Objective:To analyze clinical and pathological features of Reed nevi (pigmented spindle cell nevi) .Methods:The clinical and pathological data were collected from 26 patients with Reed nevi, who visited Department of Dermatology of Xijing Hospital from January 2015 to June 2019, and analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among the 26 patients, 15 were males, and 11 were females. Their average age of onset was 17.35 years, and median age of onset was 13.85 years. Reed nevi occurred predominantly on the lower limbs (12 cases) , followed by the face (6 cases) , upper limbs (5 cases) and trunk (3 cases) . All the skin lesions were black in color, and 7 cases presented with maculae, 19 with flat papules, 22 with quasi-circular skin lesions, and 4 with irregular skin lesions. The diameter of skin lesions ranged from 2 to 10 mm, and 23 cases had skin lesions with a diameter of ≤ 5 mm. As histopathological examination showed, pathological subtypes included junctional nevus (15 cases) and compound nevus (11 cases) ; melanocytes were spindle-shaped with obvious cytochromes in 26 cases; nevus cell nests merged with the surrounding epidermis in 4 cases, and obvious fissures were formed between nevus cell nests and the surrounding epidermis in 22 cases; no obvious cell atypia or mitotic figure was observed in any of the 26 cases, and Kamino bodies were observed in 6 cases. All the skin lesions were resected by surgery, and no recurrence was observed during the follow-up of 1 - 5 years.Conclusion:Reed nevi can manifest as irregular lesions, pagetoid distribution of spindle cells of various sizes can be observed histopathologically, and they need to be differentiated from melanoma.

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of gender and age on shoulder and hip range of motion (ROM) and to determine the differences of ROM of normal side shoulder and hip joints between the data we collected and the published standards (Guideline of Examination for Body Impairment in Clinical Forensic Medicine SF/ZJD0103003-2011) in China. Methods We collected cases with unilateral injury of shoulder or hip from clinical forensic medicine. The differences of ROM of normal side joint between the data we collected and the published standards were studied. Descriptive statistics was calculated between male and female subjects in ifve age groups including 0~25, 26~40, 41~50, 51~60 and >60 years, and the ROM changes with age were also studied. Results The data collected in this study was signiifcantly different from the published standard. With age growth, the ROM of shoulder and hip were decreased and a significant difference between genders in partial activity direction of shoulder and hip was found in the individuals who were over 50 years. Conclusion Gender and age appear to be inlfuential factors to determine the normal ROM of the shoulder and hip joint, and there is signiifcantly difference of ROM of normal side shoulder and hip joints between the data we collected and the published standards (Guideline of Examination for Body Impairment in Clinical Forensic Medicine SF/ZJD0103003-2011).

Objective To summarize the clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of hepatolithiasis complicating cholangiocarcinoma. Methods From June 1958 to March 2011,709 cases of hepatolithiasis were admitted to Department of General Surgery,Peking University Third Hospital.The cases concomitant with cholangiocarcinoma were reviewed. Results 20 of 709 (2.8% ) hepatolithiasis cases developed cholangiocarcinoma.17 cases (85%,17/20) were followed-up for 2 years (0 - 15 years).The hepatolithiasis course before the malignant diagnosis was 15 ± 1 1 years (3 -38 years).14 cases had frequent episodes of cholangitis,15 cases had liver cirrhosis.Preoperative diagnosis was established by CT,MRCP,B-ultrasound and tumor markers in 55% (11/20) cases.4 cases underwent radical resection,7 received palliative resection,9 cases received conservative treatment.In radical resection,one lost to follow-up,one survived one year,two for 5 years.In palliative resection,2 lost to follow-up,two survived one year,one survived 3 years, one for 5 years. None in conservative group survived more than one year.Conclusions Cholangiocarcinoma developed from hepatolithiasis with a long history,frequent cholangitis,liver cirrhosis,especially in cases with imige showing thickness of bile duct or mass and rising tumor markers (CA19-9,CA125,CEA).The cases undergoing radical resection may have a favorable prognosis.
