Objective:To explore the characteristics of color Doppler ultrasound images of breast lymphoma, and to improve the coincidence rate of ultrasound diagnosis.Methods:The color Doppler ultrasound images characteristics of 24 lesions in 21 patients with breast lymphoma in Fujian Cancer Hospital from June 2011 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was counted.Results:All the patients were female, 18 cases were unilateral, 3 cases were bilateral. ALL cases were confirmed as primary or secondary breast lymphoma by coarse needle biopsy or surgical pathology. Pathological types included 18 cases (85.7%) of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 1 case of Burkitt lymphoma, 1 case of Burkitt lymphoma or unclassifiable lymphoma with features intermediated between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma. The maximum diameter of the lesions was (5.7±2.1) cm (range 1.4-16.0 cm), and all lesions were solid in ultrasound images; 19 lesions (79.2%) were mass-type and 5 lesions (20.8%) were diffuse. According to the characteristics of internal echo, the lesions were divided into hypoechogenicity (2 lesions, 8.3%), hyperechogenicity packed with hypoechogenicity (12 lesions, 50.0%), and hyperechogenicity interweaved with hypoechogenicity (10 lesions, 41.7%). According to Adler semi-quantitative method, the blood flow of the lesions was 3 lesions (12.5%) in grade Ⅰ, 6 lesions (25.0%) in grade Ⅱ, and 15 lesions (62.5%) in grade Ⅲ. The detection rate of lesions by color Doppler ultrasound was 100.0% (24/24), but the diagnostic coincidence rate was only 41.7% (10/24).Conclusions:Most of the breast lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the lesions can be effectively screened by color Doppler ultrasound, but the diagnostic coincidence rate is low. Most of the breast lymphoma grows in the form of mass with abundant internal blood flow signals. When the ultrasound image of the breast lesion is hyperechoic packed or interweaved with hypoechoic, the possibility of breast lymphoma should be considered.

Objective To examine the gene expression profile of SRY-type high-mobility-group box-9(SOX9) during entochondrostosis of mice and investigate the effects of transfection of the pDC316-SOX-9 on mice mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) in vitro. Methods cDNA microarray technique with 34 000 genes was used to analyze the gene expression profiles during entochondrostosis in the limbs of mice embryo from E10 to E14. Pathway analysis of SOX9 was performed with GCOS1.2 software. The recombined expression vector pDC316-SOX-9 was constructed and transfected into mice MSCs by lipofectamine. The phenotype changes of cells were observed with cell energometry, HE stain, immunohistochemical method, RT-PCR and ELISA.Results The gene expression of SOX9 during the critical phase of chondrogenesis in mice embryo limbs at E12 was increased evidently. SOX9 might promot chondrogenesis. As compared with vector and blank group,the chondrocytes of the SOX9 transfected group had the tendency of enhanced differentiation. Conclusion SOX9 may promote chondrogenesis. The transfection of SOX9 gene into mice MSCs can promot MSCs differentiate into chondrocyte, which may provide some experimental data for cartilage histoengineering.

Objective To analyze the performance of contrast-enhanced uhrasound(CEUS) in the evaluation of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer in different periods.Methods A prospective study consisting of 46 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma who received NAC and surgery subsequently was conducted.One patient underwent CEUS before NAC,after the second cycle of NAC and before surgery.CEUS outcomes were compared with histopathologic response by Kappa test using the Miller-Payne Grading(MPG) system.The changes of CEUS quantitative parameters in different periods of NAC were compared.Results 31 patients showed a good response by histopathology while 29 patients by CEUS,which showed good consistence.Kappa value was 0.713.The peak intensity (PI) of the lesions decreased significantly after the second cycle of NAC compared with that before NAC (P＜0.05).The peak intensity (PI),wash-in slope (WIS),and area under curve(AUC) of the lesions decreased significantly before surgery compared with those before NAC (P＜0.05).Conclusion CEUS shows good consistence with histopathologic outcomes.The peak intensity (PI) is a sensitive indicator of early changes after NAC.

Objective:To evaluate the value of conventional ultrasound(US) combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in the diagnosis of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System( BI-RADS) category 4 small(≤ 2 cm) breast nodules.Methods:A total of 175 breast nodules in 175 patients from Fujian Cancer Hospital between September 2015 and August 2018 classified as BI-RADS category 4 breast nodules with maximum diameter ≤2 cm were evaluated by US and CEUS examinations. All nodules were examined by core-needle biopsy or surgical pathology.The collected ultrasound images and videos were analyzed by blind method. Stepwise Logistic regression was used to analyze the odds ratio of malignant nodules in ultrasound images, and the risk prediction score model was constructed according to OR value. The BI-RADS category was readjusted, and the diagnostic efficiencies before and after adjustment were compared with the ROC curve. Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratios of breast malignant nodules were non-circumscribed margin ( OR=3.32, P=0.052), calcification in the mass ( OR=7.42, P=0.002), architectural distortion ( OR=38.58, P<0.001), ductal dilatation ( OR=0.01, P=0.010), suspicious or abnormal axillary lymph nodes ( OR=10.92, P=0.003), enlarged lesion scope ( OR=3.38, P=0.040), penetrating vessels ( OR=10.79, P=0.006), and non-circumscribed margin after enhancement( OR=6.24, P=0.003). When the cut-off value was 3.5, the area under ROC curve, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 0.951, 87.80%, 89.20% and 88.57%, respectively. After adjusting BI-RADS classification and taking the adjusted BI-RADS category 4a as the biopsy threshold, the biopsy rate decreased from 100% to 58.86%, the cancer detection rate increased from 46.86% to 75.73%, and the risk of missed diagnosis was 2.29%. The area under ROC curve before and after BI-RADS classification adjustment was 0.838 and 0.937, respectively. Conclusions:US combined with CEUS can improve the diagnostic efficiency of BI-RADS category 4 small breast nodules and reduce unnecessary biopsy.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of ultrasound-guided catheterization in intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy for postoperative abdominal malignant tumor without ascites. Methods A retrospective analysis were performed in 146 postoperative patients with abdominal malignancies who were admitted to Fujian Cancer Hospital from April 2013 to September 2018, and there were no ascites founded in these patients before abdominal catheterization. Two hundred and seventy-nine times ultrasound-guided catheterization in intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy were performed under clinical guidance. Results Two hundred and seventy-seven times abdominal catheterization was completed, with a success rate of 99.3％(277/279), and the one-time success rate was 83.2％(232/279), 2 times (0.7％, 2/279) had to be abandoned for peritoneal adhesions. Fifty-three patients (36.3％, 53/146) underwent catheterization ≥ 2 times. The intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy was successfully completed after catheterization, no intestinal injury and bleeding occurred. Conclusions In the absence of ascites, ultrasound guided catheterization in perfusion chemotherapy is safe, reliable, simple, accurate and has a high success rate. This new approach is good for clinical application when the conventional catheterization with ascites is blocked.
