The superficial temporal artery and the occipital artery on both side of 50 Chinese adult cadavers were dissected and the course and distribution of these two arteries were studied and their length, external diameter, internal diameter and the thickness of the walls were meassured.1. The main stem of the superficial temporal arteries runs upward and forward in front of the orifice of the external auditory meatus at an angle on the average of 12.44?8.16? away from the vertical line. This artery was found in 68.68?4.66％ situated before the superficial temporal vein and auriculo-temporal nerve. The average length of the main stem is 3.88?1.04cm; the external diameter 1.64?0.42mm; the internal diameter 1.19?0.10 mm and the thickness of its wall 0.23?0.08 mm. 2. The parietal branch of the superficial temporal artery runs upwards and backwards to the vertex of the skull at an angle of 25.92?10.09 away from the vertical line. The average length is 7.56?1.63 cm. It may be classified into three typs: (1) the single-stem type (2) the bifurcate type (3) the double-stem type. The average external diameter of the branch is 1.24?0.28mm, the internal diameter 0.91?0.19mm, the thickness of its wall 0.17?0.06 mm. There arr 7.45?2.71％ of the cases that the internal diameter is less or equal to 0.5 mm.3. The frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery runs forwards and upwards to the frontal tuber or above the lateral-upper angle of the orbital, then turns upwards to the vertex of the skull. Its average external diameter is 1.31?0.35mm; the internal diameter, 0.91?0.29 mm, and the thickness of its wall, 0.18?0.08mm.4. The Occipital artery runs out to the skin through the fascia between the trapizius and sterocleidomastoid, but sometimes it porferates the muscular fibers of one of these two muscles. The point from which it runs out is located at 2.23?1.12 cm below the external occipital protuberans and 3.41?0.85cm lateral to the midline. Three types of the branching patterns were found: the main-stem, the bifurcate and the plexiform type. The average external dianeter of the occipital artery is 1.47?0.14 mm, the internal diameter,1.13?0.29 mm, and the thickness of its wall, 0.18?0.08mm.

Objective To elucidate the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with mercury poisoning-associated glomerulonephropathy. Methods Seven patients with mercury poisoning-associated glomerulonephropathy were enrolled in this study. The pattern of mercury exposure, feature of mercury toxicity, and clinicopathological presentation of the kidneys were investigated. Results They were all female, averaged (28.9 ±8.1) years old. Skin-whitening cream was the only cause of mercury poisoning. Proteinuria occurred 5 to 8 months after exposure. Serum mercury were 27.0 to 98.0 μg/L, and spot urinary mercury were 34.4 to 204.0 μg/L. The presentation of all the patients was mild to moderate edema with proteinuria and decreased serum albumin level. Five patients (5/7) were diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome. Six patients underwent renal biopsy: 3 cases with minimal change disease, 2 cases with membranous nephropathy and 1 case with focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. All the patients were administrated chelation therapy with sodium dimercaptopropanal sulfonate or sodium dimercaptosuccinic acid for 3 to 7 courses. They got complete remission by 3 to 5 weeks treatment. Conclusions Patients in this study with glomerulonephropathy induced by mercury poisoning are all from skin-whitening cream exposure. Mild to moderate edema and proteinuria are the common clinical pattern. Minimal change disease, membranous nephropathy and focal segmental glomerular sclerosis are found pathologically. Chelation therapy is effective.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of light chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT).Methods Nine patients with LCPT diagnosed by renal biopsy in Peking University First Hospital from January 1,2011 to September 30,2016 were enrolled,and their clinical findings and pathological features were reviewed.Immunofluorescence (IF) of light chains (κ,λ) on paraffin sections after protease digestion and immunogold labeling of light chains (κ,λ) on ultrathin sections were performed in some cases.Results The main clinical manifestation of the nine patients was proteinuria of small molecules,with acute or chronic renal insufficiency,and six of them led to partial or complete Fanconi syndrome (FS).The hematologic diseases included 3 cases of multiple myeloma and 6 cases of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS).Pathological examination of renal biopsy showed two types:crystalline and noncrystalline LCPT.Seven cases of crystalline LCPT were stained for κ light chain,the proximal tubular epithelial cytoplasm exhibited fine granular vacuolation,with needle-shaped crystals and clear clefts by light microscopy,the intracytoplasmic inclusions of various shapes including rhomboidal,rectangular and rod-shaped crystals were identified by electron microscopy.Two cases of noncrystalline LCPT were stained for λ light chain,the prominent argyrophilic granules in cytoplasm of proximal tubular epithelia were observed by light microscopy,and intracytoplasmic large and irregular shaped phagolysosomes were found by electron microscopy,cast nephropathy were coexisted in these 2 cases,the additional light chain deposition disease were confirmed in one of them by electron microscopy and IF.All cases had monotypic staining of light chains in cytoplasm of proximal tubules by IF on frozen tissue and paraffin sections after protease digestion,with the latter method being more sensitive than the routine IF.The immunogold labeling showed specific monotypic labeling of κ and λ light chain on intracytoplasmic crystals and phagolysosomes respectively by immunoelectron microscopy.Conclusions LCPT is a rarely reported entity that manifested as acquired Fanconi syndrome and dysfunction of proximal tubules clinically.Pathologically it is divided into two types:crystalline and noncrystalline LCPT,with more prevalent of κ light chain related crystalline type,noncrystalline LCPT is mostly λ type,and is easily coexisted with cast nephropathy.The IF and immunoelectron microscopy of light chains(κ,λ) and ultrastructural examination by electron microscopy are important methods for the diagnosis of LCPT.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of renal light and heavy chain amyloidosis (AHL).Methods:Ten patients with renal AHL diagnosed by renal biopsy in Peking University First Hospital and Institute of Nephrology of Peking University from January 2015 to June 2020 were enrolled. Clinicopathological data of these patients was collected and reviewed.Results:AHL typically affected older patients, with a male/female ratio of 7:3. The clinical manifestations were mainly edema and heavy proteinuria. At the same time, 7/10 of patients presented with nephrotic syndrome, 7/10 presented with microscopic hematuria, and 3/10 presented with renal insufficiency. Laboratory examinations showed monoclonal immunoglobulin in blood and urine in all patients, and IgGλ was the most common one (5/10). Decreased serum complement could be seen in some patients. The ratio of serum free κ light chain and free λ light chain was abnormal in all patients who underwent serum free light chain test. None of the 10 patients met the diagnostic criteria of multiple myeloma. Except for one of the 10 patients who was diagnosed as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, the rest were diagnosed as monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). Bone marrow of 2/6 of patients were positive for amyloid. Cardiac involvement was confirmed in only one patient. Renal biopsy demonstrated amorphous eosinophilic material, which was Congo red positive, was deposited in glomerular mesangial area (10/10), capillary vessels (8/10), renal interstitium (9/10), peritubular capillary walls (9/10) and arterioles (8/10). This material showed apple green birefringence under polarized light. Immunofluorescence showed that single heavy chain and single light chain were positive at the same time, which was consistent with the results of mass spectrometry analysis. Ultrastructural evaluation revealed randomly oriented, non-branching fibrils with a diameter of 8-12 nm.Conclusions:Main clinical manifestations of AHL amyloidosis are edema and massive proteinuria, along with a high incidence of hematuria, a low portion of heart involvement and high frequency of whole molecule of monoclonal immunoglobulin (IgGλ dominant) by serum immunofixation electrophoresis. Renal pathology shows the commonly involved kidney compartments of amyloid deposits are glomerular capillary walls and peritubular capillary walls in patients with AHL amyloidosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of cranial-cervical aneurysms with stent-graft.

