Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of triple negative breast cancer patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 1042 primary breast cancer patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2003 to December 2009.All breast cancer patients were categorized into three subgroups by immunohistochemistry:ERBB2 +,HR +/ERBB2 - and triple negative. Results Of 1042 breast cancer patients recruited,183 patients were in triple negative group.The rate of larger tumors ( greater than 2 cm in diameter) and grade Ⅲ in triple negative patients was higher than that in ERBB2 + and HR +/ERBB2 - patients (P ＜0.01 ).The positive rate of p53 status in ERBB2 + patients was higher than that in triple negative and HR +/ERBB2- patients (P ＜ 0.01 ).No significant differences were observed in other clinical variables.In survival analysis,more bone metastases were observed in HR +/ERBB2 - patients than in ERBB2 + and triple negative patients (P =0.006).However,no significant difference was observed in visceral metastases among the subgroups.There were significantly different recurrence-free survivals (RFS) among the three subgroups throughout the follow-up period ( P =0.029),the 5-year RFS of ERBB2 + was 80.3％,which was the worst in three groups. Conclusions Triple negative patients had higher rate of larger tumors (greater than 2 cm in diameter) and grade Ⅲ than that in ERBB2 + and HR +/ERBB2 - patients,while its 5-year RFS was higher than ERBB2 + patients.

Objective To explore the utility of cone-beam CT in the evaluation of prostatic arterial embolization (PAE). Methods In a retrospective study, images of DSA and cone-beam CT for PAE in 81 patients with moderate to severe grade benign prostatic hyperplasia were evaluated. In 162 cases of internal iliac arteries (ⅡAs) in 81 patients, images of 6 ⅡAs were excluded due to the technical problems. Therefore, images of 156ⅡAs were included for evaluation. We aim to evaluate the utility of cone-beam CT versus DSA in differentiating PAs and their origins, and demonstrating anastomoses with adjacent arteries. Statistical analyses were performed with Chi-square test to compare the rate of demonstrating vessels between cone-beam CT and DSA. Results One hundred and sixty-one PAs were demonstrated in 156ⅡAs by selective DSA and Cone-beam CT. Cone-beam CT and DSA images demonstrated 158 (98.1%, 158/161) and 130 (80.8%, 130/161) PAs, respectively. The statistical difference was significant (χ2=25.78, P<0.05). PAs were demonstrated by cone-beam CT images alone in 27ⅡAs (17.3%, 27/156) and were demonstrated by DSA images alone in 3ⅡAs (1.9%, 3/161).The statistical difference was significant (χ2=22.31, P<0.05). In 137 PAs that were initially defined by DSA alone, 7 of those (5.1%, 7/137) were eventually proven not to be PAs by further selective cone-beam CT acquisitions. Origins of PAs were shown by Cone-beam CT images alone in 11 ⅡAs. In the remaining 145 ⅡAs (92.9%, 145/156), origins of PAs were shown by both
cone-beam CT and DSA images. The percentage of PA anastomoses demonstrated by cone-beam CT was 42.3%(66/156), which was higher than DSA (31.4%, 49/156). The statistical difference was significant (χ2=3.98, P<0.05). Conclusions Cone-beam CT is useful in demonstrating PAs and their origins fromⅡAs, as well as anastomoses with adjacent arteries.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone (VCD) regimen and bortezomib dexamethasone (VD) regimen in the treatment of the patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Methods: The clinical data of 73 patients with NDMM in Shanxi Dayi Hospital from January 2013 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the chemotherapy regimen, the patients were divided into VCD group (41 cases) and VD group (32 cases). The efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were evaluated. Results: The overall response rate of VCD group and VD group was 80.5% (33/41) and 78.1% (25/32) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ ²= 0.061, P= 0.804); and complete remission (CR) rate was 36.6% (15/41) and 15.6% (5/32) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ ²= 3.970, P= 0.046); the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 27 months and 24 months respectively, and the median overall survival (OS) was 35 months and 33 months respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Most adverse reactions occurred in grade 1-2, in which peripheral polyneuropathy and thrombocytopenia were the most common. Peripheral neuritis was the most common finding among the adverse reactions of grade 3. The incidence of adverse reactions in both groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions VCD and VD regimen could be recommended as a better induction therapy for NDMM patients. Compared with VD scheme, VCD scheme has a higher CR rate.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified FC/ATG pretreatment in the treatment of severe aplastic anemia(SAA).Methods:From June 2012 to June 2020, clinical data of 64 patients with severe aplastic anemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with modified FC/ATG(Flu 30 mg·m -2·d -l, -5~-2 d、CTX 50 mg·kg -1·d -1~-2 d、ATG: 2.5 mg·kg -1·d -1, -5~-2 d) pretreatment were retrospectively analyzed.There were MSD-HSCT ( n=29) and Haplo-HSCT ( n=35). Results:One patient died of intracerebral hemorrhage before transplantation and the remainders were completely implanted.During a median follow-up period of 14.5(1-95) months, overall survival (OS) rate of 92.2%.It was significantly higher than OS rate of 67.2% in the treatment of SAA by foreign pretreatment regimens containing low-dose TBI.And pretreatment scheme containing FC+ BU/TBI had an OS of slightly >91.3% in the treatment of SAA.The 3-year OS rates were 85.7% and 93.5% in Haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups ( P=0.058). The OS rate of SAA Haplo-HSCT/MSD-HSCT group was similar to that of " Beijing Protocol" (BU/CY+ ATG) (89%, 91%). The viral infection rates of EB and CMV were significantly higher in haplo-HSCT group than those in MSD-HSCT group and inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, univariate analysis showed that two groups had no effect on survival time ( P=0.403, P=0.132). Univariate analysis showed that survival time was significantly associated with the presence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ° aGVHD and the presence of severe complications ( P=0.007, P=0.001). Further multivariate analysis revealed that severe complication was an independent risk factor for survival ( P=0.003). Conclusions:The efficacy of improved FC/ATG pretreatment in the treatment of SAA in MSD-HSCT or Haplo-HSCT is higher than other domestic and international pretreatment schemes in OS rate, safety and effectiveness.Onset of severe complication and association with Ⅲ ~ Ⅳ ° aGVHD are the influencing factors for patient survival.The efficacy of Haplo-HSCT group is similar to that of MSD-HSCT group.It may be employed as an alternative donor for SAA patients without fully congruent donors.

Objective To study the effects of excitation source, intraocular pressure and material parameters on frequency response of human eye under acoustic excitation. Methods Based on the three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of the whole eye, as well as the deformation and stress distribution of human eye, the effects of various parameters on frequency response of human eye were quantitatively analyzed. Results When other parameters were fixed and only the position and size of the excitation source changed, the amplitude at resonance of human eye (the acoustic excitation source was placed directly above the cornea, at an offset of 45°, and at larger excitation) at 134 Hz was 35, 48 and 133 μm, respectively. When only the intraocular pressure changed, the first-order resonance frequency was almost unaffected by the intraocular pressure, and the resonance frequencies of other orders would shift slightly to the left as the intraocular pressure increased. When only the scleral elastic parameters changed, the resonance frequency of eye tissues increased with the increase of the scleral elasticity. Conclusions The position and size of the excitation source have no effects on resonance frequency of human eye, but they have a greater effect on the resonance amplitude. The material parameters of human eye tissues have a greater effect on the frequency response, and there is a linear relationship between the intraocular pressure and resonance frequency. The results provide the theoretical basis for clinical development of high-performance intraocular pressure monitoring technology.
