Objective To investigate the manifestations of CT and MRI images of paranasal sinuses sarcoma, improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Methods Make retrospective analysis of our hospital from January 2008 to January 2014,36 patients with pathologically confirmed nasal sinuses sarcoma in patients with CT and MRI imaging data, to explore the value of imaging diagnosis. Results The MRI sarcoma typically presents with slight long T1 and slight long T2 signal,enhanced moderately enhanced. 36 cases of lesions center located in the sphenoid region, in maxillary sinus in 6 cas-es. The CT diagnosis of paranasal sinuses sarcoma of the lesion was a total of 27 cases(75.00%),the MRI can provide the diagnosis of paranasal sinuses sarcoma in 35 cases(97.22%),two methods had significant difference (χ2=7.43,P<0.05). Conclusion CT can effectively show the sinus bone destruction, MRI could clearly display the lesion's extent,the combination of image can provide more comprehensive information for the diagnosis and treatment of the Sinus.

Objective Non-muscle myosin heavy chain ⅡA (NMHC ⅡA ) plays a significant role in tumor progression and metastasis .Our prior study showed that the expression of NMHC ⅡA was much higher in human bladder cancer sample than that in adjacent tissue .The increased level of NM HC ⅡA expression was correlated with worse prognosis .However ,the role of NMHC ⅡA is unknown in the invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer .Methods RT-PCR and western blotting were used to examine NMHC ⅡA expression lev-els in normal bladder epithelial cells and bladder cancer cell lines .T he migration and invasion ability of cells was tested by wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay ,respectively .Results Our study showed that knockdown of NMHC ⅡA inhibited migration and invasion in bladder cancer cell line .Conclusion The study indicated that NM HC ⅡA expression increased the invasion and metastasis ability of bladder cancer cell line in vitro .

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of children with drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome(DIHS)complicated with herpesvirus reactivation,and to promote the early and accurate identification,diagnosis,and treatment of DIHS in children.Methods The medication history,clinical manifestations,treatment,and prognosis of 12 children confirmed DIHS complicated with herpesvirus reactivation in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between January 2018 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The changes in hematological parameters,inflammatory indexes,and hepatic and renal function within 5 d before the eruption,5 d,and 6-10 d after eruption were compared.Results Of the 12 patients,the male-to-female ratio was 5∶1,with a median age of 27(interquartile range 20.50-34.75)months.Two or more antibiotics were used at least two to six weeks before onset,with a combination of 3 or more antibiotics in 7 children,and a combined or sequential application of 2 antibiotics in 5 children.The antibiotics included cephalosporins(n=12),semisynthetic penicillins(n=5),vancomycin(n=4)and azithromycins(n=7).All 12 patients presented fever,rashes,and multiple organ involvement.The rashes were red maculopapules in the early stage and then gradually developed into massive fusion exceeding 50%of the whole body.Among them,seven children were accompanied by facial edema,and two had purplish-red facial rashes.11 children suffered from exfoliative dermatitis in the later stage.12 children presented obviously enlarged lymph nodes.Liver involvement was the most common(100%,simple increase of transaminase in four children,cholestasis in six children,and hepatic failure in two children),and lung involvement was found in nine children.Laboratory examination showed no significant increase in leukocytes or eosinophils within 5 d before the eruption,but low levels of atypical lymphocytes.After the eruption,leukocytes,eosinophils,and atypical lymphocytes increased progressively.Inflammatory indexes of hypersensitive C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)increased dramatically before and after the eruption.All the children received intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG)and methylprednisolone,two children were given antiviral therapy,and nine children were treated with multiple plasma exchanges.After treatment,nine children were cured,one developed immune reconstitution syndrome,and two died of hepatic failure.Conclusions Antibiotics are common allergenic drugs for DIHS in children.Its clinical manifestations include fever and rashes,accompanied by multiple organ involvement,such as the liver and lung.When leukocytes,eosinophils,and atypical lymphocytes are progressively elevated after the eruption,DIHS should be highly suspected,herpesvirus activation should be monitored,medication history should be traced,and early active immunotherapy and antiviral therapy should be conducted if necessary.
