Article Abstract

Patients with breast cancer frequently experience psychological distress. This study aimed to investigate the effect of narrative nursing on middle-aged patients with breast cancer. In all, 82 patients with breast cancer admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were divided into two groups, namely, the observation group and the control group, by simple random sampling, with 41 cases in each group. The patients in both groups were treated with breast cancer surgery. Additionally, the control group received routine nursing, whereas the observation group received narrative nursing based on the control group. After 8 weeks of nursing, the SAS (self-rating anxiety scale) and SDS (self-rating depression scale) scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( < 0.01). At the same time, the result of family hardiness showed that the patients with narrative nursing performed better in commitment, challenge, and control ( < 0.01). In conclusion, narrative nursing can alleviate the postoperative shame and negative emotions of patients with breast cancer and improve their quality of life.

Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid with a variety of biological activities, including anti-microbial and anti-tumoral activities. However, the cellular targets of BBR and the roles of BBR in the radiosensitivity of breast cancer cells are not well defined. In this study, we investigated the effects of BBR on the radiosensitivity of BT549 triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Mendelian Randomization Study: The Impact of Gut Microbiota on Survival in HR+ Breast Cancer Patients Under Different Treatment Regimens Through the Modulation of Immune Cell Phenotypes.

Clin Breast Cancer

August 2025

Department of Pharmacy, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Shengli Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, School of Pharmacy, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China. Electronic address:

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiota (GM) may influence the progression of breast cancer by modulating immune responses. Given the vast diversity of GM and immune cell phenotypes, this study aimed to utilize the most advanced and comprehensive data to explore the causal relationships among the GM, immune cell phenotypes, and survival rates in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer patients under different treatment regimens.

Methods: We investigated the causal relationships between the GM, immune cell phenotypes, and survival rates in HR+ breast cancer patients treated with 11 distinct therapeutic strategies using Mendelian randomization.

[Development of an AI-based Positioning Technical Assistance System for Mammography].

Nihon Hoshasen Gijutsu Gakkai Zasshi

September 2025

Department of Radiological Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Gifu University of Medical Science.

Purpose: We aimed to develop an AI-based system to score the positioning in mammography (MG), with the goal of establishing a foundation for future technical support.

Methods: Using 800 mediolateral oblique (MLO) images, we developed an AI model (Mask Generation Model) for automatic extraction of three regions: the pectoralis major muscle, the mammary gland region, and the nipple. Using this model, we extracted three regions from 1544 MLO images and generated mask images.

Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is the primary surgical approach for patients with breast cancer. The accurate determination of surgical margins during BCS is critical for patient prognosis; however, time constraints and limitations in current pathological techniques often prevent pathologists from performing this assessment intraoperatively. The inability to reliably assess margins during surgery can lead to incomplete tumor removal and the need for additional surgeries.
