Objective To explore the imaging typing of skull eosinophilic granuloma( SEG) in children,and the clinical significance of this typing system was determined. Methods The clinical and radiological data of 32 cases of SEG confirmed by pathology in the past six years were retrospectively reviewed. According to the imaging findings,which included the size and shape of the granuloma,and the degree of skull destruction,SEGs were divided into four types:typeⅠ( subtle granumoma) ,typeⅡ( exteriorly convex granuloma) ,typeⅢ( biconvex granuloma) and typeⅣ(multiple granulomas and destructions). The imaging features of different types of SEG were analyzed,and the signif-icance of imaging typing was explored combining with the clinical manifestations,treatment programs and prognosis. Results Three cases (9. 4%) were included in typeⅠ,in which,the granuloma was not obvious and the skull destruction was confined in the diploe and outer plate. In type Ⅱ (21 cases,65. 6%),the imaging features included an obvious exteriorly convex mass and complete skull destruction of in-side and outside panels. Granuloma remove and destructed skull repair were performed in all cases,in which 15 were followed up and no re-currence was found. The imaging features of type Ⅲ (5 cases,15. 6%) were biconvex mass which broke through the inner plate and op-pressed the dura and cerebral parenchyma. Therapy program included not only surgical excision of the lesion but also repair of skull and dura. Three cases were followed up and no recurrence was found. Type Ⅳ (3 cases,9. 4%) showed multiple skull destructions and granulomas of various sizes. Chemotherapy and surgery treatment,poor prognosis and ease recurrence were characterized by this type. Conclusion we put forward a imaging typing method for SEGs. This typing system is helpful in guiding clinical protocols and prognosis of SEGs in children.

Objective:To investigate the possible influencing factors of false-negative diagnosis of cervical/vaginal liquid based cytology, and further improve the sensitivity of cervical/vaginal cytology.Methods:The results of cervical/vaginal cytology of outpatients and inpatients in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University First Hospital from July 2015 to December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Cytological false-negative cases were defined as the patients whose cytological results showed no intraepithelial neoplasia and malignant (NILM), but whose biopsy was diagnosed as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 or vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) 2 or above within 6 months of the diagnosis. The review of false-negative cytology smear was completed by two senior cytologists. Two-class logistic regression was used to evaluate the influence of age, location or number of lesion, and degree of lesion on the false-negative diagnosis of cytology. The reasons for the inconsistency of false-negative diagnosis were analyzed with the review results.Results:Among 1 009 cases of CIN2+ and VAIN2+ lesions, 180 cases (17.8%) showed NILM. After reviewing the smear, 123 cases (68.3%) were identified as NILM and 57 cases(31.7%) as abnormal. The false-negative rate was the highest (20.8%) in the patients with age≤30 years, and the risk was 8.85 times higher than the patients aged 31 to 60 years ( P<0.001), 9.26 times than the patients aged≥60 years ( P<0.001). The highest cytological false-negative rate was 50.0% for cervical polyps or intraductal lesions. The false-negative rate of vaginal wall or vaginal pedicle rupture was 13.0%; that of single cervical lesion was 22.3%; that of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL) and adenocarcinoma in situ of cervix(AIS) was 13.7% and that of malignant lesions was 3.9%. The most common cell types in the reviewed abnormal cases were squamous cells in the middle surface layer (38.6%) and squamous cells in the outer bottom layer (24.6%). The abnormal cells in all smears was the most common distribution (59.7%), the number of abnormal cells in the smear was less than 10 (31.6%), nuclear enlargement and light staining were common (42.2%), and inflammatory lesions or keratotic changes in the background were most common (59.7%). Conclusions:Age of the patient, location or number of lesion, and degree of lesion are associated with false-negative diagnosis of cytology. Summarizing sampling experience and improving sampling skills will help reduce the occurrence of false-negative cases. Cytopathologists should examine slightly abnormal changes more carefully and learn how to further reduce the false-negative rate procactively.

Objective:To explore the role of mechanical hemodynamic support (MHS) in mapping and catheter ablation of patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT), report single-center experience in a cohort of consecutive patients receiving VT ablation during MHS therapy, and provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with hemodynamically unstable VT who underwent catheter ablation with MHS at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University between August 2021 and December 2023 were included. Patients were divided into rescue group and preventive group according to the purpose of treatment. Their demographic data, periprocedural details, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 15 patients with hemodynamically unstable VT were included (8 patients in the rescue group and 7 patients in the preventive group). The acute procedure was successful in all patients. One patient in the rescue group had surgical left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, remaining 14 patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for circulation support. ECMO decannulation was performed in 12 patients due to clinical and hemodynamic stability, of which 6 patients were decannulation immediately after surgery and the remaining patients were decannulation at 2.0 (2.5) d after surgery. Two patients in the rescue group died during the index admission due to refractory heart failure and cerebral hemorrhage. During a median follow-up of 30 d (1 d to 12 months), one patient with LVAD had one episode of ventricular fibrillation at 6 months after discharge, and no further episodes of ventricular fibrillation and/or VT occurred after treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs. No malignant ventricular arrhythmia occurred in the remaining 12 patients who were followed up.Conclusions:MHS contributes to the successful completion of mapping and catheter ablation in patients with hemodynamically unstable VT, providing desirable hemodynamic status for emergency and elective conditions.
