RESUMO
Objective To investigate the correlation between female age,menstrual status and the density of breast fibrous glandular tissue. Methods A total of 1 734 subjects with mammography examination were retrospectively analyzed,who were with 28 to 30 d menstrual cycle,or underwent natural menopause for more than 1 years,or with at least one side of the breast had no lesions,from October 2015 to August 2016 in Medical University Of Tianjin Cancer Hospital. At the same time, another 139 cases with mammography examination were treated as nonnatural menopause group, who received hysterectomy or postoperative chemotherapy of breast cancer. The breast fibrous gland tissue density of each subject was automatically calculated by the computer aided diagnosis system. One thousand seven hundred and thirty four subjects were divided into 4 groups according to age,including≤35 years old group(n=217),36 to 45 years old group(n=533),46 to 55 years old group(n=491),≥56 years old group(n=493),and was divided into premenopausal group(n=1 015)and natural postmenopausal group(n=719)according to the menstrual status.The premenopausal group was further divided into four subgroups:menstruation(n=158),one week after menstruation(n=311),two weeks after menstruation(n=316),and one week before menstruation(n=230). According to the status of menopause, the nonnatural postmenopausal group was divided into hysterectomy group(n=62)and drug menopause group(n=77)because of the postoperative chemotherapy of breast cancer. Pearson method was used to evaluate the correlation between age and breast fibrous glandular tissue density.A single factor analysis of variance was used to compare the differences in tissue density of subjects from different age groups and subjects from different menstrual status groups. The independent sample t test was used to compare the difference of the breast fibrous glandular tissue density between the premenopausal group and the natural postmenopausal group and between the nonnatural menopause group and the natural postmenopausal group.Results The tissue density differences of subjects from different age groups were statistically significant, and the tissue density of ≥56 years old group was lower compared to the other groups(P<0.05).A moderately negative correlation was presented between age and breast fibrous glandular tissue density(r=-0.456,P<0.01).The breast fibrous glandular tissue density of the premenopausal group was higher than that of natural postmenopausal group [(20.11 ± 8.54)% vs. (11.30±6.05)%,t=25.138,P<0.05].As to the different menstrual status,there was a significant differences between one week after menstruation subgroup and one week before menstruation subgroup(P<0.05).The density of fibrous glandular tissues in the hysterectomy group and the drug menopause group was(16.27± 6.91)% and(15.44±7.31)%, respectively. There was significant difference between drug postmenopausal group and natural postmenopausal group(t=-5.592, P<0.05). Conclusions Breast fibrous glandular tissue density decreases with the age. The breast fibrous glandular tissue density of the premenopausal women is significantly higher than that of natural postmenopausal women.The breast fibrous glandular tissue density of one week after menstruation is lower than that of the one week before menstruation.
RESUMO
A new species of Gephyrocharax is described from the río Cascajales basin, a tributary of the río La Colorada, río Magdalena system, Colombia. The new species is distinguished from its congeners, except G. melanocheir, by the absence of an adipose fin in most specimens and by the possession of a lateral branched pectoral-fin ray in males with a distal fan-shaped structure with minute bony hooks and a dark blotch or a few scattered dark brown chromatophores along its branches. The new species differs from G. melanocheir by the absence of an intense black pigmentation at the base of the anterior five dorsal-fin rays, the number of vertebrae (40-41 vs. 38-39), the frontals contacting each other anterior to the epiphyseal bar in adults (vs. the absence of contact), the posterior margin of the mesethmoid straight in its central portion (vs. strongly concave at this point), the pouch scale of mature males reaching caudal-fin ray 11 or the area between caudal-fin rays 11 and 12 (vs. reaching only to caudal-fin ray 10 or the area between caudal-fin rays 9 and 10), the number of minute terminal branches of the lateral branched pectoral-fin ray of mature males (60-88 vs. 28-54), a longer black lateral stripe along the body in males (reaching to the base of the caudal-fin rays vs. reaching the middle of the length of the caudal peduncle), and the snout length (28.3-31.8% HL vs. 22.2-28.0% HL). The diagnosis of Gephyrocharax is modified to include species with the adipose fin variably present.
Una nueva especie del género Gephyrocharax se describe para la cuenca del río Cascajales, tributario del río La Colorada, sistema del río Magdalena, Colombia. La nueva especie se distingue de sus congéneres, excepto G. melanocheir, por la ausencia de aleta adiposa en la mayoría de los individuos y por la presencia del radio ramificado lateral de la aleta pectoral con una estructura distal en forma de abanico, la cual tiene ganchos óseos diminutos y una mancha difusa oscura o unos pocos cromatóforos pardos oscuros a lo largo de sus ramificaciones. La nueva especie difiere de G. melanocheir por la ausencia de una intensa pigmentación negra sobre la base de los cinco radios anteriores de la aleta dorsal, el número de vértebras (40-41 vs. 38-39), los frontales contactando entre sí anteriormente a la barra epifisaria en adultos (vs. la ausencia de contacto), el margen posterior del mesetmoides recto en su porción central (vs. fuertemente cóncavo en este punto), la extensión dorsal de la escama-bolsillo de machos maduros alcanzando el radio caudal 11 o el área entre los radios caudales 11 y 12 (vs. alcanzando el radio caudal 10 o el área entre los radios caudales 9 y 10), el número de ramificaciones terminales diminutas del radio ramificado lateral de la aleta pectoral (60-88 vs. 28-54), la línea negra lateral sobre el cuerpo en machos más alargada (alcanzando la base de los radios de la aleta caudal vs. alcanzando la mitad de la longitud del pedúnculo caudal), y la longitud del hocico (28,3-31,8% LC vs. 22,2-28,0% LC). Modificamos la diagnosis de Gephyrocharax incluyendo especies con o sin aleta adiposa.
