The incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis is low, on the rising in recent years. But the misdiagnosis rate of the disease is high. In order to improve the level of early diagnosis and reduce the misdiagnosis, in this pa per, the invasive fungal sinusitis's clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are reviewed.

The incidence of oncocytic papilloma of nasal ethmoid sinus is very low. In order to improve the understanding of the disease for clinicians,we report one case of oncocytic papilloma in nasal ethmoid sinus. The case performs mainly congestion of the left nasal cavity, running pus nose and hyposmia. Nasal endoscopy found new creature in the meatus,and CT indicates soft tissue shadow in the left superior nasal passages,ethmoid sinus involved. Tumor is resected completely. There is no recurrence after five years follow-up.

Objective To investigate the infiltration of dendritic cell (DC) in Vocal cord polyp, laryngeal leukopla-kia and glottic squamous cell carcinoma,and to observe laryngeal mucosal lesions of the state of the immune microenviron-ment, and to research significance of DC on the development of glottic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The infiltration of S-100+and CD83+DC in 20 cases of Vocal cord polyp, 47 cases of laryngeal leukoplakia, 45 cases of glottic squamous cell carcinoma tumor and 20 cases of laryngeal normal mucosa were examined using immunohistochemistry. Results The num-ber of S-100+and CD83+DC were significantly higher in glottic squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal leukoplakia and vocal cord polyp than that in laryngeal normal mucosa (P<0.05). The number of S-100+and CD83+DC were higher in laryngeal leukoplakia than that in glottic squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.05). The number of S-100+and CD83+DC in mild dysplasia and moderate dysplasia were less than that in severe atypical hyperplasia (P<0.01). In glottic squamous cell carcinoma, S-100+ and CD83+DC with poor-differentiated was significantly less than that with well-differentiated (P < 0.01). Conclu-sion Changes in the number of dendritic cell was found in vocal cord polyp, laryngeal leukoplakia and glottic squamous cell carcinoma, which indicated that there were an abnormal immune status. Changing of dendritic cell in laryngeal mucosa plays an important role in laryngeal cancer development.

Spontaneous miscarriage is the most common complication of the first trimester,among which 90% are early miscarriage that occurs prior to the 12th week of the gestation.Low progesterone level may be the main cause of the early miscarriage.This article discusses the incidence,pathogenesis,progesterone treatment,and prediction marker of early miscarriage to provide clues for the clinical work.

An extracellular proteinase from Candida albicans WD27 was purified by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange chromatography with 25.4 fold and 5.2% yield. This enzyme appeared to be aspartic proteinase since the enzyme activity could be inhibited by pepstatin which was specific inhibitor of this class of proteinase. The enzyme had an acidic proteolytic activity profile with the optimum pH of 4.0. The optimum temperature of the enzyme activity was 37℃. The proteinase had a broad substrate specificity with the highest susceptibility to bovine hemoglobin. The Km for bovine hemoglobin was determined to be 0.814mmol/L.

Background The conventional drugs for preventing and treating graft rejection have the risks of inducing adverse responses.Researches showed that resolvinE1 (RvE1) can regulate Th1 cell-mediated immunoreaction.However,whether RvE1 has an inhibit effect on high-risk corneal graft is unclear now.Objective This study was to investigate the effects of RvE1 on immune rejection in high-risk corneal grafting mouse models.Methods SPF BALB/c mice were used as recipients,C57BL/6 mice were as donors.Ninety BALB/c mice were divided into corneal allograft group,corneal allograft+RvE1 group and corneal autograft group according to random number table.High-risk corneal graft models were established by corneal suturing for 14 days and followed by penetrating keratoplasty in recipients.Allograft keratoplasty was performed on the right eyes in the mice of corneal allograft group and corneal allograft+RvE1 group,and self-corneal graft rotated 180°was transplanted on the right eyes in the mice of autograft group.Normal saline solution of 10 μl was subconjunctivally injected after surgery once per day for 7 days in the corneal allograft group and corneal autograft group,and 10 μl RyE1 (1 μg) was used in the same way in the corneal allograft+RvE1 group.The recipient eyes were examined for potential rejection signals with slit lamp microscope and calculated the mean survival time and rejection index (RI).The histopathology was examined 21 days after modeling by hemotoxylin and eosin staining.The expressions of CD4 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)in the corneas were detected by immunohistochemistry.Th1 cell (CD3+CD8a-IFN-γ+) percentage in draining lymph nodes were measured by flow cytometry.The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2),tumor mecrosis factor-α (TNF-α),IFN-γ and T-bet were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results The mean survival time of grafts was (28.5± 1.7) days in the corneal allograft group,and that in the corneal allograft+RvE1 group was (14.0±1.6) days,showing a significant difference between them (t =4.14,P＜0.001),while the survival rate was 100％ at 50 days after modeling in the corneal autograft group.Corneal edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were slight in the corneal allograft+RvE1 group and corneal autograft group compared with corneal allograft group.CD4 was positively expressed in corneal tissue,and IFN-γ was expressed in corneal epithelium.The CD4+ and IFN-γ+ cell number was decreased in the corneal allograft+RvE1 group and corneal autograft group compared with corneal allograft group under the fluorescence microscope.The percentages of Th1 cells in lymph cells of corneal allograft +RvE1 group and corneal autograft group were (1.07 ±0.25) ％,(0.85 ±0.12) ％,respectively,which were significnatly lower than (1.56±0.20) ％ in the corneal allograft group (both at P＜0.05).The expressions of IL-2,TNF-α,IFN-γ and T-bet mRNA in the corneal tissue in the corneal allograft group were higher than those in the corneal allograft+RvE1 group and corneal autograft group (all at P＜0.05).Conclusions RyE1 inhibits graft rejection in high-risk allograft mouse models probably by down-regulating the Th1 cell percentage in lymph cells and the expression of inflammationrelated cytokines in corneal grafts.

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative chemotherapy for children with malignant extragonadial germinoma. Methods Twenty patients with malignant extrogonadal germinoma had been treated with preoperative chemotherapy from Mar.2003 to Mar.2007.Protocol 1 of chemotherapy was to improve PEB:(cisplatin plus etoposide plus bleomycin A5);Protocol 2 was VAC(vincristine plus actinomycin D plus cyclophosphamide) the average time span of the chemotherapy was 16 weeks.Upon completion of chemotherapy,tumor resection was performed.The content of alpha fetoprotein(AFP) was determined before operation and compared with the content before chemotherapy.Re-gular follow-up procedure was taken after operation. Results All 20 patients received chemotherapy and underwent operation.The removal rate of resection operation was 100%,the process of operation was smooth.The volume of tumors in 14 patients decreased over 50% compared with those before chemotherapy.The response rate was 70%.The content of AFP decreased significantly in 15 patients(75%).Fifteen patients had been living without tumor for up to 2 years,for 5 cases the survival time went beyond 5 years. Conclusions Malignant extrogonadal ger-minoma in children grow infiltratively,bring detrimental effects to neighboring organs,and bring obstacles to resection operation.Chemotherapy for children with malignant extragonadal germinoma before operation can reduce volume of tumor and bleeding during operation,raise the resectability rate and lower the content of AFP.It will enhance the effectiveness of operation and improve prognosis.Therefore,it can be used as a conventional clinical method.
