Benign osteoblastoma of the occipital bone: Case report and literature review

We present a case of benign osteoblastoma of the occipital bone. Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon primary bone tumor, which usually involves the vertebrae and the long bones. This tumor rarely develops in the calvaria, showing a preference for the temporal and frontal bones when it does. To the best of our knowledge, this case is only the eighth reported case of benign osteoblastoma confined to the occipital bone. A 20‐year‐old male presented with a mild tender mass lesion of the occipital area, just below the lambda. Plain X‐ray films and CT scans demonstrated an osteolytic mass surrounded by the sclerotic rim within the diploic space. MRI proved to be effective for the evaluation of the intracranial and intraosseous extensions of the tumor. However, it was very difficult to formulate a differential diagnosis against other osteoblastic tumors, or osteoid osteoma, in view of its radiological appearance. The final diagnosis was obtained by careful consideration of the histopathological characteristics of the tumor combined with its clinical and radiological features. Although generally regarded as benign, a complete resection is preferred over conventional curettage as this can guard against possible recurrence and malignant transformation.

六味地黄冲剂对肾阴虚病人血浆中锌铜含量的影响

肾阴虚病人血浆中锌、铜含量均较正常人血浆中锌,铜含量明显增高(P<0.01)。男女性别间本组未见差异。服用治疗肾阴虚药物六味地黄3种剂型后均使锌,铜含量明显降低(P<0.01),六味地黄冲剂与汤剂效果一致。

Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Breast: A Case Report

A 66-year-old woman time of 10 days. One month after radicalmastectomy, there was local recurrence, followed by multiplepulmonary metastases, and the patient died of respiratory failure5 months after surgery. The gray-white-colored tumor measured13x12x;10 cm, and its border was well defined. The tumor wascomposed of diffusely growing round or polygonal cells withvesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and ample cytoplasm containingeosinophilic inclusions. Lymph node involvement was widespread.Both vimentin and keratin were clearly demonstrated by immunohistochemicalstaining. Ultrastructural studies revealed that the MRT cellscontained cytoplasmic whorls of intermediate filaments.     

食管癌、胃癌组织的低密度脂蛋白受体分析

以１２５Ⅰ－ＬＤＬ为配体对食管癌、胃癌及其相应的正常组织进行了ＬＤＬ受体水平的测定，同时分析了各组织中蛋白质、ＤＮＡ的含量，以探讨食管癌和胃癌发生与ＬＤＬ代谢之间的关系。结果显示，癌组织和正常组织的ＬＤＬ受体亲和性差异无显著性，但癌变组织的蛋白质、ＤＮＡ和ＬＤＬ受体水平均明显高于相应正常组织。癌细胞需要大量的胆固醇满足其有丝分裂，细胞通过受体升高机制使ＬＤＬＲ增多，以增加对ＬＤＬ的摄取和利用。     

Analysis of kidney volume growth during the fetal period in humans

Summary The growth of fetal kidney volume was studied in 290 specimens taken from 145 fresh human fetuses (85 males and 60 females) with gestational age ranging from 13 to 36 weeks postconception (WPC). Normative equations and curves of the growth of renal volume were obtained for male and female fetuses and for the whole sample in the second trimester (13–24 WPC) and in the third trimester (25–36 WPC) of gestation. There was no difference between the growth in volume of the right and left kidneys. Fetal kidney volume increases with a more intense rhythm in the early fetal period (13–24 WPC). During the second trimester, there was no difference between the values for renal volume of male and female fetuses. In the third trimester, male fetuses had renal volumes significantly greater than the female fetuses. The normative parameters of renal volume could have practical applications in detection and monitoring of renal anomalies in fetal and perinatal urology.Supported by grants 302, 369/86.4/BM-FV from the National Conucil of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq, Brazil) and Grant E.29/170.787/89 from the Rio de Janeiro Foundation for Research Support (FAPERJ).     

Expression of ɛBP, a β-galactoside-binding soluble lectin, in normal and neoplastic epidermis

Abstract The study of animal lectins and glycoconjugates has become an important area of research in biomedical sciences, as these molecules are believed to play important roles in a variety of biological processes. This report describes a study of the expression of an animal lectin, IgE-binding protein (?BP), also known as Mac-2 and CBP35, in human skin. We have analyzed cultured human keratinocytes as well as normal human skin and a number of epidermal neoplasms, by immunoblotting. immuno-fluorescence and immunohistochemistry. We showed that ?BP is expressed in human keratinocytes, hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands. We found that cBP expression retains in various epidermal neoplasms, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and keratoacan-thoma, although the level of expression appears to be reduced as compared to normal epidermis. The immunohistochemical analysis also suggests that the level of ?BP expression appears to be dependent on the degree of cellular differentiation of keratinocytes.     

血清脂质结合唾液酸测定对肺部病变的诊断价值

本文介绍正常人113名,肺部恶性病变49例及肺部良性病变33例的血清LSA测定结果,正常人血清LSA含量平均值为0.1243±0.0358g/L。特异性97.40％,男女间无差异,48例肺癌血清LSA平均值0.2698±0.0915g/L,敏感性85.40％;33例良性病变LSA平均值0.1712±0.0767g/L,特异性78.79％。肺癌患者血清LSA较良性病变明显升高,故测定血清LSA对鉴别良恶性病变有一定价值。
