Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma

We reviewed 74 cases of dedifferentiated central and peripheral chondrosarcoma. Histologically these tumours consist of an underlying cartilaginous component (either benign or malignant) juxtaposed to a highgrade non-cartilaginous component, with a typically abrupt transition between the two tissue types. The noncartilaginous component may constitute a very small or a very large proportion of the tumour, so diagnosis often requires histological evaluation of the entire tumour. The diagnosis is often suspected on the basis of the clinical course and careful evaluation of the radiographie characteristics. Central dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma can be classified radiographically into three types. In type 1 (36 cases in our review) the radiographie features are the same as those of a central chondrosarcoma, with the addition of a region with very aggressive radiographie features. Type 2 lesions (20 cases) resemble the underlying benign enchondroma but also have destructive changes and/or a large soft tissue mass. Type 3 lesions (8 cases) are not distinctive radiographically and present as a very high grade destructive lesion of bone. These cases are diagnosed following biopsy or tumour resection. The prognosis of these tumours is extremely poor, with 13% overall 5-year survival in this series. Improved survival was found in those cases where diagnosis was prompt and surgical treatment with a wide or radical margin was attained. No benefit was found from the use of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Thus, early recognition of the characteristic radiographie features, adequate histological sampling, and wide or radical surgical margins are necessary for satisfactory management of this highly malignant variant of chondrosarcoma.

香菇多糖对肿瘤患者免疫状态的影响

对78例恶性肿瘤患者的免疫状态及其对化疗和化疗加香菇多糖治疗反应进行了检测。结果表明恶性肿瘤患者免疫状态显著低于正常对照组。单纯化疗时，患者自然杀伤细胞（NK）和大颗粒淋巴细胞（LGL）比率明显下降；而化疗加香菇多糖治疗时，则能促进免疫功能活性细胞增加。

Analysis on Mental Features and Nursing Countermeasures for Malignant Ovarian Tumor Patients

Objective To inquire into the mental features of malignant ovarian tumor patients and advance the way to appease the mental state. Methods The mental health status of 168 malignant ovarian tumor patients was evaluated using Symptom Checklist 90 （SCL-90）, and compared with that of normal crowd and other gynecologic malignant tumor patients. Results The scores of suppression, anxiety, fear, somatization, constrain, hostility, interpersonal relationship of the ovary malignant tumor patients were higher than those of the normal model, and the scores of suppression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship higher than those of other gynecologic malignant tumor patients. Conclusions To strengthen the nursing teaching, understand the mental state on time, use moral support therapy, and help the patients to change their inadequate attitude and behavior, can strengthen the therapy confidence and promote the health rehabilitation.     

免疫组化在恶性间皮瘤鉴别诊断中的应用价值

目的 对恶性间皮瘤进行免疫组化的对比性研究,以进一步评价它们在恶性间皮瘤鉴别诊断中的价值。方法 采用免疫组织化学染色(LSAB)法对22例恶性间皮瘤和20例对照组腺癌组织进行EMA、CEA、CK、vimentin、间皮细胞(M-cell)等5种单克隆抗体的标记。结果 恶性间皮瘤的阳性率分别为 M-cell 91％,CEA 9％,vimentin 73％,CK82％,EMA64％;而腺癌的阳性率为分别为M-cell5％,CEA 85％,vimentin 15％,CK100％,EMA 100％。结论 在恶性间皮瘤和腺癌的鉴别诊断中,M-cell和CEA是较理想的标记物,尤其是M-cell,CEA和vimentin三种抗体联合应用更具有价值。而在恶性间皮瘤和其他梭形细胞肿瘤的鉴别诊断中,还应联合使用CK和EMA。     

Inward rectifying potassium channels in human malignant glioma cells

Human glioma cells obtained from established cell lines (Tp-276MG, Tp-301MG, Tp-378MG, Tp-483MG and U-251MG) were analyzed for the presence of ion channels with the tight-seal voltage clamp technique. The current-voltage relation revealed a marked inward rectification at hyperpolarizing voltages, due to the presence of inward rectifying K-channels in cells from all studied cell lines. These channels were conducting when the membrane potential was more negative than the K-equilibrium potential. The slope conductance for the inward K-currents (g_Ki) was affected both by [K⁺]_i and [K⁺]₀. g_Ki was proportional to [K⁺]₀ raised to 0.35 or 0.50, of which the larger value was measured in the presence of low [K⁺]_i (25mM). The rectification was not significantly different in cells perfused with Mg-free EDTA-buffered internal solution. Tl⁺ was 3.5 times more permaant than K⁺. g_ki was blocked by Cs⁺ (1 mM) in a voltage-dependent way (more effective in the hyperpolarized membrane), and by Na⁺ (154 mM) depending on voltage and time. From measurements of unitary current events in membrane patches (outside out or cell attached) the conductance of the single inward rectifying channel was estimated to be 27 ± 7 pS. This type of ion channel may be important for K-uptake by glial cells and hence for the K-homeostasis in the brain.

88例恶性淋巴瘤预后相关资料分析

目的：了解恶性淋巴瘤（ML）发病、病理及免疫分型特点，探讨基因分型在诊断中的作用。方法：通过标准链菌素生物素－过氧化物酶标记物法（SABC法）对病理标本进行免疫分型，PCR检测病理及骨髓标本IgH（FR2A，3A）和TCR（β，γ）基因重排，同时对临床及病理资料进行多因素分析。结果：（1）ML非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）较霍奇金淋巴瘤（HL）发病率高，发病率随年龄增长而递增，60岁以上发病者占38．6％；其平均生存时间明显低于60岁以下者。（2）B－NHL发病率为68．6％，T－NHL为28．6％；B－NHL的3年生存率高于T－NHL。（3）低度恶性NHL占42％，中、高度恶性占58％；低度恶性组平均生存时间较中、高度恶性组长，但统计学上差异无显著性。生存期分析显示I－Ⅱ期NHL预后明显优于Ⅲ－Ⅳ期。（4）PCR检测病理及骨髓标本的IgH和TCR重排，B－NHL FR2A的阳性率分别为66.7%及56．2％；FR3A阳性率分别为90．4％及81．2％；T－NHL中TCRβ、γ阳性率分别为91．7％及75．0％；病理标本的阳性率略高于骨髓，T、B分型与免疫分型相符。结论：年龄，T、B分型和临床分期是影响NHL预后的重要因素；分子生物学检测作为辅助手段可以肯定免疫分型结果并补充其不足，骨髓及外周血检测除协助分型外可用于肿瘤微小残留病的监测。     

Needle tract recurrences after closed biopsy for sarcoma: Three cases and review of the literature

Background: Percutaneous closed needle biopsy of musculoskeletal neoplasms has gained in popularity. However, it remains controversial whether or not to resect the needle tract for fear of a local recurrence. A single published case report exists, noting the lone tract recurrence of an extremity skeletal osteosarcoma. Methods: We report on three additional individuals who demonstrated that tract local recurrences may occur after a closed needle biopsy for nonosteosarcoma, nonextremity sarcomas. For perspective, the world literature is reviewed to identify tract recurrences for other malignancies and the results of needle biopsy in musculoskeletal neoplasms. Results: Eighty-nine percent of needle tract local recurrences occur when carcinomas are subjected to biopsy, as reported in the literature. Forty-seven cases since 1950 are described representing essentially all tumor types. The nature of musculoskeletal neoplasms makes closed biopsy more difficult than for softer, more homogeneous, and easier to access neoplasms. Conclusions: Local recurrences of sarcoma may occur in closed needle biopsy tracts. Strong consideration should be given to open biopsy and tract resection.
