Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics of yon Hippel-Lindau (VHL)syndrome and the significance of genetic test for this disease.Methods Patients with VHL disease from 3 different families were reviewed from August 1985 to October 2017.The study was including clinical family survey and VHL-gene test on phylogenetic level.Totally 21 family members from 3 families were investigated,consisting of 14 males and 7 females with average age of 48.6 (5-70)years when analyzed.There were 8 patients with VHL disease comprising 5 males and 3 females with average onset age of 31.5 (9-67) years.Results The proband of pedigree one (VHL-Ⅱ C) was diagnosed as pheochromocytoma (PHEO) of right adrenal gland at 18 years old and underwent adrenalectomy,and her son was diagnosed with PHEO of bilateral adrenal glands with diagnostic age of 9 years old and received bilateral adrenalectomy sequentially.Her niece was diagnosed as PHEO of bilateral adrenal glands at 28 years old and received bilateral adrenal-sparing surgery simultaneously.Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous mutation located at the third exon of the VHL gene (c.482G > A).The proband of pedigree two (VHL-Ⅱ B) was diagnosed as right PHEO,bilateral multiple renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC),multiple pancreatic cysts and bilateral epididymal cystadenoma,and he received right adrenalectomy,right partial nephrectomy at 25 years old and delayed eystadenoma excision.His younger brother was also diagnosed as bilateral,pancreatic multiple cysts and bilateral epididymal nodules at 27 years old,and underwent right radical nephrectomy.Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous mutation located at the first exon of the VHL gene (c.233A > G).The proband of pedigree three (VHL-Ⅱ B) was diagnosed with central nerve system hemangioblastomas (CNS-HB) at 35 years old and received external beam radiotherapy.His elder sister was diagnosed as CNS-HB at 43 years old and received surgery.His father was diagnosed as right PHEO,bilateral RCC,bilateral multiple renal and pancreatic cysts and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors at 67 years old.He received right adrenalectomy and partial nephrectomy.Genetic analysis showed a heterozygous mutation located at the third exon of the VHL gene(c.500G > A).In addition,two cases (F2-Ⅲ 1 and F3-ⅣV1) were found to be asymptomatic VHL gene carriers by genetic screening.8 patients were followed up for an average of 9.8 (2-32) years.The symptoms were stable and no local recurrence or distant metastasis was found after operation.In this study,no CNS-HB was found in patients within family 1 and family 2,and RCC in 3 patients within family 2 and family 3 were low grade.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of VHL disease are diverse.RCC and CNS-HB are not present in all patients with the disease.PHEO is the only manifestation in patients with VHL-ⅡC.It is necessary to inform the members of VHL syndrome family for genetic test.Genetic test combined with clinical screening can facilitate differential diagnosis for VHL syndrome and other hereditary urological diseases.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of accessory breast cancer.Methods Clinical and pathological data of 37 accessory breast cancer patients from Dec 2005 to Aug 2017 were reviewed.Results 12 patients underwent breast-conserving local wide excision plus axillary lymph node dissection.5 cases were treated by segmental resection and 19 patients by Auchincloss or Halsted mastectomy;One patient abandoned surgery.The most common histological type of accessory breast cancer was infiltrating ductal carcinoma (26 cases,70.3%) followed by adenocarcinoma (4 cases) and miscellaneous type (7 cases).The most common AJCC pathological stages were stage Ⅱ (n =24,65 %),Ⅰ (n =8),Ⅲ(n =3) and Ⅳ (n =2).The median follow-up time was 6 (1-12) years,the followup rate was 100%.Until Dec 2017,7 patients died from metastasis and the others were alive.Conclusions Accessory breast cancer is rare and with poor prognosis.The diagnosis depends on clinical manifestations,imaging and pathology.Surgery is the mainstay therapy,adjuvant chemo therapy is recommanded.

OBJECTIVETo study the application of serodiagnosis of human bocavirus (HBoV) lower respiratory tract infection in children.
METHODFrom January to April, 2013, samples including serum, sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALFs) were obtained from 714 children hospitalized with ALRI. Serums were tested for HBoV-specific IgG and IgM antibodies by ELISA and all kinds of samples were tested for HBoV DNA by quantitative real-time fluorescent PCR. The results of HBoV serologic tests, viral DNA in sputum and their combination were compared with those of HBoV DNA in serums and/or BALFs, which was considered as the "standard". Their consistence and differences were evaluated, and the diagnostic parameters including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, consistency rate, Kappa value and J value were calculated. Age distributions of the HBoV positive patients tested by the latter two methods were also compared.
RESULTThe positive rate of HBoV serology was 13.2% (94/714) . The results of HBoV serology, its DNA in sputum and their combination were all consistent with those of HBoV DNA in serums and/or BALFs (χ(2) = 91.834, 124.662, 138.643, P < 0.001 for all comparisons) . Differences were significant by McNemar test (χ(2) = 23.547, 33.440, 12.410, P all <0.001) . All the diagnostic parameters for single HBoV serologic test or single viral DNA test in sputa were approximate. However, they were improved to 70.4%, 94.8%, 38.0%, 98.6%, 93.7%, 0.463(P < 0.001), 0.65 for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, consistency rate, Kappa value and J value, respectively, when the methods were combined. HBoV was found positive mainly in children under 3 years of age, especially in the 1 year group. The positive rates were the highest in both group -1 year, and group -3 years was the next. However, the rate was the lowest in group >3 years and in the group -6 months.
CONCLUSIONDiagnostic power can be improved and age distribution can be demonstrated when serologic tests were combined with traditional sputum DNA detection in children with HBoV lower respiratory tract infection.
