Carcinosarcoma arising from high-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary without estrogen receptor,WT-1, and PAX8 immunoreactivity

ObjectiveWe encountered a case of high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) of the ovary which recurred as carcinosarcoma of the sigmoid colon. Tumor cells of both the primary carcinoma and the secondary carcinosarcoma were negative for estrogen receptor (ER), WT-1, and PAX8. It is well known that most ovarian carcinomas arising from the Müllerian duct are immunoreactive for these biologic parameters. To our knowledge, this is the first case report that provides the results of immunohistochemical analysis of WT-1 and PAX8 for a primary carcinoma and recurrent carcinosarcoma.Case reportA 61-year-old woman had an advanced right ovarian HGSC. After a primary debulking surgery (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and omentectomy) and adjuvant chemotherapy, complete remission was achieved. However, four and a half years later, a tumor arising beside the sigmoid colon was detected. A tumorectomy was performed through combined partial resection of the ileum and sigmoid colon. Microscopically, the tumor was diagnosed as carcinosarcoma of the sigmoid colon, which had originated from HGSC of the ovary. Interestingly, the malignant cells of the primary carcinoma and epithelial components of the recurrent carcinosarcoma were negative for ER, WT-1, and PAX8. These immunohistochemical features were unusual. Three cycles of chemotherapy with the previously used regimen and three additional cycles of doxorubicin and ifosfamide combination chemotherapy were administered. Currently, 3 years after the final chemotherapy was administered, the patient remains healthy.ConclusionHGSC of the ovary can recur as carcinosarcoma. Tumor cells of the primary HGSC without ER, WT-1, and PAX8 expression may have dedifferentiated and recurred as carcinosarcoma.     

The impact of neighborhoods and friendships on interracial anxiety among medical students and residents: A report from the medical student CHANGES study

Objective

To examine the experience of interracial anxiety among health professionals and how it may affect the quality of their interactions with patients from racially marginalized populations. We explored the influence of prior interracial exposure—specifically through childhood neighborhoods, college student bodies, and friend groups—on interracial anxiety among medical students and residents. We also examined whether levels of interracial anxiety change from medical school through residency.

Data Source

Web-based longitudinal survey data from the Medical Student Cognitive Habits and Growth Evaluation Study.

Study Design

We used a retrospective longitudinal design with four observations for each trainee. The study population consisted of non-Black US medical trainees surveyed in their 1st and 4th years of medical school and 2nd and 3rd years of residency. Mixed effects longitudinal models were used to assess predictors of interracial anxiety and assess changes in interracial anxiety scores over time.

Principal Findings

In total, 3155 non-Black medical trainees were followed for 7 years. Seventy-eight percent grew up in predominantly White neighborhoods. Living in predominantly White neighborhoods and having less racially diverse friends were associated with higher levels of interracial anxiety among medical trainees. Trainees' interracial anxiety scores did not substantially change over time; interracial anxiety was highest in the 1st year of medical school, lowest in the 4th year, and increased slightly during residency.

Conclusions

Neighborhood and friend group composition had independent effects on interracial anxiety, indicating that premedical racial socialization may affect medical trainees' preparedness to interact effectively with diverse patient populations. Additionally, the lack of substantial change in interracial anxiety throughout medical training suggests the importance of providing curricular tools and structure (e.g., instituting interracial cooperative learning activities) to foster the development of healthy interracial relationships.     

参黄洗液辅助吻合器痔环切手术治疗混合痔效果及其预后不良早期预警

目的:对参黄洗液辅助吻合器痔环切手术(PPH手术)在混合痔治疗中的效果及其预后不良早期预警的价值进行研究,为临床治疗和不良反应的防治提供数据参考。方法:选取2018年5-12月我院手术治疗的混合痔患者120例为研究对象,采用随机数表法分为观察组和对照组,每组60例。观察组采用参黄洗液辅助PPH手术治疗,对照组PPH术后采用高锰酸钾溶液坐浴治疗。术后辅助治疗20d后就疗效、不良反应及随访3个月的远期疗效进行评价和组间比较,并对观察组预后不良病例的早期反应进行分析。结果:观察组总有效率为96.67%(58/60),高于对照组86.67%(52/60)的总有效率(P<0.05);观察组不良反应发生率为21.67%(13/60),低于对照组31.67%(19/60)的不良反应发生率(P<0.05);观察组病例不良预后发生率为25.00%(15/60),低于对照组33.33%(20/60)的不良预后发生率(P<0.05)。结论:参黄洗液辅助PPH手术在混合痔治疗中具有疗效显著、安全性高、预后良好等优势,临床具有推广价值。     

一起由两种罕见血清型副溶血性弧菌引起食物中毒事件分析

目的 分析一起由两种罕见血清型混合感染引起的副溶血性弧菌食物中毒病原学的检测结果,为食物中毒病原学检查途径提供依据。方法 对一起在龙门县人民医院就诊食物中毒事件的9例患者采集其肛拭子样本,参照《食品微生物学检验副溶血性弧菌检验》( GB 4789.7—2013) 等标准进行病原学分析鉴定。结果 本次事件出现临床症状者9例,其中≤20岁2例,20~<40岁1例,40~<60岁4例,≥60岁2例;9份肛拭子样本检出8株副溶血性弧菌,血清分型O2:K28构成比占25.00%(2/8);O8:K21构成比占75.00%(6/8);经PFGE分子分型,2株O2∶K28血清型(VP18171、VP18175)相似度为66.7%;3株O8∶K21血清型(VP18172、VP18173、VP18176)相似度为100.0%,与另外3株O8∶K21血清型(VP18177、VP18174、VP18170)相似度为88.4%~95.2%;药敏试验结果显示,除有1株菌株对氨苄西林、头孢唑林二重耐药、1株菌株对氨苄西林耐药、3株菌株对头孢唑林耐药外,其它菌株对所有测试药物均敏感,无多重耐药现象。结论 此次食物中毒是由O2:K28和O8:K21这两种罕见血清型的副溶血性弧菌混合感染引起的。     

“混合式教学+医学教育”实现教学评价研究

教学评价是教学过程中不可或缺的,行之有效的教学评价是促进教学方法改革,增强教学效果的指挥棒。与传统的教学方法相比较在混合式医学教学课堂中,教学评价也应进行相应的改革,从教师、自身、同行三个维度研究混合式医学教学中的教学评价方法的改革。同时强调完善教学评价的反馈机制。通过学生反馈、专家反馈、同行反馈、自身反馈,建立完整的混合式教学+医学教育的教学评价体系。
