OBJECTIVETo study the clinical and pathological characteristics of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
METHODSFour cases of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma were studied by histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination of lung biopsy specimens.
RESULTSThere were 3 female and 1 male, age 28 to 40 years. Clinically the tumor presented as multiple bilateral small nodules in the lung. Histologically, crown-like clusters of epithelioid tumor cells were obtained which filled in the alveoli locating at the periphery of the tumor nodules, while the central part of the nodules contained myxoid to hyaline matrix. The overall architecture of the lung was still preserved. Additionally, intracytoplasmic vacuoles were seen in tumor cells within which red blood cells were sometimes identified. Tumor cells generally lacked pleomorphism, mitotic activity and necrosis. They were immunohistochemically positive for CD31 and CD34. AE1/AE3 staining was positive in some cases.
CONCLUSIONSPulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma often occurs in a middle-aged woman and represents a distinct clinical pathological entity.

OBJECTIVETo study the immunophenotype and gene rearrangement pattern of pulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis.
METHODSNine cases of pulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis, included 5 cases of open lung biopsy, 3 cases of lobectomy specimen and 1 case of autopsy, were retrospectively analyzed by immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA, immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene rearrangement studies.
RESULTSThe age of patients ranged from 3 to 59 years. The male-to-female ratio was 3: 6. Histologically, all cases showed lymphocytic infiltration surrounding the blood vessels and in the perivascular areas. Most of these lymphoid cells expressed T-cell marker CD3. There were also variable numbers of CD20-positive B cells. The staining for CD56 was negative. According to the WHO classification, there were 4 cases of grade I , 1 case of grade II and 4 cases of grade III lesions. Six cases had gene rearrangement studies performed and 3 of them demonstrated clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement (including 1 of the grade II and 2 of the grade III lesions). No T-cell receptor gene rearrangement was detected.
CONCLUSIONSPulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis may represent a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders. Some of the cases show B-cell immunophenotype and clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, especially the grade II and grade lesions. They are likely of lymphomatous nature.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of alternatively activated macrophages /mononuclear phagocytes(MNP) on breast cancer cells and explore the mechanisms for the action of tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer.
METHODSHuman peripheral blood monocytes were isolated and cultured in vitro and divided into 3 groups, namely classically activated monocytes (CAM) which were induced by lipopolysaccharide, alternatively activated monocytes (AAM) induce by IL-4, and control cells treated with the culture medium only. After cell culture for 48-72 h, the mRNA of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), alternative monocytes activation- associated CC-chemokine 1 (AMAC-1), and beta-actin of the 3 groups were extracted for RT-PCR, or the cells were cocultured with breast cancer cell line SKBR3, or seeded in chicken chorioallantoic membrane along with SKBR3.
RESULTSTNF-alpha mRNA was significantly increased in CAM, and AMAC-1 was highly expressed in AAM. The coculture experiments showed that CAM exhibited obvious inhibitory effect on SKBR3 cells after a 3-day culture whereas AAM significantly promoted the growth of SKBR3 cells after a 5-day culture. In chicken on chorioallantoic membrane experiment, the macrophages promoted tumor angiogenesis and AAM showed the most obvious effect.
CONCLUSIONIL-4 induces high expression of AMAC-1, a molecular marker of AAM, in the macrophages, and AAM can promote the growth of SKBR3 cells and tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To compare the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) mode and mono-exponential mode in predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for locally advanced breast carcinoma using DWI.Methods From January 1,2013 to December 31,2016,eighty patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma were enrolled into this prospective clinical study.The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of histopathological results.The clinical stage stayed at Ⅱ or Ⅲ.The patients would receive breast-conserving surgery after NAC.All the patients underwent DWI examination by using both mono-exponential mode and DKI mode before chemotherapy was initiated.The parameters included ADC,mean diffusivity (MD) and mean kurtosis (MK).Within 1 to 3 days before or after MRI examination,the patients underwent aspiration biopsy,received 4 to 8 cycles of NAC and followed by surgery.According to histologic grading before NAC,the patients were classified into well-differentiated and poor-differentiated group.According to the comparison between pathological results acquired from biopsy before NAC and specimen acquired after surgery,the patients were classified into pathologic complete response (pCR) and pathologic non-complete response (non-pCR) according to treatment effect.The imaging parameters were compared between the pCR and the non-pCR group using t test.The predicting ability of two imaging modes was compared and analyzed with ROC analysis.The relationships between multiple imaging parameters,pathologic,clinical characteristics of tumor and treatment effect were analyzed using logistic multi-variate regression analysis,and further analyzed using Wald test.Results There were 30 cases of pCR and 50 cases of non-pCR.The ADC and MD values were lower in the pCR group than in the non-pCR group (P<0.05).MK value was higher in the pCR group than in the non-pCR group (P<0.05).ROC analysis showed that the area under ROC curve of ADC,MD and MK in predicting treatment effect were 0.732,0.866 and 0.683 respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that,according to predicting ability,MD,ADC and MK successively were the independent predictors for the early response to chemotherapy.Conclusion Compared with mono-exponential mode,DKI mode can reflect the real micro-environment and water diffusion restriction within the tumor area more reliably and accurately,and is more suitable to serve as an imaging technique for predicting the response to NAC for locally advanced breast carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) associated lung involvement, concentrating on clinical characteristics, pathological findings of lung involvements, response to treatment, and prognosis.
METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the characters of the clinical manifestations, thin-section CT and pathological findings of CSS. The study involved 16 patients. Clinical data were obtained by chart review. All patients underwent transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB). Six of them underwent surgical lung biopsy as well.
RESULTSThe patients included 7 men and 9 women, aged from 14 to 61 years (median, 47.5 years). Extrathoracic organs involved included nervous system (7/16) and skin (5/16). Respiratory symptoms included cough (12/16), exertional dyspnea (11/16), hemoptysis (4/16), and chest pain (3/16). CT findings included bilateral ground-glass opacities (12/16), bilateral patchy opacities (12/16), and centrilobular nodules (6/16). The pathological findings of TBLB demonstrated increased eosinophils (3/16), vasculitis (3/16), and interstitial pneumonia (16/16). The pathological findings of surgical lung biopsy of 6 cases showed necrotizing vasculitis in 4 cases, capillaries in 5, eosinophilic pneumonia in 3, granulomas in 2, and airway abnormalities in 3. All patients improved in symptoms after therapy during the study period (range, 3 to 51 months; median, 15 months).
CONCLUSIONSAsthma may be present in CSS patient when there is bronchial involvement. Ground-glass opacities and consolidation seen on high-resolution CT reflect the presence of eosinophilic pneumonia, vasculitis, and pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage. TBLB has significant limitations for the diagnosis of CSS. Early diagnosis and therapy can result in satisfactory prognosis.
