Objective To explore the pathological characteristics and prognostic influencing factors of T1 invasive ductal breast carcinoma with calcification.Methods The clinicopathological and follow-up data in 172 patients with initially treated operable T1 invasive ductal breast cancer in this hospital from June 2012 to June 2013 were analyzed restrospectively.The patients were divided into the calcification group and non-calcification group based on the breast X-ray image features.The differences of pathological characteristics between two groups,related factors,and relationship between the calcification expression with patient survival were analyzed.Results The pathological types,lymph node metastasis,Her-2 overexpression,TNM stage and Ki-67 had statistically significant difference between the calcification group and non-calcification group(P<0.05).The multivariate analysis showed that the cases type,lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 were the related risk factors affecting the calcification expression(P<0.05).The 3-year disease-free survival rate in the the calcifi cation group and non-calcification group were 87.30% and 95.06% respectively.The lymph node status and calcification were the independent predictive risk factors affecting the disease-free survival time of invasive ductal breast carcinoma(P<0.05).Conclusion Calcification is visible X-ray risk factor of T1 invasive ductal breast carcinoma prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors influencing early and late recurrences after resection of primary clear cell carcinoma of the liver (PCCCL).Methods 214 PCCCL patients treated by curative resection from January 1996 to March 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Recurrences were classified into early (≤1 year) and late (>1 year) recurrences.Results 99 patients developed recurrences,with early recurrence in 28 patients and late recurrence in 71 patients.The 3-and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for recurrent PCCCL were significantly worse than those with no recurrence (68.7% and 46.2% vs 72.2% and 64.3%,P=0.003).The 1-,3-and 5-year OS rates for late recurrence were 100%,80.3% and 54.6%,which were significantly better than those with early recurrence (85.7%,39.3% and 25.0%,P=0.001).On multivariate analysis,aminoleucine transferase (ALT) level and vascular invasion were independent risk factors for early recurrence,while age was the only significant risk factor for late recurrence.Conclusions The time to recurrence was the main determinant for prognosis of recurrent PCCCL,Clarifying the different risk factors for early and late recurrences will help postoperative follow-up,early detection of recurrence,and hopefully will improve survival.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic factors of primary clear cell carcinoma of the liver(PCCCL). Methods A total of 214 PCCCL patients treated by curative resection from January 1996 to March 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The 1-,3-,and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for PCCCL patients were significantly better than those of non-clear cell hepatocellular carcinoma ( NHCC ) patients ( 90.2%,70.6%,and 55.9% vs 82.8%,62.7% and 47.7%,P =0.001 ).Tumor size was significantly smaller in PCCCL group than in NHCC group ( x2 =4.37,P =0.04 ).Tumors of PCCCL group had a lower incidence of vascular invasion ( x2 =9.42,P =0.002) and a better differentiation than those of NHCC group ( x2 =4.30,P =0.04).Serum a-fetoprotein (AFP) level,tumor size,liver cirrhosis,and vascular invasion were independent risk factors impacting OS and disease-free survival (DFS) of PCCCL. Conclusions PCCCL is an uncommon subtype of HCC and has different clinicopathologic characteristics from NHCC. Complete surgical resection is the optimal treatment for PCCCL and its prognosis is much better than that of NHCC.

Objective To study the risk factors of post-hepatectomy hepatic decompensation (PHD) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodWe reviewed 562 patients with Child-Pugh A classification,who underwent partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University between July 1st 2007 to December 31st 2007,to study the risk factors of hepatic decompensation.ResultsPreoperative high total bilirubin (TB) and low prealbumin (PA) were independent risk factors of PHD by logistic multivariate analysis ROC analysis revealed the cut-offs of preoperative PA predicting PHD were 0.14 g/L (sensitivity 41.4%; specificity 83.1%).The incidence of PHD was 16.0% when TB≥20.4 μmol/L and PA<0.14 g/L(OR=7.276,P=0.002).ConclusionThe Child-Pugh A patients recovered well when the preoperative liver function was as follows:TB<20.4 μmol/L and PA≥0.14 g/L.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of TMPRSS4 in radiation induced metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Metastatic model of human HCC was established by orthotopic implantation of histologically intact human HCC tissue into the liver of nude mice.Mice bearing xenografts in liver were killed after radiation and the residual tumors were resected and reimplanted into the liver of normal nude mice.At the end of sixth week,the mice were killed and the histopathological features,tumor volume,intrahepatic and lung metastasis were evaluated.Expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related genes including N-cadherin,Vimentin,SIP1 and TMPRSS4 were measured by Western blotting and RT-PCR.Results The tumor volume and frequency of lung metastasis of control group was 2.25±0.52 cm3 and 66.7%,respectively.Compared to control group,tumor diameter (1.61±0.51 cm3,P<0.05) and lung metastasis (12.5%,P<0.05) were significantly inhibited 2 days after radiation.Whereas,30 days after radiation,tumor growth recovered (2.60±0.61 cm3,P>0.05) and lung metastasis was enhanced (100%,P<0.05).There were no intrahepatic metastasis in the control group and in the group of reimplantation of HCC 2 days after radiation,while the tumors from those 30 days after radiation showed enhanced intrahepatic metastasis (18 ± 8.05,P< 0.01 ),with overexpression of SIP1,N-cadherin,Vimentin and TMPRSS4,and reduced expression of E-cadherin.Conclusion The metastasis potential of residual HCC after radiation was first inhibited and then promoted.Overexpression of TMPRSS4 plays a critical role in radiation induced long-term metastasis of HCC by facilitating EMT.
