Objective Comparing the enhancement of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) with the intensity of the blood signals of breast masses, and producing the parameter of peak intensity (PI), to determine whether they can reflect the differentiation of the benign breast masses from the malignant ones.Methods Fifty patients with the breast masses (25 benign,25 malignant) were implemented the contrastenhanced ultrasound inspection.The blood signals of the masses could be got before performing the CEUS,then the CEUS was performed.The enhancement of the masses was divided into 4 grades according to the enhancement of breast which was around the mass (no enhancement, low enhancement, equal enhancement,and high enhancement as well).The PIs of all masses and high enhanced massed were calculated by software in machine,then them were compared according to "the groups which had been classified by their maximal diameters.Results Forty-one of 50 cases showed an obvious enhancement using CEUS compared with the routine CDFI.Malignant masses were more obviously than that of benign ones ( P<0.05).In the 50 cases,the no enhanceed ones( n = 2) and equal enhanced ones( n = 5) were benign,and 1 case of the low enhanced masses( n = 9) was malignant.The high enhanced masses ( n = 34) were malignant or benigh.About the high enhanced masses, there were statistics meanings using the parameter of PI for the masses whose maximal diameters<2 cm( P<0.05),and no statistics meanings when their maximal diameters≥2 cm(P>0.05).Conclusions The CEUS of breast can improve the appreance of the tumor' s blood vessel obviously, especially for malignant masses.The PI of the breast benign masses are different from the malignant ones.Combination of them can help to discriminate benign masses from malignant ones.The parameter of PI is useless for differentially diagnosing the breast masses if their maximal diameters≥2 cm and the blood flow grade Ⅲ before CEUS.

Objective To investigate the effect of passive exercise on neural functional recovery after peripheral nerve crushed injury.MethodsThe effect of passive exercise on early peripheral nerve regeneration and recovery of motor function were observed with electrophysiological and histological indexes compared with that of the splinting group.ResultsThe nerve conduction of training group was faster than that in the splinting group,and the latency of compound muscle action potentials(CMAP)was shorter(P<0.05).The thickness of myelin sheath,average numbers of myelinated nerve fibera per area and diameter of regenerating axon in training group were larger than those in the splinting group(P<0.05).The wet weight of sural triceps of training group were bigger than that of the splinting group(P<0.01).ConclusionThe passive exercise can improve the early recovery of motor function and neural regeneration after peripheral nerve crushed injury.

Objective:To compare the efficacies of MRI, X-ray mammography (XMG) and Ultrasound (US) in detecting and diagnosing breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).Methods:Two hundred and forty one consecutive patients with pathology-confirmed DCIS were retrospectively recruited from January 2011 to December 2017 in PLA General Hospital. The imaging examination modalities included MRI and/or XMG and/or US.The breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) categorizations by MRI, XMG and US were compared and their sensitivities of detecting DCIS were calculated. The causes of underestimation on MRI were interpreted with the information of XMG and US. Chi-square test was used to compare the differences.Results:The diagnostic sensitivity of XMG, US and MRI was 65.9% (29/44), 71.6% (101/141) and 91.2% (145/159), respectively, with statistical significant differences (χ2 =24.034, P<0.001). Breast density and lesion type would influence the sensitivity of XMG. And the sensitivity of US was decreased because of non-mass lesion. Of the 14 cases under-evaluated as BI-RADS category 1 to 3 on MRI, 5 were corrected by XMG and/or US to BI-RADS category 4. The cause of underestimation on MRI was the coexistence of DCIS with adenoma or other benign lesion. Conclusion:The retrospective comparison of MRI, XMG and US in this study showed that MRI had significant higher sensitivity in detecting breast DCIS, while the false negative rates of XMG and US were un-negligible.

[摘 要] 目的:探讨miR-202-5p对口腔鳞状细胞癌(oral squamous carcinoma,OSCC)细胞生长、集落形成、迁移和侵袭的影响及其可能的机制。方法:通过qPCR法检测OSCC细胞系(Tca8113和SCC-4)和口腔角质细胞HOK中miR-202-5p和T细胞核因子c3(nuclear factor of activated T-cells isoform c3,NFATc3)mRNA的表达水平;将miR-202-5p mimic或/和NFATc3过表达质粒转染入Tca8113和SCC-4细胞,用MTT和集落形成实验检测转染对细胞增殖的影响,划痕伤口愈合实验和Transwell实验检测转染对细胞迁移和侵袭的影响,用Western blotting实验检测转染对NFATc3蛋白表达的影响;通过双荧光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-202-5p对候选靶基因NFATc3的直接调控作用。结果:与正常口腔角质细胞HOK相比,miR-202-5p在OSCC细胞Tca8113和SCC-4中呈低表达(均P<0.01),NFATc3 mRNA和蛋白质表达显著升高(P<0.01)。在Tca8113细胞和SCC-4细胞中,过表达miR-202-5p可显著抑制细胞生长、集落形成、迁移、侵袭以及细胞中NFATc3表达(均P<0.01)。NFATc3被证实是miR-202-5p的靶基因,过表达NFATc3能逆转miR-202-5p对OSCC细胞生长、迁移和侵袭的抑制作用。结论:miR-202-5p通过下调NFATc3表达发挥其肿瘤抑制功能,导致OSCC细胞的生长、迁移和侵袭受到抑制。
