Fine-needle cytology of an eccrine spiradenoma of the breast: diagnosis made by a holistic approach.

Eccrine spiradenoma is a rather rare adnexal tumor of the skin. When the clinical presentation is that of a breast neoplasm, diagnosis can be difficult. As cytology was a new procedure for this tumor, the approach of choice appeared to be a holistic one. The cytologic picture showed bland groups of uniformly sized cuboid cells with scant cytoplasm, round to ovoid nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli, while in the groups rosettelike structures could be discerned. Only by integrating the data of clinical history, inspection, palpation, reaction on breast puncture, and immunologic findings could the diagnosis be made.     

Blood platelets in severely injured burned patients

Unbelievable decrease of blood-platelet in the severely burned patients during the treatment of skingrafting caused two patients to unexpected death. From the records of changes of platelet number, a certain ‘platelet curve’ was made. By observing the curve, our treatments of skingrafting were carried out during the stable period and from then on we had no death cases.     

Comparison of flow capacities of arterial and venous grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting: evaluation with exercise thallium-201 single-photon emission tomography

Stress thallium-201 tomography was performed to compare the flow capacities of arterial and saphenous vein grafts in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). One hundred and seven consecutive patients (95 male and 12 female; mean age 58±9.1 years) underwent exercise-redistribution ²⁰¹Tl myocardial single-photon emission tomography 4–5 weeks after CABG. When a reversible perfusion defect was present in the area covered by a patent bypass graft, the flow capacity of the graft was defined as insufficient. Of all 285 grafts, 211 were considered as complete bypass. Reversible perfusion defects were present in 29 (27%) of 108 myocardial areas supplied by patent arterial grafts but in only 5 (5%) of 103 myocardial areas supplied by patent saphenous vein grafts (P<0.0001). In the LAD area reversible defects were observed in 22 of 82 areas covered by arterial grafts, in contrast to only 1 of 29 areas covered by venous grafts (P<0.01); in the RCA area reversible defects were observed in 7 of 17 and 4 of 41 areas respectively (P<0.01). There was no difference between the native coronary artery stenosis bypassed by patent arterial and venous grafts (88%±12% vs 86%±14% respectively, P=0.27). In conclusion, flow capacities during peak myocardial demand were more frequently insufficient in arterial bypass grafts than in saphenous vein grafts.

西罗莫司与未成熟树突状细胞延长小鼠皮肤移植存活时间的协同作用

目的 研究西罗莫司（SRL）对小鼠骨髓源树突状细胞（DC）分化及成熟的影响，观察西罗莫司与未成熟树突状细胞在延长小鼠皮肤移植存活时间中的协同作用。方法 （1）在诱导C57BL／6小鼠骨髓细胞定向分化为DC时加入SRL，通过流式细胞仪检测CD11c、CD86及MHCⅡ类分子表达情况，经脂多糖（LPS）刺激后，再检测各分子表达的变化。（2）通过单向混合淋巴细胞反应（MLR）观察经SRL处理的DC刺激同种异基因小鼠T细胞增殖情况。（3）以C57BL／6小鼠为供者，BALB／c小鼠为受者建立皮肤移植模型。观察皮肤移植前7d经尾静脉注射供者未成熟DC及经胃管连续灌注SRL7d的受者移植皮片存活情况及组织学变化。结果 （1）经SRL处理的DC表面CD11c表达仅有轻度降低，但CD86和MHCⅡ类分子表达明显减少。（2）MLR显示经SRL处理的DC刺激同种异基因小鼠T细胞增殖的能力降低。（3）受者皮肤移植术前联合应用供者未成熟DC和SRL，可减轻移植皮片炎症反应并延长其存活时间。结论 SRL对DC分化的影响不明显，但可抑制DC发育成熟。受者术前应用SRL和未成熟DC可延长皮肤移植的存活时间。     

湿性皮肤再生技术在皮肤擦伤的应用

目的:探导湿性皮肤再生技术治疗皮肤擦伤的疗效。方法:自2000年1月-2005年10月,治疗头面部、躯干和四肢急性皮肤擦伤共353例,其中采用湿润烧伤膏和暴露疗法治疗(新法组)185例,按传统疗法清创治疗(传统组)168例。结果:新法组7天内痊愈116例,占62．7％;14天内痊愈59例,占3713％;总有效率100％。传统组7天内痊愈82例,占48．8％;14天内痊愈58例,占34．5％;另外28例,占16．7％,发生不同程度的创面感染,痂下积脓,需作再次清创,碘伏湿敷或改用MEBO治疗,创面延期愈合,愈后瘢痕增生明显。结论:湿润烧伤膏和暴露疗法治疗皮肤擦伤与传统疗法比较,具有缩短创面愈合时间,愈后不留瘢痕等优点。

Epidermolysis bullosa herpetiformis (Dowling-Meara type) exhibits ultrastructural derangement of tonofilaments and desmosomes

Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies of clinically intact skin obtained from three severe neonatal cases of epidermolysis bullosa herpetiformis (Dowling-Meara type) demonstrated disorders in the assembly of keratin intermediate filaments and desmosomes of the keratinocytes. During mitosis, K5- and K14-positive and K1- and K10-negative tonofilaments were disrupted and formed spherical bodies associated with intracytoplasmic desmosomes by invagination of the desmosomes and the adjacent plasma membrane. During the invagination process, destructive changes in the internalized membrane were noted. These were accompanied by gradual loss of reactivity with a monoclonal antibody ZK31, which detected plasma membrane adjacent to the attachment plaques of desmosomes. However, the reactivity of the attachment plaques of the internalized desmosomes for desmoplakins and desmoglein did not decline during the process of internalization. In the suprabasal layers of the epidermis, filamentous substructures and K1 and K10 appeared at the periphery of the spherical bodies. Simultaneously, the desmosomes that were sparsely located in the lower epidermis, increased in number as cell differentiation progressed. Thus, the keratinocytes attained an almost normal appearance with respect to tonofilaments and desmosomes by the time they reached the upper layer of the epidermis. These findings may be relevant to the mechanism responsible for the clinical appearance of the herpetiform blisters in epidermolysis bullosa herpetiformis, which are also characterized by spontaneous involution during childhood or when exposed to high ambient temperatures.Part of this work was presented at the annual meeting of the Japanese Society for Ultrastructural Cutaneous Biology, 12 May 1990, Tokushima, Japan, at the joint meeting of the Society for Cutaneous Ultrastructure Research and the Japanese Society for Ultrastructural Cutaneous Biology, 23–25 May 1991, Vienna, Austria, and at the sixth Conference on Disorders of Keratinization, 6 July 1991, Tokyo, Japan
