RESUMO
Postoperative bleeding is the most frequent serious complications after vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of using urinary balloon catheter to prevent postoperative bleeding after ultrasound-guided VABB. From May 2016 to June 2018, 324 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided VABB were randomized into the study group and control group. In the study group, an urinary balloon catheter was inserted into the excision cavity to prevent bleeding and hematoma. In the control group, compression with thorax pressure bandage was used for hemostasis. Postoperative subcutaneous ecchymosis and hematoma were recorded and compared between the two groups. The rates of postoperative ecchymosis and hematoma in the study group were significantly lower than that in the control group (5.6% vs 13.0%, P < .05; 8.0% vs 20.4%, P < .05). Among patients with lesions ≤1.5 cm, the rates of postoperative ecchymosis and hematoma were 2.9% and 4.3% in the study group, 6.5% and 11.7% in the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > .05). Among patients with lesions >1.5 cm, the rates of postoperative ecchymosis and hematoma in the study group were significantly lower than that in the control group (7.6% vs 18.8%, P < .05; 10.9% vs 28.2%, P < .05). Hemostasis with balloon urinary catheter is a safe and effective method to prevent postoperative bleeding after VABB.

Mammary ductoscopy (MD) is commonly used to detect intraductal lesions associated with nipple discharge. This study investigated the relationships between ductoscopic image-based indicators and breast cancer risk, and developed a nomogram for evaluating breast cancer risk in intraductal neoplasms with nipple discharge. A total of 879 consecutive inpatients (916 breasts) with nipple discharge who underwent selective duct excision for intraductal neoplasms detected by MD from June 2008 to April 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. A nomogram was developed using a multivariate logistic regression model based on data from a training set (687 cases) and validated in an independent validation set (229 cases). A Youden-derived cut-off value was assigned to the nomogram for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Color of discharge, location, appearance, and surface of neoplasm, and morphology of ductal wall were independent predictors for breast cancer in multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram based on these predictors performed well. The P value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for the prediction model was 0.36. Area under the curve values of 0.812 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.763-0.860) and 0.738 (95 % CI 0.635-0.841) was obtained in the training and validation sets, respectively. The accuracies of the nomogram for breast cancer diagnosis were 71.2 % in the training set and 75.5 % in the validation set. We developed a nomogram for evaluating breast cancer risk in intraductal neoplasms with nipple discharge based on MD image findings. This model may aid individual risk assessment and guide treatment in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore the prognostic value of Septin9 DNA methylation in breast cancer. METHODS: Breast cancer patients with and without recurrence or metastasis and matched non-breast cancer patients were screened retrospectively from 2014 to 2016. Bisulfite conversion and fluorescence quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the Septin9 methylation status and distribution levels in patient breast tissues. RESULTS: Septin9 DNA methylation was more frequent in breast cancer tissues than in non-breast cancer tissues, but was not significantly correlated with any relevant breast cancer patient clinicopathological characteristic. Septin9 methylation rates were higher in patients with recurrence or metastasis. Septin9 methylation, tumor size, lymph node status, and progesterone receptor (PR) expression could influence prognosis. Septin9 methylation was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival in breast cancer patients, with receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicating that it had good prognostic ability, with an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.719. The AUC values increased when Septin9 methylation was combined with tumor size, lymph node status, and PR to predict prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Septin9 DNA methylation was an independent predictors of breast cancer prognostic risk. This could possibly help improve comprehensive prognosis prediction methods when combined with other risk factors.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a bioluminescent MDA-MB-231 cell line which can stably express luciferase and green fluorescent protein to allow bioluminescent imaging in nude mouse models bearing human triple-negative breast cancer xenografts. METHODS: The lentivirus carrying luc2, eGFP and neo fusion genes were packaged in 293T cells via calcium phosphate co-precipitation. Human triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was infected by the lentivirus, and the positive cell clones were tested for eGFP and luc2 expressions by fluorescence microscopy and Xenogen IVIS200 bioluminescent imaging system, respectively. MTT assay, transwell invasion assay and wound healing assay were performed to evaluate the changes in the proliferation, invasion and migration abilities of the infected cells. The cells were then orthotopically implanted into the right second mammary fat pat of female BALB/c nude mice. The tumor growth was monitored by the in vivo imaging system every week, and the tumor tissues were harvested to evaluate the in vivo stability and tumorigenicity of the modified cells using cryosection and HE staining. RESULTS: The lentivirus-infected MDA-MB-231cells could stably express luc2 and eGFP, and the luciferase activity reached 9689 phontons/s/per cell. No significant changes occurred in the biological activities of the lentivirus-infected MDA-MB-231 cells. We successfully established the nude mouse model bearing orthotopically implanted human triple-negative breast cancer cells. CONCLUSION: The modified MDA-MB-231 cell line can be detected sensitively at the primary implantation site and distant metastasis site in nude mice, which provides a convenient and sensitive platform for the research of metastatic mechanism and new antitumor drugs of human triple-negative breast cancer. The combination of eGFP and luc2 is superior to single reporter gene.
