ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the expression of Survivin and Caspase-9 gene in Uygur breast cancer pa-tients with different HER-2 phenotypes,to find out the difference and association of the two genes and to find out the potential roles of the two genes breast cancer pathogenesis. Methods We selected 72 Uygur patients diag-nosed as breast cancer initially and they were divided into group A with HER-2 positive(n = 39)and group B with HER-2 negative(n = 33). Another 40 Uygur patients with benign breast were involved as the controls. Immunohis-tochemistry and real-time RT-PCR were used to detect the two genes,and analyze the differences and association of each gene between the groups. Results (1)The expression of Survivin gene in group A and B were higher than that in the control group. Further analysis showed that the expression of Survivin gene was enhanced in group A when compared with that in group B(P < 0.05);while even the expression of Survivin gene in group B was higher than that in the control group but no statistical difference was found(P > 0.05).(2)The expression of Caspase-9 gene in group A and B were lower than that in the control group. Real-time RT-PCR showed that the expression of Caspase-9 gene of group A was decreased when compared with that in group B(P < 0.05);While the expression of Caspase-9 gene of group B was slightly lower that of the control group but it showed no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed there were no statistical differences of expression of Caspase- 9 gene in group A and B and control group(all P > 0.05). The expression of Survivin and Caspase-9 gene was nega-tively associated in group A and B(P < 0.01;P < 0.05). Conclusions In Uygur patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer,the expression of Survivin gene is enhanced but that of caspase-9 gene is decreased,and they are negatively associated. Through inhabiting caspase-9 gene,Survivin gene may potentially lead to the occurrence of HER-2 positive breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze and discuss the influence of medical ethics on the quality of life and treatment compliance for breast cancer patients in clinical application, and to expound the positivehidden value of medical ethics to dealing with the doctor-patient relationship. Methods:176 cases of breast cancer patients in a hospital from December, 2012 to December, 2014 were selected to participate in this study. They were divided into experi-mental group (n=88) and control group (n=88) using the sequence number. The subjects in control group were treated according to the NCCN guidelines for breast cancer, while the experimental group was treated with medical ethics on the basis of the routine methods. The effect and safety were explored. Result:In evaluation of the quality of life, it was found that the excellent rate of patients in the experimental group was significantly higher than those in the control group (89. 8% vs. 68. 2%, P<0. 05). The incidence of complications in the study group was sig-nificantly lower than the control group ( P<0 . 05 ) . The complication incidence in the experimental group was sig-nificantly lower than that of the control group (73. 9% vs. 96. 6%,P<0. 05). Conclusion:Medical ethics has a great influence on the quality of life and treatment compliance for breast cancer patients, and its application has a positive indirect and clinical utility.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical benefits and safety of endoscopic thyroidectomy via bilat -eral-nipple approach and breast approach by comparison with conventional open thyroidectomy .Methods 59 pa-tients undergoing open thyroidectomy , 76 patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast approach , and 122 patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy via bilateral-nipple approach were retrospectively analyzed . Patients'age, operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, the first day drainage volume after operation , postop-erative hospital stay , the incidence of complications , pain visual analogue score ( VAS) , postoperative satisfaction rate as well as the evaluation of cosmetic results were compared among different groups .Results No significant difference was observed in the intraoperative blood loss and the postoperative hospital stay among different groups . The operation duration and the first day drainage volume after operation in the endoscopic thyroidectomy groups ((103.5 ±26.2)min vs (108.1 ±23.9)min,(106.5 ±31.0)ml vs (117.4 ±38.8)ml)were significantly high-er than those in the open thyroidectomy group((65.3 ±22.4)min and (50.5 ±23.8)ml)(P<0.05, respective-ly).No significant difference was observed in the complication incidence among different groups .On the first day after operation, VAS of the endoscopic thyroidectomy groups (2.8 ±0.4 vs 2.9 ±0.4)was significantly lower than that of the open thyroidectomy group(3.8 ±0.6)(P<0.05, respectively), even though on the second and the third day no significant difference was observed among different groups .Besides, postoperative satisfaction rate and the evaluation of cosmetic results in endoscopic thyroidectomy groups were significantly higher than those in the open group(P<0.05, respectively).Furthermore, 90 days after operation, the satisfaction rate and the eval-uation of cosmetic results in the endoscopic thyroidectomy group through bilateral -nipple approach (96.7%,8.8 ± 0.9)were significantly higher than those in the endoscopic thyroidectomy group through breast approach (92.1%, 7.3 ±0.7)(P<0.05, respectively).Conclusions Endoscopic thyroidectomy is a feasible and safe procedure . Endoscopic thyroidectomy through bilateral-nipple approach has a higher long-term satisfaction rate as well as bet-ter cosmetic results , which is an ideal choice of thyroidectomy .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of gene NDRG2 (N-myc downstream regulated gene 2) transfection on the proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer cell. Methods Bcap37 cell line expressing low level product encoded by NDRG2 gene is transfected with recombinating adenovirus expressing high level NDRG2 gene product to improve NDRG2 gene expression level. NDRG2 expression was detected by Western blot and the proliferation activity of the cell lines was detected by MTT and flow cytometry. Results High level expression of NDRG2 inhibits cells growth and results in G_1 phase arrest in Bcap37 cell line. Compared with non-transfected Bcap37 cells and Bcap37 cells transfected by empty vector, apoptosis cells obviously increase in Bcap37 cell line transfected by recombinating adenovirus expressing high level NDRG2 gene, 12% after 48 hours and 21. 5% after 72 hours. Conclusion Overexpres-sion of NDRG2 in Bcap37 cells effectively inhibites cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
