Objective To understand the mycoplasma infection situation and resitance to clinical drugs among the patients with urogenital tract infection in Danzhou area .Methods A total of 1 828 patients with urogenital tract infection were selected from this area .The mycoplasma culture ,identification and drug susceptibility integration reagent kit was used for conducting the culture ,i‐dentification and drug susceptibility test of ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) and mycoplasma hominis (Mh) .And the obtained results were statistically analyzed .Results Among 1 828 cases of urogenital tract infection ,the total positive rate of mycoplasma culture was 35 .01% (640/1 828) ,in which the male mycoplasma infection rate was 25 .94% ,while the female mycoplasma infection rate was 42 .04% .The annual mycoplasma infection rate was 30 .98% in 2014 and 38 .87% in 2015 .Mycoplasma isolated from Danzhou area still maintained a high sensitivity to doxycycline ,minocycline and josamycin .However ,it generated different levels of drug re‐sistance to quinolones antibacterial drugs .Conclusion Mycoplasma infection is common among the patients with urogenital tract in‐fection in this area ,and gradually generates drug resistance .Therefore clinical doctors should rationally select antibacterial drugs ac‐cording to the patient′s condition .

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic significance of different pathology techniques (Immunohistochemistry and ISH)to detect EBV on bone marrow biopsy tissues of hemophagocytic syndrome. Methods Histological,immunohistochemicalandinsituhybridizationwereusedtostudythe hemophagocytic features and expression of LMP-1,EBER and other markers.Results25 out of 51 cases (49.0 %)showed an active proliferation growth pattern while other 12 cases(23.5 %)demonstrated a deterioration morphological character compared with their same age group. The left 14 cases (27.5 %) showed a normal myeloproliferative pattern. 91.4 % (32/35) expressed CD68/KP-1 and 89.5 % (17/19) cases expressed CD68/PG-M1, which showed an abnormal increase of monocytes. 26 out of 51 cases (51.0 %) were positive for EBER,while EBER and immunohistochemistry on LMP-1 were detected simultaneously in 41 cases.The EBER were positive in 19 cases(46.3 %)but none for LMP-1(P =0.000).ConclusionHypoplasia or hemophagocytic features could be detected on bone marrow biopsy tissues of hemophagocytic syndrome, which might be slightly difficult to diagnose. So immunohistochemistry would be essential. Meanwhile, the detection of EBER is more helpful than LMP-1 for diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features, histogenesis and prognosis of pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) in children.
METHODSPPB specimens from 16 pediatric cases with an age ranging from 1 year and 7 months to 5 years and 3 months (mean age of 3 years) were retrieved and analyzed by routine histological, immunohistochemical and electron methods.
RESULTSAmong 16 patients, there were 2 type I, 7 type II and 7 type III PPB cases. Type I PPB as multilocular cystic structure, consisted of thin fibrous wall lining the respiratory epithelium, subepithelial primitive blastema or immature mesenchymal cells, with or without rhabdomyoblastic differentiation or cartilage; Type II PPB as cystic-solid tumor, comparing with type I, consisted of intracystic components with appearance of anaplastic tumor cells. Type III PPB consisted of completely solid mass, the same as the solid region of type II, had mixed pattern including blastema, undifferentiated spindle-cell proliferations and sarcomas. In addition, anaplastic tumor cells and intra-and extra- cytoplasmic eosinophilic globules were also commonly present. Epithelial components in PPB were benign. Immunohistochemical study showed primitive mesenchymal differentiation of tumors. All cases were positive for vimentin, desmin, myogenin and SMA in tumors with skeletal muscle differentiation, S-100 was positive in tumors with cartilage differentiation. All tumors were negative for synaptophysin, CD99, and CD117. Benign epithelial components were positive for AE1/AE3 and EMA. In 12 cases, electron microscopy revealed few organelles in the primitive mesenchymal cells and rich heterochromatin in mesenchymal cells, the latter also demonstrating cytoplasmic myofilament dysplasia. Nine cases had clinical follow-up ranging from 5 to 48 months, of which 4 patients died.
CONCLUSIONSPPB is a rare lung neoplasm of children under the age of 6 years, with distinct pathological morphology. PPB may arise from lung or pleura mesenchymal cells and has a poor clinical outcome.
