Objective To evaluate clinicopathologic features and prognosis of primary gastric anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL).Methods Clinical data and parafiin blocks of 4 patients diagnosed with primary gastric ALCL were obtained. The diagnosis of all cases was based on the criteria of WHO classification of hematolymphoid neoplasm.Furthermore,chromosomal rearrangement involving ALK gene was detected by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status was determined by in situ hybridization(ISH) for EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs).Results The patients (3 males and 1 female) were from 27 to 87 years old, with a median age of 58.5 years. All the four cases presented with a solitary ulcerative mass in stomach. Morphologically, the normal architecture of gastric wall was effaced by the diffuse infiltration of tumor cells in which the characteristic hallmark cells were easily identified.The tumor cells of all cases showed a consistently strong expression of LCA and CD30,and CD3e was expressed in 3 of the 4 cases.Both ALK expression and ALK gene rearrangements were negative in all cases.Two cases underwent total or partial gastrectomy followed by CHOP chemotherapy. Another one patient was treated with chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. None of these 3 patients developed a relapse or progression till the last follow-up on Nov 30,2011. While the rest one patient refused to take any treatment and died 20 months after diagnosis. Conclusions Primary gastric ALCL is very rare and usually ALK negative. Its pathologic features as well as the clinical outcome are quite similar to the ALK negative ALCL from other sites, except the more frequently positive CD3e Early diagnosis and proper therapy are of great significance to the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the incidence, clinical patterns, and species distribution of pathogenic fungi of onychomyeosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis (CVH), and to analyze the relationship between onychomycosis and CVH. Methods From November 2005 to October 2006, direct microscopy and fungal culture were performed on nail samples from CVH patients with clinically suspected onychomycosis in the two largest institutions for communicable disease control in Guangzhou city. The incidence, clinical patterns, and species distribution of pathogenic fungi of onychomycosis were assessed based on the findings in mycologic examinations. Results The study randomly recruited 995 patients with CVH, and onychomycosis was diagnosed in 116 patients. The incidence of onychomycosis was 11.66% in total, 6.20%, 8.59%, 14.09%, 19.67% in patients with mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe CVH respectively, 7.09%, 17.29%, 19.13% and 27.27% in patients with a clinical course of CVH of 0.5-9 years, 10-19 years, 20-29 years, ≥30 years respectively. The most common clinical pattern was distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO, 69.83%), followed by total dystrophic onychomycosis (TDO, 14.66%). Among the pathogenic fungi, dermatophytes amounted to 71.43%, yeasts 21.43%, moulds 7.14%, and Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequently isolated fungus (42.86%). Conclusions The incidence of onychomycosis in patients with CVH is correlated with the severity and course of CVH. Among these patients, the most common clinical pattern is DLSO with the most frequent fungal species being dermatophytes and predominant fungal isolate being Trichophyton rubrum.

Objective To investigate clinical manifestations and clinical diagnosis and treatment and pathological and immunohistochemical features in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Methods The clinical data of fifty-two cases with gastrointestinal stromal tumors were collected, whose clinical diagnosis and treat-ment and pathological features were retrospectively analyzed from January 1995 to December 2007. Results All patients received operation therapy, only forty-five cases with complete surgical resection. The immu-nohistochemical staining showed that the cases with CD117 positive accounted for 100% (52/52) and CD34 positive accounted for 88.5% (46/52). Conclusions Surgery was necessary for all patients, especially complete surgical resection. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors were poor in preoperative diagnosis, which diag-nosis was based on the immunohistochemical staining of the tumor tissue. CD117 and CD34 tumor markers may help to diagnose gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of synchronous multiple early gastric cancer (SMEGC), and to reduce the rate of missed diagnosis.Methods:Clinical data of 227 early gastric cancer patients treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and/or surgery in Songjiang Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The differences of clinical, endoscopic and pathological characteristics between solitary early gastric cancer (SEGC) group (200 cases) and SMEGC group (27 cases) were compared. The relevance of endoscopic and pathological features of major and minor lesions of SMEGC was also analyzed.Results:Among the 227 early gastric cancer patients, 27 (11.9%) were SMEGC (58 lesions), of which 25 cases were detected preoperatively, and 2 cases were reexamined within 6 months after surgery with another lesion found at a different site from the previous lesion. In the SMEGC group, the percentages of male and atrophy and intestinal metaplasia in surrounding mucosa were significantly higher than those of the SEGC group [85.2% (23/27) VS 61.5% (123/200), χ2=5.815, P=0.016; 96.3% (26/27) VS 81.0% (162/200), χ2=3.912, P=0.048]. The mean age of the SMEGC group was significantly higher than that of the SEGC group (68.7±6.7 years VS 63.8±9.8 years, t=-2.561, P=0.011). The correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between the major and minor lesions of SMEGC in the size of lesion ( r=0.640, P<0.001), vertical location ( r=0.518, P=0.006), macroscopic type ( r=0.904, P<0.001) and depth of invasion ( r=0.470, P=0.013). Conclusion:SMEGC is prevalent in elderly males with atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. It is necessary to be alert to the possibility of multiple cancer lesions, if an early cancer lesion is found under endoscopy, especially those that may have the same or similar shape and invasion depth in the same vertical distribution range.

