Objective To investigate the keratin 9 gene mutation in epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) and its relationship with clinical manifestations. Methods Three Chinese pedigrees with EPPK were studied. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify the seven exons encoded by keratin 9. Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), DNA sequencing and allele-specific PCR were used to reveal the sequence variation in the PCR products. Results An insertion-deletion mutation in the exon 1 of keratin 9 497delAinsGGCT, was revealed in all 3 EPPK families, resulting in the keratin 9 change from tyrosine166 to tryptophan and leucine (Y166delinsWL). Allele-specific PCR confirmed that the mutation was not a commonly seen polymorphism, but a novel mutation which has not been reported in The Human Intermediate Filament Mutation Database (http://www.interfil.org). Conclusions A new keratin 9 gene mutation, 497delAinsGGCT, is found in these Chinese EPPK pedigrees, which may be the genetic basis of EPPK.

ObjectiveThis clinical study is aimed to investigate whether levetiracetam (LEV) can improve electrocorticogram (EEG) in epileptic children epilepsy patients with better clinical manifestation but abnormal EEG findings.MethodsTotally 39 children from our neurological clinic with partial or complex partial epilepsy seizure were included in present study and assigned equally into three groups receiving different treatment:control group,sodium valproate (VPA) group,and LEV group.Their clinical symptoms had been controlled for over one year by carbamazepine ( CBZ),but EEG results showed clearly abnormal.Epileptiform discharges were observed in routine EEG exams half a month before recruiting.After recruiting,they continued to receive CBZ alone (control group) or co-treated with VPA ( VPA group) or LEV (LEVgroup),respectively.Six months later,EEG was taken again and results were analyzed.ResultsImprovement rate were 9.1％ ( control group),23.1％ ( VPA group),and 66.7％ (LEV group),respectively;Overall statistical difference was reached among three groups ( P＜0.01 ) and between control group and LEV group( P＜0.012 5 ),but no statistical difference between control group and VPA group was reached ( P＞0.0125).ConclusionCo-treatment of LEV in child epilepsy patients receiving CBZ can significantly decrease abnormal EEG discharge frequency during interictal period.

Objective: To investigate the molecular genetic and clinicopathologic characteristics, immunophenotypes, diagnostic and differential diagnostic features of myxoid angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (MAFH). Methods: Three cases of MAFH were collected from the archives of Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital between January 2015 to August 2018. The clinical and radiologic features, histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, molecular genetics and prognosis were analyzed. Results: Patients consisted of 2 women and 1 man aged 37 years, 46 years, and 57 years, respectively. The clinical manifestations of 3 patients were presented as a painless, slowly-enlarged mass with a duration ranging of 2 weeks, 2 months and 50 years. These tumors were located at the deep somatic soft tissue of extremities or limbs (right hip, left forearm, left wrist, respectively) and 2 were preoperatively considered as ganglion cyst or giant cell tumor of tendon sheath by imaging examinations. The diameter of circumscribed mass lesion was ranged from 3.0 to 7.5 cm, which exhibited a gray white to tan and gelatinous cut surface. Extensive hemorrhage and cystic changes were observed in 2 cases. Under low magnification, all tumors showed a dense fibrous pseudo-capsule with a peritumoral lymphoplasmacytic cuff and a multi-nodular growth pattern. Blood-filled cystic spaces were observed in 2 tumors. The myxoid stroma occupied 60.0%, 80.0% and 90.0% area of the entire tumor, respectively. Within the myxoid areas, tumor cells were oval to stellate and arranged in cord-like, microcystic and reticular growth patterns. Transitions of myxoid tumor components to more solid areas with typical histology of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) were observed at least focally in all the three cases. The tumor cells exhibited minimal atypia and scarce mitoses (1 to 2/50 HPF) without necrosis, and prominently focal intracytoplasmic vacuoles were identified in one case. The results of immunohistochemistry staining showed that, 2/3 cases focally expressed desmin, 2/3 focally expressed epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), and 1/3 focally expressed CD99. The positive index of Ki67 was approximately 1% to 5%. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that EWSR1 gene rearrangement occurred in all of the three cases. During the period of follow-up, one case showed local recurrence at 15 months, one case showed postoperative recurrence at 24 months, and the recurrent tumor slowly grew for 120 months until the second resection, without recurrence at the following 2 months. The left case showed a disease-free survival at 32 months. Conclusions MAFH is a rare subtype of AFH with a low-grade behavior and may lead to diagnostic confusions. Carefully searching for the typical AFH histomorphology and combining with EWSR1 gene rearrangement test can help to distinguish MAFH from other mimickers.

