RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the factors affecting the successful rate of nano-carbon in sentinel lymph node biopsy. @*METHODS@#A total of 270 patients with breast cancer, who were treated in First Affilitated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from January 2013 to March 2015, were chosen and given sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) with nano-carbon, and the influencial factors were examined by logistic analysis. @*RESULTS@#Successful rate of biopsy, accuracy, sensitivity and false negative rate was 92.2%, 97.6%, 93.1% and 6.8%, respectively. Age, primary tumor lesions, body mass index, axillary lymph node status, number of SLN and pathological grade were the factors affetcing successful biopsy (all P 0.05). @*CONCLUSION@#Nano-carbon tracer method is a reliable method in sentinel lymph node biopsy. The body mass index, age, and number of lymph node metastasis greatly impact the successful rate of biopsy.

Lumbar spinal stenosis [LSS] is a usual condition for spinal surgeries among adults over 65 years old. We conducted the present study to evaluate the health-related quality of life [HRQoL] after LSS in a group of Chinese patients. We followed up 79 patients who received surgeries for LSS for one year. The HRQoL before treatment and one year after treatment was evaluated with the Medical Outcome Short Form 36 [SF-36]. The HRQoL of patients after LSS significantly improved in three mental health domains [social function, vitality and mental health] and all four physical health domains one year after surgical treatments. However, patients with TBI still had significant lower scores in every domain than the reference group even one year after discharge. The HRQoL had lower scores at discharge greatly improved one year after the treatment. This study also highlighted the usefulness of the HRQoL assessment for prognosis evaluation in patients after surgical treatment for LSS
