Paraneoplastic pemphigus(PNP) is a clinically, histologically, and immunopathologically distinct autoimmune bullous disease characterized by severe painful mucosal erosions and polymorphous skin lesions. Histopathology shows acantholysis with lichenoid dermatitis or keratinocyte necrosis, and there are autoantibodies to various epidermal proteins with underlying neoplasia. We report two cases of paraneoplastic pemphigus in China firstly. The clinical, histologic, and immunopathologic findings of both cases strongly suggest the diagnosis of paraneoplastic pemphigus associated with Castleman′ s tumor.

Objective To investigate the influence of different diluents(physiologic saline, dis-tilled water and human inactivated serum) on measurement of 15 items of biochemical parameters.Methods Fifteen items of biochemical parameters [alanine transaminase(ALT), aspartic transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase( ALP), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase ( GGT), creatine kinase ( CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LD), hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(HBDH), total bilirubin(TBIL), direct bilirubin(DBIL), total bile acid(TBA), ereatinine(Cr), uric acid(UA), eholesterol(CHO), glucose (GLU), and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)] were chosen. For each parameter, 45 serum samples with different eoncentrations of the parameter were collected. After diluted with different diluents(physio-logic saline, distilled water or human inactivated serum), the serum samples were detected by applying the fully automated biochemical analyzer. The mean value was calculated and statistical analysis was performed. Results There were some differences of detection results when the specimens were diluted with different diluents. ALT, AST, GGT, DBIL, and HBDH serum samples could be diluted by 10 times with physiologic saline, distilled water or human inactivated serums ALP and TBA serum sam-ples could only be diluted with inactivated serum, otherwise its result would be lower; GLU, TBIL samples could be diluted with distilled water and inactivated serums for BUN, CR, UA, CK, LDH,and CHO samples, physiologic saline or human inactivated serum might be optimal; if distilled water was chosen, the results of other parameters tented to decline except UA. It was BUN was improper to dilute the BUN samples with distilled water. In addition, there was no significant difference between the items diluted by 5 times and 10 times with physiologic saline. All the 15 items could be diluted with inactivated serum. Conclusion The inactivated serum should be the first choice of diluents to e-nure the accurate results of biochemical parameters. If the prepared inactivated serum is absent, we may choose other diluents according to the above-mentioned results.

Objective To clone human neuron-specific enolase (NSE)gene and prepare the monoclonal antibodies against human neuron-specific enolase and to test the expression of NSE in tumor cell lines by immunocytochemistry (ICC).Methods The gene fragment of human NSE was amplified by RT-PCR and ligated to the pGEM vector. After the sequencing of recombinant NSE, it was ligated to the expression vector pMS-31b. The MS2-NSE fusion protein was expressed after higher temperature induction. The purified target protein was used for immunizing BALB/C mice to prepare McAbs against NSE.Results Full length of NSE gene with 1 305 bp was cloned. Molecular weight of MS2-NSE was 57 000. 1.42 mg/L of MS2-NSE fusion protein could be expressed. Two strains of hybridoma secreting NSE McAbs were obtained by ELISA screening. The subtypes of the NSE McAbs were IgG1and IgG2a. The two McAbs could react with A549 cell lines in ICC. NSE positive staining in ICC was mainly located in cytoplasm.Conclusions We clone human neuron-specific enolase gene, obtain the anti-NSE monoclonal antibodies and examine the expression of NSE in lung cancer tumor cell line.
