子宫及卵巢肿瘤病理基础研究中的几个问题

目前,妇科肿瘤病理学无论在诊断病理还是在基础研究方面,均取得了许多令人瞩目的成就,国内的研究也紧跟国际步伐,在推广WHO女性生殖系统肿瘤分类及诊断标准、分子生物学研究进展和各种治疗手段研究等方面都做出了努力,国内学者并发表了诸多高质量的研究论文。本人主要根据2006年美国妇产科病理学术会议和在美国约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院（Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions）的研究经历,对美国妇科肿瘤病理学（主要是子宫颈部和卵巢肿瘤）的基础研究运行体系和分子生物学及治疗研究现状进行简单介绍。[第一段]

分久必合--关于基础医学与临床医学相结合的讨论

基础与临床相结合是医学发展的必然趋势，是攻克医学科学难关的唯一途径，也是我刊长期以来的办刊宗旨。随着医学科学的发展，不管是临床还是基础研究人员都认识到加强临床与基础结合的重要性，但对这种结合的实质意义，采用什么样的结合模式，在结合中应该注意些什么等一系列问题尚缺乏明确的认识。为此，我们特邀请了有关专家来我刊座谈，他们分别来自临床及基础研究领域，在长期的临床实践和科研实践中对这个问题有着深刻的认识和亲身体会。现将座谈记录整理如下。如果读者通过聆听他们的对话，能够从中得到新的领悟，并对您今后的合作研究有所帮助，那便是我们的最大愿望。     

Oncogenes and surgical pathology

The discovery of oncogenes began with identification of genetic material in viruses capable of causing neoplasia in animals. Through processes of "transduction" and "insertional mutagenesis," RNA/retroviruses may (1) alter directly, (2) alter expression of, or (3) move pieces of host cellular genome in ways that they become potential agents of neoplastic transformation. The pieces of host cellular genome, either affected in situ by viral gene insertion or transduced by the virus, are known as oncogenes. Approximately 20 oncogenes have been identified. Although they have yet to be proven to be sufficient or necessary for neoplastic transformation, the evidence for their playing a part in the transformation process is mounting. The functions of the protein products of the various oncogenes are closely related to those of proteins involved in normal cell regulatory and cycle activities. Study of the oncogene products and their functions serves to elucidate the basic character of neoplasia. The functional classes of oncogenes with specific examples of genomic amplification, altered mRNA or protein product expression, or mutational deletion associated with human neoplasia are reviewed herein. Since the techniques for detecting oncogene DNA and mRNA alterations are rapidly becoming a part of our diagnostic armamentarium, surgical pathologists should be prepared for the imminent use of such molecular techniques and information in diagnosis and prognosis of human neoplasia.     

Placental pathology for the surgical pathologist

Pathologic examination of the placenta is of clinical importance in the evaluation of pregnancies with a less than perfect outcome. Morphologic alterations of the placenta can mirror disorders of the fetus and the mother and evaluation of the placenta can identify clinically significant lesions, allow understanding of a child's disability and may have a role in resolving medical-legal disputes. Pathologic findings in the placenta can provide information on the pathogenesis of cerebral palsy, mental retardation, or neurodevelopmental disorders. This review will cover a variety of frequently encountered, clinically important, and morphologically distinct disorders of the placenta. The current understanding of the clinical implications of lesions for the mother, infant, and for future pregnancies will also be considered.     

The end of surgical pathology

The probable future of the specialty of surgical pathology is something that all pathologists would have some interest in. It would be of special interest to educators and young physicians considering entering the specialty. For the purpose of stimulating thought and discussion about this subject, this article proffers opinions about some pertinent factors relevant to the current state-of-the-art and the short- and intermediate-term future.     

Bridging the gap between cytopathology and surgical pathology

“The laboratory … must compare all pre-malignant and malignant gynecological (cytology) reports with the histopathology report, if available, in the laboratory (either on site or in storage) and determine the causes of any discrepancies.” [CLIA '88 493.1257(d)(2)]¹.
