Objective · To investigate the expression of androgen receptor (AR) in human breast cancer and its prognostic significance. Methods · A total of 183 female patients with breast cancer were selected. The expression of AR in breast cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The relationship of AR expression with the clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. Survival analysis of AR gene expression by an online database (Kmplot) was also performed. Results · The positive rate of AR expression was 47.5% and was significantly higher in grade 1 and grade 2 group than that in grade 3 group (57.6% vs 25.0%, P<0.05). Breast cancer patients with estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and P53 positive expression had significantly increased AR levels (P<0.05). AR expression were significantly higher in patients with luminal type as compared withthose in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) positive and patients with triple negative breast cancer (51.7% vs 31.6%,P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves identified that AR gene expression was positively correlated with relapse-free survival, overall survival and distant metastasis-free survivalof breast cancer patients (P<0.05). Conclusion · The breast cancer patients with AR positive expression have a better prognosis, which suggests that inhibitors of AR pathway may be a treatment option for breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of endoscopic plastic stent and metal stent placement in relieving obstructive jaundice in patients with pancreatic cancer,and to analyse the cost effectiveness.Methods A retrospective review was performed on the clinical data of 102 pancreatic cancer patients with obstructive jaundice in General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between January 2013 to January 2014.The patients were divided into plastic stent group (n =26) and metal stent group (n =76)based on the type of biliary stent placed under endoscopy.The complication and short-term therapeutic effect were compared between two groups.The number of endoscopic stent placement,treatment interval,hospitalization cost and median survival time were recorded.Results The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBiL) in the two groups 5-7 days after endotherapy were significantly lower than those before treatment,but the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (P ＜0.05).No severe complication was observed.The average number of treatments in the metal stent group was significantly lower than that in the plastic stent group (1.7 times vs 2.9 times),and the treatment interval was significantly longer[(271.7 ± 42.3) d vs (113.4 ± 38.2) d].The difference above between these two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference on the average total hospitalization cost (84227.2 yuan vs 86906.8 yuan) or median survival time (15.6 months vs 13.1 months)between these two groups.Conclusions Primary placement of metal biliary stents for obstructive jaundice in adult patients with metastatic pancreatic carcinoma was cost-effective than plastic stents,and their effects were comparable.

BACKGROUND:To reduce the amount of bleeding and the amount of hemoglobin after total knee replacement has been a key project in the clinical research in the division of bone and joint. Currently, ice therapy has been widely used in the clinic for tissue sweling and pain due to various physical and chemical factors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the risk factors of postoperative hemoglobin after total knee replacement and discuss the effects of ice intervention. METHODS: 240 patients with osteoarthritis based on the random draw principles were equaly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The general information, disease status, diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of the two groups were investigated. Al patients were actively subjected to artificial total knee replacement. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, the treatment group received ice intervention at 2 hours after replacement for 7 consecutive days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The postoperative hemoglobin decrease occurred in 34 patients, with the incidence of 14.2% among 240 patients at 7 days after replacement. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that age, no ice treatment, body mass index were the main risk factors for hemoglobin decrease after total knee replacement (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the postoperative hemoglobin values of the treatment group were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Hemoglobin decrease values, total blood loss, blood transfusion rate, blood transfusion amount, and pain score at 3 and 7 days after replacement were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The knee function excelent and good rate was 96.7% in the treatment group, and 95.8% in the control group, which showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). Results verify that clinical application of total knee replacement facilitated the knee recovery in patients with osteoarthritis, but hemoglobin decrease and bleeding existed. Active ice intervention can reduce the risk and relieve postoperative pain.

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the underlying causes of catheter rupture in implantable venous assess ports among 4 paediatric patients and to summarise nursing experiences.Methods A total of 319 implantations of venous assess port were admitted in the Department of Paediatric Surgery of our hospital from March 2011 to January 2023,with an incidence rate of catheter fracture at 1.3%(4 cases).The ruptured catheters in all 4 paediatric patients were successfully retrieved via surgery.The reasons for catheter rupture as well as the methods for identification were analysed and summarised.Results In Case 1,a catheter rupture was located at 6 cm from the port and the ruptured catheter was not displaced.In Case 2,a linear crack was observed at 7 cm from the base of port without visible sign of catheter rupture,however,a leakage was observed from the crack when fluid was injected.In Case 3,the location of catheter rupture was identified at 11 cm from the port and again there was no evidence of displacement.However for Case 4,a catheter rupture occurred at just 1 cm away from the base of port,with a displacement along right atrium-right pulmonary artery-right inferior pulmonary artery.The causes of catheter rupture were attributed to frequent and prolonged neck and upper extremity activities in Cases 1,3 and 4,as well as an inappropriate handling of catheter in Case 2.After removal of the catheter,Cases 1,2 and 4 were kept in hospital for treatment of original illnesses,while Case 3 was discharged the day after the removal of catheter.Conclusion Catheter rupture is an extremely serious complication.It is imperative for healthcare personnel to adhere to standardised procedures and maintenance protocols,together with comprehensive health education to both parents and children.Early detection of an abnormality followed by prompt handling is crucial in ensuring the safety usage of an implantable venous assess port in paediatric patients.

Objective To investigate the status quo of nutritional risks and malnutrition of orthopedic inpatients and to provide an objective basis for standardizing nutritional support for orthopedic inpatients. Methods Patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Orthopedics, Ningbo First Hospital between November 2013 and December 2015 were continuously selected as respondents by convenience sampling. Their general data were recorded in an electronic data collection system (EDC). Then the patients were assessed for nutritional risks with nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002), and their status quo of malnutrition was identified according to recommendatory standards of guidelines.Results Totally 451 out of the 3083 patients suffered from nutritional risks, and the incidence of nutritional risks was 14.63%. 59 of them were diagnosed with malnutrition. Patients with hip fracture showed the highest incidence of malnutrition, followed by those with pelvic fracture and thoracolumbar fracture, and their incidences of nutritional risks were 56.55%, 51.61% and 27.93%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between patients of different ages (P<0.05). The incidences of hip fracture and thoracolumbar fracture patients aged above 70 were 79.10% (140/177) and 74.19% (92/124), respectively, higher than those of patients under 70 years old (P<0.05). Conclusions Orthopedic inpatients and elderly patients, especially those with hip fracture, pelvic fracture and thoracolumbar fracture, show high incidence of nutritional risks. Therefore, the nutritional support for orthopedic inpatients should be further standardized.
