Objective To study the value of expression of carcinoma-associated antigens in early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma. Methods The expression of PCNA, CEA, CA50 and E-cad were detected by immunohistochemistry in 50 cases of gallbladder carcinoma, 10 gallbladder adenomas and 10 cholecystitis. Results The positive rates of CEA, CA50 and PCNA LI in gallbladder carcinomas were significantly higher than that of gallbladder adenomas and cholecystitis(P

Objective To investigate the clinical presentation, morphological features, immunohistochemical staining of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and its histogenesis as well. Methods The morphologic characteristics of GISTs were studied in 58 cases using light microscopy. The expression of c-kit(CD117), CD34 and vimentin were detected in all of the cases with EnVision staining. Results Among 58 cases of GISTs, 41 were spindle cell type, 5 epithelioid cell type and 12 mixture type, equivalent to 86.6 %(58 of 67) of all of the mesenchymal tumors of gastrointestinal tract admitted in the same period. The epithelioid cell type tumors were mainly composed of the epitheloid cells, predominantly short spindle, oval or round in pattern, with an overall eosinophilic cytoplasm by hematoxylin-eosin stain. Focal cytoplasmic vacuolization was often seen. Sometimes signet-ring like cells and cells with a clear cytoplasm were seen in the epithelioid stromal tumor. The tumor cells arranged in interlacing fascicles forming whorls or sometimes cell clusters. All of the 58 stromal tumors were strongly positive for vimentin (100 %), 55 out of 58 tumors positive for CD117 (94.8 %) and 46 out of 58 positive for CD34(79.3 %). Some cases also expressed SMA, actin, S-100 and MBP. Conclusions GISTs were the most common mesenchymal tumor seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Under light microscope, the morphology of stromal tumors sometimes looks like a leiomyoma or Schwannoma. The application of immunohistochemical markers (particularly CD117 and CD34) is considered necessary for the differential diagnosis. GISTs may originate from the pluripotential precursor cells like the interstitial cells of Cajal.

Objective To analyze the CT, especially HRCT appearance of localized organizing pneumonia. Methods The CT scans of nine patients with histologically proved localized organizing pneumonia were studied retrospectively. Results The size of the lesions in nine cases varied from 2 to 4 cm( average 2.5 cm). Eight lesions were located in the peripheral lung parenchyma near the pleural surface. The lesions were detected as round in four, anomaly in five. The margin of six lesions had inward bow indentation. Infiltrating lesions in surrounding structures were found in four cases. Conclusion The CT, especially HRCT appearance of localized organizing pneumonia shows some features that can make most of them to be differentiated from other lesions.

ObjectiveTo discuss the interaction of pregnancy and myasthenia gravis(MG) and the management of pregnancy with MG.MethodsSeven cases of pregnancy with MG in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively,with respect to the therapy of MG,pregnancy complications and outcomes.Results Totally 38 683 pregnant women were admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Oct.1983 and Oct.2010.Among them there were 9 patients suffered from MG,with the incidence of 0.023％.Two pregnancies were terminated because of personal reasons,and seven continued.( 1 ) Onset of MG:in the 7 cases,6 were diagnosed before conception,with the mean course of 5.9 years.The other one occurred in the third trimester.(2) Management:all the cases were under close surveillance during pregnancy.Four women took thymectomy before conception,and one of them kept taking medication after surgery. In those who received thymectomy,3 cases remained stable and 1 case worsened during prenancy.The latter one took medication at 33 weeks,and continued to full term.MG exacerbated in the other three women who had not undergone thymectomy before conception.Among them, one woman complicated with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis delivered the baby at 31 weeks.(3) Delivery and neonatal outcomes:cesarean deliveries were performed in 5 cases and the other two underwent vaginal deliveries.All the newborns were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit for surveillance.There were three smaller than gestational week (SGA) infants.No MG was observed in newborns.ConclusionsPatients with MG should have an overall evaluation before conception.The course of MG during pregnancy is unpredictable.They may get a promising outcome under the control of a multidisciplinary team including obstetricians and neurologists.Newborns should be carefully monitored for sings of transitory MG in the department of pediatrics.

