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.

According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 patients were enrolled in the final study, there were 14 males and 9 females, the mean and median age was 37.6±19.9 and 35.0 years respectively. 23 patients included 3 cases of giant cell tumor, 4 cases of metastatic cancer, 4 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, 2 cases of osteosarcoma, 2 cases of aneurysmal bone cyst, 1 angiosarcoma, 1 primary malignacy in giant cell tumor, 1 low-grade central osteosarcoma, 1 parosteosarcoma, 1 synovial sarcoma, 1 plasma cell myeloma, 1 tendon sheath giant cell tumor and 1 case of mixed tumor. There were 6 cases of benign tumor, 4 cases of low grade sarcoma and 13 cases of high grade malignancy. With 19 cases of distal humerus, 3 cases of proximal ulna and 1 case of elbow. Each patient underwent tumor resection followed by restrictive tumor prosthesis and semi-restrictive of coonrad-morrey prosthesis were used for reconstruction.The duration of the operation, the amount of blood loss, epidemiological data, reconstruction length, oncology parameter, complications and functional evaluation were enrolled and statistical analyzed.Results:The mean length of the osteotomy followed by reconstruction was 12.5±3.9 cm, the mean operative time was 154.1±50.1 minutes, and the mean bleeding was 262.2±100.9 ml. Thirteen patients were treated with customized tumor limited prosthesis while 10 patients with Coonrad-Morrey semi-limited prosthesis. The 5-year survival rates of 23 patients was 64.3%, benign tumors, low-grade and high-grade malignancies were 100%, 100% and 39.7%, respectively. Three cases of lung cancer and three cases of Ewing's sarcoma died during the follow-up period (6/23, 26.1%), one case of giant cell tumor and one case of synovial sarcoma developed local recurrence (2/23, 8.7%). The median range of motion for the elbow increased from 35 to 85 degrees ( t=-13.787, P<0.05), the median NRS score decreased from 5.0 to 0.5 ( t=14.391, P<0.05). Postoperative complications occurred in 9 cases (9/23, 39.1%), the recent complications were nerve injury in 4 cases and infection in 1 case, late complications were prosthesis loosening and failure in 4 cases, the 5 year survival rate of prosthesis was 82.0%. The mean and median MSTS 93 score was 84.5%±11.0% and 88.3% respectively. Conclusion:The local control around the elbow is satisfactory after tumor resection. Total elbow arthroplasty can relieve pain and significantly improve function.

Objective:To investigate relationships between nasal parasitism by Demodex mites and nasal skin microbiome in patients with rosacea. Methods:From May 2017 to June 2019, 14 patients with rosacea, including 8 with early-stage rosacea and 6 with intermediate-stage rosacea, and 14 human controls with healthy facial skin were collected from Department of Dermatology, Shunde District Center for Prevention and Cure of Chronic Disease of Foshan City. Microbial samples were collected from the nasal alar and nasolabial folds of the subjects. Then, DNA was extracted from the samples, and subjected to metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Relative abundance of strains was estimated by using composition ratios of Demodex mites and microbial reads. Shannon index was calculated to evaluate α diversity of microbiome, and principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to assess β diversity based on relative abundance of microbial species. Enumeration data were compared by using two-independent-sample t test, and relationships between nasal Demodex mites and skin microbiome were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The relative abundance of nasal Demodex mites was significantly higher in the rosacea group (1.647% ± 0.389%) than in the healthy group (0.448% ± 0.089%, t = 2.92, P = 0.007) . The relative abundance of Demodex mites was negatively correlated with the relative abundance of bacteria ( r = -0.95, P < 0.001) , and positively correlated with the relative abundance of fungi ( r = 0.76, P < 0.001) . The Shannon indices of nasal bacterial and fungal communities were significantly higher in the rosacea group (0.91 ± 0.17, 1.261 ± 0.045, respectively) than in the healthy group (0.47 ± 0.12, 0.549 ± 0.071, t = 2.17, 8.48, respectively, both P < 0.05) ; PCA showed that the β diversity of bacterial communities significantly differed between the rosacea group and healthy group ( t = 2.32, P = 0.029) , while no significant difference in the β diversity of fungal communities was observed between the two groups ( t = 0.82, P = 0.461) . In addition, the relative abundance of Demodex mites was significantly higher in the patients with intermediate-stage rosacea than in those with early-stage rosacea ( t = 6.56, P < 0.001) ; there was no significant difference in the Shannon indices of nasal bacterial or fungal communities between the two patient groups (both P > 0.05) ; PCA showed that the β diversities of bacterial and fungal communities significantly differed between the two patient groups (both P < 0.05) . Conclusion:Parasitism of Demodex mites on the nasal skin may affect nasal microbial community structure.
