胃粘膜癌变初发点及其组织背景的病理学：癌变初发点的一般组织病理学

本文通过对228例各种类型胃粘膜上皮异型增生的病理切片的复查,发现并详细地描述了不同类型异型增生腺管和上皮细胞癌变的初发点(Start point)。其形态有的是从再生腺管的腺颈部或底部以“发芽”形式,向质内浸润并分枝生长;有的是从再生腺管基底膜向侧方的间质浸润。从再生的胃上皮型异型腺管所出现的癌变多为低分化型腺癌;从肠上皮型异型腺管所发生的癌变则为高分化型腺癌。强调了胃粘膜再生性异型增生有些具有癌前性质。     

Biochemical Markers of Bone Turnover in Camurati–Engelmann Disease: A Report on Four Cases in One Family

Moderate increases in ``classical' biochemical markers of bone turnover have been described only in some patients with Camurati–Engelmann disease. However, the determination of the following ``new' markers has not been previously performed: serum osteocalcin (BGP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), aminoterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), telopeptide carboxyterminal of type I collagen (ICTP), urinary pyridinoline (PYR), crosslinked N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTX), and Crosslaps (CL). Such a determination may improve the evaluation of the disease activity. To evaluate the usefulness of biochemical markers of bone turnover reflecting Camurati–Engelmann disease activity we measured the levels of all these markers in four affected patients. The results were compared with bone scintigraphic indices of disease activity. Except for PICP and TRAP, bone formation and resorption markers were abnormal in all patients and were related to bone scan indices of disease activity. Among the markers of bone formation PINP, BAP, and BGP showed the highest values, whereas NTX and CL were the most sensitive markers of bone resorption. These results suggest that the determination of NTX or CL, and PINP or either BAP and BGP, associated with bone scan evaluation, provides the best assessment of Camurati–Engelmann disease activity.

Histopathology of the teeth in segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia: new findings

Histological examination of the deciduous teeth in two cases of segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOMD) showed fibrous enlargement of the pulps, an irregular pulp/dentine interface displaying many pseudoinclusions and pulp stones. There were tubular defects in the coronal dentine from pulp horn to cusp tip, an irregular tubular structure to the circumpulpal dentine of the apical half, a focally deficient odontoblast layer and widespread external resorption. Together with the clinical features of unilateral maxillary enlargement, upper alveolar expansion in the distal segment, increased spacing and delayed eruption of the deciduous molars and absence of premolar teeth, these histological appearances allow distinction of this condition from fibrous dysplasia (FD), segmental hemifacial hypertrophy (SHH) and regional odontodysplasia (ROD).     

Aplasia of submandibular salivary glands associated with ectodermal dysplasia.

We describe a 28-year-old white Caucasian man displaying many of the physical signs of ectodermal dysplasia (ED). An unusual finding was his presentation with xerostomia. Salivary gland imaging techniques revealed aplasia of both submandibular salivary glands and relatively small parotids. The case highlights that hypoplasia and aplasia of exocrine glands could be rare features of ED. In the management of ED, early detection of xerostomia is important to limit any potential damage to the already hypodontic dentition.     

早产儿血清表皮生长因子水平与脑发育相关研究

目的探讨早产儿血清表皮生长因子水平与脑发育的关系。方法依据入选标准观察对象为自2005年8月起连续收治入本院新生儿病房、出生24h内的胎龄为34周±3d的“正常”早产适于胎龄儿30例。采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法,分别测定30例早产儿生后24h内和出生第8天空腹股静脉血清表皮生长因子(EGF)水平,分别为t0和t1值,计算血清EGF浓度变化的速率(Δt)。同时,在新生儿出生后6周(纠正胎龄接近40周)和纠正1月龄时进行NBNA评分测定。并将以上实验室数据与新生儿行为神经测定(NBNA)评分值及差值、早产儿出生后的头围增长值及增长速率进行Pearson相关分析。如果P值<0.05,则认为差有统计学意义。结果30例早产儿观察对象t0为(234.71±58.07)pg/ml,t1为(347.81±87.49)pg/ml,Δt为(16.16±9.94)(12.14、15.20)pg/ml/d;Pearson相关分析显示2次NBNA评分结果及差值、出生后6周和纠正1月龄时的头围增长值/增长速率与t0值无相关性(P>0.05);2次NBNA评分结果及差值、出生后6周和纠正1月龄时的头围增长值/增长速率与t1和Δt之间有相关性(P<0.05)。结论研究结果表明,早产儿出生后血清EGF浓度呈上升趋势,提示早产儿出生后体内EGF合成和释放增加,可能促进脏器成熟和组织修复;更重要的是,早产儿出生1周时高水平血清EGF浓度和/或较快上升速率者,其出生后头围增长速度也快,可能有较好的脑发育水平、远期预后良好。     

