Objective To detect the expressions of osteopontin （OPN）， breast tumor kinase （Brk）， and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） in the breast cancer tissue， the adjacent （2cm） normal breast tissue， and the distal（＞5cm） normal breast tissue， and analyze their clinical significances. Method The immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of OPN， Brk， and VEGF in the breast cancer tissue， the adjacent （2cm） normal breast tissue， and the distal （＞5cm） normal breast tissue from 40 cases of breast cancer. Results ① The expressions of OPN，Brk， and VEGF in the breast cancer tissue were significantly higher than those of the adjacent （2cm） normal breast tissue and the distal （＞5cm） normal breast tissue （P＜0.01）， the expression of Brk in the adjacent （2cm） normal breast tissue was significantly higher than that of the distal （＞5 cm） normal breast tissue （P＜0.05）. ② In the breast cancer tissue， the OPN and Brk protein expressions were not associated with age， tumor diameter， and histological grade （P＞0.05），were associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage （P＜0.05）. The VEGF protein expression was not associated with age and tumor diameter （P＞0.05）， but was associated with histological grade， lymph node metastasis， and TNM staging （P＜0.05）. ③ In the breast cancer tissue， OPN， Brk， and VEGF had positive correlation with each other （P＜0.05）， but not in the adjacent （2cm） normal breast tissue and the distal （＞5 cm） normal breast tissue （P＞0.05）. Conclusions The expressions of OPN and Brk from the same signal pathway increase by turns in the distal （＞5 cm） normal breast tissue， adjacent （2cm） normal breast tissue， and breast cancer tissue. OPN induced the adhesion and migration of endothelial cells to accelerate vascular repair through VEGF and Brk has correlation with the progress of tumor invasion and metastasis through participating in tumor vascularization.
Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and occurrence of breast cancer, and relationship between serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients. Methods Clinical data of 788 patients with breast cancer and 395 patients with benign breast disease were retrospectively collected, who received treatment in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2014 to March 2016, and to explore the relationship between levels of total cholesterol (TC)/triglyceride (TG)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c)/low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and occurrence of breast cancer/ clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients. Results ① Influencing factors that affected the occurrence of breast cancer: multifactor logistic analysis showed that, height (OR=0.950, P=0.006), body mass index (OR=1.062, P=0.041), and serum LDL-c level (OR=1.349, P=0.016) were independent influencing factors for occurrence of breast cancer, people had high body mass index and higher level of serum LDL-c had high risk of breast cancer, but people had high height had low risk of breast cancer. ②Association analysis of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients: the serum TC level was correlated with expression of progesteronereceptors (PR) and lymph node metastasis status (P<0.05), the serum TC levels of patients with negative-expression of PR and lymph node metastasis were slightly higher than that of patients with positive-expression of PR and non-lymph node metastasis; the serum TG level was associated with body mass index (P<0.05), that the serum TG level of patients with body mass index≥25 kg/m2was slightly higher than that of patients with body mass index<25 kg/m2; the serum HDL-c level was correlated with the body mass index and diameter of the tumor (P<0.05), the serum HDL-c level of the patients with body mass index≥25 kg/m2 was slightly lower than that of patients with body mass index<25 kg/m2, the serum HDL-c level of patients with the tumor diameter≤2 cm was slightly higher than that of patients with the tumor diameter >2 cm; the serum LDL-c level was correlated with body mass index, expression of estrogenreceptors (ER) and PR, and molecular typing ( P<0.05), the serum LDL-c level was slightly higher in patients with body mass index≥25 kg/m2, negative expression of ER and PR, and non Luminal type patients, comparing with patients with body mass index<25 kg/m2, positive expression of ER and PR, and Luminal type patients. Conclusions High level of serum LDL-c is strongly associated with occurrence of breast cancer, and levels of serum lipid and lipoprotein are associated with expression of hormone receptor, molecular type of breast cancer, and status of lymph node, but it needs further randomized controlled studies to confirm.

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare mastitis disease, which mainly occurs in childbearing period. The etiology, diagnosis and treatment of GLM are still disputed. In recent years, the role of Corynebacterium infection in the pathogenesis of GLM has attracted more and more attention. Cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis (CNGM) has been proposed, and more and more studies have targeted CNGM as a unique subtype of GLM. This article summarizes the published literature on CNGM so far to discuss the research progress in clinicopathological features, microbiological findings, clinical diagnosis and treatment of CNGM.
【摘要】目的探討乳腺癌仿根治術中保留肋間臂神經（ICBN）的臨床意義。方法將184例Ⅰ～Ⅲ期乳腺癌患者隨機均分為兩組，實驗組術中保留ICBN； 對照組術中均切除ICBN。并對兩組患者術后進行隨訪觀察。結果兩組乳腺癌切除均行常規仿根治術，手術過程順利，平均手術時間實驗組為（140±10） min，對照組為（130±10） min，實驗組92例術中有80例成功保留ICBN，且患側上肢感覺障礙發生率為6.25%（5/80），對照組發生率為54.3%（50/92），兩組比較差異有顯著性意義（χ2=45.51，P＜0.01），經術后3個月～3年隨訪，上肢感覺障礙實驗組5例中有2例1年后好轉； 對照組50例中1年后好轉6例，兩組腫瘤均無局部復發。結論在乳腺癌仿根治術中保留ICBN可有效地防止患側上肢感覺障礙的發生。
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the three negative breast cancer (TNBC) and analyze their clinicopathologic significances. MethodsOne hundred and twelve patients confirmed TNBC from January 2008 to January 2013 in this hospital were collected. The cases of luminal type with the similar pathological type and pathological staging were chosen as control. The expressions of MMP-3 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results①The positive expression rates of MMP-3 and VEGF in the TNBC tissues were significantly higher than those in the luminal tissues[MMP-3:90.18%(101/112) versus 49.11%(55/112), P < 0.05;VEGF:84.82%(95/112) versus 48.21%(54/112), P < 0.05]. 2 The positive expressions of MMP-3 and VEGF in the TNBC tissues were correlated with age, menopausal status, tumor size, axillary lymph node metastasis, and TNM stage(P < 0.05).③The expression of MMP-3 was positively correlated with VEGF in the TNBC tissues(rs=0.711, P < 0.01).④The results of follow-up showed that the recurrence and metastasis rate within 3 years was 73.21%, the survival rate within 5 years was 36.61% in the patients with TNBC. ConclusionsThere is a close relation between MMP-3 and VEGF in TNBC, the expressions of MMP-3 and VEGF may serve as important biomarkers for evaluating invasion and metastasis in TNBC. There is a higher metastasis rate within 3 years and a lower survival rate within 5 years in TNBC. According to intervening the expressions of MMP-3 and VEGF, and inhibiting cancer cells matrix degradation and vascular formation, then cancer cells metastasis could be blocked, it may be important to reduce the 3-year recurrence rate and improve 5-year survival rate.
