Fractionated evaluation of immunohistochemical hormone receptor expression enhances prognostic prediction in breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen as adjuvant therapy

Objective:To compare the prognostic prediction between dichotomized and fractionated evaluations of hormone receptor expressions. Methods: Patients with stages I-III breast cancers, who received adjuvant tamoxifen, were enrolled.

雌激素和Glu-NMDA受体通路与学习记忆相关性的研究进展

雌激素(estrogen,E)是维持女性第二性征最主要的甾体物质,其在神经系统也发挥广泛的药理作用,如抗脑缺血再灌注损伤减少梗死面积,抗自由基形成,调节兴奋性氨基酸释放等.雌激素自身作为一种抗氧化剂能够通过调节体内氧化还原平衡发挥神经保护作用.另外,雌激素在神经系统药理作用的发挥与其受体密不可分,经典的雌激素受体(estrogen receptor, ER)主要位于细胞核内,包括ER-α和ER-β两种亚型,二者均可在大脑皮质和海马表达:卵巢切除大鼠学习记忆能力降低的同时,ER-α在大脑皮质区和海马区表达也显著减少;ER-β基因敲除能够严重影响学习记忆行为、长时程增强(long term potentiation,LTP)和突触强度,该受体可能参与了高级脑功能的调节.N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(N-methyl-D-aspartic acid,NMDA)受体作为与学习记忆密切相关的受体,与雌激素受体在海马区存在共表达.雌激素可能通过膜相关的雌激素受体快速激活ERK1/2信号转导通路,进一步诱导NMDA受体NR2B亚基磷酸化,激活NMDA受体,三者均会影响突触可塑性.本文就雌激素及其受体和Glu-NMDA受体通路与学习记忆的相关性进行综述.     

Imbalanced expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases in lung squamous cell carcinoma

Objective  

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are correlated with a more malignant phenotype in many cancers. This study was designed to evaluate the predictive value of the expression of MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK_1/2), as the key regulatory mechanism of the MAPKs, in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).     

Diagnosis and treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) commonly occurs in tall, thin, adolescent men. Though the pathogenesis of PSP has been gradually uncovered, there is still a lack of consensus in the diagnostic approach and treatment strategies for this disorder. Herein, the literature is reviewed concerning mechanisms and personal clinical experience with PSP. The chest computed tomography (CT) has been more commonly used than before to help understand the pathogenesis of PSP and plan further management strategies. The development of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has changed the profiles of management strategies of PSP due to its minimal invasiveness and high effectiveness for patients with these diseases.     

Liquid-based cytology aids in primary fallopian tube cancer diagnosis

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare malignant carcinoma among all genital tract malignancies. It occurs most commonly in postmenopausal women and is similar to ovarian malignancy historically and clinically. Because of its insidious onset and silent course, the diagnosis is made usually postoperatively. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a type of method for cervical cancer screening, but sometimes it may aid in making PFTC diagnosis. We report a 47-year-old woman with PFTC, whose diagnosis was made with the aid of LBC.

Luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype of triple-negative breast cancer: molecular,morphological, and clinical features

According to the classification presented by Lehmann BD (2016), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors with four specific subtypes: basal-like (subtype 1 and subtype 2), mesenchymal, and luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtypes. The basal-like subtypes of carcinomas predominate in this group, accounting for up to 80% of all cases. Despite the significantly lower proportions of mesenchymal and LAR variants in the group of breast carcinomas with a TNBC profile, such tumors are characterized by aggressive biological behavior. To this end, the LAR subtype is of particular interest, since the literature on such tumors presents different and even contradictory data concerning the disease course and prognosis. This review is devoted to the analysis of the relevant literature, reflecting the main results of studies on the molecular properties and clinical features of the disease course of LAR-type TNBC carcinomas.     

