A 76?year?old female patient complained of right chest pain for three months. CT scan showed a clump?like high?density shadow measuring 4.8 cm × 3.0 cm in size in the dorsal portion of the right lower lobe of the lung. Aspiration biopsy was performed, and biopsy samples were subjected to fungal culture and histopathological examination. Histopathological examination showed chronic granulomatous inflammation with hyaline septate hyphae. After 4?day culture, white villous dense colonies were formed on the Sabouraud′s agar medium. The center of the colonies was slightly elevated with wrinkles or radiating striae on the surface, and the bottom of the colonies was faint yellow in color. Microculture yielded abundant septate branched hyphae, and very few colorless hyaline quasi?circular spores. DNA sequencing of rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and β?tubulin genes was performed to identify the isolate, and antifungal susceptibility testing was carried out in vitro. The MEGA7.0 software was used to build phylogenetic trees of Aspergillus fumigatus complex and its closely related species. The isolate was identified as Aspergillus fumigatus by molecular biologic sequencing. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary aspergilloma. After administration of itraconazole oral solution and vorionazole tablets, the condition got better obviously.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features and diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma to the spleen (MCS).
METHODSFour patients (1 man and 3 women, mean age 43.5 years) with MCS were analyzed clinicopathologically.
RESULTSThe four MCS patients accounted for 1.3% of 308 patients having spleen biopsy from 1959 to 1999. Their chief presentations were pain and mass in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. The mass was located in the upper pole of the spleen (1 patient), the lower pole of the spleen (2), or the lower pole and hilum of the spleen (1). Macroscopically, all of the lesions were nodular. Histologic type of these MCSs included acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas (2 patients), transverse colon adenocarcinoma (1), and hepatic cell carcinoma (1). Clinically, 1 patient was diagnosed as having MCS and 3 were misdiagnosed. According to Chinese literature, the clinicopathologic features of MCS were as follows: (1) 66.7% of the patients with MCS were aged 30 approximately 60 years, with a mean of 51.2 years. (2) 76.3% of the patients presented with pain in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen and 63.2% with splenomegaly and splenic masses. (3) Macroscopically, nodular lesions accounted for 68.4%. (4) Microscopically, 84.2% of the lesions were adenocarcinomas and 70.3% originated from carcinomas of the colon, liver, ovary and pancreas. (5) B-mode ultrasonography and/or CT showed occupying lesions or masses in the spleen in 76.7%, and MCS in 11.8%. (6) Clinically, 73.7% of the patients were misdiagnosed.
CONCLUSIONSMCS is uncommon but its clinical misdiagnosis rate is high. Image examination is of value in clinical diagnosis. Cooperation of clinicians and pathologists may enhance the diagnostic level of MCS.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA (miRNA, miR)-4699-3p in ovarian cancer cell lines, and observe its ability to regulate the expression of mitochondrial ribosomal protein S23 (MRPS23) and its effect on the migration and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells.Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-4699-3p in ovarian cancer cell lines (OVCAR-3, SKOV-3, HO-8910, OC3, A2780) and normal ovarian epithelial cells (IOSE80). The liposome transfection method was used to transfect miR-4699-3p mimic or negative control miR-NC to the cell line with the lowest miR-4699-3p expression, which was defined as the experimental group and the control group. qRT-PCR was used to verify transfection efficiency. Bioinformatics technology predicted the candidate target gene of miR-4699-3p, and the dual luciferase reporter gene experiment identified its ability to regulate the target gene. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of target genes at the mRNA and protein levels. Cell counting method (CCK-8) and transwell migration experiment were used to detect the effect of miR-4699-3p on the proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells.Results:The expression of miR-4699-3p in ovarian cancer cell lines was significantly lower than that of normal ovarian epithelial cells ( P<0.05), and the lowest expression in OVCAR-3 cells ( P<0.01). After transfection of miR-4699-3p, the expression of miR-4699-3p in OVCAR-3 cells in the experimental group was significantly increased ( P<0.01), which proved that the transfection was successful. Bioinformatics technology predicted that the candidate target gene of miR-4699-3p may be MRPS23. The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that miR-4699-3p can directly target the 3′-UTR of MRPS23 gene mRNA ( P<0.01). Compared with the OVCAR-3 cells in the control group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of the MRPS23 gene were significantly reduced, while the expressions of Twist, Slug, CDK6 and Cyclin D3 were significantly decreased ( P<0.01) in the experimental group after up-regulating miR-4699-3p expression ( P<0.01). After up-regulating miR-4699-3p expression, the proliferation ability of OVCAR-3 cells decreased ( P<0.05) and the migration ability of OVCAR-3 cells was reduced ( P<0.01). Conclusions:miR-4699-3p is under-expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines. Up-regulation of miR-4699-3p expression in OVCAR-3 cells can inhibit ovarian cancer cell proliferation and migration by interfering with MRPS23 gene expression.