Eukaryotic expression plasmid pCI-neo-mdr1 which contains human multidrug resistance gene 1(mdr1),was constructed and transferred into human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells by use of liposome. G418 was used to screen the cells successfully with mdr1 and the selected cells was named HepG2/mdr1 Morphological and biological properties of HepG2/mdr1 cells were observed. The results show that the constructed HepG2/mdr1 cell line was high efficient and stationary in the expression of mdr1. The work was valuable and desirable for the establishment of multidrug resistant cell models,and for the study of MDR in human hepatoma. Furthermore,the work also provided a perfect model for the research of relationship between insulin resistance and MDR in hepatocarcinoma cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the change of Th17/Treg cell in patients with psoriasis arthritis (PA) and its clinical significance.

METHODSThe levels of IL-17 and TGF-β1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in PA patients (n=35) and healthy controls(n=30). The frequencies of Th17 and Treg in the peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry.

RESULTSCompared with the healthy controls, Th17/Treg in peripheral blood were significantly increased (p<0.05), Th17-related cytokine IL-17 significantly increased (p<0.05), and TGF-β1 significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the PA patients.

CONCLUSIONTh17/Treg cell and the related cytokines IL-17 and TGF-β1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of PA.

Objective To assess the risk factors of the in-hospital mortality of acute type A aortic dissection after operation. Method From January 2003 to June 2008,185 patients, 144 males and 41 females, with acute type A aortic dissection operated on were enrolled. The average age of patients was (49.46 ± 11.04 ) years old.The patients' demographics, history, clinical features, and some laboratory examinations were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analysis followed by logistic regression analysis were carried out to identify the predictors of inhospital mortality. Results The in-hospital mortality rate was 9.1%. The results of univariate and multivariate analyses as follows: pre-operation positive neurological symptom (Univariate OR = 5.084,95%CI:1.792 -14.426, P = 0.002; Multivariate OR = 5.538,95%CI: 1.834 - 16.721, P = 0.002, respectively), hypotension (Univariate OR = 6.986,95%CI:1.510- 32.323,P =0.013; multivariate OR = 1.998,95%CI:0.315-12.679,P = 0.463, respectively) and renal failure (Univariate OR = 3.594,95%CI:1.237 - 10.438,P =0.019; Multivariate OR = 3.254,95%CI:1.034- 10.242, P= 0.044, respectively). Conclusions There are two predictors, pre-operation positive neurological symptom and renal failure, of pre-hospital mortality found in current analyses. Our results may improve the regimen made by cardiac surgeons and emergency doctors so as to help patients and their relatives to make correct decision.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical characteristics and microsurgical managements of rare tumors in the sellar region.

METHODSSix rare cases of tumors in the sellar region treated by microsurgery from Jan 2000 to Jan 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. Subsequent treatments were according to the status of preoperative alpha fetal protein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) measurement as well as confirmed by histopathological examination in all six patients.

RESULTSTotal resection of the tumor was achieved in 2 cases and subtotal resection in 4 cases. Postoperative histopathology confirmed that the lesions were tumors in 5 cases and fungal pseudotumor in 1 case. Moreover, variety of histological types were observed in the present series, including leiomyosarcoma, malignant yolk sac tumor, mixed germ cell tumor, embryonal carcinoma, pilocytic astrocytoma and fungal pseudotumor, respectively. The serum levels of AFP and HCG were elevated to some extent in the patients with malignant yolk sac tumor, mixed germ cell tumor or embryonal carcinoma. Follow-up was conducted in all patients for 1 month to 3 years. The patients with malignant yolk sac tumor and embryonal carcinoma as well as leiomyosarcoma died in 5, 6, 10 months after operation, respectively. Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred in the case of fungal pseudotumor at 2 months after surgery. The other two patients were surviving well.

CONCLUSIONSRare non-germinomatous malignant germ cell tumors are predominantly susceptible to the sellar region. Furthermore, High misdiagnosis rate and poor prognosis are characteristic in the present study. Dynamic AFP and HCG detection may play an important role in the diagnosis of those non-germinomatous malignant germ cell tumors located in the sellar region. The importance of awareness of the presence of such rare lesions in the sellar region is emphasized.
