Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is one of the most common benign liver tumors.It has no potential for malignant transformation and an extremely low rate of rupture or hemorrhage.However,its nature and pathogenesis are still controversial.Accurately diagnosing atypical lesions of FNH based on clinical presentation and radiographic studies are still difficult.This review aims to analyze current literature of FNH and to discuss the new progress of pathologically and clinically relevant advice regarding diagnosis and management.

Objective To construct recombinant eukaryotic expression vector for EGFP fused HIV-1 integrase expression. Methods Wild type of HIV-1 integrase gene was cloned into eukaryotic expression vector-pcDNA6/V5-HisA. After restricted enzyme mapping, PCR confirmation and sequence confirmation, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into HeLa cells with Lipofectamine2000. After 24 hours, the expression of integrase was examined by immunofluorescence with confocal fluorescent microscopy. The cells were fixed with 4%paraformaledhyde. The cell nuclei were stained with Propidium Iodide (PI). Then the expression was imaged and analyzed with Confocal Microscopy. Results The integrase expressed significantly in HeLa cells in 24 hours after transfection. Integrase was expressed and localized into nuclei mainly. After fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, the cell nuclei were stained with PI. When nuclei were showed in red in normal cells, the nuclei with integrase over expression turned yellow or orange. Conclusion The construction of eukaryotic expression vector of integrase was successful. Integrase was expressed and localized into nuclei mainly after transfection in HeLa cells.

Objective To study the role and clinical significance of chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the occurrence and development of renal cell carcinoma. Methods Expression of CXCR4 and VEGF were detected by SP immunohistochemical technique in 56 cases of kidney carcinoma tissues (including 20 cases of lymph node metastasis), 10 normal tissues nearby kidney cancer. Results The positive rates of CXCR4 and VEGF were 66. 1% (37/56) and 73. 2% (41/56),which were significantly higher than those in normal tissues( 20. 0% (2/10) and 30. 0% (3/10), respectively) (P ＜ 0. 05 ＝. The expression of CXCR4 protein was significantly positively correlated with that of VEGF protein (r = 0. 315 ,P ＜ 0.05 ＝ in renal cell carcinoma. The expression of CXCR4 and VEGF was closely related to stages of tumor ( χ2 = 9. 520, P = 0. 023; χ2 = 9. 072, P = 0. 027 ), lymphatic metastasis, degree of invasion ( χ2 =4. 972, P = 0. 026; χ2 = 3.910, P = 0. 034 ), and microvessel density ( MVD) ( P ＜ 0. 05 ＝. However, they were not related to sex ( χ2 = 0. 020, P= 0. 887; χ2 = 0. 001, P = 0. 716 ), tumor size ( χ2 = 0. 003, P = 0. 995; χ2 =0. 108, P = 0. 990) and pathologic types ( χ2 = 1. 960, P = 0. 900; χ2 = 0. 112, P = 0. 994). Conclusion There is a significant positive correlation between high expressions of CXCR4 and VEGF proteins in renal cell carcinoma,the high expressions of CXCR4 and VEGF proteins may be related to the metastasis and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma,thus they could be used as important indicators in judging the metastasis prognosis of renal cell carcinoma,and offer prospects for the treatment of renal cell carcinona.
