ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) in children. Methods: Twenty-five children with ACC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China from March 2014 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The related literature was reviewed. Results: A total of 25 children with ACC were collected, including 11 males and 14 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.0∶1.3. The patient ages ranged from 8 months to 14 years (median, 4 years). Eighteen cases with clinical data had functional tumors (18/22, 81.8%) presenting with virilization or precocious puberty (15/18), symptoms related to hypercortisolism (8/18) or endocrine symptoms mixed with both (5/18), while 3 cases (3/22, 13.6%) had unknown clinical data. The clinical manifestations of four patients with nonfunctional tumors were an abdominal mass and/or abdominal pain, walking instability and others. Grossly, the average maximum diameter of the tumor was 9.4 cm. Most of the tumors were nodular and partially encapsuled. The cut surfaces were gray or gray brown, soft with hemorrhage. Histologically, the tumor cells were diffusely distributed, separated by a vascular-rich network. The tumor cells were large, with distinct nucleoli, abundant eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm, and round or oval nuclei. The mitotic index was high, and atypical mitoses were common. Necrosis, calcification, capsule invasion or/and venous invasion were present. In some cases, the tumor invaded the surrounding soft tissues or kidneys. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for syn and SF1 and focally positive for α-inhibin, Melan A and Calretinin, but negative for CgA. Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 2%-90%. TP53 gene status was examined in 7 cases, in which mutations were detected in 4 cases. Follow-up data was obtained in 21 patients, among whom 18 received chemotherapy and 3 received radiotherapy. Distant metastasis occurred in 13 patients. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.2 months and median overall survival (OS) was 54.7 months. Patients aged less than 5 years had a better prognosis for OS (P<0.05) than the older ones (≥5 years), but a similar PFS (P>0.05). Male patients and Ki-67 proliferation index <15% had a better prognosis tendency for OS, but there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions: ACC in children is a rare, often functional tumor associated with Li-Fraumeni genetic syndrome and has a poor prognosis. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis require a combination of morphological, phenotypic and clinical analysis.

@#Objective To investigate the relationship between preoperative mean daily step counts and pulmonary complications after thoracoscopic lobectomy in elderly patients. Methods From 2018 to 2021, the elderly patients with pulmonary complications after thoracoscopic lobectomy were included. A 1∶1 propensity score matching was performed with patients without pulmonary complications. The clinical data were compared between the two groups. Results Totally, 100 elderly patients with pulmonary complications were enrolled, including 78 males and 22 females, aged 66.4±4.5 years. And 100 patients without pulmonary complications were matched, including 71 males and 29 females aged 66.2±5.0 years. There was no significant difference in the preoperative data between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared to the patients with pulmonary complications, the ICU stay was shorter (8.1±4.4 h vs. 12.9±7.5 h, P<0.001), the first out-of-bed activity time was earlier (8.8±4.5 h vs. 11.2±6.1 h, P=0.002), and the tube incubation time was shorter (19.3±9.2 h vs. 22.5±9.4 h, P=0.015) in the patients wihout pulmonary complications. There was no statistical difference in other perioperative data between the two groups (P>0.05). The mean daily step counts in the pulmonary complications group were significantly less than that in the non-pulmonary complications group (4 745.5±2 190.9 steps vs. 6 821.1± 2 542.0 steps, P<0.001). The daily step counts showed an upward trend for three consecutive days in the two groups, but the difference was not significant. Conclusion The decline of preoperative mean daily step counts is related to pulmonary complications after thoracoscopic lobectomy in elderly patients. Recording daily step counts can promote preoperative active exercise training for hospitalized patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application value of low-dose spiral CT(LDCT) scanning in high-risk population screening of lung cancer.Methods A total of 1 071 cases of LDCT lung scanning(observation group) and 350 cases of conventional dose CT lung scanning dose(control group) from October 2015 to May 2017 were performed the comparison on mean irradiation