Background and purpose: Collecting duct carcinomas of the kidney are a rare malignant tumor accounting for<1%of renal malignancies. It is associated with aggressive nature and more than 50%of patients have metastatic disease at the time of initial diagnosis. The diagnosis of collecting duct carcinoma is often dififcult and to some extent is one of exclusion. This study aimed to study the clinicopathologic features of collecting duct carcinoma of the kidney. Methods:We retrieved the data of ifve cases of collecting duct carcinomas of the kidney from pathology ifles, and determined the expressions of CK19, CAM5.2, CK7, Vimentin, CD10, P63 and PaX-8 by pathohistological observation and immunohistochemical examination. Results: The most common symptoms were blood urine, bellyache and abdomen mass. The tumor originated from the medulla of the kidney central zone. Histologically, the tumors demonstrated irregular tubular or papillary architecture with the stroma of inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue proliferation. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CK19(5/5), CAM5.2(5/5), PaX-8(5/5), Vimentin(2/5), CK7(1/5), and negative for P63, CD10. Conclusion: The correct diagnosis in collecting duct carcinomas of the kidney is based on characteristic morphological features and immunophenotype labeling.

Objective To observe the effect of bisoprulol on malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) in ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring for twenty-four hours in patients with unsta-ble angina pectoris (UAP). Methods 40 UAP patients with premature ventricu]ar beats were observed. All patients were examined with ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring for twenty-four hours before and after bisoprolol (5mg, Qd) was administered for 7 days. The number of patients with MVA、turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS) were analyzed. Results After bisoprolol was administered for 7 days in patients with UAP,the number of pa-tients with MVA decreased by 14.2%. TO decreased and TS increased, and HRT was improved. Conclusions HRT had clinical prognostic value for malignant ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death in patients with UPA. Bisoprolol can improve HRT and reduce the incidence of MVA.

Objective To study the changes in activity of NADPH oxidase, the effects of signal molecules on membrane potential and ROS production of mitochondria in apoptotic murine peritoneal macrophages. Methods Laser scanning confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and fluorescence labeling were used. Results 1 The macrophages treated with dexamethasone developed apoptosis quickly and presented concomitant apoptotic changes. 2 Mitochondria membrane depolarized quickly, the activity of NADPH oxidase declined sharply, and ROS production decreased rapidly. The erasers of ROS promoted macrophage apoptosis. 3 PKC favored, and cAMP inhibited the macrophage apoptosis and the rapid drop in ROS and mitochondrial membrane depolarization. cGMP and TPK which slightly inhibited macrophage apoptosis, had no effects on ROS. Conclusion 1 The activity of NADPH oxidase declined sharply, hence the ROS decreased rapidly, which promoted apoptosis in macrophages treated with dexamethasone. 2 The signal molecules affected apoptosis by modulating ROS decline and mitochondria depolarization. The results suggested that, mitochondria variations, especially the variations of ROS and membrane potential, mainly affected macrophage apoptosis.;
