Objective:To study the clinicopathologic features、diagnosis and differential diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma.Methods:Two cases of epithelioid sarcoma were collected according to the classification of soft tissue and bone tumors(WHO,2002) and were studied by hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical staining.Results:One case was proximal type epithelioid sarcoma,and the other distal type epithelioid sarcoma.The case of distal type epithelioid sarcoma was female,twenty eight years old,and the site was the left leg;histological structure was the typical pseudo-granuloma formation,the tumor cells resembled epithelioid cells,with necrosis in the center.The case of proximal type epithelioid sarcoma was female,thirty six years old,and the site was the cervix;nodal formation can be observed,the tumor cells resembled spindle cells,abd the extent of necrosis was bigger.For the immunohistochemical staining,expressions of Vimentin、EMA and CK antigen were observed in the 2 cases,while expressions of Desmin、NSE and S-100 antigen were negative.Moreover,expressions of low CK and CD34 antigen were also observed in the case of distal type epithelioid sarcoma.On the other hand,expressions of Actin、SMA and HMB-45 antigen were not observed in the case of proximal type epithelioid sarcoma.Conclusions:Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare maliglant tumor of soft tissue,It's the key for diagnosis and differential diagnosis to combine clinic、histological structure、immunophenotype and prognosis together.

Interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) is a member of the ELR-CXC-chemokine family,a molecule which is paid close attention to current studies.IP-10 can inhibit neovascularization and exert its function on anti-fibrosis as it binds with CXCR3,the only specific receptor to IP-10.Accumulating evidences revealed that IP-10 also involved in the pathologic process of ocular neovascular diseases.It shows that IP-10 was closely associated with subclinical chronic inflammation and involved in the development of age-related macnlar degeneration (AMD),which would be used as a clinical biomaker to make a definite diagnosis of AMD.The IP-10/CXCR3 signal,expressed on the choroidal endothelial cells,had the ability of suppressing choroidal neovascularization.Moreover,the over expression of IP-10 in the lesions of AMD may be attributed to the induction efficacy of promoting anti-angiogenic factor expression,such as IP-10 by vascular endothelial growth factor.IP-10 had an important role in the pathogenic process of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and might be used as a new indicator to evaluate the severity and prognosis of DR.And IP-10 may have the ability to suppress proliferative DR by interrupting formation of new vessels and promoting fibrosis of new vessels.Experimental study showed that IP-10 can reduce corneal neovascularization by down-regulating the expression of proangiogenic cytokines indirectly and suppressing the migration of vascular endothelial cells and tubegenesis directly.IP-10 is involved in the development of retinopathy of prematurity and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.Given its unique biological characteristics,IP-10 is expected to be a molecular target to inhibit neovascularization in treatment for ocular neovascular diseases.This article reviews the recent progress in the studies on relationship between IP-10 and several common neovascular eye diseases.
