ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the expressions of COX-2 and VEGF-C in breast cancer and to explore the relationship between their expressions and lymphatic metastasis. Methods Immunohistochemical stai- ning (SABC) was used to detect the expressions of COX-2 and VEGF-C proteins in 60 cases of breast canc- er. Results The positive rate of COX-2 and VEGF-C in breast cancer were 66.7% and 60. 0%, and the expression of COX-2 was positively correlated with VEGF-C (r =0.429, P<0.05). COX-2 and VEGF-C expressions were positively correlated with lymphatic metastasis (P<0.05). The lymphatic metastasis rate in the positive group of COX-2 and VEGF-C were higher than that in the negative group of COX-2 and VEGF-C. Conclusion Over expression of COX-2 and VEGF-C were observed in breast cancer, and closely related to lymphatic metastasis. COX-2 has positive correlation with VEGF-C and was correlated with lym- phatic metastasis of breast cancer. COX-2 may promote the over expression of VEGF-C in tumor cells and cause lymphatic metastasis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the problem behaviors of high school students and its distribution among them. Methods: 1 739 middle school students in Beijing were collected as our sample (N=1739). Anonymous questionnaire of problem behavior of adolescents were used in this investigation. Results:1) the problem behaviors (general delinquency, cigarette smoking, and problem drinking) were significantly correlated with each other (r=0.28, 0.37, 0.39,P
