Spindle cell carcinoma of the breast (SpCC) is a very rare variant of breast cancer characterized as large tumor size,high histological grade and high negative expression of hormone receptors and HER2/neu protein.It has a high tendency for local recurrence and distant metastasis,while the axillary lymph node metastasis is less common occured,which leads to poor outcomes.Given the relatively low incidence,our knowledge about SpCC is limited.The main unsolved obstacles are the early dection and diagnosis,and the improvement in treatments.Herein,this article reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristic,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of the spindle cell carcinoma of breast.

Objective:To observe the occlusal changes of patients with chronic periodontitis(CP)after initial periodontal therapy an-alysed by T-scan Ш occlusal analysis system.Methods:26 patients with CP were included.The patients were treated by initial perio-dontal therapy,including scaling,subgingival curettage,root planning and oral hygiene instruction.The occlusion time(OT),disoclu-sion time(DT),center of force trajectory(COFT),the percentage of bite force for maximum movie force at maximum area frame (MABF /MMF)and the bite force distribution balance between the left and right sides (BFDB)were measured by T-scan III occlusal analysis system before and six weeks after the treatment.All the data were statistically analyzed.Results:After initial periodontal treatment,the OT and DT extended for (0.20 ±0.14)s and (0.11 ±0.08)s respectively(P <0.05),the COFT increased by (0.81 ±1.19)mm(P <0.05).Moreover,the MABF /MMF and BFDB decreased by(7.20 ±4.41)% and (8.90 ±7.71)% respectively (P <0.05).Conclusion:Initial periodontal treatment may improve the occlusion of patients with chronic periodontitis.

Objective To investigate the effect of artesunate on the expression of heat shock protein 47(Hsp47)in pulmonary fi-brosis in rats.Methods Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into control group,model group and artesunate intervention group (intervention group).Rats in control group were intrachacheally instilled with saline (0.4 mL),while rats in other two groups 5 mg/kg bleomycin.Rats in both control group and model group were intraperitoneal injected with 1 mL saline per day sub-sequently.And the rats in intervented group were intraperitoneal injected with 10 mg/100 g artesunate per day.The body weight of day 0,day 14 and day 28 were recorded.All the rats were sacrificed on day 28.The pulmonary coefficient and the hydroxyproline content were observed.The expression of Hsp47mRNA and CollagenⅠmRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR.The Hsp47 expression was also detected by Western Blot.The pathological changes were analyzed by hamatoxylin-eosin (HE)stain and Masson stain.Re-sults (1)The body weight of control group grew much faster than other groups (P <0.05).(2)Pulmonary coefficient:model group (12.31±1.89)mg/g>intervention group (8.54±0.67)mg/g>control group(4.81±0.38)mg/g (P <0.05).(3)Ashcroft Scores:model group(5.70±1.09 )>control group (3.08±0.56),model group(5.70± 1.09)>intervention group (4.01 ± 1.25).There was no significant difference between control group and intervention group(P >0.05).(4)Hydroxyproline content:model group (620.33±66.16)μg/g>control group(379.00±35.51)μg/g,model group (620.33±66.16)μg/g >intervention group(429.00± 36.51)μg/g (P <0.05),there was no significant difference between control group and intervention group.(5)Hsp47mRNA expres-sion:model group and intervention group > control group (P <0.05),there was no difference between the first two groups(P >0.05).CollagenⅠmRNA:model group > intervention group>control group (P <0.05).(6)Western blot showed that Hsp47 ex-pression of model group was the highest in all three groups.Conclusion These results indicate that artesunate might inhibit pulmo-nary fibrosis and depress CollagenⅠproduction,and it′s probably a result of Hsp47 down regulation.

0.05).While compared with the control,the permeation enhancement effects of 5% concentration of Lecithin,Oleic acid,Menthol,Limonene,and Azone were 1.37,2.25,3.71,6.75,and 10.15 times,respectively.CONCLUSION: Compared with Simomenine Hydrochloride,Simomenine free base had excellent transdermal characteristics,and was more suitable for the development of new transdermal preparation.

Background and purpose:The antitumor drugs produce a marked effect through the induction of apoptosis. The resistance to chemotherapy has been found to be associated with abnormal expression of genes related to apoptosis. We designed this experiment to investigate the role of survivin gene in the resistance to chemotherapy. Methods:After being treated with Hydroxycamptothecine (OPT,21.96mmol/L), the apoptosis in gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 cells were evaluated by either flow cytometry(FCM) or the terminal deoxynucleotidy transfer mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL). The expression of Survivin was detected by reverse transcription-Polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry.Results:Compared to control group, the OPT can induced apoptosis in BGC-823[(12.68?0.17)% vs (3.35?0.13)% by FCM,(16.00?1.23)% vs (2.78? 0.84)% by TUNEL[, OPT could upregulate survivin expression in BGC-823 cells (1.489?0.041)% vs (0.756?0.037)% in terms of level of mRNA,(0.928?0.046) vs (0.303?0.032) in terms of protein expression).Conclusions:The survivin gene may be associated to the resistance to chemotherapy through the induction of gene expression.

Objective: To explore the clinical effcacy and short-term survival rate of partial cardiac auto-transplantation for treating the patients with giant left atrium.
Methods: A total of 7 patients with rheumatic heart disease received partial cardiac auto-transplantation in our hospital from 2012-08 to 2013-05 were retrospectively studied. The patients were at the age of (54.9±5.0) years including 3 male, all of them combined with giant left atrium and pre-operative atrial ifbrillation (AF), 6 of them received radio-frequency ablation. All patients were monitored for their baseline condition, operative status, peri-operative mortality and complication occurrence for clinical analysis.
Results: All 7 patients received mitral valve replacement, 5 had aortic valve replacement and 2 had aortic valve-plasty, the mean aortic cross clamp time was (271.7±29.0) min. The average left atrial diameter decreased from (91.7±3.5) mm to (64.8±8.1) mm, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improved from (38.3±6.5) % to (47.4±6.1) % at discharge, allP<0.05; 4 patients recovered to sinus rhythm and no peri-operative death occurred. The patients were followed-up for (20.7±3.9) months, 1 year post-operational survival rate was 100%, 1 patient died at 17 months after operation and the average left atrial diameter was (56.3±3.4) mm in rest 6 patients at the last examination during follow-up period.
Conclusion: Partial cardiac auto-transplantation may obviously reduce left atrial diameter with good clinical effect in certain patients with giant left atrium.
