Purpose To analyze the clinical and pathological features of intracranial tumor in children. Methods 221 cases of in-tracranial tumors in children ( ages≤18 years) were retrospectively analyzed. Results The cases of intracranial tumor in children ac-counted for 7. 21% of total cases in our hospital during the same period. There is no documented gender bias. There were only 14 cases (6. 33%) with age less than 3 years old. The supratentorial tumors were 153 cases (69. 23%) and infratentorial tumors were 68 cases (30. 77%) . The most frequently affected sites were the cerebral hemispherse, sellar region, vermis and the fourth ventricle. There were 89 benign tumor and 132 malignant tumor in this series of cases. The most common five tumors were astrocytic tumors (30. 32%), embryonal tumors (19. 00%), craniopharyngiomas (11. 76%), ependymal tumors (8. 14%) and germ cell tumors (5. 88%). Conclusion The morbidity of intracranial tumors in children has increased in the recent years. The histological classifica-tion of intracranial tumors in children is multiple and it is essential to make a correct diagnosis.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of wolffian adnexal tumour ( WAT) . Meth-ods The clinical and pathological features analysis and immunohistochemistry methods were utilized to study the histopathology features of a case Wolffian adnexal tumor. Results One case of unilateral WAT which located in broad ligament display a solid-cystic mass with pedicled and enveloped,its histology showed large and small tubulars,screen structure and solid zone. Its immunohistochemistry staining was positive for pan-cytokeratin,vimentin,CK18 and CD99,positive staining for α-inhibin in a little tumor cell,and negative for calretinin,CD10,EMA, ER,PR,Syn,CA15-3,CA19-9,Ki-67 index is less than 5%. PAS positive staining for the basement membrane around Gland like structure. Conclusion Wolffian adnexal tumour is diagnosised by its histopathological,immunohistochemical and it’ s distinctive location where Wolffi-an duct remnants are found.

The antigens(3C9Ag)which could be recognized by the anti-lung cancer monoclonal antibody 3Ca were assayed with BA-ELISA immunobinding inhibition test in 50 lung cancer patients,21 patients with non-cancerous pulmonary diseases and 40 normal subjects.Meanwhile radioimmunoassay was used to determine serum CEA.It was found that the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy for 3C9Ag to diagnose lung cancer were 76%,90.5% and 80.3% respectively.Much higher positive rates could be found in NSCLC patients and in those with stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ cancer.3CsAg was superior to CEA in its sensitivity and accurracy.Combined assay with 3C9Ag and CEA could increase the positive rate.

Objective To study the relationship between serum adiponectin and insulin resistance in wo men with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods Forty women with PCOS and twenty five healthy women were divided into PCOS obese group [body weight index(BMI)≥25kg/m 2], PCOS non-obese group(BMI

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of less invasive surfactant administration(LISA) of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS).Methods:From July 2017 to December 2018, 50 premature infants with birth weight ≤1 500 g and/or gestational age≤32 weeks diagnosed as NRDS at the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were randomly divided into LISA group( n=25)and INSURE group( n=25). The patients in LISA group was inserted fine duct into the trachea through direct laryngoscope under nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and pulmonary surfactant was injected.The INSURE group adopts endotracheal intubation-pulmonary surfactant-nCPAP was performed after unplugging.The changes of vital signs, blood gas indexes, adverse reactions and the incidence of complications were compared between two groups at different time points. Results:There was no significant difference in respiration, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and PaO 2, PaCO 2, BE, SpO 2 between two groups at different administration time points.Although the pH value of LISA group was lower than that of INSURE group, it was within the normal range.There was no significant difference in bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leucomalacia and other complications between two groups, and there was no death, air leakage, retinopathy of prematurity and pulmonary hemorrhage in both two groups.In addition, there was no significant difference in hospitalization days, total medical expenses, oxygen use time between the two groups(all P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with INSURE technology, LISA technology has its feasibility for premature infants with NRDS, but the effectiveness and safety in the practical application need to be further confirmed.

Objective To explore MRI features of spinal canal enterogenous cysts.Methods The MRI features and differential diagnosis of 5 patients with spinal canal enterogenous cysts proved by surgery and pathology were reviewed retrospectively in combination with literature review.Results Of 5 cases,the cysts localized at cervical spine in 2,lumbar spine in 1,lumbosacral spine in 1 and the end of coccyx between rectum and cuticulum in 1.4 cysts were located at subdura,including anterior to the spinal cord in 3 and posterior to the spinal cord in 1.1 cyst located the end of coccyx between rectum and cuticulum was uncommunicated with spinal canal and 1 case associated with diastematomyelia.The spinal cords were compressed and displaced.The cysts were iso or slightly hyperintensity compared to CSF on T1WI,and similar intensity to CSF on T2WI.The cysts had no markedly enhancement on contrast-enhanced MR scan.Conclusion MRI has important value in diagnosing spinal enterogenous cysts.

Objective To study cancer metastasis in mesorectum and ischiorectal loss in cases of ultra-low rectal cancer and evaluate the rationale of Miles procedure. Methods Whole-mount slice and tissue mieroarray technique were used to study the dissected specimen from 23 cases of uhra-low rectal cancer for metastatic lymph nodes. Result 415 lymph nodes were harvested in 23 mesorectum specimen, 169 and 59 lymph nodes were metastasic and micrometastasie respectively. 12 eases were diagnosed with metastasis, 4 cases were found to have micrometastasis. Metastatic lymph nodes in the lateral and anterior mesorectum were 29.0% (49/169) and 17.2% (29/169) respectively. There were 2 patients with metastasis and 1 with micrometsstssis in ischiorectal fossa lymph nodes, accounting for 13% patients. Conclusion Regional metastasis exists in ultra-low rectal cancer and its incidence varies in different location of mesorectum and ischiorectal fessa. The value of Miles procedure as the standard therapy for ultra-low rectal cancer should undergo an evaluation.
