Objective To improve the understanding of blastic plasmacytoid dendric cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Methods The clinicopathological features of 2 cases with BPDCN diagnosed in the Department of Pathology in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were analyzed retrospectively. The relevant literatures were reviewed as well. Results The two BPDCN patients were both elderly men with skin nodules. The tumor cells infiltrated diffusely into the whole dermis with sparing the epidermis. BPDCN cells were small to medium size with round or oval irregular nuclei and small nucleoli. Numerous mitoses figures were seen. Immunohistochemistry stain showed that CD4 and CD56 were positive and CD20 and CD3 were negative in the 2 BPDCN cases. Only 1 case was positive for CD123. Conclusions BPDCN is a rare malignant hematopoietic tumor, which is likely to involve skin. The features of morphology and immunophenotype are crucial to make correct diagnosis.

In this study ,we detected the positive rate of anti‐HBs and anti‐HBc antibody among the subject population in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital ,and to evaluate different detection methods of anti‐HBc antibody .The positive rate of anti‐HBs and anti‐HBc antibody were detected by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) and one‐step com‐petitive enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from the year 2012 to 2013 .The subject population was divided into three groups :group 1 with the age of less than 2 years old ,group 2 with the age of 2‐20 years old ,and group 3 with the age of more than 20 years old .The positive rates of anti‐HBV antibody in the different groups were analyzed .Furthermore ,anti‐HBc antibody of 92 samples selected from the immunized population was detected by CMIA and three kinds of ELISA reagents . Meanwhile ,the detection of anti‐HBc antibody by the same ELISA reagent but different operating modes were performed in these samples .The highest positive rate of anti‐HBs antibody was detected in group 1 ,and there was no significance difference of positive rate between two detection methods of anti‐HBs antibody among three groups .The positive rate of anti‐HBc anti‐body using CMIA was significantly lower than those with ELISA among group 1 and 2 .Among the 92 samples ,the positive rate of anti‐HBc antibody was 2 .2% using CMIA .With three kinds of method of ELISA reagent ,the positive rate of anti‐HBc antibody were 79 .3% ,82 .6% and 94 .6% ,respectively ,and there was no statistical significance among the results of three ELISA reagents .Anti‐HBc was not detected from 19 samples using ELISA methods with different operating modes .It's con‐cluded that the anti‐HBs antibody declined with the increase of age ,and it is necessary to discriminate the specific population to strengthen immune system .The obviously higher positive rate of anti‐HBc antibody was found by ELISA in immunized popula‐tion than that by CM IA . Concerning on the false positive of ELISA , specimen sampling with one specific test item or the CMIA method was recommended to detect the anti‐HBc antibody .

PurposeTo evaluate the value of combined employment of thyroid imaging-reporting and data system (TI-RADS) and ultrasound elastography (UE) in the differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Materials and Methods The clinical data of 174 patients with 232 thyroid nodules confirmed surgically or pathologically with puncture biopsy were retrospectively analyzed. All nodules were examined by ultrasound and UE. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of TI-RADS, UE and the combination of the two methods were calculated respectively, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the value of each of the three methods in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules by comparison of area under curve (AUC).Results The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of UE (number of benign nodules: 155, number of malignant nodules: 77) were 88.9%, 91.8% and 90.9%, respectively; those of TI-RADS (number of benign nodules: 153, number of malignant nodules: 79) were 76.4%, 85.0% and 82.3%, respectively. The values measured by UE were significantly higher than those by TI-RADS (χ2=3.920 and 7.446,P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy measured by the combined use of the two methods (number of benign nodules: 155, number of malignant nodules: 77) were 93.0%, 93.7% and 93.5%, respectively, which were higher than either of the methods, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.725, 6.450 and 13.728,P<0.05). The areas under the curve (AUC) were 0.833 and 0.812 respectively for UE and TI-RADS; the AUC for the combination of the two methods was 0.914, which had significantly higher diagnosis accuracy than that by any single method, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=1.95 and 2.55,P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with gray scale ultrasound, the combination of TI-RADS and UE has higher diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy for excluding malignancy in diagnose of thyroid nodules.
