Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of aggressive angiomyxoma of the genitourinary system. Methods Two cases of aggressive angiomyxoma of the genitourinary system were reviewed. One case was a 55 year old man.He presented with a painless inguinal mass which was indicated in low echo by ultrasound;and he underwent surgical complete excision.The other case was a 14 year old female presenting with frequent urination,hematuria,dysuria and urethral mass.After the IVU,CT and 3 dimensional CT examination revealed the extent and blood supply,partial cystectomy and ureteroneocystostomy were performed on her. Results The 2 patients were followed up for 2 to 6 months after surgery,with no recurrence and metastasis.Case 1 was diagnosed with aggressive angiomyxoma involving the spermatic cord and the immunohistochemical testing was positive for Vimentin and SMA,negative for Desmin and S 100.Case 2 was diagnosed with aggressive angiomyxoma of the urinary bladder and the immunohistochemical testing showed that the cancer cell was positive for CD 34 ,SMA,Vimentin,and negative for Desmin,Caldesmon,ER,PR and S 100. Conclusions Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare,benign and locally aggressive neoplasm.The histopathologic and immunohistochemical studies reveal the definite diagnosis.The therapy is surgical excision as complete as possible.Radiotherapy combined with endocrinotherapy may be used for recurrence and difficult excision of the tumor.Long term follow up and close monitoring with imaging techniques are essential for timely identification of recurrence and for prompt resection.

0. 05). In glioma, the expression level was higher in glioblastornathan in oligodendroglial tumors (P = 0. 011). While the frequency of promoter methylation of RASSFof RASSF1A gene was 39. 3% . It was not found the promoter methylation in normal brain tissues and U251 cell line. In 11 patients with the aberrant promoter methylation, five showed the gene inactivation (P = 0. 022). Conclusion Aberrant promoter methylation was found in glioma. Although the gene inactivation of RASSF1 A was not so common in glioma, its expression was lower in glioma than in normal brain tissues. Promoter methylation may contribute to the low level or loss of RASSFT A mRNA expression.

An immunopotentiating compound has been isolated from the metabolites of Bacillus mycoides under the bioassay-guided isolation and identification for its immunopotentiating effect and chemical structure. The isolation and purification of the compound were consisted of macroporous adsorptive resins, silicagel chromatographic column and Sephadex G-200 chromatographic column. The immunopotentiating effect was assayed in every step isolation. At last, the only substance having the strongest immunopotentiating effect had been isolated and purified. Through the procedure consisiting of Ultra-Violet spectroscopy (UV), IR (Infrared Radiation), Time of Flight Mass Spectrum (TOF-MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Element analysis, the possible structure of compound M had been identified as cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide (C7H10O2N2) (Diketopiperazine). To be determined the immunopotentiating effect, the mice were treated by intraperitoneal injection of cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide in the treatment group and physiologic saline in the control group. At the 14th day after the injection, the SOD activity and the phagocytosis activities reached the peak value and were significantly higher than those in control group. At the 21st day, the bactericidal activity reached peak value and was significantly higher than that in the control group. From the above results, we concluded that the main active component enhancing the immunity of mice was cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide in the metabolism of Bacillus mycoides.

Objective:To study the functional connectivity (FC) and metabolic effective connectivity (MEC) patterns of the default mode network (DMN) in healthy male adults based on a novel hybrid PET/MR system.Methods:Fifteen healthy male adults with median age of 29 years were recruited locally in Xi′an from January to May 2019. All subjects went through PET/MR scan to get the whole brain 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET, resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) and magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) T 1 weighted imaging data. CONN18b and statistical parametric mapping (SPM) 12 softwares were used to analyze data. The voxel-wise FC and FDG metabolic data were extracted within 4 sub-networks of DMN, which included medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and bilateral lateral parietal (LP). The FC and MEC between 4 sub-networks were calculated based on merged resting-state fMRI and metabolic data, and analyzed by one-sample t test separately, with Bonferroni correction. Results:FC pathways were all significant within 4 sub-networks of DMN ( t values: 6.00-7.71, all P<0.008, Bonferroni corrected). Meanwhile, there were significant bi-directional MEC between MPFC and PCC(MPFC to PCC: t=10.03; PCC to MPFC: t=3.73, both P<0.004, Bonferroni corrected), as well as between bilateral LP (LP_L to LP_R: t=5.28; LP_R to LP_L: t=4.76, both P<0.004, Bonferroni corrected). There were significant uni-directional MEC from both MPFC and PCC to bilateral LP ( t values: 3.44-6.93, all P<0.004, Bonferroni corrected). Conclusions:Special FC and MEC patterns exist within DMN. The closely interrelated MPFC and PCC play more important roles in DMN, and they may mediate LP jointly. The novel integrated PET/MR system will bring new perspective on the organization of brain networks, which may deepen the comprehensive understanding of DMN.
