Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of a new direct lysis repair technique using internal fixation with rod, screws, and Songer cable in symptomatic lumbar spondylolysis. METHODS Between December 2015 and January 2020, patients who were diagnosed with symptomatic lumbar spondylolysis and surgically treated with a rod-screw-cable system were recruited. Pedicle screwing by the Magerl technique was performed in all included patients, followed by direct lysis repair with bone allograft and demineralized bone matrix by stabilizing the posterior lamina and spinous process using a rod-screw-cable system. Clinical outcome was measured using the visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index preoperatively and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Sixteen patients were included in this study-11 men and 5 women (mean age: 47 years; range, 26-67 years). The lytic defects were at L4 and L5 in 6 and 10 patients, respectively. The mean follow-up period was 41 months (24-62 months). The visual analog scale values were 7.3, 6.1, 4.3, 3.3, 2.1, and 1.9 preoperatively and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively, respectively. The Oswestry disability index values were 59.8%, 55.4%, 41.7%, 32.4%, 21.1%, and 16.9% for the same periods, respectively. No patient had an increase in the slip after surgery. There were no significant complications such as implant failure. CONCLUSIONS Our technique provides rigid intra-segmental repair of spondylolysis without intersegmental motion interference, even if the patient is older or has disc degeneration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Metaplastic breeast cancer (MBC) is a rare, heterogenous cancer characterized by admixture of adenocarcinoma with metaplastic elements, low hormone receptor expression and poor outcome. This study was planned to assess the clinicopathological chacteristics and immunohistochemical findings of MBC compared to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) including the triple-negative subtype (TN-IDC). Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 47 MBC and 1,346 IDC patients. Two hundred eighteen TN-IDC patients were included in the 1,346 IDC patients. Between 2005 and 2009, these patients were undergone surgical treatment at the Samsung Medical Center. Patients were reviewed clinicopathologic factors, immunohistochemistry of biologic factors such as ER, PR, HER-2, p53, Ki67, cytokeratine (CK) 5/6, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and treatment modalities (type of operation, use of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy). Result: The MBC patients presented with a larger tumor size (>T1, 66.0% vs. 44.3.%, P = 0.008), lower lymph node involvement (N0, 73.3% vs. 55.6%, P = 0.03), higher histologic (HG) and nuclear grade (NG) (HG3, 70.0% vs. 41.5%, P = 0.001; NG3,82.6% vs. 46.9%, P < 0.001), fewer estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 positivity (ER+, 4.3% vs. 69.2%, P < 0.001; PR+, 6.4% vs. 63.5%, P < 0.001; HER2+, 0% vs. 27.6%, P < 0.001), higher p53, CK5/6 and EGFR expression (p53+, 63.8% vs.38.8%, P < 0.001; CK5/6+, 71.9% vs.21.5%, P < 0.001; EGFR+, 93.9% vs.21.6%, P <0.001) and more TN subtypes (93.6% vs. 16.2%, P < 0.001) compared to the IDC group. There was no significant difference in clinicopathological characteristics with MBC and TN-IDC except EGFR over expression (EGFR+, 93.9% vs.69.0%, P = 0.017). In follow-up duration (median 30 months, range 2-56 months), seven (14.9%) MBC patients and 98 (7.2%) IDC patients recurred. The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 78.1% in the MBC group and 91.1% in IDC group (P <0.001). The 3-year DFS rate was not significantly difference between MBC group and TN-IDC group (78.1% vs. 84.9%, P = 0.114). However, in patients with lymph node metastasis who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy, the 3-year DFS rate was 44.4% in MBC group and 72.5% in TN-IDC group (P = 0.025).
Discussion: In our result, MBC show poorer clinical outcome than IDC. It is not shown significant difference between MBC and TN-IDC. However, MBC patients with nodal metastasis have poorer prognosis than TN-IDC patients with metastasis despite adjuvant chemotherapy.
