ABSTRACT
Objective To study the histopathological features, diagnosis criteria, the relationship of surgery pattern and prognosis of phyllode tumor of breast. Methods To analyze the histopathological features and clinical outcome of different surgery patterns in 203 patients with phyllode tumor of breast by Chi square test, Cluster, Focater, Logistic and Cox multivariate regression according to the request of SPSS 10. 0. Results 203 patients with phyllode tumor of breast were divided into three groups, i.e. benign 133 cases, borderline 42 cases and malignant 28 cases. Local recurrences in three groups were 28, 19 and 18, respectively. The patients died from tumor were 0, 2 and 16, and circulatory metastases were 0, 1 and 10, respectively. Five-year survival were 100 %,92. 0% and 33. 3% in the three groups of 131 patients by a 5 years' follow-up survey. Conclusions Tumor necrosis has important value in the diagnosis of phyllode tumor. Nature of tumor margin, cellular pleomorphism, frequency of mitoses and tumor necrosis were statistically appropriate composition in histological diagnosis of phyllode tumor. Wide local excision is preferred for the benign and borderline phyllode tumor, while simple mastectomy is indicated for recurred borderline and malignant, but tylectomy should be abolished in the treatment of phyllode tumor. Correlation of histotypes of phyllode tumor with local recurrence and tumor death was statistically significant at a level of P＜0. 001; correlation of infiltrative growth of the tumor with local recurrence was statistically significant at a level of P＜0. 001. Tumor necrosis and mitotic activity were independent prognostic factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Our aims were to study the expression of p73 protein in giant cell tumor of bone, and to investigate its function in the carcinogenesis and development of giant cell tumor of bone. Methods: The expression of p73 was detected by using S-P immunohistochemical method in 40 cases of paraffin-embedded sections of giant cell tumor of bone. Results: The positive rate of p73 in 40 patients with giant cell tumor of bone was 30.0%,and 20.0% in osteochondroma.The difference between them was not significant(P<0.05). There was significant difference between the expression of p73 in different stages of giant cell tumor of bone(P>0.05). Conclusion: The expression of p73 in giant cell tumor of bone increased prominently in this experiment. It suggests that p73 may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of giant cell tumor of bone, and p73 may also have a certain value for the diagnosis of giant cell tumor of bone.
ABSTRACT
Objective The study was attempted to observe the colorectal injury due to endoscopic snare polypectomy. Methods Histopathological study was conducted on 47 snared colorectal polyps as well as on the corresponding sites in 34 patients who underwent surgery thereafter for malignancy. Results The injury to all snared specimens was confined within submucosa,while that to surgically resected specimens at the snared sites extended to muscular and serosal layers in 28 out of 34 cases, which manifested as focal necrosis in inner muscularis and hemorrhage between inner and outer muscle layers, bearing no continuity with submucosal change.The mean size of polyps snared with injury to muscularis and serosa at the site was larger than those without ( P10mm.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the c fos proto oncogene expression in the hypothalamus of the mice which underwent water immersion and the effects of propofol Methods Twenty four mice were divided randomly into three groups:group A (normal control), group B (water immersion) and group C (water immersion+propofol) The group C was subdivided into two sub groups: in group C1 3mg/kg propofol was administered intraperitoneally 10min after water immersion; in group C2 3mg/kg propofol was given intraperitoneally 10min before water immersion The cerebral c fos positive cells were detected by S P immunohistochemical assay and the gastric ulcer index was calculated using Guth method Results Animal in group A had no gastric mucosa injury The gastric ulcer index increased significantly (6 2?2 1) with the obvious bleeding points in gastric mucosa and the rate of c fos gene positive cell increased markedly (64 2%?2 1%) in group B as compared with those in group A The gastric ulcer index and c fos gene expression rate decreased greatly in group C1 (3 2?1 0, 21 8%?3 2%) and group C2 (2 1?0 9, 18 4%?3 5%) respectively (P
