Objective To investigate the expression of ER and PR in hyperplasia of mammary glands and breast cancer. Methods The expression of ER and PR in 68 hyperplasia of mammary glands cases and 168 breast cancer cases were quantified by immunohistochemical method. Results The expression of ER in breast cancer(30%) was significantly higher than that in hyperplasia of mammary glands(10 %)(P ＜0.05) and there was no significant difference in PR between them. The expression of ER in postmenopausal breast cancer was significantly higher than that in postmenopausal hyperplasia of mammary glands (P ＜0.05) and there was no significant difference in ER between two premenopausal groups. The expression of PR in invasive lobular carcinoma was significantly higher than that in invasive ductal carcinoma and other types (P=0.005).Conclusion The expression of ER and PR may identify the characteristics of patholobiology in breast disease.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment due to macular hole in high myopia. Methods:20 cases( 20 eyes) of retinal detachment due to macular hole in high myopia from Dec. 2000 to Apr. 2004 were analysed retrospectively. 3 cases were male and 17 were female, with a following up of 2 to 30 months (15 months in average). The Pars Plana Vitrectomy with long acting gas or silicon oil tamponade were used. The patients were kept face down at least 7 days after the surgery. Results:5 eyes used silicon oil and the others used gas tamponade. The successful rate of retinal reattachment was 80% ( 16/20) with one procedure in a month after the surgery . There were 4 cases of retinal redetachment in the follow-up duration, among them 3 cases used gas and one used silicon oil tamponade. All of them refused to accept another surgery. There were 3 eyes ( 15%) of the best corrected visual acuity greater than or equal to 0.05 before surgery and 11 eyes ( 55%) equal to or greater than 0.05 after the surgery. There was a significant difference between them(P= 0.0386 ). The main complications were slight retinal bleeding in 3 eyes ( 15%); second glaucoma in 2 eyes (10 %); nuclear cataract in 4 eyes ( 20%). Conclusion:Vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment with macular hole is available to improve visual acuity in high myopia.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) and breast cancer are common diseases of women. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBCs) is one type of breast cancer, which is of much attention in recent years. Important components of MS include central obesity, high blood sugar, high triglycerides and low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), which increased the inci-dence risk of TNBCs. Common biomarkers of MS including insulin, adiponectin and leptin play an important role in the oc-currence and development of breast cancer, especially TNBCs. Insulin-like growth factor-IImRNA binding protein 3 (IMP3, an oncofetal protein) may be TNBCs’new invasive cancer biomarkers. In this paper, the research progress on the relation-ship between MS and TNBCs is reviewed.

Objective To investigate the effect of ketamine injected into the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) of the thalamus on sensory processing of thalamocortical circuits in rats.Methods Twenty-four SpragueDawley rats in which the neurophysiological model was successfully established,aged 2 months,weighing 280-350g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6 each):control group (group C),specific inhibitor of NMDA receptors AP-5 group (group A) and two different concentrations of ketamine groups (K1 and K2 groups).Normal saline 1 μl,AP-5 5 μg/μl and ketamine 12.5 and 25.0 μg/μl were injected into the VPM in A,AP-5,K1 and K2groups,respectively.Somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of the rat was recoded at 4 time periods:300 s before administration-immediately after administration (baseline,T0),immediately after administration-300 s after administration (T1),300-600 s after administration (T2),600-900 s after administration (T3).Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,there was no significant difference in the peak amplitude of SEPs at T1-3 in group C (P ＞ 0.05),and the peak amplitude of SEPs was significantly decreased at T1-3 in A,K1 and K2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group C,the peak amplitude of SEPs was significantly decreased at T1-3 in A,K1 and K2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group A,the peak amplitude of SEPs was significantly increased at T3 in group K1 (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the peak amplitude of SEPs between A and K2 groups,K1 and K2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Ketamine results in damage to the integrity of sensory processing of thalamocortical circuits and reduction of incoming sensory information,and the mechanism may be related to blockade of NMDA receptors in VPM of the thalamus.

A 28-year-old male patient presented with a 4-year history of a solitary brown mass, and a 1-year history of multiple small papules on the left chest. Skin examination showed a quasi-round brown firm mass measuring about 1.2 cm × 1.1 cm × 1.0 cm in size on the left chest, and several brown papules with diameters ranging from 3 to 5 mm on the right side of the mass; no enlarged lymph nodes were detected in the left axilla on palpation. The mass and papules were completely resected, and histopathological examination showed clustered nevus cells in the superficial dermis of the mass and small papules, and the diagnosis of intradermal nevus was considered. There was a desmoplastic nodule in the mass, nevus cells were scattered among the fibers in the nodule, and giant nevus cells were also observed; the nevus cells in the nodule were relatively larger, epithelioid or spindle-shaped with round or spindle-shaped nuclei, obvious nucleoli, and rare mitotic figures. Immunohistochemical study showed that the nevus cells in both the intradermal nevus and proliferative nodule were positive for S100; the nevus cells in the superficial dermis of the intradermal nevus were positive for Melan-A and HMB45, while the nevus cells in the proliferative nodule were negative for Melan-A and HMB45; both the intradermal nevus and proliferative nodule tissues showed a Ki-67 index of 1%, positive staining for CD34, but negative staining for P16 and P63. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with intradermal nevus associated with desmoplastic nodule.

Objective To observe the growth characteristic of bulge-originated cells from human hair follicles in vitro. Methods The bulges which were isolated from human hair follicles by dispase and microdissection were cultured. The morphological and biological characteristic of the cultured bulge cells were observed by light microscopy and immunocytochemistry (ICC). Results Proliferated cells could be observed in the second day after being inoculated. The number of these cells, with greater proliferation potential, reached the peak at the sixth day and maintain several days. In addition, the mitotic figures appeared and the cells behave the similar morphologic features, meanwhile the cells strongly expressed K19 and showed a descensive tendency in long-time growth.Conclusion The cultured bulge cells kept the primitive characteristic, which suggested that the putative follicle stem cells resided in the bulge area.;
