Objective:To explore the differences in therapeutic effect and prognosis of different molecular subtypes of breast invasive lobular carcinoma treated with nab-paclitaxel, so as to provide a basis for the selection of clinical drugs for breast cancer.Methods:The data of 180 patients with advanced invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast who were treated in Handan Central Hospital and the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 cases of Luminal A type, 92 cases of Luminal B type, 21 cases of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression type, and 33 cases of triple-negative type. The patients were treated with nab-paclitaxel, and the clinical curative effect was evaluated according to the solid tumor response evaluation criteria version 1.1 after 1 year of treatment, and the objective response rate (ORR) (calculated as complete remission + partial remission) and clinical benefit rate (CBR) (calculated as complete remission + partial remission + stable disease) were calculated; the occurrence of adverse reactions during the treatment was recorded. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) curves for each subtype of patients, and the log-rank method was used to test them.Results:The differences in ORR and CBR among patients with the four subtypes of Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2 overexpression, and triple-negative were statistically significant (all P < 0.001), with the triple-negative type having the lowest ORR and CBR [21.2% (7/33) and 63.6% (21/33)] and the Luminal A type having the highest ORR and CBR [70.6% (24/34) and 100.0% (34/34)]. The ORR and CBR of Luminal B type were 45.7% (42/92) and 90.2% (83/92), and the HER2 overexpression type was 38.1% (8/21) and 90.5% (19/21). The differences in the incidence of myelosuppression, numbness of limbs, joint and muscle pain among the four subtypes were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), with the triple-negative type having the highest incidence of all of the above adverse reactions. The PFS and OS of triple-negative subtype were worse than those of Luminal A, Luminal B and HER2 overexpression subtypes, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The clinical response and prognosis of patients with different molecular subtypes of invasive lobular carcinoma is significantly different after nab-paclitaxel intervention, among which the prognosis of patients with triple-negative type is the worst, and the clinical medication can be guided according to the pathological test results.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of endovenous laser ablation (ELA) combined with foam sclerotherapy (FS) and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MP)cream on stasis dermatitis.Methods From December 2015 to May 2017,52 patients with 60 lesional limbs were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital.The 60 lesional limbs were randomly and equally divided into 3 groups by a random number table and remainder grouping:combination group,MP group and control group.All the 3 groups were firstly treated with ELA in the main great saphenous vein.Then,the combination group was treated with FS followed by topical MP cream for 4 weeks.After the laser therapy,the MP group was treated with topical MP cream for 4 weeks,and the control group was treated with topical mometasone furoate cream alone for 4 weeks.The eczema area and severity index (EASI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) for itching scores in the above 3 group were recorded before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment.Statistical analysis was done by paired t-test for comparisons before and after treatment,one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for intergroup comparison,and least significant difference (LSD)-t test for multiple comparisons.Results No significant difference was observed before treatment among the combination group,MP group and control group in the EASI (9.64 ± 4.58,9.94 ± 4.18,9.50 ± 4.41 respectively,F =0.052,P ＞ 0.05) or VAS scores (7.25 ± 1.29,7.50 ± 1.19,7.45 ± 1.32 respectively,F =0.218,P ＞ 0.05).After 4-week treatment,the combination group,MP group and control group all showed significantly decreased EASI (3.54 ± 1.57,5.86 ± 2.39,7.04 ± 2.75 respectively) and VAS scores (2.35 ± 0.67,3.85 ± 0.67,4.65 ± 1.23 respectively) compared with those before treatment (t =4.30-18.80,all P ＜ 0.05).After 4-week treatment,the EASI score was significantly lower in the combination group than in the MP group and control group (both P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference between the MP group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Additionally,the VAS score was significantly lower in the combination group than in the MP group and control group (both P ＜ 0.05),as well as in the MP group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions ELA combined with FS and topical MP cream shows better short-term efficacy for the treatment of stasis dermatitis compared with ELA combined with topical MP cream or mometasone furoate cream.The combination with topical MP cream is superior to that with topical mometasone furoate cream in improving itching.The long-term efficacy needs to be observed further.

