Purpose To investigate the clinical pathological features, pathological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the non-Wilms’ renal tumors in children. Methods The clinical pathological data and immunohistochemical findings of 15 cases of non-Wilms’ renal tumors were retrospectively analyzed with review of the relevant literature. Results In 7/15 (46. 67%) cases of cystic nephroma ( CN) , microscopically the variable size of cysts were lined by a single layer flattened, cuboidal epithelia, separated by fi-broblastic stroma;in 4/15 (26. 67%) cases of rhabdoid tumor of kidney (RTK), histological characteristics were rhabdoid cells and cytoplasmic inclusions;in 2/15 (13. 33%) cases of clear cell sarcoma (CCSK), the classical pattern of histology demonstrated nests, cords of ovoid epithelioid or spindled clear cells separated by fibrovascular septa, which had a marked ’ chicken wire’ pattern of small blood vessels;in 1/15 (6. 67%) case of congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN), the tumor was mainly composed of spindle cells arranged in fascicular pattern, in which fetal renal tissue was seen;in 1/15 (6. 67%) case of granularity renal cell carcinoma, micro-scopically, the cancer cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm arranged in nests, cords and tubular pattern. Conclusions Although non-Wilms’ renal tumors is a small part of all kidney tumor, it is difficult to diagnose and distinguish from other tumors before opera-tion. The pathological diagnosis is the most reliable method for differential diagnosis of non-Wilms’ renal tumor.

BACKGROUND: It remains poorly understood whether anterior column quadrilateral wing plate exists to solve intraoperative multiple plastic and quadrilateral in vivo shift for treating acetabular anterior column and acetabular quadrilateral body fractures.OBJECTIVE: To figure out the promising application on measurement of anatomical character parameters when designing acetabular anterior column and acetabular quadrilateral body using Mimics software. METHODS: 60 pelvic CT scan data were collected and three-dimensionally reconstructed by Mimics software. The following anatomical character parameters were measured, including the angle between plane of arcuate line of true pelvis and plane of quadrilateral surface, the four boundary lines of quadrilateral body, and the thickness of substance of bone in quadrilateral region. The projection curve on quadrilateral surface of acetabular margin and dangerous zone for screw placement were both drew. Above all, the study attempted to find out the proper safe entry point of quadrilateral screw and to measure their leaning inside angles.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The angle between plane of arcuate line of true pelvis and plane of quadrilateral surface was not significantly different between males and females. (2) The minimum thickness of quadrilateral body in males was larger than that in females. (3) The maximum leaning angle flapper plate screw P1 and P2 for quadrilateral body was significantly smaller in males than in females, but that of screw P3 was not significantly different between males and females. (4) The application of Mimics software made it easier, more intuitive and more practical for the design or development of new plate for acetabular anterior column and acetabular quadrilateral body. The common points and difference between acetabular anterior column and acetabular quadrilateral body could be specifically described by the new anatomical character parameters, which are defined by bone surface features of pelvis.

Objective To inquire into the molecular epidemiology of enterovirus 71 ( EV71 ) in our region by analyzing the whole genome characteristics and genetic evolution of EV 71 strains isolated from Guizhou area. Methods The throat swabs samples of hospitalized children with hand,foot and mouth disease in Guizhou province from 2013 to 2015 were collected,the virus nucleic acid were extracted,then the whole genome of virus were piecewise amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR) and sequenced. Sequencing results were edited and spliced by DNAMAN8. 0 software,then the viral genome se-quences were compared with genome sequences of other EV71 strains in the genebank by Blastn,the phyloge-netic tree was constructed by the Neighbor-Joining method in MEGA5. 2 software. Results The whole ge-nome sequences of 17 EV71 strains were successfully isolated and amplified,the whole genome length of 17 EV71 isolates was 7405 base pair,encoded about 2193 amino acids. The 17 isolates were divided into ten species of amino acid sequences by 12 differences of amino acid among the strains,different sequences and clinical types had not shown regularity and correlation. The nucleotide homology in VP1 region,5′untranslat-ed region(5′UTR) and 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) were high among 17 EV71 isolates. The results that the whole genome of 17 EV71 isolates was compared with representative strains of EV71 A,B,C genotype and coxsakievirus A 16 ( CA16) showed that 17 EV71 isolates had higher homology with EV71 C4a sub-type,95. 3%-98. 1%,and the lowest homology with CA16. The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on nucleotide sequence of the whole genome,VP1 region and 5′untranslated region of 17 isolates showed that the 17 isolates were clustered into one cluster,and were clustered in the same branch with C4a isoforms,the phy-logenetic relationships among different regions were different. Conclusion The popular genotype of EV71 strains in Guizhou area for 2013-2015 was C4a subtype,consistenting with the genotype of popular EV71 in other regions of China. EV71 strains hasn′t the antigen transformation and input of a new subtype temporari-ly,but exist nucleotide and amino acid changes,so need be chronically and dynamically monitored. There is no correlation between the amino acid sequence difference of 17 EV71 isolates and the state of an illness.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the preventive effect of cucurbitacin B (CB) on sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and its mechanism. METHODS The mice were divided into control group, model group, dexamethasone group (positive control, 2 mg/kg), CB low-dose and high-dose groups (25, 50 mg/kg). Each group was given relevant medicine intraperitoneally, once a day, for 3 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, those groups were given lipopolysaccharide (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to establish sepsis-induced ALI model (finally, 8 mice per group were included in the experiment), except for control group. Twenty-four hours after medication, blood routine indicators (total white blood cell count, neutrophils count, lymphocytes count), lung function indicators (total lung resistance, pulmonary outflow resistance, lung dynamic compliance, peak expiratory flow rate, and maximum ventilation volume), dry wet ratio of lung tissue were measured in each group. The lung tissue level of myeloperoxidase (MPO), and the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were all detected. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression of phosphorylation signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in the lung tissue. Western blot assay was used to detect the expressions of proteins related to IL-6/JAK2/ STAT3 signaling pathway in the lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with control group, total pulmonary resistance, pulmonary flow resistance, dry wet ratio of lung tissue, the total white blood cell count, neutrophils count, lymphocytes count of whole blood, the lung tissue level of MPO and serum levels of MDA, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, the p-STAT3 protein optical density value, the protein expressions of IL-6 and IL-6 receptor, and the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 protein were increased significantly in the model group (P<0.01), while lung dynamic compliance, peak expiratory flow rate, maximum ventilation volume and serum level of SOD were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Pulmonary tissue showed alveolar collapse and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Compared with the model group, the above indexes of mice were reversed significantly in dexamethasone group and CB groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the pathological damage of lung tissue was reduced. CONCLUSIONS CB can prevent sepsis-induced ALI by inhibiting the activity of Δ 基金项目遵义市科技计划项目(No.202252) IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and relieving *第一作者主治医师。研究方向:重症医学。E-mail:fjuanxui@ 163.com inflammatory reactions. # 通信作者 主任医师。研究方向:儿童呼吸系统疾病诊断与治
