OBJECTIVETo explore roles of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and nuclear factor (NF) -KB in expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in rat alveolar macrophages induced by high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1 ).
METHODSPrimary rat alveolar macrophages (PRAMs) cultured in vitro were incubated with PD98059 ( inhibitor against ERK), SB203580 (inhibitor against p38 MAPK) , PDTC (inhibitor against NF-kappaB), or PD98059 plus SB203580 for 2 hours, respectively. HMGB1 was added into the cultures and incubated with cells for 6 hours. Total RNA of PRAMs was extracted and iNOS mRNA expression was semi-quantified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR). Greiss reaction was applied to determine nitrite/nitrate (NO2-/NO3- ) concentration in PRAMs culture supernatants.
RESULTSExpression of iNOS mRNA and NO production in PRAMs culture supernatants were down-regulated by inhibition of ERK or p38 MAPK by PD98059 or SB203580, respectively (P <0. 05). Moreover, inhibition of iNOS expression and NO production was observed after simultaneous pretreatment with PD98059 and SB203580 (P < 0. 05). Expression of iNOS mRNA in PRAMs and NO production in PRAMs culture supernatants were down-regulated by inhibition of NF-kappaB by PDTC (P <0. 05).
CONCLUSIONCellular signal molecules of ERK, p38 MAPK, and NF-kappaB all participate in the expression of iNOS and NO production in PRAMs induced by HMGB1.

OBJECTIVETo describe the clinicopathologic features and immunophenotypes of carcinoid tumorlets in the lung with bronchiectasis, and to study the morphogenesis of these tiny tumors.
METHODSThe histopathologic characteristics of 3 bronchiectasis cases with carcinoid tumorlets, 11 bronchiectasis and 2 normal lungs were studied. Specific markers of the tiny tumors and the number of neuroendocrine cells (NECs) in the airway mucosa were immunohistochemically detected by EnVision method.
RESULTSThe tumorlets in the lungs presented as multi-focal nodules and most were displayed only under microscopy. These cells were arranged in clusters and foci of fascicles which were situated in the surrounding bronchial wall and bronchioles adjacent to bronchiectatic lesion, or in the scar tissues. The tiny tumors were consisted of short fusiform cells and small ovoid cells. Their nuclei were circular, oval or long fusiform and the cells were strongly argyrophilic on Grimelius staining. Intensive positive immunostaining for calcitonin, chromogranin A, NSE and gastrin were detected. Weak positive for CK, EMA, S-100 and focal positive for HC, ACTH, 5-HT were also observed. Proliferative NECs in airway mucosa adjacent to the tiny tumors increased significantly in number, compared with those in the airway mucosa of bronchiectasis without tumorlets and normal lungs (P < 0.001, respectively).
CONCLUSIONSThe clinicopathologic features and immunophenotypes of carcinoid tumorlets resemble carcinoid tumors. They are the early stage of carcinoid development. Their development may be related to the chronic pulmonary damage resulting in hypoxia and stimulating the proliferation of NECs. These pulmonary carcinoid tumorlets can be used as a model to study the tumorigenesis of carcinoid carcinoma of the lung.

