Prognostic significance of NANOG and KLF4 for breast cancer.

Background: Some of the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell)-inducing factors have been reported to be expressed in breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between the expression of iPS cell-inducing factors and the prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Methods: In 100 breast cancer patients, the expression of c-MYC, KLF4, NANOG, OCT4, and SOX2 was determined by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray analysis.

An exploration of patients' understanding of leg ulceration.

Objective: This study aimed to identify patients' understanding of leg ulceration by examining their knowledge of the disease process and their expectations of their treatment outcomes. It also aimed to identify their attitudes to any patient information provided to them.

Method: A total of 101 patients (median age: 75 years, range: 23-91; 54% female) with current leg ulceration of 16 months' median duration (range: 1-480) were asked about their understanding of their condition and treatment and their expectations of patient information provided by health-care professionals.
