Aims: To determine the clinical, pathological and prognostic features associated with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: Clinical and histologic data of 21,749 breast cancer patients who were treated at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between July 2002 and December 2011 were collected. Patients were divided into two groups: those with TNBC and those with other types of breast cancer. Patients and tumor characteristics were compared between the two groups using the Chi-square test. The prognostic results of 9,823 patients in the study population were also analyzed to determine long-term survival rates in the two groups of breast cancer patients. Results: Among the breast cancer patients treated in our hospital between 2003 and 2011, 10.4%-13.5% of them had triple-negative breast cancers. Data analyses revealed significant differences in disease onset age, family history of breast cancer, tumor size, tumor histologic grade, lymph note positivity and metastatic status between TNBC and non-TNBC patients. There were also significant differences in 5-year, 7-year and 9-year disease-free and 7-year and 9-year overall survival probability between the groups. Conclusions:TNBC are associated with younger disease onset age, larger tumor size, higher rate of axillary lymph node positivity, and higher tumor histologic grade. TNBC is also related to family history of breast cancer, increased metastatic risk and poor prognosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on self-esteem and emotion of an improved self-appearance image among the female psychiatric patients, and the therapeutic effect of fashion therapy. The treatment intervention was provided for 37 psychiatric patients and the data of 17 participants was analyzed. The results were as follows: 1. The actual self-appearance image improved overall and all factors. Their expectation for the‘attractive’image was heightened. Their self-esteem was improved and negative emotions were reduced overall and depression. 2. The changes of the actual self-appearance had a positive correlation with self-esteem. and a negative correlation with negative emotion overall, especially anxiety, depression. Improvement of ‘attractive’image had the most correlation. 3. The changes of the ideal self-appearance image didn't have the correlation with self-esteem, but negative correlation with emotions overall and anxiety, depression and hostility. 4. The change in the incongruity of their ideal and actual self-appearance image overall had a negative correlation with the change of self-esteem and positive correlation with negative emotion, especially depression and hostility.

The effect of treatment with Citrus junos fractions (citron 3W, citron 3H, citron 4W and citron 4H) upon rat hepatocytes exposed to alcohol was investigated. We compared the serum biochemistry of rats administered both alcohol and Citrus junos fractions to control rats treated with alcohol alone. The effects of Alanine amino transferase (ALT) were significantly lower in the citron 3H extract group compared with the negative control group (p<0.05) and other experimental groups were not significantly low but a little low compared to negative control group. The levels of triglyceride (TG) were significantly low in all experimental groups compared with negative control group. Especially triglyceride level of citron 3H was lowest near to normal control group. The concentration of total cholesterol was significantly high in negative groups compared with normal control group but in all experimental groups, the concentration of total cholesterol was similar to that of negative control group. Total cholesterol of the citron 4W group was somewhat low compared with negative control group. In contrast, activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) were significantly higher in all experimental groups compared with the negative control (p<0.05) group. These data suggest that Citrus junos fractions may represents an excellent candidate for protection of rat hepatocytes from alcohol-mediated damage.

1980년 1월부터 1988년 9월사이에 연세대학병원, 연세암센터 치료방사선과 및 이비인후과에서 치료받았던 68예의 T3, T4병기의 성문암 환자를 대상으로 후향적분석을 하였다. 이 중 34명은 방사선 치료 단독으로 치료하였고 34명은 성문절제술후 방사선치료를 하였으며 이들 환자의 최소 추적기간은 2년이었고 54명 $(79\%)$에서 5년 추적조사가 가능하였다. 치료후 국소관해율은 방사선치료 단독군에서는 $51\%$, 수술 및 수술후 방사선치료군에서는 $79\%$이었고 임파절 음성군에서는$72\%,\;76\%$였으며 임파절 양성군에서는$31\%,\;81\%$이었다. 이들의 치료실패요인은 대부분 국소 국한적 이었고 30명 $(44\%)$에서 관찰되었다. 치료에 따른 5년 생존율은 방사선치료 단독군에서는 $37\%$, 수술 및 수술후 방사선치료군에서는 $76\%$로서 T3, T5병기의 성문암환자에 있어서 수술시 행후 방사선치료를 병용하는 복합요법 이 더 좋은 치료결과를 얻을 수 있음을 알았다. 그러나 임파절 음성군에서는 방사선치료 단독군과 수술 및 수술 후 방사선치료군을 비교해 본 결과 5년 생존율이 $55\%$와 $73\%$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 따라서 본 저자들은 T3, T4병기의 성문암치료시 수술 및 방사선치료 병용요법이 더 좋은 치료결과 를 얻을 수 있지만 임파절 음성군에서는 기능적인 보존측면에서 방사선치료가 일차적 차료방법으로서 효과적이리라 사료된다.

