Correlation of D-dimer, serum potassium and thromboelasto-graphy parameters with progressive hemorrhagic injury / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation between D-dimer, serum potassium and thromboelastography parameters and progressive hemorrhagic injury (PHI) after brain injury. 【Methods】 The data of 209 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in our hospital from January 2018 to May 2021 were collected and analyzed. The patients were divided into PHI group (161 cases) and non-PHI group (48 cases) according to CT scan whether the total bleeding lesions had increased by 25%. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of PHI, and receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of D-dimer, serum potassium and thromboelastography (TEG) parameters used alone and in combination. 【Results】 PHI occurred in 48 (23.0 %) out of 209 TBI patients. In univariate analysis, there were statistically significant differences in GCS score, age, light emission, systolic blood pressure, serum potassium, blood calcium, blood glucose, R value, PT, APTT, INR, D-dimer, arachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, cerebral contusion and midline location between the two groups (P<0.05). Five independent risk factors were determined by multivariate Logistic analysis (P<0.05): D-dimer ≥3.52 μg/mL, serum potassium <3.70 mmol/L, R value ≥5.65 min, subdural hematoma and cerebral contusion. PHI model was constructed according to independent risk factors, and the maximum area under the curve (AUC) of D-dimer plus serum potassium plus R value plus subdural hematoma plus cerebral contusion was 0.889 9. 【Conclusion】 D-dimer ≥3.52 μg/mL, serum potassium <3.70 mmol/L, R value ≥5.65 min, subdural hematoma and cerebral contusion are significant influences for PHI occurrance in TBI patients.

Efficacy Prediction Model for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on Breast Cancer Based on Differential Genes Expression / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To screen out significant differential genes for predicting the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and select the most suitable breast cancer patients for NAC. Methods A total of 60 breast cancer patients' samples before and after NAC were collected for high-throughput RNA-Seq. We selected AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 as the candidate genes that related to tumor chemotherapeutic resistance. We analyzed the correlation of AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ, AKAP12 expression levels with the effect of NAC by logistic regression analysis, constructed a prediction model and demonstrated the model by the nomogram. Results AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 expression were up-regulated in the residual tumor tissues of non-pCR group after NAC(P < 0.05). Compared with pCR group, non-pCR group presented higher expression levels of AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 (P < 0.05). The high expression levels of AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 significantly reduced the pCR rate of NAC for breast cancer (P < 0.05). Our prediction model which AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 were involved in showed a good fitting effect with H1 test (χ2=6.3967, P=0.4945) and the ROC curve (AUC 0.8249, 95%CI: 0.722-0.9271). Conclusion AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 may be novel marker genes for NAC effect on breast cancer. The efficacy prediction model based on this result is expected to be a new method to select the optimal patients of breast cancer for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

The research of sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer patients / 中华肿瘤杂志

With the extensive use of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), some breast cancer patients could avoid axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and its complications. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plays an important role in the multimodality therapies of breast cancer. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, some patients with breast cancer were down-staged from positive axillary lymph node (cN+ ) to clinically negative (cN0). For these patients, the feasibility and safety of sentinel lymph node biopsy remains controversial. However, with the application of new technologies, SLNB is expected to become the main treatment for breast cancer patients with stage cN0 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Safety of the nipple-sparing mastectomy in treating breast cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

As a kind of breast cancer surgery choice,the nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM)saves the patients′nipple-areola complex (NAC)which has significant meaning for patients′cosmetic results and posto-peration reconstruction.However,the clinical application of NSMis still in controversial.Some hot topics about oncological safety of NSM have appeared in recent years,such as the screening criterion of the enrolled patients,the situation of NAC involvement and the complications after NSM and handing methods.

The expression of CCDC8 gene in breast cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To determine the relationship between CCDC8 gene and breast cancer.Methods 40 cancerous breast tissue and 22 benign breast tissue were included.qRT-PCR was performed to investigate the expression level of CCDC8 in breast tissue.The correlation between CCDC8 level and the age of patients,tumor size,clinical staging,and the expression levels of estrogen and progesterone receptors,CerbB2,Ki-67,p53 and nm23 were analyzed.Results The expression level of CCDC8 in benign breast tissue (1685±755) was significantly higher than that in cancerous tissues (502.1 ±223.2).Tissues obtained from patients over age 50 showed an increased level of CCDC8 (789.8±367) in comparison to those from patients age 50 or younger (452.5±170.3).The level of CCDC8 expression was negatively correlated with nm23 level (Correlation Coefficient =-0.400,P =0.039),while no correlation was found between CCDC8 and cancer stages,estrogen and progesterone receptor,CerbB2,Ki-67and p53.Conclusion The negative correlations between CCDC8 and age,tumor size and nm23 indicate that CCDC8 is a potential tumor suppressor,influencing the occurrence and progression in breast cancer.

The effect of histone deacetylase inhibitors on cell cycle of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 / 中国综合临床

Objective To study the effect of histone deacetylase inhibitors on cell cycle of breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods The breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was treated by histone deacetylase inhibitors (TSA、SAHA、CS055、MS-275)respectively and observed by MTT assay after 24 hours,48 hours,72 hours,96 hours.The chosen inhibitor was used to treat MCF-7 cell in different concentration.The flow cytometry was used to detect the Sphase cell and Cyclin A2,Cyclin D1.SPSS 10.0 was used to analyze the data.Results Within the four inhibitors,SAHA showed the most powerful effect of depression of cell growth and time-effect relation.The percentage of Sphase cells and level of Cyclin A2 decreased,the level of Cyclin D1 increased.Conclusions SAHA is the most powerful histone deacetylase inhibitors for breast cancer cell MCF-7,the effect of depression of cell growth shows time-effect relation.Cyclin A2 and Cyclin D1 were involed in this regulation of cell cycle.
