全身运动质量评估指导高危儿早期干预的研究

目的 通过比较全身运动(GMs)评估正常的高危儿单纯家庭康复训练与家庭康复训练联合药物干预的预后,分析GMs对高危儿早期干预的指导意义。方法 选取2016年2月-2017年2月于潍坊市妇幼保健院康复科就诊并接受GMs评估正常的183例高危儿,随机分组为观察组和对照组,观察组为单纯家庭康复训练组89例,对照组为家庭康复训练联合药物干预组94例。采用Peabody运动发育量表对两组患儿分别于纠正月龄6、9、12个月龄进行评估,对Peabody运动发育量表中各指标应用SPSS 21.0进行统计分析。结果 干预后,纠正月龄6、9、12个月龄时,观察组和对照组Peabody运动发育量表中粗大运动商(GMQ)、精细运动商(FMQ)、总运动商(TMQ)比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),重复测量方差分析发现观察组和对照组的GMQ、FMQ、TMQ评分的组间效应差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),时间效应差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),干预因素与时间因素不存在交互作用(P>0.05)。结论 GMs评估对高危儿早期干预具有指导意义。GMs评估正常者,家庭康复训练可达到促进高危儿运动功能发育的目的 ,避免仅因系高危儿而采取“过度干预”。

Care of Seniors with Breast Cancer – Treatment Received and Refining Decision Making

AimsTreatment decisions for older patients with breast cancer are complex and evidence is largely extrapolated from younger populations. Frailty and comorbidity need to be considered. We studied the baseline characteristics and treatment decisions in older patients in Christchurch with breast cancer and assessed survival outcomes and prognostic/discriminatory performance of several tools.Materials and methodsWe searched the Canterbury Breast Cancer Registry and identified patients aged 70 years or older at diagnosis with invasive, non-metastatic breast cancer between 1 June 2009 and 30 June 2015. We retrieved demographics, treatment and outcome information. Overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival were estimated. Tools analysing performance status and comorbidity were assessed for their prognostic and discriminatory power.ResultsIn total, 440 patients were identified. Primary surgery was carried out for 362 patients (82.3%): breast-conserving surgery in 114 (of whom 88.6% received radiation therapy); mastectomy in 248 (of whom 24.6% received radiation). Hormone therapy was given for 265 (71.1%) patients with oestrogen receptor-positive cancers. Two hundred and seventy-four (62.3%) patients received full standard treatment, which was associated with significantly improved 5-year survival and 5-year breast cancer-specific survival. The median estimated overall survival was 8.2 years (95% confidence interval 7.3–9.1 years). Of those who died, 71.3% of deaths were due to causes other than breast cancer or unknown causes. The comorbidity-adjusted life expectancy (CALE) showed partial prognostic accuracy. CALE, Charlson and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group tools all showed discriminatory value.ConclusionIn this population-based series of older patients with breast cancer, showing high levels of primary and adjuvant treatment, patients were more likely to die of causes other than breast cancer. Performance status and comorbidity tools showed prognostic and discriminatory potential in this population supporting their use in treatment decision making. CALE showed the most potential to improve treatment decisions but requires validation in this population to improve prognostic accuracy.     

