ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the metastasis and the prognosis of the axillary lymph nodes in triple-negative and invasive ductal breast cancer patients of different ages.Methods 321 female breast cancer patients diagnosed as triple-negative and invasive ductal carcinoma from Jan.1,2008 to Dec.31,2017 were selected as the samples,all of whom were treated with regular surgical treatment and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and were divided into three groups according to their ages,including the younger group(＜40 years old),the middle age group (40 to 60 years old),and the elder group(≥60 years).We compared the metastasis of axillary lymph node,the disease-free survival rate after 1 to 5 years of the operations and the prognostic factors of the three groups.Results Among the 321 patients,there were 94 young patients,151 middle-aged patients and 76 elder patients.Among the three groups,the rate of axillary lymph nodes metastasis was the lowest in the elderly group(11.8％),the highest in the middle-aged group(17.2％)and middle in the young group(13.8％).The patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years.The recurrence rate of the young,middle-aged and elder groups was 56.4％,53.6％ and 17.1％ respectively.There was a significant difference between the three groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion ①he frequency of LN transfer in patients of TNBC is lower in the younger and the elder patients than in the middle-aged patients.②The younger patients of TNBC have a higher recurrence rate and poor prognosis,while the elder patients of TNBC have the lowest recurrence rate and good prognosis.(③The prognosis of TNBC may be related to metabolism,which,of course,needs to be further verified with the proof of blood and cell test.(④The younger patients of TNBC are more likely to suffer blood metastasis,and adjuvant systemic therapy in early period may be more beneficial than local radiotherapy and early axillary dissection.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the features of the cortisol ( COR),thyroid hormone and autonomic function of anxiety disorder,and to observe the relationships between clinical subtypes,insomnia,gender factors and the neuroendocrine and autonomic function.Methods60 anxiety disorder patients and 60 healthy controls were randomly selected from a three-grade class A hospital over the same period.Blood at 8:00am to test the plasma COR,T3,T4,TSH level and examined the heart rate variability (HRV) on the same day,the anxiety disorder patients also finish the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS).ResultsThe plasma COR,TSH level and LF/HF index were significantly higher( (531.58 ± 218.59 ) nmol/L,P＜ 0.0l ; (3.50 ± 1.35 ) MIU/L,P＜ 0.05 ;3.87 ± 3.37,P＜0.0l ),while the SDNN,LF,HF index were significantly lower in anxiety disorder than that in the control group (27.34±13.13,P＜0.01;338.72 ±396.34,P＜0.01;135.77 ±149.95,P＜0.01).The plasma COR,TSH level and LF/HF index were significantly higher(P ＜ 0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.01 ),while the SDNN and HF index were significantly lower in panic disorder than that in the generalized anxiety disorder (P ＜ 0.01 ).The plasma COR,TSH level and LF/HF index were significantly higher,while the SDNN,LF,HF index were significantly lower in panic disorder than that in the control group (P＜0.01 ).The plasma COR was significantly higher,while the SDNN and HF index were significantly lower in generalized anxiety disorder than that of the control group (P＜0.01 ).The plasma COR level and LF/HF index were significantly higher (P＜0.01,P＜0.05),while the SDNN,LF,HF index were significantly lower in anxiety disorder with or without insomnia than that in the control group (P＜ 0.01 ).The plasma TSH level was significantly higher in anxiety disorder with insomnia than that in the control group (P＜ 0.05 ).There were no significant difference of the neuroendocrine and autonomic function between anxiety disorder with or without insomnia (P ＞ 0.05 ).The plasma COR,TSH level were significantly higher,while the SDNN,LF,HF index were significantly lower in the female group than that in the male group (P＜0.01).The total SAS scores were significantly positively correhted with plasma COR levels,and was significantly negatively correlated with SDNN,HF index in the anxiety group.ConclusionThere are neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous system dysfunctions in anxiety disorder,and these dysfunctions are related with clinical subtypes,insomnia,and gender.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relatiouship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and schizophreuia symptoms in schizo-obsessive patients, and to address the feature of insight. Methods Fifty-two cases of schizophrenia with obsessive-compulsive symptoms were assessed by Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale( YBOCS) and positive and negative syndrome scale(PANSS). Results The Y-BOCS overall severity score(26.7 ±4.78)was not correlated with the PANSS total score(86.9 ± 13.4)( r=0. 191 , P＞0.05), there was significant association between the insight score( 2.65 ±0.81 )and the PANSS total score( 86. 9 ± 13.4 ) ( r = 0. 416, P＜0. 01 ),and the same between the insight score( 2.65 ± 0. 81 )and the Y-BOCS overall severity score(26.7 ±4.78 ) ( r = 0. 387, P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion Obsessive-compulsive symptoms and schizophrenia symptoms in schizo-obsessive patients are not correlated, obsessive-compulsive symptoms are not inherent symptoms of schizophrenia. As insight is correlated with both obsessive-compulsive symptoms and schizophrenia symptoms, anti-psychotic along with anti-compulsive treatment should be able to effectively improve the insight of schizo-obsessive patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the expression of RGMa and RhoA in the hippocampus of cognitive impairment rats induced by A?1-40. Methods:Morris water maze was used to study the cognitive function, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)method was used to determine the changes of RGMa mRNA and RhoA mRNA expressions. mmunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of RGMa protein. Results:Model group showed learning and memory impairment, the expression levels of RGMa mRNA and protein in the hippocampus decreased compared with control group(p
