To Study Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) in the nasal cavity, raise the level of diagnosis and treatment for this disease. We reported a case with JXG and reviewed the literatures. JXG in nasal vestibule is ex tremely rare. Only three cases were reported before. After surgical removal,no recurrence was found over a 10-month follow-up. Clinical manifestations and imaging examination is nonspecific for JXG, and the diagnosis of the disease relies on pathological examination. Surgical resection is an effective treatment method.

Objective To analyse the detection rates and antibiotic resistance of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and to guide the clinical administration of treatment Methods Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli collected from clinical samples from January 2008 to December 2010 were tested by Phenotypic Confirmatory Test and confirmed by the method advised by NCCLs and drug-sensitivity was tested with K-B. Results Among the isolated 90 samples,49 strains were considered ESBLs-producing bacteria (54.4%) .with 52. 5% (31/59)of Klebsiella pneumonia and 58. 1% (18/31) of Escherichia coli respectively; with the specimens of respiratory system having the highest rate of 75. 5% (37/49). ESBLs producing bacteria were highly resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins, multi drug resistant to aminoglycosides and quinolones; low to piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoperazone/sulbactam,cefoxitin and amikacin; and all sensitive to imipenem. When compared to non-ESBLs producing strains, the rates of antibiotic resistance of the producing ESBLs strains were significantly higher. Conclusion The test results showed that the isolation rates of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in ICU were high,which had high resistance to most antimicrobial agents,and the resistance was multiple. Imipenem could be the best choice to control the infection due to ESBLs-producing organisms. Timely detection of ESBLs producing bacteria and drug resistance is essential to guide clinical antibiotic using in ICU.

Objective:To evaluate the expression of Vimentin and its relationship with clinical pathological data and prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).Methods:A total of 269 mRCC patients, from June 2007 to June 2017, treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were included in the study. Vimentin was assessed by immunohistochemistry on continuous paraffin embedded slides. To analyzed the relationship between Vimentin expression and clinicopathological data and prognosis. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD). The relationship between Vimentin expression and clinicopathological data of mRCC patients was determined by Chi-square test. Survival analysis used Kaplan-Meier survival curve, Log-rank test to judge the relationship between Vimentin expression and patient′s overall survival, and COX regression analysis was used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results:Vimentin was expressed in cytoplasm of tumor cells. Vimentin expression in mRCC patients′ tissues was positively correlated with tumor Fuhrman grade ( P=0.002), and negatively correlated with prognostic overall survival ( P=0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that Vimentin expression was an independent risk factor for overall survival in patients with mRCC ( P=0.006). Conclusions:Vimentin expression can be used as a prognostic indicator of mRCC. It is expected that Vimentin can provide prediction for the prognosis of mRCC patients treated with TKI.

Objectives: To evaluate the tumor-infiltrating PD-1 positive lymphocytes and regulatory T cells (Treg) as prognosis predic-tors of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), and investigate the expression of PD-1 and Treg cells in mRCC and elucidate their corre-lation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. Methods: A total of 269 mRCC patients from June 2007 to June 2017 in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, were included in the study. The expression of PD-1 and Tregs in mRCC samples were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the expression of PD-1 and Tregs was analyzed. Results: PD-1 positive expression in mRCC was 31.60% (85/269) and it was positively correlated with the tumor Fuhrman grade and negatively correlated with progno-sis. Tumor infiltration of Tregs in mRCC was 36.80% (99/269), and it was also positively correlated with the tumor Fuhrman grade and negatively correlated with prognosis. Univariate analysis showed that PD-1 positive lymphocytes and high Treg infiltration numbers were negatively correlated with overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) rates. Thus, PD-1 positive lymphocytes and high Treg infiltration numbers are independent prognostic indicators of OS and PFS and when combined, they can render a better pre-diction for prognosis. Conclusions: Intra-tumoral infiltration of PD-1 positive lymphocytes and Tregs can be used as significant prognos-tic indicators of mRCC, and the combined predictive effect is better than the individual predictive effect. Therefore, evaluating the number of PD-1 positive lymphocytes or infiltrating Tregs in mRCC is helpful in clinically estimating mRCC prognosis in patients.
