The classifications of the thymoma and their pathologic diagnosis is closely related to the clinical treatment of the disease. Similarly, it is a focal on the clinicopathologic study today. In this paper,the classification of the thymoma and their developing process in the histopathological changes was extensively discussed, and various type of the histopatholgic characteristic of the tumor was compared. It was suggested the new edition of the thymoma classifications of WHO should be operated in practical work. Additionally, the B1 type thymom, the thymic lymphoma and the histopathological changes of thymus in myasthenia gravis patients were described respectively, and it was also considered that the new edition of the thymoma classifications of WHO had some incomplete aspects in the pathological diagnosis.

Objectives:To study the clinicopathological changes of mediastinum lesions.　Methods:Specimens from 405 cases of mediastinum lesions from 1967 to 1997 were studied.　Results:Sex ratio, male to female was 216 to 189, median age was 26 years. There were 230(56.8%) cases of tumors and tumor-like lesions, 172(42.5%) cases manifested with myasthenia gravis. Case composition, 113 cases of thymus lesion(49.1%), 36 cases(15.7%) of germ cell tumors, 30 cases(13.0%) of neurological neoplasm, 6 cases(2.6%) of lymphoma, and 29 cases(12.6%) of cysts. Location, 165 cases(71.7%) were in the front mediastinum in which thymoma was the commonest, 6 cases(2.6%) were in the middle mediastinum in which lymphoma was the commonest, 30 cases were from the posterior mediastinum in which neurological tumors were the commonest. Follicular proliferation of the thymus was observed in 145 cases(84.3%) of MG, and 27 cases did not(15.7%) . Thirty eight cases(22.1%) of MG were from thymoma, and 12 cases(7.0%) from microscopic thymoma.　Conclusions: Prognosis of MG with thymus follicular proliferation was better than those without proliferation and thymoma, fortunately, most thymus with MG were follicular proliferative. Microscopic thymoma could be discovered on pathology. Thymus tumors consisted more than half of the mediastinum neoplasm, the incident of lymphoma was low.

Objective MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are of important clinical value in various tumors.However, few studies are reported about their role in thymic epithelial tumors.This article aims to explore differential expression profile of miRNAs in type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma.Methods This study included the pathological data about 45 cases of type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma surgically treated in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2015, of which 3 cases of type B3 thymoma (control group) and another 3 cases of thymic carcinoma (case group) were subjected to miRNA microarray for determination of the differential expressions of miRNAs in the tumor tissues.The up-and down-regulated miRNAs were calculated, their target genes were predicted via online databases, and the thymus-related genes were identified.Results Totally, 32 differentially expressed miRNAs (including miR-125b-1-3p, miR-3175, and miR-4462) were up-regulated and another 19 (including miR-361-5p, miR-130a-3p, and miR-3651) down-regulated in thymic carcinoma.AKT1, C9, CD19, CDC42, LSS, and MYC were identified as the target genes of miR-377-5p, ADCYAP1R1, ASPA, CAD, and CD63 as the target genes of miR-458-5p, and AKAP12, CD28, FOXP1, and MDM4 as the target genes of miR-183-5p.Conclusion Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma and their target genes predicted using the prediction software, which may provide some valid evidence for further study of thymic epithelial tumors.

Objective To research pacemaker cells outside conductive system of rat and mouse heart. Methods Paraffin and frozen serial sections (stained with HE, Masson, cholinesterase technique), and ultrastructural sections, from atrial tissue of 10 rats and 15 mice were observed by light and electron microscopy to find latent pacemaker-like cells. Results Some round or elliptical cells were scattered and irregularly detected in right and left atrial tissue of rat and mouse. Their nuclei were larger, plasma was clearer and cellular organelles were fewer than those of working myocyte. These cells were similar to pacemaker cells in sinoatrial node.Conclusion There are some pacemaker-like cells in right and left atrial tissue of rat and mouse. The finding can provide a morphological basis for ectopic beat of atrium.

Objective To investigate the microenvironment of the thymus on lymphocytes, dendritic cells and epithelial cells were studied in patients with myasthenia gravis.Methods (1) The thymus specimens of 25 cases were examined using light microscopy,in which 10 were males,15 females with an average age of 31 years old. The lymphoid tissue with proliferation was in 13 cases, without proliferation in 12 cases. Additionally, 7 cases had congenital heart disease (the average age was 27 years old) and the thymus of an infant (1 case) was examined. (2) Immunohistochemical staining for CD1a?CD4?CD8?CD20?CD45RO?S 100?CKPan and EMA were performed onto the specimens. Some of them with positive dendritic cells on S 100 and CD1a were counted. Results (1) It showed that the positive cells of CD1a located at cortical areas of the thymus with or without lymphoid tissue proliferation in MG and non MG cases. However, there were some positive cells in the medulla, Hassall corpuscles and the vascular space areas of the thymus. (2) The CD4 staining was negative. (3) The expression of CD8 and CD45RO was expressed in the medulla, peripheral areas of the Hassall corpuscles and vascular space of the thymus. (4) CD20 was expressed in the medulla and the germinal central areas. (5) The expression of S 100 for dendritic cells were 23.5 and 47.5 per 100 mm 2 in both having medullary follicular hyperplasia and no follicular hyperplasia groups. The CD1a were 2.1, 3.8 per 100 mm 2, respectively. The statistic was significant as compared with both groups with or without proliferation of thymus medulla. (6) The expression of CK was located in the cortex, medulla and Hassall corpuscles. But EMA, CEA were negative. Conclusions (1) There were expressions of suppressive T cells (CD8) and B lymphocytes (CD20) with or without the thymus medullary lymphoid follicular hyperplasia. (2) The changes of numerous quantity of the dendritic cells on the thymus were displayed which showed a relation to the proliferation of T, B lymphocytes and the formation of germinal central of thymus.It suggested that the dendritic cells and the other stromal cells of the thymus may serve as an important role in MG occurrence.

