Ag—NOR计数在区分良恶性甲状腺病变中的意义

随机选择经长期随访证实的滤泡性甲状腺癌和腺瘤各10例,正常甲状腺组织5例作为对照。按Ploton的染色方法和Crocker推荐的计数方法分别计算三组每例各50个细胞的Ag-NOR嗜银颗粒平均数,再算出三组各自的AgNOR均数,经统计学检验三者有极显著性差异。可望成为甲状腺滤泡性肿瘤良恶鉴别的一项辅助指标。     

Laparoscopic cryosurgery for hepatic tumors

Background: Hepatic cryosurgery has been shown to be a safe technique that may be well suited to a laparoscopic approach. Methods: The technical feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cryosurgery was explored first in a pig model. Thereafter we performed the first successful case of laparoscopic hepatic cryosurgery at our institution. Results: In the animal model, we found that it is possible to safely identify, target, and cryoablate specific lesions in the liver. Temperature in the peritoneal cavity remained above 35°C, and pathologic examination of the abdominal wall around the cryoprobe site revealed no damage. We also successfully treated a 62-year-old man with a metastatic colorectal carcinoma deep in the right lobe of the liver with laparoscopic cryosurgery using a transpleural approach. Conclusion: We conclude that laparoscopic cryosurgery is feasible for lesions anywhere in the liver. For lesions high on the dome of the liver, a transpleural approach may provide better access.

Intramedullary pilocytic astrocytomas — a clinical and morphological study after combined surgical and photon or neutron therapy

Ten patients suffering from intramedullary pilocytic astrocytomas (WHO-classification: astrocytoma grade I) were investigated catamnesticly. Combined surgery and radiotherapy was performed. Seven patients received neutron irradiation postoperatively. In four cases the neurological symptoms were improved after follow-up periods ranging from 33 to 89 months. The three other patients died after 6 to 21 months. The autopsy findings of a 14 year old child are presented. Our results are compared with reports in the literature. In addition, long-term problems of the spinal column are discussed. It seems that the combined surgical and neutron therapy improves the prognosis of pencil gliomas.

Infantile myofibromatosis

 Infantile myofibromatosis is a mesenchymal tumor most commonly seen in infancy. The tumors have a variable appearance on CT/MR and often simulate a more aggressive neoplasm. This report describes CT/MR findings in cases of infantile myofibromatosis with pathologic correlation. Discussion into the success of imaging in suggesting the correct diagnosis is also addressed. Infantile myofibromatosis is a mesenchymal disorder of infancy characterized by the presence of tumorous nodules in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, viscera, and bone. Cases of solitary and multiple lesions have been described. We present the clinical, histologic, and radiographic findings of one case of the solitary form of infantile myofibromatosis that was recently diagnosed at our hospital.     

Cytology of transitional-cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder: diagnostic yield and histologic basis.

The diagnostic yield of cytology in histologically proven transitional-cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder has been studied in 100 cases. Cytohistologic correlation rates were 20 percent, 61.7 percent, and 92.8 percent, respectively, for grade 1, 2, and 3 tumors. When further evaluated, G2 cases were segregated into 2 subcategories, G2a and G2b, based on histologic preservation of nuclear polarity, pleomorphism, and other cellular irregularities. Correlation rates were rather low for G2a cases (6/18, 33%) and high for G2b cases, (23/29; 79%). The prevalence of atypical cells was 2 (11.1%) cases in G2a and 16 (55.2%) cases in G2b. The results of this study confirm that cytology has an extremely varying diagnostic yield in urinary bladder TCC. Greater cell exfoliation, increased atypia, and a tendency to infiltration of G2b and G3 cases probably account for the higher diagnostic yield detected in these groups.     

Inhibition by indomethacin of spontaneous mammary tumorigenesis in SHN mice

This experiment was designed to examine the effects of indomethacin, a potent prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, on spontaneous mammary tumors in mice. The growth of established mammary tumors and the appearance of new tumors in multiparous SHN mice were significantly suppressed by the subcutaneous implantation of pellets of indomethacin diluted to 1/12 with cholesterol. Furthermore, the same treatment inhibited normal and preneoplastic mammary gland growth in virgin SHN mice. The pattern of estrous cycles, ovarian structure, and plasma prolactin levels were not affected significantly by the treatment. All results have demonstrated that indomethacin inhibits mammary tumorigenesis of mice primarily by route(s) other than the endocrine system under the present experimental conditions. Indomethacin would be the first agent that appears to inhibit the growth of spontaneous mammary tumors of palpable size in mice.     

Presence of ghost cells and the Wnt signaling pathway in odontomas

BACKGROUND: Although it has been reported that ghost cells are present in odontomas, the generation mechanism of these cells is unclear. To evaluate the presence of ghost cells and involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway, we examined the expression of hard keratins, beta-catenin and Lef-1 in odontomas. METHODS: Sixty-nine cases of odontoma were examined immunohistochemically with the use of antibodies against human hair proteins, beta-catenin and Lef-1. RESULTS: Expression of hard keratins was found only in the cytoplasm of ghost cells in 46 (66.7%) of the 69 odontomas. Compound odontomas (78.8%) showed a higher incidence of ghost cells than complex odontomas (29.4%). Histopathologically, ghost cells were found within odontogenic epithelium adjacent to immature enamel and in the centre of Liesegang-ring-like calcified materials. Expression of beta-catenin and Lef-1 was observed in the cytoplasm and nucleus of odontogenic epithelial cells adjacent to the ghost cells in immature odontomas. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that odontoma is a hard keratin-expressing tumor-like lesion, and that the Wnt signaling pathway may be involved in the formation of ghost cells in odontomas.
