RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the expression of SMARCA4 (BRG1) and SMARCB1 (INI-1) protein in endometrial dedifferentiated carcinoma (DDC) and undifferentiated carcinoma (UDC), and their correlation with clinicopathologic features.@*Methods@#Clinicopathological information was gathered for 26 cases of DDC and UDC and consulting hospitals from January, 2006 to December, 2018 in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, including 10 cases of DDC and 16 cases of UDC. Morphologic features and diagnosis were reviewed by two pathologists. Immunohistochemistry for expression of BRG1 and INI1 protein was performed. The correlations with clinicopathologic features were analyzed.@*Results@#BRG1 and INI1 loss were present in 14 of 26 cases of DDC/UDC, including 12 BRG1-deficient cases and 2 INI1-deficient cases, respectively. Six cases demonstrated variable amounts of rhabdoid cells in 14 BRG1/INI1-deficient cases, and only 1 case showed rhabdoid cells in the 12 intact expression cases. However, there was no significantly statistical difference (P=0.060). Age, invasive depth, lymph node status and FIGO stage were not associated with the expression of the BRG1 and INI1 (P=0.437, P=0.672, P=0.242, P=0.348). Remarkably, the BGR1/INI1-deficient patients had worse survival than those with intact expression (4.7 vs. 22.9, P=0.033).@*Conclusion@#BRG1/INI1-deficient is observed in approximately half of DDC and UDC. Identification of these tumors is clinically relevant due to their more aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Hence, BRG1 and INI1 immunohistochemical stains should be performed for DDC and UDC in order to help the pathologists to distinguish these tumors from other carcinomas, and to predict the clinical prognosis.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE： To analyze the clinical manifestations and characteristics of adverse drug reactions （ADR） induced by osimertinib mesylate， and to provide reference for clinical safe use of drugs. METHODS： Retrieved from PubMed， Wanfang database， CNKI and VIP during database establishment-Aug. 2018， ADR cases of osimertinib mesylate were analyzed retrospectively in respects of patient’s age， gender， nationality， usage and dosage of osimertinib mesylate， occurrence time of ADR， clinical manifestations， treatment measures and outcome， etc. RESULTS： A total of 20 articles were included， involving 21 patients. The age of the patients was 32-82 years old， and the proportion of patients aged 57-79 was the largest （80.9％）. The female with ADR （14 cases） were more than the male. The patients were from 5 countries， in which Japan took the most ratio （13 cases， 61.9％）. The dose of osimertinib mesylate was 160 mg/d in a patient and commonly recommended dose 80 mg/d for other patients. The most ADR cases （16 cases， 76.2％） occurred within 3 months， and no reports of ADR occurred more than 12 months. Organs/systems involved in ADRs were mainly respiratory system （11 case times， 45.8％） and digestive system （6 cases， 25.0％）， in addition， ADR also occurred in cardiovascular system， hematological system， systemic reactions， skin and eyes. Among 21 patients， 3 cases were mild ADR so that they were given same dose with same frequency. A patient suffered from interstitial pneumonia and was given medicine every other day and symptomatic treatment； the symptoms of the patient were relieved. Other 17 cases were relieved after drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment， but 2 patients died of tumor progression. CONCLUSIONS： In clinical application of osimertinib mesylate， attention should be paid to ADR monitoring， especially short-term ADR， especially ADR of respiratory， digestive system.
RESUMO
Radiotherapy is a very important treatment for early or advanced stage of prostate cancer (CaP).Radioresistance is the most important challenge for current radiotherapy.It is of great importance to study the mechanisms of radioresistance and to develop new treatment strategies that can overcome radioresistance.In CaP patients,microRNAs (miRNAs) are usually abnormally expressed,and radiotherapy can significantly alter the expression levels of miRNAs.There are increasing evidences that miRNAs are closely related to tumor radioresistance.The mechanism of action of miRNAs in regulating radioresistance is very complex.The possible mechanisms include DNA damage response,cell cycle checkpoint activation,apoptosis,autophagy,tumor stem cells,hypoxia,etc.The previous studies showed that miRNAs hold potential as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CaP radiotherapy.New technologies targeting miRNAs combined with radiotherapy are expected to overcome CaP radioresistance,which will help to achieve precise radiotherapy,and bring hope to patients.