Objective To analyze and discuss the possible reasons of the bone resorption beneath the prostheses after chin augmentation.Methods Twelve patients were admitted to our department for further correction after chin augmentation with materials.The bone resorption was observed through the clinical research and X-ray examination.Results All the patients were underwent the removal of the materials,genioplasty was performed in 8 patients,and two patients were treated by chin augmentation with polyethylene.All the patients were satisfied with their facial contouring.Mild bone resorption was found in seven patients (depth of bone resorption ≤2 mm),in which five patients were used with silicone materials,two patients were performed with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implants.Moderate bone resorption was seen in three cases.All of them were used with silicone implants (2 mm ＜ depth of bone resorption ≤4 mm).Severe bone resorption happened in two patients (depth of bone resorption ＞4 mm).One was used with silicone implant,and the other one was carried out with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant.Conclusions The imbalance among mentalis muscle,materials and underlying bone might be one of the key reasons.Thus for mild and moderate microgenia cases,chin augmentation with material is suitable,while long-term fellow-up study is necessary.But for the cases of severe mirogenia or microgenia and micrognathia with dentofacial deformity or mentalis muscle hyperactivity,genioplasty might be performed as well to correct their deformities.

Objective To investigate effect of arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis in the treatment of endstage post-traumatic ankle arthritis.Methods Between July 2007 and December 2010,21 patients with post-traumatic ankle arthritis underwent arthroscopic arthrodesis in our hospital.There were 14 males and 7 females,aged from 21 to 68 years (average,37 years).Before operation,conservative treatments were unsuccessful in all patients.During operation,the articular cartilage was removed completely,and then micro-fracture was made in bone near articular surface.Then,the operating ankle were reduced and fixed provisionally with Kirschner wires.A C-arm X-ray system was used to confirm the reduction of operating ankle,and the operating ankle was fixed with cannulate screws if the reduction was satisfactory.Two patients also underwent arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis.After operation,the affected ankle was fixed with plaster for six weeks.Then partial weight-bearing were allowed and gradually increased until bone union.Results All patients were followed up for 1 to 4 years (average,1.8 years).All affected ankle achieved bone union after 10 to 16 weeks (average,12 weeks).No early complications occurred,such as poor wound healing and infection.Subtalar arthritis with pain occurred in 3 patients; the symptom relieved in 2 of them after conservative treatment and in 1 patient after subtalar arthrodesis.The VAS score improved from preoperative 8.1±1.5 to 2.7± 1.1 one year postoperatively,which showed statistical significance (t=3.153,P=0.005).Conclusion Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis provides an alternative method for treating end-stage post-traumatic ankle arthritis,which has some advantages,such as less surgical trauma,more beautiful incision and higher fusion rate.However,it needs special equipments and a learning curve.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological characteristics of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( PNHL) of lung. Methods The clinical features, morphology and immunohistopathological phenotypes were retrospectively studied in 28 cases of PNHL and re-viewed of the literature. Results The composition of this group of cases is 18 cases of male, 10 cases female. The a median age of pa-tients was 57 years old. According to the WHO classification, all of the 28 cases of in our PNHL series were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( NHL) , including 17 mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue extranodal marginal zone lymphomas ( MALT) , 5 diffuse large B cell lymphomas ( DLBLC) , 2 NK/T cell lymphomas and 2 anaplastic large cell lymphomas, 1 mantle cell lymphoma ( MCL) and 1 pe-ripheral T cell lymphomas, unspecified, respectively. One-third PNHL patients presented with specific clinical symptoms such as cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and fatigue, Imaging examination showed unilateral or bilateral pulmonary infiltrate, single lesions or multiple nodules, and the lesions always involved with the trachea, bronchus and lung. Follow-up was completed in 16 patients ( range, 3 to 38 months) . 3 cases were conducted with pneumonectomy, among which 2 cases were given postoperative adjuvant chem-otherapy. Seven patients were given chemotherapy alone, and 5 patients did not give any treatment following initial diagnosis. At the time of last follow-up, 13 patients were alive with disease, 2 patients were died. The tumor metastasis in the left inguinal lymph node was found in one patient after 2 years by surgery. Conclusions It was shown that there was no specific clinical manifestations and fea-tures of pulmonary PNHL. Among of them, the MALT is the most common diseases, and the highly aggressive lymphomas many be oc-cur, such as the DLBLC, NK/T cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of PNHL depends on pathological examination. The immunohistochemi-cal staining and molecular pathological technology may helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the tumors.

Objective To explore the growing development and community succession of main sarcos-aphagous insects on pig carcasses in summer indoor and outdoor environment in Shenzhen area and to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI). Methods From early May to August in 2013, in Forensic Med-ical Examination Center of Shenzhen Public Security Bureau, the main insect species and the decomposi-tion process were observed in two adult pig carcasses of simulative indoor and outdoor environment. The different decomposition stages and the community succession of insects were recorded. Results The indoor and outdoor pig carcasses showed skeleton 412.5 and 325 hours after death, respectively. The main species of flies on pig carcasses were Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya rufifacies and Chrysomya chani. The main species of beetles were Crecphilus maxillosus, Necrobia ruficollis, Saprinus splendens and Dermestes maculatu. The dominant species of flies in the outdoor pig carcasses obviously produced the second generations due to the effect of mass rainfall, nor in the indoor pig carcasses. Conclusion There are regular patterns on the community succession of insects on pig carcasses in summer indoor and out-door environment in Shenzhen area. The activity patterns of seven typical insects and their larva show important value for estimating PMI.
