Objective To study the influence of excisional biopsy on detection rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy through methylene blue in breast cancer.Methods A review of 76 patients with clinical stage T1-2N0M0 breast cancer who had a successful sentinel lymph node biopsy at the Affiliated Nanhai Hospital of Southern Medical University between July 2009 to July 2014 was analyzed.There were 37 patients received sentinel lymph node biopsy directly.And 39 patients received sentinel lymph node biopsy after a excisional biopsy to primary lesion.We compare the difference of detection rate of sentinel lymph node between the two groups.Results Seventy cases had been found sentinel lymph node successfully in a total of 76 patients and the detection rate is 92.1％.There were 34 cases had sentinel lymph node biopsy in successfully in group of excisional biopsy and the detection rate is 87.2％.There were 36 cases had sentinel lymph node biopsy in successfully in group of needle core biopsy and the detection rate is 97.3％.This difference,however,was not statistically significant between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The influence of excisional biopsy on detection rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy through methylene blue in breast cancer is not significant.

Objective: To study the efficacy of relieving the postoperation pain by using mesh to stuture and fixate tissue during transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) in inguinal hernia patients. Metholds: A retrospective analysis of 156 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP in Nanhai Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from January 2016 to January 2017 was conducted, they were males, the average age was 50.84 years and the age range was from 33 to 62 years. Patients were divided into sacral nail group (n=120) and absorbable line group (n=36) according to the different methods of fixation of the iliac crest. Among them, the patients in the sacral nail group were fixed with iliac screws, and the patients in the absorbable line group were sutured with absorbable sutures. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to compare the extent of postoperative pain in both groups. After the operation, through the outpatient review and telephone follow-up for 1 year, observed the recurrence of inguinal hernia in both groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean±SD), t-test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between the two groups. Results: Among them, 19 patients with moderate pain after operation in the nail group had an incidence of 15.8%. Two patients with moderate pain in the absorbable line group had an incidence of 5.6%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=2.511, P=0.013). The pain VAS of the patients in the sacral nail group was (3.08±1.36), and the absorbable line group was (2.50±0.91), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.973, P=0.001). All patients had no recurrence after outpatient review and telephone follow-up for 1 year. Conclusion In TAPP, the application of absorbable suture fixed patch can effectively reduce postoperative pain.

Objective:To measure the partial parameters of the soft tissues of upper eyelid in young women with single eyelid in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and to explore the asymmetry rate of the left and right palpebral fissure and its regularity.Methods:From March 2018 to July 2019, the Medical Cosmetology Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College measured 108 young women with single eyelid, aged 18-35 years, with an average age of 24.6 years. Before operation, palpebral fissure width (PFW), palpebral fissure height (PFH), palpebral fissure inclination (PFI) and central eyebrow height (CEH) were measured. The resected intra-orbital septum fat pad during the procedure was weighed. Both direct measurement and the photo measurement were used to obtain the average value of the two sets of data for final analysis. We calculated out the incidence rate of asymmetry of each palpebral item.Results:The paired t-test showed that the mean value of PFW was (25.76±1.50) mm on the left and (26.04±1.55) mm on the right ( t=2.93); the mean value of PFH was (9.70±1.15) mm on the left and (9.49±1.05) mm on the right ( t=3.12); the mean value of PFI was (9.77±2.57)° on the left and (9.67±2.28)° on the right ( t=2.01); the mean value of CEH was (12.05±1.61) mm on the left and (12.32±1.69) mm on the right ( t=-2.66); the mean value of the weight of the intra-orbital septum fat pad was (0.20±0.11) g on the left and (0.22±0.12) g on the right ( t=2.29). There were significant differences between the two sets of data (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The asymmetric phenomenon of the upper eyelid is commonly found in Shantou young female undergraduates, in which the PFH in the left is higher than that in the left; the PFW, the CEH, the weight of the intra-orbital septum fat pad in the right more commonly found than that in the left.. This study provides a certain reference for the clinical evaluation of the operation.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the ultra microstructures and the expression of platelet peroxidase (PPO) of megakaryocytes from bone marrow, their clinical manifestations and laboratory characteristics in patients with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL).

METHODSKaryocytes from bone marrow of 22 AMKL patients were divided into two parts by lymphocyte separation liquid, one part was used to prepare the ordinary transmission electron microscope specimens to observe the morphological structures of megakaryocytes, the other was used to prepare the histochemical specimens of platelet peroxidase to analyze the positive reaction of PPO in AMKL, which were coupled with the patients' data of with bone marrow morphology, cell chemistry, and chromosome karyotype examination.

RESULTSMegakaryocytes from 17 of 22 patients were in the first stage, less than 20 µm in diameter, the nucleis were round, the cytoplasm contained microtubules, membranous vesicles and minute dense granules, no demarcation membrane system and surface-connected canalicular system, less dense granules and α-granules; Megakaryocytes in 5 cases were mainly in the first stage, while containing second and third stage megakaryocytes; the positive rate of PPO in megakaryocytes of 22 patients was 0-80%. The primitive and naive megakaryocytes were found in bone marrow smears of 22 cases, CD41 staining of the megakaryocytes was detected in the primitive and naive megakaryocytes, and more complex chromosome karyotype anomalies were observed.

CONCLUSIONThe majority of megakaryocytes in AMKL patients were the first stage ones, the rest were second and third stage ones, and the positive PPO reaction was significantly different. CD41 staining of the megakaryocytes was specific with complex chromosome karyotypeswere.