Objectives: To compare the clinicalpathological features and prognosis between premenopausal breast cancer patients aged of <35 and ${\geq}35$ years old. Methods: The clinical data and survival status of 1498 cases premenopausal operable breast cancer treated in our hospital from 2002.1 to 2004. 12 were collected, 118 cases were aged <35. They were divided into 4 groups: Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-positive, Triple-negative. The disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were identified. Results: The 5-year DFS and OS rates were significantly lower in age<35 than in $age{\geq}35$ patients. In the Luminal B, HER2-positive, Triple-negative group, the 5-year recurrence risk was higher in age<35 than in $age{\geq}35$ patients, and age<35 patients' 5-year death risk was higher only in Luminal B, Triple-negative group. Regardless of whether lymph node involved, age<35 patients had a bad prognosis in both DFS and OS. Conclusions: Compared with premenopausal age ${\geq}35$ breast cancer, age<35 patients had a worse outcome.

Background: Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare and frequently misdiagnosed. The standard therapeutic approach has been radical inguinal orchiectomy with wide local resection of surrounding soft tissues. The current trend of organ preservation in the treatment of several cancers has started to evolve. Herein we present our testis-sparing surgery experience in the treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma and a pooled analysis on this topic. Materials and Methods: Clinical information from patient receiving organ-sparing surgery was described. Clinical studies evaluating this issue were identified by using a predefined search strategy, e.g., Pubmed database with no restriction on date of published papers. The literature search used the following terms: epidemiology, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, testis sparing surgery, spermatic cord sarcomas/liposarcomas. Results: Patient received a complete excision of the lesion, preserving the spermatic cord and the testis. The final pathological report showed a well differentiated liposarcoma with negative surgical margins and no signs of local invasion. After 2-year of follow-up, there was no evidence of local recurrence. Since the first case reported in 1952, a total of about 200 well-documented spermatic cord liposarcoma cases have been published in English literature. Among these patients, only three instances were reported to have received an organ-sparing surgery in the treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma. Conclusions: Radical inguinal orchiectomy and resection of the tumor with a negative microscopic margin is the recommended treatment for liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. But for small, especially well-differentiated, lesions, testis-sparing surgery might be a good option if an adequate negative surgical margin is assured.

High producers or blocked mutants of aminoglycoside antibiotic-producing Streptomyces spp. were selected by application of an agar plug method and by culturing individual colonies in broth. The productivities of aminoglycoside antibiotic producing organisms were increased by selection of a high producer from colonies obtained by spreading spores of wild strain, or survived from treatment of a mutagen or from the colonies regenerated from protoplast-formation and cell-wall regenerations. Some mutagen treated colonies lost the ability to produce antibiotics (5-8%). Some A-factor negative and deostreptamine or streptidine negative mutants were obtained by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosomethylguanidine (MNNG) treatment. Many of the survivors from the MNNG treatment lost the ability to produce antibiotics. Major colonies produced less amount of antibiotics ; only few survived colonies produced more antibiotics than the parent. Resistance of Streptomyces spp. against the antibiotics produced by itself was also markedly affected by mutagen treatment.

The objective of this study was to increased breeding area in same size pig pen and growth performance of weaning pigs. A total of 330 crossbred ($6.68{\pm}0.36kg$) weaning pigs were subjected to a 42-day feeding trial(3 pens/treatment) in which effects of the semi-floor were compared : NC; Negative control ($0.23m^2/pig$; 40 pigs/pen), PC; Positive control($0.30m^2/pig$; 30 pigs/pen) and Semi-floor($0.30m^2/pig$; 40 pigs/pen). There was a significant effect on BW at 6 week along all treatment(P<0.01). There was a effect of Semi-floor treatment on ADG(average daily gain) only during the first 3 week after weaning(P<0.01). No significant effect was observed in the ADFI during the experiment period. NC treatment had significantly lower BUN value than other treatments(P<0.05). The results from immune and stress response with semi-floor suggest that no negative effects in their blood analysis. Consequently, semi floor treatments increased additional breeding area and also growth performance rather than other treatments in weaning pigs.
