Objective To analyze the clinical and histopathologic characteristics in children with subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma(SPTCL),and explore the pathological diagnosis and differential diagnosis,in order to boost paediatricians to better understanding the disease.Methods One case was diagnosed SPTCL with over 2 years protracted course of fever and multiple skin lesions.The evolvement of clinical presentation,the misdiagnosed experience,the histopathological features,the immunohistochemical results and T cell receptor(TCR)gene cloning rearrangement were observed.The related literatures published were reviewed.Results Skin biopsy showed that the histopathologic findings were limited within subcutaneous fatty tissue,the atypical lymphocytes characteristically rimmed individual fat cells in a lace-like pattern.Immunophenotypic studies showed CD45,CD45RO,CD3,CD5,T cell intracellular antigen-1(TIA-1)and perforin usually expressed possitive,while CD10,CD20,CD56,CD68,epithelial membrane antigen(EMA)and cytokeratin(CK)were negative,implying tumor cells derived from T-cell.The results of TCR gene rearrangement as following:IgH FR2(+),FR3A(-);TCR ? JVI(-),JVII(+);TCR? JD1(-),JD2(-).Although the protocol of children's T-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was administrated,the treatment outcome was poor.Conclusion SPTCL is a special primary cutaneous lymphoma with poor prognosis,skin biopsy of suffered lesion is an important method for the diagnosis of SPTCL children with unclear recurrent fever and multiple skin lesions.

Objective To compare the difference of protein and lipid metabolism between patients with inflammatory bowel disease and healthy controls,and to investigate the association of these changes with disease activity and location of the lessions.Methods The retrospective cohort study was carried out.The data of protein and lipid metabolisms collected from 195 patients with ulcerative colitis,76patients with Crohn's disease and 97 healthy controls during 1995 to 2007 were analyzed.Disease activity were evaluated using simple clinieal colitis activity index and simple index of Crohn's disease activity.The erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were measured.Results Serum levels of ESR in patients with ulcerative colitis were negatively linear correlated with serum levels of albumin/globulin ratio(β=-0.521,P＜0.01)and positively linear correlated with serum levels of α2globulin(β=0.319,P＜0.01).Serum levels of globulin in patients with Crohn's disease were positively linear correlated with serum levels of ESR(β=0.558,P＜0.01)and CRP(β=0.424,P=0.01).In ulcerative colitis,serum levels of albumin/globulin ratio,albumin and total cholesterol were significantly higher in patients with proctosigmoiditis than those in patients with lesions at other locus(P=0.003,0.005,0.038,respectively).In Crohn's disease,serum level of globulin was significantly higher in patients with lesions only at colon than that in patients with lesions only at small bowel(P=0.029).Conclusions Serum levels of albumin/globulin ratio and α2-globulin can be predictors of inflammatory activity in patients with ulcerative colitis.The increasing serum globulin may predict the progression of disease activity in patients with Crohn's disease.The nutritional deficiency is more critical in patiens with small bowel involvement than those with colon involvement.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment of high risk benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound (TR-HIFU) by urodynamic test. Methods One hundred and thirty patients with BPH, most of who suffering with diabetes mellitus,cardio-cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease. All patients were given the operation with Sonablate-500 high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). International prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), post void residual urine volume (PVR), pressure-flow tests (A-G) were employed for the evaluation of curatives effect on preoperation, 30th and 90th day after the treatment. Results The duration of the TR-HIFU prostate ablation treatment was 15-85 rain. One hundred and seven patients after treatment were followed up for 3 months. Compared the effect before treatment with that after treatment, IPSS improved from (27.0 ±11.5) scores to (8.5±1.4) scores, Qmax increased from (5.7±2.3) ml/s to (14.1±4.2) ml/s, PVR decreased from (118.5±78.0) ml to (30.0±15.0) mI,A-G parameters reduced from 62.4±19.3 to 25.6±13.0 and urine volume (VV) increased from (85.8 + 42.0) ml to (194.0±52.0) ml. The parameters all altered obviously (P < 0.05). Conclusions TR-HIFU appears highly attractive as a new optional, safe and efficacious and minimally invasive treatment for the high risk BPH. Main post-operative urodynamie parameters are more obviously improved than those of the preoperation.

Objective To analyze videourodynamic characteristics of female bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Methods Retrospective analysis of videourodynamic characteristics were performed in 42 women with BOO. On the basis of the videourodynamic findings, women with BOO were categorized into five groups: bladder neck obstruction, middle urethra (urethral sphincter) obstruction, distal urethra obstruction, external orifice of urethra obstruction, high-grade pelvic organ prolapse. Data of five groups were compared in Qmax, maximum cystometric capacity, Pdet at Qmax, residual urine, detrusor instability and hydronephrosis. Data of all patients were analyzed by SPSS13 statistical software, measurement data by t-test and enumeration data by x2-test. Results Five groups had not significant deviation in the maximum cystometric capacity. however patients with bladder neck obstruction had significant deviation with others in Pdet at Qmax (78. 0 ± 23. 6)cm H2O, residual urine (120. 6±115.2)ml, Qmax (7.0±2.3)ml/s (P<0.05). There was significant deviation between middle urethra (urethral sphincter) obstruction(76.9%)and others in detrusor instability(P<0. 05). In all patients with hydronephrosis, bladder neck obstruction(57. 1 %) had significant deviation with others (P<0. 05). Conclusions Videourodynamic tests could assess lower urinary tract function, and may guide clinic management. The bladder neck obstruction was most serious and harmful to upper urinary tract.

Objective To study the SRSF2 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients by using high-resolution melting analysis (HRMA). Methods PCR-HRMA analysis was performed to screen SRSF2 mutations in 140 cases with AML, and the direct DNA sequencing was used to confirm the HRMA results. Results Five percent (7/140) of AML patients were found with heterozygous SRSF2 mutations, including one case of P95R mutation, two case of P95L mutation, and four cases of P95H mutation, the above mutations were confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. The maximal sensitivity of HRMA in detecting SRSF2 mutation was close to 10%. There were no difference in gender, age and blood parameters among cases with or without SRSF2 mutations (P > 0.05). The overall survival (OS) of patients with SRSF2 mutations was inferior to those without SRSF2 mutations in AML patients (P=0.016). Conclusions HRMA analysis was a convenient, rapid, specific, high-throughput technique for scanning of SRSF2 gene mutations in AML patients. SRSF2 mutation may predict the adverse prognosis in AML patients.

The present study aims to predict the action targets of antidepressant active ingredients of Xiaoyaosan to understand the "multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways" mechanism. Using network pharmacology, the reported antidepressant active ingredients in Xiaoyaosan (saikosaponin A, saikosaponin C, saikosaponin D, ferulic acid, Z-ligustilide, atractylenolide I, atractylenolide II, atractylenolide III, paeoniflorin, albiflorin, liquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid and pachymic acid), were used to predict the targets of main active ingredients of Xiaoyaosan according to reversed pharmacophore matching method. The prediction was made via screening of the antidepressive drug targets approved by FDA in the DrugBank database and annotating the information of targets with the aid of MAS 3.0 biological molecular function software. The Cytoscape software was used to construct the Xiaoyaosan ingredients-targets-pathways network. The network analysis indicates that the active ingredients in Xiaoyaosan involve 25 targets in the energy metabolism-immune-signal transmutation relevant biological processes. The antidepressant effect of Xiaoyaosan reflects the features of traditional Chinese medicine in multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways. This research provides a scientific basis for elucidation of the antidepressant pharmacological mechanism of Xiaoyaosan.
