025). Multivariate analysis also indicated a significant difference in BCSS in the ER-positive subgroup (HR 2.60; 95% CI 1.15-5.87; p = 0.021).

This study analyzed a large nationwide and monoethnic cohort and found a significant difference only in BCSS in the ER-positive subgroup according to HER2 status. Anti-HER2 therapy may be considered in HER2-positive and ER-positive patients with small, node-negative breast cancer.

Elevated expression of PAI-1 has been widely linked with adverse outcomes in a variety of human cancers, such as breast, gastric and ovarian cancers, rendering PAI-1 a prognostic biomarker. As a result, several chemical inhibitors are currently being developed against PAI-1; however, the clinical setting where they might confer survival benefits has not yet been elucidated.

RNA sequencing data analysis from the TCGA/GTEx cancer portals (n = 3607 samples). In silico molecular docking analyses to predict functional macromolecule interactions. ER-/PR- (MDA-MB-231) and ER+/PR+ (MCF-7) breast cancer cell lines implemented to assess the effect of oleuropein as a natural inhibitor of PAI-1-mediated oncogenic proliferation.

We show that high PAI-1 levels inversely correlate with ER and PR expressions in a wide panel of estrogen/progesterone-responsive human malignancies. By implementing an in silico molecular docking analysis, we identify oleuropein, a phenolic component of olive oil, as a potent PAI-1-binding ancer, our data identify oleuropein as a natural PAI-1 inhibitor and suggest that oleuropein-mediated PAI-1 destabilisation may confer clinical benefit only in ER-/PR- tumours.

To conduct a prospective randomized controlled study of the optimization of adjuvant therapy in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer, taking into account the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with an assessment of tumor-specific OS and DFS.

Stage 1 Continuous non-randomized prospective study (n = 102) to study the clinical and prognostic value of CTCs and evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant systemic therapy in relation to CTC eradication; Stage 2 Prospective randomized controlled study (n = 128) of optimization of adjuvant therapy taking into account CTCs with an assessment of the effectiveness of the standard therapy and an optimized therapy regimen.

Monitoring of CTCs during adjuvant drug treatment has established that a significant decrease in the frequency of CTC identification can be achieved only by sequential administration of anthracyclines and taxanes (paclitaxel) AC-T, which allows reducing CTCs compared to other regimens from 52.6 to 15.8% (p = 0.006). CTC-oriented personalized adjuvant therapy in the experimental group, based on the timely transition from an ineffective adjuvant chemotherapy regimen to taxanes, as well as additional monochemotherapy with gemcitabine can achieve 100% eradication CTCs. In the adjuvant therapy experimental group taking into account CTCs (n = 68), the OS 5-year tumor-specific rate was 90.3 ± 3.8%, (control group 78.7 ± 3.9%, p = 0.036). DFS tumor-specific in the experimental group was 88.0 ± 4.4%, (control group 80.6 ± 3.3%, p = 0.023).

The use of the method of treatment of CTC-oriented personalized adjuvant therapy for non-metastatic breast cancer makes it possible to reliably increase DFS 5-year by 7.4% and OS 5-year by 11.6%.

Metastatic pattern (MP) is a prognostic factor in women with breast cancer. However, the prognostic significance of MP in male breast cancer patients remains unknown.

Using the SEER database, we gathered demographic information and disease characteristics for men diagnosed with de novo metastatic breast cancer from 2010 to 2017. Metastases to bone, brain, liver, and lung were used to define MP (bone-only, visceral, bone and visceral [BV], or other). Statistical analyses were performed to identify associations between overall survival (OS) and MP, as well as other patient and tumor features. We used multivariate logistic regression to evaluate factors associated with sites of metastases.

We included 250 patients. MP distribution was bone = 38.8%, visceral = 14.8%, BV = 33.2%, and other = 13.2%. Median OS for each was bone = 33months, visceral = 23months, BV = 20months, and other = 46months (p = 0.046). Patients with brain metastases had significantly shorter OS compared with no brain metastases (median OS = 9months vs. 30months; p < 0.001). Compared with other subtypes, triple negative had the shortest OS (median 9months, p < 0.001). Logistic regression modeling revealed that compared with HR+/HER2- breast cancers, HR-/HER2+ had higher odds of liver metastases and triple negative had higher odds of brain metastases. Patients younger than 50years had a significantly greater risk of developing brain metastases.

MP and tumor subtype can predict OS outcomes in men with metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis. Brain metastases confer very poor prognosis.

Results from active surveillance trials for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will not be available for > 10 years. A model based on real-world data (RWD) can demonstrate the comparative impact of non-intervention for women with low-risk features.

Multi-state models were developed using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) data for three treatment strategies (no local treatment, breast conserving surgery [BCS], BCS + radiotherapy [RT]), and for women with DCIS low-risk features. Eligible cases included women aged ≥ 40 years, diagnosed with primary DCIS between 1992 and 2016. Five mutually exclusive health states were modelled DCIS, ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (iIBC) ≤ 5 years and > 5 years post-DCIS diagnosis, contralateral IBC, death preceded by and death not preceded by IBC. Propensity score-weighted Cox models assessed effects of treatment, age, diagnosis year, grade, ER status, and race.