dose,lesion occurrence rate and diagnostic accuracy.Results The computed tomographic dose index(CTDI) in the observation group was(0.74±0.28)mSv;the excellent image quality rate was 95.42 ％;the positive detection rate was 43.60 ％ (467/1 071);13cases(1.21 ％)were confirmed as lung cancer by pathology.The average CTDI in the control group was(14.46 ± 4.21)mSv;the excellent image quality rate was 98.85 ％;the positive detection rate was 45.1 ％ (158/350);5 cases(1.43％) were confirmed as lung cancer by pathology.The average radiation dose and image quality showed statistically significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05),and the positive detection rate and diagnostic rate of lung cancer had no statistical difference between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion LDCT scan has good image quality,can significantly reduce the subject's irradiation dose without affecting the detection of lung lesions and lung cancer occurrence rate.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the effects of DL-3-n-butylphthalidle (NBP) on angiogenesis of human um-bilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF)/VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-Notch1/Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4) signaling pathway in this process. METHODS:The serum-free medium and anoxic tank were used to simulate the conditions of hypoxia and ischemia ( H/I). HUVECs were divided into control group, H/I group, H/I+NBPhigh group and H/I+NBPlow group. The HUVECs in control group were conventionally cul-tured, and those in H/I group were cultured under H/I intervention. The HUVECs in H/I+NBPhigh group were treated with NBP at 20 μmol/L under H/I intervention. The HUVECs in H/I+NBPlow group were treated with NBP at 5 μmol/L under H/I intervention. The cell viability of each group was measured by CCK-8 assay. The migration ability of the HUVECs in each group was detected by cell scratch test. The vessel formation ability of the HUVECs was examined by in vitro angiogenesis assay. The expression of VEGFR2, Notch1 and Dll4 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by qPCR and Western blot, and the expression of VEGF was determined by qPCR and ELISA. RESULTS:NBP increased the viability of HUVECs, and promoted the migration ability and the formation of blood vessels in vitro under H/I interven-tion. These effects of NBP at high dose were more significant than those at low dose. NBP increased the expression of VEGF, VEGFR2, Notch1 and Dll4 at mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:NBP promotes HUVECs to form blood vessels under H/I intervention. The mechanism may be related to the activation of VEGF/VEGFR2-Notch1/Dll4 signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the effects of hypoxia exposure on the structure and function of erythrocytes in rats at different time.METHODS:Male SD rats(n=40)were randomly divided into 5 groups,normal control group,1-week hypoxia group ,2-week hypoxia group ,3-week hypoxia group and 4-week hypoxia group ,with 8 rats per group.The rats in hypoxia groups were placed in the simulated 5800 m of high altitude in a hypobaric chamber for different time.The values of detected blood ,erythrocyte deformation index ,erythrocyte osmotic fragility ,erythrocyte oxygen dissociation ,e-rythrocyte apoptosis and bone marrow biopsy were determined.RESULTS:Compared with normal control group ,the red blood cell count ,hemoglobin content ,mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin significantly increased(P<0.01).Eversion rate of phosphatidylserine of erythrocytes increased.Oxygen half-saturation of hemoglobin increased(P<0.05).Bone marrow erythroid proliferation increased.The erythrocyte deformation index and erythrocyte osmotic fra-gility decreased significantly(P<0.01).In addition,oxygen dissociation curves shifted to the right.CONCLUSION:In the early stage of hypoxia ,compared with normal control group ,the changes of erythrocyte structure and function increase the oxygen supply to the tissue and are conducive to adapting to the plateau.However ,with the extension of hypoxia ,ex-cessive erythrocytosis results in thrombosis ,microcirculation disturbance and aggravating tissue hypoxia.