Objective To discuss imaging classification of blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury (BTTAI) and weigh guideline value of its imaging classification to surgical options.Methods BTTAI in 12 patients were divided into three types in accordance with outline of aortic injury revealed by CT imaging,i.e.,type A of normal outline of aortic blood vessel but free endothelium in aortic cavity,type B of abnormal aortic outline and contrast extravasation to aortic lumen exterior but only confining to mediastina,and type C of abnormal aortic outline and contrast leakage to thoracic cavity.Significance of BTTAI morphological classification was analyzed according to data,such as systemic injury severity score (ISS),local injury sites,surgical approaches and patients' outcome.Results Multiple injuries combined with BTTAI were observed in all patients whose aortic lesion image could be all generalized by above-mentioned classification.BTTAI image showed type A in three patients,type B in seven and type C in two.Pseudoaneurysm was confirmed as the foremost common BTTAI.There were no significant differences in ISS,hypotension morbidity,treatment methods or mortality between each type of BTTAI.Conclusions BTTAI occurs mostly in multiple injuries and thus overall injury severity assessment is not only depended on aortic lesion classification.BTTAI classification in this study reflects injury severity of vessel wall,takes account to location of lesion and adjacent relations (especially length of landing zone) and hence has accurate referential value for surgical decisions.

Background and purpose: As a member of Catenin family, little is known about expressive signiifcance and mechanism of Delta-catenin in numerous tumors. In present study, we investigated the expression of Delta-catenin in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with the prognosis of patients. Methods:We examined the expression of Delta-catenin and its correlation with clinicopathological factors of patients by immunohistochemistry in 92 cases of breast cancer tissues with tissue micro-array. The mRNA and protein expression of Delta-catenin were also detected in another 32 cases of frozen paired breast cancer tissues and normal breast tissues. Results:Compared with normal breast tissues, the mRNA and protein expression of Delta-catenin were increased in breast cancer tissues, and expression of Delta-catenin was closely associated with histological grade and lymph node metastasis (P=0.016 and 0.022, respectively). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high Delta-catenin expression had shorter survival than patients with low expression (P=0.015), and multivariate Cox analysis revealed that high Delta-catenin expression was also an independent prognostic factor (P=0.017). Conclusion:Our results suggest that Delta-catenin acts as an oncoprotein when overexpressed in breast cancer, and its expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients.
