Objective To evaluate the effects of extractive from Gastrodiae Rhizoma on acquisition, consolidation and retrieval of learning-memory function in mice;To provide some reference for clinical research and development of new drugs.Methods Male Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, positive control group and Gastrodia extractive group. Positive control group and Gastrodia extractive group were given gavage by using relevant medicine 0.2 mL/10 g, and the control group and model group were given gavage with the same amount of distilled water for 16 days. After receiving gavage for continuous 11 days, memory acquisition barrier model was induced by scopolamine;memory consolidation barrier model was induced by chloromycetin;memory retrieval barrier model was induced by EtOH. The learning-memory function was reviewed by escape latency and spatial search distance. The quadrant and distance search time percentage was detected through directional navigation test and spatial probe test in Morris water maze.Results Extractive from Gastrodia Rhizoma shortened the time for acquisition, consolidation and retrieval of learning memory about escape latency and spatial search distance (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the quadrant and distance search time percentage were prolonged (P<0.01).Conclusion Extractive from Gastrodia Rhizoa can effectively improve the acquisition, consolidation and retrieval of learning-memory function in mice.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of dydrogesterone and gestrinone on postoperative endometriosis and the rate of pregnancy in patients with infertility. Methods One hundred and fifty patients with postoperative endometriosis were enrolled in the current study who were hospitalized in fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Command from Jan. 2009 to Aug. 2013. They were randomly divided into dydrogesternne group(76 cases)and gestrenone groups(54 cases)based on progestogent treatment. The situation of pain symptoms improvement,the recurrence rate of 1 year,side effects and postoperative pregnancy rate were observed in order to evaluate the drug efficacy. Results There were a high rate of postoperative pain remission rate and a low recurrence rate of the two groups,and the difference was not significant( P ﹥0. 05 ). The main adverse reaction of patients in dydrogesterone group was breast pain and the incidence rate was 3. 9%( 3/76 ),while there was no breast pain in gestrinone group,and the difference was not significant( P =0. 140 ). The main adverse reaction of patients in gestrinone group was liver function damage and the incidence rate was 25. 9%(7/54),while the dydrogesterone group hadn't liver function damage,and the difference between two groups was significant( P =0. 000 ). The abnormal uterus bleeding incidence rate in dydrogesterone group was 15. 8%(12/76),higher than that of gestrinone group(13. 0%(7/54)),and the difference was significant(P=0. 038) . The serum carbohydrate antigen-125(CA-125)level in two groups were down to normal after operation,and still declined after drug treatment for 3 months. But there was no obvious change after 6 months. One year pregnancy rate of dydrogesterone pregnancy was 80%(24/30),higher than that of gestrinone group(48%,12/25),and the difference was significant( P =0. 038 ). Conclusion There is no significant difference in therapeutic effect between two groups. However,dydrogesterone therapy have no significant liver damage,and a higher postoperation pregnancy rate.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an aggressive malignancy, with a high incidence and poor prognosis. In the past several decades, hundreds of proteins have been reported to be associated with the prog-nosis of ESCC, but none has been widely accepted to guide clinical care. This study aimed to identify proteins with great potential for predicting prognosis of ESCC. Methods: We conducted a systematic review on immunohistochemical (IHC) prognostic markers of ESCC accord-ing to the 2009 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines. Literature related to IHC prognostic markers of ESCC were searched from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library until January 30th, 2017. The risk of bias of these original studies was evaluated using the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. Results: We identified 11 emerging IHC markers with reproducible results, including eight markers [epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Cyclin D1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Survivin, Podoplanin, Fascin, phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)] indicating unfavorable prognosis and 3 markers (P27, P16, and E-cadherin) indicating favorable prognosis of ESCC. Conclusion: Strong evidence supports that these 11 emerging IHC markers or their combinations may be useful in predicting prognosis and aiding personalized therapy decision-making for ESCC patients.

Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL).
Methods:
A total of 12 specimens were collected, which were surgically resected and verified as MEITL by postoperative pathology, immumohistochemical staining and gene rearrangement at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2012 to 2018, and all of these had complete clinical and pathological data. The MEITL cases were reviewed to compare the clinicopathological characteristics, including morphologic and immunophenotypic features and followed up by telephone and clinic visit.
Results:
All the cases were diagnosed with MEITL. There were 8 males and 4 females. Male to female ratio was 2∶1, at a median age of 54 years. The sites of involvement included jejunum (4 cases), ileum (5 cases), duodenum (1 case), ileocecal junction (1 case) and rectum (1 case). The neoplastic cells were monotonous of small to intermediate cells in size with round to slightly irregular nuclei in 11 cases. The immunophenotyping showed that CD3 (12/12), CD8 (11/12), CD43 (11/12), CD56 (11/12), TIA-1 (12/12) were positive; CD5 (12/12), Gran B (9/12), and perforin (7/12) were negative. Two cases aberrantly expressed the B-cell marker CD20. A high proliferation index was demonstrated by Ki-67 immunostaining. In situ hybridization for EBER was all negative(12/12). The whole exome sequencing(WES) mutational landscape of MEITL was remarkably homogeneous, showing significantly enriched clusters among histone modifier genes, JAK-STAT and MAPK-signal pathways. Histonelysine N-methytransferase SETD2 gene was mutated in 2/4 tumors. All the patients analyzed harbored at least one mutation in the JAK-STAT signal pathway, including STAT5B (2/4), JAK3 (3/4) and STAT5A (2/4). Furthermore, frequent alterations (TP53) were observed in the MAPK pathway in 3/4 of MEITL cases. The CNV analysis derived from WES data identified multiple regions of frequent gains and losses. In particular, gains in 1q, 7q and 9q, and recurrent losses involving 7p and 8p were observed.
Conclusions
MEITL is a rare and aggressive type of extranodal T-cell lymphoma. The differential diagnosis of MEITL includes EATL, extranodal NT/T-cell lymphoma and other types of PTCL. Diagnosis should be correlated to clinical symptoms while the final diagnosis is mainly based on the pathological features, immunophenotypes and genetic testing.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bronchiolar adenoma (BA).Methods:Fifteen cases of BA were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2016 to October 2019. The clinical data, imaging examination, morphology, immunostaining and molecular changes were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 3 males, 12 females, most of the patients were female, mainly in middle-aged to elderly (51-77 years). Three had smoking history. The patients usually had no clinical symptoms. Imaging findings were ground-glass and/or lobulated nodules. Grossly, the tumors were gray-whitish, taupe solid or focally microcystic nodules with distinct boundary but no capsule. The maximum diameter was 0.4-2.5?cm (mean 1.0?cm). Histologically, there were glandular, papillary, or flat patterns that were composed of basal cells, mucous cells, ciliated cells and type Ⅱ pneumocytes, some of which showed basal cell proliferation and squamous cell metaplasia. However, there were some cases with few or even without mucous and/or ciliated cells. Immunostaining highlighted the continuous basal cell layer (positive for p63, p40 and cytokeratin 5/6), which was the most important diagnostic evidence. Genetic tests did not show mutation in BRAF or EGFR genes. All patients were followed up for 1-41 months, and they were without recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:BA is a benign neoplasm that develops in the peripheral lung with good prognosis. Definite diagnosis is very crucial for surgical treatment, especially in frozen consultation. Immunohistochemistry will be helpful if necessary.
