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 investigate the relationship between ultrasonographic features of papillary thy-roid carcinoma(PTC)and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LCLNM).Methods A total of 449 eligible ca-ses with 633 PTC nodules was selected and divided into two groups:LCLNM group included 135 nodules(91 pa-tients);Without metastatic groups included 498 nodules(135 patients).Ultrasonographic features of PTC nodules and the relationship with LCLNM were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression analysis .Results In univariate analysis,the significant factors were male,age1 cm),multi-microcal-cificaltion(d<2 mm),mixed flow,wider than tall,CCLNM,extrathyroid extension,located in upper(P<0.05 or P<0.017).Multivariate analysis showed that multi -microcalcificaltion(d<2 mm),wider than tall,CCLNM,ex-trathyroid extension,located in upper pole were predictive factors of LCLNM (P<0.005,OR=1.626,2.644, 0.479,2.579).Conclusion High-frequency ultrasound can accurately describe the sonographic appearance of thyroid nodules;it can be used to remind the risk of LCLNM before operation ,and will be informative for the treat-ment of surgery .
