Objective To investigate and compare the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) and core needle biopsy(CNB) in the treatment of patients with invasive breast cancer.Methods Given 100 cases of patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer biopsy in our hospital from November 2015 to November 2016,50 cases of patients with FNAB into the observation group,50 cases of patients with CNB into the control group.Taken the pathologic results as a diagnostic gold standard and compared the diagnostic value of two diagnostic methods in invasive breast cancer.Detected the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(Her-2),estrogen receptor(ER) and progesterone receptor(PR) preoperatively and compared the adverse reactions of puncture of patients in two groups.Results 30 cases of patients in the observation group showed axillary lymph node metastasis and 20 cases of patients had no axillary lymph node metastasis,21 cases of patients were positive cases of axillary lymph node metastasis accepted FNAB examination,the sensibility was 70.00％.29 cases of patients in the control group showed axillary lymph node metastasis while 21 cases of patients didn′t have axillary lymph node metastasis,23 cases of patients were positive cases of axillary lymph node metastasis accepted FNAB examination,the sensibility was 74.19％.Compared the ER、PR、Her-2 antibody with the testing result of primary tumor after operation.The diagnostic accordance rates in the observation group were 93.55％,91.67％,92.86％ respectively.The diagnostic accordance rates in the control group were 94.12％,92.31％,86.67％,the differences in two groups were not statistical significance(P>0.05).The adverse reaction rate was 4.00％ in the observation group and 0.00％ in the control group after puncture.Conclusion The diagnostic sensibility of FNAB is poorer than CNB in the diagnostic procedure of invasive breast cancer.ER,PR,Her-2 in two diagnostic methods keep a high consistency with the testing result of primary tumor after operation.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of locking plate fixation with fibular strut allograft to manage unstable osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 15 patients who underwent open reduction and locking plate fixation with fibular strut allograft for osteoporotic proximal humerus fracture between July 2011 and June 2015. For functional evaluation, we evaluated visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, and active range of motion. For radiological evaluation, shoulder true anteroposterior (AP) and AP in 20° external rotation, as well as the axillary view were taken at two weeks, six weeks, three months, six months, and one year. And the neck-shaft angle was measured on the AP view in 20° external rotation view. RESULTS: At the one-year follow-up, mean VAS pain score and all shoulder scores, including ASES score and UCLA shoulder score, exhibited satisfactory clinical outcomes. All patients obtained bone union between three and six months post-procedure. Moreover, the mean immediate postoperative neck-shaft angle was 138°± 4°, and at one-year follow-up, the neck shaft angle was 137°± 5°. There was no significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative values (p=0.105). CONCLUSIONS: For the unstable two-part and three-part osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures with medial calcar comminution, the use of fibular strut allograft with locking plate fixation was effective in maintaining the initial status of reduction and exhibiting the satisfactory functional and radiological outcomes.

We have experienced two cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with hypere-mesis gravidarum. Delay in it's diagnosis caused a protracted illness and persisting neurol-ogic deficits. Because of its association with chronic alcoholism, possibility of Wernicke's encephalopathy may not be considered in early stage of disease. The clinical feature, the principle of management and the prevention of Wernicke's encephalopathy are discussed.

BACKGROUND: The increase of the incidence of autoimmune diseases and the autoimmune pathogenesis of vitiligo were reported. OBJECTIVE: We studied the frequency of autoimmune disorders and positivity of antinuclear antibody in Korean vitiligo patients. METHODS: Vitiligo patients (439 patients) and control subjects (197 patients) were interviewed about their history of autoimmune diseases. Laboratory studies including complete blood cell count, urine analysis, blood chemistry, fasting blood sugar, thyroid function test (T3, free T4, TSH), and antinuclear antibody were performed for the screening of autoimmune disorders. RESULTS: The diseases associated with vitiligo were microcytic hypochromic anemia (3.64%), non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (2.96%), thyroid disease (3.96%), atrophic gastritis, and alopecia areata. In the control subjects, the associated diseases were microcytic hypochromic anemia (1.62%), non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (4.65%), and thyroid disease (3.49%). These results show that the frequency of autoimmune disorders in vitiligo patients is not significantly higher than that in control subjects. Six (54.5%) out of 11 vitiligo patients with thyroid disease were diagnosed as having thyroid disease for the first time. Four (0.91%) out of 438 vitiligo patients showed positive to antinuclear antibody. Positivity of antinuclear antibody was not higher in vitiligo patients than that in control subjects (1.16%). CONCLUSION: Frequency of autoimmune diseases and positive reaction to antinuclear antibody in vitiligo patients were not significantly higher than those in control subjects.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to compare clinical and radiological outcomes between trans-acromial fixation with Kirschner's wire (K-wire) and AO locking hook plate fixation for acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation. METHODS: This study included 61 patients who underwent either closed reduction and trans-acromial fixation with K-wire (group A, 23 patients) or open reduction and internal fixation with AO locking hook plate (group B, 38 patients). Pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and active range of motion (ROM) were used in the functional evaluation. For radiological evaluation, coracoclavicular distance (CCD) was measured on both clavicular anteroposterior view and compared between groups. RESULTS: At one-year follow-up, no significant differences in VAS pain score, UCLA shoulder score, ASES score, and active ROM were observed between groups, despite five cases (22.7%, 5/23) of complication in group A. The side-to-side difference between normal and affected CCD was 2.4 ± 2.2 mm in group A and 0.2 ± 0.7 mm in group B. This difference showed a statistical significance between groups (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: For the treatment of acute AC joint dislocation, the K-wire trans-acromial fixation group showed a significantly greater CCD than the AO locking hook plate group. In addition, during the follow-up period, much higher incidence of complication related to implant was observed in the trans-acromial fixation group. Although clinical outcomes between groups were not significantly different, these results should be interpreted carefully.
