To compare the clinical efficacy of intralesional corticosteroid injection combined with topical corticosteroids versus topical corticosteroids alone in patients with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM). Patients diagnosed with IGM and treated at the Breast Surgery Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2016 and March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on treatment modalities, patients were divided into an injection group (receiving intralesional corticosteroid injections plus topical corticosteroids) and a control group (receiving topical corticosteroids alone). Clinical outcomes and recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Seventy-eight patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled, with 51 in the injection group and 27 in the control group. The median age was 35 years (range: 22-45). The maximum lesion diameter was 8.7±2.9 cm in the injection group and 7.1±2.7 cm in the control group. Compared with the control group, the injection group showed a significantly shorter time to half remission(2.8±0.9 weeks Compared with topical corticosteroid monotherapy, the combina-tion of intralesional corticosteroid injection and topical corticosteroids provides faster symptom control and shorter treatment duration while maintaining high efficacy and low long-term recurrence rates, offering a more effective therapeutic option for IGM patients.

Objective:To explore the association of 21-gene recurrence score (RS) and clinicopathologic characteristics of hormone receptor (HR) positive T1-3N1M0 breast cancer and its value in prognosis evaluation.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 287 patients with T1-3N1M0 breast cancer were collected, the 21-gene assay was completed, and follow-up was conducted. According to the 21-gene RS, the patients were divided into the RS<26 and RS≥26 groups. The relationship between the 21-gene RS and clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, recurrence, and metastasis was analyzed. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to analyze the risk factors for disease free survival (DFS).Results:The median RS of the 287 patients was 16. There were 240 cases with RS <26 and 47 cases with RS≥26. Tumor size, grade, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki-67 index were significantly different between the two cohorts ( P<0.05 for all). After a median follow-up of 74 months, the recurrence rate in the RS<26 group (8.3%) was significantly lower than that in the RS≥26 group (23.4%), the locoregional recurrence (LRR) rates in the RS<26 and RS≥26 groups were 2.1% and 0%,and the distant metastasis (DM) rates were 6.3% and 23.4%, respectively. The 5-year relapse free survival (RFS) rates of patients with RS<26 and RS≥26 were 93.8% (95% CI: 90.7%-96.9%) and 87.2% (95% CI: 78.2%-97.3%), and the 5-year DFS rates were 92.1% (95% CI: 88.7%-95.6%) and 85.1% (95% CI: 75.5%-95.9%), respectively, with significant differences between the two cohorts ( P=0.007 and P=0.006, respectively). Univariate analysis showed age, tumor size, grade, PR status, Ki-67 index and RS were prognostic factors for DFS ( P<0.05 for all). Multivariate analysis showed that age and tumor size were independent significant predictors for DFS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The 21-gene RS of T1-3N1M0 breast cancer is related to tumor size, grade, ER, PR, and Ki-67 index. RS is an important factor affecting DM and DFS.

Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for central neurocytoma (CN) after surgical resection.Methods:Clinical data of 136 CN patients admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital from January 2001 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Preliminary interventions consisted of craniotomy (gross total resection, subtotal resection and partial resection, the latter two belonging to incomplete resection) and postoperative radiotherapy. Three-dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy was adopted, with a median radiotherapy dose of 54 Gy. Post-recurrence treatment included salvage surgery and radiotherapy. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by log-rank test to evaluate the effect of each prognostic factor on OS and PFS. The effects of multiple prognostic factors on PFS and OS were assessed by Cox regression model.Results:The median age was 28 years (range: 6-66 years). The median follow-up was 94.5 months (12-237 months). Among all patients, 79 cases underwent total resection, and 68 of them received adjuvant radiotherapy. Thirty-eight patients underwent subtotal resection, and 37 of them were treated with adjuvant radiotherapy. Sixteen patients received partial resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. Three cases received biopsy and postoperative radiotherapy. Among all patients, 3 cases died, including 2 from tumor recurrence and 1 from postoperative complication. Eight patients had recurrences during follow-up. Among them, 7 patients had recurrences at the primary site,1 had tumor dissemination to the spinal cord. The 5- and 10-year OS rates were 98.5% and 96.8%, and the 5- and 10-year PFS rates were 95.3% and 91.6% for the in the entire cohort. In the gross total resection without radiotherapy group, the 5- and 10-year PFS rates were 90.9% and 90.9%, and 96.6% and 96.6% in the gross total resection + radiotherapy group ( P=0.338). The 5- and 10-year OS rates were 100% and 100% in the gross total resection without radiotherapy group, and 98.5% and 98.5% in the gross total resection + radiotherapy group ( P=0.693). The 10-year PFS rates between the gross total resection±radiotherapy group and the incomplete resection+radiotherapy group was 95.8% vs. 90.3% ( P=0.368), and the 10-year OS rate was 98.6% vs. 94.7% ( P=0.436). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor site, degree of surgical resection, adjuvant radiotherapy and age exerted no significant effects on PFS and OS. A total of 81 patients had late neurotoxicities, including 69 cases at grade 1, 9 cases at grade 2, and 3 cases at grade 3. And 64.2% (52/81 cases) of patients suffered from short-term memory impairment. Conclusions:Gross total resection alone yields high efficacy for CN. Postoperative radiotherapy is not required. Incomplete resection combined with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy can achieve equivalent clinical efficacy to gross total resection.

OBJECTIVE To study pharmacodynamics and potential mechanism of Blumea balsamifera total flavonoids against acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model rats. METHODS AMI model of SD rats was established by ligating anterior descending branch of left coronary artery. Fifty model rats were randomly divided into model group (0.8% carboxymethyl cellulose solution), positive control group (Compound danshen tablet, 300 mg/kg), B. balsamifera total flavonoids low-dose, medium-dose and high- dose groups (3, 10, 30 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Other 10 rats were included in sham operation group (0.8% carboxymethyl cellulose solution). After 1 day of surgery, they were given relevant medicine 3 mL/kg intragastrically, once a day, for 4 consecutive weeks. The changes of S-T segment were recorded before and after operation, after weekly intragastric administration. The hemodynamic indexes of rats were all determined, i.e. systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic blood pressure (LVEDP), maximal left ventricular pressure rising rate (+LVdp/dtmax), maximal left ventricular pressure decreasing rate (-LVdp/ dtmax). The levels of serum myocardial enzymes [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB)] and inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β] were determined. The myocardial infarction rate of rats and the phosphorylation levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (Akt) proteins in myocardial tissue were determined. RESULTS Compared with model group, S-T segments of electrocardiogram were all decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05). SBP, DBP, MAP, LVSP, +LVdp/dtmax, -LVdp/dtmax, and ratio of p-PI3KTyr607/ PI3K, p-AktThr308/Akt, p-Aktser473/Akt were increased significantly in B. balsamifera total flavonoids medium-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05). The levels of LVEDP, serum myocardial enzymes and inflammatory factors, myocardial infarction rate were all decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS balsamifera total flavonoids can improve cardiac function of AMI model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factor and activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
