Objective To evaluate the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of occult breast cancer(OBC). Methods Clinical data of 12 OBC cases from June 1995 to June 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 12 female; the mean age was 52.7 years(39~66). Tumor of all cases was in one of breasts, left(10 cases) or right(2 cases), 4 cases in pro- menostasis, 8 cases in post-menopause, and inci-dence of OBC in all kinds of breast cancer was 0.5% (12/2385). All cases were found because of lump in axillary fossa, the biopsy of 10 showed cases were lymph node adenocarcinoma metastatic, the fine needle aspiration of 2 cases were lymph node adenocarcinoma metastatic. Three cases were positive in the determi-nation of estrogen receptor of lymph node adenocareinoma metastatic. Two cases, suspecting breast cancer,could be found fine calcification in the examination of breast X-ray molybdenum target in 10 cases. Buhra-sound in 11 cases and near infrared ray scan in 10 cases did not detect cancer in breast; chest X-ray and Bultrasound in 10 cases and CT and all over the body bone scan in 5 cases did not found any cancer besides breast. Ten cases used modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer, one case radical mastectomy for breast cancer, one palliative operation. Pathological diagnosis of 9 cases after operation found breast primary le-sion, 6 cases were infiltrated duct cancer, 3 eases were intraductal cancer. All cases received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Three cases which were positive in the determination of estrogen receptor of lymph node adenocarcinoma metastatic received TAM. Followed-up was made from 3 to 10 years, 11 cases were not found recurrence or metastses, and 5 cases had been living over 5 years. Conclusions OBC is one of rare special breast cancers. The powerful infiltrating capability leads to lump in axillary fessa in prophase and dis-rant metastses. The biopsy and fine needle aspiration would be used for diagnosis. Modified radical mastecto-my for breast cancer is the usual therapy method.

Objective: To study the effects of capsaicin applied locally to infraorbital nerve on primary afferent nerve inadult rats. Methods:Capsaicin solution (2% ) was directly applied onto one lateral intraorbital nerve, and the contralateralnerve was used as self-control. Both experimental and control infraorbita1 nerves were observed under electron tnicroscope on3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 or 42 d after local administration. Substance P(SP)--like immunoreactive positive granules in both lateralnucleus caudalis spinalis nervi trigemini (CNV) were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results: Degenerated un-myelinated fibers in capsaicin-treated nerves were found under electron microscope, and no myelinated fibers changes werefound. The gray scale value of SP-like immunoreactive positive granules in the experimental side was markedly lower thanthat in the control side (P<0. 01), while no significant difference was observed between different time groups. Conclusion:Local administration of capsaicin can produce selective destruction of unmyelinated fibers in primary afferent nerves, and canreduce the levels of SP in regions of CNV. The results suggest that local administration of capsaicin has potential therapeuticvalue for trigeminal neuralgia.

This study investigated the role of glucose in the biogenesis of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Mouse primary peritoneal macrophages were harvested and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing glucose of various concentrations. The cells were divided into 3 groups in terms of different glucose concentrations in the cultures: Control group (5.6 mmol/L glucose), high glucose concentration groups (16.7 mmol/L and 30 mmol/L glucose). ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mRNA expression in the macrophages was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR 24, 48 and 72 h after glucose treatment. The results showed that ABCA1 mRNA expression in the 16.7 mmol/L glucose group was not significantly different from that in the control group at all testing time points (P>0.05 for each). In the 30 mmol/L glucose group, macrophage ABCA1 mRNA expression was not changed significantly at 24 h (P=0.14), but was substantially decreased by 40.4% at 48 h (P=0.009) and by 48.1% at 72 h (P=0.015) as compared with that in the control group. It was concluded that ABCA1 is of vital importance for HDL-C biogenesis. High glucose may hamper HDL-C biogenesis by decreasing ABCA1 expression, which contributes to low HDL-C level in diabetes.

Purpose To investigate effect of valsartan on expression of Notch pathway and production of extracellular matrix. Methods Urine protein and production of extracellular matrix were measured after diabetic mice were treated with valsartan. The levels of Jag-ged1, Notch1, Notch intracellular domain 1 (NICD1), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), TypeⅣcollagen and Laminin were determinated by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and real-time PCR. Results Valsartan suppressed urine protein and production of extracellular matrix in diabetic mice (P<0. 05). Valsartan also inhibits overexpression of Jagged1, Notch1, NICD1, TGF-β1, Type Ⅳ collagen and Laminin in glomerular tissues of diabetic mice (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion Valsartan inhibits activa-tion of Notch pathway in glomerular tissues of diabetic mice, inhibits production of extracellular matrix in glomerulus and delays glomer-ulosclerosis.

Objective To compare SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI in the diagnosis of benign hip lesions. Methods Twenty-two patients suspected avascular necrosis of femoral head with hip discomfort, pain or action limited were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent radionuclide bone scan and MR examination within 5 days, and the diagnosis was proved with clinical follow-up. Results Eighteen necrosis of the femoral head and 4 hip arthritis including 1 patient with ankylosing spondylitis were found in 44 hip joints of 22 patients. MRI detected 17 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis, while SPECT/CT fusion image found out 18 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis. There was corresponding relationship in signs of hip lesions between MRI and SPECT/CT fusion imaging. Conclusion SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI has no markedly difference in the diagnosis of hip benign lesions, and is complementary to each other. SPECT/CT fusion image can distinguish the hip lesions from the femoral head lesions, and has a higher accuracy of diagnosing hip lesions than whole body bone scanning.
