Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2006;0(05):-
Objective To detect the genome-wide genetic alterations in central neurocytoma,and to study the pathogensis of central neurocytoma. Methods Comparative genomic hybridization(CGH) analysis was performed in 10 central neurocytomas. Results Chromosomal imbalances were demonstrated in 6 cases.Overrepresentation of genetic material was detected in 4 cases on Chromosome 2p and 10q,and 3 cases on Chromosome 18q. Conclusion(Genetic abnormalities) on Chromosome 2p,10q and 18q may be associated with the pathogenesis of central neurocytoma.

Objective To investigate the pathologic appearances,immunohistochemical features,and genetic changes of malignant triton tumor(MTT). Methods One case of MTT was studied pathologically and immunohistochemically,and the related literatures were reviewed. Results A huge mass,demonstrated in the thorax by X ray and CT scan was seen in the posterior mediastinum in the surgery.Histologically,the tumor was composed of spindle cells with significant atypia.Some of the tumor cells had dense eosinophilic cytoplasm.Immunohistochemical staining revealed positive for myoglobin,desmin and S-100 in most of the tumor cells.The pathological diagnosis was MTT of the posterior mediastinum. Conclusion Cases of MTT in the mediastinum are very rare,with less specific clinical and imaging manifestations.The diagnosis is mainly made on the basis of pathological examination and immunohistochemical staining.

Objective To detect genetic alterations in pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA), and to investigate the mechanism of development of this neoplasm. Methods Three patients with PXA were studied. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was performed to study chromosomal imbalances in PXA. Using immunohistochemical analysis, the expression of EGFR was detected in PXA. Results Using CGH analysis, genetic imbalance was detected on at least one chromosome for each case. One patient revealed multiple genetic alterations, including gains of 2p14-pter, 4p15-pter, 7p21-qter, 11q24-qter, 12 and 15q14-qter,as well as losses of 8p11.2-pter, 9p11-p23, 10p12-pter, and 13q14-qter. This patient experienced tumor recurrence and died one year later. Gain on Chromosome 7 and loss on Chromosome 8p were demonstrated in 2 of the 3 patients. Immunohistochemically, no EGFR positive reaction was found in all cases. Conclusion Detection of genetic alterations is very important in understanding the pathogenesis of PXA.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features,diagnosis,differential diagnosis and treatment of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation(SANT). Methods The clinical data,pathologic characteristics,immunophenotype and postoperative follow-up of SANT were analysed. Results There were no specific findings in the clinical manifestations of the 4 cases of SANT.Grossly,the cut surface of the masses was gray-white and vague nodularity was observed.Microscopically,it was characterized by the multinodular angiomatoid appearance in a fibrosclerotic stroma.The nodules were composed of slit-like,sinusoid-like vascular spaces and were interspersed with a population of spindly or ovoid cells.It was revealed by immunohistochemistry that the expression of CD34 in some vessels' endothelial cells was positive,and CD8 was negative.While in another vessels' endothelial cells,CD8 was positive and CD34 was negative.The expression of SMA,Actin,Vimentin,Collage IV and CD68 was positive in all of the 4 cases,while that of CD21,Desmin and NSE was negative.No relapse or metastasis was found during the follow-up.Conclusion SANT is a rarely encountered benign lesion of the spleen,which should be distinguished from the malignant tumor of the spleen.The diagnosis counts on the pathologic and immunohistochemical findings.It could be cured by splenectomy with a favourable prognosis.

Objective To investigate the value of thyroid transcription factor-1(TTF-1) in the diagnosis and biological behavior assessment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Thirty liver specimens obtained from benign lesions were analysed, among which 25 were hepatic cirrhosis and inflammatory diseases, and the other 5 were adenomas. And there were 176 specimens of liver tumors, among which 142 were HCC (well differentiated, n=12; moderately differentiated, n=57; poorly differentiated, n=73), 17 were intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) and the other 17 were liver metastatic carcinoma (MC). The expression of TTF-1 was examined immunohistochemically in the above tissues, and the difference in expression of TTF-1 among different tissues was examined by Fisher's exact test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results TTF-1 was significantly expressed in the cytoplasms of all the hepatocytes besides tumors and liver benign lesions. The expression rate of TTF-1 in HCC was 78.9% (112/142), however, TTF-1 was negatively expressed in ICC and MC(P

Objective To compare the prognosis of sentinel node-positive breast cancer patients forgoing axillary lymph node dissection.Methods A systematic literature search (Medline,Embase,Cochrane Library)ended in April 2014 was performed to identify all eligible articles.Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data.RevMan5 was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 1026 abstracts were retrieved and 18 clinical controlled studies finally included,the total number of patients were 47 894,7389 had micrometastases in sentinel lymph node,35 217 had macrometastases in sentinel lymph node and 5288 had positive sentinel lymph node regardless of micrometastases or macrometastases.For patients with MIC,the 5-year axillary recurrence rate,5-year disease free survival and 5-year overall survival had no significant difference between patients who only received sentinel lymph node biopsy and patients who received further axillary lymph node dissection,(OR =1.78;95% CI:0.72-4.39,P=0.21),(OR =0.76,95%CI:0.56-1.04,P=0.08),(OR=0.77,95%CI:0.43-1.40,P=0.39).For patients with MAC,the 5-year axillary recurrence rate had no significant difference between patients who only received sentinel lymph node biopsy and patients who received further axillary lymph node dissection,(OR =1.21;95% CI:O.76-1.91,P =0.42).For patients with positive sentinel lymph node regardless of micrometastases or macrometastases,the 5-year axillary recurrence rate and 5-year overall survival had no significant difference between patients who only received sentinel lymph node biopsy and patients who received further axillary lymph node dissection,(OR =1.29;95% CI:0.92-1.80,P =0.14),(OR =0.96,95% CI:0.64-1.45,P =0.84).Conclusions Among patients with limited positive SLN of breast cancer,patients forgoing ALND compared with ALND did not have obvious affect on long-term survival.
