Objective To improve the diagnostic rate of laparoscopy for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) and enhance acquaintance with this disease. Methods The appearance of laparoscopic detection was retrospectively analysed in 25 patients with pathologically proved MPM. Results Hyperemia, edema and faint vascular net in parietal peritoneum were seen in all patients, and the thick or thin callus-like thickened parietal peritoneum was also observed. There were some grey nodes of various size, distribution and number in parietal and visceral peritoneum in all patients. The purplish red masses with hyperemia and edema were seen in abdominal cavity in 21 patients (21/25,84%). Several small masses cold be connected each other to become one big mass. All patients had yellow turbid or bloody ascites. Conclusion MPM had special characteristics under laparoscopy. Laparoscopic detection possesses the advantages of safety, little trauma, less hurt and high diagnostic rate. Laparoscopic detection and biopsy may be the best method for diagnosis of MPM.

Objective To report the diagnosis and treatment of a case of renal inflammatory myofibroblastoma. Methods A 30-year-old man presented with space-occupying lesion of the kidney with no symptoms in physical examination.No abnormality was found in the laboratory tests.B-ultrasound showed a clear-edged,solid mass which was 4.5 cm?3.7 cm in size and had heterogeneous echo in the upper,middle part of the left kidney.CT showed a similar value of the mass to that of the normal tissue.Enhanced MRI showed heterogeneous intensification of the mass whose signal was slightly lower than that of the normal tissue.Preliminary diagnosis of renal cancer was made. Results Nephrectomy was performed.On pathological examination the tumor was mainly composed of spindle-shaped,fibrous cells, and positive staining for Vimentin,SMA and HHF35 were observed immunohistochemically.Inflammatory myofibroblastoma of the kidney was diagnosed.Follow-up of 54 months showed no recurrence and metastasis of the tumor. Conclusions Inflammatory myofibroblastoma is a kind of rare,benign or low-grade malignant tumor of the kidney, and the clinical diagnosis is often difficult.Definite diagnosis relies on pathology.For the sake of avoidance of resecting the kidney by mistake, pathological examination is the preferred choice during operation.

An inbred strain of DXB/c mouse has been established by hybridization between DBA/2 female mice and C57BL/6 male ones and subsequently by sibmating their offsprings beginning from the F2 generation.Now DXB/c mouse has been passed for 28 generations of full sibmating since 1979.Genetic checkup by means of skin grafting,mandibular morphology analysis,mixed lymphocyte cultivation,coat colour gene testing,and biochemical marker gene examination confirmed that the full homozygosity of alleles has been achieved in DXB/c mouse and DXB/c mouse comforms to the criteria of an inbred strain of mouse.In addition,the genetic background of DXB/c mouse is composed of the genes of its progenitors DBA/2 and C57BL/6 as shown by coat colour gene testing and biochemical marker gene examination.
