The grade of histological severity is a determining factor to evaluate the prognosis and survival rate in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). However, liver biopsy is limited by sampling error, invasiveness, high cost, and poor compliance. Therefore, in order to overcome the limitations of liver biopsy, some non-invasive evaluation methods have been studied and applied to evaluate the progression of liver fibrosis in PBC. The prognostic score can be calculated using routine laboratory test results obtained at the time of diagnosis, which are characterized by their simplicity, affordability, ease of acquisition, and superior reproducibility. Recent studies have reported that the prognostic score can be employed as a non-invasive liver fibrosis model to diagnose the liver fibrosis stage in PBC and predict the transplant-free survival rate, in addition to being used to evaluate the patient prognosis and transplant-free survival (TFS). This paper reviews, summarizes, and explores the research progress of different prognostic scores as non-invasive liver fibrosis models via their diagnostic performance and predictive accuracy for PBC.

ObjectiveTo perform a genome-wide association study of rubella virus vaccine strain BRD-Ⅱ, so as to fully grasp the sequence characteristics of this genome. MethodsSecond-generation sequencing method was used to conduct the whole-genome sequencing on the vaccine strain BRD-Ⅱ, and the affinity tree of this genome with some vaccine strains and wild-type rubella virus strains was analyzed using the maximum likelihood method. The average genetic distance of nucleic acid sequence of each vaccine strain protein was determined. And homology comparison of structural proteins of each rubella vaccine strain, plus the comparison between this genome with the AY258323.1 genome sequence, were conducted to analyze the homology of E1 protein between the wild-type rubella virus reference strain and vaccine strain BRD-Ⅱ. ResultsThe sequencing results showed that the BRD-Ⅱ strain was a single-molecule single-stranded positive-strand ribonucleic acid (RNA), composed of 9 778 nucleotides, with a GC content of 69.35 %. The C protein was composed of 300 amino acids, the E2 glycoprotein was composed of 282 amino acids, and the E1 glycoprotein was composed of 481 amino acids. The results of preliminary analysis showed that the average genetic distances of nucleic acid sequences were 0.066 700 for the P150 protein, 0.061 933 for the P90 protein, 0.057 850 for the C protein, 0.068 167 for the E2 protein, and 0.068 833 for the E1 protein, respectively. The amino acid sequences in the E2 protein and E1 protein regions of the two BRD-Ⅱ strains did not change, confirming the conserved regions of the E1 protein by comparison. ConclusionThe sequence characteristics of the genome are clarified, which have laid a broad foundation for the subsequent detection of the genetic stability of the main antigen genes.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,diagnostic approaches,and differential diag-nosis of chordoid glioma(CG)and chordoid meningioma(CM)of the central nervous system(CNS).Methods Clinical data from 4 cases of CG and 10 cases of CM were collected.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the ex-pression of GFAP,EMA,TTF-1,and other markers.Molecular genetic alerations were identified using sequencing techniques and relevant literature was reviewed.Results CG predominantly occurred in the third ventricle but could also arise outside of it.Tumors showed well-defined borders with surrounding tissues.Microscopically,tumor cells were arranged in cords or clusters within a myxoid stroma and expressed GFAP,TTF-1,and other markers.No PRKCA(D463H)mutations were detected in 3 CG cases,however,one case harbored an FLCN ∷ PRKD2 fusion.CM predom-inantly occurred in the supratentorial region but also appeared in the subtentorial area.Histologically,chordoid compo-nents were mixed with classic meningioma features.Chronic inflammatory cell infiltration was noted in the stroma.Tumor cells expressed EMA,PR and SSTR2.One case harbored NF2 mutation and homozygous CDKN2A deletion.Conclusion CG and CM of the CNS shared overlapping morphological characteristics,making histological distinction difficult.Accurate diagnosis required integration of clinical,imaging,immunohistochemical,and molecular pathologi-cal findings.