OBJECTIVETo study the mutations in exon 5 of IkappaBalpha gene and their significance in Hodgkin lymphoma.
METHODSCD30-positive Reed-Sternberg cells and surrounding reactive lymphocytes were selected by laser microdissection technology from 6 microm-thick histologic sections of 7 Hodgkin lymphoma cells studied. Genomic DNA of these cells was extracted according to Qiagen micro DNAkit guide. Semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing were used to analyze exon 5 of IkappaBalpha gene.
RESULTSA mutation in exon 5 was identified in 3 of the 7 Hodgkin lymphoma cases. No mutation found in the surrounding reactive lymphocytes. The mutation site was located at codon 2084 (T-A, NT_026437), resulting in formation of a stop codon.
CONCLUSIONThe mutation identified in exon 5 of the IkappaBalpha gene in Hodgkin lymphoma may play a role in the pathogenesis of Hodgkin lymphoma.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathologic feature, immunophenotype and differential diagnosis of cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease (CRDD).
METHODSClinical manifestation, morphologic features and immunohistochemical staining were studied in 8 cases of CRDD.
RESULTSAll 8 patients presented with multiple papules, nodules and/or coalescent patches or plaques distributing over the extremities or trunk, without lymphadenopathy or other systemic abnormalities. Microscopically, the lesions were located intradermally and/or subcutaneously. CRDD was characterized by the presence of S-100 positive histiocytic cells exhibiting emperipolesis, accompanying with infiltration of mixed inflammatory cells. Fibrosis, somewhere in vague storiform pattern due to stromal responses, with distribution of individual neutrophil microabscess was seen in cases with a long course of illness. Dilated vascular spaces in dermis containing numerous large typical histiocytes were seen in 2 cases.
CONCLUSIONSCRDD is a benign, persistent proliferative disease of histiocytes. Systemic involvement is rare, outcome favorable. It should be differentiated from other types of histiocytosis, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, xanthoma and lymphoproliferative disorders. Immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein and CD68 is helpful in making a correct diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the morphological and genetic characteristics in salivary gland marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas.
METHODSTwenty-eight cases of MALT lymphomas of salivary gland were collected from Department of Pathology, Cancer Hospital of Fudan University. Morphological review based on HE sections, and specific chromosomal abnormalities were detected by two-color interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Four different probes were available to detect for API2-MALT1 fusion gene, bcl-10, IgH and MALT1 gene, respectively.
RESULTSThere were 16 females and 12 males, median age was 52. In those cases, 18 originated from parotid gland, 6 from submandibular and 4 from sublingual gland. Ten were localized mass and 18 were masses diffusely involved the glands. According to the clinical information, only 8 cases showed symptoms of dry mouth, dry nose or dry eye. Pathological findings showed that all cases had a dense lymphoid infiltration and obliteration and atrophy of acini and ducts. Twenty-two (78.6%) showed prominent monocytoid B cells and more often formed broad halos around epithelial islands. Eighteen (64.3%) showed clusters of lymphoblastic cells or plasma cells, Russel' and Dutcher' body were easily seen. Ten (35.7%) showed nerve or blood vessel infiltration. Interphase FISH showed that 3 cases harbored t(11;18) and 2 cases harbored trisomy 18, but none of all found IgH and bcl-10 translocations. After operation, 22 patients' follow-up information was available. One case died on 15 months later after operation, the rest of 21 cases were alive. Except surgical resection, patients did not get systematic radio-or chemotherapy. Eight to fifteen months after operation, 8 cases found recurred nodules on the original resected sites or cervical lymph nodes, but did not get repeated biopsy. All follow-up time was from 23 to 54 months.
CONCLUSIONSMost salivary MALT lymphomas are arising from parotid glands. Most patients do not have the symptoms of the Sjogren's syndrome. The final diagnosis depends on the pathological findings, the number and distribution of monocytoid B cells and clusters of plasmacytoid cells are hints for diagnosis of salivary MALT lymphomas, invasion of blood vessels or nerve also help for malignant diagnosis. t(11;18) and trisomy 18 may be the main chromosomal abnormalities in salivary gland MALT lymphomas, but with low morbidity. This genetic characteristic may connect with the low malignancy and slow progression in biological behavior.

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common acute abdomen clinical problem characterized by high mortality, multiple complications, complicated pathogenesis and difficult treatment. Recent studies found traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers have markedly good effect for treating SAP. Many TCM monomers can inhibit pancreatin, resist inflammation, improve microcirculation and immunoloregulation, etc. to block the pathological progress of SAP in multiple ways, reduce complications and lower mortality with rapid effects. It is significant for enhancing SAP treatment to deeply understand the current situation in TCM monomers for treating SAP and take precious references therein. This article summarizes the treating effects and mechanisms of TCM monomers for SAP in recent years.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and glutathione (GSH) in treating chronic hepatitis B patients.
METHODSSeventy-five patients with chronic hepatitis B were treated daily with an injection containing the same basic therapeutic drugs and randomly divided into a NAC group (50 patients) and a GSH group (25 patients). A daily dose of 8 grams of NAC and 1.2 grams of GSH was added to the injections of the two groups respectively. The trial lasted 28 days. Hepatic function and other biochemistry parameters (TBil, PTA, ALB et al) were tested on experimental day 0 and on days 7, 14, 21 and 28. The evaluation on the total effective rates of the NAC and GSH groups was based on the decreases of serum TBil and the increases of PTA.
RESULTSBoth NAC and GSH have therapeutic effects. The total effective rate was 84% in the NAC group and 72% in the GSH group. The rate of side effects was 13% in the NAC group.
CONCLUSIONNAC and GSH can decrease the level of serum TBil and increase PTA, but NAC was more effective in decreasing TBil than GSH. Serious adverse effects of NAC were not observed during the period of our treatment.