Data on n = 85,982 women were used. Increased risk of iIBC ≤ 5 years post-DCIS wd low-risk features demonstrate minimal differences by treatment strategy in experiencing subsequent breast events. There may be opportunity to de-escalate treatment for certain women with low-risk features Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women aged 50-69 at diagnosis, with ER+, grade 1 + 2, less then 2 cm DCIS lesions.This study conducts an ERP experiment to explore the online processing mechanism of Chinese xiehouyu, a subcategory of Chinese idiomatic expressions with a metaphorical two-part allegorical saying, regarded as a non-literal language construct. Using a 2 × 2 design, (high familiarity (HF)/low familiarity (LF)) × (literally-biasing context (LC)/metaphorically-biasing context (MC)), the researchers have obtained the following findings (1) familiarity plays an important role in Chinese xiehouyu processing, i.e. the metaphorical meaning of a HF Chinese xiehouyu can be directly activated while that of a LF one has to be derived from its literal meaning first; (2) contextual information also weighs in the process, i.e. the metaphorical meaning of a Chinese xiehouyu can be promoted in MC condition but suppressed in LC condition; (3) the interactive effect of familiarity and contextual information can be explained by the career of metaphor hypothesis; and (4) the Standard Pragmatic Model (SPM) of non-literal languages can explain the processing of LF xiehouyu, and the Direct Access Model (DAM) may to some extent account for the mechanism of HF one but fails to explain the case of LF one, while the Graded Salience Hypothesis (GSH) can provide an acceptable explanation for the processing mechanism of Chinese xiehouyus of varied familiarity.The aim of this study was to investigate the process of metaphor comprehension in three different conditions of metaphor-prime, literal-prime, and no-prime. To achieve this objective, three experiments were conducted. In the metaphor-prime condition, each metaphor was preceded by a homo-schematic metaphor prime. Selleck NXY-059 In the literal-prime condition, each metaphor was preceded by a literal prime that provided some information about literal meanings of topic and vehicle of the following metaphor. In the no-prime condition, each metaphor was preceded by no stimulus. In each condition, a group of 20 participants made judgment on the sensibility of 15 metaphors. In Experiment 1, sensibility judgments in the literal-prime and metaphor-prime conditions were compared with each other. In Experiment 2, sensibility judgments in the no-prime and metaphor-prime conditions were compared with each other. In Experiment 3, sensibility judgments in the no-prime and literal-prime conditions were compared with each other. The obtained results indicated that in the metaphor-prime condition, metaphors were judged to have the highest degree of sensibility, and participants were faster in making sensibility judgments. On the other hand, in the literal-prime condition, metaphors were judged to have the lowest degree of sensibility. Therefore, it is suggested that the understanding of a homo-schematic metaphor prime activates an abstract schema. The activation of this schema prepares the ground for the understanding of the following metaphor. When a metaphor prime and its following metaphor share the same schema, the comprehender does not need to re-activate this schema to understand the following metaphor, as this schema has already been activated by metaphor prime.There are currently no studies examining healthcare access and utilization by Syrian Americans. A better understanding of the determinants of healthcare utilization among this group could help aid in the design of culturally competent programs. A self-administered survey was distributed at events across Southern California and Jacksonville, Florida from January 2018 to May 2019. Statistical analysis utilized multivariate regressions. Insurance coverage was associated with a preference for speaking Arabic (OR 0.433, p = 0.02) and increased length of residency (OR 1.04, p = 0.02). Routine checkup was associated with female sex (OR 1.97, p = 0.001), age (OR 1.05, p  less then  0.001), and insurance coverage (OR 6.96, p  less then  0.001). Colonoscopy compliance rate was 43.3% and positively associated with higher education (OR 2.70, p = 0.002), routine checkup (OR 7.61, p = 0.009) and increased length of residency (OR 1.06, p  less then  0.001). Syrian Americans may benefit from further health promotion campaigns with regard to insurance coverage, preventative care and cancer screenings.Early life exposures have been associated with obesity later in life. We aim to assess the association between early life exposure to food insecurity and change in BMI throughout childhood and adolescents. Food security status and growth variables from 243 Mother-child dyads from the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas study were assessed 7 times over a 12-year period. Generalized log linear models with Poisson distributions and linear regression models were implemented to assess the associations between early life food insecurity and obesity and growth. Early life food insecurity was associated with a 0.43 (0.01, 0.82) kg/m2 decrease in BMI from age 2 to 3.5, and a 0.92 kg/m2 (0.38, 1.46) increase in BMI among boys from ages 3.5 to 5, after adjusting for covariates. Sex and age modify the association between early life exposure to food insecurity and BMI.
