RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of non-specific invasive breast cancer (IBC-NST) and the relationship between ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 expression. 【Methods】 A total of 101 patients with IBC-NST were retrospectivily recruited and divided into two groups with high expression of Ki-67 (70cases) and low expression of Ki-67 (31cases). The χ2 test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to compare the clinical and pathological characteristics and other count data of patients between the groups. The comparison of ultrasound diagnosis of ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis and pathological results was calculated using correlation values such as sensitivity and specificity. The correlation between ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 expression was analyzed with Spearman correlation analysis. 【Results】 In different Ki-67 expression groups, the size of tumor mass, histological grade of breast cancer, and clinical stage were statistically different between Ki-67 expression groups (P<0.05). The positive expression rate of tumor mass ≥2 cm (58.57%), histological grade Ⅲ (32.86%), clinical stages Ⅲ (34.29%) and Ⅳ (5.71%) was higher in the Ki-67 high expression group; ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 high expression were positively correlated (r=0.393, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In IBC-NST cases, the tumor mass ≥ 2 cm, histological grade Ⅲ, clinical stage Ⅲ, and Ⅳ are correlated with the high expression of Ki-67. At the same time, ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 high expression are positively correlated, which provides reference for IBC-NST proliferation assessment and clinical intervention.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the sensitivity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and ultrasonic elastography(UE) in detecting different sizes of thyroid papillary carcinoma.Methods 64 cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma were divided into two groups according to the diameter size(group 1,≤1 cm;group 2,＞ 1 cm) and examined by the contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography,then the features were analyzed and the sensitivity for detecting of the two methods in different groups were compared.Results The sensitivity for detecting in CEUS was higher than in UE,which had significant difference between two methods.CEUS and UE were valuable for detecting and they had no difference in sensitivity for detecting in group 1.There was a significant difference in sensitivity for detecting between two methods in group 2.Conclusions Both CEUS and UE were valuable in diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma and the sensitivity for detecting in CEUS is higher than in UE in group 2.
