Objective To summarize and analyze characteristics and diagnostic value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of 46 cases of gynecomastia sonographic image.Methods 46 cases of male breast lumps were tested by high frequency ultrasound probe The mammary glands position,thickness,border,shape,internal echo,the internal flow signals,with or without axillary lymph nodes were observed.Results There were 32 cases of unilateral disease, including 18 cases of left side,14 cases of right side,14 cases of bilateral disease.Sonographic indicated 28 cases of mammary gland tissue echo to see beneath the nipple with low echo,the boundary more clearly,more uniform internal echo;and 12 cases showed glandular tissue thickening,echogenic and showed cord -like,similar to the female gland hyperplasia sonogram;and 6 cases showed patchy irregularly echogenic area.Color Doppler performance was that the 33 cases showed glandular tissue without significant blood flow signals,10 cases showing 1 -2 strip -shaped blood flow to see in the glandular tissue,3 cases showing more abundant flow signals.Conclusion Ultrasonography has no pain,with higher diagnostic yield reproducible operation,so gynecomastia is the preferred method.

Breast cancer (BC) ranks first in the incidence rate of female malignant tumor, the notable features of which include high invasive behavior, high malignant degree and poor prognosis. Resveratrol, a plant antioxidant, has been identified as a potential therapeutic agent for the occurrence and progress of BC. This article explores the mechanism of resveratrol intervention in BC by evaluating several in vitro and in vivo studies. It was found that resveratrol can weaken the proliferation and survival ability of BC cells, suppress their growth, metastasis, and invasion, and reverse their resistance to adriamycin by promoting cell apoptosis, regulating autophagy, inhibiting glycolysis and regulating the tumor microenvironment, expressions of matrix metalloproteinases, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and drug-resistant proteins, etc. The limited number of clinical trial studies on resveratrol, mainly focusing on prevention effect of it on breast cancer, may be one of the reasons that affect the comprehensive evaluation of the anti-cancer efficacy of resveratrol.
