ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the correlation between thrombelastography (TEG) and conventional coagulation indexes in breast cancer patients, and to compare the differences between the two methods in the detection of coagulation function in breast cancer patients.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of180patients with breast cancer who were performed TEG, coagulation and blood test in the same day in our hospital from November 2016to May 2017.Linear correlation and regression analysis were performed among the parameters.The differences of positive rates of TEG parameters and conventional coagulation indexes were compared.Results The R value of TEG parameters of breast cancer patients was positively correlated with K and APTT, and negatively correlated withα-Angle, MA, CI, DD, FDPs.K was positively correlated with APTT and TT, and negatively correlated withα-Angle, MA, FIB, DD, FDPs and PLT.α-Angle was positively correlated with MA, CI, FIB, DD, FDPs and PLT.MA was positively correlated with CI, FIB, DD, FDPs and PLT.CI was positively correlated with FIB, DD, FDPs and PLT.α-Angle, MA and CI were all negatively correlated with APTT and TT, the difference were statistically significant (P＜0.05).A linear regression equation of TEG parameters and coagulation indexes was obtained.There was no significant difference between TEG detection positive rate and conventional coagulation test (P＞0.05).Conclusion There are significant correlation between the TEG parameters and routine coagulation or platelet, and the results are consistent.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the correlation between thrombelastography(TEG)and coagulation, platelet count(PLT)in patients with malignant tumor.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 241 cases with tumor who were performed TEG,coagulation and blood test in the same day in Chongqing Cancer Institute from November 2016 to March 2017.Linear correlation and regression were carried out to an-alyze relationship among the parameters.The number of patients with positive blood clotting,PLT and TEG parameters were counted,and the χ2test was used to compare the difference between them.Using Mann-Whit-ney U test to compare the differences between multiple parameters of liver cancer,breast cancer,and pancreatic cancer.Results The R value of TEG parameters in patients with malignant tumor was positively correlated with APTT,negatively correlated with TT,DD and FDPs.K was positively correlated with APTT and TT, and negatively correlated with FIB and PLT.The relationship between α and FIB,PLT were positive,between APTT and TT were negative.MA was positively correlated with FIB and PLT,negatively correlated with TT, CI was positively correlated with FIB and PLT,and negatively correlated with APTT(P<0.05).The correla-tion between FIB,PLT and MA was the highest.And the linear regression equation of TEG parameters and coagulation indexes was obtained.The positive rate of TEG was lower than that of coagulation(P<0.05). Same certain differences of TEG and coagulation parameters were existed in liver cancer,breast cancer and pancreatic cancer patients.Conclusion TEG is significantly associated with PLT and conventional coagulation test,and the results of TEG and conventional coagulation test are consistent to a certain degree,but the overall agreement is generally not interchangeable.TEG might be play a complementary role with coagulation tests and platelet counts.And the TEG of different cancer types is not exactly the same as the coagulation parameters.

ABSTRACT
To explore the roles of annexin II in breast cancer progression, and to study the effect of annexin II on breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion. This study was conducted in the Key Laboratory of Diagnostic Medicine Designated by the Ministry of Education, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China from December 2006 to January 2009. First, we employed Western blot and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to detect the expression of annexin II and S100A10 in a panel of well-characterized human breast cancer cell lines, and investigated the localization of annexin II and S100A10 by use of immunofluorescence. We then silenced the expression of annexin II in MDA-MB-435s, which was found to over express annexin II, using the chemically-synthetic annexin II small interfering RNA [siRNA] duplexes [including 3 groups: blank MDA-MB-435s cells, cells transfected with negative control siRNA, and cells transfected with annexin II-siRNA]. Finally, the cell proliferation, invasion, and plasmin generation were assayed, and the cellular levels of S100A10 and c-Myc were also detected. All the tests were repeated 3 times. Annexin II and S100A10 were over expressed in invasive human breast cancer cell lines. The siRNA targeting annexin II of MDS-MB 435s cells did not only decrease annexin II messenger RNA and protein levels, but also down-regulated the levels of S100A10, and c-Myc. The treated cells were remarkably blocked in the G0/G1 phase, and cells in the S/G2+M phase decreased. Additionally, the treatment with siRNA resulted in reduction of plasmin generation as well as a loss of the invasive capacity of breast cancer cells. Annexin II might be a key contributor to breast cancer proliferation and invasion