胃恶性上皮核仁组成区相关蛋白的研究

用嗜银染色技术对34例良性胃溃疡、40例胃粘膜异型增生、46例胃腺癌组织石蜡切片中的核仁组成相关蛋白(AgNOR)进行研究,25例正常胃粘膜组织作对照。发现对照组、良性溃疡组,异型增生组和腺癌组的细胞核AgNOR平均计数差异有显著性(P<0.01)。恶性细胞中AgNOR的体积、形状及在细胞核内的位置也不相同。作者认为此法有助于区别胃的良性和恶性病变。     

The difficult primary hip

Hip arthroplasty is a common orthopaedic procedure with proven long-term success and reliable results. A wide range of associated conditions may affect the outcome of the arthroplasty and the surgeon has to keep these in mind when planning the surgery. In this article, such situations are discussed and recommendations are drawn from the evidence available in literature.     

Rotational acetabular osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia of the hip with a giant acetabular bone cyst: a case report

In acetabular dysplasia of the hip joint accompanied by a giant acetabular bone cyst, rotational acetabular osteotomy may cause serious complications, such as bone necrosis after surgery or fracture of the fragile acetabulum during the operation. In a patient with this condition, we performed a two-stage operation: first, autogenous bone grafting supplemented with hydroxyapatite filling, then rotational acetabular osteotomy (after new bone formation had been assured). Radiographs and CT scans showed favorable fusion of the grafted bone. Some 18 months after the second operation, arthrograms showed no inflow of contrast medium from the articular cavity into the bone cyst region, although this had been observed before treatment. Thus, an effective remodeling of bony congruency was indicated in the mobile acetabulum 5 years after the second operation. This two-stage operation appears to be useful for correcting acetabular dysplasia accompanied by a giant bone cyst and to carry a reduced risk of serious complications, such as deterioration of the articular surface of the acetabulum or necrosis of the translocated acetabulum.     

Rhizomelic Bone Dysplasia with Club-like Femora (Case report and confirmation of a syndrome)

A newborn with rhizomelic bone dysplasia with club-like femora is reported. This is the fourth case Of this easily recognizable, recently reported, congenital bone disease. Maroteaux et al recently reported two patients with rhizomelic bone dysplasia and club-like femora as a distinctive new bone dysplasia. Their observation was confirmed by Gugliantini et al (2) who reported another case. This paper reports a fourth patient with this easily recognisable disorder.     

Greenberg dysplasia (hydrops–ectopic calcification–moth‐eaten skeletal dysplasia): Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis and review of literature

A second pregnancy of young, nonconsanguineous parents of Macedonian ethnic origin was examined by ultrasound. Polyhydramnios and hydrops fetalis were found as well as severe short limb, short stature, and cystic hygroma of the neck. An artificial abortion was performed at the age of 23 weeks. The radiological features included moth‐eaten severely shortened long bones and ectopic calcifications of long bones, vertebral column, ribs, pelvis, larynx, trachea. In addition, the fetus had large head with depressed nasal bridge, severe platyspondyly, and short barrel‐shaped trunk. Light microscopy demonstrated lack of chondrocyte columns and disorganization of the cartilaginous architecture. This is the seventh reported case of this rare form of lethal skeletal dysplasia. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