乳腺癌ER、PR、HER-2癌基因的表达及其意义的研究

目的：探讨乳腺癌ER、PR、HER-2癌基因的表达的病理学意义．方法：应用免疫组织化学超敏SP法，检测106例乳腺癌ER、PR和癌基因HER-2的表达，45例乳腺增生症及乳腺纤维腺瘤HER-2的表达，并按照FDA推荐的DACO公司Hercep Test的标准对HER-2的表达强度进行评分．分析ER、PR和癌基因HER-2的表达与乳腺癌的组织病理学关系．结果：乳腺癌ER阳性率为51．88％，PR阳性率为44．34％，HER-2的阳性率为71．69％，而且ER、PR阳性率随着乳腺癌级数增加(恶性程度增加)而降低；ER、PR的阳性率与淋巴结转移有关联．HER-2阳性程度的增生，乳腺疾病的危险程度随之增加，乳腺癌的恶性程度也相应增加；结论：同时检测乳腺癌ER、PR和HER-2的表达，不仅对指导临床判断疾病的预后有重要参考价值，而且可为临床制定乳腺癌的综合治疗方案提供依据．     

Evaluation of ERCP in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma invading bile ducts

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed preoperatively on 29 patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) invading bile ducts. The outstanding features were: 1. Most of the filling defects were situated within the common, right or left hepatic duct associated with proximal bile duct dilatations (17 cases);2. Tumor encasement resulted in localised or diffused irregular strictures and dilatations (9 cases); 3. Displacement and stretching of the intrahepatic ducts by pressure of tumor mass (3 cases). These features are different from that in cholangiocarcinoma.ERCP should be considered as an important diagnostic procedure for HCC. It is especially useful for cases with obscure intrahepatic duct dialatation and/or an increase of AFP, and will help early diagnosis of HCC.     

Screen p53 mutations in hepatocellular carcinoma by FASAY:A novel splicing mutation

INTRODUCTION Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer in new cases per year (626 000) and the third most common cancer resulting in death (598 000) (Parkin et al., 2005). China is the country most seriously suffering from HCC, accounting for 55% of total cases and deaths worldwide per year. The clinical behavior of HCC is heterogeneous and difficult to predict, and in patients undergoing resec-tion, recurrence rates can be as high as 50% in two years and life ex…     

Assessment of ghrelin and leptin receptor levels in postmenopausal women who received oral or transdermal menopausal hormonal therapy

Objective  

In postmenopausal women, an increased leptin concentration and reduced levels of ghrelin and adiponectin were observed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of the active form of ghrelin, total ghrelin, leptin receptor, lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) in postmenopausal women who received oral or transdermal menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT).

Advanced primary peritoneal carcinoma： clinicopathological and prognostic factor analyses

Objective: To investigate the factors favoring a positive prognosis for advanced primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC). Methods: Twenty-four cases meeting the criteria for PPC were analyzed retrospectively for the clinicopathologic profiles. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expressions of p53, Top2α, Ki-67 and Her-2/neu. Then all these clinicopathological factors and molecular markers were correlated with the prognosis. Results: There were 15 cases of primary peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma (PPSPC), 6 cases of mixed epithelial carcinoma (MEC) and 3 cases of malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT). All patients underwent cytoreductive surgery with optimal debulking achieved in 3 cases. Among those receiving first-line chemotherapy, 13 patients received the TP regimen (paclitaxel-cisplatin or carboplatin) and 7 patients received the PAC regimen (cisplatin-doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide). The median overall survival of all patients was 42 months, while the breakdown for survival time for patients with PPSPC, MMT and MEC was 44, 13 and 19 months, respectively. The expressions of p53, Top2a and Ki-67 were all demonstrated in 11 cases respectively. None showed the expression of Her-2/neu. There were significant differences in the median survival between patients with PPSPC and those with MMMT (44 months vs 13 months, P<0.05), also between patients receiving TP combination and those receiving the PAC regimen (75 months vs 28 months, P<0.05). Another significant difference in the median progression-free survival (PFS) was identified between patients with positive p53 immunostaining and those with negative p53 immunostaining (15 months vs 47 months, P<0.05), whereas age, menopausal status, residual tumor size and the other molecular factors did not significantly impact survival. Conclusion: Patients with PPC should be treated with a comprehensive management plan including appropriate cytoreductive surgery and responsive chemotherapy. Overestimating an optimal debulking surgery may not benefit survival. The pathologic subtype, chemotherapy regimen and p53 overexpression were significant prognostic factors.
