Objective:To investigate the LOH at regions on chromosomal arm 8p22,11p15,17p13 and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters. Methods:Thirty-four paraffin-embedded tumor and corresponding noncancerous tissues were analysed. PCR was used to amplified three microsatellite markers D8S136,D11S988 and TP53 located at these chromosomal regions. PCR products were electrophoresed on 6%polyacrylamide gel and detected using silver staining. The P53, c-erBb-2,PR,ER status were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results:Of the three markers we studied, D8S136 was detected LOH at a frequency of 12 in 34 tumors(35.29%). D11S988 and TP53 were detected LOH at a frequency of 5 in 34 tumors(14.71%). There were no obvious associations between LOH at D11S988、TP53 and clinicopathological parameters, but the tumors with LOH at D8S136 were significant larger than that without LOH(P=0.0049). Conclusion: Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast has a frequent LOH on chromosome 8p22. The loss or inactivation of putative tumor suppressor genes on 8p22 may contribute to the excessive growth of the tumors.

Objective:To explore the effective diagnosis method and the clinical effect of laparoscopic technique for atypical CE1 hepatic cystic echinococcosis.Methods:The clinical data of 17 patients with atypical liver cystic echinococcosis from June 2018 to June 2019 in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were analyzed retrospectively, including 11 males and 6 females, (46.0±21.6) years old, all patients with a history of exposure in animal husbandry area. Preoperative hydatid immunity test, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal CT examination were completed, and laparoscopic surgery was performed. Postoperative follow-up was conducted by outpatient review and telephone, and the follow-up period was up to June 2020. The diagnosis, operation and recurrence of hydatid disease by different examination methods were analyzed.Results:Preoperative serum immunological examination of 17 patients showed that 11 were positive and 6 were negative for hepatic echinococcosis. The results of abdominal CT showed that 17 cases were hepatic cyst. Conventional color doppler ultrasound showed that 14 patients were hepatic cyst, 3 patients showed cystic space occupying, and cystic hydatidosis was not excluded; 9 patients observed double track sign or local thickening of cystic wall at the top of hepatic cystic lesions after replacement of high-frequency probe, which was diagnosed as hepatic cystic echinococcosis(CE1) , 8 patients as hepatic cyst. All 17 patients underwent laparoscopic operation, during which they were definitely diagnosed as hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE1). During the operation, there was no conversion to laparotomy. The operation time was (125.0±54.5) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (150.0±84.5) ml without blood transfusion, and the postoperative hospital stay was (6.5±2.5) d. There were no serious complications or deaths in the perioperative period, 2 cases had microbile leakage, and recovered by themselves 5-10 days after the operation; the patients were followed up for 6-12 months, no loss of follow-up, no recurrence of liver and abdominal hydatid.Conclusions:In the process of diagnosis and treatment of liver single cystic lesions, we should pay attention to the differential diagnosis of atypical CE1 hepatic cystic echinococcosis and simple liver cyst. The effective differential rate of abdominal spiral CT, hydatid immune experiment and abdominal ultrasound is low, which is easy to be misdiagnosed and missed. The high frequency probe of abdominal ultrasound can effectively find atypical CE1 hepatic cystic echinococcosis. Laparoscopic technique is not only an effective diagnosis method but also a treatment method. It is necessary to choose a reasonable operation method according to the patient's hydatidosis. Laparoscopic operation is safe and feasible in the treatment of hepatic cystic echinococcosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) dilatation in treating coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) occurring after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation,and to observe the long-term changes of the target vascular lumen area in order to clarify the curative effect of paclitaxel DCB in treating ISR.Methods Four patients with ISR whose clinical condition met the DCB indication were selected.According to the standard process,sufficient pre-expansion of ISR was performed first,then paclitaxel DCB dilatation was carried out to dilate the lesion segment of ISR,and no stent was implanted.Both coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) were performed immediately after the treatment as well as 9 months to measure the minimum lumen area (MLA) and cross-sectional area (SA) of the stent,and the intimal hyperplasia was also been evaluated.Results In all 4 patients,angiography performed immediately after paclitaxel DCB dilatation showed that neither dissection of the dilated segment of the target artery nor obvious residual stenosis was observed.Angiography performed 9 months after the treatment revealed that all dilated segments of the target arteries were patent,and no pronounced restenosis of stent segment was seen.IVUS examination was indicated that MLA became enlarged,SA showed an increasing trend,and intimal hyperplasia showed a tendency to be inhibited.Conclusion For the treatment of ISR,pure paclitaxel DCB dilatation can obtain long-term lumen area enlargement,thus,repeated stent implantation can be avoided,which,in turn,can reduce the risk of ISR recurrence.Paclitaxel DCB dilatation can locally release paclitaxel,which has curative effect on the coronary artery wall to inhibit the excessive proliferation of intima.
