Purpose　To investigate the pathomorphological and immunohistochemical features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods　Light microscopy was used to study the morphologic characteristics of 77 cases of GIST. The expression of c-kit(CD117), CD34, vimentin, SMA and S-100 protein were detected in all cases with S-P immunohistochemical method. Results　GIST tended to have a higher degree of cellularity and lesser degree of cytoplasmic eosinophilia than observed in classic leiomyomas. The neoplastic cells of GIST were spindle, epithelioid or both in different proportion. Focal to prominent cytoplasmic vacuolization was often seen. The histological spectrum included interlacing fascicles, diffuse sheets, storiform and palisading pattern. The formation of cell clusters was rather special. Stromal and vascular hyalinization was common. GIST primary in the mesentery tended to have a higher potentiality of malignancy. The positivity of CD117 and CD34 were 90%, 92%, respectively. Conclusion　The characteristic histological features exist in GIST. The detection of CD117 and CD34 is helpful to differential diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term anticoagulation therapy with warfarin in elderly patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and the maintenance dosage of warfarin,and provide evidence for anticoagulation therapy. Methods Twenty elderly patients ( ≥65 years old) with PTE whose anticoagulation therapy duration exceeded 12 months were included into this study. The hemorrhage event, recurrence event and the maintenance dosage of warfarin in each patient were determined by the follow-up record. Results Six male patients and 14 female patients [(73.55 ± 5.76) years old] were diagnosed as PTE by CT pulmonary arteriography(CTPA). The average duration of follow-up was (22.60 ± 11.45 ) months. No fatal hemorrhage event such as cerebral hemorrhage was found during the course of long term anticoagulation therapy, and mild hemorrhage was found in 5 patients, including 1 patient with gingiva hemorrhage, 1 patient with epistaxis, 1 patient with hemoptysis, 1 patient with ecchymosis in the left leg and 1 patient with conjunctiva hemorrhage. PTE recurrence emerged in 1 patient and the recurrence rate was 5%.No change was found in the maintenance dosage of warfarin during the course of long-term anticoagulation therapy and the average dosage of warfarin was about 3.5 mg with sufficient anticoagulation therapy.Conclusions Long-term anticoagulation therapy with warfarin in elderly patients with PTE is safe and efficacious. The maintenance dosage of warfarin is about 3.5 mg, and detecting the international normalized ratio regularly is necessary.

Objective To observe the changes in fibrinolytic factors in rats with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) after recombinant prourokinase ( rPro-UK) treatment and its significance .Methods PTE was induced in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by injecting heated 125iodine-labeled fibrinogen(Fib) autologous thromboemboli into external jugular veins.Twenty-eight rats were randomly assigned into following groups (7 rats each):①healthy control group;②PTE 5 d group,the rats in which were sacrificed at 5 d after the PTE model was made; ③ PTE3d receiving rPro-UK thrombolytic treament groups including multibolus treatment sub group ( rPro-UK was given in 1 mg/kg on the post-PTE third day followed by 2 consecutive days of a lower dose 0.25 mg/kg and rats were sacrificed 2 h after the last injection at the same time as PTE5d group) and single bolus treatment sub group ( rPro-UK was given in 1 mg/kg on the post-PTE third day followed by 2 consecutive days of 0.5 ml saline and rats were sacrificad at the same time as the former group ).The rats were quickly sacrificad at the fixed time through carotid bleeding and plasma samples were reserved for analysis of uroki -nase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR), fibrinogen (Fib) andα2-antiplasmin (α2-AP) .Results ①Plasma concentrations of u-PA and u-PAR were increased were significantly in rPro-UK multibolus treatment sub group than in PTE 5 d group(Pu-PA <0.05,Pu-PAR <0.01)and rPro-UK single bolus treatment sub group(Pu-PA <0.01,Pu-PAR <0.05),correlated with the thrombolysis rate in rPro-UK multibolus treatment sub group (ru-PA =0.766,P<0.05;ru-PAR=0.785,P<0.05).② No difference of plasma Fib and α2-AP was seen between Pro-UK treatment groups and PTE 5 d group(P >0.05).Conclusion ① Plasma levels of endogenous u-PA and u-PAR are increased at different time points after PTE and are further enhanced after Pro-UK treatment, which promotes endogenous fibrinolysis and thrombus lysis .This is probably related to increased synthesis and secretion of endothelial cells which may be a key thrombolytic mechanism of Pro-UK.②Absence of systemic activation of the fibrinolytic system in Pro-UK multibo-lus treatment sub group means that the regimen is feasible and Pro-UK is fibrin specific .