RESUMO
Objective:Increased D-dimer level has been recently correlated with the progression and high mortality rate of some cancers. This study aimed to determine whether the plasma D-dimer level was a predictor of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods:Clinical data of 425 with NHL were retrospectively reviewed. Variables such as clinicopathological factors, plasma D-dimer levels, and the international prognostic index (IPI) were evaluated. Results: The plasma D-dimer level was closely correlated with the IPI. The overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of the low plasma D-dimer levels were 80%, 75%, and 50%;those for the high plasma D-dimer levels were 41%, 33%, and 9%, respectively (P<0.001). Compared with an IPI of zero or one, IPI values≥4 were predictive of poor prognosis (P<0.001). The Ann Arbor stage, pathological classification, plasma D-dimer level, and IPI were found to be significantly as-sociated with mortality. However, similar to IPI, the plasma D-dimer level was the independent risk factor affecting multivariate analy-sis. Conclusion:High D-dimer levels are a potential prognostic marker for NHL.
RESUMO
Objective To elucidate the effects of thalidomide on proliferation of human renal cell line 786-0 and the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in this cell line. Methods Cell was treated with different doses of thalidomide(6.25 μg/ml, 25 μg/ml, 100 μg/ml) respectively or normal saline as control; cell survival rate was analyzed by MTT assay. The mRNA level of bFGF was detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). bFGF protein expression in 786-0 cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results Thalidomide, ranging from 6.25 μg/ml to 100 μg/ml, suppressed the proliferation of 786-0 cell line in vitro significantly. After application of thalidomide for 48 and 72 hours, the IC50 was 46.42 μg/ml and 19.56 μg/ml respectively. Apoptosis rate increased from 12.43 % to 30.30 %, accompanying with reducing expression of bFGF. Application of thalidomide (25 μg/ml) induced the most significant inhibition to the bFGF in the cell line. Conclusion Thalidomide down-regulates bFGF expression, inhibit the proliferation, and induce apoptosis in 786-0 cell line.

RESUMO
Objective To detect and type herpes simplex virus (HSV) in genital lesions of the patients attending STD clinic. Methods Clinical data were collected and analyzed from patients with anogenital non-herpetic lesions including induration or furuncle, fissure, folliculitis, single ulcer and so on. HSV was detected and typed by culture and PCR with specimens taken from these lesions. Results One hundred and five cases were recruited in this study. Among them, 18 cases presented induration (furuncle), 15 fissure, 16 folliculitis, 7 abrasion, 12 single ulcer, 25 nonspecific erythema and 12 balanoposthitis with edema and exudation. HSV was found in 33.3%(6/18), 20%(3/15), 37.5%(6/16), 28.6%(2/7), 33.3%(4/12), 20%(5/25) and 50%(6/12) of these lesions, repectively, by PCR, while in 22.2%(4/18), 13.3%(2/15), 25%(4/16), 14.3%(1/7), 33.3%(4/12), 8%(2/25) and 41.7%(5/12), repectively, by viral culture. The positive rates of HSV from all these non-herpetic lesions were 30.5% (32/105) and 21% (22/105), respectively (? = 0.095, P = 0.114), by PCR and viral culture. The results of HSV typing were consistent between PCR and immunofluorescence with type-specific monoclonal antibodies. Among those with HSV infections, HSV-1 infection acounted for 9.4% (3/32), and HSV-2 90.6% (29/32). Conclusions The clinical manifestations of genital HSV infections vary, and HSV could be isolated from lesions of induration (furuncle), fissure, folliculitis, abrasion, single ulcer, nonspecific erythema and balanoposthitis with edema and exudation. HSV-2 is the predominant type.
