1.Research development of triple-negative breast cancer chemotherapy
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(1):27-31
Triple-negative breast cancer ( TNBC ) is a subtype of breast cancer,and it is characterized by an aggressive clinical course with a poor prognosis.Treatment for TNBC has attracted much attention in recent years,however,there is no standard treatment for TNBC in clinical setting.The pCR rates of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in TNBC ranges from 12% to 48% in the current published data,and it is higher than that in other types of breast cancer,however,the fluctuating range of the TNBC ’s pCR is large in literature.Although the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy for early TNBC is controversial,the regimen without anthracyclines is reported to be suitable for early TNBC patients.Standard cytotoxic agents including taxanes and anthracyclines are still the main choices for TNBC salvage treatment,and the combination with gemcitabine or capecitabine may improve the overall survival.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a new molecular target for TNBC in ongoing studies.Further research on the target-inhibitors such as BSI-201and Olaparib will provide more effective choices to clinical treatment.
2.Relationship between perfectionism and depression in college students:mediation of self-esteem
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2013;(6):548-549
Objective To explore the mediation effect of self-esteem on the relationship between perfectionism and depression in college students.Methods Totally 292 college students completed Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS),Hewitt Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HMPS),Slaney Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R),Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (SES) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).Results Maladaptive perfectionism was positively correlated with depression (r =0.54,P < 0.01),and negatively correlated with self-esteem (r =-0.55,P < 0.01).Adaptive perfectionism was not correlated with depression (r =-0.09,P > 0.05),and was positively correlated with self-esteem (r =0.36,P <0.01).Self-esteem partially mediated the association between maladaptive perfectionism and depression.The partial mediation effect was significant (P <0.05).The mediation model fitted the data well (GFI =0.986,CFI =0.988,NFI =0.981,TLI =0.970,RMSEA =0.075).Conclusion Self-esteem has partially mediating effect on perfectionism and depression.
