The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyse the results of 1102 primary liver cancer (PLC) patients underwent liver resection in the past thirty years and to search some effective approaches for improving the longterm effect or PLC treatment. 95% were with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 85.2% with cirrhosis of hepatitis and 25.6% with tumor equal to or smaller than 5 cm in diameter. The mortality rate (MR) within 1 month after operation was 1.8%, the operative MR was 8.8% before 1977 and only 0.4% after that. The total 5-year survival rate (SR) was 28.2% while in the group of small tumor (≤5cm), it was 75.0%. Our experience was as follows: (1) Early diagnosis and early resection of PLC is the key point for improving the operative result of longterm survival. In 282 cases of small cancer, tumor resection rate was 90.0%. Of 48 cases of tumor equal to or smaller than 3 cm in diameter, the 5-year SR was 83.3%. (2) .Rehepatectomy for recurrent liver cancer is an important approach for improving the surgical result. In our series, recurrent rate within 5 years postoperation was 72.3% in larger tumor group and 34.5% in small tumors. There were 78 cases undergoing reoperation in a total number of 170 times of rehepatectomy with 54.7% of 5-year SR after the 1st operation and 34.6% after the 2nd one. (3) For unresectable large tumors, two-stage operation is an important development in liver surgery. We had 26 cases of such patients with 60.0% of 5-year SR. (4) Improvement of operating techniques plays an important role in reducing postoperative complications, lowering operative mor- tality and obtaining better operative result. (5) Postoperative comprehensive treatments are also important for solidating operative effect and preventing tumor recurrence.

Objective To evalutate the safty of hBMSCs transpalntation and to observe their migration and distribution in the brain of young macaca fascicularis. To establish a new technology platform and theoretical basis for the treatment of central nervous system diseases in children. Methods Labelled hBMSCs were transplanted into the striatum of young macaca fascicularis. Brain sections were examined to evalutate the inflammatory reaction and immunological rejection of local injection sites by HE observation and immunohistochemical staining. Migration and distribution of transplanted?hBMSCs was observed by real?time fluorescence quantitative PCR of male DNA and fluorescence microscope. Results The results showed that the direct intracerebral injection of hBMSCs did not cause systemic symptoms in animals. There is no inflammatory reaction and immunological rejection was detected, and degeneration and necrosis of neural cells and proliferation of glial cells were absent in the local injection sites. The transplanted hBMSCs survived, and migrated into the brain after 4 weeks transplantation. Its migration and distribution have certain regularity and were overlapping between transplant recipients. In addtion, hBMSCs tended to extend rostrally into the forebrain and showed preference of migrating toward the blood vessels and below the ependyma. Conculsions Intracerebral transplantation of hBMSCs is safe. And hBMSCs can survive and migrate into the brain.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical features, immunohistochemical and differential diagnosis of desmoplastic fibroblastoma.
Methods:
The clinical data and pathology features of 7 cases of desmoplastic fibroblastoma were collected and immunohistochemical study were carried out in all cases with a review of the literatures.
Results:
There were 2 males and 5 females, with age ranging from 31 to 71 years (average and mean age were 59 and 61 years, respectively). The tumors were located in extremities and abdomen (left toe and right toe, right foot back, left leg and right thigh, right forearm and left hepatic lobe). Clinically, the tumors presented as slow growing painless masses of long standing duration. Grossly, the tumors were well-circumscribed with firm, white to gray cut-off surface. Tumor size ranged from 1.2 to 4.0 cm in maximum diameter (average 3.0 cm). Microscopically, 2 cases were located in dermis, 4 cases were located in subcutaneous and 1 case was located in liver parenchyma. It was composed of spindle-shaped or stellate cells with a fibroblastic or myofibroblastic appearance, and sparsely scattered in densely fibrous or fibromyxoid background. There was small vascular component in tumor background. At high magnification, the tumor cells were medium size with abundant cytoplasm, and the nucleus were small and always with small nucleoli. In some cases, the tumor cells were slightly larger with enlarged nuclei, but without cellular atypical and mitosis. Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were strongly positive for vimentin, desmin, S-100 protein and CD34, but CKpan was negative. α-SMA showed focal positive in one case. Ki-67 index ranged from 1% to 2%. Four cases were followed-up (ranged from 11 to 21 months, average 16.5 months) and the patients had no recurrence after surgery.
Conclusions
Desmoplastic firoblastoma is a rare soft benign tumor. The differential diagnosis includes other benign or low-grade fibroblastic/myofibroblastic lesions.

