Objective To study the pathological,ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features of kidney oncocytoma (RO). Methods The clinical and histological features of 13 patients (5 men and 8 women;mean age,58 years,age 44 -78 years) with RO were observed.Immunohistochemical staining was performed on paraffin-embedded tissues with a panel of antibodies including vimentin,EMA,ckpan,CK7,CK18,E-cadherin,CD10,RCC,CD117,34βE12,HMB45,s-100 and Ki-67.Of the 13 cases,10were found incidentally during a health examination while the other three cases presented with lumbago and discomfort of the lumber.Four cases were analyzed by electron microscopy.Eleven were treated with radical nephrectomy and 2 with partial nephrectomy. Results Histologically,the tumor cells were mainly arranged in closely packed nests,aciniform or tubule with an occasional microcystic pattern in loose edematous hypocellular fibrous stroma.Tumor cells had moderate to abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm with a small,round and uniform nucleus containing finely and evenly dispersed chromati.However,focal nuclear atypia were observed with no mitotic activity.Immunohistochemically,all cases were diffusely positive for CK18 and showed variable immunoreactivity for E-cadherin,CD117,CD10 and CK7.Twelve cases were positive for EMA. All cases were negative for vimentin,34βE12,HMB45 and s-100.The proliferative index (Ki-67) was very low in all cases,with less than 1% of the nuclei labeled.Electronic microscopy showed the cytoplasm had abundant mitochondria with lamellar cristae.Follow-up on 10 patients ( range from 2 to 67months) showed no recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions Tumor cells arranged in nests with loose hypocellu]ar and edematous stroma is the most important histological feature of RO.The immunohistochemical features could be helpful for both diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: It is difficult to in vitro isolate and culture the ovarian surface epithelium with high purity, strong vitality and stable biological characteristics. Tissue adherence and enzymatic digestion are commonly used for primary culture, but there are certain problems in cel col ection, cel viability and cel purity. OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for primary isolating, culturing and identifying human ovarian epithelium. METHODS: The ovarian surface epithelium was obtained with cel brush innovatively, and then the cells were isolated and purified with erythrocyte spal ation and differential adherence. The epidermal growth factor was added into the serum-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium-F12 medium for cel culture. The cel morphology was observed under inverted microscope, and hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunocytochemical staining were used to identify the cells, then the growth curve was draw. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The ovarian surface epithelium became adherent after cultured for 24 hours, and reached fusion basical y after cultured for 6-12 days. The cells were polygonal or flat with strong transparency and refraction. The morphological characteristics of the cells were in line with those of the normal epithelial cells, and almost al the isolated cells could express the epithelial cells surface marker CK19. The cells could be passaged for 6-8 generations with wel growth and the cel growth curve was in “S” shape. The purity of the cells was more than 95%. The results suggest that cel brush method is simple to operate and can obtain a large amount of ovarian surface epithelium rapidly. The purity of the isolated cells can reach to 95% after treated with erythrocyte spal ation and differential adherence method and the cells are in stable growth.

Newborn brain damage is the main cause of new-borns' death and disabilities.Current research difficulties lie in analyzing characteristics of cerebral injuries,making objective prognosis and early intervention,as well as analysis of therapeutic effects after recovery.Since subjects are not requested to complete complex tasks while doing resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) tests,rs-fMRI is reckoned to be suitable for neonatal brain function research.So far,most rs-fMRI reports regarding cerebral injury are for adults,with only a few have been done on neonates.Foreign research are mainly focused on new borns' brain development.If relevant rs-fMRI research can be done on newborn brain damage,it would be helpful to accurately evaluate structure and function of patients' brain tissue damage.Further research can provide more valuable information in clinics.
