Objective To compare the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) model with single-index DWI model parameters in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions,and to explore the correlation between the parameters and molecular subtypes and prognostic factors of breast cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed with inclusion of 64 cases of breast diseases from January 2016 to May 2017 in Shanghai First People's Hospital.The patients were pathologically confirmed and typed, 30 cases are malignant tumors and 34 cases are benign lesions. DKI and DWI were performed within 2 weeks before the pathological examination. Invasive ductal carcinoma of grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were revealed in 1, 7 and 13 cases respectively. Luminal A breast cancer was found in 10 cases, Luminal B breast cancer was diagnosed in 11 cases, HER-2 positive breast cancer was 4 cases and triple negative breast cancer was 5 cases. The expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), Progesterone receptor (PR), and HER-2 positive were found in 20, 14 and 15 cases respectively. Ki67 was highly expressed in 24 cases and low expression in 6 cases. All patients underwent both plain and enhanced mammography scanning. The kurtosis (MK), mean diffusivity (MD) and ADC value were measured. Prognosis analysis was performed according to the maximum diameter (>2 cm, ≤2 cm), vascular or neurological invasion (positive, negative), lymph node metastasis (positive, negative), ER (positive, negative), PR (positive, negative), HER-2 (positive, negative),Ki67 (positive, negative), pathological grade (grade Ⅰ+Ⅱ,Ⅲ). Two independent samples t test was used to compare DKI and DWI parameters between benign and malignant lesions. ROC analysis was performed for assessing the values of parameters in discriminating benign and malignant breast lesions. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used for the comparison of various prognostic factors or molecular subtypes.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation of different prognostic factors and DKI and DWI parameters. Results The MK value of malignant group was higher than that of benign group,and the MD value and ADC value were lower than that of benign group (P<0.05). The area under the ROC for MK, MD and ADC were 0.897, 0.827 and 0.776, respectively. The area under the ROC was improved to 0.935 when three parameters were combined. The MK of ER positive group was higher than that of negative group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of parameters among the other prognostic groups (all P>0.05). There was a low positive correlation between ER and MK (r= 0.417, P= 0.022). There was no correlation between the other prognostic factors and parameters (r=-0.086 to 0.313, all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the MD, MK and ADC values among the four different subtypes of breast cancer (all P>0.05). Conclusions MK, MD and ADC values can be used to discriminate benign and malignant breast tumors, among which MK value has the best diagnostic performance. There is a certain correlation between DKI model parameters and prognostic factors.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of MRI diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and quantitative dynamic contrast enhancement MRI (DCE-MRI) in benign and malignant breast lesions, and to explore the differential diagnosis ability for different pathological types and molecular subtype lesions. Methods Sixty four females were retrospectively enrolled in the study of MRI diffusion kurtosis imaging and quantitative dynamic contrast enhancement between November 20 and May 2017. All of them were confirmed to have benign or malignant lesions after surgical resection or puncture. All patients underwent axial T1WI, DKI and DCE-MRI examinations. The mean kurtosis (MK) and mean diffusivity (MD) values were calculated by the DKI model, and the hemodynamic parameters were obtained by quantitative dynamic contrast enhancement, including volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), extravascular extracellular space distribute volume per unit tissue volume (Ve) and blood volume fraction (Vp). Pathological analysis was performed to monitor the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) and nuclear proliferation index Ki67. The breast cancer was divided into Luminal A type, Luminal B type, HER-2 positive and triple-negative 4 subtypes. The differences of DKI parameters and DCE-MRI parameters between benign and malignant breast lesions were compared using two independent samples t test (normal distribution and homogeneity of variance) or Mann-Whitney U test (skewed distribution or variance). ROC analysis was used to evaluate the value of DKI and DCE-MRI parameters in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions with pathological results as the gold standard. The Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to compare the differences of DKI and DCE-MRI parameters among different prognostic factors and molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between DKI and DCE-MRI parameters and different prognostic factors. Results Sixty-four cases were single lesions, with breast cancer in 23 cases and 41 cases of benign lesions. In breast cancer, there were 9 cases of Luminal A type, 7 cases of Luminal B type, 3 cases of HER-2 positive type and 4 cases of triple negative type. The positive numbers of ER, PR and HER-2 were 14, 11 and 10 cases respectively. Nineteen cases showed high expression of Ki67, while 4 cases showed low expression. There were significant differences in MK, MD, Ktrans and Kep between benign and malignant lesions (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between Ve and Vp (P>0.05). The area under the ROC for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions were 0.897, 0.808, 0.844 and 0.842, respectively. The combined multi-parameter differential diagnosis improved the efficacy. Combined with the above four parameters, the area under the ROC was 0.950. The diagnosis Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 0.870, 0.951 and 0.922 respectively. The Ktrans and Vp values of patients with ER positive and ER negative, as well as Ve value of deferent lymph node status, were significantly different (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the other prognostic factors (P>0.05). There was a moderate positive correlation between ER and Ktrans and Vp values. There was a low positive correlation between lymph node status and Ve value (r= 0.6, 0.5 and 0.4, respectively, P<0.05). No correlation was found among other parameters and prognostic factors (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in DKI and DCE-MRI parameters among different subtypes of breast cancer patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion DKI combined with DCE-MRI can improve the differential diagnosis of breast lesions and some DCE-MRI parameters are related to prognostic factors.

