Hypothalamic hamartoma with bilateral anophthalmia

Introduction Hypothalamic hamartomas are congenital malformations. Clinically, they can be asymptomatic, but they cause seizures, mental retardation and precocious puberty in many cases. Case report A 20-day-old boy with hypothalamic hamartoma and bilateral anophthalmia was presented. Except those, no other congenital anomaly was detected. Conclusion This is a rare case of hypothalamic hamartoma with bilateral anophthalmia. The mutations at SOX2 has an important role in the developing brain and eyes.     

MicroRNAs及其在泌尿系肿瘤的研究进展

microRNAs（miRNAs）是一类分布十分广泛的内源性非编码RNA,在动物、植物、病毒中广泛存在。miRNAs与肿瘤的发生发展预后有关,并在肿瘤的增殖、分化及调亡等方面有重要的作用。结合最近相关文献,本文就miRNAs与泌尿系肿瘤方面的进展作简要概述。     

TECHNIQUES AND PITFALLS OF ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION FOR COLORECTAL TUMORS

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal tumors is steadily being developed. Safety and standardization of ESD for colorectal tumors have not been yet established because of the technical difficulties and the unsuitable anatomical characteristics of the colon and rectum. The authors mainly use a Flex knife for mucosal incision and a Hook knife for submucosal dissection to perform ESD safely. Skillful colonoscopic control, selection of scope, distal attachment tip hood, adequate high‐frequency generator and correct approach strategy should all be considered for safe performance of ESD. However, the incidence of indicative lesions is rare because the majority of colorectal tumors are adenomatous large laterally spreading tumors, which can be cured by intentional endoscopic piecemeal resection. At present, ESD for colorectal tumors should be performed only at central facilities that have expert colonoscopists. With the development of new devices and associated techniques, technical standardization of ESD for colorectal tumors is expected in the near future.     

肿瘤干细胞与肝癌干细胞

肿瘤起源于干细胞的假说正在各种人类肿瘤中得到证实,肿瘤不单是一种基因病,而且是一种干细胞病,基因突变作用于干细胞,干细胞突变成为肿瘤干细胞,这是肿瘤发生、再生、转移和复发的关键。肝细胞癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,其中是否存在“肝癌干细胞”的问题一直倍受人们关注。该文介绍肿瘤干细胞与肝癌干细胞的研究情况。     

肿瘤转移抑制基因KAI1在喉鳞状细胞癌中表达的研究

目的　探讨肿瘤转移抑制基因KAI1在喉鳞状细胞癌 (简称鳞癌 )中的表达及其与之发生、发展的关系。方法　采用原位杂交方法检测 84例原发性喉鳞癌 (primarylaryngealsquamouscellcarcinoma ,PLSCC)、2 7例喉癌前病变不典型增生 (laryngealprecancerouslesion ,LPL)、10例声带息肉(vocalcordpolyp ,VCP)和 10例正常喉黏膜 (normallaryngealtissues ,NLT)石蜡标本组织细胞中KAI1mRNA的表达。结果　NLT、VCP、LPL和PLSCC 4种组织中KAI1阳性表达的积分吸光度值 ( x±s)分别为 (136 2 0 6 8± 36 6 75 5 )、(1336 74 5± 4 2 85 8 5 )、(90 36 8 8± 2 5 70 1 9)和 (6 7880 6± 2 8189 5 ) ,其中NLT组和VCP组之间差异无显著性 (t=0 14 2 ,P >0 0 5 ) ,NLT组和LPL组之间差异有显著性 (t =4 2 81,P <0 0 1) ;PLSCC组中KAI1表达普遍下调 ,且病理分化G1 2组阳性表达水平高于G3组 ;T1 2病变组高于T3 4组 ;颈淋巴结NO组高于N1及N1以上组 ;临床Ⅰ Ⅱ期组高于临床Ⅲ Ⅳ期组 (P值均 <0 0 1)。KAI1表达与患者性别无关 (P >0 0 5 )。结论　KAI1低表达在喉鳞癌的发生、发展中可能起着重要作用 ,可望作为喉鳞癌早期诊断、评估肿瘤细胞侵袭转移潜能及患者病程发展阶段的指标之一。     

Ameloblastoma ex calcifying odontogenic cyst (dentinogenic ghost cell tumor)

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) has shown to be of extensive diversity in its clinical and histopathological features, as well as in its biological behavior. In this report, a rare case is described of ameloblastoma ex COC (dentinogenic ghost cell tumor) and the relevant literature is briefly reviewed.     

趋化因子及其受体在肿瘤侵袭转移中的作用

近年来陆续发现了许多新的趋化因子和受体，研究发现趋化因子及其受体参与机体的多种生理和病理过程，并在肿瘤的侵袭转移中通过不同机制发挥着重要作用。本文对其进行简要综述。     

416例甲状腺肿瘤临床病理分析

目的了解本地区甲状腺肿瘤的发病情况，探讨甲状腺肿瘤的诊断与鉴别诊断6方法对416例甲状腺肿瘤病理资料进行回顾性分析。结果甲状腺肿瘤以良性多见，良恶性之比为8．2：1。各类型肿瘤均以女性明显多于男性，男女之比为1：5．4，好发年龄为21～50岁，肿瘤发生于甲状腺右侧多见。结论本组甲状腺肿瘤的发生率、好发年龄、性别差异、良恶之比与文献报道基本一致。乳头状腺瘤与乳头状癌的鉴别有一定难度，对可疑标本要多处取材，连续切片，仔细观察，找出其特征，提高诊断的准确性。     

膀胱癌组织Ⅳ型胶原的表达意义

目的 研究Ⅳ型胶原在膀胱癌中的表达及其临床意义。方法 应用免疫组化方法检测Ⅳ型胶原在65例膀胱癌及19例非肿瘤性膀胱组织中的表达,分析其与膀胱癌的病理分级、分期、复发、多发的关系。结果 Ⅳ型胶原表达与膀胱癌的病理分级、分期相关(P<0.01),而与肿瘤的复发、多发无明显相关(P>0.05),非肿瘤性膀胱组织未见Ⅳ型胶原染色。结论 Ⅳ型胶原的表达与膀胱癌浸润和转移相关,对膀胱癌的预后判断及治疗具有一定的意义。