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Rho-associated protein kinaseⅡ(Rock Ⅱ)in preeclamptic placenta and umbilical artery.Methods Semiquanfitative RT-PCR and Western blot were used to investigate the expression of RockⅡmRNA and RockⅡprotein in placenta and umbilical artery from 35 women with moderate preeclampsia(MPE group)、38 women with severepreeclampsia(SPE group)and 45 normal third trimester pregnant women(control group),the S/D value of umbilical artery was examined by ultrasound.Results (1)The expression of Rock Ⅱ mRNA of Dlacenta in MPE group(0.82±0.14)and SPE group(0.93±0.13)were signifieantly higher than that in control group (0.70 ±0.12,P＜0.01).The expression of Rock Ⅱ protein of placenta in MPE group(0.79±0.15)and SPE group(0.92±0.12)were significantly higher compared with control group(0.68±0.11,P<0.01).The expression of Rock Ⅱ mRNA and protein of placenta in SPE group were higher compared with MPE group(P＜0.01).(2)The expression of Rock Ⅱ mRNA of umbilical artery in MPE group(0.69±0.13)and SPE group(0.55±0.12)were significantly lower than that in control gmup(0.76±0.10,P＜0.01).The expression of RockⅡ protein of umbilical artery in MPE group(0.68±0.10)and SPE group(0.51±0.12)were lower compared with control group(0.75±0.13,P＜0.01).The expression of RockⅡ mRNA and protein of umbilical artery in SPE group were significantly lower compared with MPE group(P＜0.01).(3)There were no correlations between the expression of RockⅡ mRNA and protein in placenta and umbilical artery and the S/D value and birth weight(P＞0.05).Conclusion The upregulated expression of Hock Ⅱ in placentas and downregulated expression in umbilical artery may be a compensation in preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the differences in clinical symptoms and risk factors between non-elderly and elderly patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE).Methods Totally141 patients with acute PTE and 100 sex and age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study.The final diagnosis was confirmed by CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and/or pulmonary angiography and/or pulmonary perfusion imaging as well as medical history.The patients with acute PTE were divided into two groups according age:elderly group (n=78,age≥60 years),young group (n =63,age ＜ 60 years).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of PTE and to confirm the risk of each factor.Results The morbidity rate of dyspnea,cough,chest distress and chest pain were 88.5％ (69 cases),76.9％ (60 cases),56.4％ (44 cases),15.4％ (12 cases) in elderly group,which was similar to 84.1％ (53 cases),69.8％ (44 cases),63.5％ (40 cases),25.4％ (16 cases) in young group (all P＞0.05)； while the morbidity rate of hemoptysis in elderly group [9.0％ (7 cases)] was lower than in young group [23.8％(15 cases)](P＜0.05).9％ (7 cases) in elderly patients without any symptoms were more than 1.6％ (1 cases) in young patients,but no significant differene (P＞0.05).There were more risk factors in the elderly group accompanying with diabetes (x2 =7.41,P ＜ 0.01),hypertension (x2 =14.51,P＜ 0.01),chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) (x2 =7.42,P＜0.01) and previous stroke (x2 =4.91,P＜0.05)compared with young group.Independent risk factors for elderly acute PTE included COPD (OR:3.29,95％CI:1.04-10.46),previous deep veneus thrombosis(DVT) (OR:4.72,95％CI:1.68-13.27),cancers (OR:4.35,95％CI:1.00-18.13) and previous stroke (OR:5.13,95％CI:1.15-24.52).Independent risk factors for non-elderly PTE included previous DVT (OR:11.94,95％ CI:3.35-42.60)and cancers (OR:11.44,95％CI:1.44-89.92).Conclusions Much attention should be paid to the identification of diagnosis of acute PTE depending on the non-specific clinical features,although dyspnea may be the most frequency symptoms,but unexplained cough and chest distress should be alert for PTE.COPD,cancer,DVT and previous stroke are independent and important risk factors for elderly acute PTE.