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,diagnosis,and molecular genetic characteris-tics of central nervous system(CNS)high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with BCOR alterations.Methods Five cases of CNS high-grade neuroepithelial tumors harboring BCOR alterations were collected.Using immunohistochemistry and molecular detection to analyze its clinical and histological characteristics,and review relevant literatures.Results A-mong the 5 patients,3 cases with EP300 ∷ BCOR tumor(male-to-female ratio 2∶1).These tumors were located in supratentorial regions(right temporal lobe,right frontotemporal lobe,and right frontal lobe).The 2 patients with BCOR-ITD tumors were younger,both with tumors located in the left cerebellum.Imaging studies revealed well-defined large mass lesions in all cases.Histologically,all 5 cases tumor exhibited ependymoma-like or oligodendroglioma-like morphology,featuring uniformly oval or round cells.Focal areas showed increased cellular density,nuclear enlarge-ment,and readily identifiable mitotic figures indicative of anaplastic features.A rich capillary network was frequently observed in the stroma.Palisading necrosis,microcystic changes,and microcalcifications were present in 3 cases.Im-munohistochemically,all 5 cases consistently expressed vimentin and CD56,focal Olig-2 positivity,variable S-100 ex-pression,and were uniformly negative for GFAP.BCOR immunostaining was weakly positive in 1 case with an EP300∷ BCOR fusion and strongly positive in 2 cases with BCOR-ITD.NGS identified an EP300 ∷ BCOR fusion in 3 cases,and Sanger sequencing confirmed the ITD in exon 15 of BCOR gene in 2 cases.During a follow-up period of 8 to 77 months,one pediatric patient with a BCOR-ITD tumor died,while the remaining four patients were alive with no evi-dence of recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion BCOR-ITD and EP300 ∷ BCOR fusion tumors are similar in morphology and immunophenotype,and the incidence rate of BCOR fusion tumors may be underestimated.NGS sequencing based on DNA and RNA and DNA methylation spectrum analysis are helpful for accurate diagnosis of this type of tumor.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics,immunophenotype,high-risk human papillomavirus(hrHPV)infection status,treatment,and prognosis of cervical carcinoma exhibiting adenoid cystic car-cinoma(ACC)features.Methods Clinical data from 10 cases of cervical cancer with ACC features were collected.A retrospective analysis was proformed on the patients'clinicopathological data,histological features,and immunopheno-type(EnVision method),along with in situ hybridization detection of hrHPV E6/E7 mRNA covering 18 hrHPV types.Results The median age of the patients was 67.5 years,comprising 4 biopsy specimens and 6 surgical specimens.Except for 2 cases detected incidentally during physical examination,the remaining 8 cases presented with unexplained vaginal bleeding or contact bleeding.The mean tumor diameter was 4.5 cm(range:2.5 to 9.0 cm),and tumor stages were available for 8 patients(5 cases in stage Ⅰ and 1 case each in stages Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ).The follow-up period was 8 to 42 months,excluding 1 case lost to follow-up,2 cases(Ⅲ C1 and ⅣB)died within 1 year after surgery.Histologi-cally,4 cases exhibited pure ACC morphology,while 5 cases were mixed carcinomas(combined with squamous cell carcinoma,adenoid basal cell carcinoma,high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma,or carcinosarcoma,respectively).The characteristic ACC morphology manifested as cribriform,pseudo-glandular,tubular,trabecular,and/or solid pat-terns with one case mixed carcinoma's lymph node metastasis showing only ACC morphology.Immunohistochemically,all 10 tumors exhibited diffuse strong positivity for p16 and p63,a high Ki67 proliferation index(40％to 90％),and wild-type p53 expression,and in 50％of cases,only a minority of cells were positive for c-MYB.Additionally,SOX10 was positive in 8 of 9 cases and CD117 was positive in 7 of 10 cases,respectively.In situ hybridization for hrHPV E6/E7 mRNA confirmed the presence of transcriptionally active HPV infection in all cases.Conclusion Cervical cancer with ACC features is rare,and predominantly occurs in postmenopausal elderly women.It represents an HPV-associat-ed high-grade carcinoma in which clinical stage is a critical prognostic factor.Immunohistochemical staining for CD117 and SOX10 aids in the pathological diagnosis of this tumor type.
