结直肠锯齿状腺瘤的临床特征及恶变影响因素分析

目的锯齿状腺瘤被公认为结直肠癌的癌前病变,锯齿状通路被认为是可以独立发展成结直肠癌的重要通路,但目前对于锯齿状腺瘤恶变的相关危险因素还知之甚少。本文旨在分析锯齿状腺瘤在结直肠中的分布特点及潜在恶变因素。方法采用病例对照研究方法,回顾性收集2017年4月至2019年7月期间在中国医学科学院肿瘤医院行肠镜检查并经病理诊断为锯齿状腺瘤患者的临床资料,排除同时具有两种及以上病理类型病变的患者。总结锯齿状腺瘤的临床特征,并进行单因素和Logistic多因素回归分析,探讨锯齿状腺瘤发生恶变的影响因素。结果共在28730例行肠镜检查患者中,发现311例(1.08%)锯齿状腺瘤患者,共发现锯齿状腺瘤372枚。按WHO分类,无蒂锯齿状腺瘤/息肉22枚(5.9%),传统锯齿状腺瘤84枚(22.6%),未分类锯齿状腺瘤266枚(71.5%)。病理结果显示:无异型增生病变106枚(28.5%),低级别上皮内瘤变病变228枚(61.3%),高级别上皮内瘤变或癌变38枚(10.2%)。病变长径<10 mm有204枚(54.8%),≥10 mm有168枚(45.2%);病变位于左半结直肠238枚(64.0%),右半结肠134枚(36.0%)。内镜下大体分型:扁平型16枚(4.3%),无蒂型174枚(46.8%),亚蒂型117枚(31.5%),带蒂型59枚(15.9%)。窄带成像国际结直肠内镜(NICE)分型:Ⅰ型85枚(22.8%),Ⅱ型280枚(75.3%),Ⅲ型4枚(1.1%)。单因素分析显示,病变大小、病变位置、病变部位及不同WHO分类与结直肠锯齿状腺瘤发生恶变有关(均P<0.05);不同NICE分型的锯齿状腺瘤,其恶变率的差异亦有统计学差异(P=0.001)。多因素分析结果显示,病变长径≥10 mm(OR=6.699,95%CI:2.843~15.786)以及病变位于左半结直肠(OR=2.657,95%CI:1.042~6.775)是结直肠锯齿状腺瘤发生恶变的独立危险因素。结论锯齿状腺瘤主要位于左半结直肠,当病变长径≥10 mm或病变位于左半结直肠时,易发生恶变。     

Mutation profile and its correlation with clinicopathology in Chinese hepatocellular carcinoma patients

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common causes of cancer worldwide. Although many studies have focused on oncogene characteristics, the genomic landscape of Chinese HCC patients has not been fully clarified.MethodsA total of 165 HCC patients, including 146 males and 19 females, were enrolled. The median age was 55 years (range, 27–78 years). Corresponding clinical and pathological information was collected for further analysis. A total of 168 tumor tissues from these patients were selected for next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based 450 panel gene sequencing. Genomic alterations including single nucleotide variations (SNV), short and long insertions and deletions (InDels), copy number variations, and gene rearrangements were analyzed. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was measured by an algorithm developed in-house. The top quartile of HCC was classified as TMB high.ResultsA total of 1,004 genomic alterations were detected from 258 genes in 168 HCC tissues. TMB values were identified in 160 HCC specimens, with a median TMB of 5.4 Muts/Mb (range, 0–28.4 Muts/Mb) and a 75% TMB of 7.7 Muts/Mb. The most commonly mutated genes were TP53, TERT, CTNNB1, AXIN1, RB1, TSC2, CCND1, ARID1A, and FGF19. SNV was the most common mutation type and C:G>T:A and guanine transformation were the most common SNVs. Compared to wild-type patients, the proportion of Edmondson grade III–IV and microvascular invasion was significantly higher in TP53 mutated patients (P<0.05). The proportion of tumors invading the hepatic capsule was significantly higher in TERT mutated patients (P<0.05). The proportion of Edmondson grade I-II, alpha fetoprotein (AFP) <25 µmg/L, and those without a history of hepatitis B was significantly higher in CTNNB1 mutated patients (P<0.05). CTNNB1 mutations were associated with TMB high in HCC patients (P<0.05). Based on correlation analysis, the mutation of TP53 was independently correlated with microvascular invasion (P=0.002, OR =3.096) and Edmondson grade III–IV (P=0.008, OR =2.613). The mutation of TERT was independently correlated with tumor invasion of the liver capsule (P=0.001, OR =3.030), and the mutation of CTNNB1 was independently correlated with AFP (<25 µmg/L) (P=0.009, OR =3.414).ConclusionsThe most frequently mutated genes of HCC patients in China were TP53, TERT, and CTNNB1, which mainly lead to the occurrence and development of HCC by regulating the P53 pathway, Wnt pathway, and telomere repair pathway. There were more patients with microvascular invasion and Edmondson III–IV grade in TP53 mutated patients and more patients with hepatic capsule invasion in TERT mutated patients, while in CTNNB1 mutated patients, there were more patients with Edmondson I–II grade, AFP <25 µmg/L, and a non-hepatitis B background. Also, the TMB values were significantly higher in CTNNB1 mutated patients than in wild type patients.     

