Objective To determine the quality of life of patients treated with one of three different types of surgery for breast cancer.Methods This was a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire survey completed by Chinese patients without active disease after at least 2 years of follow-up after breast cancer surgery.Results This study totally included 139 breast cancer patients:44 ( 31.6%) had undergone modified radical mastectomy with reconstruction, 41(29.5%)had a quadrantectomy with axillary lymph node dissection, and 54(38.9%)had a modified radical mastectomy without reconstruction.The EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 question-naires were used;their reliability was>0.82.Global health status(94.30 ±12.04, P=0.028)and role functio-ning(85.16 ±17.23, P=0.138)were highest in the quadrantectomy group.Pain score was highest in the modi-fied radical mastectomy with reconstruction group(26.13 ±30.15, P =0.042).The breast symptom score (22.56 ±22.30, P=0.009)and body image perception(85.56 ±19.72, P=0.025)were highest in the conser-vative treatment group.The overall health of patients given modified radical mastectomy without reconstruction was lower(72.61 ±20.89, P=0.014) in women older than 50 years compared with younger women.Conclu-sions The quadrantectomy with axillary lymph node dissection procedure had better acceptance, but the overall health status did not differ between groups.Overall health status is lower in women older than 50 years receiving a modified radical mastectomy without reconstruction.

Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common complication in thoracic cancer patients through radiotherapy, which can be divided into the early-stage radiation-induced pneumonitis (RP) and late-stage radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF). At present, glucocorticoids are mainly adopted in the clinical treatment of RP. However, there has been no effective medical treatment for RILF. RILF patients will eventually die from respiratory failure. The exact mechanism of RILI remains unclear. Current studies have proposed that its possible pathogenesis might consist of genetic heterogeneity, oxidative stress and cell damage. In this review, studies related to the pathogenesis of RILI were summarized.

The hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilization technology solved the problems of thermo-sensitive materials' disinfection and sterilization based on its development and unique characteristics. This paper introduced the researches of clinical application quality control, and showed the hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilizers were being widely used in hospitals and highly recognized. According to the clinical data and the literatures of the domestic equipment in preliminary application, it could be concluded that the technology maturity of domestic hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilizers was in a high level. The advantages of using domestic hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilizers to do disinfection and sterilization included lower cost, safer, faster and non-toxic, etc. Also the management system should be improved and the clinical staff should master the technical essentials, obey the procedures strictly, verify periodically and offer full monitoring to upgrade the quality of sterilization.

Objective To investigate the localization,zone and activation intensity of olfactory center in young versus elderly healthy volunteers by functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI),so as to elucidate the effect of age on olfactory center in healthy population.Methods Thirteen right-handed healthy adult volunteers were recruited and divided into two groups:young group (5 males and 3 females,mean aged 23 years) and elderly group (2 males and 3 females,mean aged 69.2 years).The olfactory stimulus was r-undecalactone,and it was given according to a block design.The fMRI detection was performed on Philips Achieva 3.0 T MR scanner,and data of BOLE-fMRI was processed and analyzed to get cerebration image by using SPM2.Results In groupaveraged maps,both young and elderly group showed significant olfactory activation in right parahippocampal gyrus,left hippocampal sulcus,right and left superior temporal gyrus,etc,subcortical activation in right thalamus,dorsal pons,and cerebellum activation in cerebellar vermis.Activations in right inferior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,right medial occipito-temporal gyrus and right fimbria of hippocampus were observed only in young group,while activation in bilateral middle temporal gyrus was observed only in elderly group.Activation area was apparently smaller and activation degree was lower in elderly group than in young group.Activation intensity in right superior parietal lobule and bilateral superior temporal gyri was higher in male group than in female group (t=13.7,6.08,5.36,respectively,all P<0.001).Conclusions The intensity of activation in olfactory center is lower in the elderly than in the young,and absence of part of the active regions is found in the elderly,which demonstrates the regression of olfactory center in the elderly.The olfactory center shows right-predominant activation,and olfactory activation intensity in some cortical regions is higher in males than in females.

Objective To establish a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector containing human interferon-?(IFN-?) cDNA,and investigate the expression of IFN-? gene in transfected hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. Methods pcDNA3-IFN-?,established by subcloning IFN-? cDNA into a mammalian expression vector pcDNA3,was mediated into HCC cell lines SMMC-7721 and QGY-7701 by lipofectamine. The transfected HCC cells were selected in RPMI1640 containing G418(400~700?g).RT-PCR analysis and ELISA assay were used for mRNA transcription and protein expression of IFN-? gene. Results IFN-? mRNA was detected only in pcDNA3-IFN-? transfected cell lines, and high levels of IFN-? protein were detected only in the supernatants of IFN-? gene-modified cell lines. Conclusions pcDNA3-IFN-? can stably expressIFN-? cDNA in the transfected HCC cell strains
