Relation of EGFR and KRAS gene mutations with its pathological characteristics in non-small cell lung cancer / 临床与实验病理学杂志

Purpose To investigate the relation of EGFR and KRAS gene mutations with the pathological characteristics in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The EGFR and KRAS gene mutations were detected and analyzed in 64 patients with NSCLC by capillary electrophoresis and fluorescent probe method.Results In 64 cases,the EGFR gene mutations were detected in 27 patients (42.2％);the KRAS gene mutations in 8 patients (12.5％).The EGFR and KRAS mutations synchronized in 4 patients (6.25％).The mutations rate of EGFR was related to gender,histology type and smoking condition (P ＜ 0.05).There was no association between mutation of EGFR gene with the age,differentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM stages (P ＞ 0.05).The mutations rate of KRAS gene was higher in adenocarcinoma patients than that in squamous carcinoma (P ＜ 0.01).There was no relationship between mutation of KRAS gene with the gender,age,smoking condition,differentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM stages (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In NSCLC,EGFR gene mutations rate is higher than KRAS gene mutation.The mutation rate of EGFR gene is higher in female,adenocarcinoma and never smokers;the mutations rate of KRAS mutations is higher in patients with adenocarcinoma.The mutations in EGFR and KRAS can exist at the same time.

A case report of lipomatous hemangiopericytoma / 天津医药

Lipoma of hemangiopericytomas (LHPC) is one ofrare soft-tissue tumors that grow slowly and occur in deep soft tissues. The classical histological morphology of LHPC is circularor spindle undifferentiated tumor cells that grow surrounding the thin-walled branching blood vessels. The clinical and pathological features of one patient with LHPC are retrospective analyzed to strengthen the understanding of LHPC.