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of different transcatheter arterial embolization methods for renal carcino-ma before radical nephrectomy.Methods The related data of 43 patients with renal carcinoma who were confirmed by surgical pa-thology were retrospectively analyzed.Renal artery,renal capsular artery and adrenal artery of lesion side kidney were super-selec-tive embolized before surgery was set as group A,while Lesion side renal artery embolized was set as group B.Direct surgical radical nephrectomy was set as group C.The related data of operation time,ease or complexity of operation,intraoperative blood loss,suc-cess rate of lesion resection and postoperative survival rate were analyzed and compared in the three groups with statistical meth-ods.Results There were significant differences among the three groups in the average operation time,ease or complexity of opera-tion,intraoperative blood loss,success rate of lesion resection and postoperative survival rate (P < 0.01 ).There were significant differences between group A and B about all indexes except success rate of lesion resection(P <0.01).Conclusion The cases with additional transcatheter arterial embolization before radical nephrectomy improved obviously,especially in the cases who underwent completely embolization of lesion side renal artery and renal capsular artery.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Bronchial anthracofibrosis (BAF) has been defined as a luminal narrowing associated with anthracotic pigmentation on bronchoscopy without a relevant history of pneumoconiosis or smoking. The aim of the study is to study the clinical features and imaging manifestations of BAF, and to promote the awareness of this disease.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Between October 2006 and January 2012, 15 patients were diagnosed at our department as BAF that showed a narrowing or obliteration of lobar or segmental bronchi with anthracotic pigmentation in the overlying mucosa on bronchoscopy. The medical records including clinical features, imaging manifestations, electronic bronchoscopic findings, and pathological features were analysed, and the literature was reviewed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 15 patients were analyzed; 13 were female (86.7%) and two were male (13.3%) and the age range was from 62 to 86 years with a mean age of 74.5 years. Three cases (20.0%) had a history of tuberculosis. The most common clinical symptoms of BAF were cough (100%), expectoration (73.3%), dyspnea (60.0%), and fever (46.7%). Twelve cases displayed mild to moderate obstructive ventilatory dysfunction. In the electronic bronchoscopic evaluation, the most common findings were black bronchial mucosal pigmentation, bronchial stenosis, bronchial occlusion, and bronchial mucosal folds. Pathological evaluation revealed chronic inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, submucosal carbon particle deposition, and mucosal or submucosal fibrosis. Chest CT scans showed that 15 patients had bronchial stenosis or obstruction (direct signs) with the right middle lobe being the most common site (11 cases, 73.3%). The indirect sign was mainly the presence of bronchial obstructive diseases (including secondary infection), represented by 11 cases of pulmonary consolidation (73.3%), seven cases of atelectasis (46.7%), and five cases of nodules (33.3%). The CT mediastinal window showed bronchial lymph node lesions, mediastinal lymph node calcification (12 cases, 80.0%), and enlargement of multiple mediastinal lymph nodes.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The diagnosis of BAF was mainly based on bronchoscopic evaluation. Its pathogenesis is currently unclear, although it may be related to tuberculosis or bio-fuel inhalation. The diagnosis of BAF has important clinical significance, and improved awareness of this disease will contribute to prevention of unnecessary thoracotomies.</p>

The present study was aimed to explore the changes of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK) level in skeletal muscle after exposure to acute hypobaric hypoxia and exhaustive exercise. Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sea level and high altitude groups. The rats in high altitude group were submitted to simulated 5 000 m of high altitude in a hypobaric chamber for 24 h, and sea level group was maintained at normal conditions. All the rats were subjected to exhaustive swimming exercise. The exhaustion time was recorded. Before and after the exercise, blood lactate and glycogen content in skeletal muscle were determined; AMPK and pAMPK levels in skeletal muscle were detected by Western blot. The results showed that the exhaustion time was significantly decreased after exposure to high altitude. At the moment of exhaustion, high altitude group had lower blood lactate concentration and higher surplus glycogen content in gastrocnemius compared with sea level group. Exhaustive exercise significantly increased the pAMPK/AMPK ratio in rat skeletal muscles from both sea level and high altitude groups. However, high altitude group showed lower pAMPK/AMPK ratio after exhaustion compared to sea level group. These results suggest that, after exposure to acute hypobaric hypoxia, the decrement in exercise capacity may not be due to running out of glycogen, accumulation of lactate or disturbance in energy status in skeletal muscle.
