There was statistical significance between dysfunction of Chong and Ren channels and correlation of TCM constitutions (P<0.001).Conclusion Most hormone-dependent breast cancer patients are accompanied with yin deficiency pattern and the syndrome differentiation typing of dysfunction of Chong and Ren channels. There is correlation between dysfunction of Chong and Ren channels and TCM constitutions.

The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(15):2411-2414
Objective To investigate the optimal combination and the value of functional magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of breast tumors. Methods One hundred and forty patients who had been clinically and pathologically diagnosed as breast tumors in our hospital during the period of 2009 to 2013 were collected. 63 of whom had breast cancer and 77 had benign tumor. All the patients received 1H-MRS, DWI and dynamic enhanced MRI at the same time. The obtained images were analyzed and then compared with the pathological findings. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of MRS combined with DWI or dynamic enhanced MRI, or DwI combined with enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of breast cancer were obtained. Results All the diagnosis were pathologically confirmed. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 89.8%, 90.1%, and 90.0% for DWI combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI; 77.9%, 77.3% and 79.3% for MRS in combination with enhanced MRI; and 76.3%, 77.8% and 77.1% for DWI combined with MRS. There were significant differences among the three kinds of combination detection in diagnosis of breast cancer , χ2= 9.057, P = 0.011. Conclusions The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy is the highest in DWI combined with dynamic enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of breast tumor , which can be used as the best combination imaging for breast tumor.

Objective To analyse the changes of T lymphocytes and its subset in patients with scar hypertrophy. Methods In 6 keloid, 14 hypertrophic scar patients and 10 normal control, peripheral blood T lymphocytes (PBTL) and its subset were analysed with flow cytometry (FCM). Lymphocytic proliferation responsed to Con A stimulation in vitro lymphocytic culture system were performed and lymphocytic proliferation activity were assayed by the measurement of 3H TdR incorporation. Results The percent of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 + and ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in PBTL of keloid patients were 78.6 %, 49.7 %, 23.5 % and 2.4, and in hypertrophic scar patients group were 68.9 %, 47.6 %, 26.6 % and 2.2, in normal control group were 69.2 %, 37.2 %, 30.9 % and 1.9, respectively. Lymphocytic proliferation activity expressed as proliferation stimulation index were 17.4,15.9 and 8.7 respectively in keloid, hypertrophic scar and normal group. The level of CD4 +?CD4 +/CD8 + and lymphocytic proliferation stimulative index were all significantly higher in both keloid and hypertrophic scar patients than that in normal control. Conclusion Aberrant immunologic function may play an important role in the pathogenesis of scar.

Objective Vimentin is one of the proteins of cytoskele to n and cell movement. To investigate the effect of gene expression of fibroblast vimentin on the formation and contraction of hypertrophic scar in this report. Methods According to the results of differently expressed genes in hypertrophic scar by gene microarray, Vimentin, one of the most important g enes , was selected and made into oligonucleotide probe. 24 cases of hypertrophi c scar and 24 non-hypertrophic scar and 12 normal skin were used and these scar were taken on 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after burned. Frozen section and cultured f ibroblasts were made to detect the expression of the gene by in situ hybridizati on. Results Expression of vimentin was defected in scar tissue, but those in the hypertrophic scar on 3 and 6 months after burn were significan tly stronger than those in the hypertrophic scar on 9 and 12 months after burn a nd non-hypertrophic scar. Conclusions Over-expression of cyto skeletal relative genes causes the contraction of scar and vimentin acts leading and key functions.
