Objective To explore the methods and significance of section of multiple fibroadeno mas of breast with better incision.Methods From may 2005 to December 2014,21 cases were per formed by removing multiple fibroadenomas of breast with a new incision.Preoperatively,the diag nostic work-up included clinical examination,breast ultrasonography and/or mammography.A new approach,for removing of multiple fibroadenomas of the breast with the incision in periareolar site,was used in our hospital.All palpable breast lumps were excised with this approach through which the fibroadenomas were removed as a whole unit.Then,the breast cavity were irrigated with normal saline solution,and strict haemostasis of the bed was done by electrocautery.If the resulted cavity was larger,interrupted sutures should be performed with the absorbable stitches;otherwise,it was unnecessary.The skin wound was sutured to the deepithelialized area with Vicryl 5-0 (Ethicon).Results There were 21 cases,who underwent surgery using the described technique through which 95 lumps (0.5 cm× 0.5 cm-6.0 cm× 5.0 cm) were removed and included in the study.All patients' resected tumor specimens were pathologically confirmed as fibroadenoma.No major complications were encountered in any of the patients.The incision was well concealed by the dome of the nipple and the areolar pigmented and corrugated skin.Both doctors and patients were satisfied with postoperative aesthetic effect of the incision scar.Conclusions The incision in periareolar site for excision of multiple fibroadenomatas results in minimal scarring and a better appearance than that can be achieved with traditional methods.This technique,which can improve the aesthetic outcome of breast surgery,should be performed when feasible.

Objective To explore the effect and molecular mechanism of miR-34c in cell proliferation and invasion of human prostate cancer PC3 cells.Methods miR-34c was synthesized and transfected into prostate cancer PC3 cells.The ability of cell pro liferation was examined with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT),and invasion with Transwell assay.The level of c-met mRNA was analyzed by real-time reversing transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Western blot was used to detect the expressions of cmet,cyclin D1,and EMT-associated markers.Results Over-expression of miR-34c reduced PC3 cell proliferation,and inhibited the abilities of invasion.Bioinformatics analysis showed that 3'-UTR of c-met had two miR-34c matched sites,and miR-34c inhibited the expressions of c-met mRNA and protein.Meantime,miR-34c obviously decreased the expressions of cyclin D1 and N-cadherin,but increased the expression of E-cadherin in PC3 cells.Conclusions miR-34c may suppress cell proliferation and invasion in prostate cancer PC3 cells,by which mechanism is related to reduction of the expressions of c-met,cyclin D1,N-cadherin,and upregulation of E-cadherin.

Objective To explore the complications of augmentation mammoplasty by polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) injection and their management.Methods Preoperatively,174 patients underwent breast ultrasound image,and some patients received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to ascertain the distribution of injected PAHG.We used the periareolar incision and dissection extended to the subcutaneous tissue,mammary gland,and subgland space.We were able to suck most of the gel by the negative pressure machine and remove the abnormal breast tissue.The secondary breast deformity was repaired with subpectoral placement of silicone mammary implants (48 cases immediately,39 cases secondarily after 3-6 months) according to the individual situation.Results Following-up for 3 to 6 months,most of their symptoms were relieved after removal of the polyacrylamide hydrogel.In the patients who were performed with the implants augmentation mammoplasty,77 cases gained satisfactory results on the shape and texture of the breast (44.3%),and 10 cases were not satisfied with texture of the breast (5.7%).79 cases appeared breast atrophy or flat chest (45.4%).The severe breast deformities occurred in 8 cases (4.6%).Conclusions PAHG should be removed with surgical operation as soon as possible.The open operative technique via periareolar incisions may be a better method for the patients.The breast reconstruction is performed with implants prosthesis for those who are suitable and willing after removal of PAHG.

A series of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyrate derivatives were designed and synthesized. All of the novel 12 compounds (7a-7k) were synthesized from gamma-aminobutyric acid (1) as starting material, and their structures were confirmed with IR, 1H NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary pharmacological test in vitro showed that most of these title compounds possessed antiepileptic activity. Compounds 7i-7k displayed strong antiepileptic activity and are worth for further development. Compounds 4, 7d-7h showed moderate antiepileptic activity. The structure-activity relationship of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyrate derivatives is also discussed preliminarily.

Objective To explore the advantages and disadvantages between the RapidArc plans and fixed-field IMRT plan (IMRT).Methods Ten cases of cervical cancer,aged 55 (36-70),who were to receive post-operative radiotherapy were selected randomly.Single arc (Arc 1),two arcs (Arc 2),and three arc (Arc 3) RapidArc plans and fixed-field IMRT plan were designed respectively in the Eclipse 8.6 planning system.The designing,treatment time,target area,and dose distribution of organs at risk by these 4 planning techniques were compared.Results The values of average planned treatment time by the Arc 1,Arc 2,and Arc 3 ten cases was 98,155,185,and 46 min,respectively.The values of average treatment time in the Varian IX accelerator were 2.15,3.32,4.48,and 6.95 min,respectively.The average mean doses were (48.99±1.08),(49.40±0.51) ,(49.51±0.62) ,and (48.65±0.92) Gy,respectively.The values of homogeneity index (HI) of target were 1.11±0.07,1.07±0.02,1.06±0.02,and 1.12±0.05,respectively.The values of eonformal index (CI) of target were 0.73±0.13,0.87±0.06,0.87±0.06,and 0.79±0.06,respectively.The doses at rectum,bladder,and small intestine calculated by IMRT plan were the lowest,and the doses at the femoral neck calculated by these 4 plans were similar.Conclusions The RapidArc plan is superior in dose distribution at target,HI,CI,and treatment time to IMRT,but IMRT plan is superior to RapidArc in planned dose calculation time and protection of organs at risk.However,in general,the RapidArc plan is better in clinical application than IMRT plan.

Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) instead of the traditional paper case report forms (pCRFs) are increasingly used by investigators and sponsors of clinical research. We include a total of 14 phase III studies (8 pCRF, 6 eCRF) to compare paper and electronic data documentation both quantitatively and qualitatively in clinical studies. The result suggests that adaptions of electronic data capture (EDC) in clinical trials have the advantages in optimization of data capture process, improvement of data quality and earlier clinical decision compared to paper-based methods. Furthermore, the successful implementation of EDC requires accouplements with corresponding data management processes and reallocation of resources.

A new benzene derivative microintegerrin C (1) and a new norsesquiterpenoid microintegerrin D (2), along with six known compounds (3-8), were isolated and identified from stems and leaves of Micromelum integerrimum by various chromatographies such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, RP-18 column chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were mainly identified based on the spectral data analysis such as 1D-, 2D-NMR and HR-EI-MS. All known compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
