Objective To explore the surgical indication, the operative procedure and effect of breast-conserving surgery plus combined treatment for the patients with early breast cancer. Methods 51 patients with early breast cancer were treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plus radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonotherapy postoperatively. The result of breast-conserving group was compared with 56 patients treated by modified radical mastectomy (control group). Results 25 patients underwent quadrant resection plus axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), 15 patients were subjected to local resection plus ALND, and 11 patients received quadrant resection only. All patients were followed-up for an average of 16.9 months. In BCS group, one patient was found to have local recurrence, and the distant metastasis rate was 0%. In the control group, no patient had local recurrence and the distant metastasis rate was 3.6%. The operative complication rate in BCS group and control group was 13.7% and 33.9% respectively (p﹤0.05). Conclusion Breast-conserving surgery plus combined treatment is safe and satisfactory for early breast cancer. It can be considered as the first choice for the treatment of patients with breast cancer in early stage.

Purpose Chronic nephropathy model was established with New Zealand rabbit, and the development of chronic nephropathy was monitored using virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) technique, to provide the experimental basis for chronic renal fibrosis assessment using VTQ technique. Materials and Methods Thirty-eight healthy New Zealand white rabbits were selected, of which 32 were induced into chronic nephropathy model with daily intravenous ear vein injection of cationic bovine serum albumin (C-BSA), with the other 6 rabbits without C-BSA injection as control group. At the end of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks, VTQ was used to measure the hardness of renal cortex in rabbits, then the rabbits were slaughtered to assess the pathological changes in kidney, correlation analysis between the VTQ parameters and the pathological parameters was performed. Results VTQ value of rabbit kidney cortex at 0 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks was (1.68±0.25) m/s, (1.70±0.31) m/s, (1.87±0.35) m/s, (2.19±0.31) m/s and (2.46±0.46) m/s respectively, difference of VTQ values between 6 weeks and 4 weeks was statistically signiifcant (P<0.05), and also signiifcant when compared 8 weeks with 4 weeks and 6 weeks (P<0.05). Glomerulosclerosis index of 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks were 0.81±0.40, 1.43±0.46 and 2.15±0.46 respectively, and tubular interstitial collagen deposition score were (14.29±4.62)%, (26.28±11.06)%, (42.37±10.09)%, which were all significantly higher than that in 0 week and 2 weeks, fibrosis increased gradually with the course, the difference was statistically signiifcant (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the VTQ value of renal cortex was positively correlated with glomerulosclerosis index (r=0.663, P<0.05) and tubular interstitial collagen deposition score (r=0.652, P<0.05). Conclusion VTQ technique is able to detect the VTQ change of renal cortex as the disease progressed in rabbits with chronic renal nephropathy, which was in a positive association with fibrosis index, suggesting that virtual touch tissues quantitative technology can be an important method to evaluate renal ifbrosis in chronic renal nephropathy.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters and the pathologic parameter of renal fibrosis.MethodsThirty-eight healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into the blank control group and the experimental group. The rabbits model was built by intravenous injection of C-bovine serum albumin (C-BSA) to rabbits of the experimental group. According to the different time points (2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks) after the injection of C-BSA, the rabbits in experimental group were randomly divided into 4 sub groups, 8 in each group. We collected the data of the CEUS parameters in the control group and the experimental group. Moreover, the renal tissues of the rabbits underwent pathologic examinations. Then, correlation analysis of CEUS parameters with parameters of renal fibrosis was performed.ResultsDynamic changes of CEUS parameters: Renal cortical perfusion reduced from 6 weeks after the injection, manifested as the time to peak (TTP) and mean transit time (MTT) of the experimental group were longer than those of control group and the derived peak intensity (DPI) of the experimental group was lower than that of control group (P<0.05 respectively). The DPI and TTP at 8 weeks after the injection of the experimental group was significantly lower than those of the control group [(26.96±2.34) dbvs (35.04±1.62) db,P<0.05; (24.31±1.82) svs (18.64±1.15) s,P<0.01]. Changes of each renal fibrosis parameter: we found that the results of the glomerulosclerosis indexes of the experimental group (4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks after the injection) were significantly higher than those of the control group (0.81±0.36, 1.43±0.25 and 2.15±0.30vs 0.13±0.07, allP<0.01). The tubular interstitial collagen deposition scores of the experimental group (4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks after the injection) were significantly higher than those of the control group (14.29%±4.62%, 26.28%±10.09% and 42.37%±10.41%vs 1.21%±0.15%, allP<0.01). As the disease progressed, the results of each parameter increased. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the TTP of renal cortex was positively correlated with the glomerulosclerosis index and tubular interstitial collagen deposition score (r=0.866 and 0.785, bothP<0.01). The DPI of renal cortex was negatively correlated with the glomerulosclerosis index and tubular interstitial collagen deposition score (r=-0.724 and -0.739, bothP<0.01).ConclusionsThe results showed that CEUS could evaluate microcirculation perfusion of renal cortex. There is a positive association between TTP and fibrosis index. There is a negative association between DPI and fibrosis index. Thus, CEUS is an important method to evaluate the renal fibrosis in chronic renal nephropathy.

OBJECTIVETo study blood Leptin level of 154 (78 male, 76 female) Chinese obese/non-obese children aged 0 - 14 years during 1999 - 2001.

METHODSThe gender- and age-specific distribution pattern of Leptin and its relationship with anthropometric parameters (waist circumference, waist/hip ratio, lean body mass, fat mass, body fat percentage, BMI/Kaup index etc.) and blood insulin level were recorded.

RESULTS(1) The blood Leptin level in healthy non-obese kids ranged from 1.01 - 29.92 (ng/ml), the mean values and SD were 2.99 +/- 2.13 (ng/ml) [90% confidence interval was 1.36 - 14.21 (ng/ml) in boys and 1.74 - 21.17 (ng/ml) in girls]. There was no significant difference in the blood Leptin level between serum and plasma. (2) The blood Leptin level was higher in overweight/obese kids than that in non-obese kids (P < 0.001). (3) There was significant difference in the blood Leptin levels between boys and girls groups (P = 0.023), especially in non-obese group (P = 0.004). The multiple regression analysis showed that there was no correlation between gender and blood Leptin level when body fat factor was added (P = 0.138, 0.241, 0.990), but there was still a strong correlation between blood leptin level and BMI, FM and BF% (P < 0.001). (4) There was a correlation between blood Leptin level and age (P = 0.005), especially in overweight/obese group and in girls (P = 0.001). The blood Leptin level rose from early puberty, especially in girl group (P = 0.045). There was significant difference in blood Leptin level in different age groups (P < 0.001) (5) There were strong positive correlation between blood Leptin level and BMI, BM and FM%, a weak correlation with LBM, and no correlation with W/H ratio in boys and a positive relationship in girls. The Quatatic equation was better than the linear equation in description of the correlation mentioned above. (6) There was a correlation between blood Leptin from 0 to 7 yr and birth weight (P = 0.001), after 7 yr of age this correlation disappeared (P = 0.456). (7) A positive correlation was seen between blood Leptin level and blood insulin level (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONThe blood Leptin level of 0 - 14 years old children is consistent with the level of growth of adiposity tissue and the degree of adiposity rebound.
