Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subgroup of breast cancers defined by a lack of the expressions of estrogen,progesterone and HER2 receptors,with more aggressive biological and clinicopathological characteristics and a close relationship with basal-like and breast cancer susceptibility gene-1 (BRCA1)-related breast cancers.TNBC is insensitive to most available hormonal or standard therapeutic agents,associated with increased risk for distant metastases and with poorer prognosis than other types of breast cancer.A deeper insight into the biology of TNBC may lead to improved therapies and better clinical outcomes of the disease.

Objective To observe the effect of Cyclosporine A on the brain immunoligical reject reaction of transgenic cellular transplant in rats with experimental brain hemorrhage.Methods We established the brain hemorrhagic models of rats and the models were divided into group A (treated with Cyclosporin A) and group B (without treatment) randomly after transplanting brain cells modified by NGF gene.

Objective To compare the treatment efficacy of severe hypospadias between two-stage urethral plate reconstruction procedure and two-stage tubularized transverse preputial island flap procedure. Methods From 2010 December to 2014 December, we retrospectively analyzed 82 cases with severe hypospadias, using two-stage urethral plate reconstruction and two-stage tubularized transverse preputial island flap urethroplasty, respectively.Their mean age in the first operation was 2.4 years, ranged from 2 to 3 years.Hypospadias were penoscrotal type in 32 cases, perineal type in 50 cases.In group A, 42 cases, including penoscrotal type in 15 cases, perineal type in 27 cases, with urethral plate reconstruction procedure underwent two-stage urethroplasty.The transected ventral penile urethral plate and to strip the ventral fibrous tissue were needed in correction of chordee of penis.The patients in group A were underwent the second urethroplasty with urethral plate reconstruction procedure 6-12 months later.In group B, 40 cases,including penoscrotal type in 17 cases, perineal type in 23 cases, who underwent one stage operation in the correction of chordee of penis, only with tubularized preputial island flap forming the part of the urethra.The patients in group B were underwent the second urethroplasty 6 ~12 months later.Results Patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years, mean 3.5 years.No recurrence of penis chordee was noticed.In group A, 6 cases (14.3%) had postoperative fistula.The second fistula repairing was perform 6 to 12 months after the second stage operation.However, still 3 cases were noticed the fistula recurrence, which was cured after the fourth operation.In group B, 3 cases (7.5%) developed fistula, which appeared in the second urethroplasty (P<0.01).They were all treated after the second repairing procedure.In group A, 4 cases were noticed urethral stricture, the urethral stricture rate was 9.5%.The stricture occurred 1 to 3 months after the second operation.After dilation and indwelling catheter, 3 cases resolved the problem. Another case still found the recurrence after 2 months, which the one stage urethral plication and second urethral reconstruction were considered to treat this patient.In group B, 1 cases of urethral stricture, the urethral stricture rate was 2.5%(P<0.01).After dilation and indwelling catheter, this case resolved the problem.In group A, 3 cases had urethral diverticulum, which occurred at a rate of 7.1%, whereas without urethral diverticulum occurred in group B (P<0.01).Those patient with urethral diverticulum accepted the diverticulum removing procedure 3 to 6 months after the second stage procedure.One case was found the urethral fistula, which was treated one year later.The success rate of operation was 69.0%in group A, the success rate of the operation was 90.0%in group B.The difference of the success rate between two groups was statistically significant ( P <0.01 ) . Conclusions With respect to two-stage urethral plate reconstruction procedure in treatment of severe hypospadias, there were the low complication rates of postoperative urinary fistula, urethral stricture and diverticulum in two-stage tubularized transverse preputial island flap procedure.Urethral meatus could be done at the glans of the penis.In addition, the two-stage tubularized transverse preputial island flap procedure provides a good opportunity to practice to master complex hypospadias operation.

BACKGROUND: A stable and exact animal model is the necessary tool and basis for studying hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases.OBJECTIVE: To establish and evaluate the intracerebral capsular hemorrhage models in rats.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Second Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical College; First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the animal experimental center of Nanjing Medical University during May to November 2002.Totally 35 SD rats were randomized into two groups: experimental group (n=30) and sham-operation group (n=5).METHODS: ① Autoblood was injected into the intracerebral capsule of rats to create intracerebral capsule hemorrhage models with stereotaxy in the experiment group. ②Scoring was conducted according to 5-point neurological scoring criteria from ZeaLonga, somatic sensation and motor function of rats were observed. ③Somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) of rats was detected pre- and post-operation under anesthetic state. ④ After determination of SEP, the rats were sacrificed under anesthetic state. Brains were taken out to made slices, then sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Changes in haematoma and histomorphology were observed at the largest focus under optical microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Nerve function scoring; ②Latent period of various waves of SEP; ③ Observation of brain tissue morphology.RESULTS: Totally 35 rats entered the stage of result analysis. ①Appearance of obvious paralysis of the rats suggested the modeling was successful. The successful rate of this experiment was 93.3%(28/30). Significant difference existed in neurological scoring between experimental group [(2.74±0.46)points] and sham-operation group (0 point)(P＜0.05). ②SEP showed that the latent periods of various waves of experimental group after operation were significantly delayed than those before operation and those of sham-operation group [P1: (15.72±0.78) ms, (10.69±0.52) ms, (10.73±0.48) ms;Nl: (17.95±1.27) ms,(13.21±1.31) ms, (13.34±1.27) ms;N2:(21.16±1.62) ms, (15.42±1.46) ms,(15.58±1.44) ms;N3:(24.86±1.58) ms, (18.72±1.76) ms, (18.99±1.67) ms,P＜0.05]. ③In the shamoperation group, a few red blood cells were scattered in the peripheral area of needle channel were found, but hemorrhagic focus was not; In the experimental group, irregular or oval blood clots presented in the left internal capsule area. In about a low-fold visual field, brain tissue in the surrounding of hemorrhagic focus was loosened and swelled, and pathological changes were obviously severer than those in the sham-operation group.CONCLUSION: Intracerebral capsular hemorrhage induced by injection of autoblood with stereotaxy is more close to clinical situation, and it is easy to operate and has good reproducibility.

Chronic activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway performs a critical function in the pathogenesis of numerous subtypes of B-cell malignancies and transforms normal cells into malignant cells. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a member of the TEC family of tyrosine kinases and is a key regulator of the BCR signaling pathway. BTK inhibition has emerged as a new target for therapeutic intervention in B-cell malignancies. This review summarizes recent developments of BTK inhibitors in B-cell malignan-cies.
