Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: comparison of MR imaging with CT and I-131 MIBG scintigraphy

To ascertain the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging characteristics of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas and to compare MR with computed tomography (CT) and iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-131 MIBG), 19 patients (18 with pheochromocytomas, one with a paraganglioma) were studied. The 18 patients with pheochromocytomas had had positive findings with I-131 MIBG scintigraphy. Abdominal pheochromocytomas were generally hypointense compared with normal liver on T1-weighted MR images and extremely hyperintense on T2-weighted MR images. MR imaging was preferable to CT in the evaluation of primary pheochromocytomas due to superior tissue characterization, particularly in the patient with hypertension and borderline catecholamine levels. For patients with recurrent or metastatic disease, the data suggest that I-131 MIBG scintigraphy is the examination of choice.     

Evaluation of a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test for rotavirus antigen in faeces

A new commercial test for the diagnosis of rotavirus gastroenteritis was assessed. With some modifications it compared favourably with electron microscopy and immunofluorescence.

Comparative genomic hybridization in ganglioneuroblastomas.

The ganglioneuroblastoma are rare lesions with widespread neuronal differentiation that have been classified as intermediate stages between neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma. To identify overall chromosome aberrations in ganglioneuroblastoma, we performed comparative genomic hybridization. All of the five tumor samples were found to exhibit multiple gains involving different chromosomal regions. Chromosomal gains displayed by chromosomes and chromosome loci were 2p25 approximately pter (60%), 5p15.1 approximately p15.3 (60%), 7 (60%), 13q22 approximately q31 (60%), and 22 (60%), which were detected as minimal common regions in all five tumor samples. Chromosome 22 gain, which had not been reported in neuronal tumors before, and novel site 13q22 approximately q31 may be considered to play an important role in progression and differentiation of ganglioneuroblastoma.     

肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病临床病理学观察

目的 探讨肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病临床、病理特征。方法 对5例肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病临床资料进行收集分析,HE切片观察,采用免疫组织化学(SP法)检测平滑肌肌动蛋白(SMA)、HMB45、基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)2、孕激素受体(PR)、雌激素受体(ER),并进行文献复习。结果 肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病是原因不明的肺部疾病,只发生在女性,特别是绝经前妇女。临床表现为呼吸困难,咯血,气胸和乳糜胸等。病理学检查显示不同成熟度平滑肌细胞在细支气管壁、肺泡壁、淋巴管壁和血管壁周围增生,肺实质呈囊性变。增生的平滑肌细胞免疫组织化学5例SMA、HMB45、MMP2均阳性;1例的ER和PR均阳性,1例仅ER阳性,1例仅PR阳性,1例的ER和PR均阴性。结论 育龄期妇女如反复出现自发性气胸、咯血、活动后呼吸困难应考虑肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病的可能,病理检查可确定肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病的诊断。     

An effective method for quantitative evaluation of proteins adsorbed on biomaterial surfaces

An effective method for the quantitative evaluation of proteins adsorbed on biomaterial surfaces has been developed. First, the kinetic behavior of a range of human fibrinogen (Fib) adsorbed onto polystyrene (PS) films was investigated by using a reflectometry interference spectroscopy setup. The specific molecular number of adsorbed proteins, N(p,) was then defined. According to the definition, the numbers of Fib molecules adsorbed on PS films were calculated. An atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to scan the lateral distribution of the Fib molecules adsorbed on the PS films. From the AFM images, the practical specific molecular numbers were obtained by direct counting of the molecules. In order that the adsorbed number of Fib molecules on a unit area of the PS films could be counted easily, the solution concentration of proteins was reduced to 5 ag/mL (10(-18)g/mL). There was good consistency between the numbers calculated with the formula defined by us and the numbers counted from AFM images. Therefore, the results of the present study prove the validity of our definition of the specific molecular number of adsorbed proteins and the effectiveness of the reflectometry interference spectroscopy-based method for quantitative evaluation of adsorptive proteins.
