Tumor 2017;37(12):1313-1321
Objective: To investigate the clinical features of intracranial Castleman's disease, and to improve the understanding of the disease. Methods: The clinical features of one case of intracranial mixed type Castleman's disease, who was diagnosed in Department of Neurosurgery, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University in February 9, 2017, were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literatures about intracranial Castleman's disease were reviewed. The PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Cochrane, Wanfang Database and China Journal Full-text Database were searched using the keywords including "Castleman", "Intracranial"and "Central nervous system" for related literatures published between January 1, 1980 and January 31, 2017. Results: A 32-year old female was admitted because of headache for one month. CT examination showed an irregular and well-defined hyperdense lesion in the right temporo-parietal area with surrounding extensive edema and this mass was markedly contrast enhanced. Laboratory examination revealed anemia and hyperimmunoglobulinemia. The mass was removed completely by surgical resection. Postoperative pathology examination revealed mixed type Castleman's disease in the right temporo-parietal area. MRI was performed 3 months after the surgery. No residual tumor and recurrence were demonstrated. Seventeen related case reports were retrieved and 20 cases of intracranial Castleman's disease were reported. Among total 21 cases, there were 7 males and 14 females, ranging from 8 to 82 years old, and the median age was 47 years old. The mass arised from the dura matter or leptomeninges, and the most common sites of origin were located at the cerebral convexity and the parafalcine. The most common clinical features were seizures and headache. Radiographically, the previously reported cases presented as a homogeneously enhanced extra-axial well-defined mass with a marked peritumoral edema. Conclusion: Intracranial Castleman's disease is a rare clinical condition. The diagnosis can be made in combination with clinical findings and the laboratory examination.

[ ABSTRACT ] AIM: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of bone morphogenetic protein 3 (BMP3) in hilar cholangiocarcinoma tissues.METHODS: Thirty cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma specimens were col-lected.The expression of BMP3 at mRNA and protein levels in the tumor tissues and paracancerous tissues was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.The hilar cholangiocarcinoma paraffin-embedded specimens (n=103) were collected. The protein expression of BMP3 was determined by immunohistochemical method, and the relationship of BMP3 protein ex-pression with clinical pathological characteristics was evaluated.RESULTS:In the 30 patients with hilar cholangiocarcino-ma, the expressions of BMP3 protein and mRNA in 22 cases of tumor tissues were significantly decreased compared with the adjacent normal tissues.The results of immunohistochemistry showed that 87 cases were negative and 16 cases were weakly positive in all 103 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.The expression of BMP3 protein was associated with the tumor TNM staging, lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:BMP3 gene might be inhibited in human hilar cholangiocarcinoma.The down-regulation of BMP3 gene might be associated with the carcinogenesis and devel-opment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective]In order to study the impact of adenoid hypertrophy(AH)with allergic rhinitis(AR)in the otitis media with effusion(OME)in children,as well as to discuss the risk factors on the inducement of OME in patients with AH.[Methods]The clinical materials were collected and analyzed from 205 children with AH who admitted for surgical treatment between 2013 and 2015, including medical history and signs,acoustic immittance measurement,allergy screen as well as blood routine,and to evaluate the situation of OME and AR in patients with AH. All the data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0.[Results]Among the 205 AH children,66 cases(32.20%)were accompanying with OME. The AH patients aged 3-5 years had the highest incidence of OME,which decreased with age(P=0.018). It is significant on the prevalence of the OME in patients with AH between the two groups with and without AR (P = 0.010). In the logistic model investigating the risk factors of inducing OME among patients with AH,the third-degree AH, Type-three and the accompanying with AR were significant. The third-degree and third-type AH children were 2.729 and 6.390-folds higher than others respectively (P = 0.047,P = 0.001). The incidence of OME appeared to be 1.212-folds higher among patients with AR(P = 0.010).[Conclusion]Mechanical obstruction and AR played a superimposed role in the inducement of OME among patients with AH,which was effected by multiple factors. We should pay attention to the“lateral respiratory”allergic diseases on eustachian tube and middle ear.
