RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs)and circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in peripheral blood samples in breast cancer. Methods From July 2017 to April 2018, 47 patients with BMC (7 in stage Ⅱ, 19 in stage Ⅲ and 21 in stage Ⅳ), 24 patients with benign breast diseases and 28 healthy people were selected. After collecting peripheral blood samples, serum and blood cells were separated. The size-based high-throughput microfluidic chip was used to capture CTCs. The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR based on Alu sequence was used to detect the length of cfDNA(247 bp, 115 bp)in the serum, and the ratio of amplified products of long and short fragments was used as the index of DNA integrity. The Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between the groups and analyze the relationship between CTCs and cfDNA and clinical parameters of breast cancer. The ROC curve was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the feasibility of blood cell CTCs and plasma cfDNA detection as diagnostic criteria. Results The CTCs and cfDNA of 47 BMC patients were analyzed. The CTCs and cfDNA integrity index (Alu 247/115) of BMC patients were significantly higher than those of physical examination patients[(13.98± 12.36)cells / ml vs (1.14 ± 1.35) cells / ml; 0.7687 ± 0.3868 vs 0.5094 ± 0.2456], and the difference was statistically significant(the U value was 126.5,359.0;P<0.001), the area under ROC curve of CTCs was 0.885 (95％CI: 0.805-0.965), cut-off value was 7.68/ml, sensitivity was 80.4％, specificity was 96.4％. The area under ROC curve of Alu 247/115 was 0.727(95％CI: 0.608-0.847), cut-off value was 0.431, sensitivity was 71.7％, specificity was 71.4％. The AUC of CTCs and Alu 247/115 was 0.919 (95％CI 0.854-0.984), which was higher than the single test of each indicator. Conclusions CTCs and cfDNA may be the potential biological indicators for breast cancer diagnosis. The combined detection of CTCs and cfDNA maybe improve the diagnosis rate of breast cancer patients.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the validity, reliability and feasibility of Chinese version of Aggressive Behavior-Teacher' s Checklist (TCL) among preschool children. Methods TCL was translated and administered with Child Behavior Checklist (CBCI)-aggressive subscale to 148 preschool children in Shanghai. Validity and reliability of TCL was evaluated using standard psychometric analyses. Results Each item of Chinese version of TCL was significantly correlated with the subscale it belonged to(P<0. 01). The criterion validities of reactive aggressive subscale and proactive aggressive subscale among boys and girls were from 0.491 to 0. 733. The construct validity was also confirmed by factor analysis with 78.489% variance explained by two factors. Cronbach's alpha of TCL and its two subscales were 0. 891,0. 814, and 0. 880 respectively. The test-retest reliability and the inter-rater reliability coefficients of reactive aggressive subscale and proactive aggressive subscale were all above 0. 7. Conclusion Chinese version of Aggressive Behavior-Teachers Checklist has good validity and reliability among preschool children in Shanghai, and can be applied in kindergartens and schools to evaluate and deal with aggressive behavior among these children.
RESUMO
@#Objective To observe the effect of small dosage of perphenazine(2～6 mg)on psychotic symptoms of senile dementia.Methods 31 senile cases with psychotic symptoms after dementia(Alzheimer disease or vascular dementia)accepted small dosage of perphenazine in addition of the conventional therapy.They were assessed with Sadoz Clinical Assessment Geriatric(SCAG)and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale(TESS).Results The score decreased 50%～75%(markedly improved)in 2 cases,25%～50%(improved)in 22 cases,lower than 25%(no improved)in 7 cases.Some mild emergent symptoms have been observed.Conclusion Small dosage of perphenazine is safe and effective in treating psychotic symptoms of senile dementia.
