In LAMOST DR3, we find 20, 4 and 24 high confidence candidates of tidal streams GD-1, Cetus Polar and Orphan respectively. We also list 59, 118 and 10 high confidence candidates of tidal streams Cetus Polar, Orphan and Pal 5, respectively from the SDSS DR9 spectroscopic catalog. Furthermore, we find seven high confidence candidates of the Pal 5 tidal stream in the APOGEE data. Compared with SDSS, the new candidates from LAMOST DR3 are brighter, so that together, more of the color-magnitude diagram, including the giant branch, can be explored. Analysis of the SDSS data shows that there are three metallicity peaks associated with the Orphan stream which also exhibit some spatial separation. The LAMOST data confirm multiple metallicities in this stream. The metallicity, given by the higher resolution APOGEE instrument, of the Pal 5 tidal stream is [Fe/H] ,- -1.2, higher than that given earlier by SDSS spectra. Many previously unidentified stream members are tabulated here for the first time, along with existing members, allowing future researchers to further constrain the orbits of these objects as they move within the Galaxy's dark matter potential.展开更多

Methods:The study included a retrospective series of 62 female patients with axillary lymph node-negative breast cancer. Expressions of PAI-1, C-erbB-2, VEGF and Ki-67 were determined by immunohistostaining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections from these patients after a median follow-up of 69 months (range 22–117 months). Correlations with well known clinicopathologic factors were assessed and multivariate survival analyses were performed. Results: High PAI-1 level was positively associated with high histologic grade of the tumors. Disease-free survival (DFS) was significantly shorter for the patients with moderate to intensive expression of PAI-1 than for those with negative (χ2 = 25.46, P < 0.001; χ2 = 23.07, P < 0.001) to mild expression (χ2 = 19.75, P < 0.001; χ2 = 17.40, P < 0.001). Although on univariate analysis of the prognostic factors, tumor size, location of primary tumor and age as well as expressions of PAI-1, VEGF and Ki-67 were all significantly prognostic factors for DFS (P < 0.05), PAI-1 was the only independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis (P<0.0001; hazard ratio [HR], 4.041; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.928–8.468). Conclusion: These results of the current study indicate that intermediate or high expression of PAI-1 represents a strong and independent unfavorable prognostic factor for the de-velopment of recurrence or metastases in axillary node-negative breast cancer.展开更多
