Objective To evaluate the endoscopic and pathologic characteristics and etiological ex-amination of viral esophagitis. Methods The data of 16 patients with viral esophagitis, including endoscop-ic, pathological and immunohistochemical findings were retrospectively studied. Results Endoscopic find-ings of viral esophagitis were characterized by single or multiple round and oval ulcers, located at the upper and middle esophagus. The surface of the ulcer was clean, and the boundary was distinct. Pathologic findings included degeneration and necrosis in squamons epithelium, accompanied by ulcer, infiltration of neutrophils and lymphocytes, hyperplasia of capillaries and basal cells and formation of granulation tissues, Immunocyto-chemical examination showed HSV-1 was positive in biopses, while CMV, EBV, HHV8 were negetive. Con-dusion Viral esophagtitis exhibited distinctive endosoopic and pathological features, and etiology can be confirmed by immunohistochemical examinations.

OBJECTIVETo establish a high-quality method for detecting short tandem repeats(STR) using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC) in order to exclude maternal contamination and improve the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis.

METHODSTwo families were recruited. DNA was extracted from blood samples from the parents as well as amniotic fluid. Sixteen STR sites were amplified and analyzed based on the range of allele length reported by a STR database. Maternal DNA was mixed with DNA derived from amniotic fluid samples with the ratio 1:1, 1:4, 1:9, 1:19 and 1:99. vWA STR site was detected with DHPLC to confirm the sensitivity of detection.

RESULTSSixteen STR sites were analyzed by DHPLC, for which at least 10 were found to be different between the mothers and fetuses. The detection rate, with maternal contamination excluded, was 66.7%. And the sensitivity of detection was 1-10%.

CONCLUSIONMaternal contamination of amniotic fluid can be rapidly excluded with accuracy with DHPLC, which features a high sensitivity and good quality control, and can meet the European standards and provide a reliable quality control platform for prenatal diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the relationship between big endothelin-1 (big ET-1) and cardiac remodeling in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM).
Methods:A total of 167 consecutive HOCM patients admitted in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2016-05 were enrolled. Blood levels of big ET-1 and NT-proBNP were measured;electrocardiogram(ECG), dynamicECG,echocardiography (UCG) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) were examined for relevant statistical analysis.
Results:In all 167 HOCM patients, blood level of Big ET-1 was positively related to NT pro-BNP (r=0.35, P=0.000), left atrial (LA) diameter (r=0.169, P=0.019) and heart rate (r=0.141, P=0.037);negatively related to hemoglobin (r=-0.173, P=0.013) and the ratio of interventricular septum (IVS)/posterior wall of left ventricle (r=-0.165, P=0.017). Based on the finding of positive correlation between Big ET-1 and LA diameter, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Normal LA group, n=74 and Enlarged LA group, n=93. Compared with Normal LA group,Enlarged LA group had the higher blood level of Big ET-1 (P=0.001);increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (P=0.024), thicker IVS (P=0.003), lower LVEF (P=0.001);enlarged LVED volume (P=0.002) and IVS (P=0.002);elevated ratio of atrial fibrillation(AF);more patients with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and NYHA functional classIII/IV.
Conclusion: Blood level of Big ET-1 was positively related to NT pro-BNP and LA diameter in HOCM patients;the patients with enlarged LA had increased Big ET-1, more obvious cardiac remodeling and the higher incidence of AF occurrence which implied that Big ET-1 might play the role in cardiac remodeling in HOCM patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in diagnosis of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs), mediastinal occupying lesion of unknown origin, as well as in N-staging for lung cancer. Methods EUS-FNA was performed via esophagus with a 22-gange needle in 61 patients, followed by pathological and cytological examinations. Results The positive diagnosis rate of EUS-FNA was 93.4% (57/61), and the cytological and pathological diagnostic accuracy were 85.2% (52/61) and 83.6% (51/61), respectively. Of 61 patients, 26 were suspected as having lung cancer with mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis, but the bronchoscopy failed to confirm the diag-nosis. EUS-FNA diagnosed lung cancer in 21 and benign lesion in 5. Of 22 patients with mediastinal occupying lesions of unknown origin, 19 (86.4%) were diagnosed by EUS-FNA. Of 7 patients with malignant tumor history and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, EUS-FNA confirmed mediastinal metastasis in 6 (85.7%). Six cases of lung cancer with suspected mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis were confirmed by EUS-FNA and the corresponding therapy regimen was modified. No complications related to EUS-FNA procedure occurred. Conclusion EUS-FNA is a safe and effective method for diagnosis of enlarged medistinal LNs, mediastinal lesion of unkown origin and N-stage of lung cancer.
