Objective To explore clinicopathologic features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) type 2B mixed cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Methods A 22-Year-Old Man who presented with constitutional symptoms,severe hypertension,and purpuric lesions over the knees.Clinical features,histopathological,IHC and anti-angiogenesis therapy of this case with VHL syndrome-2B mixed cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis was studied based on the available follow-up data.He underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy and nephron sparing nephrectomy.Clinical evaluation included ophthalmologic examination as well as imaging exams and endocrinal hormone test for tumors markers ; molecular analysis consisted of PCR amplification of the complete VHL gene coding sequence (three exons) and automated nucleotide sequencing. Results 24 h urine Norepinephrine was 295.84 μg and octreotide scan was positive.The VHL-2B patient suffered from leukocytoclastic vasculitis,a retinal hole,pancroatic tumors (endocrine tumor and microcystic cystadenoma),bilateral pheochromocyoma,clear renal cell carcinoma,renal cysts,hepatic hemangioma and epididymal cyst.The patient developed 5 different tumors related to VHL within a period of 6 years.The cutaneous vasculitis persisted despite treatment with high-dose systemic corticosteroids,but rapidly resolved after treatment with phenoxybenzamine and removal of bilateral pheochromocytomas.Tumor cells of resected PHEO samples stained positive for CgA and S-100,but negative for Melan-A.,and with less than 1% Ki-67. Conclusions Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis is one of paraneoplastic syndrome of pheochromocytoma.Because new lesions may develop during the patient's lifetime,regular clinical inspection is recommended in order to check up the development of any new lesions.

Objective To discuss the clinical and pathological manifestations of paragangliomas of the urinary bladder (PUB) and improve the preoperative diagnosis and surgical treatment of PUB.Methods Clinical data of 11 patients treated for PUB from June 1985 to March 2010 were analyzed.All cases had mild-paroxysmal hypertension, palpitation, sweating, and 9 cases occasionally showed headache and micturition syncope during straining urination. Twenty-four hour urine catecholamine (CA) levels were estimated in all cases. B-ultrasound and CT and/or MRI scanning were used in the imaging of all cases. Nailfola microcirculation inspection was carried out in 5 cases. Scintigraphy 131I-MIBG in 4 patients was positive expression, 7 of 111 In-DTPA-Octreotide scintigraphy and I of PETCT were also positive expression. UICC bladder tumor classification was T1 (1 case), T2 (5 cases), T3(4 cases), T4 (1 case). Results All the patients underwent partial cystectomy, laparoscopy or TURBT. One patient received 131 I-MIBG therapy. Histopathological diagnosis was confirmed by HE staining in all of the removed tumors. The tumors consisted of discrete aggregates of zellballen cells separated by a network of vascular channels. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 291 months (mean, 45 months). There were 3 recurrences following surgery. One patient died after developing pelvic lymph nodes, liver and colon metastasis. Conclusions PUB should be suspected in patients below 40 years of age if the clinical manifestations of typical tetrad symptoms: headache and micturition syncope,sweating, palpitation and hematuria are present. Advanced classification, multifocal tumors and CgA (+) are risks of recurrence and metastasis. In those patients with unresectable multiple or recurrent tumors, chemotherapy and 131I-MIBG therapy may be helpful for controling hypertension and delaying progress.

ObjectiveTo assess negative risk factors associate with short-term and long-term poor outcome of acute heart failure syndromes(AHFS) and provide evidence to emergently proceed to AHFS low risk stratification.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. 125 AHFS patients who met research criterion were enrolled from Guangxi Baise People's Hospital and Youjiang District People's Hospital of Baise City. The patients were divided into poor outcome and relatively low-risk groups by the results of short- and long-term follow-up of their outcomes. The patient's vital signs and disease history were collected at the first time after admission, and auxillary examination parameters were recorded. The poor outcomes occurring in the follow-up periods from the admission to after discharge for 30 days(short-term) and 1 year(long-term)were recorded, and Cox hazard regression was used to analyze the negative risk factor in the short- and long-term.Results There were 58 cases(46.4%)with poor outcome and 30 cases(24.0%)dead in short-term, and there were 111 cases(88.8%) with poor outcome and 39 cases(31.2%) dead in the long-term follow up. Seven negative risk factors were identified by Cox regression. They were no previous or de novo myocardial infarction〔short-term: hazard ratio(HR)=0.36, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=0.20-0.65,P=0.001〕, lymphocyte ratio 0.20-0.40(short-term:HR=0.13, 95%CI=0.04-0.47, P=0.002; long-term:HR=0.42, 95%CI=0.26-0.68,P=0.001),oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2)>300 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa,short-term:HR=0.23, 95%CI=0.09-0.54,P=0.001),estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)>60 mL·min-1·1.73 m-2(short-term:HR=0.31, 95%CI=0.16-0.64,P=0.002;long-term:HR=0.54, 95%CI=0.36-0.83,P=0.004),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)>0.50(short-term:HR=0.29, 95%CI= 0.10-0.85,P=0.024), P wave terminal force in lead V1(PtfV1)>-0.04 mm·s(short-term:HR=0.29, 95%CI= 0.14-0.60,P=0.001), planar QRS-T angle<90°(long-term:HR=0.46, 95%CI=0.27-0.77,P=0.003). ConclusionsOur patients with AHFS cohort have very poor outcomes both in short-term and long-term follow up. Those with the following characteristics: no previous or de novo myocardial fraction, lymphocyte ratio 0.20-0.40, PaO2/FiO2>300 mmHg, eGFR>60 mL·min-1·1.73 m-2, PtfV1>-0.04 mm·s, LVEF>0.50 and planar QRS-T angle<90°are more likely to have optimal short-term and long-term outcome.

