Objective To study the advances in research of breast cancer during pregnancy. Methods The literatures in recent years were reviewed. Results A lot of evidences suggested that the diagnosis may be delayed easily. The diagnosis was primarily made by needle aspiration cytology and biopsy. The treatment of pregnant breast cancer was not different from ordinary breast cancer, however the factor of foetus should be taken into account. Termination of pregnancy did not improve survival.Conclusion Pregnant breast cancer is mostly at later stage at the time of diagnosis and has poorer prognosis than ordinary breast cancer. The patients with breast cancer during pregnancy usually have an equivalent survival rate when compared with age and stage-matched ordinary group. Future pregnancy may be allowed after two years of treatment in patients with early breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and genotype distribution of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection among patients with cervical carcinoma or precancerous lesions in Xuzhou region. Methods 688 patients with cervical lesions confirmed by colposcopic biopsy were assigned to three groups:low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (187 cases), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (359 cases) and cervical carcinoma (142 cases). The genotypes of HPV were determined by nucleic acid hybridization technique. The prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV were further analyzed. Results The infection rates of HPV in LSIL , HSIL and ICC group were 68.98 % (129/187), 94.99 % (341/359), 95.78 % (136/142), respectively. These rates were statistically significant different (P< 0.05). With the aggravation of cervical lesions, HR-HPV infection rate was gradually increased and LR-HPV infection rate was gradually decreased. The most common HPV types were listed below in order of decreasing prevalence. LSIL:HPV16, 52, 58, 18, 31; HSIL: HPV16, 58, 33, 31, 52; cervical carcinoma: HPV16, 31, 58, 18, 33. Based on the cumulative logistic regression model, confidence intervals of the relevance between the overall HPV prevalence and occurrence of cervical lesions were calculated: HPV16 (OR= 7.215, P< 0.05), HPV31 (OR=2.768, P<0.05), HPV33 (OR=1.846, P<0.05), HPV58 (OR=1.726, P<0.05) Conclusions The prevalence of HR-HPV infections increased with the aggravation of cervical carcinoma in Xuzhou region. In order of decreasing prevalence, the most prevalent of HPV types are HPV16, 31, 33, 58. The results indicate that HPV18 have strong tumorigenicity, but is not popular in Xuzhou region. By contrast HPV52 is more common in LSIL than that in cervical carcinoma.

Objective To study the expression of hyaluronidase(HAase) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in the invasion and metastasis of human breast cancer.Methods The expression of HAase and MMP-9 in human breast cancer was detected using tissue homogenate preparing, enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay(ELSA),and immunohistochemistry examination.Results ①The levels of HAase were 4.89?2.55,8.03?2.66,and 12.00?3.96 mU/g in grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ of breast cancer,respectively(n=10,20,3),with significant differences between each other(P

Objective To study the effect of hyaluronidase and VEGF on human breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Methods By means of ELSA and immunohistochemistry, hyaluronidase and VEGF were detected in breast cancer. Results Hyaluronidase were (3.99?1.91) mU/g, (8.01?2.59) mU/g and (12.00?3.96) mU/g in gradeⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ of breast cancer respectively.

Objective To find out the possible regularity and mechanism of the adaptable change of human being T lymphocytes for physical exercise with oxygen and bring the original data for the Movement of All People Improving their Health. Methods We selected 16 untrained female students in university and let them had the same amount of exercise for 8 weeks. After that, we collected the cycle blood at the time point of before exercise, the end of exercise and 1 hour after exercise at the end of the 0,first,2 nd,4 nd,6 nd and 8 nd week respectively, so as to determine its stimuli index (SI) by MTT method. Results In the different time sect, such as the early stage of exercise, quiet condition,as soon as the end of exercise and 1 hour after exercise, we found that the SI were obviously Iower than that of normal (P＜0. 05) ,especially in the time sect of the end of exercise. Continuing to 4 weeks,the function of T lymphocytes restored gradualy and it lasted to the 8 th week, the SI in quiet condition and 1 hour after exercise had restored to normal(P＞0.05),but in the end of exercise, it still was Iow,however, the extent of the cases selected was in a condition of acute excitability. Conclusion As the bodies adapting to the exercise, the function of T lymphocytes restored slowly and the rate increased faster and faster.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of early intervention of acupuncture on urinary function reconstruction of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury, so as to find the optimal treatment timing of acupuncture.

METHODSFifty-three patients of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury were randomly divided into a prior-to-catheter group (25 cases) and a posterior-to-catheter group (28 cases). For the prior-to-catheter group, one week before the removal of catheter, acupoints on the abdomen and back such as Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3), Baliao (Shangliao (BL 31), Ciliao (BL 32), Zhongliao (BL 33), Xialiao (BL 34), Jiaji (EX-B 2) and acupoints at distal end such as Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) were selected; after the catheter removal, simple method. of water column was used to measure bladder capacity pressure to classify the type of bladder, and then different acupuncture manipulations were given; intermittent catheterization was performed if condition was allowed. The posterior-to-catheter group applied identical treatment after removal of catheter as the prior-to-catheter group. The treatment was given 5 times per week; after one-month treatment, five aspects including the time of first effective urination, time of establishing reflex urination, average residual volume of urine, time of residual urine less than 100 mL and quality of life (QOL) were evaluated.

RESULTSAfter treatment, the time of first effective urination, time of establishing reflex urination, average residual volume of urine and time of residual urineless than 100 mL in the prior-to-catheter group were all superior to those in the posterior-to-catheter group (all P<0. 05) ; the score of QOL was improved in two groups after treatment (both P<0. 01), but the difference between two groups was not statistically significant (P>0. 05); each index of urination function was not significant among patients with different injured segments of spinal cord (all P>0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe early intervention of acupuncture (prior to catheter) has obvious improving function on establishing balanced bladder in patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury, which is superior to acupuncture intervention after removal of catheter, however, the effects of different injured segments on establishing balanced bladder are not different.
