Objective To evaluate the clinical effect,the changes of pulmonary hypertension,serum D-dimer and side effect of irbesartan combined with low molecular weight heparin in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in COPD patients.Methods 49 patients of COPD were randomly allocated into two groups:the control group( n =22 )and the treatment group( n =27).The patients of the control group were treated with common treatments,for the treatment group,irbesartan 80mg qd combined with low molecular weight heparin 0.4ml IH bid were additionally administered for 14 days.To evaluate the clinical effect,the changes of pulmonary hypertension,serum D-dimer and side effects.Results The treatment group and the control group could reduce the pulmonary artery pressure.The clinical effects of the former were statistically significant better than the control(P ＜0.01 ).Side effect had no statistically significant difference between two groups.Conclusion Irbesartan combined with low molecular weight heparin have better clinical effects in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in COPD patients and it was convenient,safe and worthy of extending in clinic.

Objective To better characterize the clinical and histopathological manifestations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma (ES).Methods Clinical data were collected from nine patients with ES diagnosed and treated at the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from 2000 to 2014.The clinical and histopathological manifestations, immunophenotype, treatment and prognosis of ES were reviewed retrospectively.Results The median age at onset of ES was 34.5 years in these patients, and the average disease duration was 8.3 years.Lesions began on the extremities in 8 patients, and manifested as nodules,ulceration and lymphedema.Histopathological examination showed that tumor cells mainly consisted of spindle cells and epithelioid cells, some of which were in a palisade arrangement with central necrosis.Cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and vimentin were coexpressed by tumor cells.Recurrence was observed at the original site in 6 patients after lesion resection, and pulmonary metastasis occurred in 4 patients.Five patients were followed up and two of them died of pulmonary metastasis.Conclusions Local recurrence is frequent in patients with ES after lesion removal.Lymph node and pulmonary metastases of ES are common, and pulmonary metastasis is usually associated with a poor prognosis.

Objective To screen microRNAs(miRNAs)related to early mycosis fungoides(MF). Methods A high?throughput miRNA PCR array was used to determine miRNA expression profiles in skin lesions of 6 patients with early MF (early MF group) and 6 patients with lichen planus (control group), followed by screening of differentially expressed miRNAs between the two groups. Then, real?time fluorescence?based quantitative PCR(RT?qPCR)was performed to verify the differentially expressed miRNAs in lesional specimens from 13 patients with early MF and 13 patients with eczema or lichen planus, as well as in Myla cells and normal human T?lymphocytes. Results The high?throughput miRNA PCR array showed that the expressions of hsa?miR?378a?5p, hsa?miR?107 and hsa?miR?302c?3p were significantly higher in the early MF group than in the control group(all P<0.05). For skin lesions, the results from RT?qPCR were similar to those from the miRNA array assay. Compared with normal human peripheral blood T?lymphocytes, Myla cells showed significantly increased expressions of hsa?miR?378a?5p and hsa?miR?107, which was consistent with the results from the miRNA array assay. However, no significant difference was observed in the expression of hsa?miR?302c?3p between the two kinds of cells. Conclusion MiRNA expression profiles in early MF are different from those in inflammatory skin diseases.

Objective To investigate clinical and pathological features of primary cutaneous CD30 + anaplastic large cell lymphoma(PC-ALCL). Methods Clinical and pathological data were collected from 7 patients with PC-ALCL and analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 7 patients, 6 were male and 1 was female, with an average age of 52 years. PC-ALCL was characterized by solitary (n = 3)or multiple (n = 4)erythematous nodules, lumps and/or plaques with (n = 6)or without (n = 1)ulceration. Systemic involvement was observed in none of the 7 patients. Histopathological examination showed diffuse distribution of tumor cells in the dermis, which were large with rich cytoplasm and atypical nuclei. Mitotic figures were seen. An immunohistochemical study of tumor cells showed positive staining for CD30 and cytotoxic protein, but negative staining for CD20, CD56,anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK). Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA in situ hybridization was negative. Conclusions PC-ALCL is a rare primary cutaneous low-grade malignant T-cell lymphoma, which can be confirmed by clinical manifestations as well as histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations. It usually has good prognosis with rare systemic involvement and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). Methods Totally, 50 patients with DFSP visiting the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 1998 to 2014 were enrolled. The clinical manifestations, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, treatment and prognosis of DFSP were retrospectively reviewed. Results The average age at onset of DFSP was (29.5 ± 15.9)years in the 50 patients, with a mean disease duration of 9.57 years. Skin lesions most frequently occurred on the trunk(n = 33, 66.0%), followed by the extremities, head and neck. DFSP was characterized by atrophic patches or plaques in 13 cases (26.0%), multiple nodules varying in size and arising on atrophic plaques or patches in 30 cases (60.0%), single or multiple nodules arising on normal skin in 7 cases (14.0%). Histologically, the tumor consisted of uniform infiltrative spindle cells arranged in a storiform or cartwheel pattern. In addition, the tumor cells expressed CD34 and vimentin. Twenty patients experienced recurrence at the primary site after resection of skin lesions with a recurrence rate of 43.5%. No distant metastasis or death occurred in these patients. Conclusions DFSP usually has various skin manifestations, is easily misdiagnosed, and can be confirmed based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Local recurrence of DFSP is common, and may occur for many times after surgical excision, but lymphatic and distant metastases are rare.

OBJECTIVE：To systematically evaluate therapeutic efficacy of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma ，in order to provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS ：Retrieved from Cochrane Library ，PubMed，Embase，CJFD，VIP，CBM and Wanfang database ，randomized controlled trials （RCTs）about Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone （trial group ）versus mifepristone alone （control group ）in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma were collected. After literature screening and data extraction ，the quality of included literatures was evaluated with modified Jadad scale. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Stata 14.0 software，and trial sequential analysis （TSA）was performed by using TSA 0.9 software. RESULTS ：A total of 12 RCTs were included ，involving 1 210 patients. The results of Meta- analysis showed that the total response rate of trial group [RR ＝1.12，95％CI（1.00，1.26），P＜0.05] was significantly higher than that of control group ；maximum uterine leiomyoma volume after treatment [SMD ＝－1.08，95％CI（－1.21，－0.95），P＜0.05]，uterine volume after treatment [SMD ＝－0.80，95％CI（－1.14，－0.45）， P＜0.05]，follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）level [SMD ＝ － 0.28，95％ CI（－ 0.45，－ 0.19），P＜0.05]，luteinizing hormone（LH）level [SMD ＝－0.44，95％CI（－0.52，－0.12）， 020-38076311。E-mail：867203217@qq.com P＜0.05]，E2 level [SMD ＝－2.69，95％CI（－3.08，－1.49）， P＜0.05] and progesterone （P）level [SMD ＝－1.27，95％CI（－1.69，－0.71），P＜0.05] of trial group were significantly lower or better than those of control group. Results of subgroup analysis showed that except for the level of FSH in 5 and 10 mg mifepristone groups （P＞0.05），maximum uterine leiomyoma volume after treatment ，uterine volume after treatment ，the levels of FSH，LH，E2 and P in trial group were significantly lower than control group. The results of TSA showed that there were definite evidences for total response rate of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone being better in the treatment of hysteromyoma. CONCLUSIONS ：Total response rate of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone in the treatment of hysteromyoma is better than mifepristone alone ，which can effectively decrease the volume of maximum uterine leiomyoma volume and uterine vilume ，and reduce the level of serum hormone.