RESUMO
The relationships between cholinergic neurons and SP terminals were examined in the rat sacral ventral horn at the light and electron microscopic levels by means of double immunostaining methods. Cholinergic neurons were labeled by a monoclonal antibody to choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) with the avidin-biotin technique and stained bluish-green by indolyl-?-galactoside reaction products with ?-galactosidase as a marker. On the same sections, SP fibers were labeled by polyclonal antisera to SP after application of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method and stained brown by diaminobenzidine (DAB)reaction. At the light microscopic level CHAT-I neurons stained bluish-green and SP- I fibers Stained brown were found in the ventral horn. At the electron microscopic level, many asymmetrical axodendritic synapses(type I of Gray)were observed between CHAT-I dendrites and SP-I terminals in the ventral horn, but axosomatic synapses and symmetrical synapses (type I of Gray) were hardly detected. These results indicate that SP-I terminals make direct synapses with CHAT-I motoneurons of sacral ventral horn. These synapses may be predominantly excitatory and have importance in the control of muscular constriction.
RESUMO
Specimens of skin, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, brain, peripheral nerve and catilage were taken from 6 cadavers (divided into 2 groups) perfused and embalmed with formalin. 90 pieces of the above-mentioned tissues were taken in different times and the paraffin sections were stained by routine HE. Electron microscopic observation was made from some skin and skeletal muscle specimens, and histochemical methods were used to demonstrate DNA, RNA, keratin(-SH, -SS), fatty acids and calcium in some skin materials. Loyez stain method for myelin sheath was applied to some brain and nerve sections.1. Skin tissue: In both group A and B, 83.3% and 78.9% of skin materials were appraised as grade I and II (excellent and good) respectively. The morphological changes appeared mainly as karyopyknosis of the epidermal cells and shrinkage of the secretory part of the sweat glands. Most of the skin tissues of the corpses perfused 3～4 hrs after death were well preserved, only 8.3% being in grade Ⅲ (moderate). On the other hand, 43% of skin materials taken from those perfused 30 hrs after death were in grade Ⅲ. Ultrastructurally, the shape of the epidermal cells and their adhensions still remained intact, but karyopyknosis or chromolysis and autolysis of most of the cytoplasmic membraneous structures were found. In those cadavers preserved for less than one year, there was no evidence of progressive changes in microscopic and submicroscopic structures of the skin. The tonofillaments and desmosomes were still kept well in those specimens preserved for many years, and their presence may be the cause of maintaining cell integrity. Histochemically, mercapto-reaction of keratin was kept stable and found to be well shown even in old samples of skin, but the disulfide reaction usually showed marked fading with time, probably due to exofolition of the stratum corneum. However, this reaction was well shown in the hairs and not weakened for many years.2. Fat tissue: Hydrolysis of lipid substances of subcutancous fat and sebaceous gland, as shown by the presence of fatty acid, was found in the corpses preserved even as short as half a year.3. Skeletal muscle: The preservation state of the skeletal muscle was also dependent on the complete perfusion in time. The structure of the muscle fibers was generally worse preserved than that of the skin as shown in severe myolysis. Since stagnation of the small blood vessels frequently accompanied myolysis, obstruction of microcirculation which prevented the permeation of fomalin into the muscle tissues may be the cause of rapid myolysis. The ultrastructural changes of the muscle fibers were the same as those of the epidermal cells. In all specimens even as old as 30 years, two types of myofillaments were well preserved, and bands could be seen distinctly.4. Nervous tissue: The brain tissues were well preserved in those corpses that were perfused shortly after death, but the peripheral nerves usually showed severe autolysis, obviously it is due to the same reasons as those for myolysis.5. Cartilage: The structural changes of cartilage after death were slow and all specimens of cartilage were well preserved.
