Journal of Medical Research 2017;46(3):141-145
Objective To determine the correlations between breast ultrasonic and mammographic features and molecular classification of breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma in young women.Methods A retrospective review of radiological,clinic-pathology features of breast cancers for women under 40 years at our hospital between January 2011 and May 2016 covering 94 patients.Mammography and ultrasound were available for all 94 patients.Results On sonography,basal like type tumours more often appeared as oval or round masses and microlobulated or indistinct margins luminal type irregular mass and angular or spiculated margins(P =0.000,P =0.000).Basal like type masses were often with abrupt interface,luminal A type with echogenic halo (P =0.000).On mamography,HER-2 enriched type cancers more presented as microcal cification only,basal likc type more masses(P =0.002).Luminal typc masses were more often with spiculated or obscured margins,basal like with indistinct margins(P =0.000).Conclusion The imaging charasteristics of breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma in patients under 40 years appear correlated to breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma.

Objective:To assess effect of fluvastatin on vascular endothelium-dependent diastolic function of hypercholesterolemia patients. Methods:Thirty five patients with hypercholesterolemia were treated with fluvastatin (40 mg/d,po) for 8 weeks. 25 healthy adults were as control group.The baseline of brachial angiobore and the changes of it at response to nitroglycerin and reactive hyperemia were measured by Dopple ultrasound before and after treatment in hypercholesterolemia patients. Blood lipids,blood concentrations of NO and NOS were also measured before and after treatment. Results:①In patients with primary hypercholesterolemia the vascular endothelium-dependent dilation function (EDD)was much reduced as compared with the control, so as for blood concentrations of NO and NOS. ② Serum total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly lowered by 8-week treatment of fluvastatin(p

This study examined in vitro effect of lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) on interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production of monocytes and its possible mechanism in severe preeclampsia (PE). Peripheral venous blood was drawn from 15 patients with severe preeclampsia (PE group) and 20 normal pregnant women (control group) to prepare monocytes which were then treated with LXA(4) at different concentrations of 0, 10, 100 nmol/L respectively. IL-1β level in the supernatant of monocytes was detected by enzyme linked immunoassay. The [Ca(2+)](i) of monocytes was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy. The results showed that the IL-1β level and the [Ca(2+)](i) of monocytes in the PE group were significantly higher than those in the control group. LXA(4) significantly decreased the generation of IL-1β in a dose-dependent manner in the PE group. After treatment with 100-nmol/L LXA(4), in the PE group, the [Ca(2+)](i) concentration of monocytes was significantly reduced. It was concluded that LXA(4) may inhibit the IL-1β production of monocytes from severe preeclampsia women by inhibiting extracellular calcium influx.

Objective To investigate the expressions and clinical significances of MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA in peripheral blood of esophageal cancer patients.Methods MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA were detected in 53 patients with esophageal cancer,10 patients with esophageal benign tumor and 20 healthy volunteers by RT-PCR technique.Results The expressions of MUC1-mRNA,CK20-mRNA and combining group were 35.85 % (19/53),49.06 % (26/53) and 62.26 % (36/53) in peripheral blood of 53 esophageal cancer patients.In control group,there was no expression of MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA in peripheral blood of 10 patients with benign esophageal disease and 20 healthy volunteers.The positive rate increased by combining test(x2 =11.0228,P <0.05).Conclusion MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA might be specific and sensitive markers to detect circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood and their expressions are closely related to TNM stages of the esophageal cancer patients.The combining test might be of high value of the diagnosis of micrometastasis.

Objective To establish reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) with primers specific for CEA gene and CK20 gene to detect circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood of esophageal cancer pa-tients,and try to find the relationship between the mRNA expression and micrometastasis. Methods The expressions of CEA,CK20 were analyzed by RT-PCR in 53 cases of esophageal tumor tissue and in peripheral blood,compared with 10 patients with benign esophageal disease and 20 healthy volunteers. Results The expressions of CEA-mRNA, CK20-mRNA were 96.23% (51/53), 100% ( 53/53 ) in 53 esophageal tumor tissue and were 52.83% (28/53), 49.06% (26/53) in peripheral blood of 53 esophageal cancer patients. In control group,there was only one expression of CEA-mRNA in peripheral blood of 10 patients with benign esophageal disease,as well as in 20 healthy volunteers. There was no expression of CK20-mRNA in peripheral blood of 10 patients with benign esophageal disease and 20 healthy volunteers. Conclusion CEA-mRNA, CK20-mRNA might be specific and sensitive markers to detect circu-lating tumor cells in peripheral blood and their expression was closely related to TNM stages of the esophageal cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the quality of life of children with leukemia and the related factors.Methods The descriptive and interrelated design was used in this study.80 children with leukemia were interviewed using"the QOL instrument for children".Results The level of QOL was "generally satisfied"among children with leukemia.Mostly,the level of QOL among depression,anxiety and physical perception was less satisfied.QOL was significant related with gender,relationship in the family,performance in the schooll,relationship with peer,and personality,and was not related with place of living,whether the child was the single child in the family,disease classification and stage of ehemothrapy.Conclusions The evaluation of QOL of children with leukemia is very important.Interven-tions should be performed to improve QOL of children with leukemia,especially boy,and ehidren who are introversive.or have worse relationship with family and peers,or worse performance in the school.

Objective This paper reports a modified method for the isolation of rat thoracic aortic vascular smooth muscle cells based on combined enzyme double digestion.Methods An enzyme mixture containing collagenase II, soybean trypsin inhibitor and elastase was prepared and used to remove the aortic tunica intima and tunica adventitia, and then the tunica media was subjected to second digestion using the same enzyme mixture and to isolate vascular smooth muscle cells.Results The isolated VSMCs were cultured in vitro and the growing cells had an elongated spindle-shape, reached confluence within a week, and displaying a typical hill-and-valley pattern.After 1 week, the cells were passaged.Contractile smooth muscle markers(α-SMA, myosin-II and β-tubulin) were highly expressed in the isolated cells.More than 90% of the cells significantly expressed alpha smooth muscle actin and myosin-II.Conclusions Themethod established in this study has advantages of simple and easy to operate, and good reproducibility, with a high activity and purity of the separated cells.It can ensure to obtain a large amount of contraction-type vascular smooth muscle cells within a short time.

Objective To explore the application of mini-laparoscopy in the diagnosis and management of nonpalpable undescended testis in children.Methods 38 cases of impalpabal testes(46 testicular) had been operated by mini-laparoscopy in children with cryptorchidism.Results 38 children with nonpalpable undescended testis (46 testicular) had been operated by mini-laparoscope.Results After laparoscopic exploration,inguinal probe and postoperative pathology,it had been confirmed that 2 testicular were absent,34 testicular were found in high inguinal location,10 testicular were located in intraperitoneal cavity.In addition to the absent testicular,the rest had been performed with mini-laparoscope:one period descent fixation 41 testes,Fowler-Stephens (F-S) installment orchiopexy three testes.Follow-up with side testicular atrophy 2,including one period orchiopexy a testis,F-S installment fixation a testicular; Testicular rebound 1,who had been operated with one phase of testicular descent fixtion.Conclusion For inguinal failed to find the testicular,children with cryptorchidism should be done by laparoscopy because of its positioning accuracy,and most children can do a period drop fixed,but for those really intraperitoneal more exalted person,stage surgery should be needed.Its overall treatment effect is satisfactory and is worth popularizing.
