A 66-year-old man was admitted for a 7-day history of painful blisters and erosions in the upper lip.Real-time PCR with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-specific primers showed that the blister fluid and crusts were positive for HSV-1,but negative for HSV-2.Observation of the blister wall with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed 3 types of nucleocapsid in the karyoplast of epithelia cells,including the electron-translucent core,granular core and electron-dense core.Numerous matured viral particles with envelope were found in the cytoplasm,which were identified as HSV.The diagnosis was made as herpes simplex in the upper lip based on the above findings.PCR based molecular typing combined with observation of HSV particles via TEM may be an effective approach to the definite diagnosis of primary herpes simplex.

Objective To study the pathology and treatment of huge nonhepatic tumors in the right upper quadrant of abdomen.Methods The clinical data of 9 patients with huge nonhepatic tumor in the right upper quadrant of abdomen treated surgically at our hospital from May 2004 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Preoperative imaging failed to define the tumors as nonhepatic in original in 7 patients and operation failed to recognize the origin of the tumors in 2 patients.All the tumors were successfully resected,with combined hemigastectomy in 1 patient,partial resection of the lateral wall of the infrahepatic vena cava in 2,complete resection of adipose capsule of the right kidney in 2,pancreatoduodenectomy plus transverse colectomy in 1,and transection of pancreatic duct of the body and tail of the pancreas and pancreaticojejunostomy in 1.The median operation time was 390 min (318-660 min).The median intraoperative blood loss was 2560 ml (400-6000 ml).The median intraoperative blood transfusion was 2450 ml (0 -5250 ml).The average diameter of the resected tumor was 14.5 cm (11-30 cm),and the average tumor weight was 2465 g (960-5100 g).Postoperative pathological diagnoses showed that 8 patients had malignant tumors and 1 had a potentially malignant and undifferentiated tumor (solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas).Perioperative pancreatic anastomotic leak occurred in 1 patient,and there were no severe postoperative complications and operative death in this series.Tumor recurrence was detected 5 months following operation in 1 patient.The 1,2-,3-year survival rates were 100％,56％,33％,respectively.One patient survived for more than 5 years.Conclusions Huge non-hepatic tumors in the right upper quadrant of abdomen could easily be misdiagnosed as hepatic neoplasms.The surgical resection rate was high.The prognosis for patients who received resectional treatment was satisfactory.

Objective To study aminopeptidase N/CD13 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and its relationship with clinical data and proguosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the CD13 monoclonal antibody in 40 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma,10 cases of corresponding para-carcinoma and 10 cases of cavernous hemangioma.Results Forty cases ( 100％ ) hepatocellular carcinoma tissues were seen varying degrees of CD13 expression,3 (30％) corresponding para-carcinoma tissues were weakly positive,and 10 cases of cavernous hemangioma with no expression.The expression rate of CD13 was not significantly correlated with the patient gender,age,serum AFP value,HbsAg,differentiation,CHILD grade and TNM stage (P＞0.05).But the expression of CD13 was closely related with the patient serum AFP value,HbsAg,differentiation ( P ＜ 0.05 ).By the survival function graph we could find the expression rate was negativly correlated with survival in patients,but the expression was not significantly correlated with tumor relapse.Conclusion CD13 can be used as the surface marker of liver cancer stem cells,and it is expected to become an effective indicator of prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of endoscopic biliary metallic stent drainage (EBMSD) in the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ). MethodsA total of 48 patients with MOJ who underwent EBMSD in the General Hospital of Beijing Military Command from January 2012 to April 2014 were included in the study. Liver function parameters, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBil), direct bilirubin (DBil), and glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), were compared before and after treatment. Comparison of continuous data was made by t test. ResultsPlacement of the stent was successfully performed in 44 (91.67%) of the 48 patients; single-stent drainage was performed in 34 cases, and double-stent drainage in 10 cases. The patients had significantly reduced levels of TBil, DBil, ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT after EBMSD (all P＜0.01); the patients treated by double-stent drainage had significantly more improvements in these liver function indices than those treated by single-stent drainage (all P＜0.01). Thirty-eight cases were successfully followed up after operation, and the 3- and 6-month survival rates of these patients were 94.25% and 73.39%, respectively. ConclusionEBMSD has remarkable efficacy in the treatment of MOJ. This operation can effectively relieve jaundice and improve quality of life in MOJ patients, and double-stent drainage is superior to single-stent drainage.