METHODSClinical data of 20 patients with cranial-cervical aneurysm treated with stent-graft in Department of Neurosurgery, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University from November 2006 to November 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 male and 5 female patients with a mean age of 40 years (ranging from 22 to 67 years). There were 10 spontaneous cases, 5 trauma history cases and 5 surgery history cases. Postoperative follow-up were made by telephone, CT angiography or digital subtraction angiography, evaluating therapeutic effect.

RESULTSTwenty-four stent-grafts placement were carried out in 20 patients and all of them were successfully deployed in the parent artery. Intraoperative stent malapposition induced endoleak occurred in 3 cases, incomplete coverage of distal stent segment in 2 cases, acute thrombosis in 1 case and vessel lesion in 1 case. Eighteen cases were radiographically cured while the other 2 cases improved through additional stent placement, coil embolization or artery thrombolysis. Clinical symptoms of post-operative patients were improved to varying degrees. Follow-up of 1 to 96 months (average of 19 months) were accomplished. Delayed parent artery occlusion were encountered in 2 cases while endoleak still existed in 1 case.

CONCLUSIONApplication of stent-graft for cranial-cervical aneurysms is safe and effective and the short-term follow-up results are satisfied.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of trans-acting factor(s) on rat glutathione S-transferase P1 gene (rGSTP1) transcription regulation in tumor cells.

METHODSThe binding of trans-acting factor(s) to two enhancers of the rGSTP1 gene, glutathione S-transferase P enhancer I (GPEI) and glutathione S-transferase P enhancer II-1 (GPE II-1), was identified by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The molecular weight of trans-acting factor was measured in a UV cross-linking experiment.

RESULTSTrans-acting factor interacting with the core sequence of GPEI (cGPEI) were found in human cervical adenocarcinoma cell line (HeLa) and rat hepatoma cell line (CBRH7919). These proteins were not expressed in normal rat liver. Although specific binding proteins that bound to GPE II-1 were detected in all three cell types, a 64 kDa binding protein that exists in HeLa and CBRH7919 cells was absent in normal rat liver.

CONCLUSIONcGPEI, GPEII specific binding proteins expressed in HeLa and CBRH7919 cells may play an important role in the high transcriptional level of the rGSTP1 gene in tumor cells.
