Objective To investigate the role of HBXIP overexpression in the prognostic evaluation of breast cancer. Methods HBXIP expression was detected in the tissues of 60 breast cancer cases and 15 cases of ductal cancer in situ (DCIS) as well as in the adjacent non-tumorous tissues of 27 cases of breast cancer using EnVision immunohistochemical staining method. The correlations between the HBXIP overexpressions and the clinical pathological characters of the patients with breast cancer were also analyzed. Results The HBXIP proteins showed a major cytoplasmic staining pattern in breast cancer. The strongly positive rate of HBXIP was75.0%(45/60) in breast cancer, significantly higher than in DCIS (20.0%, 3/15) and adjacent non-tumorous tissues (14.8%, 4/27). High-level expression of HBXIP was correlated with late clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and HER-2 positive expression in breast cancer. Conclusions The expression level of HBXIP is closely related to the progression and prognosis of breast cancer. It might be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target of breast cancer.

Background:Esophageal cancer is a commonly seen gastrointestinal malignancy. Early detection of superficial neoplastic lesions is critical for improving the prognosis. Therefore,it is of great importance to explore new endoscopic techniques for increasing the detection rate of early esophageal cancer. Aims:To assess the diagnostic accuracy of targeted biopsy guided by magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging(ME-NBI)for suspected superficial lesions in esophagus. Methods:In a prospective cross-over designed trial,65 patients with suspected superficial lesions in esophagus detected by conventional gastroscopy were randomly assigned to group A and group B. Patients in group A received primary white light imaging(WLI)with Lugol’s staining followed by ME-NBI 4-6 weeks later,and patients in group B received primary ME-NBI followed by WLI with Lugol’s staining 4-6 weeks later. Random biopsy was performed in WLI with Lugol’s staining,while targeted biopsy was performed in ME-NBI based on Inoue’s intraepithelial papillary capillary loop (IPCL)classification. Results:A total of 58 patients completed the study and 68 lesions were eligible for statistical analysis. More biopsies were taken in WLI with Lugol’s staining than in ME-NBI(3. 7 vs. 2. 2 per lesion,P < 0. 05). The overall agreement of IPCL classification with definite pathological diagnosis was 89. 7% . The overall agreement of targeted biopsy by ME-NBI and random biopsy by WLI with Lugol’s staining was 85. 3% ;the specificity and positive predictive value of both ME-NBI and WLI with Lugol’s staining for neoplastic lesions were 100% ,but the sensitivity of ME-NBI was superior to that of WLI with Lugol’s staining(90. 0% vs. 70. 0% ,P < 0. 05). The agreement of ME-NBI-guided targeted biopsy with definite pathological diagnosis was slightly higher than that of random biopsy by WLI with Lugol’s staining(89. 7% vs. 86. 8% ,P > 0. 05). Conclusions:ME-NBI-guided targeted biopsy is superior to random biopsy by WLI with Lugol’s staining for detection of superficial neoplastic lesions in esophagus with higher sensitivity and less number of biopsy. It might benefit the follow-up endoscopic treatment.

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to analyze the underlying bacterial pathogens of the tonsils and adenoids in children with sleep-disordered breathing(SDB).METHODS The core tissue from the tonsils and/or adenoids of 163 SDB children was cultured aerobically. Of the 163 cases, 120 children underwent adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy simultaneously(A+T), 39 children underwent adenoidectomy(A) and 4 tonsillectom(T) only. 124 children who underwent tonsillectomy were subdivided into two groups based on history(with or without a history of recurrent tonsillitis). 71 children with the history were enrolled in the 'recurrent tonsillitis group' and 53 children without the history were enrolled in 'non- recurrent tonsillitis group'.RESULTS Of the total 120 cases who underwent A+T, 114(95.00%) cases had same distribution of bacteria detected in both sides in the same patient. Besides this, 17 cases in whom mixed organisms were identified in both sites shared common pathogen. No significant difference in the detection rates of staphylococcus aureus and haemophilus influenzae were found when we compared seasons(Tonsil:χ2=8.538,P=0.201; Adenoid:χ2=5.427, P=0.490). No significant difference in the type and detection rate of essential bacteria was found when we compared between recurrent tonsillitis group and 'non-recurrent tonsillitis group' (χ2=3.028,P=0.387).CONCLUSION The bacterial isolates from the tonsils and adenoids are virtually identical in type and detection rate in the same SDB patient. The bacterial distribution of the tonsillar and adenoidal core is unaffected by the seasonal variation and history of recurrent tonsillitis.
