Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the head and neck, this article reports a case of a large adenoid cystic carcinoma of the skull base, with the lesion involving the sphenoid sinus, sphenoid bone wings, pterygopalatine fossa, nfratemporal fossa, hard palate, and other structures. The treatment plan consisted of surgical excision, primary reconstrction of the surgical defect,and postoperative radiotherapy, resulting in a favorable prognosis for the patient.

Objective:To explore the differences in clinical phenotype characteristics and auxiliary test results of Gerstmann-Str?ussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS) patients in the same family with GSS carrying a P102L mutation in the PRNP gene. Methods:A family with GSS carrying a P102L mutation in the PRNP gene, which was identified and treated at the Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in January 2024 was collected. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on the proband, including neuropsychological examination, imaging studies, electroencephalogram, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assay of skin biopsy samples, and genetic testing. At the same time, a survey and analysis were conducted on the family members. Skin RT-QuIC, genetic testing and neuropsychological evaluation were performed on some of the family members. Results:Among the 4-generation members of the GSS family, there were 5 GSS patients, including the proband′s father, younger brother, uncle and cousin. The proband, her younger brother and cousin all carried the P102L mutation in the PRNP gene, and her son was a carrier of the P102L mutation in the PRNP gene. The proband was a 53 years old female, and had a typical GSS phenotype, with the initial symptom of ataxia. The CSF 14-3-3 protein was negative and there were no abnormalities observed on her brain magnetic resonance imaging. The skin and CSF RT-QuIC test results of the proband were both negative. The cousin of the proband had a typical GSS phenotype, and his skin RT-QuIC test result was negative. The younger brother of the proband had a GSS phenotype of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease type, with the initial symptom of rapidly progressing dementia and a positive skin RT-QuIC test result. The first symptoms of the proband′s father and uncle were both ataxia, and they had passed away without undergoing genetic testing. The son of the proband was a carrier of the P102L mutation in the PRNP gene and had no clinical symptoms. Conclusion:Different family members in the same GSS family may exhibit different clinical phenotypes, and GSS with different phenotypes have differences in RT-QuIC results.

Objective:To prepare and identify the mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies ( mAbs) using leukocytes as im-munogens. Methods: The mice were immunized using human peripheral blood leukocytes. Then, use of B lymphocyte hybridoma technology preparation of mAbs,followed screening by immunocytochemistry and limited dilution. The secreted mAbs were identified by immunoprecipitation,mass spectrometry,Western blot,ELISA and immunohistochemistry. Results:The 35 positive polyclonal cells were obtained,of which 11 strains secreted mAbs against S100A9. And one strain was used to prepare monoclonal antibody. The purified mAb against S100A9 were purified and identified as IgG1 subtype,with the titer,purity and affinity constant was 1∶3. 18×105,95% and 3. 54×108 L/mol,respectively. This mAb generally had 0. 12% crossed reactivity to S100A8 ,and showed little or no cross reactivity to S100A12 and S100A13. The prepared monoclonal antibodies can specifically recognizes the S100A9 antigen in human breast cancer tissues. Conclusion:Successful preparation of mAb against S100A9,which can secrete specific mAb against S100A9 protein with high titers and specificity have been established successfully,which laid the foundation for the immunology application.