Objective To calculate the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities at second trimester in women who were 35 or older at their expected date of birth.Methods The amniocentesis and karyotyping results in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1st,2001 to June 30th,2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The only indication for amniocentesis in these group of woman was advanced maternal age.A total of 6584 cases Were included in this study and were divided into two groups according to maternal age,ie.35-39 and ≥40 year old group.The incidences of fetal 47,+ 21,47,+ 18 and sex aneuploidies were calculated and compared between two groups by Chi-square test.Results Altogether,121 cases were diagnosed to be abnormal chromosome,and the overall incidence was 18.38‰ (121/6584).The abnormal karyotypes included 111 cases of aneuploidies (mosaicism included) and 10 cases of structural abnormalities.The aneuploidies included 59 cases of 47,+21 (8.96‰,59/6584),25 cases of 47,+18 (3.80‰,25/6584),2 cases of 47,+13 (0.30‰,2/6584) and 25 cases of sex aneuploidies (3.80‰,25/6584).Fetal 47,+21 was the most frequent chromosomal abnormality,accounting for 53.15％ (59/111) of all aneuploidies.The incidence of fetal 47,+21 was significantly higher in ≥40 year-old group than that of 35-39 year old group[13.99‰(16/1144) vs 7.90‰(43/5440),x2=3.937,P=0.047].There were no statistical differences of the incidences of fetal 47,+ 18 and sex aneuploidies between the two groups.Conclusions The main fetal chromosomal abnormalities in women aged 35 and older are the aneuploidies of chromosome 21,18,13 and sex chromosomes.The incidence of fetal 47,+21 is significantly increased in the women aged 40 years and older.So prenatal screening should be provided first to women at 35-39 years of age and amniocentesis should be the first choice of prenatal diagnosis for women over 40 years old.

To better understand the drugs, frequency and other factors involved in the drug-induced renal failure, 227 cases of renal failure reported in the Chinese medical and pharmaceutical journals were statistically analyzed. Our results showed that the drugs that tend to cause renal failure are antibiotics, involving 80 cases, followed by antituberculosis agents(38 eases)and dehydration agents. Gentamycin (47 cases) and rifrimactane(36 cases) were among the drugs with highest incidence. There were 58 cases of death due to drug-related renal failure.

BACKGROUND:Autologous hamstring Rigidfix and Intrafix has been frequently used to fix and reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament. However, it lacks of evaluation of middle and long period of clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively evaluate the medium term clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. METHODS:The 39 cases of anterior cruciate ligament injury were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix under arthroscope. They were fol owed up for 2 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the fol ow-up, IKDC2000 score and Lyshlom score were significantly increased fol owing Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation than before treatment (P<0.01). Results indicate satisfactory clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. However, long-term fol ow up is needed to verify the feasibility of extensive application.

Objective To understand the awareness of children snoring disease knowledge and demand of health education and appropriate health education methods from the parents whose children were in hospital by snoring, and provide basis for health education in clinic. Methods On the basis of literature search and expert consultation, 276 parents whose children in hospital by snoring were investigated by self-designed questionnaire. The questionnaire included the awareness of children snoring disease knowledge and demand of health education and appropriate health education methods were carried out. Results The awareness rate of children snoring disease knowledge was 2.54%-55.07% in parents whose children in hospital by snoring. The average demand rate of health education surpass 80%, major reason and symptom and main therapy and surgical outcomes of snoring were more concerned with 100.00%(276/276). The average demand rate of the impact on the intelligence was 96.38%(266/276). Acceptable methods of health education from high to low were as follows, consulting a doctor was 93.48%(258/276), posting publicity column in the halls or ward hallway was 74.28% (205/276), attending health education lecture was 66.30% (183/276), through QQ group or micro letter platform was 61.96%(171/276), through community healthy knowledge publicity column was 56.52%(156/276), through broadcast radio and television programs when see a doctor or in hospital was 53.62%(148/276), through telephone counseling was 36.96%(102/276), through hospital health prescription was 36.23% (100/276), through audiovisual teaching materials was 32.25% (89/276), communication between parents was 7.97%(22/276). Conclusions The awareness rate of children snoring disease knowledge from the parents whose children in hospital by snoring is low, the medical staff need take various ways of health education to improve snoring children′s parents′overall understanding level of children sleep apnea, effectively prevent various influencing factors of sleep apnea and snoring related complications, to reduce the dangers caused by snoring.