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma involving colon with unusual histologic features and diagnostic challenges: A case report

Introduction and importanceRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of all malignancies in adults, on its own being the 3rd most common urologic malignancy. Commonly RCC metastasizes to lung, bone, liver, brain but rarely to colorectum. Here we present the metastasis of RCC to colon with unusual histologic features.Case presentationA 40-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and constipation. Colonoscopy showed an ulcerative mass 30 cm from anal verge. Subsequently, she underwent abdominoperineal resection of the involved portion of colon and the biopsy was sent to us for histopathological analysis. Grossly, it was a large fungating mass. Microscopic examination revealed a malignant neoplasm with polygonal cells, abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, eccentric nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of RCC.Clinical discussionColon rarely infiltrated by metastasis from RCC and so far, around 25 of such cases have been reported in the literature. Most common metastatic type of RCC to gastrointestinal tract is clear cell type. In our patient, the type of the metastatic RCC to colon was RCC with rhabdoid features. RCC with rhabdoid features is rare (3–5% of all RCC), but it is highly aggressive with higher chance of metastasis, extra renal invasion and poorer prognosis.ConclusionRCC should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis of colorectal cancers. Appropriate immunohistochemical workup would then reveal the correct diagnosis.

The concept of distinct but voluminous groups of bipolar and unipolar diseases

Summary One hundred and six affective (76 unipolar and 30 bipolar) and 101 schizoaffective patients (45 unipolar and 56 bipolar) were investigated after a long-term course of illness, evaluating sociodemographic and general data, the long-term course of illness, disability and psychosocial alterations according to WHO/DAS, WHO/PIRS and GAS, as well as several social consequences of the illness (living situation at the end of the observation time, downward occupational drift, downward social drift, premature retirement, achievement of the expected social development). Comparing the 30 bipolar affective and 56 bipolar schizoaffective disorders, no differences were found regarding (a) sociodemographic and general data (i.e. sex distribution, age at onset, education and occupation at onset, stable heterosexual relationship, premorbid personality and social interactions, mental illness in the family, broken home, life events, season of birth and social classes) and (b) relevant patterns of the long-term course. Regarding long-term out-come the only difference found concerned the more favourable outcome of the bipolar affective disorders according to WHO/DAS, while using GAS the difference was not statistically significant. No difference was found either between the two bipolar groups in the social consequences of the illness. The combining of both bipolar groups as bipolar diseases is discussed, as well as the use of the terms bipolar disease, affective subtype and bipolar disease, schizoaffective subtype.     

Adenocarcinoma arising in Barrett's esophagus

A review of nine adenocarcinomas of the esophagus arising in Barrett's epithelium was undertaken. We found the disease among white males disproportionately. Risk factors and incidence rate remain to be clarified. Only one patient was in a surveillance program and only he had carcinoma discovered "early." He still survives while only one of the eight whose diagnosis followed investigation of symptoms remains alive.     

结直肠间质瘤临床病理特征及预后分析

目的 探究结直肠间质瘤预后相关因素,并通过列线图预测该肿瘤生存概率,为指导临床评估预后提供依据.方法: 通过监测流行病学和最终结果(surveillance, epidemiology, and end results, SEER)数据库获取1992年1月至2015年12月结直肠间质瘤临床病理及预后相关资料,对入组患者进行生存分析,将分析得到的独立预后因素绘制成列线图,之后采用校准曲线评估列线图预测生存准确性.结果: 546例结直肠间质瘤患者被纳入研究.中位发病年龄64岁,区域淋巴结转移率9.4%.546例患者多因素生存分析显示发病年龄 > 64岁,未婚/离婚,结肠间质瘤(与直肠间质瘤相比),非手术治疗,组织分化级别高,区域淋巴结转移及远处转移具有更差的肿瘤特异性生存和总生存(P均<0.05), 美国东部地区诊治患者比西部地区患者具有更长的总生存时间(P = 0.027),以上独立预后因素预测肿瘤特异性生存率和总生存率的C指数分别为0.76(95%CI: 0.72-0.80)和0.75(95%CI: 0.72-0.78).在174例组织分化级别和肿瘤部位明确的患者中,影响肿瘤特异性生存和总生存的独立预后因素为年龄,组织分化级别和是否行手术治疗(P均<0.05),而肿瘤部位仅与肿瘤特异性生存显著相关(P = 0.041),未证实与总生存显著相关(P = 0.057),采用这4个预后影响因素预测546例患者肿瘤特异性生存率和总生存率的C指数分别是0.71(95%CI: 0.66-0.75)和0.73(95%CI: 0.70-0.77), 能较准确预测结直肠间质瘤患者总生存率.结论: 结直肠间质瘤预后受多个临床病理因素影响,列线图能为预测结直肠间质瘤患者生存率提供依据.