Objective To investigate therapeutic effects and complications of three kinds of minimally invasive therapies for varicosis of the lower extremities.Methods Totally,79 patients with 94 affected limbs were enrolled into this study.According to their clinical manifestations,3 kinds of minimally invasive therapies alone or in combination were selected,including endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) with saphenofemoral ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein,microphlebectomy,foam sclerotherapy,EVLT with saphenofemoral ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein + microphle-bectomy,and EVLT with saphenofemoral ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein + foam sclerotherapy.Physical examination and color Doppler ultrasonography were performed to evaluate the regression and recurrence of varicosis,as well as complications.Meanwhile,dermatology life quality index (DLQI) was used to evaluate the improvement of life quality of the patients after the treatment.Results All the patients were followed up for 1-6 months (average,4.2 months),and no recurrence was observed.One month after the treatment,all the patients were re-evaluated.Of the 94 affected limbs,46 (48.9％) were cured,43 (45.7％) were improved,and 5 (5.3％) were unimproved.Three months after the treatment,69 patients with 82 limbs completed the re-examination.Of the 82 limbs,71 (86.6％)were cured,9 (11.0％) were improved,and 2 (2.4％) were unimproved.Six months after the treatment,61 patients with 70 limbs completed the follow-up.Of the 70 limbs,62 (88.6％) were cured,7 (10.0％) were improved,1 (1.4％) was unimproved.Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed that the total DLQI scores before the treatment (9.12 ± 2.87),one month after the treatment (6.97 ± 2.39),3 months after the treatment (5.12 ± 1.96) and 6 months after the treatment (3.69 ± 1.45) significantly differed (F =328.84,P ＜ 0.01),and there were significantly differences between any two time points of re-evaluations (all P ＜ 0.01).In the 79 patients,postoperative complications included subcutaneous ecchymosis (7 patients,8.9％),numb sensation in the foot and boot area of the legs (6 patients,7.6％),and cord-like subcutaneous induration =(3 patients,3.8％).Conclusions The three kinds of minimally invasive therapies alone or in combination are all effective for the treatment of varicosis of the lower extremities with rapid recovery.The life quality of patients was obviously improved after the treatment,and the complications were acceptable.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors for all-cause mortality in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer(MIBC)with intermediate-to-high-risk primary prostate cancer.Methods:From January 2012 to October 2023,the clinical data of the patients with MIBC with intermediate-to-high-risk primary prostate cancer in Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were monitored and the occurrence of all-cause death was documented as the outcome event in the prognostic study.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis models were implemented to search for independent influences on the prognosis of patients.For significant influencing factors(pathological T stage,M stage and perineural invasion of bladder cancer),survival curves were plotted before and after multifactorial Cox regression adjusting for confounding factors.Results:A total of 32 patients were included in this study.The mean age was(72.5±6.6)years;the median preoperative total prostate specific antigen(tPSA)was 6.68(2.47,6.84)μg/L;the mean preoperative creatinine was(95±36)μmol/L,and the median survival time was 65 months.The majority of the patients(87.5％)had high-grade bladder cancer,53.1％had lymphatic invasion,and 31.3％had perineural invasion.Prostate involvement was observed in 25.0％of the cases,and the positive rate of soft-tissue surgical margin was 37.5％.Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that preoperative creatinine level(HR=1.02,95％CI:1.01-1.04),pathological stage of bladder cancer T3(HR=11.58,95％CI:1.38-97.36)and T4(HR=19.53,95％CI:4.26-89.52)metastasis of bladder cancer(HR=9.44,95％CI:1.26-70.49)and perineural invasion of bladder cancer(HR=6.26,95％CI:1.39-28.27)were independent prognostic factors(P＜0.05).Survival curves with Log-rank test after adjusting for confounding factors demonstrated that bladder cancer pathology T3,T4,M1,and perineural invasion were unfavorable factors affecting the patients'survival prognosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Patients with MIBC with intermediate-to-high risk primary prostate cancer generally portends a poor prognosis.High preoperative serum creatinine,T3 or T4 pathological stage of bladder cancer,metastasis of bladder cancer and bladder cancer perineural invasion are poor prognostic factors for patients with MIBC with intermediate-to-high risk primary prostate cancer.
