Porocarcinoma coexisting at a site of Bowen disease in a 63‐year‐old woman

Porocarcinoma is an unusual, locally aggressive and potentially fatal neoplasm. Several cutaneous malignancies have been described in association with porocarcinoma, including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and tricholemmal carcinoma. Previous reports have indicated that the occurrence of malignant tumours in combination with porocarcinoma is extremely rare, in particular with regard to Bowen disease (BD). We report an uncommon case of porocarcinoma occurring synchronously in a single BD lesion in a 63‐year‐old woman with multiple BD lesions. The clinical and histological findings confirmed this diagnosis.     

体外转染Cyclin A2基因对原代大鼠心肌细胞增殖的影响

目的探讨体外转染细胞周期素A2(Cyclin A2)基因对原代大鼠心肌细胞增殖的影响,为心脏再生提供细胞学依据。方法 SD乳鼠12只,分离、培养、鉴定原代乳鼠心肌细胞并分为3组,实验组:转染带有强化绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)和Cyclin A2基因的重组腺病毒(Ad-Cyclin A2-GFP);空病毒组:转染不含目的基因带有GFP的重组腺病毒(Ad-Null-GFP);阴性对照组:未做转染处理,仅加入等量的培养基。利用GFP示踪技术,评估原代心肌细胞转染效率;转染后的细胞继续体外培养3~5d,利用免疫荧光技术分别检测Cyclin A2、磷酸化组蛋白H3(H3P)、心肌肌钙蛋白-T(c Tn T)。结果 1.荧光GFP示踪表明原代心肌细胞的转染效率高达(97±0.74)%;2.免疫荧光标记显示,空病毒组和对照组结果相似;心肌细胞特异性标记蛋白c Tn T分布于细胞质,原代心肌细胞纯度高达(95±0.62)%;心肌细胞Cyclin A2主要在胞核内聚集,少数分布于细胞质。H3P为核蛋白在细胞核内分布。3.转染Cyclin A2后,实验组H3P阳性率明显高于空病毒组和对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05);实验组可见大量多核细胞,以双核为主,伴少量3核细胞。结论腺病毒作为转染载体对原代心肌细胞有很好的侵染效率;Cyclin A2超表达促进原代心肌细胞形成双核。     

Widely Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma Originating from Malignant Transformation of Hypertrophic Lichen Planus in a 24‐Year‐Old Woman: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Hypertrophic lichen planus (HLP) is a T‐cell‐mediated process typically presenting with hypertrophic or verrucous plaques on the lower limbs. We report the case of a 24‐year‐old woman with a history of HLP since age 3 years presenting with rapid malignant transformation of one lesion into a large squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Subsequent examination revealed progressive, widespread metastatic involvement, and the patient ultimately died from her disease. SCC associated with HLP is rare, with a review of the literature revealing fewer than 50 cases. This case highlights the need to be aware of suspicious changes in HLP and to educate patients as to when to be reevaluated.