Background and purpose:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation is the most important predictive factor for determining the effectiveness of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to determine the clinical application value of mutation-speciifc immu-nohistochemistry forEGFR mutation detection in NSCLC.Methods:Mutation-specific immunohistochemistry and ampliifcation refractory mutation system (ARMS) were used simultaneously to detectEGFR gene mutation status in 290 lung cancer specimens. The sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry for detectingEGFR gene mutations were evaluated. The consistency was analyzed between mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry results and ARMS results.Results:With ARMS testing as the gold standard, when a cutoff value of score 1+ was used as positive by immunohistochemistry, the sensitivity of mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry forEGFR gene mutation was 72.92%, speciifcity 95.20%, positive predictive value 93.75% and negative predictive value 78.08%. The accuracy of immunohistochemistry was obviously different when variousEGFR gene mutations were detected. The sensitivity of immunohistochemistry for exon 19 deletion was only 55.55%, but speciifcity was above 99%. When immunohistochemistry score was 1+, the sensitivity for L858R mu-tation was 90.27%, whereas speciifcity was 95.86%. When immunohistochemistry score was 2+ or 3+, the speciifcity for L858R mutation was 98.63%-100%. The results of mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry were ifnely correlated with mutation status determined by ARMS assay (P<0.001, Kappa value: 0.612-0.864). Mutation-speciifc immunohis-tochemistry can directly determineEGFR gene mutation abundance at the cellular level.Conclusion:Mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry could be an effective supplemental method toEGFR molecular tests.

Objective:To provide theoretical reference for the construction of effective prevention and control strategies. The study deeply investigates the impact of traumatic birth events on compassion fatigue and inner feelings of midwives.Methods:Fifteen midwives from five tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou were interviewed in depth by semi-structured interview method from April to June 2021. Colaizzi analysis and Nvivo12 plus software were used to analyze and integrate the data and extract themes.Results:Three main themes were extracted, including the characteristics of traumatic birth events (high incidence, sudden and dangerous, preventable and controllable); exacerbating compassion fatigue (reducing compassion satisfaction levels; exacerbating burnout; and aggravating traumatic stress responses); and exploring effective coping strategies (time required for adjustment, seeking stress release).Conclusions:As a strong stressor, traumatic birth events aggravate the symptoms of compassion fatigue in midwives. Managers should pay attention to the occupational exposure of traumatic childbirth events, actively guide midwives to make psychological adjustments. In addition, managers can increase social support and strengthen the ideological and political education of midwives, so that they have good stress tolerance and excellent professional psychological quality.

Objective:To study the clinical, imaging and pathological features of duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma (DGP).Methods:The clinical, imaging and pathological data of patients with DGP treated at the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2012 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Of 8 patients with DGP, there were 7 males and 1 female, with a median age of 52 years (range 37 to 57 years). Five patients were asymptomatic and they were diagnosed on physical examination followed by investigations. Three patients presented with black stools. CT examination showed localized nodular thickening of the duodenum, with enhanced scanning showing obvious progressive contrast enhancement. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic submucosal lesion in duodenal wall. Histologically, the neoplasm composed of three different cell types which included Schwann cells, epithelioid cells, and ganglioid cells. The Schwann cells expressed NF, NSE and S-100 proteins; the epithelioid cells expressed CK, NSE, Syn and CgA proteins; while the ganglioid cells expressed NSE, Syn, CgA and NF proteins. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed in 2 patients and surgical resection was performed in 6 patients.Conclusion:DGP is a rare benign neurogenic tumor which is most commonly found in the duodenum. It has a good prognosis. Imaging and endoscopic examinations demonstrated a submucosal mass. The main treatment are endoscopic resection and local surgical resection.
