Objective To explore the value of morphometric quantitative parameters in differential diagnosis of common thyroid benign and malignant tumors, and establish a data bank as a basis for diagnosing diseases with the help of computer. Methods Using PIPS-2020 image analysis system to make a morphometric analysis in 32 cases of thyroid benign papillary lesion (TBPL), 32 cases of thyroid papillary adenocarcinoma(TPAC), 27 cases of thyroid follicular adenoma(TFA) and 24 cases of thyroid follicular adenocarcinoma(TFAC). Results Among many morphometric quantitative parameters of nuclei, eight including area, circumferential length, diameter,volume,long diameter, short diameter, largest to smallest diameter ratio, and circular rate were selected to analyze. The eight morphometric quantitative parameters between TFA and TFAC had a highly significant difference(P0.01). Conclusion These nuclear parameters have some value in differentiation of common thyroid benign and malignant tumors.

Chongqing Medicine 2017;46(7):919-922
Objective To investigate the expressions of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1R) and cytokeratin17 (CK17) in papillary thyroid cancer tissue and clinicopathological significance.Methods The immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting method were employed to detect the expressions of GLP-1R and CK17 in normal thyroid tissues (control group,50 cases) and papillary thyroid cancer tissue (observation group,80 cases).Then the correlation between the expressions of GLP-1R and CK17 with pathological factors of thyroid cancer was analyzed.Results Low expression of GLP-1R was found in 22 cases (44.00 %) of the control group,while GLP-1R was expressed in 77 cases(96.25 %) of the observation group,and the difference between both groups was statistically significant(P<0.01).The expression of CK17 was positive in 8 cases(16.00%) of the control group,while 77 cases(96.25 %) in the observation group were CK17 expression positive,and the difference between both groups was statistically significant(P<0.01).The difference between GLP-1 positive expression and clinicopathologic factors had no statistical significance(P>0.05).The difference between CK17 expression with sex and age had no statistical significance (P>0.05),and was obviously related with the tumor diameter,clinical stages and cervical node metastasis of thyroid neoplasms(P<0.05).Conclusion GLP-1R and CK17 all are highly expressed in papillary thyroid cancer tissue and CK17 expression is obviously related with the tumor diameter,clinical stages and cervical node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristic and drug resistance of respiratory tract pathogens in ICU eld‐erly patients to provide the basis for clinical medication and control of nosocomial infection .Methods The isolation situation and drug resistance of pathogens in ICU elderly patients with respiratory tract infection from January 2012 to December 2014 were ret‐rospectively analyzed .Results Among 501 cases of respiratory tract infection ,350 cases were Gram‐negative bacilli infection ,which were mainly P .aeruginosa and A .baumannii;50 cases were Gram‐positive coccus infection ,which was mainly S .aureus ;101 cases were complicating fungal infection ,which was mainly C .albicans .The resistance of P .aeruginosa to imipenem showed upward trend (P<0 .05) ,A .baumannii had higher resistance to commonly used antimicrobial drugs ,but the drug resistance trend had no obvious change(P>0 .05) .Imipenem‐resistant A .bauman(IRAB) ,ESBLs‐producing E .coli and methicillin‐resistant S .aureus (MRSA) in the elderly patients with respiratory tract infection all exceeded 50% of each constitution ratio .Conclusion Multi‐drug resistant bacteria are usually isolated from ICU elderly patients ,their drug resistance rates maintain a higher level .Therefore clinicians should rationally select antibacterial drugs by combining with the laboratory reports ,increase the prevention and management of multi‐drug resistant bacteria and reduce the nosocomial infection occurrence .

A 18-year-old male patient's case was diagnosed as Degos'disease with pathognomonic skin lesions,accompanied by small bowel perforation,and reported here. Skin histopothological test show that the typical wedge-shaped necrobiosis and lymphocyte inflammatory infiltration. Vessels showed narrowing and thrombosis,with lymphocyte infiltration. Degos'disease is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis. Skin biopsy can confirm its diagnosis. Severe systemic complication should be prevented. Degos'disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions associated with systemic involvement.