Objective To study the effects of verussurinine (VSRN), an alkaloid isolated from Veratrum nigrum var. ussuriense alkaloids (VnA), against thrombosis and its platelet aggregation inhibitory activity in rats in order to find out whether VSRN is the antithrombotic active ingredient of VnA. Methods The electrically induced rat carotid artery thrombosis and stasis-induced rat inferior vena cava thrombosis models were used to evaluate the anti-arterial and anti-venous thrombosis effect of VSRN, respectively. Borns turbidimetric method was used to examine the in vivo and in vitro anti-platelet effect so as to investigate the antiplatelet aggregation of VSRN. Results In comparison with saline, VSRN in five different doses (1.25—20.00 ?g/kg) showed significantly and dose-dependently prolonged occlusion time (OT) of carotid artery injured by electrical stimulation and reduced thrombus dry weight of inferior vena cava ligated for 4 h to cause stasis. Platelet aggregation was found to be inhibited by VSRN in the doses of 1.25—5.00 ?g/kg and at the concentration of 6.25—50 ?g/L in both in vivo and in vitro test. Conclusion VSRN has powerful arteriovenous antithrombosis and antiplatelet aggregation of rats. The antithrombotic effect of VSRN is related to its platelet aggregation inhibitory activity. The above findings indicate that VSRN is an antithrombotic active ingredient of VnA.

Objective:To put forward a self-created aesthetic concept of " Five narrow and one low" and to evaluate the clinical effect of contouring the upper arm and its surrounding area under this concept.Methods:From January 2020 to January 2023, 55 female patients, aged 20 to 50 (mean age 33.0±6.4) years, had their upper arms and surrounding area contours shaped according to the concept of " five narrow and one low" in Changsha My Like Medical Cosmetology Hospital. Liposuction was performed in the upper arm, scapular area, accessory breast area, and armpit area under local swelling combined with sedation and anesthesia. After liposuction in the medial upper arm, bipolar radiofrequency Body Tite compression was performed. Multiple botulinum toxin injections were performed postoperatively in the bilateral traperius muscles. The maximum circumference and sag distance of upper arm of both sides before and after surgery were measured. Patients′ satisfaction was assessed by satisfaction questionnaire.Results:The patients were followed up for 1-6 months after operation, and the liposuction (minimum-maximum) of 55 cases was (1 200±383) ml. The maximum circumference of the left upper arm was (32.85±4.98) cm before surgery and (27.03±3.13) cm after surgery. The maximum circumference of the left upper arm was reduced by (18.65±2.79) %. The maximum circumferential diameter of the right upper arm was (33.3±5.3) cm before surgery and (27.23±3.30) cm after surgery. The maximum circumferential diameter of the right upper arm was reduced by (18.42±2.84) %. The maximum sag distance of the upper arm was (7.12±2.08) cm before surgery and (4.04±1.22) cm after surgery. The maximum sag distance of the upper arm was reduced by (43.22±4.08) %. All the follow-up patients believed that the aesthetic effect of " five narrow and one low" was achieved, the satisfaction score was 4.62±0.51, and no serious complications occurred.Conclusions:The application of the aesthetic concept of " Five narrow and on low" in the contour shaping of the upper arm and the surrounding aera can achieve a better uniform, smooth and smooth surgical effect.
