal epithelial cells induced by corneal limbal stroma in vitro.

This study was based on live yeast cell derivative (LYCD), which was produced by live yeast cell stressed with high temperature and H 2O 2. The results showed that pretreating of low dose(37℃and 0.2mmol/L H 2O 2) could increase the content of GSH and the activity of SOD and CAT. These pretreatment could induce the resistance to lethal concentration of H 2O 2. LYCD was produced by yeast treated with 37℃ and 0.2mmol/L H 2O 2. And it was found that the survival of yeast treated with lethal concentration of H 2O 2 obviously increased, while LYCD was added in yeast culture. It indicated that LYCD could have resistance to oxidative condition.

Laser techniques are widely applied in medical research and military affairs. The characters of laser make it the best way to evoke pain.Pain induced by laser stimuli is influenced by laser parameters such as wavelength, pulse duration and stimulus area in addition to the properties of skin such as the distance from the brain, type and color of skin. In this review,both laser evoked pain and factors influencing it are discussed.

Objective To analyze the validity of Caprini venous thrombosis risk assessment model (Caprini RAM) in the tunneled cuffed dialysis catheters (TCCs) dysfunction patients with central venous thrombosis (CVT).Methods A total of 187 maintenance hemodialysis patients with TCCs dysfunction admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2013 to September 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the chest computed tomography venography results,patients were divided into CVT group and non CVT group.Their general clinical data (age,gender,primary diseases,history of dialysis access,etc.),blood biochemical data (hemoglobin,serum albumin,blood lipid,etc.) and 40 risk factors of Caprini RAM were collected.Caprini RAM scores were computed for risk stratification of thrombosis.Two groups were compared to analyze the value of Caprini RAM in these patients by statistics.Results One hundred and twenty CVT patients and sixty-seven non CVT patients were enrolled.In CVT group the duration of dialysis,hemoglobin and hematocrit were higher than those in non CVT group (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender,age,primary diseases,duration of catheter dependence,catheter tip position,usage of urokinase (all P ＞ 0.05).The average score of Caprini RAM in CVT group and non CVT group did not show statistical difference (6.23+ 1.81 vs 6.19+ 1.95,P=0.913).All patients were stratified into higher risk level and highest risk level according to Caprini RAM.Higher risk level patients accounted for 18.18％ and highest risk level patients accounted for 81.82％.As patients with inequable Caprini RAM scores,their incidence of CVT did not differ statistically (x2=0.105,P=0.746).CVT incidence rate of higher risk level patients was 61.76％,and of highest risk level patients was 64.70％.Conclusions Caprini RAM verifies that maintenance hemodialysis patients with TCCs dysfunction have high risk of venous thrombosis,but this model fails to distinguish patients between CVT group and non CVT group.Its clinical diagnosis is relatively limited and needs to be further explored.
