目的 觀察腹膜后巨淋巴結增殖癥的治療效果,探討其臨床表現、影像學特點、診斷、病理及治療方法。 方法 30歲女性患者1例,因反復腹瀉、右上腹脹2個月余,發現右側腹膜后腫物20 d,于2011年8月22日入院。患者在全麻下行腹膜后腫物切除術。手術3個月后,復查腹部CT、血常規、生化等檢查。并結合文獻進行綜述。 結果 手術過程順利,完整切除腫物,術后病理檢查示病變為巨淋巴結增殖癥,透明血管型。術后3個月患者門診隨訪,恢復良好,復查腹部CT未見腫物復發,血常規、生化等檢查均無異常。 結論 該病較為少見,病因尚不明確,確診需依賴病理組織學活檢,手術切除為首選治療,且預后好。
ObjectiveTo estimate whether alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) can reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) rats after mechanical ventilation.MethodsThe rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: a sham (S) group, a mechanical ventilation (V) group and a mechanical ventilation/AAT (VA) group. The rats in the S group only received anesthesia, and the rats in the V and VA groups received endotoxin to simulate ARDS followed by mechanical ventilation for 4 hours. At the beginning of ventilation, the rats in the V group received saline, and the rats in the VA group received AAT. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio and the lung wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio were tested. The total protein and neutrophil elastase concentrations and the neutrophil and macrophage counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were tested. Proinflammatory factors in BALF and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and microphage inflammatoryprotein-2 (MIP-2) in the serum were also detected. Furthermore, the oxidative stress response was detected, and histological injury and apoptosis were evaluated.ResultsCompared with the S group, PaO2/FiO2 was significantly decreased in the V group and the VA group, the protein concentration in the BALF and the lung W/D weight ratio were significantly increased, the concentration of inflammatory factors in BALF and peripheral blood was significantly increased, and inflammatory cells in BALF also increased. Meanwhile, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nicotinamide adeninedinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) activity increased significantly. The V group and VA group were severely damaged, and the number of apoptotic cells increased significantly. Compared with the V group, the PaO2/FiO2 in the VA group significantly increased; the W/D weight ratio and the BALF protein concentration decreased; the number of macrophages and neutrophils in the BALF, and the concentration of elastase significantly decreased; tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in BALF decreased, IL-10 increased; ICAM-1 and MIP-2 in peripheral blood decreased. At the same time, the MDA concentration, MPO and NADPH activities in the VA group were significantly lower than those in the V group; the tissue damage was significantly reduced, and the number of apoptosis was significantly reduced. In addition, compared with the V group, the expression of Bax, gelsolin and cleaved caspase-3 decreased in the VA group, but the expression of Bcl-2 was increased (all P<0.05).ConclusionsAAT can relieve VILI in ARDS rats. The protection conferred by AAT may be associated with the anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress response and antiapoptotic effect of AAT.
Objective To seek for a method of constructing the tissue microarray which contains keloid, skin around keloid, and normal skin. Methods The specimens were gained from patients of voluntary donation between March and May2009, including the tissues of keloid (27 cases), skin around keloid (13 cases), and normal skin (27 cases). The specimens were imbedded by paraffin as donor blocks. The traditional method of constructing the tissue microarray and section were modified according to the histological characteristics of the keloid and skin tissue and the experimental requirement. The tissue cores were drilled from donor blocks and attached securely on the adhesive platform which was prepared. The adhesive platform with tissue cores in situ was placed into an imbedding mold, which then was preheated briefly. Paraffin at approximately 70℃ was injected to fill the mold and then cooled to room temperature. Then HE staining, immunohistochemistry staining were performed and the results were observed by microscope. Results The constructed tissue microarray block contained 67 cores as designed and displayed smooth surface with no crack. All the cores distributed regularly, had no disintegration or manifest shift. HE staining of tissue microarray section showed that all cores had equal thickness, distinct layer, manifest contradistinction, well-defined edge, and consistent with original pathological diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry staining results demonstrated that all cores contained enough tissue dose to apply group comparison. However, in tissue microarray which was made as traditional method, many cores missed and a few cores shifted obviously. Conclusion Applying modified method can successfully construct tissue microarray which is composed of keloid, skin around keloid, and normal skin. This tissue microarray will become an effective tool of researching the pathogenesis of keloid.