ObjectiveTo discuss the treatment of complications post-pancreticoduedenectomy by reviewing the experiences from 62 cases.MethodsSixty-two cases of pancreticoduedenectomy from March 2001 to April 2011,mean age 59.3 ±4.1 years,were reviewed.All cases were divided into early group 24 cases and recent group (38 cases) by the difference in following aspects:perioperative management,the way of pancreatic bowel anastomosis and material choice,the vessels management,materials using in preventing leakage and bleeding.The differences in leakage,bleeding,infection,the stomach retention,biliary infections,liver abscess and incision infection in two groups were compared.ResultsThe early group showed pancreatic leakage in 10 cases,bleeding in 4 cases,celiac infection in 10 cases,gastric retention in 9 cases,biliary infections in 11 cases,liver abscess in 6 and infection of incision in 7 cases,respectively.Recent groups were in 4,0,0,0,1,2 and 3 cases,respectively.The comparisons showed the complications had reduced significantly in recent group than in the early group (x2 =77.08,P ＜ 0.001 ).ConclusionsMinimally invasive and high quality materials use,strengthening the perioperative management are the effective measures to reduce the postoperative complications.

Objective To study the expression and significance of Ki-67 in gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST) with CD117 immunoreactive. Methods The expression of Ki-67 was detected by SP method in 25 cases of high risk GISTS, 18 cases of moderate GISTS and 33 cases of extremely low and low risk GISTS,which were compared with the follow-up results. The relationship between Ki-67 index (LI) and risk degree was analyzed. Results Forty patients with moderate and high risk GIST were followed-up, including 26 alive,12 die of GIST and 2 die of other causes. Compared with patients of extremely low and low risk GIST, Ki-67 LI＞5 % was correlated with moderate and high risk cases (P ＜0.01), meanwhile Ki-67 LI was positively correlated with tumor sizes of ＞5 cm and tumor mitotic cell count ＞5/50 HPF, but was not with locations(P ＞0.05). Conclusion Ki-67 LI＞5 %, tumor size＞5 cm and tumor mitotic cell count＞5/50 HPF are risk indicator for GIST with CD117 immunoreactive.

Objective To discuss the CT manifestations of multi-parasite infection in liver to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods A total of 11 patients with ELISA-proved multi-parasite infection in liver were enrolled in this study.The plain and dynamic enhanced CT scans were performed.The imaging findings including the number,distribution,size,shape,density,enhancement and degree intratumaral features,cholangiectasis and abdominal lymphadenopathy were retrospectively analyzed.Results A single lesion of multi-parasite infection in liver was detected in 6 patients and multiple lesions were in other 5.The lesions in 8 patients were located in a single lobe of the liver,and involved in several hepatic lobes in other 3.The maximum diameter of the lesion ranged from 1.7 cm to 6.3 cm with an average diameter of 4.4 cm.Irregular lesions were found in 7 patients and round ones in shape were in other 4.Plain CT showed the lesions with low-intensity.All lesions were mild to moderate inhomogeneous enhancement on portal vein phase,presented honeycomb-like or separated enhancement with cholangiectasis (n=2)and abdominal lymphadenopathy (n=2).Conclusion The CT manifestations on portal vein phase in combination with clinical data are useful for the diagnosis of multi-parasite infection in liver.

Aim To observe the effect of eplerenone(EPL) and Chinese decoction on cell apoptosis in obstructive nephropathy rats.Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, UUO group, EPL group and ZY group(n=15).Except sham group, the rats in the other groups were ligated with unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) for renal interstitial fibrosis model.The rats were treated with eplerenone at 100 mg·kg-1·d-1 added to diet in EPL group, and orally 13.7 g·kg-1·d-1 decoction of Chinese medicine in ZY group.The kidneys were harvested on 14th day, the number of renal cell apoptosis were detected by TUNEL, and serum aldosterone and 8-OhdG were detected with radioimmunoassay and ELISA.Caspase-12, caspase-9, Bax and Bcl-2 were examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results The levels of serum aldosterone, serum and urine 8-OhdG and the number of positive apoptotic cells increased significantly in UUO rats compared with Sham group.The overexpression of caspase-9, caspase-12 and Bax and down-regulated Bcl-2 were obvious in UUO group(P<0.01).The level of 8-OhdG, expression of caspase-9, caspase-12 and Bax were down-regulated, and Bcl-2 expression was up-regulated in eplerenone and Chinese decoction treated rats(P<0.01).Conclusion Eplerenone and Chinese decoction could inhibit cell apoptosis induced by oxidative damage after UUO via caspases and(or) Bax pathway.
