Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of Ru'ai Shuhou recipe for the prevention of lung metastases from breast cancer: a retrospective study based on propensity score matching.

Background: Breast cancer lung metastasis occurs at a high rate and at an early stage, and is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Ru'ai Shuhou Recipe (RSR) intervention on the occurrence of recurrent metastases, especially lung metastases, in postoperative patients with breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was implemented at Shuguang Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China between January 2014 to January 2019.

Construction of a Multi-Indicator Model for Abscess Prediction in Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis Using Inflammatory Indicators.

Background: Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a chronic inflammatory breast disease, and abscess formation is a common complication of GLM. The process of abscess formation is accompanied by changes in multiple inflammatory markers. The present study aimed to construct a diagnosis model for the early of GLM abscess formation based on multiple inflammatory parameters.

Diabetic mastopathy in an elderly woman misdiagnosed as breast cancer: A case report and review of the literature.

Background: Diabetic mastopathy is a rare benign disease in clinical practice that mainly occurs in young and middle-aged women with type 1 diabetes. It has also been reported that this disease can be found in patients with type 2 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, as well as in men. The pathogenesis of diabetic mastopathy is not yet clear, and it is easily confused with breast cancer due to their similar clinical manifestations and imaging features.

[Relationship Between Seedling Grade of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Plant Biomass Accumulation, Yield and Quality of Product].

Objective: To research the relationship between the seedling grade of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and the biomass accumulation, yield and quality of product, so as to provide basis for establishing seedling standard.

Methods: The weight of single seedling root was measured and the seedlings were divided into three grades by the clustering analysis. The different grade treatments of seedlings were made to conduct field trials and laboratory experiments.

A fluoride-sensing receptor based on 2,2'-bis(indolyl)methane by dual-function of colorimetry and fluorescence.

A compound based on 2,2'-bis(indolyl)methane containing nitro group was studied as a new anion receptor. It could recognize selectively F(-) by an increasing fluorescence signal and a visible color change from colorless to blue. The introduction of nitro group induced the spectral dual-function related to the deprotonation of N-H protons.

[Effects of ru'ai shuhou recipe on the matrix metalloproteinases and the inhibitive factors in the recurrence and metastasis of HER2 positive breast cancer].

Objective: To observe the anti-tumor recurrent and metastatic efficacy of Ru'ai Shuhou Recipe (RSR) on HER2 positive breast cancer, to evaluate the effects of RSR on the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in the recurrence and metastasis of HER2 positive breast cancer, thus revealing its anti-tumor recurrent and metastatic mechanisms.

Methods: Selected were 30-week-old HER2/neu transgenic spontaneous breast cancer mice FVB/neu. The primary tumor resection was carried out.

Fingerprint quality control of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with discriminant analysis.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed in the fingerprint analysis of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels. A chromatographic profile of A.