基于生物信息学筛选早发性乳腺癌差异表达基因

目的筛选并分析与早发性乳腺癌发生、发展相关的靶基因。 方法(1)在美国国立生物技术信息中心的公共基因芯片数据库(GEO)中检索早发性乳腺癌样本及非早发性乳腺癌样本相关基因芯片数据。对上述数据使用GEO2R、R4.1.2及Venn软件筛选出相关差异表达基因(DEGs)，并运用在线分析工具(Web Gestalt)对DEGs，进行相关功能和信号通路富集分析。(2)同时，通过String在线数据库构建DEGs编码的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(PPI)网络，并利用Cytohubba插件对该网络中的基因进行评分，筛选出枢纽基因。将枢纽基因导入Kaplan-Meier生存分析工具(Kaplan-Meier Plotter)，评估枢纽基因在早发性乳腺癌的预后价值。(3)将肿瘤基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库中的肿瘤组织以年龄为标准进行分组，分析枢纽基因在各年龄组中的表达，并与正常组织中的表达进行比较，对得到的枢纽基因进行验证。DEGs表达量的多组间比较使用Kruskal-Wallis H检验，使用Bonferroni法进行两两比较。 结果(1)筛选出编号为GSE89116、GSE109169、GSE36295的基因芯片数据集，共得到80个差异表达基因，其中上调差异表达基因17个，下调差异表达基因63个。富集分析显示：DEGs主要富集在脂质代谢和氧化还原过程以及PPAR信号通路、AMPK信号通路上。(2)在PPI中发现主要的关键基因为PPARG、ADIPOQ、LIPE、PCK1、PDK4、ACACB、PLIN1、CAV1、CD36、ANGPTL4。ACACB、ADIPOQ、CAV1、LIPE、PLIN1、PPARG基因的低表达与乳腺癌患者的不良OS相关(HR＝0.69、0.84、0.76、0.88、0.78、0.82；95%CI：0.59~0.80、0.76~0.93、0.67~0.83、0.79~0.97、0.70~0.86、0.73~0.90；P均<0.050)。(3)ACACB、ADIPOQ、LIPE、PLIN1、CAV1及PPARG这6个与预后相关的基因在正常组织中的表达量均远高于各年龄组肿瘤组织中的表达量(χ²＝104.03、179.57、161.85、189.87、118.56、103.62，P均<0.001)，早发性乳腺癌组(21~40岁)的LIPE、PLIN1表达量低于41~60岁、61~80岁年龄组，差异具有统计学意义(LIPE: Z＝21.07、23.12, P均<0.050; PLIN1：Z＝16.89、18.76, P均<0.050)。 结论早发性乳腺癌与非早发性乳腺癌存在差异基因表达谱，LIPE、PLIN1可能是早发性乳腺癌发生、发展的关键基因。

Development of a Simulation-Based Mastery Learning Curriculum for Breaking Bad News

Introduction

Physician communication impacts patient outcomes. However, communication skills, especially around difficult conversations, remain suboptimal, and there is no clear way to determine the validity of entrustment decisions. The aims of this study were to 1) describe the development of a simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) curriculum for breaking bad news (BBN) conversation skills and 2) set a defensible minimum passing standard (MPS) to ensure uniform skill acquisition among learners.

Assessment of the uterine dose in digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis

IntroductionDigital Mammography (DM-2D) and more recently Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), are two of the most effective imaging modalities for breast cancer detection, often used in screening programmes. It may happen that exams using these two imaging modalities are inadvertently performed to pregnant women. The objective of this study is to assess the dose in the uterus due to DM-2D and DBT exams, according to two main irradiation scenarios: in the 1st scenario the exposure parameters were pre-selected directly by the imaging system, while in the 2nd scenario, the maximum exposure parameters were chosen.MethodsThe mammography equipment used was a Siemens Mammomat Inspiration. A physical anthropomorphic phantom, PMMA plates (simulating a breast thickness of 6 cm) and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to measure entrance air kerma values on the phantom's breast and abdomen in order to successively estimate the mean glandular dose (MGD) and the dose in the uterus. For the two irradiation scenarios chosen, two-breast imaging modalities were selected: 1) DBT in Cranio-Caudal (CC) view (with 28 kV and 160 mAs as exposure parameters), 2) DBT and DM in Medio Lateral-Oblique (MLO) and CC views (with 34 kV and 250 mAs as exposure parameters).ResultsIn the 1st scenario, the TLD measurements did not detect significant dose values in the abdomen whereas the MGD estimated using the D.R. Dance model was in close agreement with data available in the literature. In the 2nd scenario, there was no significant difference in MGD estimation between the different views, whereas the air kerma values in the abdomen (in DBT mode, CC and MLO) were 0.049 mGy and 0.004 mGy respectively. In CC DM-2D mode the abdomen air kerma value was 0.026 mGy, with no significant detected value in MLO view.ConclusionsFor the dose in the uterus, the obtained values seem to indicate that DM-2D and DBT examinations inadvertently performed during pregnancy do not pose a significant radiological risk, even considering the case of overexposure in both breasts.Implications for practiceThe accurate knowledge of the doses in DM-2D and DBT will contribute to raise the awareness among medical practitioners involved in breast imaging empowering them to provide accurate information about dose levels in the uterus, improving their radiation risk communication skills and consequently helping to reduce the anxiety of pregnant women undergoing this type of examinations.
