Objective To evaluate the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of occult breast cancer(OBC). Methods Clinical data of 12 OBC cases from June 1995 to June 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 12 female; the mean age was 52.7 years(39~66). Tumor of all cases was in one of breasts, left(10 cases) or right(2 cases), 4 cases in pro- menostasis, 8 cases in post-menopause, and inci-dence of OBC in all kinds of breast cancer was 0.5% (12/2385). All cases were found because of lump in axillary fossa, the biopsy of 10 showed cases were lymph node adenocarcinoma metastatic, the fine needle aspiration of 2 cases were lymph node adenocarcinoma metastatic. Three cases were positive in the determi-nation of estrogen receptor of lymph node adenocareinoma metastatic. Two cases, suspecting breast cancer,could be found fine calcification in the examination of breast X-ray molybdenum target in 10 cases. Buhra-sound in 11 cases and near infrared ray scan in 10 cases did not detect cancer in breast; chest X-ray and Bultrasound in 10 cases and CT and all over the body bone scan in 5 cases did not found any cancer besides breast. Ten cases used modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer, one case radical mastectomy for breast cancer, one palliative operation. Pathological diagnosis of 9 cases after operation found breast primary le-sion, 6 cases were infiltrated duct cancer, 3 eases were intraductal cancer. All cases received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Three cases which were positive in the determination of estrogen receptor of lymph node adenocarcinoma metastatic received TAM. Followed-up was made from 3 to 10 years, 11 cases were not found recurrence or metastses, and 5 cases had been living over 5 years. Conclusions OBC is one of rare special breast cancers. The powerful infiltrating capability leads to lump in axillary fessa in prophase and dis-rant metastses. The biopsy and fine needle aspiration would be used for diagnosis. Modified radical mastecto-my for breast cancer is the usual therapy method.

Objective To establish a mathematical model to describe the skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion of patient dental and basal bone arch form, for providing a data reference and basis for further study. Methods Thirty-five patients with skeletal classⅢmalocclusion were selected in this study for computed tomography CBCT. The data of 3-D image were analyzed, and dental arch marker (Fa) and base bone arch marker (Ba) were determined. The reference plane was determined by least square method. Software Matlab 7.0 was used to calculate two-dimensional coordinate system. Based on this, a mathematical model was established to describe the dental and basal bone arch form and then to validate the mathematical model. Results (1) The mathematical model can be used to describe the dental arch form of skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, maxillary:Y=46.12 [1-(2X/70.99)2]1.052;mandibular:Y=39.16 [1-(2X/64.51)2]1.038. (2) The mathematical model can be used to describe the basal bone arch form of skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, maxillary:Y=43.14 [1-(2X/75.09)2]1.061;mandibular:Y=39.03 [1-(2X/60.63)2]1.021. (3) Fa was located at Ba labial side in the maxilla, the distance was positive. Fa was located at Ba lingual side in the mandibular, and the distance was negative. (4) The fitting correlation coefficient of beta-function curve and each tooth on the dental and basal bone arch of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion were greater than 0.7 (P<0.05). Conclusion In this study, the mathematical model can be used to describe the dental and basal bone arch form of the skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, which can guide further research.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between Angle's class III patients' occlusion plane and anterior overbite by controlling the changes in occlusion plane during orthodontic treatment.
METHODSIn total, 90 Angle's class III adult orthodontic patients were selected as the experimental group, and 30 normal adults were selected as the control group. According to the overbite, the class III patients were divided into three groups, and 14 indicators were measured. ANOVA and multiple comparison analysis were used to analyze the difference between class III patients, and linear analysis was used to analyze the correlation between anterior overbite and anterior-posterior occlusion plane.
RESULTSIn class Ill patients, posterior occlusion plane and anterior overbite size were negatively correlated (r = -0.24, P < 0.05), whereas anterior occlusal plane and anterior overbite size were positive correlated (r = 0.23, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe shape of the occlusion plane varies in different anterior overbite patients. During orthodontic treatment in different overbite class III patients, the vertical height of the posterior teeth and the rotation of the occlusion plane should be controlled.

Objective To construct the red fluorescent protein reporter gene vector containing high mobility group box 1 protein(HMGB1) promoter sequence and study the regulation mechanism of the expression of HMGB1gene under mechanical stretch.Methods HMGB1 promoter was subcloned into a red fluorescent protein vector,pDsRed1-1.After identified by PCR,enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing,the recombinant vector pDsRed1-1-HMGB1P was then transfected into HEK293 cells.Blank vector or pDsRed-1 was transfected into 293 cells and served as controls.The expression of red fluorescent protein and its reaction to mechanical stretch were observed under a fluorescent microscope.HEK293 cells transfected with pDsRed1-1 vector served as control.Results PCR,double restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequence analysis showed that the recombinant vector,pDsRed1-1-HMGB1P,was constructed correctly.This vector was lowly expressed in HEK293 cells of resting state.But after stimulated by mechanical stretch,strong red fluorescence was observed.No red fluorescence was observed in the control cells.Conclusion A red fluorescent protein reporter gene vector containing HMGB1 promoter sequence has been constructed successfully and expressed highly in mammalian cells.Since it responds to mechanical stretch effectively,it can thus provide a convenient tool to study the regulation mechanism of the expression of HMGB1 gene by mechanical stress.

Objective To compare changes in dental arch and soft and hard tissue produced by the Damon Q self-ligating bracket and 3M metal bracket with non-extraction treatment in maxillary mild-to-moderate crowding cases. Meth-ods Eighty seven patients were selected in our study, who were assigned to 4 groups by the crowding degree of maxillary and appliance type:ⅠandⅡcrowding degree using Damon Q self-ligating bracket groups (41 cases);ⅠandⅡcrowding de-gree 3M metal bracket groups (46 cases). We measured lateral cephalometric radiographs and dental casts at both beginning and end of treatment. Paired t-tests and group t-tests were used in statistical analysis to compare the alteration in dental arch and soft and hard tissue. Results There was significant increase in width and length of maxillary dental arch by non-extraction treatment withⅠandⅡcrowding degree maxillary, but the results of both groups were not of statistical difference. To compare hard and soft tissue in two groups withⅡcrowding degree maxillary, the reduction of nasolabial angle, angle of inclination of upper lip, angle of upper lip and lower lip had obvious statistical significance and it is more prominent in self-ligating bracket group than in conventional bracket group. Conclusion Using non-extraction treatment, when maxillary crowding is moderate, ,Damon Q self-ligation bracket group result in more prominent changes of upper lip protrusion than 3M bracket with more marked crowding . Therefore, clinical doctors should pay more attention to choose bracket and treat-ment system for patients with marked crowding of maxillary dentition.
