Objective To clarify the position,figure and connections with adjacencies in the pallial thickening(Pth),and provide essential parameters for its function study. Methods The coronal serial sections of 60?m thickness in gekko gecko brain were made by cryo-microtome,and Nissl staining was used.Pictures were taken in each coronal section containing the Pth and the size of Pth in each section was measured.One of them was chosen for the three-dimensional reconstruction.3D MAX was used as the tool software to rebuild the nucleus. Results 1.The Pth was located in the rostral part of the telencephalon,the lateral part of anterior dorsal ventricular ridge,the medial part of the lateral cortex and the ventral part of the dorsal cortex.The length of Pth from the rostral to the caudal end was(912.67?110.96)?m(n=10),the cubage of Pth was about(0.1430?0.0414)?m~3(n=10).2.The Pth could be divided into four segments,the anterior,the middle,the posterior and the terminal segments from the rostral to the caudal end.In the posterior segment,its dorsoventral axis was the longest,and could be divided into two parts: the dorsal and the ventral parts.The boundary of the two parts was clear.Conclusion The Pth is a long,narrow and flat structure;its rostrocaudal axis is longer than its dorsoventral axis,and its dorsal edge is smoother than its ventral edge.In the Pth,its caudal region is larger than its rostral region,and the posterior segment in the caudal region is divided into the dorsal and the ventral cell populations.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of MSCT in the differentiation of thymic epithelial tumours (TET)with the maximum diameter equal or less than 3 cm.Methods A retrospective analysis of pathological and imaging data of 56 patients with pathologically confirmed TET with the maximum diameter equal or less than 3 cm was performed.According to the 2004 WHO classification,56 TETs were classified as low-risk thymomas(types A/AB/B1),high-risk thymomas (types B2/B3)and thymic carcinomas (type C).The CT manifestations of TET in each group,including shape of tumor,tumor edge (smooth or spiculate protuberance), presence of small nodule around tumor,enhancement degree,pleura invasion and fat space around tumor,were analyzed retrospectively.The differences in the CT manifestations among three types were compared using chi-square test.If the sample number was too small, Fisher 's exact test was used.Results Compared with high-risk thymomas (23 cases)and thymic carcinomas (6 cases),regular round shape was more often observed in low-risk thymomas (27 cases)(χ2 =73,P <0.001;χ2 =116,P <0.001)and the mediastinum-lung interface was more likely to bulge (χ2 = 3.41,P =0.046;χ2 =7.39,P =0.01).Blurred edge,spiculate protuberance and pleural invasion and so on were significantly more common in high-risk thymomas and thymic carcinomas (P <0.001)and they were the most common in thymic carcinomas (χ2 =11.5,P =0.009).There was a significant difference between type B2 thymomas and thymic carcinomas (χ2 =31.52, P <0.001),however there was no significant difference between type B3 thymomas and thymic carcinomas (χ2 =6.96,P =0.07). Conclusion MSCT can accurately show the shape of tumor,tumor edge,presence of small nodule around tumor,enhancement degree,pleura invasion,which can predict the histologic type of thymomas and also can provide information for preoperative diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.

Objective To observe and analyze the influence of mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection on the inflammatory stress and immune stress of patients with breast cancer.Methods Sixty patients with breast cancer were selected and randomly divided into control group(open surgery group)and observation group(mastoscopy-assisted treatment group),30 cases in each group.The inflammatory stress and immune stress indexes of two groups before the surgery and 12,48 and 72 hours after the surgery were detected and compared.Results The inflammatory stress and immune stress indexes 12,48 and 72 hours after the surgery in observation group were significantly better than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The influence of mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection on the inflammatory stress and immune stress of patients with breast cancer is better than open surgery.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of parameters in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) using reference region model with prognostic factors and molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
METHODSMRI and pathological data of 50 patients with pathologically confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast were retrospectively analyzed. Reference region model was applied to analyze pharmacokinetic quantitative parameters including volume transfer constant (RR K), rate constant (K) and the ratio of Kto extracellular space volume (K/V). The associations of the above parameters with prognostic factors and molecular subtypes of breast cancer were analyzed.
RESULTSRR Kand Kwere significantly higher in patients of histological grade 3 compared with those of histological grade 1 & 2 (all<0.05); and the patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-negative and/or progesterone receptor (PR)-negative also had higher RR Kand Kthan those with ER-positive or PR-positive (all<0.05). For immunohistochemistry, RR Kand Kwere significantly higher in triple negative breast cancer compared with luminal type breast cancer (all<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSHigh RR Kand Kare associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer, and which can also be used to distinguish molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
