Osterix transcriptional factor is involved in the metastasis of human breast cancers.

The transcriptional factor Osterix is specifically expressed in bone tissues to regulate the differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts. Recent studies have also identified the expression of Osterix in a number of cancer tissues, such as kidney and lung cancers. However, the association of Osterix with the metastasis of breast cancers has never been reported.

Risk assessment of breast cancer in Guangdong, China: a community-based survey.

Objectives: Compared with Western countries, the incidence rates for breast cancer in China are still low. However, breast cancer appears to be hitting Chinese women at a much younger age, with a peak between 40 and 50 years. Furthermore, breast tumors of Asian women have molecular and genetic characteristics that are different from those of Caucasian women.

[Expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 in breast cancer and the significance thereof: analysis of 910 cases].

Objective: To investigate the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer, and to explore their correlation with the age of patient, and size, clinic stage, and lymph node metastasis of the tumor.

Methods: The data of 910 breast cancer, 89.4% of invasive ductal carcinoma, 1.

[Endovascular stent-graft exclusion on aortic dissection and dissecting aneurysm].

Objective: To study the techniques and therapeutic effects of endovascular stent-graft exclusion in aortic dissection and dissecting aneurysm.

Methods: The clinical data of 20 cases with aortic dissection and(or) dissecting aneurysm were analysed. Stanford A dissection was found in 2 cases, in which one had a tear entry on ascending aorta.
