Triple-negative (TN) carcinoma is a molecular subtype of breast cancer characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR) and HER-2.It is a heterogeneous disease,not only on the molecular level,but also on the pathologic and clinical aspects.TN tumors can be further classified into two subtypes:basal-like,defined as expressing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 by immunohistochemistry,and non-basal-like; the majority of TN tumors are basal-like.TN tumors usually have a more aggressive behaviour and poorer outcome compared with non-TN breast cancers,and lack molecular targets commonly used in targeted therapy,making this group of tumors difficult to treat.Developing novel,effective treatment strategies for these tumors is crucial for improving their prognosis.This review describes a recent study series on prognostic and predictive values of tumor biomarker susing in TN breast cancer patients.TN tumors are associated with significantly higher expression of Ki67 and p53 compared to non-TN tumors.Hormone receptor negativity rather than HER-2 negativity is associated with the increased Ki67 and p53 expression in TN tumors.Furthermore,high expression level of Ki67 ( ＞ 10％ ) but not p53,is significantly associated with nodal metastasis in TN tumors,indicating that Ki67 has better prognostic value than p53.TN tumors with distant metastases are significantly associated with lower expression of androgen receptor (AR) as compared to those with only loco-regional disease ; there is a significant negative correlation between AR and Ki67 expressions among AR expressing TN tumors.Basal-like subtype TN tumors with nodal and distant metastases are associated with significantly higher intratumoral expression of EGFR and CK5/6 as compared to those without metastases.Therefore,increased EGFR and CK5/6 intratumoral expression and decreased AR intratumoral expression,rather than the frequency of their expression,may play a role in the development of metastases and may be predictive of metastatic disease in TN breast cancer patients.Anti-EGFR and anti-AR targeted therapies may provide potential treatment options for TN carcinomas,especially those tumors not responding to chemotherapy.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of autologous drainage blood reinfusion in total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Methods Computers were used to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and VIP. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of autologous drainage blood reinfusion and vacuum suction without reinfusion after TKA were collected. And the results were analyzed by using the software RevMan5.1. Results Eight RCTs met the criteria for meta-analysis. Use of autologous drainage blood reinfusion significantly reduced the average amount of units of homologous blood transfusion, the length of hospital stay, and the number of patients requiring homologous blood transfusion. The rates of DVT formation and incision infection did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusions Autologous drainage blood reinfusion is a safe, effective procedure with less blood transfusion and medical cost. It can lower volume of allogeneic blood transfusion , shorten length of hospital stay, and avoid occurrence of complications.

Pancreatic abscess(PA)is the most serious complication of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),which can lead to systemic and/ or local complications,and even death. PA cannot be resolved automatically after the formation. Once diagnosed,early drainage,anti-infection and nutrition support should be undertaken,the most important is early drainage. In the past,the treatment of PA was mainly based on surgical treatment. With the development of minimally invasive techniques,endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)guided drainage and percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD)offer a new way for the treatment of PA. Preventing and early diagnosis of PA become a challenge in the treatment of SAP. This article reviewed the progress in diagnosis and treatment of SAP complicated with PA.

Antitumor drugs that target the signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors have attracted increasing attention with the development of antiangiogenic targeted therapy. Apatinib is a second-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor and a potent antiangiogenic agent. Apatinib is one of the recent oral molecular targeted anti tumor drugs. Clinical studies have indicated that apatinib exhibits high bioavailability and a tolerable safety profile. A series of large-scale randomized and controlled clinical trials before and after the release of the drug in the market have demonstrated encouraging objective response rate and survival benefit across a broad range of malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. Apa-tinib was approved and launched in China in 2014 as a subsequent-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer. Apatinib is currently undergoing phase II/III clinical trials for the treatment of numerous cancer types, such as gastric carcinoma, lung cancer, he-patocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer. These clinical trials are conducted to determine the antitumor activi-ty of apatinib when administrated alone or in combination with other therapies. This review summarizes the latest research progress of apatinib, including antitumor mechanisms, clinical effects on different tumor types, safety profile and adverse effects, drug interac-tions, as well as drug resistance and biomarkers. This article presents a deeper understanding of the clinical application of apatinib in anti tumor treatment, and provides reference for future clinical practice in therapeutic options for cancer patients.

Every year, waters on earth receive large quantities of wastewater from industry, agriculture, fish and poultry raising, and municipal sewage treatment plants. Consequently, the aquatic environment on the earth is under a serious challenge from a very large quantity of pollutants such as antibiotics, insecticides, herbicides, hydrocarbons, etc., contained in the domestic wastewater, industrial and agricultural waste water and illegal effluents. In particular, with the development of intensive aquiculture and poultry, the effluent pollution has recently become more and more serious with more attentions. Furthermore more and more chemical pollutants discharged into aquatic environment have been detected with the advancement of analytical techniques. These chemicals can cause toxic effects on water habitats after discharged into aquatic environment. However, microorganisms have many key functions in pollution control. In this review, applications of microorganism in the degradation of chemicals in aquatic environments are reviewed. It was concluded that most applications of microorganisms degrading chemicals focused on aquaculture waters, whereas other aquatic systems (such as river, lake, sea, coastal waters) have been scarcely studied.
