Objective To explore the clinical significance of preserving the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) in the radical resection of breast cancer. Method All of 140 cases of breast cancer with Ⅰ - Ⅲ a stage operable eligible,were randomly divided into the experimental group with 79 cases (7 cases were rejected, 1 case was lost) that patients received radical resection of breast cancer with preservation of ICBN,and the control group with 61 cases (2 cases were lost) that patients received routine radical resection of breast cancer based on the time of admission. Analyzed postoperative local recurrence and compared to sensory dysfunction of the two groups. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients in the rate of postoperative local recurrence [0-4.2% ( 3/71 ) vs. 0-3.4% (2/59)] ( P > 0.05 ). The local sensory disturbance of the experimental group [2.8% (2/71 )-11.3% (8/71)] was significantly lower than the control group [54.2%(32/59)-71.2%(42/59)], there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Radical resection of breast cancer with preservation of ICBN is an ideal operation in breast cancer.

Objective: To investigate the application of the calculated electrophysiological parameters in early
diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: 44 patients (60 hands) with a diagnosis of
CTS and 31 healthy volunteers (44 hands) were enrolled. Acquired indicators include median nerve
distal motor latency (DML), complex muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude, conduction velocity
(MCV), median nerve sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude, and conduction velocity
(SCV). Then the terminal latency index (TLI), the residual latency (RL), and the difference in peak
sensory latencies between the median and ulnar nerves (ΔPSL) were calculated. Results: The two
groups were matched in age and gender distribution. The CTS group showed significant difference
in SCV, DML, SNAP, and CMAP compared with the control group. The sensitivity, specificity, cutoff value, Youden index, and area under the curve of each indicator are respectively as follows: TLI
(0.733, 0.932, 0.622, 0.629, and 0.877), RL (0.750, 0.977, 1.334, 0.727, and 0.907), ΔPSL (0.950,
0.841, 0.150, 0.791, and 0.942), SCV (0.950, 0.796, 56.5, 0.746, and 0.946), DML (0.867, 0.932,
3.55, 0.799, and 0.930), SNAP (0.683, 0.932, 21.68, 0.615, and 0.844), and CMAP (0.683, 0.773,
8.76, 0.456, and 0.758).
Conclusion: The calculated electrophysiological parameters have higher sensitivities and specificities
relative to a single electrophysiological parameter, which could greatly improve the accuracy of early
diagnosis of CTS.

Objective To summarize the cytological features of breast carcinoma by fine needle aspiration and differential diagonsis of breast hyperplasia and breast flbroadenoma. Methods Cytological features about 175 cases of breast cancer were analyzed,contrasted with 76 cases of breast hyperplasia and 93 eases of fibroadenoma. And 20 cases of low-diagnosis breast cancer were analyzed, compared with 13 cases of excessive diagnosis. Results The followings were found:disorderly arranged cells in 169 cases of breast cancer, about 96.9% in 175 cases,loose distance between the nucleus in 125 cases of all cases (about 71.4%). The percentage of small groups or scattered cells, medium size cells, round nucleus and irregular border nucleus was 34.3% (60/175) ,81.1% (142/175), 88.6% (155/175) and 28.6% (50/175) respectively. The nucleus/cytoplasm ratio was increased in 105 cases of all (about 60%). The nucleus/cytoplasm ratio was obviously reduced in 15 cases of all (about 8.6%). Big nucleolis were observed in 49 cases of all (about 28%). There was significant difference between nucleus size in 136 cases of all (about 77.7%). There was not myoepithelial cell in 168 cases of all (about 96%). The percentage of visible necrosis, scsttered round nucleus and integrity of cytoplasmic was 13.7% (24/175) ,89.7% (157/175), 66.9% (117/175) respectively. The cases of all above features were significantly more than those of breast hyperplasia and breast fibroadenoma (P <0.05). The percentage of large number of cells was 52.6% in 175 breast cancer cases,higher than 5.3% in 76 breast hyperplasia cases. There was a significant difference(P <0.05) between two groups. In 20 cases of low-diagnosis breast cancer the percentage of round nucleus with integrity of cytoplasmic, special arrangement cells was 70% (14 cases) ,35% (7 cases) ,higher than the cases in 13 excessive diagnosis cases. There was a significant difference(P < 0.05) between two groups. Conclusion The cell morphological characteristics of breast caner by fine needle aspiration are large number of cells, loose distance between the nucleus, disorderly arranged cells, small guoups or scattered cells, integrity of cytoplasmic, increased nuclear, round nuclear, irregular border nucleus,increased or decreased nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, big nucleoli, significant difference in nuclear size, no myoepithelial cell, visible necrosis. Most of breast cancer can be distinguished from breast hyperplasia and breast fibroadenoma by above characteristics. All those cytological characteristics are helpful to identify difficult case.

The paper is to report the study of pharmacokinetics of transdermal administered nicotine in the brain of freely moving rat by using microdialysis with stable labeled isotope as internal standard. The pharmacokinetic behavior of nicotine in Sprague Dawley rat brain was investigated after intranasal administration (3.75 mg). Brain fluid samples were collected by intracerebral microdialysis with DL-nicotine as internal standard. Concentrations of nicotine and DL-nicotine in the sample were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed by Das 2.0 pharmacokinetic software. The recovery of nicotine and the delivery of DL-nicotine were the same. The fate of absorption and distribution was two compartment model and the values of t1/2alpha was 170.31 min, t1/2beta was 263.30 min and the AUC(0-infinity) was 2.75 x 10(5) microg x L(-1) min separately. DL-nicotine can be used to calibrate the recovery of nicotine, and the new method of stable isotope microdialysis can be used to study the pharmacokinetics of freely moving rat. It will make sense for the treatment of addiction of tobacco and provide a new thought for the research of pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamic combination.