To investigate the effectiveness and safety of diverticular peroral endoscopic myotomy (D-POEM) for mid-esophageal diverticulum. Data of consecutive patients in the prospective database with mid-esophageal diverticulum who received D-POEM in West China Hospital, Sichuan University between April 2014 to September 2019 were collected. The modified Eckardt scoring system for mid-esophageal diverticulum was used to evaluate the severity of diverticular symptoms. The effectiveness and safety of D-POEM were evaluated in terms of clinical success, technical success, complications and recurrence. A total of 7 patients with mid-esophageal diverticulum were included. Clinical and technical success was achieved in all patients with operation time of 16-70 minutes. No serious complications (2 cases with minor complications) or recurrence occurred. The follow-up time was 2-16 months. The median modified Eckardt score decreased from 3 points before operation to 0 points after operation. It is preliminarily believed that D-POEM ensures a complete septotomy between normal esophageal lumen and esophageal diverticulum. It is a safe and effective technique for mid-esophageal diverticulum. The modified Eckardt scoring system is suitable for symptom evaluation before and after treatment of mid-esophageal diverticulum.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features, diagnostic and differential diagnostic aspects of pigmented microcystic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC). Methods: Five cases of pigmented microcystic ChRCC were collected at Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2013 to January 2018. The clinical features, gross and histological appearances, immunohistochemistry and prognosis were analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed. Results: There were 3 men and 2 women with age range of 45 years to 72 years (mean 57 years). All tumors were incidentally identified by imaging examinations. Grossly, the tumors were well-demarcated and showed diameters ranging from 1.8 cm to 4.0 cm(mean 2.9 cm). On cross section, the tumors were brown to gray tan with solid cut-surface mixed with multiple cysts of variable sizes. Hemorrhage was common, central scar was not seen. Microscopically, the tumors were composed predominantly of irregular and variable-sized microcystic or tubulocystic patterns, with extensive cribriform structures formation and focal adenomatous rearrangements seen in one case each, and focal pseudo-papillary structures (lacking true fibro-vascular cores) seen in two cases. Microscopic calcifications and psammoma bodies were present in all tumors. Four tumors composed mostly of eosinophilic cells whereas 1 predominated in plant-like cells. Brown pigmentations, either intracytoplasmic or extracytoplasmic, were noted in all five cases. The tumor cells had irregular, low-grade nuclei (Paner grade: 1) frequently with binucleation and perinuclar halos. Tumor necrosis or sarcomatous transformation was not seen. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells expressed CK, EMA, and E-cadherin diffusely and strongly in five cases; and CK7 and CD117 diffusely in four cases. They were negative for vimentin, CD10, CA9, AMACR/P504s, TFE3, HMB45, Melan A, S-100 protein, synaptophysin and chromogranin. Partial nephrectomies were performed for all five patients; there was no tumor recurrences or metastases at a follow-up of 2 to 55 months (mean, 17 months). Conclusions Pigmented microcystic ChRCC is a rare histological variant of ChRCC with relatively indolent behavior, and shows morphologic heterogeneity which can elicit a wide range of differential diagnoses. Careful attentions to search for typical features of classic ChRCC with the use of immunohistochemistry can help to distinguish this tumor from its many mimickers.