Epithelial tissues covering the external and internal surface of a body are constantly under physical, chemical or biological assaults. To protect the epithelial tissues and maintain their homeostasis, multiple layers of immune defense mechanisms are required. Besides the epithelial tissue-resident immune cells that provide the first line of defense, circulating immune cells are also recruited into the local tissues in response to challenges. Chemokines and chemokine receptors regulate tissue-specific migration, maintenance and functions of immune cells. Among them, chemokine receptor CCR10 and its ligands chemokines CCL27 and CCL28 are uniquely involved in the epithelial immunity. CCL27 is expressed predominantly in the skin by keratinocytes while CCL28 is expressed by epithelial cells of various mucosal tissues. CCR10 is expressed by various subsets of innate-like T cells that are programmed to localize to the skin during their developmental processes in the thymus. Circulating T cells might be imprinted by skin-associated antigen- presenting cells to express CCR10 for their recruitment to the skin during the local immune response. On the other hand, IgA antibody-producing B cells generated in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues express CCR10 for their migration and maintenance at mucosal sites. Increasing evidence also found that CCR10/ligands are involved in regulation of other immune cells in epithelial immunity and are frequently exploited by epithelium-localizing or -originated cancer cells for their survival, proliferation and evasion from immune surveillance. Herein, we review current knowledge on roles of CCR10/ligands in regulation of epithelial immunity and diseases and speculate on related important questions worth further investigation.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tianmeng Oral Liquid in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia caused by antipsychotics in female patients with schizophrenia, and to provide references for intervention of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia patients. MethodsEnglish databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO and Embase) and Chinese databases (CNKI and Wanfang) were systematically searched, with a search time frame of the period from database creation to September 16, 2022. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) on adjunctive Tianmeng Oral Liquid in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia caused by antipsychotics in female patients with schizophrenia were included. Three investigators independently screened the literatures and extracted data according to PICOS principles and evaluated the quality of including literatures, and the Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3. ResultsA total of 3 articles including 256 female schizophrenic patients with hyperprolactinemia were included. Meta-analysis results showed that at the treatment endpoint, the improvement of hyperprolactinemia symptoms reported a significant superiority of the intervention group than the control group (RR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.07~2.79, P˂0.05). Similarly, the significant superiority of the intervention group than the control group were also found in reducing serum prolactin levels (WMD=-55.17, 95% CI: -68.16~-42.18, P<0.01) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scores were lower in the intervention group than in the control group (WMD=-7.36, 95% CI: -8.94~-5.77, P<0.01). ConclusionTianmeng Oral Liquid may help improve clinical efficacy and reduce serum prolactin levels in female schizophrenia patients with hyperprolactinemia. It may improve psychiatric symptoms in female patients with schizophrenia.

OBJECTIVES:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an extracorporeal life support strategy for the treatment of critically ill children with reversible heart and lung failure, increasingly being used in patients with low cardiac output after cardiac surgery. However, the mortality of patients is closely related to the complications of ECMO, especially bleeding, thrombosis, and infection, ECMO-related nosocomial infection has become a challenge to the success of ECMO. This study aims to analyze the incidence and risk factors for venoarterial-ECMO (VA-ECMO)-related nosocomial infections in children after cardiac surgery.
METHODS:
We retrospectively collected the data of patients who underwent VA-ECMO treatment after pediatric cardiac surgery in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from July 2015 to March 2021, and divided them into an infected group and a non-infected group. The clinical characteristics of the 2 groups of patients, VA-ECMO-related nosocomial infection factors, pathogenic microorganisms, and patient mortality were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for nosocomial infection related to VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery.
RESULTS:
Of the 38 pediatric patients, 18 patients (47.37%) had VA-ECMO related nosocomial infection, served as the infected group, including 7 patients with blood infections and 11 respiratory tract infections. Gram-negative pathogens (16 strains, 88.9%) were the main bacteria, such as Acinetobacter baumannii (6 strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae (3 strains), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (3 strains). Compared with the non-infected group (n=20), the infection group had longer time of cardiopulmonary bypass, time of myocardial block, and time of VA-ECMO assistance (All P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that time of cardiopulmonary bypass (OR=1.012, 95% CI 1.002 to 1.022; P=0.021) was an independent risk factor for ECMO-related nosocomial infection. The number of surviving discharges in the infected group was less than that in the non-infected group (1 vs 11, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Cardiopulmonary bypass time is an independent risk factor for VA-ECMO-related nosocomial infection in children after cardiac surgery. Shortening the duration of extracorporeal circulation may reduce the incidence of VA-EMCO-related nosocomial infections in children after cardic surgery. The occurrence of VA-ECMO-related nosocomial infections affects the number of patient's discharge alive.
