1.Hot spots of sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2009;21(3):145-147
Sentinel lymph node biopsy represents the state of the art of breast surgery, but its widely application might surpass the support of available evidences. The hot spots of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer include the prognosis of micrometastases in sentinel nodes, the prediction of non-sentinel nodes metastases in positive sentinel nodes patients, and the intraoperative molecular diagnosis of sentinel nodes.These are discussed accompanying with the updated results from the 31st SABCS held in December, 2008.

3.The progress of internal mammary lymphatic drainage and internal mammary lymph node biopsy in breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2016;10(2):174-177
There are two main lymphatic drainage routes of the breast: a superficial system and a deep system, and only the deep one can drain into the internal mammary lymph node (IMLN) which receive about 25%of the lymph of the breast. As one of the important nodal sites of lymphatic spread of breast, IMLN is important for neoplasm staging and it will guide adjuvant radiotherapy. However, there still lack an effective and feasible minimally invasive diagnosis technology of IMLN, leading to inaccurate staging and over/under-treatment. The“modified injection technique” broke through the bottle-neck of the low internal mammary visualization rate with traditional injection technique, and made the internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy possible to be a min-imally invasive assessment for IMLN status, and further guided internal mammary radiotherapy (IM-RT). Patients with IMLN positive should accept IM-RT, with IMLN negative can avoid IM-RT. With the unceasing progress in studies on internal mammary lymph drainage area, patients may obtain the individualized diagnosis and treat-ment. The review summarizes current knowledge on the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system of the breast to translate this into implications for clinical practice of IM-SLNB.
4.Research progress of internal mammary lymph node in breast cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2011;23(12):793-795,806
The metastases status of internal mammary lymph node(IMLN) is an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer and it also is an important reference for neoplasm staging.The patients with IMLN metastases consistently have worse outcomes.The overall risk of IMLN metastases is 18 %-33 %.Metastases exclusively situated in the IMLN,without concurrent axillary metastases,occur in 2 %-11% of patients.Factors related to IMLN metastases include the status of axillary node,the age of patients,the localization and characteristics of primary tumor.Recently,with the development of sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB), internal mammary-SLNB may access the status of IMLN with a minimal risk. Internal mammary-SLNB procedure can improve the system for nodal staging of breast cancer,and it will contribute to the individualized treatment for breast cancer patients.
5.Research on the new trancer of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients
China Oncology 2016;26(12):1031-1036
Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been proved to be the standard treatment for early breast cancer patients with negative axillary lymph node. The study related to the tracer has become one of the hottest topics in breast cancer research. At present, the biopsy is often performed using the tracer of isotope, blue dye or both of them. However, some deifciencies of the 2 tracers restrained their applications, which resulted that the rate of the procedure is limited to only about 60% of patients in developed countries and less than 5% of patients in China and other developing countries. In recent years, a variety of new tracers have emerged, such as indocyanine green, contrast-enhanced ultra-sound using microbubbles, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. In this article, we introduced the characteristics of these 3 substances and reviewed the related research on the new tracers. In conclusion, the new tracers are still in the preliminary stage of research, and further research is needed for clinical application.
6. Effect of acute high-intensity exercise on appetite hormones in adults: A meta-analysis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2021;25(8):1305-1312
OBJECTIVE: Acute high-intensity exercise can temporarily suppress appetite, but the effect of appetite hormones in this process is inconclusive. Meta-analysis is used to explore the effects of acute high-intensity exercise on adult appetite hormones, and provide theoretical basis for the follow-up research on the effects of exercise on appetite hormones. METHODS: Chinese and International databases such as CNKI, WanFang, Web of Science, PubMed and other databases were searched for articles regarding the effects of acute high-intensity exercise on appetite hormones. The literature search time span was from inception to August 17, 2019. The subjects included in the article were all adults. The intervention measure was a single high-intensity exercise. The outcome indicators were one or combination of acylated ghrelin, peptide YY, peptide YY 3-36, pancreatic polypeptide, and pancreatic height, and glucagon-like peptide-1 expressed by area under curves. In this meta-analysis, an improved version of Cochrane risk bias tool was used to evaluate methodological quality, and Revman 5.3 and STATA15.0 software were used for the meta-analysis of the outcome indicators of the included literature. RESULTS: A total of 18 research literatures were included, with a total of 212 subjects, including 179 males and 33 females. The literature quality evaluation results showed that the overall literature quality was high. Meta-analysis results showed that acute high-intensity exercise could significantly inhibit acylated ghrelin level (standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.27, 95% confidence interval (CI):-0.45 to-0.08, P < 0.05), and significantly increase peptide YY (SMD=-0.31, 95%CI: 0.07-0.54, P < 0.05). Although there was an increase in the levels of peptide YY 3-36 (SMD=0.29, 95%CI:-0.19 to 0.77, P 0.05), pancreatic polypeptide (SMD=0.37, 95%CI:-0.07 to 0.81, P 0.05), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (SMD=0.29, 95%CI:-0.17 to 0.75, P 0.05) after acute highintensity exercise, it had no significant significance. CONCLUSION: Overall, acute high-intensity exercise has a certain effect on the level of appetite hormones, which can significantly inhibit orexigenic hormones and increase anorexigenic gastrointestinal hormones. The results suggest that acute high-intensity exercise can effectively regulate the secretion of appetite hormones, thereby controlling appetite and food intake, and can play a positive role in weight management. But future large-sample trials are needed.

Background Based on prior research in the field, a preliminary questionnaire was created to compare the coping strategies of schizophrenic patients to those of non-ill community residents. Results of the comparison were subsequently used to develop a questionnaire suitable for use in schizophrenic patients.Methods Ninety-one of the 92 items in the preliminary questionnaire were identified from previous questionnaires, and one additional item was created based on information provided in individual interviews with schizophrenic patients. This questionnaire was administered to 315 community controls and 208 schizophrenic inpatients. Exploratory Factor Analyses to identify the factor structure of coping strategies were independently conducted for controls and patients. Based on these results, a revised 65-item instrument was developed and administered to a new group of 287 controls and 219 schizophrenic inpatients. Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) using Linear Structural Relations (LISREL) were independently conducted for the two groups to confirm their respective factor structures.Results Six coping categories identified in normal controls were problem solving, avoidance, cognitive adjustment, emotional adjustment, seeking special support, and denial. Among schizophrenic patients, however,coping strategies of "seeking special support" and "denial" were not independent of the other four coping categories. Their items were distributed among the others. Results of CFA confirmed this four-category model of coping strategies for schizophrenic patients.Conclusions Coping categories employed by schizophrenic patients were different from those employed by normal community controls. Schizophrenic patients lacked the necessary flexibility of selecting appropriate coping strategies.
